Watching Dumbledore's figure turn into light spots and disappear in the air, Newt's anger just rose in his heart. He subconsciously looked around at the familiar layout, and suddenly remembered an extremely important question.
In the past many years, Dumbledore has indeed disappeared more than once after leaving the problem behind. Therefore, Newt immediately had the same illusion as before that he had been tricked by Dumbledore again.
Dumbledore, who had killed a thousand cuts, ran away again and became a little out of control.
However, when this happened in the small space he had carefully created, the whole thing became a little strange.
As a wizard who is still at the top level today, it is the most basic operation to set up a blockade in his residence to block apparation, door keys and other long-distance transmission magic protection. Dumbledore cannot directly use apparation to leave.
Moreover, Newt did not notice any obvious spatial transfer fluctuations during the conversation between the two.
Combined with the magic Dumbledore showed just now, the answer is naturally self-evident.
Newt Scamander looked around the room carefully, and finally his eyes stopped at the snack table on the side of the living room. His face became slightly better, and he said angrily in that direction:
"Professor Dumbledore, are you too bored to make such a childish joke?"
"I thought just now that what you said was true. I was thinking about whether to go abroad for a trip tomorrow and temporarily lend the entire house to the scary 'Devil Reserve' girl you created."
Regardless of age, in Newt's view, there is no doubt that the environment has an impact on everyone.
Obviously, after spending a long time with children in Hogwarts Castle, even Albus Dumbledore, who seems to be mature and steady, is obviously much more lively than other old wizards of the same age.
So many weird jokes.
From beginning to end, Dumbledore never left the living room.
If Newt's guess is correct, the replacement process between the old wizard's body and the illusion should have occurred simultaneously when Dumbledore drew out his wand and cast the profound space isolation spell.
And if we continue to follow this point of reasoning, Dumbledore's previous threats might also be a joke.
That's right! That's absolutely true! It's all an extremely nasty and boring joke!
Grindelwald has been imprisoned in Nurmengard Castle for a long time. He doesn't even have any children. How could a granddaughter appear out of nowhere!
As Newt broke his illusion, Dumbledore's figure gradually appeared from the edge of the sofa. The old wizard blinked his eyes, quickly swallowed the cookie in his mouth, and looked at Newt, whose face improved.
, said happily.
"Tina's skills are really good. I just wanted to lighten the atmosphere a little bit."
Dumbledore paused for a moment, then without hesitation burst Newt's unformed fantasy, and said in a deep voice.
"But nothing I just said was a joke. If you have followed the news that happened in Austria a few months ago, you should have heard about the reappearance of Grindelwald's mark. The story is quite complicated.
But the ending of the story is that in order to protect Elena, Grindelwald reconvened the Saints after nearly fifty years."
Having said this, Dumbledore stood up and patted the sculpture-like Newt on the shoulder.
"When it comes to this child, after much thought, you are the only one I can trust."
"I'm sorry that you are still involved in such an embarrassing situation after so many years of retirement. In fact, I don't have much choice. After all, after getting along with each other for more than a year, I found that you may be one of the few in the magic world.
There are several wizards that Elena is interested in and likes from the bottom of her heart, so if it is you, maybe..."
"I? Like? Interested? Are you kidding me?"
Newt's mouth twitched and he looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.
"To be honest, except for magical animals, I don't think I am any special than others, so there must be some misunderstanding on this matter. I can help recommend many famous wizards..."
"No one can replace you, Newt. That's why the kid is so interested in magical beasts."
Dumbledore sighed, looked away from Newt's eyes inadvertently, and said in a complicated tone.
"Of course, it's a...well, a rather unique kind of like..."
"What is a unique like?!"
Newt Scamander looked at Dumbledore with twinkling eyes in front of him, and the ominous premonition in his heart became clearer.
Since Dumbledore's letter arrived, the unknown that has been lingering vaguely in the fog seems to have begun to gradually break through the fog, and the final answer to this unknown is found in Dumbledore's seemingly understatement.
Down.
"Well, you know, that kid is a chef..."
Dumbledore smiled slightly awkwardly and spread his hands unnaturally.
"Therefore, the child's love and research on animals usually involves how to eat them... The Acromantula community in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts has completely become what she calls the hunting ground for [velvet soft-shell crabs].
"
"Oh, but she also has a very close relationship with the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest. Just earlier this semester, in order to protect those pure and beautiful creatures, she even fought against the Death Eaters who sneaked into Hogwarts.
On the other hand, she is often responsible for feeding my Fox now, and the Phoenix and the hybrid Veela live peacefully together, which may mean something."
Seeing Newt Scamander's eyes suddenly turning frightened, Dumbledore quickly made some amends.
As a White Devil with a conscience and a bottom line, Albus Dumbledore still couldn't do that and watch Newt fall directly into Elena's hands without knowing anything about it.
Although the outcome of the whole thing will not change much, at least Dumbledore did not deliberately conceal this information about Elena.
After another pause, Dumbledore considered his words and spoke slowly.
"As I said, this child is now the Fairy Queen and the heir to the saints. If she really plans to use Galleons or force to satisfy her curiosity and appetite, the future of the magical animal world may be a little bad.
"
"In my opinion, in today's magical world, children can be taught correctly how to get along with magical creatures, and understand that the existence of those wonderful creatures has other extremely important meanings besides following nature's most basic food laws...
Maybe only you can do it, yes, it can only be you."
"But I also know that this is a bit excessive. Considering so much trouble, I would probably refuse it directly."
Dumbledore glanced at Newt, who had a troubled expression on his face, and said softly with a sincere face.
"Therefore, I can understand if you insist on refusing. After Tina returns to the living room with the children, if you still feel very embarrassed, I will take the child away and let her
Grandpa, don't worry if you temporarily help take care of her for a month, I guarantee that she will never cause harm to the little creatures you keep in your room."
"What about the ones out there? Aren't there names similar to [velvety soft-shell crab] anymore?"
After thinking about the whole thing, Newt smiled sadly and asked feebly.
"Dumbledore, you know I can't hide here forever without raising my head and looking outside... In short, I will try my best. If she is really that interested in magical creatures... I will try my best..."
"Oh, Newt, I knew you could always be trusted."
The embarrassment on Dumbledore's face was instantly wiped away, and he patted Newt on the shoulder with a warm smile.
"Okay, I really should leave this time, otherwise I may not be able to make it to the Wizengamot meeting."
As he spoke, Dumbledore stood up to say goodbye, opened the door, and walked briskly to the grass outside the hut.
This time, Newt Scamander did not stretch out his hand to stop him, but stood blankly in the living room, watching helplessly as Dumbledore disappeared into this area independent of the outside world in the flicker of the magic light beam.
In the magical little space of the world.
At the same time, from the corridor in the living room, the sound of happy conversations between Tina and several girls could be heard.
Newt Scamander sighed silently.
The revenge that was delayed for decades has finally come...
