Chapter 656: Laoluobo’s Thousand-Layer Routine

Watching Dumbledore's figure turn into light spots and disappear into the air, Newt's annoyance just rose. He subconsciously looked around at the familiar layout, and suddenly remembered an extremely important question.

In the past many years, there have been more than one scene where Dumbledore left the problem and disappeared directly. Therefore, Newt immediately had the same illusion as before - he was tricked by Dumbledore again. , Dumbledore, the man who had killed a thousand cuts, ran away again, and his mood became slightly 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 long-distance transmission magic protection such as apparation and portkeys in his residence. It is impossible for Dumbledore to directly apparate away.

And during the conversation between the two, Newt did not notice any obvious spatial transfer fluctuations.

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 expression became slightly better, and he said angrily in that direction:

"Professor Dumbledore, are you too bored to make such a childish joke?"

"I thought what you said just now was true. I was thinking about whether to go abroad for a trip tomorrow and simply lend the entire house to the scary little girl you created in your mouth as a 'Devil Reserve'."

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 the seemingly mature and steady Albus Dumbledore is obviously much more lively than other old wizards of the same age before he can start talking. So many weird jokes.

From beginning to end, Dumbledore never left the living room.

If Newt's guess was correct, the replacement process between the old wizard's body and the illusion should have occurred simultaneously when Dumbledore took 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! Absolutely! 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 children, so how could he have a granddaughter!

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 paid attention to the news that happened in Austria in the past few months, you should have heard about the reappearance of Grindelwald's mark - compare the ins and outs of the story It’s complicated, but the ending of the story is that in order to protect Elena, Grindelwald reunited 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 were you, maybe..."

"Me? 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 the thing - that kid has a special interest 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 do you mean, a more 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 lies 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 turned into what she calls a [velvety soft-shell crab] hunting ground. "

"Oh, but she is also very close to the unicorns in the Forbidden Forest. Just earlier this semester, in order to protect those pure and beautiful creatures, she did not hesitate to fight 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 coexist peacefully, which may mean something."

Seeing Newt Scamander's instantly horrified look, 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. Among them, although the outcome of the whole thing will not change much, at least Dumbledore did not deliberately hide 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 intends to use Galleons or force to satisfy her curiosity and appetite - the future of the magical animal world may be a bit different. Oops."

"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 looked troubled, 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 is temporarily helping to take care of her for a month - don't worry, 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] again?"

After figuring out the whole thing, Newt smiled sadly and asked weakly.

"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 go 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, the sound of happy conversations between Tina and several girls came from the corridor in the living room.

Newt Scamander sighed silently.

The revenge that was delayed for decades has finally come...
