Chapter 657 The First Confrontation

A rare magic star.

The cunning and cunning Fairy Queen.

The young Dark Lord with hidden murderous intentions.

A naturally sensitive and willful hybrid Veela.

Fearless magical animal predators...

Any one of these labels is enough to give people a headache, let alone all mixed together...

Maybe this is the legendary demon king who destroyed the world?

Newt Scamander roughly understood the uneasiness that had been swirling in his heart before, as well as the foreboding premonition.

If there had not been Dumbledore's last words, if there had not been worries about the future fate of magical animals, and if there had not been the crisis of the birth of the next Dark Lord, he would have probably started packing his luggage and preparing to take Tina and his little animals to hide there. In a safe little corner, I was quietly waiting for the end of Miss Kaslana's summer vacation.

As for the chances of successfully escaping, Newt is quite confident - anyway, he has already considered the situation where Dumbledore will trick him again, so the new safe house alternative can be said to be a real starting point. disappear from this world.

But now that Dumbledore has told everything frankly, he naturally cannot continue to bury his head in the sand like an ostrich, pretending not to know anything and slowly waiting for the subsequent tragedy to happen.

He knew very well what terrible disasters could result from unlimited power and wealth if misused for hunting.

The character of mixed-blood Veela is not completely impossible to grasp. As long as their bottom line is not stimulated, Veela are actually kind-hearted and lively natural spirits. Under the guidance of sincerity and patience, they will also become reliable protectors of order.

On the other hand, considering the special identity of the girl "The Fairy Queen of Gringotts", her benevolent change will at least greatly affect and determine the relationship between fairies and human wizards, and even create a new symbiotic society. , this is something that no purely human wizard can do, and perhaps this is why Dumbledore attaches so much importance to it.

Well, at the same time, she's the last remaining note in the wizarding wars of old.

Whether it is the rest that ends hatred, or the first movement that opens the dawn, after all, compared to the adult wizards who have already been fully formed, Elena, who has just completed her first year at Hogwarts, still has almost infinite plasticity.

And this time, except for this month of summer vacation, Dumbledore was responsible for most of the time himself...

As Newt Scamander thought about what was going to happen next, his originally depressed and annoyed mood eased a little.

Merlin on top, may the Saints Gathering symbol never appear in the sky above Bournemouth town.

Newt took a deep breath and said a rare silent prayer in his heart.

At the same time, four women, one large, three small, and one small, had returned to the living room one after another. Judging from the expressions on their faces and the increasingly intimate conversations, it was obvious that their first impressions of each other were quite good.

No! To be precise...

Newt looked around the room, his eyes passing over his wife's figure, and landing on the little silver-haired witch who looked the cutest.

A faint light occasionally flashed on the long, satin-like silver hair, and her delicate face, like the forest elf in Muggle legends, had a timidity that made people unconsciously feel affection, and a cute little hair followed her. The girl's footsteps swayed happily from side to side above her head...

Is this a talent for enchantment comparable to that of a pure-blood Veela?

There was laughter and laughter at the dining table in the living room. The warm and familiar scene did not bring any warmth to Newt.

There is no doubt that this extremely dangerous little hybrid Veela has successfully captured his wife - this is not an unexpected result. Even if she is so many years older, Tina cannot be the first in history. A rival of the Fairy Queen.

If it were another scene, Newt would not have such a strong cold mood.

However, since I just learned the true identity of this white-haired dumpling from Dumbledore, the more gentle and cute this child behaves, the more dangerous and terrifying it becomes in the eyes of Newt Scamander - the devil who plays with people's hearts. But it is much more difficult than those paranoid lunatics who kill people randomly, and it is also much more difficult to deal with.

Judging from the current situation, even if he proposes to drive these little girls away now, not to mention the reaction of Dumbledore and the young Dark Lord, his gentle and virtuous Mrs. Scamander will first attack him Fire.

Just when Newt Scamander was lost in his thoughts, a delicate and lovely face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Scamander, where is Professor Dumbledore? Isn't he with you?"

Elena asked while sucking the cookie crumbs stuck to her fingertips and looking at her surroundings curiously.

coming! The first face-to-face contact is here! The secret must not be revealed!

Newt Scamander closed his eyes for a moment, and his chaotic mind instantly returned to a calm state.

The information gap between the two sides is now his biggest reliance, and he must use this to succeed.

This is not the Dark Lord who plays with people's hearts, the heir to the saints, or the granddaughter of Grindelwald. She is just a Veela, a troll, a goblin, a humanoid horned beast... He has always been very good at dealing with magical creatures. confident.

After a second, Newt opened his eyes again and answered softly with a smile.

"Oh, Professor Dumbledore had something urgent, so he left first."

"It turns out there was an emergency suddenly? What a coincidence? Once again..."

Elena's eyes flickered and she whispered thoughtfully.

"Again? What again?"

Hearing the low murmur from the girl's mouth, Newt subconsciously asked curiously.

"Oh, it's nothing. Professor Dumbledore does have a lot of important work to do."

Elena shook her head slightly, and the smile on her face did not change at all.

She had personally experienced this familiar routine a few months ago in Nurmengarde Castle, but compared to the last time she was caught off guard, this time she had actually expected it. The only thing that needed to be confirmed was yes……

"By the way, speaking of which, Mr. Scamander..."

Elena raised her head, looked into Newt Scamander's eyes with her lake-blue eyes, and asked casually.

"So before Professor Dumbledore left, did he tell you anything else? For example, give you a general introduction to our situation, or the schedule for the next month? Did the professor just leave? How long?"

The first step in Demon King Survival Science is to determine the offensive and defensive alliances.

Compared with Gellert Grindelwald, Newt Scamander, a die-hard confidant of the old carrot, is more likely to cooperate in joint crimes. If her true identity has been exposed, she does not need to be so Take the trouble to pretend.

"Well, Dumbledore taught him..."

Newt relaxed and subconsciously prepared to tell what he had prepared before. His eyes fell on Elena's face that seemed to be shrouded in a shimmering light. His heart suddenly shuddered, and the words that were about to reach his mouth were instantly stopped. go back.

etc!

This situation is not right! This phenomenon is obviously a state where the Veela bloodline is exerting its charm.

If it is just a normal question, then this little guy who has mastered his own charm ability does not need to deliberately use charm - the question just now is definitely not a casual chat, there is definitely something wrong!

Newt quickly replayed Elena's words in his mind. He glanced at the crumbs beside the sofa that Dumbledore had cleaned up before leaving after eating the cookies, and he reacted instantly.

This question is simply a trap.

No matter how he fabricated and organized Dumbledore's instructions, it would be revealed that the old wizard had been staying in the living room for a long time, which was contrary to what Dumbledore said about his sudden departure due to urgent matters.

Time, yes, the key point of this question is that the last sentence is not a question at all!

"Unfortunately, Professor Dumbledore left shortly after you left the living room."

Newt shrugged, a look of natural annoyance on his face.

"In addition to knowing from previous letters that you are going to the Quidditch national team to participate in the summer trial, he has not even introduced me to who you children are - I am Newt Scamander. , may I ask you..."

Although he's not that good at acting, the annoyance on Newt's face is real.

He had fully realized the difficulty of the trouble Dumbledore had thrown at him. This level of cunning was simply not something that an ordinary eleven-year-old witch, no, it was simply not comparable to an ordinary wizard.

Therefore, even if he was facing the youngest elf queen in the history of Gringotts, he was not afraid of being exposed.

After carefully studying Newt's annoyed expression and the neat and tidy living room table, Elena nodded slightly, and the wariness in her heart quickly disappeared - as far as she knew, Newt was a simple wizard who was not good at lying to people.

"Oh, that's it..."

Elena responded slightly frustrated, and then a sweet smile appeared on her face.

"Hello, Senior Newt. I am Elena, Elena Kaslana. And like you, I am a student from Hufflepuff House. I especially like magical animals. Since entering the magical world, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time."

As well as the famous Fairy Queen, Grindelwald's granddaughter, the third generation Dark Lord, Hogwarts chef, magical beast predator... Newt Scamander twitched the corners of his eyes and silently added in his heart. One sentence.

Newt Scamander looked unchanged on the outside, but he was quietly relieved on the inside.

Fortunately, Dumbledore prompted him and he responded promptly, otherwise it would have been a different scene now.

…

The outcome of the first duel

(Because of Old Carrot’s informant and Old Freckles’ special attack on magical creatures)

Newt Scamander wins
