Chapter 309 The Bargaining Chip of Freedom

West's IQ was fine, but his brain circuitry was obviously different from ordinary people's, so Sean simply changed the topic.

He didn't lift the petrification spell for the other party, but asked directly.

"What are you doing in Hogsmeade? Why do you indulge your sniffers in stealing things?"

"Huh?" West's eyes lit up, "Don't you know what I'm here for? Great! You weren't sent by Newt to catch me!"

Sean: "...Answer my question first."

West, who could only move the upper part of his neck, stretched his head forward eagerly, with an eager look on his face: "As long as you are not one of Newt's group, it will be easy! I didn't let Sniff out, it escaped on its own." Out."

Sean said coldly: "Don't bullshit me. You've been following me since the tavern. It's normal for a normal person to lose Sniff and ask me to get it back and compensate for the loss."

West said matter-of-factly: "But I'm not a normal person?"

"I can tell, but you haven't answered my question yet." Sean's expression remained unchanged.

He knows a lot of abnormal people, so what if there is one more?

West showed a warm smile: "You can help me unlock the petrification spell first, my friend. Since you have revealed your true face, it proves that you are not an enemy - Gray is actually so kind to you. I think I know that you are Who is it!"

Sean just looked at him lightly and said nothing.

West seems to be a very familiar person. He has completely lost his previous desperate look. Instead, he said to Sean very enthusiastically: "Shawn Wallop, right? I know you ! I graduated a year before you entered school, and I am also a Ravenclaw! Someone told me before, that one came out of nowhere!"

Sean narrowed his eyes. The other party knew a lot...

West was still talking loudly: "It's impossible for the Oolong to come out of the hole and turn into a bird and snake summoning spell. I've asked my juniors. I know that bird and snake. Najia, right? I'll give the child to you, right?" You went to Newt's place! He has such a sensitive personality, but he is so obedient. I knew at that time that you are very similar to Newt! No, you smell better than Newt - um, smell better? Fantastic Beasts should Would that describe you?

"And Nurmengard! There are also my friends there. They told me that you are the Dragon Whisperer, but I know that you must have attracted the fire dragon with your own characteristics, right?

"By the way, and also, during the riots in the Forbidden Forest two years ago, you became friends with the Black Dragon of the Little Heshidry Islands, right? Oh! And the Equestrian Water Monster! Merlin's beard, these two guys are not easy to talk to. ! When I heard it from Hagrid, I knew you must be special. To be honest, I have wanted to know you for a long time! By the way, what happened to your curled-winged demon? Is it an evolved race in the wild or some kind of The unexpected product of magic..."

Sean interrupted the other person's chatter: "You and Hagrid are familiar with each other?"

"Um," West's face froze, and then he hesitated, "It's okay, it's okay. I met him when I was in school, but I'm only familiar with him. There's absolutely nothing unusual about it. trade……"

After saying this, his brows twitched in place.

"Um, no, I mean..."

West hesitated, but Sean didn't ask further.

In the dim screaming shack, the two people stared at each other with big eyes. As time passed by, West's face gradually became embarrassed.

"Um, aren't you curious and don't want to ask more questions?" West smiled coquettishly.

Sean raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you stalling for time? Just watch your performance - but if you are waiting for your Bowtruckle to unbutton the suitcase, you may be disappointed. "

He took out a branch from his arms, and there was another branch tied to it - no, there was also a brown-black Bowtruckle tied to it. It looked like two branches tied together.

Sean poured a fairy egg out of the ring like a jelly bean and fed it to the Bowtruckle, who was tied up but didn't seem to want to resist.

The bowtruckle, which like its owner could only move its head, shrugged at West, then dived directly into the fairy egg and sucked the juice happily.

Sean stuck the lollipop-like Bowtruckle on the floor, and then nodded in admiration: "Skin color is rare, and it is also very clever - it has been following me since you were caught by me, but the tracking technology is still there. Needs improvement.”

West's face froze completely, and it took him a long time before he pulled out a difficult smile: "Heh...heh...I didn't mean that. Didn't Gray get out of the suitcase just now? I still want to Why are you opening your suitcase..."

"It means you and your friends in the box haven't formed a complete state of trust yet. The magic of the entrance and exit of the suitcase can set permissions - I guess the little guys inside don't want to talk to you? So you don't dare to let it go freely. In and out.

"But now, you are still trying to let it come out. Does that mean that the opponent is a rare guy who may attack indiscriminately? Well, you must have been hit by many attacks, so your resistance is stronger than mine? Well, Such magical animals are rare...Wait a minute, let me take a look..."

Sean came closer to the other party and carefully looked at West's earrings, which were a string of small vermilion beads. When he got closer, he could smell the strange fragrance exuding from them.

“Tsk, tsk, metra fruit, native to the Appalachian Mountains. Although cats and leopards eat meat, this fruit is their favorite food. Cats and leopards eat this fruit and it’s like a domestic cat drunk on catnip. , so it will hypnotize all nearby creatures before eating it and then enjoy it——"

Listening to Sean's words, West's face became more and more depressed, and the forced smile on his lips was already uglier than a sad face.

Sean ignored him and continued: "Cat Leopard's hypnotic ability can indeed be resisted through long-term practice, just like a wizard resists hypnotic spells. With my hypnotic spell, it only took you half an hour to wake up. Come here, it seems that you are quite experienced. If we are both hypnotized at the same time, you should wake up at least ten minutes earlier than me, and our positions will be changed by then? "

West's face completely collapsed, and he said with a sad face: "I heard Hagrid said you were a pervert, but I didn't expect you to be such a pervert..."

Sean pulled up a lame chair and sat down casually. He patted the dust on his collar and said casually: "Okay, can you tell the truth now?"

West was completely withered. He lowered his head and said angrily: "This was originally intended to be used against Newt, but I didn't expect that it wouldn't even be able to deal with you..."

Sean glanced at the other party speechlessly, wondering what to use to deal with Newt, how to use magical beasts to deal with Newt...

"Okay, tell me, why did you come to Hogsmeade, and why are you worried that Newt will come to catch you."

West sighed dejectedly, and finally told the purpose of his visit honestly.

"Newt seems to have taught you everything. You probably know that he once had an assistant, and my name is not fake. It was my grandmother who gave it to me. Her name is Bunty..."

Sean suddenly realized that Bunty was indeed Newt's assistant, a very kind witch, and she seemed to have a crush on her employer Newt at the time...

After West's narration, Sean also understood the origin of this guy. Gu Zan

Newt Robles West comes from the West family, and because of Newt's friendship with Bunty, the two families have always been very close friends. West has shown great interest in magical animals since he was born, and Newt is naturally willing to teach him a lot about magical animals. After he turned eleven, he also entered Hogwarts to study...

It's true that he didn't release Sniff on purpose, but he has been acting secretly because of Newt. The reason for the whole thing was something Sean didn't expect.

This guy has the same keen interest in magical animals as Newt, but in a different direction.

Newt wanted to understand and protect, while West's research direction turned to the breeding of magical animals...

Yes, breeding...

Moreover, this guy has quite a lot of experience in the research on the breeding of magical animals - the horned camel originally from the European mountains has been almost extinct. Newt has been committed to helping the horned beast restore the proficiency of the population, but there has been no good way.

Horned camel beasts are violent by nature, both male and female are frigid and will never mate if they don't see eye to eye.

Then, West, who was still attending Hogwarts at the time, spent just one summer vacation getting all three of Newt's horned hornets pregnant. Although it sounded weird, it was enough to prove that this guy was indeed Very good at it.

However, West did not follow Newt's wish to help those endangered magical animals. Instead, he was very keen on breeding and genetically improving the offspring of those ultra-high-risk magical animals.

At the same time, his relationship with Hagrid is indeed unusual. Come to think of it, one is passionate about breeding magical animals, and the other is passionate about crossing magical animals...

Hearing West say this, even Sean broke into a cold sweat.

Newt made the absolute right choice not to let West and Hagrid interact! If these two people are really given enough time to study, I am afraid that the world will be in disaster soon...

West, who was forbidden by Newt to associate with Hagrid, obviously didn't give up. After graduating from Hogwarts, he traveled around the world. Once he got inspiration, he would sneak back to find Hagrid...

As a result, Newt's ban was quickly upgraded to a wanted order. When Sean was in Nurmengard last year, West was caught by Newt once when he sneaked back and was imprisoned for more than three years. moon.

As a result, this guy managed to escape, and now he dares to come back...

No wonder you have to do everything secretly, all for fear of being caught by Newt!

After saying all this, West stared at Sean longingly: "This is biological research and genetic evolution! And the research conducted by Hagrid and I is definitely not about magical transformation, but about making living creatures mate willingly!"

"Aphrodisiacs and confusing potions will also be used, right..." Sean said angrily. He had no doubts about West's identity. Neither Dave nor the looking glass responded to the biological alarm. However, the other party This dream is really...

West smiled coquettishly: "It's just a small auxiliary means..."

With that said, he begged Sean again: "Sean, you are so familiar with magical animals, and you are so familiar with Newt, then you should know that this is the long-cherished wish of a magizoologist!"

"so?"

"Hey, can you please don't notify Newt?" West said with a flattering look on his face.

Sean looked at him and said nothing.

West was very clever in avoiding Newt. He immediately said: "I got a lot of good things during my trip this time, such as the poison horn, a complete set of Sphinx furs, etc., Wo. Student Lepp obviously also loves magical animals. As a senior, I will give them to you for free! This is what I should do to support my juniors’ research and study!”

If he hadn't been immobilized by the petrification spell from the neck down, his chest would have been slapped loudly.

"I can't explain this to Professor Scamander. He usually takes good care of me..." Sean said slowly.

West was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Professor Scamander usually takes care of me like this, so - I need to pay more!

A look of pain flashed in his eyes, and finally he said with a serious face: "To compensate you for the psychological damage caused by being sniffed and stolen things - I also got a magical animal egg. Don't worry, it is definitely very rare. I have never seen magical animals before, but they are probably birds. In fact, I am going to let Hagrid take a look at the egg, and then try to let the hippogriff hatch and hatch another evil bird at the same time. Let’s see if these two can erase the spark of love when they become adults..."

Sean's brows twitched. What kind of magical operation was this? And if these two were hatched together, wouldn't they be half-brothers and sisters?

Fantastic Beasts, you also want to do orthopedics? !

Seeing Sean's unkind expression, West seemed to have made a huge decision that was hard to let go of. He said sadly: "As long as you let me go, I, I won't go to Hagrid..."

Sean raised his eyebrows. He had no interest in things like unicorn horns. Although they were contraband, he had plenty of gold galleons, and the smugglers in Diagon Alley would not refuse him.

It was a magical animal that he had never heard of, which made him very interested.

Seeing Sean's hesitation, West raised his head and said, "I was worried that the box would be confiscated after being caught by Newt, so I hid it on my body. Look through the hem of my cloak. There is a deformed person with a confusion spell there. Lizard skin bag, you can inspect it first!”

Sean used his wand to lift up the opponent's stiff cloak. After breaking the spell, he discovered a bag close to the inside of the cloak.

He took off the bag and opened it. There was a fist-sized golden egg lying inside, with cyan patterns on the surface.

Sean, who had been studying with Newt for a long time, did not recognize the origin of the egg, but based on the pattern and the shaking of the eggshell, it was most likely a bird egg.

West smiled flatteringly at him: "Look, it shouldn't be in Newt's notebook, right?"

It was indeed an egg I had never seen before... Sean readily collected it together with the deformed lizard skin bag.

Then he winked at the other person.

The corner of West's eye twitched.

Do you still need to pay more?
