Chapter 901 Traces of the Thunderbird

Pierce smiled and exchanged greetings with a few people, then looked at Ivan coming down the stairs and said. "Mr. Hals, I have something important to ask you."

In view of the presence of outsiders, Pierce did not use honorifics to avoid adding unnecessary trouble.

"Has the matter mentioned last time been settled?" Ivan asked directly. Seeing Pierce's relaxed and carefree look, he could guess that it was not about Grindelwald, and it was probably related to Ray. Bird related.

"Yes! Because it's so important, I have no choice but to make the trip myself." Pierce nodded, while looking at Hermione and others indifferently.

"Let's talk in the conference room!" Ivan understood immediately, sent the Granger family away, and took Pierce into the conference room on the top floor.

After leaving the sight of Hermione and others, Pierce's attitude immediately became respectful and he reported. "The thunderbird you asked me to find has been found. According to intelligence, someone found traces of this magical creature in a small town in France."

"France? Why is it there? I remember the thunderbird's habitat is not in North America?" Ivan raised his eyebrows and asked strangely.

"I heard that they were smuggled there, but something went wrong along the way. It caused a lot of commotion in that small town a few days ago. People from the International Federation of Wizards are investigating this matter, and this information is also They provided it!" Pierce said casually.

"Wait... International Federation of Wizards? Are these people so kind?" Ivan didn't quite believe it. He had just slapped the International Federation of Wizards in the face. It would be nice if the other party didn't bear any grudge against him. How could he be so kind to him? Provide information.

Or are these people finally figuring it out and planning to use this information to ease the stiff relationship between them?

"Have you sent someone to verify it?" Ivan looked at Pierce and asked very cautiously.

"I have already checked with someone. The weather in that town has indeed been unusual recently. It may have been affected by Thunderbirds... But I am not 100% sure..." Pierce said hesitantly. .

In fact, he sent his men to capture this thing directly and ask for credit. However, those Aurors squatted in the town for several days and did not see the shadow of the Thunderbird. They actually felt the harshness of the local area. weather.

Listening to Pierce's story, Ivan was not surprised. The thunderbird is an extremely keen magical creature that can predict danger in advance. Coupled with its powerful magic power, it is very difficult to capture.

But it was precisely because the other party was so outstanding that he selected Thunderbird as the target for his next fusion.

"In addition, our spies also discovered that martial law has been imposed in France due to unknown reasons...the review of immigrants has been increased. I guess it may be related to Grindelwald..." At this point, Pierce's expression became very serious. dignified.

"No wonder the International Federation of Wizards gave us this information so easily." Ivan touched his chin and said with a sneer. These people probably hoped that they would run over and bump into Grindelwald.

Pierce naturally understands this, but the Wizards' Union's plan may be in vain, because he has found a professional two days ago to search for traces of the Thunderbird, and he thinks it won't be long before he can capture that thing. .

However, Ivan's response was beyond his expectation.

"No, I'd better go and see for myself." Ivan waved his hand and said.

He was also a little curious about what Grindelwald wanted to do in France, and some information still needed to be confirmed, such as whether Grindelwald had been reborn and completely freed from the troubles of dark magic as he imagined.

Of course, the most important task is to capture the Thunderbird and complete the next blood fusion. Otherwise, Ivan really has no confidence in fighting Grindelwald who holds the Elder Wand.

"If you plan to go to that town in person, you can try to go to a local hotel. Calculate the time and the commissioner has probably arrived. I believe he should be able to provide you with some help." Pierce said hesitantly, and then from The wizard took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Ivan.

Ivan stretched out his hand to take the photo and looked down. The photo showed an overly young wizard, probably less than twenty years old. He was dressed very simply, but he looked smart and capable.

"His name is Rolf Scamander. He should be considered an expert on magical creatures... Although he looks young, he knows a lot about magical creatures..." Pierce explained.

"Scamander?" Ivan inexplicably felt that the name was familiar. He carefully looked through his memory before remembering it, and then asked in surprise. "What is his relationship with Newt Scamander, the master of magical creatures?"

"Rolf is the grandson of Newt Scamander..." Pierce shrugged, which was why he was confident that a nineteen-year-old kid could find the Thunderbird.

However, in order to complete the task given by Ivan, he originally planned to directly invite Newt Scamander himself, so as to ensure nothing went wrong.

Who would have thought that this guy would actually take his son to Africa to explore the problem of sphinx reproduction. The Auror, who had made a wasted trip, could only capture his grandson and give him a head.

Fortunately, after some inquiries, they were surprised to find that Rolf was very knowledgeable about the habits of magical creatures. After learning that the target this time was a cherished thunderbird, he volunteered to go on the road without their persuasion.

"Interesting, I will go find him when we get there." Ivan nodded and did not refuse Pierce's arrangement.

Although he has learned a lot about magical creatures over the years in order to find a suitable fusion target, there is no way he can compare with Rolf, whose family has a profound family background - they are all scholars who study magical creatures. Even to the point of obsession.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away. When do you plan to leave?" Pierce asked.

"Tomorrow...not...the day after tomorrow!" Ivan replied hesitantly.

If possible, Ivan naturally hopes to leave as early as possible, but he still has some things to arrange before leaving England, such as placing a Loyalty Charm in this mansion to avoid being robbed when he goes out, and Hermione's Bian also needs to explain...

"Okay! How about I order someone to send a letter to Rolf later and ask him to wait for you at the local hotel the day after tomorrow?" Pierce said.

"That's it." Ivan thought for a while and agreed that there should be nothing missing.
