Chapter 299 The Ilvermorny Airship
This summer, Britain is destined to be turbulent, but it will not affect Rove in the United States for the time being.
Throughout July, he traveled all over Arizona with Newt, measuring this ancient land with his feet.
As a protected area, there are a large number of ptarmigans living here... Fat, swallows, thin, graceful, even the pickiest magizoologist can find a cutie here that suits them.
In addition to Thunderbird, there are countless magical creatures living here: bark scorpions that can photosynthesize; monitor lizards that eat rocks; snake girls who seduce boys and take virginity...
Rove has seen them all, especially the snake girl. He even followed Newt to discover a brand new magic fish in the cave in the Grand Canyon of Colorado.
Newt specially wrote a paper to introduce this new species, and submitted it to the top journal in the magical world, Fantastic Beasts, and Rove also wrote a second work.
He did have a major contribution, not a fool.
Rove gets up early every day, spends time at night, prepares materials, and records data in the dark hole... This is all meticulous work!
Newt is also working on a new book, Fantastic Fantastic Beasts, a companion volume to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Although Tina always complained and asked Newt to write quickly, the toilet at home was out of paper, but the quality of the book was actually very high.
Many of the photos in the book were taken by Rove at close range.
Sometimes, in order to film the scenes of animals mating, he even went shirtless himself to help... guide.
In addition to observing magical creatures, Rove will also deal with those thieves, most of whom are wizards smuggled from Mexico next door.
But twenty years later, under the urging of the man named Trump, a border wall about ten meters high will be built here to prevent civilians from Mexico from smuggling.
In addition to the rich activities, Rove still worked hard to learn medical skills from Newt.
He was going to treat Hagrid's acromantula, Aragog, for cataracts, which was related to whether he could become Hogwarts'...Spider-Man.
In this kind of leisure time, Rove lived an extremely fulfilling life, but one thing quickly disrupted his rhythm.
He received a letter.
Dumbledore sent the letter, and Headmaster Ilvermorny...Eulali Hicks delivered the letter.
Sitting on the chair, Rove fell silent after reading the letter several times.
"What did Albus say in the letter?" Newt asked, a little surprised that Dumbledore wasn't writing to him.
so unusual!
"Professor Dumbledore said that Peter Pettigrew... broke out of prison."
Rove handed the letter to Newt, with a complicated look on his face, Sirius won't escape from prison, it's Pettigrew's turn to escape from prison, right?
That would make Peter escape, and Fudge is such a piece of shit.
Rove cursed secretly, then sighed, "I have to go back to England immediately."
"Rove, why are you going back?" Tina was a little bit reluctant to part with her precious grandson, she asked:
"Is the British Ministry of Magic so incompetent that you have to go back with one of your children in order to capture the Death Eaters?"
"Grandma, I'm not going back to catch Peter, but to protect Shirley and Hermione." Rove explained softly:
"When I was interrogating Peter, the two of them watched from the sidelines. Peter knew that they were my friends and I was not in the UK. He might seek revenge on them."
Rove sighed: "Although Professor Dumbledore has sent wizards to protect them, I am still a little worried."
Peter has escaped now, and with his cowardly character, he should not dare to come back for revenge, but who can fully guarantee this kind of thing?
Rove didn't want to be too late to regret after something happened, that's not his style.
Dumbledore also knew about this, so he wrote to him.
"Then pack up your things quickly. I'm going to visit Beauxbatons, and I happen to stop by Hogwarts." Professor Hicks said with a slight smile:
"Little Scamander, I'll take you there!"
"How do we go, Professor?" Rove asked curiously, "Are you taking the Mayflower?"
"No." Hicks shook his head, pointed to the sky and said, "Let's sit on that thing!"
Rove looked up at the sky, and saw a cylindrical airbag more than 50 meters floating in the air, with an aluminum pod underneath, which was a huge...
airship!
Seeing the boy frowning, Hicks asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Is it safe?" Rove worried: "Won't it explode?"
"..."
In fact, it’s no wonder that Rove is so nervous. As an airship that used to be as famous as an airplane, it is indeed known for being unsafe.
The principle of the airship is to fill the air bag with a buoyant gas whose density is lower than that of air, so as to generate buoyancy to lift it into the air.
For a long time, the airbags were filled with flammable and explosive hydrogen.
Ordinary people would be frightened when driving past a gas tank truck, fearing that it would explode, and when there are hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of hydrogen on their heads...it would be strange not to be afraid!
The famous Zeppelin airship "Hindenburg" caught fire while carrying passengers, killing dozens of people.
But after all, it is a magic airship, and its safety should be significantly improved.
Rove quickly packed up his things, carrying the black suitcase, and bid farewell to Newt and Tina.
Margaery wasn't here, she had recently returned to New York, and they could only say goodbye through a double-sided mirror.
Rove followed Hicks along a staircase towards the airship. When he looked up, he could see that the airbag was fully inflated, like a sleeping whale.
There are also letters a few feet high on the airbag:
The Ilvermorny.
This airship is the means of transportation for Ilvermorny, and it can take many students on long-distance travel.
Walking into the cabin, Rove entered a large living room with a large chandelier above his head and a table in the middle with a crystal goblet and a large plate of fruit on it.
As a wizard untied the anchor cable, the propeller began to turn, and the giant machine slowly rose, with the creaking and exhaling sounds of the air valve.
Rove sat on a chair, and through the window, he saw the airship take off slowly and plunge into the thick clouds. Looking out the window, the scenery was extremely magnificent.
Rove admired it for about half an hour, when the cabin suddenly shook.
The floor dipped briefly, sinking almost imperceptibly to the east, and the wind changed from occasional gusts to a constant low howl.
Soon, a wizard rushed in, and he explained: "Professor Hicks, it's a thunderbird, and it's attacking the airship."
Rove: "..."
"Understood." Hicks poured herself a glass of lemonade. She looked at the boy and asked, "Rove, are you scared?"
"Yes, Professor." Rove said frankly, "Sitting under hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of hydrogen gas does make me a little anxious."
"The airbag will be fine." Professor Hicks took a sip of the lemonade, and she comforted:
"Thunderbird's lightning will just go around the leather boat and cook us inside this giant lightning rod."
"..."
"Thank you for your comfort, Professor!"
"polite."
