Chapter 395: Galloping moon-crazy beast
Chapter 395 The Galloping Moon-Crazy Beast
The Yeqi carriage galloped among the clouds until the evening, when its speed gradually slowed down and returned to the ground.
Kyle walked out of the car and looked around curiously.
Devon…Kyle is no stranger.
Because the village of St. Catchpole is in Devonshire, but he has no impression of the place in front of him.
This is too far away from the village of St. Catchpole, almost to the edge of Devon County. Kyle can even hear the sound of waves in the distance.
"Sir, welcome." A sharp and familiar voice came.
Kyle looked down subconsciously. It was a house elf, wearing a floral shirt and a pair of goggles on his forehead.
“Tata? What kind of look do you have?”
Tata is Nicoléme’s house elf, but unlike other elves, it does not reject clothes, and even the new clothes Nicoléme gave it have filled an entire wardrobe.
But Kyle still couldn't understand the pattern of a floral shirt, goggles and leather shoes. The buttons were even wrong and the shirt was high on one side and low on the other.
But when he was in Paris before, Tata's dress looked quite normal...
"The master said that I should try some different combinations." Tata tugged on the floral shirt on his body, "What do you think, sir?"
"Hmm... It's very novel." Kyle gave a thumbs up. "At least it can surpass 90% of wizards. If you put it in the crowd, it will definitely be the most eye-catching one."
Tata happily pulled his clothes again, but he did not forget the business.
“Sir, come with me.”
Tata bowed slightly and then walked in one direction.
Kyle led the Thestral carriage and followed him. He only walked about a dozen steps when the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
In the open space that was originally full of gravel, there was an imposing manor inexplicably.
The feet turned into flat grass, and there were all kinds of beautiful plants that couldn’t be named.
In front of the gate of the manor, there are two lifelike fire dragon stone statues that look as if they are real.
The Thestrals refused to go any further when they got here, no matter what Kyle said, it was useless.
“It’s okay sir, it’s safe here and Tata will take good care of them.”
"Okay." Kyle thought for a moment and simply untied the reins of the Thestrals, allowing them to move around freely.
“The food is in the carriage, I will bring some more later.”
One of the Thestrals snorted and came over to rub Kyle's arm.
After that, Kyle followed Tata into the manor.
This place is even bigger than it looks from the outside, almost like Hogwarts.
A kettle walked past them on two short legs, shaking its head all the way, and sprayed water evenly on the plants on both sides.
“Hey, pay attention, we have guests arriving.” Tata said dissatisfied.
The kettle suddenly stopped, and the long spout bent slightly, as if to apologize...
A kettle is apologizing?
Kyle felt like hundreds of moon-crazed beasts were rushing past in his heart... He really had met Merlin!
But when I think about the owner here, everything seems to make sense again.
“Leave it alone, this rash guy.” Tata continued walking forward.
Along the way, Kyle also saw scissors pruning dead branches, a fountain taking the initiative to bathe the birds, and a refrigerator being chased around by a cat.
Kyle felt that he had to apologize to Mr. Weasley... Nico's house really had a running refrigerator, and the refrigerator was throwing ice cubes out while running, trying to scare away the cat. Tsk, it’s so lively.
Kyle followed Tata up a flight of stairs. Nicoléme was standing there with a smile, and next to him was an equally white-haired witch.
That was his wife Perenelle, also over six hundred years old.
“Long time no see, kid.” Nico patted Kyle’s shoulder enthusiastically…
“Click…”
Listening to the crisp sound in his ears, Kyle thought for a moment that he was here to touch porcelain.
“Be careful, this is the third time this year.” Perenel tapped his wrist lightly.
"I will." Nico said with a smile, and then took Kyle into the room.
To Kyle's surprise, there were only three of them in the huge room.
He originally thought he would see some familiar people, such as MacPhail, whom he met in Paris before, or the Beauxbatons principal Maxim who wanted to poach...
“Don’t be surprised.” Nico seemed to notice his doubts, “A few friends wanted to come and celebrate Christmas together before, but I didn’t think it was necessary.
“In my opinion, there is no difference between those so-called festivals and ordinary days.”
Having lived for more than six hundred years, Nico has experienced too much, so in his eyes, no day is special, they are all the same.
The old man walked forward slowly, and Kyle followed him to a spacious room.
The chair that was still in the corner immediately came to the table, and the teapot on the table also took the initiative to pour a cup of hot black tea.
“What a coincidence, I was just preparing to invite you here as a guest a few days ago when I received the letter you sent from Albus.”
Nico sat on the armchair and said with a smile: "I have to say, you really gave me a big problem..."
“What?” Kyle was a little confused.
"This..." Nico handed Kyle a golden pocket watch with five hands, "Albus came here last year and asked me to fix it no matter what.
“The last time he acted so nervous was when he came to me to borrow the Philosopher’s Stone a hundred years ago.”
"Is this Slytherin's time turner?" Kyle carefully took the pocket watch, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
When I saw it last year, this time turner looked like it was made of sand and would break into pieces when touched, but now it is intact and can be manipulated no matter how you hold it in your hand.
“Have you fixed it?” Kyle asked in surprise.
As expected of Nicoléme, such a broken antique can actually be repaired.
"not at all."
Nico shook his head, "I only repaired its shell, but the most important magic symbol of this time turner has been destroyed. It was a product of a thousand years ago, and it is very different from the current symbol. I Only a very small amount of information could be found, making it too difficult to repair.”
Although Nico was complaining, he was always smiling when he spoke, and he was obviously enjoying himself.
“Isn’t that why you invited me here?” Kyle returned the time turner to him.
"Yes, I need your help." Nico said, "I want to know what you experienced during the time back, especially the beginning and end. The more detailed the better.
“This helps me figure out the composition of those symbols.”
“No problem.” Kyle nodded.
