Chapter 859: Go to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary
Chapter 859 Go to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary again
After a long wait, the magic contract finally met the conditions for taking effect, emitting a burst of brilliant silver-white light, and the originally blurry pattern became much clearer.
Newt looked at the parchment with some emotion.
"From now on, even if someone sees Norbert, they won't cause you any trouble."
To be honest, he was actually a little envious.
Although everyone now knows that Newt Scamander is the wizarding world's leading expert on magical animals, he has never actually obtained a legal dragon-raising certificate.
Perhaps it was because his reputation was so famous when he was young that the people in the Fire Dragon Sanctuary did not dare to give him such a thing.
As for the Hungarian Horntail in his box, it's just the tacit approval of the Fire Dragon Sanctuary... I don't agree, but I won't check. You can keep it as you should, and everyone understands it tacitly.
In this way, even if the Hungarian Horntails came out one day and had fun in the sky over London, they would be able to find an excuse to get past them.
After all, this is Newt, so this kind of worry is still necessary.
So strictly speaking, Newt is actually illegal to keep a dragon, and he can only keep it in a box.
Not like Kyle.
It can be said that from now on, even if Kyle builds a fence in front of his house, he can directly release the fire dragon.
Even if it was seen by Muggles, it was still a matter of the Reversal of Incident Team, and he could not be punished for illegally raising dragons.
Of course, it's okay to just keep it, but it won't work if you let the fire dragon hurt people.
"Are we going to Romania now?" Kyle couldn't help but ask... In addition to the fire dragon eggs, he also had a large sum of galleons waiting to be recovered.
"Don't worry, we have to wait for someone else." Newt said.
"Waiting for someone? Who?"
"Of course...oh, he's already here." Newt said looking out the window.
Kyle turned his head subconsciously.
"Professor Dumbledore?"
He never expected that Dumbledore, who seemed to have disappeared from the world these days, would actually appear here.
Dumbledore opened the door and walked in.
Kyle looked at him and always felt something was different, like he was a different person.
The previous Dumbledore always looked calm and collected... You could tell at a glance that he was a standard powerful old wizard and a reliable headmaster of Hogwarts.
But now he looks much more relaxed, and even the robe on his body has been changed to a more comfortable and leisurely style. If he has a tea cup in his hand, he looks like a retired old man.
If someone who didn't know him met him, they probably wouldn't associate him with the famous Hogwarts principal at all.
"Newt, Kyle, long time no see." He greeted with a smile, sat down on his own, and picked up a grapefruit biscuit from the plate and put it into his mouth.
This sense of relaxation completely overturned Kyle's impression of Dumbledore.
So is this Dumbledore who unties his knot?
"It tastes good." Dumbledore looked around, "Where's Tina?"
"Going to Ilvermorny," Newt said. "Are you... really okay?"
He also felt that something was wrong with the Dumbledore in front of him...I couldn't say that it was wrong, mainly because it was a bit different from the image in his mind.
"Of course there is no problem." Dumbledore said with a smile, "It's just that Ariana said that I stretched myself too tight and should relax properly."
"I think what she said makes sense." Dumbledore took another cookie, "I am over a hundred years old, and it is time to enjoy my retirement life."
Ariana...that's no problem.
Kyle muttered in his mind.
He felt that even if Ariana said that pink Hogwarts looked better, Dumbledore would be able to run over and paint the walls with paint in hand the next day...
Maybe you don’t have to wait until the next day.
"So the person we are waiting for is Professor Dumbledore?" Kyle turned to look at Newt and asked.
"If you want to go to Romania with you, it's really me." Before Newt could speak, Dumbledore nodded, "Didn't you say you would come to Newt before? Calculate the time, your contract It should take effect soon, so I wrote him a letter in advance and asked him to notify me before going to Romania. "
"You want to go too? Is this really necessary?" Kyle looked at the two people sitting next to him, somewhat confused.
He just went to get two dragon eggs, but why did he mobilize an army like this? The last time Dumbledore and Newt Scamander teamed up, it was to deal with Grindelwald.
"Ariana thought I should go out and complete my graduation plan to travel around the world," Dumbledore said.
"Although it's a bit inappropriate at this time, I think it's okay to make Romania the first stop."
Well, it’s Ariana again.
Kyle shut up, no problem.
"Shall we leave now?" Kyle raised his head and glanced out the window.
It's not even noon yet, and if all goes well, they should be back before evening.
"If you are ready, then set off," said Dumbledore.
Several people stood up and came to the door.
"I'll leave the house to you, Dobby," Newt said, looking at the house elf who followed him.
"Don't worry, sir." Dobby straightened his back.
"I miss you so much." Newt looked at Dumbledore again, "I remember the last time I worked with you, Professor, was fifty years ago."
"Fifty-seven years ago to be precise." Dumbledore smiled, "The two mist butterfly flies that escaped from your box caused a lot of trouble for Columbia."
The Misty Chrysalis looks like a blue butterfly the size of a fist. However, this insect has its own mist spell when flying, and it also changes color according to the surrounding environment. It usually only lives in primeval forests.
But it would be different if the insect appeared in the city.
Imagine how wonderful Muggles' expressions were when they saw a clearly visible, floating and moving colored fog on the street, especially more than fifty years ago.
At that time, in order to clear the memories of those Muggles, the Colombian Ministry of Magic worked overtime day and night for a week, and their resentment was greater than that of Obscurus.
"Yes, it's one, only one escaped." Newt corrected hesitantly: "And it escaped after feeling the breath of the surrounding female butterfly flies."
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
This is the amazing thing about Newt. He never takes the initiative to release the magical animals in his box, but they always run out for various reasons.
So there's a reason why he's not popular.
When Newt decided to retire, it took a lot of effort from Dumbledore to get the then Minister of Magic to allow him to settle in Dorset.
"Okay, let's go quickly." Dumbledore said, he picked up a branch and made it into a door key.
Kyle and Newt walked over and held the branches.
"Get ready, let's go..."
As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the three of them were pulled away by a sudden suction force and disappeared.
In a moment of spinning, Kyle quickly fell to the ground again.
"who."
There were shouts in the ears, it was a few strong dragon keepers, holding wands to surround the three of them.
Until the next second... "Mr. Scamander!"
"Headmaster Dumbledore!"
The leading dragon keeper quickly put down his wand, "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you two just now."
"It's okay, I should have told you guys in advance." Newt shook his head and asked, "Is Droles here? I have something to do with him."
"Yes, the captain is in the incubation room, observing a nest of dragon eggs that are about to hatch." The dragon breeder said, "Please follow me, he will be very happy to see you two."
This person subconsciously ignored Kyle, but this is normal.
Although Kyle came once, it was a long time ago, and it was Charlie who was responsible for receiving him at that time.
Now that Charlie has resigned and returned to England, these people will naturally not be the assistant who followed Newt.
But Kyle didn't care either. What he cared about was what the man just said.
In the incubation room, the dragon egg is about to break out of its shell... It seems that he came at the right time.
The dragon keeper took them through twists and turns in the reserve and passed at least three checkpoints before stopping in front of a huge cave.
From a long distance away, Kyle felt a wave of heat coming towards his face, and now it felt even more like he was standing in the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt.
"This is the incubation room." Newt explained: "All fire dragons that hatch dragon eggs will be moved here to avoid being targeted by people with malicious intentions."
"That's right." The dragon keeper then noticed Kyle's presence and said, "In addition, moving the dragon eggs here can prevent them from being accidentally trampled by other fire dragons. Those big guys are not good-tempered. , there were fights almost every day.”
"Are there many dragon eggs here?" Kyle asked curiously.
The dragon breeder hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't want to tell Kyle this, until he glanced at Dumbledore and Newt again, and then said: "There are only two nests of dragon eggs here. Originally there were three nests, but the rest The Hungarian Horntail is so aggressive that we really don’t know how to move it.”
"There's no need to move." Newt smiled, "I don't think there will be any trouble with the dragon trying to find the Hungarian Horntail."
"The captain said so too."
While several people were talking, there was an increasingly clear sound of footsteps in the cave, and soon, a person walked out of it.
"team leader!"
"Well, thank you for your hard work. You can go ahead and do your work. Just leave this to me." Drolls said.
He was thinner than Kyle expected, and he didn't look as strong as Charlie, but the scars on his body were no less than his, especially the long scar on the left side of his face, which made him look fierce.
"It's nice to meet you two," Drolls said, "Mr. Scamander, Mr. Dumbledore, and...I guess you must be Kyle. You have grown a lot taller than in previous years."
"You remember me?" Kyle asked.
"I remember everyone who helped the Fire Dragon Sanctuary, including you," Droles said.
Then he looked at Newt and Dumbledore again and put away his smile. "Please forgive me for being rude. What's the matter with your sudden visit to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary? As far as I know, Britain seems to be in the midst of a huge crisis." Be in trouble.
"If you are here to seek help from the Fire Dragon Sanctuary, I must apologize in advance."
"No, Drolls, you misunderstood." Dumbledore said seriously: "Don't worry, we will solve these troubles ourselves and will not affect the Fire Dragon Sanctuary."
"I'm sorry, Headmaster Dumbledore," Drolls said, "I just don't want the dragon to become a tool of war."
"I also don't want to see the fire dragon appear on the battlefield." Dumbledore said with deep agreement.
He was glad that the fire dragons had been protected. There were dozens of fire dragons and a large number of dragon raisers. Even Voldemort did not want to provoke this place easily. Otherwise, with his move to recruit giants, he would never let go of a war like this with fire dragons. Machine.
"In this case, let's change places. This is really not a good choice for chatting." Droles wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he often works in such a high temperature environment, it does not mean that he likes to work in this kind of place. chat.
He took the three of them to an office not far away... It was said to be an office, but it was actually a house built with stones, but it didn't leak.
Droles walked in and took a big gulp of water. Then he turned around and asked, "What do you two want when you come here this time?"
"It's nothing." Newt said, turning around and pushing Kyle forward, "The main thing is that he has this bill for the Fire Dragon Sanctuary."
"Bill?" Drolls asked doubtfully.
He didn't remember anyone the Fire Dragon Sanctuary owed money to.
If someone else said this to him, he would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word of nonsense to the other person, but the person who said this was Newt Scamander, which was different...
As the most important guest and partner of the Fire Dragon Sanctuary, Newt has contributed as much to this place as anyone else, and they also respect each other very much.
Not to mention that Principal Dumbledore is also here.
So even though he thought it was impossible, Droles still looked at Kyle seriously and said, "Can you show me?"
"Of course." Kyle nodded, took out a piece of parchment and handed it over.
The first time he saw the parchment, Droles was stunned.
This is true. He is too familiar with the magic contract above. It is unique to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary, and the signature...
Birdman Strick, the first director of the reserve.
Droles hurriedly took the parchment in his hand and read it carefully, his expression constantly changing.
From doubt, to shock, to disbelief...
"Is this... a donation certificate?" He raised his head suddenly, his voice trembling slightly, "Merlin's Beard, are you the mysterious sponsor?"
He shook his head again, "No, no, the age doesn't match. The reserve received this donation a hundred years ago, but you are less than twenty years old now. If I guess correctly, this should be you It’s something from the previous generation in my family.”
"Is there any problem?" Kyle asked, not denying this. Anyway, even if he explained, Drolls probably wouldn't believe it.
"Of course not." Droles shook his head and said seriously: "In fact, we have been looking for this person. His help to the reserve is immeasurable. But I am strange, why is there only Bo Mr. Deman's signature."
"Maybe it was the custom at the time." Kyle said, "Magic contracts can't be faked anyway, right?"
This was naturally not a habit, but a request from Kyle. It was 1899, so he couldn't sign his name.
Although Birdman didn't understand his request at the time, since Kyle didn't care, he naturally didn't care either as he wanted to get the donation quickly.
"That's true." Drolls returned the parchment to Kyle, "If I guess correctly, you are here to take away the benefits you deserve."
"That's right." Kyle nodded, "Can I?"
"Of course it is possible." Drolls suddenly laughed, "We have been waiting for nearly a hundred years, but because no one has come to claim it, the money is now deposited in Gringotts' vault. inside."
"How many are there in total?" Kyle asked curiously.
"Six thousand three hundred and fifty galleons," Drolls said.
Kyle raised his eyebrows. It seemed that after the development of the Fire Dragon Sanctuary, his income also increased.
Six thousand Gallons and more?
Of course there is a lot. Even the Director of the Ministry of Magic Office would have to save all his salary for six years.
But from another aspect, this amount of money is really not that much. For example, purchasing power, which was three thousand Galleons a hundred years ago, would be worth ten or twenty thousand galleons now.
Of course, this cannot be said for Kyle. Overall, he must have earned it.
Even Dumbledore looked at him with some eyebrows. He was involved in everything.
Good guy, three thousand galleons doubled in the blink of an eye. This money came faster than robbing Gringotts. Why didn't he think of it at the beginning?
What, amnesia?
Okay, that's okay.
