Chapter 116 Visit

Newt Scamander and his family live in seclusion on a hillside in Dorset, southern England.

Surrounded by green and soft grass, standing at the door, you can see the Muggle village in the distance.

Of course, the same spell as Hogwarts is cast here. To a Muggle, the mountain looked like nothing but bare rocks.

Steven opened the door with a familiarity, and faced a winding garden path.

A group of fairies, accompanied by butterflies, flew between the bowl-sized flowers, which was very dreamy.

There was a rustling sound among the grass blades, and a brown cat nugget poked its head out. It stared at Vader warily, its big ears twitching slightly.

Then comes the second cat nives, who are clever by nature and can detect people with bad moral character.

"Hi, Hobby, Millie." Steven knelt down and said cheerfully: "Long time no see, did you miss me?"

When Hobi saw him, he had already relaxed his guard, climbed on Steven's body, and made a coquettish sound like a baby.

Another cat nugget approached Vader, reservedly sharpened its claws on his pants, and then climbed up his legs. Vader quickly picked it up.

"Millie likes you very much." Steven looked very happy: "They are Mr. Scamander's pets, and there is another one named Moller who doesn't like to go out."

The two walked along the gravel path to the yard, and saw Newt Scamander already at the foot of the steps, with a cat with pointed ears lying lazily at his feet.

Newt Scamander is ninety-five years old.

He is not young and shy like in the movie. Time has given him gray hair and less obvious wrinkles. But it didn't change some of his innocent and serious qualities.

His eyes were still clear, and he turned his body slightly sideways, as if he was unconsciously avoiding other people's eyes, and seemed a little reserved.

Even though the two people in front of him were far inferior to Newt Scamander in terms of age, social status or magical ability, he did not show any condescension.

Like a child who is afraid of harm and easily harmed by evil.

"Good morning, Steven." Newt looked at Vader cautiously and said, "Welcome, Mr. Vader Gray."

Vader bowed and said, "Please call me Vader. I have always admired you. I'm causing you trouble by coming here rashly."

"No." Newt said softly: "I am very happy that there are outstanding young wizards who are willing to learn about these things."

A boy with brown curly hair came out from behind Newt and looked at Vader with a bright smile: "Hi! I heard that the Book of Friends was your invention?"

"Be polite, Rolf," Newt said gently.

Obviously, he was not a majestic grandfather in his grandson's mind. Rolf made a secret face and held out his hand.

"Hello, I'm Rolf - Rolf Scamander."

The boy grinned and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Wade Gray, the inventor of the Book of Friends."

"Hello." Wade also shook hands with him.

"Do you want to visit my grandfather's animal sanctuary? Come with me, I will be your guide!"

Rolf pulled Vader forward very enthusiastically, and Newt and Steven followed behind with smiles.

"I heard that you went to the United States before?" Steven asked.

"Yes, to meet an old friend." Newt sighed and said, "About seventy years ago, I sent it to the United States. I didn't expect that now, I would have to send it away from this world again."

When Steven heard this, he knew that the old friend he was talking about was a thunderbird, and said in surprise: "I remember that the life span of thunderbirds should be very long?"

"In order to protect its children, it was too seriously injured and did not wait for treatment." Newt said sadly: "You know, they can summon lightning and storms, so they are often targeted by poachers."

Steven said angrily: "Damn poachers! I have always dreamed of seeing the Thunderbird with my own eyes, and how dare they hurt it!"

"Then your dream can come true today."

Newt forced a smile: "After Frank died, its child lost its shelter. In order to protect it, I brought it back."

Rolf didn't pay any attention to what his grandfather was saying to Steven. He excitedly said to Wade:

"The Book of Friends is such an amazing invention! Everyone in our family has one. My grandmother has the most, she has three!"

"I have one too! One with my grandfather, one with my grandmother, one with my father and one with my mother, and one with my uncle... Chatting on paper is more interesting than face to face!"

"There's just one thing! The information is stored for too short a time! Sometimes I wake up after an afternoon nap and miss my mother's message. As a result, she complains - ah, I have to enter from here!"

He put a brown suitcase on the ground and opened it, then got in first, turning back and waving to Wade when only his upper body was outside.

Then the whole figure disappeared as if it had been eaten by a box.

Vader had seen this scene in a movie in his previous life, smiled upon seeing it, and then followed him in.

The entrance to the suitcase is considered narrow, but the space inside is magically expanded like a small world in your pocket.

Going down the stairs, there was a small house like a utility room. There were many things in it, many of which seemed to be old, and Wade didn't have time to take a closer look.

"Come on!"

Rolf shouted in front and opened the wooden door in the room that didn't look very solid.

"Ka--"

The wooden door joint made a hoarse groan, and the cool water vapor and the smell of animals came over.

A vast world suddenly appeared in front of him with an impactful posture.

Wade couldn't help holding his breath, and his heart was beating like a drum.

Experiencing all this in person and being in this magical space created by magic is completely different from the feeling of seeing the picture on the movie screen.

For a moment, he felt that his breath was taken away.

Magic... What a wonderful power...

Rolf has been playing here since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to it, and he can't understand Wade's shock. Seeing him standing there, he pulled his arm to the side.

"Come this way, I'll take you to see the new residents here!"

The two didn't walk far before a golden desert appeared in front of them, and there were several huge stone pillars in the center.

In the depression of the stone pillar, a baby bird with three pairs of wings and a slender tail lay. It fell asleep with its eyes closed, its feathers swaying gently in the breeze.

Rolf made a gesture to silence it, tiptoed over with Wade, and then motioned for him to gently extend his finger like he did.
