Chapter 203 Dinner

Wo Bu Geng Xin
Luke and Alice's confrontation didn't last long.
In other words, what should be tested between two people has already been tested.Luke has initial trust in Alice, otherwise he would not let himself appear in front of the other party.
But Luke still asked the question that he cared about.
"I wonder how you guys would react if that Voldebat did kill me?"
Luke asked this with a smile.But Dumbledore often sighed when he heard this question.
He still couldn't forget the Voldebat.
Of course Luke couldn't forget that damned Voldebat!
Damn that was the first time Luke faced life and death.Do you really think that you are not panic at all if you are well prepared?
No matter how fast the preparations are, the horror between life and death will not be less.Luke is such a life-saving person, how could he not be worried at all.
"No, you should have seen that giant monster." Alice said with a reserved smile, "As long as it is there, you will never have any accidents that day."
Luke nodded when he heard the words, and then said: "Is this your special technology?"
Enlighten the troll?How idle this person is.
However, the level of danger of a wise giant monster is not comparable to that of ordinary magical animals.Not even Voldebats and Manticores are more dangerous than this thing.
After all, the trolls themselves are very powerful and defensive, and what limits them is their ridiculously low IQ.But now, IQ is no longer the troll's disadvantage, it has even become the troll's advantage, so with the number and strength of the trolls, then this is a naturally powerful army.
It is such a painful idea, if it can come true, it is a genius idea.
"It cannot be said that it is our special technology."
Alice said frankly to Luke: "Strictly speaking, this should be the research result of Lord Slytherin."
As soon as these words came out, Luke was not too surprised.If there is anyone in the entire wizarding world who has the ability to study this kind of thing, then Slytherin is probably the only one.
But that was hundreds of years ago.
"What are the limitations of this technology?"
If this technology is not restricted, then the wizarding world would have long been dominated by the Gunter family.What about the Ministry of Magic?
"Limited by the troll itself."
Alice said frankly.
Then Luke knew that there might be no room for improvement in this technology.If there is a need for improvement in the use of a certain magic, then there is still hope.But if there is a requirement for the transformation object, then it will be over.
Well, I can't say so absolutely, but there is a high probability that there is no room for improvement.
"Only those giant monsters that naturally have a certain IQ advantage can not explode after undergoing transformation."
Saying that, Alice made a 'bloom' gesture.
It probably means that the head is blooming.
Dumbledore looked at the little girl in front of him with a complicated expression.To be honest, if the little girl just said that there is no limit, then he really has to think about how he should treat Luke and the 'inheritance' he received.
Luke also nodded, and did not continue to ask further questions.After all, it is enough to mention this technology. If there are any details, it is impossible to reveal them in front of Dumbledore.
This is not necessarily the ability of the organization to watch the house, but it is definitely a sign.
This kind of thing should be kept secret after all.
This problem has stayed at a shallow level, without going too deep.But for Luke and Alice, it was already an exchange of attitudes.
I haven't forgotten what you set me up with.
The whole organization is yours, why should you argue with us?
Dumbledore watched the performance of the two men and shook his head silently.
Although he understands.But if you don't like it, you don't like it.There is something in such words.
........................
"Grandpa, what are you doing at the beach?"
Rove looked at the beach in front of him a little strangely, his nose twitched, and his face changed.
"It smells like blood, Grandpa." He paused and said seriously, "Human blood."
After Newt heard this, his expression was a little strange.He pressed his hat, then stepped on the water and walked towards the rocky beach not far ahead.
Rove frowned and looked at Newt's back, and finally followed, but he had already taken out his wand in his hand.
Newt walked forward with his head down.
Then he stopped suddenly.
Through the reflection of the water, he saw the shadow of the mermaid beside him.
"Newt, can I still trust you?"
Heidi looked at Newt's face that was much older than he remembered on the water curtain in front of her, and asked with some confusion.
"You can always trust me, Heidi."
Newt's voice was flat, but firm.
Rove just looked around vigilantly.With this look on my grandfather's face, there is a high probability that the other party is not human.As for the magical beasts... for what reason did they kill?
Rove hates poachers.But he will not easily trust a magical animal that has killed people.
That is irresponsible to oneself.
"I don't know what you've been through. But Heidi, in a philistine way, there is no conflict of interest between the two of us."
"You should trust me."
Reflections in sea water dissipate.The sound of the waves is getting louder.Rove clenched his wand tightly in his hand, and his expression became more and more vigilant.His other hand was on Newt's sleeve.Ready to take Newt out of here first.
Grandpa is getting old, and although he is still very strong, some risks can be avoided after all.
The sound of the waves suddenly subsided.
On the reef not far ahead, at some point, a mermaid appeared.
Long sea blue hair, a pretty face, and... a natural sense of charm.
Rove stared at him closely at the first moment.There was a trace of obsession in his eyes.
so beautiful……
Rove subconsciously took a step forward.But the next step was under his own control.
There was a struggling expression on his face, and he froze in place, caught in the entanglement of himself.
Newt looked at his struggling grandson with a flash of satisfaction in his eyes.To be able to do this to such an extent, he is already quite outstanding.Newt has never been afraid to acknowledge the goodness of his grandson.Compared with his son, he thinks that the person who can inherit his career better is his grandson.
Raising the wand in his hand, he knocked on Rove's head.
Rove suddenly came to his senses, and his footing was unstable. If Newt hadn't supported him behind him, he would have fallen into the water.
"Use the awakening spell, I taught you when dealing with Veela. Maintain it at all times."
Newt exhorted his grandson.
Rove nodded, restraining his desire to look over there, the wand shimmered with blue light, and pressed it against his temple.
Then he dared to look over there.
"Your grandson? It's less interesting than you were back then."
Heidi glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Rove, shook her head and said.
The tone is old-fashioned, like an elder, which is in stark contrast to her appearance.
"No, much better than me back then." Newt said with a smile, "Your charm ability has improved a lot. If it was me who met for the first time back then, it might not be better than him."
Heidi said nothing.
"I was hunted down and poisoned. I suspect that some of my followers have betrayed me. There are also people in the royal family who want me to die. I need you to help me find a way to detoxify."
Heidi's tone was so natural that it made people feel a little uncomfortable.
But Newt didn't say anything. He was very aware of Heidi's identity and the environment in which she grew up. It was only normal to speak in such a tone.And such a tone, there is no malicious expression.
"No problem, I will try my best to help you, we are friends."
Newt said with a smile.
When hearing the word 'friend', Heidi was silent for a moment, looking at the smile on Newt's face, she said seriously: "Thank you."
Newt shook his head.
"Let's leave first. You also need a place to stay." Newt pointed to Heidi, "You haven't had a good rest for many days."
Heidi's face is indeed beautiful, even if she looks very tired and tired now, it is just another type of beauty.
"fair enough."
A tangled look flashed across Heidi's face, but in the next moment, it turned into a decisive expression.
........................
In the evening, Luke put on more formal clothes with a big bag in his hand.Although the expression is calm and composed, in a sense, looking at this attire shows that Luke attaches great importance to it.
Dumbledore was still dressed in casual clothes, looked at the big and small bags in Luke's hands, and said in a strange tone: "You must have put a lot of thought into this."
Luke smiled: "No way, I just found something casually."
Dumbledore sorted out his mood, and then stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Newt!"
"Come here!" Newt's panicked voice came from the door.Obviously he seemed to be preparing for something, but he was still not ready.
But soon, footsteps sounded, approaching quickly, and the door was opened.
"Hi, Dumbledore, long time no see."
When Newt saw Dumbledore, he subconsciously stretched out his hand.Dumbledore gave him a big hug anyway.
"long time no see."
Luke watched the warm embrace of the two old men not far away, and the trace of reserve on his face also restrained.
If Newt still had a little halo in his mind before seeing Newt.So now, he really doesn't feel anything.
The goodwill and sense of distance brought about by the previous life melted away almost instantly.
As for why Luke has no sense of distance from Harry, or even Dumbledore, after all, Harry was just a child when he watched the movie, and there is no sense of distance in the follow-up.But Newt is different, the positioning of the protagonists of the two films is different from the beginning.
So he likes Newt more, and he has a sense of distance from an idol.
However, now, after all, it is back to normal.
Newt also noticed Luke on the side.
After breaking free from Dumbledore's embrace, he walked towards Luke with a smile, and gave Luke a deep hand.
"Hello, Mr. Gunter, I have heard of you for a long time."
Luke looked at the restrained smile on Newt's face, and said with a hearty smile: "Professor Scamander, I'm your fan. Your "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is really wonderful. It is the most Good Fantastic Beasts textbook."
This can be said to be quite a major compliment.After all, although Luke is temporarily unknown in the field of magical animal research, his identity means that what he says has a certain weight.
Newt also had a more relaxed smile on his face.
On the other side, Rove and Dumbledore embraced warmly, and then said with a smile, "Long time no see, Professor Dumbledore."
"Long time no see, Rove, last time I saw you, you were still a child."
Dumbledore patted him on the shoulder.And Rove smiled, and then looked at Luke on the other side.
"That is……"
"Luke Gunter, a very nice kid, I think the two of you should be able to get along well."
Rove smiled, but didn't respond.Obviously not very cold about this matter.
However, due to the face of the elders, the contact between these two people may have to be carried out.
Luke chatted with Newt for a while, and walked to the door with Newt.
Luke and Rove looked at each other, and Luke stretched out his hand first: "Luke Gaunt. A fan of magical animal research."
Rove held Luke's hand, with a smile on his face: "Rove Scamander, a trainee magical animal researcher."
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at Newt.Newt shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, let's go in first, we've already prepared the meal."
Newt said enthusiastically.
Luke and Rove let go of their hands.Looking at each other, they smiled at each other.
After Luke and the others walked in the door, both Dumbledore and Luke were stunned.
In their line of sight, a little girl appeared. The girl has long sea blue hair. Most importantly, she has a very familiar feeling on her body.
They had just experienced this feeling from that mermaid.
Although now they can't see through the disguise on this girl right away.But the girl's aura is still hard to ignore.
"Oh, let me introduce you, this is Heidi, the granddaughter of a friend of mine. Recently, that friend has something to do, so I will take care of her these days."
Luke glanced at Newt, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He nudged Dumbledore with his own elbow.
"I can't see it either. But...it should be."
Dumbledore's voice rang in Luke's ear.
Luke frowned, and after a while, he spoke to Heidi over there.
"Do you need an antidote? I might be able to get it from the Skye family."
Then, Heidi's face changed.
In other words, what should be tested between two people has already been tested.Luke has initial trust in Alice, otherwise he would not let himself appear in front of the other party.
But Luke still asked the question that he cared about.
"I wonder how you guys would react if that Voldebat did kill me?"

He still couldn't forget the Voldebat.
Of course Luke couldn't forget that damned Voldebat!
