Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts Illustrated Book

Chapter 16 The Pigman Mask

In the early morning of the next day, Newt and David were sitting on the magic carpet and patrolling the sky above the forest.

Earlier, Newt was not sure if there were any thieves in the forest. In order to avoid alarming the enemy, he had been patrolling the forest on foot.

But after seeing the Chimera, Newt knew that there was no need to worry, because it might be an accident to run out of a few Auroras, but it could not be an accident to run out of a priceless Chimaera. .

This kind of prey is usually guarded by several people.

And running out now means that something happened to them, at least it has been exposed, and those timid guys must have evacuated.

So they also dare to patrol on the magic carpet, otherwise the efficiency of relying on their feet is too slow.

David leaned listlessly on Newt's back, twirling a wand idly in his hand.

At the beginning, he was still full of energy and enthusiasm, but when he looked at the forest below him, it was green at first glance, and it was still green at the next glance, without any change. After a long time, it would inevitably make people faint drowsy.

I don't know how long they flew. David only remembered that they flew over several lakes along the way, and there were more trees under them that needed to be surrounded by several people. The calls of birds and animals in the forest also changed from occasional to continuous, One after another.

Suddenly, Newt shook David and said in surprise, "Look, David, we should be there."

David shuddered, quickly regained consciousness, and looked in the direction Newt pointed.

There was an abrupt emptiness in the forest, which was particularly conspicuous against the tall surroundings.

Newt lowered the magic carpet, landed next to the clearing, and began to look around.

David followed Newt and circled around the clearing, which was surrounded by wooden stakes.

The thick felled timber was piled up around the clearing, forming a circle, and looking in through the gap, you could see the remains of some tents, which seemed to have been destroyed by fire.

"They should have been attacked, otherwise these tents would not be burned, they are not cheap." Newt's voice came from David's ear, and he had carefully checked the surrounding situation.

"Assault? The Ministry of Magic?" David said.

"Probably not, I haven't heard any news about this recently." Newt continued, "Okay, let's go in, there should be no danger, let's go see if there are any clues."

After speaking, he walked towards a gate made of logs, and David followed behind him.

They passed through the gate and came to the center of the clearing, where they saw many destroyed iron cages on the clearing surrounded by tents, and there were some dirty feathers and scales of magical animals on the ground.

But there is no figure of a magical animal. It may have escaped like a chimera, or it may have been taken away. Of course, the latter is more likely.

"David, come and take a look." Newt squatted on the ground and pulled with his hands for a while, digging up some ashes and weeds.

When David approached, he found that it was a piece of golden feather, about 2-3 cm long.

Newt stretched out two fingers, picked up the feather and put it in his palm, said angrily, "This is the Golden Snidget's feather!"

"Golden Snitch?" David was a little surprised. He didn't expect them to even catch this thing. The Golden Snitch is now a special-level protected animal, and it is the kind that is protected by a special person. I don't know how they caught it.

"It seems that they have made a lot of noise this time!" Newt continued to rummage on the ground, constantly finding the remaining feathers and scales of various magical animals. It seems that there are many magical animals sold here.

His face became a little ugly, and he couldn't help muttering worriedly: "I don't know who is attacking this camp? I haven't heard of any activities by the Ministry of Magic recently! I don't know if these animals were rescued or dragged away again." sold elsewhere."

While Newt was rummaging, David was not idle. He ran to the burnt tent to see if there were any remaining clues.

Using his wand, he removed some of the larger debris, revealing what lay beneath, most of which had been burned out of shape by the flames and lost their original shape.

Suddenly, David saw that under a large piece of wood, there seemed to be something that hadn't been burned, and a corner was slightly exposed, and a pattern was still painted on it.

After removing the wood, David picked it up and found that it was a mask, which was held coldly in his hand, with a piggie painted on it, the one that was roasted by Tina in front.

I don't know what material this mask is made of, but it hasn't deformed at all.

David observed for a while, and walked to Newt's side with the mask. He was still looking for traces of magical animals on the ground.

"Grandpa, what is this?" David said, holding the mask in front of Newt.

Newt took the mask, glanced at it and said: "This is the mask worn by the R organization. When they are active, some people are afraid that others will find out their true identity, so they always wear such a special mask. Draw pictures of magical animals according to their own preferences."

After speaking, Newt handed the mask to David again: "You can keep this one."

David nodded and put it in the bag. This mask might be useful in the future.

After a long time, the sun was already high in the sky, and David and Newt had searched all around the open space. Even the iron cages were moved aside by Newt, and the ground below was searched again. .

Other than the mask David found and some remnants of fantastical animals, nothing else was found.

But finding this mask is not bad, at least it can prove that the R organization has indeed been active in this area.

At this time, David was resting on the piled wood around him. He was exhausted from rummaging for several hours, and his stomach began to growl, complaining to him.

In the morning, Newt chased him too fast, so he ate a few slices of bread, and was dragged onto the magic carpet by Newt, and that bit of food had already been digested.

Seeing that Newt was still looking around, David hurriedly said, "Grandpa, it's getting late, why don't we go back to eat first!"

"Okay, we'll go back right away." After Newt finished speaking, he quickly checked again before taking David's hand and using Apparition to return home.

At home, Tina has already placed delicious food on the dining table, which is still steaming.

"How? Did you find it?" Tina asked.

After Newt took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, he said, "I found it. They were attacked by another group of people. It seems that the battle was not small."

He walked to the dining table while talking, "I'll go to the Ministry of Magic again in the afternoon to report the situation here, and ask them if they have any news."

After speaking, Newt reached out to grab the knife and fork on the table and start eating.

"Huh?" Tina next to her snorted and looked at Newt coldly.

"Ahem, I didn't pay attention, I didn't pay attention." Newt hurriedly got up and walked towards the kitchen.

David came out of the kitchen wiping his hands and glanced at Newt on the way.

what?Grandpa, you still want to eat without washing your hands under grandma's nose!Tina is an old clean freak.

　Please recommend tickets, please collect, thank you, I hope you will enjoy watching.
