Chapter 42 Fantastic Beasts Are Here
Newt shook his head helplessly and grabbed Sniff, who returned to him.
"I'm sorry, Grete. There's no harm in sniffing it. I'll let it return the thing to you."
But it was obvious that Xiu Xiu was unwilling. One of his paws was tightly covering the pocket on his belly.
Pretending to be fierce, it raised its other paw and opened its flat pink-yellow mouth, fully venting its anger at being imprisoned by Newt.
But it was obvious that Newt had known its temperament for decades.
Ignoring its innocent eyes, in front of Gretel, he grabbed its feet and shook it upside down.
With the clatter of gold and silver treasures colliding, a pile of treasure mixed with various glittering objects appeared on the ground in front of Newt.
Gold Galleons, Silver Siko, but unfortunately I didn’t see Copper Nut. It seems that Xiu Xiu doesn’t like copper coins without dazzling light.
In addition to cash, there were also various gems and jewelry. Gretel even saw many cut and shiny glass ornaments.
It wasn't until the things on the ground were about to be buried up to Gretel's ankles that Newt emptied Sniff's pockets.
"Tina, Tina, I found your necklace."
Newt looked extremely excited. It was his and Tina's first anniversary gift for their tenth wedding anniversary.
As the first gift given by the straight man, Tina cherished it very much.
If there were no important guests to meet, she would not be willing to take the necklace out of the jewelry box.
Who would have thought that once you take a trip to America, you will disappear.
Although she said she was fine, Newt still noticed carefully, and she would look at the jewelry box from time to time.
Who would have thought that this little thing, Xiu Xiu, was secretly hidden.
Tina heard the sound and rushed over, taking Xiu Xiu away for interrogation.
She asked herself that she usually took good care of this little guy, but she was still being repaid with revenge.
Looking at the pile of physical evidence in front of him, Newt felt a little embarrassed.
In order to express his apology, he casually grabbed a handful of Galleons and stuffed them into Gretel's hands.
"It's best to put all the shiny things into a container with the Traceless Stretch Charm cast on it, otherwise you have to be careful not to let Sniff get close to you.
Come on, let me show you magical beasts.
If I remember correctly, my first year at Hogwarts should have read the book I wrote, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. "
It can be heard that Newt's tone is very proud. In the wizarding world, no matter which state he is in, when it comes to magical creatures, he is the living master.
What Newt is proud of is not that he has published a book, but that with his own efforts and persistence, the current situation of many magical creatures has indeed improved a lot.
"The illustrations in the textbook are all drawn by me one stroke at a time. Today I will show you the real thing."
Looking inside from the open box, we can see a narrow ladder that doesn't look very sturdy.
Even if a little wizard like Gretel walked up, he could hear its overwhelmed creaking sound.
"Be careful, no matter what you see, don't be reckless."
Newt was waiting for Gretel at the bottom of the ladder, his face serious.
Gretel knew it. After all, it was said in popular science books that most magical creatures did not like wizards.
If a magical creature becomes stressed due to panic, you will only be the unlucky one.
Grete had never thought that the Seamless Stretching Spell could be so powerful. From the outside, it looked like a small suitcase, no more than ten inches tall.
The interior space is like an independent world.
Grasslands, rainforests, swamps, glaciers, deserts...
All geographical environments that Grete can think of exist in this space.
There is even a magic-simulated sun in the sky, providing sunlight for this not-so-small ecosystem.
The distant mountain top at the end of the sight was accompanied by lightning and thunder.
"Those are thunderbirds. They are native to North America. The Ministry of Magic's danger level is XXXX. However, they are not in a good mood these days. You may not have the chance to observe them closely."
Gretel had seen the image of a thunderbird in a textbook. It was very majestic. The wingspan of an adult thunderbird could reach ten meters.
It has six wings and one tail, and its body is blue, with only its belly covered in pure white feathers.
Thunderbird nerves are also the wand core material favored by ancient wizards. It is similar to the phoenix feather wand core, which can enhance the wizard's spells, but is easier to control than the phoenix feather wand.
Because it was so easy to use, the Thunderbird was once on the verge of extinction.
It wasn't until Newt initiated protection that the thunderbird slowly reappeared in nature.
The Bowtruckle is probably the closest magical creature to Newt besides the Niffler.
Even though they are shy by nature, when they saw Newt and his people coming over, the Bowtruckles came over excitedly.
There were also a few brave ones that climbed up along his trousers.
Their age is easy to tell. The younger they are, the crisper and tender their color is.
The Bowtruckle's limbs are very slender and look like twigs, with two leaves on top of their heads, which should be their hair.
What amused Grete the most was that a little bowtruckle that looked like it had just been born had most likely mistakenly recognized the wrong person and climbed on top of him.
Ignoring the surprised elders on the ground, he climbed up to Gretel's shoulders, only to realize that he had found the wrong person.
In shock, it was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Grete caught it keenly and carefully put it back on the ground.
Until Grete and Newt left, it hid behind a tree stump, exploring its two tender green leaves, carefully looking at the stranger.
Hippogriffs are classified as extremely dangerous magical creatures by the Ministry of Magic.
There was actually a large group of people in Newt's space. Under Newt's guidance, Gretel and this seemingly uneasy creature got along quite well.
If he and Newt were not in a hurry to continue admiring other magical animals, the Hippogriff would have carried Gretel on his back and taken him on a nice flight.
Faced with Newt's obstruction, the winged beast was a little dissatisfied, stamping its feet and snoring.
Fortunately, Newt comforted them and said that Gretel would live for a long time, and now he had to meet other new friends. There would be many opportunities in the future, so they would give up.
The poisonous horned beasts that looked particularly ferocious turned out to be particularly friendly. Faced with Gretel's feeding, they ran into the pool and performed their specialty savage charge on Gretel.
The territory where the Cystic Leopard and the Billywig were located was separated.
"They are dangerous, just look at them from a distance."
Birds and snakes kept in cups, colorful curled-winged devils, evil birds with sweet sounds that can make people lose their minds after listening to them for a long time...
Grete felt as if he had arrived at the World Expo of Exotic and Bizarre Animals, and his eyes couldn't even see enough.
Newt is worthy of being a master of magical beasts recorded in history textbooks. Countless creatures are classified as extremely dangerous by the Ministry of Magic.
In front of him, everyone is gentle and like a good baby. Even when facing a stranger like Grete, the worst attitude they can take is to snort a few times or leave Grete with his back. No one shows any desire to attack. .
"Ahead is the home of the invisible beasts. According to the degree of danger, they should be near the entrance.
But they prefer quiet, so they chose this place. "
There are not many invisible beasts, only four or five out of a dozen. The textbook says they look like monkeys.
But Grete felt that they were like pure white elves, leaning silently on the tree stump, filling their mouths with nuts or fruits from time to time.
Just like what Newt introduced, they are very humane. Even the invisible beasts that look very old look at them like old people enjoying their old age.
There are stories written in his eyes.
After Newt's introduction, they stood up slowly, and even when they came to Gretel, they made a standard salute, and then extended their hands to Gretel.
