Chapter 164 Newt: I Am Not Dumbledore's Favorite Student

Chapter 164 Newt: I am not Dumbledore's favorite student!

Although Cyrus entrusted the task of collecting magical animals to Lucius, it was not so easy for Lucius to get a batch of magical animals.

It was not that he was not good at his job, but that the British magic world was very strict in protecting magical animals. There were very few magical animals circulating on the market, and most of them did not have much lethality and special magical powers.

Magical animals above level 3X were already very rare, and magical animals of level 4X were basically raised on a large scale or set up in protected areas. Even if Lucius could get them, it would take a long time to smuggle them.

After all, powerful magical animals might not be available even in the hands of smugglers. When they went to poach or kill, it would take several months to come back.

After thinking about it, Cyrus felt that it would be more convenient to just rob them.

Anyway, he accepted all the magical animals, mainly for research, and did not consider the strength of the magical animals. Cyrus also wanted to study the invisible beast, which was as powerful as a fire dragon, but had no fighting power. This magical animal can not only be used to make an invisibility cloak, but also has the ability to foresee the future.

He planned to start from two aspects. Lucius would spend money to do the work, and as for himself, he would just rob those smuggling wizards.

Moreover, the things in the hands of these wizards are good goods!

Cyrus did not stay at the Malfoy mansion to prevent Lucius from feeling uncomfortable.

He went to the most informed Hog's Head Bar first, but unfortunately he did not get any useful information. Although the smuggling of magical animals happens every day, unless someone is eager to make a move, there will be no blatant transactions. In most cases, the buyer has been determined before each smuggling.

For example, the dragon egg that Hagrid accidentally got was purely a trap set by Quirrell.

"There are many magical animals in the Forbidden Forest."

Cyrus thought, but he was not in a hurry to go to the Forbidden Forest.

The Forbidden Forest is like the back garden of Hogwarts. There are indeed many magical animals there, but it is just a forest after all, so the species of magical animals are rare, and there are also troublesome centaurs. Cyrus doesn't like to deal with them.

"The place with the most magical animals is naturally Newt's suitcase, but unfortunately I don't know Newt Scamander at all. I don't know where he is now." Cyrus felt a little regretful.

In order to compile teaching materials, Newt searched for traces of magical animals all over the world. I'm afraid that all the magical animals recorded in the textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" are in his suitcase, and even the Obscurus was sealed by him.

There was no harvest at the Hog's Head Bar, and Cyrus thought that maybe there would be some clues in the Ministry of Magic.

The British Ministry of Magic has a special department for the management and control of magical creatures to manage and protect magical animals. I think there will be files there to investigate.

Cyrus is a man of action. He left the Hog's Head Bar and arrived at the alley at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic.

It was already late, and the members of the Ministry of Magic were leaving get off work one after another. Cyrus watched a wizard leave, and the next moment he changed into the other person's appearance.

He had changed into the appearance of Dawlish before, but he had not used this identity for a long time. Dawlish was also put back by him and some memories were slightly modified.

Cyrus walked towards the public toilet calmly. Until now, he still couldn't figure out what the people who established the Ministry of Magic were thinking, and actually used the toilet as an entrance. Aren't they afraid that one day there will be a problem with magic, causing employees to be flushed into the sewer, or some unspeakable things to fall from the top of the Ministry of Magic?

Returning to the Ministry of Magic again, Cyrus did not choose to force his way in.

The front desk staff had not yet left work, and they were a little surprised to see Cyrus turn into this wizard and return.

"Adoc, why are you back?"

"I forgot something." Cyrus said casually. He greeted the other person naturally, and then stretched out his slender fingers and turned them in front of the other person's eyes when he got close.

"Confusing the public."

The employee's eyes immediately became empty. After almost a second, he regained his clarity, shook his head, and said, "Okay, the wand is fine, go in!"

Cyrus walked through the empty hall and went to the elevator.

The hall is located on the eighth floor underground. To go to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, you have to go up.

It is said that the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures is idle, but in fact it is the second largest department of the Ministry of Magic. There are many cases involving magical creatures every year, such as the recent goblin incident, which has caused headaches for wizards. Those guys come to the Ministry of Magic to parade and make trouble every day. Although they don't cause any casualties, they will damage the reputation of the Ministry of Magic in the long run.

In particular, many wizards' brains are like uncivilized. They actually empathize with the goblins and think that Cyrus's behavior is cruel and violent, and Lucius established the Wizard Bank to take advantage of the fire!

But who can know that Cyrus was just going to Gringotts to get something normally, and even in the end he only killed Bodrick.

The goblins brought about their own destruction, and no one is to blame!

Besides, Gringotts originally belonged to wizards, but the goblins took it over because of compromise. Now it has become something that the goblins have owned since ancient times. How ridiculous!

Wizards have a long lifespan, but it has only been a few hundred years, and they have completely forgotten the history of the goblin rebellion. How ferocious were the goblins at that time?

They simply eat wizards as food!

"In the final analysis, wizards are still too weak!" Cyrus' heart ignited with fire.

The goblins repeatedly touched the bottom line of the wizards, but the wizards' response was to lower their bottom line. This kind of boneless behavior made Cyrus angry!

The result of constant concessions can only lead to the goblins becoming more and more rampant. In fact, if Cyrus had not eliminated so many goblins, their military strength has become a threat, and there will be another rebellion in a few years.

At that time, it will be paid in blood again.

"Sooner or later, these pests must be killed!" Cyrus' eyes flickered.

The only value of goblins is that they can create goblin mithril, but technology can be learned. When Cyrus obtains goblin technology, there will be no need for goblins to exist.

"The goblin has always wanted to get the wizard's wand, so it is reasonable for the wizard to want to master the goblin mithril-making technology, right?" Cyrus chuckled.

In the final analysis, fists still have the right to speak, and the rest are just high-sounding excuses, just like what is inscribed under the statue in the Ministry of Magic Hall:

"Magic is power!"

These are also the words that Voldemort believed in most in his life.

From when he was young, he used his power to bully other people in the orphanage, to when Dumbledore used more powerful power to force him to surrender, Voldemort realized that it was not justice, but that the party with more power could make the weak One side lowers his head the way he wants!

Of course, this is the cruel reality. From the moment life is born, it is an unchanging law.

Cyrus naturally believed in this truth, otherwise he would not pursue power so much.

It's just that humans are not beasts and cannot only follow the lowest principles.

He will not be as crazy as Voldemort, or as extreme as Grindelwald, but no matter what, mercy is the tolerance of the strong, not the rights of the weak, and everything should be under his control.

Cyrus didn't think much. After he stepped out of the elevator, he passed by the goblin and centaur liaison office and walked inside.

Magical creatures include magical animals and some demi-humans, including werewolves, goblins, house elves, etc. There is even a department dedicated to the study of fire dragons, but these are not attractive to Cyrus.

It was not very early, and no one was in the entire affairs department. Cyrus walked in and suddenly saw a bald, middle-aged man locking the door with a wand.

The man heard the footsteps, raised his head, saw Cyrus, and showed a surprised expression:

"Addock, haven't you got off work yet?"

"There's something else. By the way, are there any cases of magical animal smuggling recently, preferably under investigation?" Cyrus had no worries that he might be seen through. When asked, he was very natural and asked calmly. Make your own problems.

His calmness comes from his own strength, so what if he is really discovered?

It's just a confusion spell.

"Fantastic animal smuggling?" The middle-aged man looked surprised and gave Cyrus a strange look, "Why are you concerned about this? Aren't you from the Department of Magical Transportation?"

"Those dark wizards transported magical animals to the UK and made some noise if they were not careful. Not long ago, there was a legend of a ghost ship in the North Sea."

"That's true, I remember another time, they actually smuggled mermaids, my God!" The wizard covered his head, looking like he had a headache, "When that mermaid sang in the North Sea, Muggles all went crazy. Jumping ship!"

The singing of mermaids is not as beautiful as in fairy tales, especially when they make sounds outside the water, they are simply sonic weapons!

"Okay, the files are all in there. Take a look for yourself. I remember Mr. Scamander was watching a group of smugglers." The man said and threw the office key to Sellers. "I'm leaving first. Come to my house when you have time, and I'll introduce you to my son! Cedric! He's a great young man!"

The middle-aged man said and left happily.

"Cedric Diggory?"

Cyrus narrowed his eyes, but he wasn't too surprised.

Cedric's father, Amos Diggory, is the Director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and a very powerful person in the Ministry of Magic.

But this didn't matter to Cyrus. In the final analysis, he just suddenly heard the name of a child who died before the war started, so he was briefly surprised.

Throughout "Harry Potter", the death of Cedric Diggory is like the separation between fairy tales and reality, beauty and cruelty, like a dusk, and it has been night since then.

But everything has changed now. Maybe Voldemort will still be resurrected, but what will happen after that will definitely not be a long night and endless sacrifices!

Cyrus withdrew his gaze, walked into the office, and picked up the file on the desk.

"Newt Scamander?"

——

Newt Scamander is an old wizard who is over ninety years old, ninety-six years old to be precise.

Of course, this age is not young for a wizard, but it is not too old to move. Since retirement, Newt has more time to live with magical animals. He has lived in Dorset with his wife Tina for a long time.

But Newt has never been idle.

In addition to enjoying retirement life, he also handles some magical animal smuggling cases from time to time, especially after his grandson reaches school age, he has more time.

"Are you sure it's them?" Tina Scamander raised her eyes that were as aggressive as a salamander and looked at several wizards wrapped in black robes from a distance.

"Yes." Newt, who is now almost a hundred years old, still looks as shy as before. His voice is very distinctive, like a big boy who can't let go. "You don't have to come."

"I'm bored at home too." Tina said softly, but her tone couldn't hide her excitement. "Besides, this always reminds me of the old days."

She was referring to the duel with Grindelwald half a century ago, which was about the fate of wizards and Muggles.

There's no doubt that if she went to Hogwarts, she would definitely be a Gryffindor!

The nearly 100-year-old old lady is eager to try at this moment, and can't wait to move her old bones.

"Do it now?"

"No!" Newt hurriedly pulled her back, "Don't alert the enemy. I don't know where they keep the magical animals. It's better to wait until they expose themselves." Newt stretched his somewhat old hand into his pocket for a while, and then a fluffy little thing was held in his palm.

This is a niffler.

The Niffler is a creature that is only the size of a palm, somewhat like a platypus, and has a pocket on its abdomen that is similar to the traceless extension spell.

However, this Niffler is different from the familiar face that Cyrus has seen in the movie. Its color is not black, but a little lighter.

Cyrus watched Newt send the Niffler out. In fact, he had noticed Newt and Tina a long time ago. The characteristics of these two people are too obvious, especially Newt's inseparable big brown box. Cyrus can see many magical echoes on it.

He looked at Newt, then at the dark wizards in the distance, gently picked up the wand and tapped it in the air, then walked towards Newt.

"Mr. Scamander."

Newt and Tina were startled by this sudden greeting. When they turned around, they saw a boy with his hair combed back and a little gold dyed on the front of his hair standing behind them.

"Who are you?"

Newt narrowed his eyes and watched the other party confidently walk towards him. His eyes suddenly blurred, as if he saw a familiar figure. He immediately shuddered, as if he had fallen into a blue flame.

"Wait, I'm not Dumbledore's favorite student!"

Thanks to Emperor Xuan Shao for the 200-point reward, thank you boss.

I still haven't resigned, but the updates will be a little irregular, please forgive me, dears.
