Chapter 70: Newt-Scamander

　　 looked at the dark tombstone.
　　 and the white-haired old man standing in front of the tombstone with his head bowed.
　　 Jon suddenly felt a sense of sadness from his heart.
　　 Flowers were inserted in front of the tombstone by Dumbledore, and then he stepped back slowly and bowed deeply at the tombstone.
　　 Jon followed his movements and saluted the tombstone.
"Nick LeMay and I are friends!" Dumbledore said: "I was just a young man in his twenties. He was already a famous alchemist... He was my mentor and mine. My dear friends; together we caught a huge Ukrainian iron belly dragon, discovered twelve uses of dragon blood together, and published that shocking paper together..."
　　 Dumbledore remembered quietly.
"Over the years, he has helped me a lot...Although I know very well, he has always been a quiet person; he just wants to live in Devon with his wife and spend time on their favorite stage plays; but each All kinds of accidents made me have to turn to him..."
"A year ago, he told me that he wanted to leave this world... You know, an alchemist like him, completely decides his own life and death... At that time, my emotions can be completely described as loss; I There are not many of my former friends, and one more is leaving!"
　　 Jon didn't try to interrupt Dumbledore's memory, but just nodded silently.
"Jon, when I was young, I also lost myself because of strength and power." Dumbledore suddenly said with a serious face: "But later, I knew that family...love...friendship... It is the most precious thing in this world."
　　 "I see, professor!" Jon whispered, "I will remember your words."
　　……
　　 They stayed in the cemetery for a long time.
　　 Jon suddenly noticed that after these few hours, his fear and hostility towards Dumbledore seemed to be disintegrating a little bit.
　　 If another Bogut appeared in front of him, he probably wouldn't be turning into Dumbledore.
　　 I have to say, if you don't count people... Albus Dumbledore is indeed a kind, even a little cute old man.
　　 "Professor, where are we going now?" Jon looked at his watch, unconsciously, it was almost 11 o'clock.
　　 He just remembered that today is his birthday.
　　 is really a happy birthday; I received a patriotism education, then went to Britain's most terrible prison, and finally attended a funeral.
　　 "I'm so sorry to interrupt your birthday, Jon!" Dumbledore said with a smile, "I think I can take you back soon!"
　　 "Dumbledore... Professor Dumbledore!" An old voice suddenly came from a distance.
　　 "Oh, my God!" Dumbledore turned his head, beaming with joy.
　　 Jon saw a sloppy old man, two old ladies, and a child of his grade, rushing towards this side.
　　 Dumbledore and the sloppy old man gave a hug: "Newt, my friend...I think you should also come to pay tribute to Nicholas..."
　　 "Yes!" Newt-Scamander nodded: "In Paris, Mr. Flammel gave me and my brother a lot of help."
　　 "Introduce it!" Newt pointed to the people around him: "My wife Tina; her sister Queenie Kowalski; and my youngest grandson Rove."
　　 The two old ladies are both very old, one of them looks kinder, the other has a sad face.
　　 And the little boy who looked about the same age as Jon smiled friendly at Jon, and Jon immediately nodded in response.
　　 "In two months, Rove will be a freshman at Hogwarts...I hope he will be assigned to Hufflepuff." Newt said to Dumbledore, pointing to his youngest grandson.
　　 "I don't think I might be able to help much...this is Jon Hart!" Dumbledore patted Jon on the shoulder. "Coincidentally, he is a little Hufflepuff."
　　 "Hufflepuff?" Newt seemed to have a sudden interest: "I was studying there back then...Unfortunately, I was expelled in the fifth grade."
　　 "Phineas Black later thought this was the biggest mistake he made in his life!" Dumbledore laughed.
　　Newt also smiled: "I also remember the nasty face of Headmaster Black."
　　 The two elders, Dumbledore and Newt Scamander, began to chat.
　　 Joan thought for a moment, and finally pulled out his wand from his waist.
　　 Taking advantage of a conversation, he opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Scamander... I have a question, may I ask you?"
　　 "Oh?" Newt turned his head and glanced at him: "Is it about magical animals?"
"Yes!" Jon nodded: "I don't know if you know the iron eater, Mr. Ollivander said that my wand core is the feather of the iron eater... I checked it in the library for a long time, but none Can find relevant content."
In fact, Jon has indeed read a lot of books about magical animals, and the descriptions of iron-eaters are very few. Apart from a rough introduction, it is a Chinese magical animal with powerful charm... …Now it's rare to meet a master of magical animals, he feels that he should seize this opportunity.
　　 "Iron-eaters!" Newt lost his thoughts: "I remember... When I traveled the world in 1925, I observed them up close in Sichuan..."
　　 "Iron Eater is a very powerful magical animal. If it is graded according to its magical ability and danger, it can be classified as at least 4X!" Newt explained, "Of course you may not understand the classification of magical animals."
"Generally speaking, magical animals with powerful magic and high aggressiveness are classified to the highest 5X level, such as basilisk, giant griffon, and the most brutal among fire dragons, such as the Hungarian tree peak Dragons and Ukrainian iron-belly dragons; and magical animals that possess powerful magic but are not highly aggressive can only be classified up to 4X level, such as phoenix, earth digger or thunderbird."
"Fantastic animals above 4X level basically possess more than 95% of the magical powers of wizards." Newt added: "But the iron-eater is still a magical animal with extremely high intelligence, which is also quite rare among magical animals. Land."
　　 "Iron-eaters are very friendly to wizards and ordinary people. They rarely attack humans and look like very docile magical animals."
　　 "But the aggressiveness of the iron-eaters is not high, and it is limited to intelligent creatures like humans; for those non-intelligent animals (whether they are magical animals or not) that break into their territory, the iron-eaters will show their terrible power."
"In Lijiang, I saw with my own eyes a rhino that broke into an iron-eater's lair, and its skull was smashed by the palm of an adult iron-eater... And that rhino was still affected by charm magic before dying. , I still feel that the iron-eater that attacked it is its spouse and did not produce any hostility."
"In addition, the scope of activity of the Chinese Fireball Dragon is in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River~EbookFREE.me~ This is very abnormal; the fire dragon is more suitable for inhabiting areas, which should be forest areas like the upper reaches of the Yangtze River... But I have traveled all over In Sichuan and Yunnan, no one active fire dragon was found; instead, I found several fossil pits of the Chinese fireball dragon."
"In fact, there are no active beasts or magical animals below Tibet and the entire upper Yangtze River... Many of the local Muggles say that iron-eaters bless them. I think there is a certain way. reason."
　　 "It's a pity, I only have this knowledge about iron-eaters..." Newt Scamander ended his introduction.
　　 "Thank you, Mr. Scamander." Jon said gratefully.
　　……
　　 left Devon, and it didn't take long for Dumbledore to send him back to 86 Eastleigh Road.
　　 It was almost 12 o'clock. After saying goodbye to the principal in a hurry, Jon returned home.
　　 However, Albus Dumbledore did not return to Hogwarts, but used Apparition to arrive at the Ministry of Magic.
　　 Late at night, there are not many people on duty in the Ministry of Magic; Dumbledore got on the elevator and reached the sixth floor: the Department of Magical Transportation.
　　 Finally, he entered the door key office.
　　 "Professor Dumbledore!" the young man on duty in the door key office, seeing the unexpected guest, shouted in surprise.
"Good evening, Bob!" Dumbledore said with a smile, "I need a key to the tower of Newmontgard. Phantom shift and Floo nets are forbidden for a hundred miles. You should knew."
　　While talking, Dumbledore took out a document from his pocket: "This is the Newmont Gad tower permission certificate given to me by Wissengamer."
　　 "Okay, Professor Dumbledore, please wait a moment!"
