"You should be familiar with the Lestrange family." Newt said after a short silence.

Regulus nodded, of course he was familiar with this last name.

The famous pure-blood family has great influence, so the Black family allows Bellatrix and Rodolphus to have a "marriage".

Just imagine, if the Lestrange family was a little-known little family, the Black family, who had their eyes on the top, would never consider forming an alliance with them.

"At that time, we were all investigating Credence's life experience. There was a theory that Credence was an estranged member of the Lestrange family." Newt continued, "In order to help him, we must find evidence. ."

"So, this Obscurial named Credence is not a member of the Lestrange family?" Regulus asked.

"No. Only Grindelwald knows his true identity... Maybe Dumbledore also knows, but he won't tell." Newt said, "Grindelwald knew that we were investigating this matter and transferred the person we were looking for in advance. Something that led us all to Père Lachaise Cemetery.”

Decades have passed, but Regulus can still hear the frustration and loss in Newt's tone.

"This is a step in Grindelwald's plan." Newt lowered his head and stared straight at the ground beside Nagini, without focus. "At that time, the wizarding world believed that only Dumbledore could resist. Grindelwald, and Grindelwald is only afraid of Dumbledore."

"It sounds a bit similar to the current situation." Regulus said, "Dumbledore, the only person the Dark Lord is afraid of."

"Voldemort, I'm not sure what his motive is...to establish the rule of pure-blood wizards?" Newt said disapprovingly, "In the past ten years, I have only seen senseless killings, that's all. But Grindelwald doesn't Likewise, he is very good at arousing people's emotions. I have to admit that that night, when I saw him showing that...prophecy about the war scene in the Muggle world, even I felt that he was right, Muggles. Gua does possess terrible power and can not only destroy all wizards, but also all human beings."

Regulus was a little surprised when he heard Newt call Voldemort by his first name.

But he soon felt relieved. Since in Newt's eyes, Voldemort was not comparable to Grindelwald, calling him by his first name was nothing.

"There were probably a few thousand people attending the party that night, and some of them were his die-hard members. We call them the Wiccan Party..." Newt continued to recount the past.

"Sounds much more imposing than Death Eaters." Regulus muttered quietly.

"what?"

"It's okay...please continue."

"By the time we realized this was a conspiracy, the Wiccan Party had already blocked the exit." Newt said, "And most of the wizards who participated in the gathering believed what Grindelwald said, that is, if the wizards did not rise up to resist, , will be slaughtered to death by Muggles who have mastered terrible power..."

"This entry point is really good, making all wizards feel the crisis." Regulus commented fairly, "Not everyone wants to be a ruler, but when their own survival is threatened, everyone It is impossible to remain indifferent.”

"My brother, Theseus Scamander, was the director of the Auror Office at the time. He led fifty people and tried to capture Grindelwald." After saying this, Newt slowly shook his head.

Regulus knew why the old man showed such emotion.

He had not met Grindelwald and the so-called Wiccan Party, but he had met Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

He knew that if a head of the Auror Office led fifty Aurors to raid a gathering of Voldemort and Death Eaters, the result would usually be the annihilation of the entire army.

"Basically all of them died." Sure enough, Newt's statement was just as Regulus expected, "To be precise, among the fifty people from the Ministry of Magic, only Theseus survived that battle... …And Grindelwald almost burned down the entire Paris with just one spell.”

For some reason, Regulus remembered Dumbledore's "Vulcan Clearing the Way" when he burned down a grove.

"Later, Dumbledore said that it was a special spell that combined the Iron Armor Curse and the Flame Curse, called 'Fire Shield'. It also had the effect of Legilimency, so that the flame could automatically determine whether the target was a target. Loyal to Grindelwald..." Newt said, "Those who are willing to follow Grindelwald will not be harmed by the fire... Even his former enemies will be accepted by the flames if they change their minds... For example Qua… Credence.”

Although the syllables were similar, Regulus felt that Credence was not the name Newt originally wanted to name.

He wisely did not ask further questions, but followed Newt's words and asked: "So, the man named Credence believed Grindelwald?"

"Yes, he really wants to know his life experience." Newt said, "He is a poor child who was adopted by an organization that hates wizards extremely. He has a very strong magical talent, but he has no way to release it. He can only Obscurus was born in the body... We searched for him in France for a long time, and only saw him once at Père Lachaise Cemetery. He was with Nagini at the time, and she was still human, a very beautiful girl. "

Newt pointed at Nagini, and the big snake coiled quietly on the ground.

"Didn't she go with Credence?" Regulus asked.

"No, she knows that Grindelwald is using Credence. I believe Credence himself knows this too..." Newt said solemnly, "But no one can stop his determination to trace his origin."

Regulus suddenly thought of the same words he had said when he first saw Nagini in the forest.

I just don’t know if Nagini is now willing to be used by Voldemort just like Credence was to Grindelwald. Perhaps Voldemort also made some kind of promise to her?

"Where did you find her?" Newt suddenly asked.

"Albania..." Regulus asked with a thought, "Have you been to Albania?"

"Of course I have been there," Newt replied. "The Muggles there were at war at the time, and I found several injured animals in the mountains. The horned beasts were about to become extinct at that time..."

"Have you ever seen a strange hollow tree?" Regulus asked, "...just like this."

Golden smoke sprayed out from the end of his staff, quickly forming the shape of the hollow tree.

"You are already more skilled at using this spell than I am." Newt praised, "Let me see..."

Newt looked confused as he stared at the tree taking shape in the mist.

"what happened?"

"I may have seen this tree before, but... can't remember it."

Regulus was mentally prepared for this answer. You can't ask an old man in his 90s to remember what every tree he has ever seen looks like.

"Is there anything special about this tree?" Newt asked again.

"I found Nagini near this tree. She was enchanted and ordered to wait near the tree." Regulus explained, "As for this tree, I suspect someone has hidden something in it. , because there is a magic circle with ancient magic words on the tree..."

"Sorry, ancient magic texts are not my strong point." Newt said generously, "But since this thing was lost 200 years ago, you can ask someone who has lived longer. I happen to know an older person. My friend, he has done some research on ancient runes. He was also the one who helped us prevent Grindelwald from burning Paris back then."

"You mean, Nico Flamel?" Regulus said suddenly, "I forgot about him."

"When you are young, your judgment will be affected by being too focused on certain things." Newt finally had a smile on his face, "When I was 30 years old, in order to bring Thunderbirds to the United States to release, It was probably against fifty laws they had, and I didn’t realize it at the time.”

Gu</span>A rustling sound came, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Nagini, who was forgotten aside, changed her posture and curled up into a ball, as if she was taking a nap.

He seems to be very satisfied with the sunshine here.

"Is there anything you can do?" Regulus chose his words carefully, "I have to remind you that she is different from your magical creatures. The Dark Lord cast a kind of magic on her. And now, the Dark Lord Just in the UK, I'm not sure whether the effectiveness of that magic will change as the distance gets closer..."

"We can check this." Newt pulled out his wand, "I have rescued many animals, and they were all restrained by their cruel masters with spells..."

After receiving a positive answer, Regulus turned to Nagini and discussed in Parseltongue: "We are now going to remove the magic that controls you. I hope you can cooperate..."

Orochi nodded lazily.

Newt quickly got into work mode, constantly casting detection magic on Nagini, some of which Regulus had never even heard of.

About half an hour later, Newt came to the conclusion: "It's a very sophisticated magic that has something to do with flesh and soul. I can't break it by myself."

"Can I do anything?"

"Help me, there should be hope if we work together." Newt waved his wand, marked a magic line on Nagini's body, and said, "You continue to input magic in this direction, and I will guide it..."

The two did what they said. Regulus input magic power according to Newt's instructions. The black pattern on Nagini's body immediately lit up and turned into a red and green, bright and weird color. Gulus felt a tingle in his heart as he looked at it.

If you look closely, you can see that the thin red and green threads are like a kind of woven chain, deeply imprinted on her scales.

Newt began to break the spell, peeling the tiny chains off Nagini's body bit by bit.

This process was obviously not pleasant, and Nagini soon began to struggle painfully.

"It will be fine soon..." Regulus had just said this in a coaxing tone, but the serpent had already fallen into a violent state.

"Kill you...kill you!"

Nagini suddenly jumped up from the ground, opened her bloody mouth, and showed her sharp fangs at Regulus' neck.

"Stop!" Newt reacted very quickly, and a net bag rose from the ground, ready to trap Nagini inside.

But the net bag stopped only halfway up, because the snake also stopped in mid-air, its fangs only a foot away from Regulus' throat.

Seven inches of her body was pinched tightly by a hand, making it impossible for her to attack the target that was just a few feet away.

The hands were much larger than ordinary human hands, with long fingers and sharp nails.The skin is lavender.

Many spikes appeared on the forearm connected to the hand, piercing the suit wrapping the arm.

A bit of bright green light can be vaguely seen.

This hand was obviously extremely powerful. Nagini, who was caught in a violent rage, was strangled and hung in mid-air, unable to struggle away anymore.

Newt was only surprised for a few seconds, and then he waved his wand decisively. The ropes that formed the net bag turned into crisscross hinges, and both ends quickly sank into the ground, fixing Nagini's body and preventing her from moving.

"You have to hurry up, I might not be able to hold on for long." Regulus said flatly.

He held the snake's head with one hand and the wand with the other, still outputting light blue magic power.

"I will try my best." After the old magizoologist said that, he concentrated on lifting the spell that bound Nagini, and there were even beads of sweat on his forehead.

As Newt continued to peel off the thin threads from her body, the snake struggled desperately and kept making hissing sounds, appearing to be in great pain, but the pain was obviously not caused by Regulus squeezing her hand.

"Grandpa, Professor Black, grandma asked me to tell you to eat..." a voice shouted, and then Mrs. Rohr followed the sound and ran over in a hurry.

Newt didn't even look at his grandson, his eyes fixed on the snake in front of him, and his wand had been transferred to his left hand.

"Tell Tina that we are a little busy and will eat later."

Rolf saw this and knew immediately that his grandfather and teacher were in trouble.

He didn't say much and ran back immediately. 2 minutes later, Tina ran over with long strides, completely unlike her age.

Although she was a little surprised, Tina was, after all, a former American elite Auror. When Grindelwald was traveling across Europe, she was also on the front line of the battle. She was someone who had seen big scenes.

And she and Newt seem to have a special understanding, knowing each other's intentions without much explanation.

She immediately found the node and input the magic power. Regulus felt much less stressed.

While maintaining an incomplete transformation, he continued to use magic power to fight against the spell set by Voldemort, which consumed a lot of money.

Finally, the red and green chains were stripped off Nagini's body, and the snake stopped struggling.

"It hurts..." Nagini's voice was weak and she looked very weak.

The scales on her body that had once been able to bounce off powerful spells were peeling off and blood was oozing out.

Regulus had a feeling that Nagini's super magic resistance was probably brought about by Voldemort's magic. After they removed Voldemort's magic, she was just an ordinary big snake. Those injuries she had suffered, It also broke out again.

"She is in very bad condition, but I have ointment..." Newt said hurriedly, "In my study...in the fifth drawer of the third cabinet, there are seven brown medicine bottles...should be It’s the second one from the left…”

"The ointment is coming." Regulus pointed to the briefcase he put aside and recited a spell.The special ointment he bought in France, which is specially designed to treat reptiles, popped out.

"It's Blanchflower's product," Newt said after taking the ointment and checking it. "Their product is really good, although I prefer to use my own self-prepared ointment, because each animal's situation is different. There cannot be a universal magic medicine..."

"You started again." Tina seemed very helpless about Newt's occupational disease.
