"Really?" Newt smiled casually. "I'm not sure about Hagrid's teaching schedule..."
They both watched the Curled-Winged Demon gradually fly away, like watching a strange butterfly disappear in the rain.
Suddenly, a burst of intensive flapping sounds of wings came from the direction of the Winged Demon.
Lycos was a little confused.
"There are quite a few seagulls around here," Newt explained promptly. "I asked the Winged Demon to bring some bird decoys. These decoys will attract the nearby seagulls and distract the Aurors..."
Soon, the blue-green winged demon flew back.
Newt held out his hand, and it transformed into a sphere and landed in his palm, easily slipping into his pocket.
"Let's go. Half of the Aurors have been divided by the seagulls. The current encirclement is large enough for us to pass through."
At Newt's signal, Buckbeak continued to fly towards the sky, changing his route from time to time, perfectly avoiding every wave of Auror searches.
Gradually, they were completely submerged in the clouds.
"Wow—"
Accompanied by the cry of a thunderbird, the group passed through the clouds and saw a completely different scenery.
It was a vast sea of clouds.
The thunderbird with three pairs of wings floats freely in the sea of clouds, and its golden feathers are shining brightly under the red sun in the sky.
"Can the Thunderbird change the celestial phenomena over such a large area in just a few minutes?" Lycos murmured as he looked at the sea of clouds that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.
"Yes, this is the power of magical animals." Newt smiled. "So even as wizards, we should respect any other race and not be blinded by temporary power."
His words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
"If you really want to go to the Volley family, you must be prepared - in this magical world, there are always some groups that we cannot understand."
……
Chapter 240: Declare war on the magical world?
With Newt's help, the rest of the journey went particularly smoothly.
Smuggling, getting rid of Aurors, hiding identities... these are all things Newt had left over from sixty or seventy years ago.
He brought a box of illegal magical creatures and smuggled himself into the United States on a cruise ship. He was able to do all kinds of things under the nose of the Magic Congress and even saved the entire American wizarding world by accident.
"The Volley family should be not far ahead." Newt, wrapped in the long tail of a strange-looking bird, yawned, "Okay, little guy, let me out."
The Aerobird flapped its extremely broad wings and expertly swung Newt and his suitcase onto its back. It looked like this wasn't the first time it had done this.
"There shouldn't be any Aurors following us, right?"
Newt ran his hand through his wind-blown gray hair, looked around, and sighed.
"It's been too long since we've had a war, and the Aurors' capabilities are much worse now than they were back then."
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but looking at Newt who had skillfully avoided all the Aurors' pursuit, Lecos always felt that he was a little... unsatisfied?
A hippogriff and an aeroponic bird, these two magical creatures flapped their broad wings in competition and flew over the last cloud.
Before my eyes was an endless emerald green plain, dotted with a blue velvet river.
From a distance, you can see the river flowing through an irregular quadrilateral castle.
"That's Kilkenny Castle. I heard it was built only about two hundred years later than Hogwarts Castle." Newt raised his hand and pointed to the end of the plain. "And Worley Manor is right behind it."
Lycos stared behind Kilkenny Castle.
"It seems... there's nothing?"
"There's really nothing there." Newt shook his head. "Have you forgotten? Wereley Manor has disappeared. Even Dumbledore couldn't figure out what kind of magic it was."
"Yeah, I remember now." Lycos pursed his lips tightly.
With the continuous flapping of two pairs of wings, the group slowly landed behind Kilkenny Castle.
Kilkenny Castle is located in a Muggle area. In order to prevent the two magical creatures from being discovered, Newt had used the Disillusionment Charm in advance to hide their figures.
"Before it disappeared, Worley Manor was right here." Newt jumped off the back of the airbird and pointed to the open space in front of him. "It was cast with the Untraceable Extension Charm and the Unmap Charm, so Muggles can't see it..."
Having said that, he suddenly turned and looked at Lycos.
"Little Lecos, before we arrive at the Voray family, I think I have to warn you... The mixed magical power here is very strange. It is very likely a power that no wizard has ever mastered."
"You have to be careful……"
However, before Newt could finish his instructions, he noticed that Lekos' eyes had widened, with a strange blue light reflected in his dark golden pupils.
"Mr. Scamander, what is this?" Lycos asked softly.
“What?” Newt frowned, “But… there’s clearly nothing here.”
"How can there be nothing in such a large area of blue light?" Lycos looked stunned and turned to look at Dobby beside him. "Dobby, did you see that?"
"Dobby didn't see anything either." The house-elf shook his head blankly.
"how come……"
Lycos was puzzled.
In his eyes, a huge blue ball of light seemed to be floating in the vast open space before him. It had been unclear in the air just now, but now that the blue light came into view, it seemed as if countless complex images were swaying within it...
"Appare Vestigium!"
Newt's expression was serious, his ash wand raised in his hand.
"Aparecium!"
"Revelio!"
"Specialis Revelio!"
"..."
One after another, spells related to appearance were spit out from the tip of the wand, enveloping the blue ball of light that Lycos pointed at.
Newt's expression grew increasingly serious as the spell continued to be cast.
"Lexus, are you sure that the ball of light really exists?" he asked in a deep voice.
"I'm sure." Lycos nodded slightly.
He then raised his wand and shot a sand and rock spell at the ball of light.
The light blue spell hit the bright blue ball of light and was suddenly submerged in the ball of light, as if it was swallowed directly by the ball.
In the sight of Newt and Dobby, the flying sand and rock spell seemed to vanish out of thin air, disappearing into thin air...
"The disappearance of the Wally Manor must be related to this ball of light."
Staring at the direction where the spell disappeared, Lycos said softly.
"This isn't magic I can figure out." Newt was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "We need Albus's help."
"Mr. Scamander, it seems you've forgotten this time." Lycos suddenly laughed. "Even Dumbledore didn't notice the magic here..."
Recalling the conversation with Dumbledore in the headmaster's office before leaving Hogwarts, Lecos seemed to see the old headmaster's deep eyes...
Dumbledore might not have been unaware of the magic in this place.
But he knew that there was only one person who could unlock the blue ball of light - so it seemed that this was also the reason why the old principal agreed to let Lecos leave school so easily.
"I understand."
Lycos took out the small notebook Cassandra gave him and slowly took two steps forward.
On the paper, among the handwriting that originally belonged to only one person, some blurry black handwriting slowly emerged - the closer to the blue light ball, the more obvious the handwriting became, but it was still impossible to see clearly what was written.
"Lex?" Newt asked, frowning.
"Mr. Scamander, I'll leave Buckbeak in your care." Lycos turned around and smiled at Newt. "And Dobby, please take him back to England... Dobby has helped me enough."
After saying that, without waiting for Newt to say anything more persuasive, Lycos took two steps forward.
The blue ball of light is now very close.
Lycos saw the scenery inside the light ball - open roads, new buildings, bright colors, it seemed like another world.
At the same time, as his body gradually sank into the ball of light, Lycos felt that he had also left the magical world he was originally in and was thrown into the embrace of another time and space.
The tender body was like a piece of plasticine, being reshaped, elevated, and stretched by an inexplicable force...
The next moment, his body suddenly relaxed.
The world was spinning, and a crisp sound like shattering glass rang in my ears. The diary on my chest suddenly became hot.
When his vision cleared again, Lycos found himself standing on a wide asphalt road.
Fashionably dressed men and women hurried past, and new-style cars occasionally honked their horns on the street.
A huge screen was erected on an exceptionally tall building, broadcasting a news report.
The news headlines shocked Lycos:
"The United Nations has officially declared war on the magical world!"
……
Chapter 241 Muggles, Wizards, and War
"This is... the 21st century?"
Lycos looked at the buildings and scenes around him that were both familiar and unfamiliar, and then looked at the cars, pedestrians, and clothing, and felt a sense of déjà vu.
After spending more than two years in the magic world of the 90s and suddenly returning to the st century, he always had the illusion that everything and everyone had changed.
There is a tall building on the side of the street, decorated with smooth and clean glass curtain walls.
Looking at his reflection on the glass curtain wall, Lycos was suddenly stunned.
I saw a tall figure standing on the mirror-like glass.
He was probably in his early twenties, wearing a neat suit, with black hair and dark golden eyes. His face was somewhat similar to that of seventeen-year-old Tom Riddle, but with a touch of oriental softness. He looked more like... himself in his previous life?
"Hey! That guy over there."
