Luke and Alice's confrontation didn't last long.
In other words, what should be tested between two people has already been tested. Luke has initial trust in Alice, otherwise he would not let himself appear in front of her.
But Luke still asked the question that he was very concerned about.
"I want to know, how would you react if that bat really killed me?"
Luke asked this with a smile. But Dumbledore often sighed when he heard this question.
He still couldn't forget the crouching bat.
Of course Luke couldn't forget that damn Voldemort!
Damn, that was Luke's first time facing life and death. Do you really think you won’t panic at all if you are well prepared?
No matter how quickly you prepare, the terror between life and death will not be less. Luke is such a person who cares about his life, how could he not be worried at all?
"No, you should have seen that giant monster." Alice said with a reserved smile, "As long as it is there, nothing will happen to you that day."
Luke nodded when he heard this, and then said: "Is this your special technology?"
To enlighten the troll? This guy has so much time to spare.
However, the danger level of a giant monster with intelligence is not comparable to that of ordinary magical animals. Even the Voldemort Bat and the Manticore are not more dangerous than this thing.
After all, the trolls themselves are very powerful in terms of strength and defense. What limits them is their ridiculously low IQ. But now, IQ is no longer the disadvantage of the trolls, it has even become the advantage of the trolls. So with the number and strength of the trolls, then this is a naturally powerful army.
It's such a stupid idea. If it could come true, it would be a genius idea.
"You can't say it's our special technology."
Alice said frankly to Luke: "Strictly speaking, this should be the result of Lord Slytherin's research."
When these words came out, Luke was not too surprised. If there is anyone in the entire magical world who has the ability to study this kind of thing, then it is probably only Slytherin.
But that was hundreds of years ago.
“What are the limitations of this technology?”
If this technology were not restricted, the magical world would already be dominated by the Gaunt family. Why bother with the Ministry of Magic?
"Limited by the troll itself."
Alice said frankly.
Then Luke knew that there was probably no room for improvement in this technology. If the use of a certain magic needs improvement, then there is still some hope. But if there are requirements for the transformation object, then it will be over immediately.
Well, I can't say so absolutely, but there is a high probability that there is no room for improvement.
"Only those giant monsters with certain natural IQ advantages can survive the transformation without exploding."
As she spoke, Alice made a 'blooming' gesture.
It probably means that the brain is blooming.
Dumbledore looked at the little girl in front of him with a complicated expression. To be honest, if the little girl just said that there were no restrictions, then he would really have to think carefully about how he should treat Luke and the 'inheritance' he received.
Luke also nodded and did not ask any further questions. After all, this technology is just a matter of mentioning it. If there are any details, it is impossible to reveal them in front of Dumbledore.
This is not necessarily the organization's special skill, but it can definitely be regarded as a signature.
This kind of thing needs to be kept secret after all.
I have only scratched the surface on this issue without going too deep. But for Luke and Alice, it was already an exchange of attitudes.
I haven't forgotten what you did to set me up.
The entire organization belongs to you, why do you need to worry about this with us?
Dumbledore looked at the performance of the two people and shook his head silently.
Although he understands everything. But if you don’t like it, you don’t like it. There is something in such words.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here at the beach?"
Luofu looked at the beach in front of him strangely, his nose twitched and his expression changed.
"It smells of blood, Grandpa." He paused and said seriously: "Human blood."
Newt looked a little weird after hearing this. He pressed his hat, then stepped on the water and walked towards the rocky beach not far ahead.
Rolf frowned and looked at Newt's back, and finally followed him, but he had already taken out his wand in his hand.
Newt lowered his head and walked forward.
Then he suddenly stopped.
Through the reflection in the water, he saw the shadow of the mermaid beside him.
"Newt, can I still trust you?"
Heidi looked at Newt's face, which was much older than she remembered, on the water screen in front of her, and asked with some trepidation.
"You can always trust me. Heidi."
Newt's voice was calm, but firm.
Luofu just looked around warily. With this expression on his grandfather's face, there was a high probability that he was not a human being. As for magical animals...why do they kill people?
Rolf hates poachers. But he won't easily trust a magical animal that has killed people.
That is irresponsible to oneself.
"I don't know what you have been through. But Heidi, to put it in a more philistine way, there is no conflict of interest between the two of us."
"You should trust me."
The reflection in the water dissipates. The sound of the waves grew louder and louder. The wand held tightly in Rolf's hand, his expression became increasingly vigilant. His other hand was on Newt's sleeve. Be ready to take Newt out of here at any time.
Grandpa is getting older, and although he is still very strong, there are some risks that are better avoided than taken.
The sound of the waves suddenly subsided.
On the reef not far ahead, a mermaid appeared at some point.
Long sea-blue hair, a beautiful face, and... a natural sense of charm.
Luofu immediately stared at him closely. There was a hint of obsession in his eyes.
What a beauty……
Luofu subconsciously took a step forward. But the next step was controlled by himself.
There was a look of struggle on his face, and he froze in place, trapped in his own entanglement.
Newt looked at his struggling grandson with a flash of satisfaction in his eyes. To be able to achieve this level, he is already quite outstanding. Newt was never shy about acknowledging his grandson's strengths. Compared with his son, he believes that the person who can inherit his career better is his grandson.
The wand in his hand was raised, and he hit Rolf on the head.
Rolf suddenly woke up and lost his footing. If Newt hadn't helped him behind him, he would have fallen into the water.
"Use the Awakening Charm. I taught you this when dealing with Veela. Maintain it at all times."
Newt told his grandson.
Rolf nodded, restraining his desire to look over there. The wand flashed with a blue light and was pressed against his temple.
Only then did he dare to look over there.
"Your grandson? He's even less interesting than you were back then."
Heidi glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Rolf, shook her head and said.
Her tone was old-fashioned, like that of an elder, which was in sharp contrast to her appearance.
"No, it's much better than me back then." Newt said with a smile, "Your charm ability has improved a lot. If it were me when we first met back then, I wouldn't necessarily be better than him."
Heidi said nothing.
"I was being hunted and poisoned. I suspect that some of my followers betrayed me. There are also people in the royal family who want me dead. I need you to help me find a way to detoxify the poison."
Heidi's tone was so natural that it made people feel a little uncomfortable.
But Newt didn't say anything. He knew very well who Heidi was and the environment in which she grew up. It was normal to speak in such a tone. And such a tone does not indicate any malice.
"No problem, I will try my best to help you. We are friends."
Newt said with a smile.
When Heidi heard the word 'friend', Heidi was silent for a moment. Looking at the smile on Newt's face, she said seriously: "Thank you."
Newt shook his head.
"Let's leave first. You also need a place to stay." Newt pointed at Heidi, "You haven't had a good rest for many days."
Heidi's face is indeed beautiful. Even though she looks very tired and tired now, it is just another type of beauty.
"fair enough."
A trace of confusion flashed across Heidi's face, but the next moment, it turned into a look of determination.
……………………
In the evening, Luke held large and small bags in his hands and changed into more formal clothes. Although his expression was calm and composed, in a sense, looking at this outfit showed that Luke valued him.
Dumbledore, still dressed in casual clothes, looked at the big and small bags in Luke's hands and said in a strange tone: "You must have put a lot of thought into this."
Luke smiled: "No, I just found some random things."
Dumbledore calmed down and then knocked on the door.
"Newt!"
"Coming, coming!" Newt's somewhat panicked voice came from the door. Obviously he seemed to be preparing for something, but he was still not ready.
But soon, footsteps sounded, they quickly approached, and the door was opened.
"Hi Dumbledore, long time no see."
When Newt saw Dumbledore, he subconsciously reached out his hand. But Dumbledore still gave him a big hug.
"long time no see."
Luke looked at the warm embrace of the two old men not far away, and the trace of reserve on his face softened.
If before seeing Newt, Newt still had a little halo in his heart. So now, he really doesn't feel anything.
The good feelings and distance brought about by the previous life completely disappeared almost instantly.
As for why Luke has no sense of distance from Harry or even Dumbledore, after all, Harry was just a child when he watched the movie, and there was no sense of distance afterward. But Newt is different. The positioning of the protagonists of the two movies was different from the beginning.
So he likes Newt more, and he has a sense of distance from an idol.
However, now, it is finally back to normal.
Newt also noticed Luke on the side.
After breaking away from Dumbledore's embrace, he walked towards Luke with a smile and touched Luke deeply.
"Hello, Mr. Gunter, I've heard of you for a long time."
Luke looked at the reserved smile on Newt's face and said with a hearty smile: "Professor Scamander, I am your fan. Your writing in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is really wonderful. It is one of the most A good magical beasts textbook.”
This can be said to be a quite significant praise. After all, although Luke is temporarily unknown in the world of magical animal research, his identity means that the words he speaks have a certain weight.
Newt's face also obviously smiled wider.
On the other side, Rolf and Dumbledore hugged each other warmly, and then said with a smile: "Long time no see, Professor Dumbledore."
"Long time no see, Rolf. The last time I saw you, you were still a child."
Dumbledore patted him on the shoulder. And Roof smiled, and then looked at Luke on the other side.
"That is……"
"Luke Gunter is a very nice kid. I think you two will get along well."
Luofu smiled and did not respond. Apparently he wasn't very interested in this matter either.
However, due to the face of the elders, the contact between these two people was probably forced to take place.
Luke chatted with Newt for a while and walked to the door with Newt.
Luke and Rolf looked at each other, and Luke reached out his hand first: "Luke Gunter. A fan of the study of magical animals."
Rolf held Luke's hand with a smile on his face: "Rolf Scamander, a trainee magical creature researcher."
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at Newt. Newt shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, let's go in first, we have prepared meals."
Newt said enthusiastically.
Luke and Rolf let go. They looked at each other and smiled at each other.
After Luke and the others walked in the door, both Dumbledore and Luke were stunned.
In their sight, a little girl appeared. The girl had long sea-blue hair. The most important thing was that she had a particularly familiar feeling about her.
They had just experienced this feeling from the mermaid.
Although they can't immediately see through the disguise on this girl. But this girl's aura is still hard to ignore.
"Oh, let me introduce to you. This is Heidi, the granddaughter of one of my friends. That friend has been busy recently, so I will take care of her these days."
Luke glanced at Newt, not knowing what to say.
He nudged Dumbledore with his elbow.
"I can't tell either. But... it should be."
Dumbledore's voice rang in Luke's ears.
Luke frowned, and after a moment, he spoke to Heidi over there.
"Do you need an antidote? I might be able to get it from the Skye family."
Then, Heidi's expression changed.
