The two faced off silently, but the atmosphere became tense. When Dong realized the danger, the little Qilin moved uneasily. He raised his hooves as if he wanted to walk towards Noah. The little hooves fell to the ground and let out a loud sound.
The sound of "ta" is like a signal at this moment of excessive silence. Grindelwald raised his wand in an instant, and a dark green spell flew out from the tip of the wand.
Noah, who was tense, waved his hand in an instant, and the magic array, as complex and magnificent as blooming petals, suddenly unfolded in front of him, blocking the magic spell.
Grindelwald turned the tip of his wand and fired another spell directly at the magic circle. Noah pressed one hand on a section of the magic circle, and raised his other hand while inputting magic power. Suddenly, a biting cold wind blew up in the courtyard, and something like a blade whizzed in the cold wind and struck Grindelwald from all directions. .
Grindelwald had to stop the spell. With a wave of his wand, the spherical shield wrapped him tightly, making it invisible.
The "blade" hit the shield, making a series of crisp knocking sounds. But both parties stopped casting spells together.
Grindelwald looked at Noah through the translucent white shield, as if measuring the power of the blow just now.
Some of the dark wizards were already alerted. Some of them poked their heads out of the windows and were stunned for a moment when they saw the scene in the courtyard.
Without waiting for them to come out to cheer Grindelwald, they saw the two people in the courtyard removing their magic in a tacit agreement. Although they were still quiet, they were no longer as tense as before.
Grindelwald took a deep look at the little unicorn who was hiding behind Noah's legs, with only a small head exposed. After the little guy turned his head in disdain, he withdrew his gaze and returned to the castle without saying a word.
Noah watched him leave in silence, and after a few seconds, his eyes fell on the little Qilin. This little guy seemed to feel completely safe because of what he had just done. At this moment, he raised his little head and squinted his eyes, clicking around his legs, as if it was the one who had just fought with Grindelwald. Same, quite a bit like a fox pretending to be a tiger.
Noah looked away expressionlessly. Grindelwald needs this little guy to kneel down to him to achieve his goal, and if a living unicorn does not kneel to him, then the dead one can only surrender to Grindelwald.
Of course Grindelwald can do this kind of thing, or it is precisely because he is Grindelwald that he can do it. The first blow just now was directed at the little unicorn, but Noah's spirit was too tense. The moment the opponent took action, he cast the spell faster.
The subsequent attacks by both of them were conditioned reflexes. After all, the other party had already aimed the spell at themselves, so they would naturally attack subconsciously.
It was freezing, so the two of them stopped attacking after calming down a little. No one thought that Noah would meet Qilin's conditions.
So after failing to kill the Kirin at the beginning, Grindelwald said nothing more, but the Kirin was handed over to Noah by default.
The other wizards in the castle looked at Noah with a lot of changes, as if they thought he had a dispute with Grindelwald, but Grindelwald didn't say anything, so they didn't question anything.
But no one knew that Qilin knelt down to Noah. This incident was concealed by Noah and Grindelwald in a tacit agreement.
Except - Queenie Goldstein. This witch seemed to have secretly spied on what was going on. Grindelwald, who was focused on Qilin and Noah, did not notice it. Only Noah noticed the secretly spying sight.
Fortunately, Queenie wisely kept silent and did not let this matter spread. ...Newt returns to Hogwarts.
Dumbledore was still teaching at the school. At this time, he was not the principal, but only the transfiguration professor.
He had just finished class and when he walked out of the classroom, he first noticed a group squatting at the door of the classroom. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Newt who was snatching something from Sniff.
"What are you playing at?" Dumbledore teased, beckoning Newt to follow him. Newt blinked, looked at each other with Xiu Xiu, forcefully pulled the golden ribbon from the little guy's paws, and returned it to the portrait frame beside him, then followed Dumbledore with Xiu Xiu in his arms.
The two of them arrived at the Transfiguration Professor's office.
"You came back quickly this time." Dumbledore poured Newt a cup of tea, poured himself a cup and added two spoons of sugar.
"Did the search for Qilin go smoothly?"
"Actually, it didn't go well either." Newt sat down on the chair skillfully and took a sip of tea.
"I found Qilin." Dumbledore nodded, not surprised by his words. He is very optimistic about Newt and knows Newt's ability, otherwise he would not let him help destroy Grindelwald's plan.
But Newt's next words put him in no mood for tea.
"But one unicorn was snatched away by Grindelwald."
"What?" Dumbledore frowned.
"Is he trying to get Qilin's idea?" Newt did not answer, but dropped another bomb: "Among his followers, there is a person recognized by Qilin." If the previous news only made Dumbledore Lido understood, and the last sentence made Dumbledore's hands tremble.
"What did you say?" Dumbledore suspected that he heard wrongly. A guy who follows Grindelwald is recognized by Qilin?
Did Newt really find the wrong Kirin? ! In fact, Newt was still digesting the news. He described to Dumbledore in detail what had happened before, and finally focused on the scene where Noah rescued Qilin.
After hearing this, Dumbledore frowned: "This doesn't sound like something that those followers can do. If Grindelwald's goal was Qilin, he wouldn't have left anyone alive. It seems that this person also I have objections to Grindelwald's actions." Newt's focus was not on this: "I have seen that man before, he has appeared in New York and Paris before."
"In other words, he has been following Grindelwald?" Dumbledore thought,
"That's the person they trust more." But the strange thing is that none of them had paid attention to that Asian face before, because that person was obviously standing closest to Grindelwald.
No one would want Wenda Rozier, because behind Rozier stood the top nobles in the French wizarding world.
What about that unfamiliar Asian face? Dumbledore instinctively felt that there was a problem behind this, but he couldn't grasp what the problem was for the moment.
And...if he meets Qilin's conditions, why did he choose to follow Grindelwald? This is the point that puzzles Dumbledore the most, but it may also be a breakthrough.
"Newt, maybe we can find a breakthrough from this person?" Dumbledore made up his mind.
"I want to meet him." Newt was not surprised by his thoughts, and he also wanted to talk to Noah. After all, the other party returned the invisible beast, bird snake, and other animals, and raised them all. Yes, he shouldn't be a ruthless person.
