Chapter 167 Silently



Dorset is located in the southwest of England. It is undoubtedly a romantic place. The long coastline brings sparkling bays. Dorset is not only the starting point of the Jurassic Coast, but also has the romantic Cuffe Castle.

Newt's home was located a little further from the coast, which was good for them to avoid the humid sea breeze. Here, Cyrus was warmly entertained. He was very happy that Tina was an American before, which gave his dinner a lot of fresh variety.

"So, what's the matter with the Ministry of Magic's wanted order?" Uncle Newt put down his fork and looked up at Cyrus.

Although he had already accepted this young man who "liked" magical creatures in his heart, the Ministry of Magic's wanted order was not groundless, and Dumbledore seemed to have fought with Cyrus.

"They say you are a ghost from fifty years ago. I want to know how you maintain your youthful appearance?" Tina's focus was obviously completely different from Newt's. She wanted to know more about how Cyrus maintained his appearance.

There are many people in the wizarding world who live to be one or two hundred years old, but almost no one can keep their body young forever. Even if they use transfiguration, it will consume a lot of magic power and is not a long-term solution.

"That's a little inconsistent with the situation, Mr. Scamander. The person they're looking for is Tom Riddle, and my name is Cyrus." Cyrus chuckled. He always had a flexible standard for his identity.

"You can see that the portraits of Tom Riddle and I when we were young actually only look similar, not to mention that he has changed a lot now."

“So they got the wrong guy?” Newt obviously didn’t believe the answer.

But Cyrus nodded seriously.

However, he only agreed with the view that "the Ministry of Magic had identified the wrong person" and did not say that the criminal records on the wanted warrant were not committed by him, so this was not considered a deception.

"For now, the misunderstanding between Dumbledore and I has been resolved, at least temporarily," said Cyrus.

With this sentence as a guarantee, Newt was almost completely relieved about Cyrus. Only those who have really been with Dumbledore would understand this feeling. In most cases, if Dumbledore believes that something is right, it will not go wrong.

Of course, there is nothing absolute in this world.

After dinner, Newt took Cyrus with him into his trunk.

As soon as you step in, there is a staircase leading downwards, as if leading to a spacious basement. Going further down, there is a wooden house, which is where Newt processes and feeds the ingredients of magical animals.

Cyrus glanced around but didn't see the woman who had always been with Newt and helped him take care of the animals in the movie.

"I have quite a few magical animals here, and they are not very dangerous." Newt seemed to be a different person when he talked about magical animals. He usually spoke very little, and at dinner he only asked about Cyrus' identity, and it seemed that he had considered it for a long time before he reluctantly said it.

But now, he knows them all by heart.

"This is a Kaaba. I found it in Australia. A group of poachers took it from Japan. Be careful. They are dangerous."

Kaba is a magical animal that lives in water. They look like monkeys. They hide in the water and then drag people into the water and eat them. Cyrus thinks that the rumors of water monkeys appearing in some places may be because they were witnessed by Muggles.

The strength of this animal is not very strong, but it is very cunning and aggressive towards humans, because the Ministry of Magic has set their danger level at 4X. The assessment of the danger level of magical animals not only depends on the power of the magical animals themselves, but also on how much casualties they can cause to wizards and the habits of the creatures.

For example, the Fire Dragon and Thunderbird, the former has a danger level of 5X, while the latter has a danger level of 4X, the same as Kaba. But in reality, Thunderbird may not be a match for the Fire Dragon in a real fight.

There are also magical creatures of the same 5X level, the combat power between the Acromanthus and the Fire Dragon is even more different. However, the horror of the Acromanthus is not the destructive power of one of them, but its entire clan, and they also like to eat people! "Usually I don't keep very dangerous magical animals, because they are very aggressive and will attack each other. And powerful magical animals have a strong sense of territory." Newt said, and it was obvious that this Kaba was just not released by him in time.

"It had bad luck. There was a horse-shaped water monster in the lake, and it drove this Kaba to the shore."

Cyrus looked at these animals and seemed to calm down a little, even though the Kaba was still barking at him recklessly, like an annoying monkey.

Later, Cyrus also saw the invisible beast. This magical animal looked very similar to a monkey, but it was much more docile and looked more like a wise old man, not as hideous as Kaba.

Most of the magical animals living in Newt's suitcase have one characteristic in common - they are rare. Several kinds of magical animals are almost extinct in the outside world, but here there is a group that can barely continue to reproduce.

"Look, that's a Chinese Qilin. I thought they were all extinct." Newt pointed to a direction for Cyrus from hundreds of meters away in a mountain forest. He handed Cyrus a telescope, but Cyrus actually didn't need a telescope to see the auspicious beast with bony bones.

"The Kirin will choose its true leader. Almost half a century ago, the dark wizard Grindelwald had set his sights on the Chinese Kirin. He killed a newly born Kirin, took away its child, and made it into a corpse, forcing it to bow to him in front of the whole world..."

Newt seemed to be reminiscing about the past, but his face was filled with gloom.

"But he miscalculated. He didn't expect that the Kirin actually gave birth to two children. We brought a real living Kirin to expose his conspiracy, but the Kirin identified Dumbledore. Since then, Dumbledore has become the chief wizard of the International Confederation of Wizards."

"So, this Qilin is the Qilin cub from that year?"

"That's right," Newt nodded stiffly, "I have tried many ways to continue its population, but I haven't found another Chinese Kirin in all these years. Some Japanese Kirin subspecies have been shipped here, but it doesn't seem to be interested in them at all."

Newt looked extremely sorry.

"Perhaps you can go to Hogwarts and find a man called Rubeus Hagrid, who just took over as professor of Care of Magical Creatures this year. He is very good at cross-breeding between magical creatures. Ahem, I mean cross-breeding," Cyrus said tactfully.

"Really?" Newt seemed very surprised, but a little worried. "I don't know if he will be willing to help me."

"Hagrid likes magical creatures very much. I think you will have common topics. You can write to Dumbledore. I believe he will introduce you to him." Cyrus ended the topic and looked further away.

Over there is a vast snowfield.

"Do you still take in snowmen here?" Cyrus asked deliberately.

Compared to the Qilin, the magical animal sealed in the ice and snow is his real target this time!

Following Cyrus's gaze, Newt's expression became even more lost. He shook his head and said softly, "I don't take in any subhumans here. Come with me."

He didn't explain anything, but just led Cyrus over there.

"I cast a separation spell here to separate the two different areas. It might be a bit cold to go directly there."

"Don't worry about me."

Cyrus's physique is like that of a human-shaped thunderbird, but the cold is not a problem for him.

So they crossed the dividing line and came to a mass of black substance, frozen by ice and snow, which looked like a pile of frozen black oil.

“This is the Obscurus.”

Obscurus - a dark creature born from the body of a wizard! "Young wizards constantly suppress their magical powers, which will eventually lead to the birth of such monsters in their bodies! Young wizards with Obscurus in their bodies usually do not live to the age of ten and will go berserk because their own magic cannot control it." Newt said.

But he hadn't said a word yet.

'If the wizard's magic is strong, he will be able to suppress the Obscurus, but as time goes by, the Obscurus will become stronger.'

He thought of Cresden, Aurelius Dumbledore, Aberforth's son. This gifted wizard had suppressed the monster in his body for more than a decade, and finally even began to control the power of the Obscurus! Unfortunately...

Cyrus walked in front of the Obscurus. This Obscurus didn't look that powerful, otherwise Newt wouldn't be able to subdue it.

"It feels like a combination of negative emotions." Whether it was Cyrus or Voldemort, it was actually the first time they saw the Obscurus with their own eyes. This evil creature gave them the feeling that it was the power of negative emotions extracted by ancient magic.

"You're right." Newt nodded affirmatively.

This Obscurus came from a nine-year-old girl. When Newt first met her, things had already reached an irreversible point, and he has always had a knot in his heart. Over the years, he has also been trying to study how the Obscurus was born.

"When a wizard casts a spell, he needs a strong will to participate. The magic itself contains a lot of emotions. When these emotions are suppressed for a long time, the accumulated magic power combines with the emotions, and such a monster will be born!"

When Newt looked at the Obscurus, it was as if he was watching a sad story.

And in fact, it is true.

Only wizards who extremely suppress their own magical powers and live in pain for years will be born in silence in the most vulnerable part of their hearts.

"They can't even be called magical animals. They are just a collection of magic and negative emotions. They seem to have come alive unexpectedly, but their minds are filled with destruction."

Cyrus lowered his head, his golden eyes glowing, as if he wanted to see the inside of this black mass clearly! Newt also noticed Cyrus's magic at this moment. He took a half step back to avoid any hindrance to Cyrus, and at the same time, he looked at the golden eyes with his peripheral vision.

When he looked into those eyes, he always felt like he was looking into the eyes of a noble thunderbird.

The eyes seemed to show off their nobility. Although their eyes were almost at the same level, Newt felt insignificant as if he was being looked down upon by the other person from above! However, he was not too surprised. In the magic world, there are often one or two people who have more powerful talents than other wizards, such as snake talkers, metamorphmagus, and prophet...

Having a pair of magic eyes, although rare, is not too rare.

Speaking of which, Grindelwald has an unusual eye.

Gradually, the light in Cyrus' eyes seemed to go out, and now when I looked into his eyes, I no longer felt that captivating feeling.

"Any findings?" Newt asked.

Cyrus did not answer. He just picked up the wand and tapped it gently on Mo Mo Ran's body. Then he closed his eyes. It was as if a drop of water fell into a calm lake in his mind. The memories of the four guardians unfolded in his mind.

The scene of Morgana using ancient magic to draw out the painful emotions in her father's heart reappeared over and over again like an old movie, without missing a single detail.

“Emotional stripping.”

There was no spell, just a simple casting. Cyrus raised his wand and seemed to take out a ball of black shrimp thread.

"This is?"

Newt had a look of disgust on his face. The black substance was twisted and tangled like several living parasites, and was covered with pustules.

"It's essential evil." Cyrus said softly.

The thing lingering on the tip of his wand at this moment was the same magic that Voldemort had cast with the help of the goblin Lanlock. It contained extremely powerful magical power, but it did not look that impressive.

Without this part of emotion, Mo Moran lost his vitality as if he had lost his heart. He quickly withered in the ice and turned into mud.

"How did you do that?" Newt asked in surprise.

Even Dumbledore couldn't do this. Even if he could kill the Obscurus, it was impossible for him to extract the darkness from the Obscurus. Otherwise, Cresden would not have perished.

"This is ancient magic."

Cyrus resisted the urge to tilt his head back and swallow the thing, and instead sealed it in a container.

This is a perfect test product! Cyrus doesn't intend to give up the powerful power left by Morgana, but he can't take risks. Now that he has this sample, he can make better preparations to ensure that his soul will not be contaminated by those "malice" while gaining power!
