Chapter 113 Qilin
Chapter 113 Qilin
"Qilin?" Xiven was stunned when he heard the name Newt said. "The ancient auspicious beast Qilin from China?"
Sivan began to take a closer look at the magical animal in Newt's arms.
She has a body like a deer, a tail similar to a calf, four hooves like a cow, and a curved horn embedded in her forehead.
Its whole body is covered with fine scales, and these scales faintly exude a green luster. The orange-red hair extends downward from the top of its head, through its neck and back, until it reaches the end of its tail, like a long cluster of burning flames, which is very beautiful.
Newt gently comforted the little Qilin in his arms, nodded to Xiwen, and said, "It is indeed a magical animal from China."
However, he had different opinions on Xiwen's description, and softly explained the origin information of Qilin: "Although Qilin is very rare, they have always lived in hidden places in China. Therefore, I think it is not unique to the ancient times. The auspicious beast."
"The International Federation of Wizards has been following an ancient tradition - the Way of the Qilin, which uses Qilin to select the president of the Federation." Newt explained to Sivan. "Kirins are magical animals with prophetic powers. They can see into a person's soul and discover whether they are pure of heart."
"The International Federation of Wizards uses this characteristic of Qilin to choose a president with a pure heart."
"It sounds a bit sloppy." Xiwen curled his lips and complained. "And being elected as president probably requires more than just a pure heart. What if Qilin elects a person who has no merit other than kindness to be president?"
"Xi Wen, you underestimate the magical animal like Qilin." Newt said with a smile. "People who are kind but have no ability will not be favored by Qilin. It can be said that all wizards who can be paid tribute by Qilin are super capable and at the same time have a righteous mind."
"There are very few mistakes in the Qilin Way rituals. If it weren't for the fact that the number of Qilin in the world is too rare, I am afraid that the Qilin Way rituals would continue to be passed down."
"So that's it." Xiwen nodded.
Then he thought of something and asked: "So what is Grindelwald doing by arranging his men to snatch the little unicorn? Does he also want to use his identity as a wanted criminal to be elected as the president of the International Federation of Wizards?"
Xiwen laughed as he spoke his thoughts.
However, he soon stopped laughing, because both Newt and Flamel's expressions became serious.
"Can he really be elected president of the federation?" Xiwen opened his mouth in shock.
"Theoretically it's impossible, but what if he bewitched the current president to clear his name?" Flamel said seriously. "We all know that the current president, Anton Vogel, is not very reliable."
Xiven frowned and suddenly asked: "Wait a minute, if Grindelwald can know the location of Qilin because of his ability to foresee the future, then why did Newt suddenly ask me to send him to Guangxi more than a month ago? ?How did Dumbledore know the specific location of the Kirin when he assigned Newt the task?"
"I told Albus, Sivan." Flamel looked at Sivan and said. "Actually, he asked me to divine the approximate location of Qilin before."
"Well, I still have the ability to predict..." Xiwen put his hand on his forehead and sighed. He now felt as if if he didn't know how to predict, the plans of both parties would not be able to advance.
Later, Newt introduced his experience in Guangxi to the three people present.
"...After I helped Qilin's mother give birth to the child, Grindelwald's men suddenly rushed over. I saw Credence, Carlo and Rozier."
Speaking of Rozier, Newt glanced at Sivan.
"I know, it must be my aunt." Sivan shook his head helplessly and motioned for Newt to continue.
"They killed Qilin's mother with several death spells, then knocked me out with a stun spell, and took away the little Qilin who was born first." Newt said emotionally. "But fortunately they overlooked one thing. Qilin's mother gave birth to twins."
Newt pointed to the little Qilin in his arms, and the expression on his face became a little relieved.
"I was afraid that Grindelwald's men would look back and find this little unicorn that was born later, so I had to contact Flamel to ask him to help me find you." Newt said, looking at Sivan. "You happened to be here too and opened the portal for me."
"So were Albus and Grindelwald negligent at the same time this time?" Flamel frowned and said softly. "Albus did not expect that Grindelwald would foresee the unicorn incident and sent his men to snatch the little unicorn away from Newt; and Grindelwald did not foresee the fact that there were two little unicorns, so he gave us a hint Chance."
"I don't quite understand. It is extremely rare for either of them to make an omission. Why did the two of them make an omission at the same time so coincidentally this time?" Xiwen was also very confused about this.
As a result, he opened the dimensional door leading to the office of the Director of Transfiguration.
Dumbledore was staring at the diamond-shaped pendant in his hand behind his desk, and did not even notice Sivan and Newt coming into the office.
"Albus, I brought the little unicorn here." Newt said, holding the unicorn in his arms, interrupting Dumbledore's contemplation.
"Ah, you did a good job!" The interrupted Dumbledore silently hid the blood pact back in his sleeve, and said hello to Sivan, Newt, and the Flamel couple behind the dimensional gate.
"Nick, Perenal, do you want to sit here? You haven't been to Hogwarts for a long time!" he said enthusiastically.
……
The Flamel couple declined Dumbledore's invitation and did not come to Hogwarts through the dimensional gate.
Now, Newt and Sivan were sitting on the two chairs conjured by Dumbledore using the summoning spell, and asked their doubts.
"Because Kirin is not the most important factor, Grindelwald himself is!" Dumbledore explained to the two of them. "Kirin may be able to help him win people's hearts better, but his ideals, his strength and his eloquence are the real ways for him to win people's hearts."
"Newt, Sivan, you must know that external factors can never play a decisive role. We are the only ones who can make the final decision!" Dumbledore looked at Sivan and Newt deeply and solemnly said.
"So why do you want me to go to China to bring Qilin back?" Newt asked in confusion.
"Of course we must strive for external factors that we can strive for." Dumbledore said softly, looking at the diamond-shaped pendant on his wrist.
"Not taking action personally is just the last tacit understanding we maintain."
