Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 85: Snake Bite on Lady Delacour



"Wait, if you put it this way." Newt raised his eyebrows, "The mastermind behind the scenes shouldn't be able to enter the ruins."

"The ruins have very vague judgments about non-humans. To be precise, they set restrictions on pure humans." Mr. Delacour looked at his wife gently, "And half-human hybrids are not subject to this restriction. "

"I think you two should also know that I am half Veela blood and half human." Mrs. Delacour on the bed took over her husband's words, "And I live near here, so for various reasons Because of this, I must take the responsibility of investigating the ruins.”

Dudley heard the hidden meaning in Mrs. Delacour's words. Since the ruins can only be accessed by non-humans, Mrs. Delacour, who is a Veela hybrid and lives nearby, is a serious suspect.

In order to clear her suspicions, even though she knew there might be danger, Mrs. Delacour had to obey the Ministry of Magic's request to help investigate the ruins and catch the murderer as soon as possible.

"Originally I thought it was just a simple investigation mission. After all, due to the restrictions of the ruins, it is impossible for the murderer to bring his companions into the ruins." A frightened expression appeared on Mrs. Delacour's pale face, "But when I entered the ruins "I immediately realized that this mission was more dangerous than I thought."

"First of all, there are various mechanisms and traps. The ruins that have not been set foot on for more than a thousand years still retain various dangerous and complex mechanisms."

"Then there are all kinds of dangerous creatures... and non-living things! I saw some bugs that I have never seen before, and I was even attacked by a group of mummies wearing ancient armor but moving freely!"

Hearing the words dangerous creatures, Newt's eyes flashed with interest and curiosity, but he immediately concealed this inappropriate emotion.

"Finally, when I came to the depths of the ruins, I heard an earth-shattering dragon roar - it's hard for me to describe in words how shocking the sound was."

"Then with this loud noise, the light source at the top of the wand in my hand went out, and I felt some terrifying creature staring at me in the darkness, so I made a decisive decision and immediately turned back and ran towards the exit of the ruins... "

"But I still couldn't run fast enough. When I broke through the obstruction of the mummy group, my foot was bitten by an unknown creature. But I couldn't see its appearance clearly in the dark. I just wanted to leave the ruins and see each other again as soon as possible. To my family…”

At this point, Mrs. Delacour was breathing lightly. It was obvious that she was very tired from talking so much.

"I was waiting for Apolline outside the ruins. I was frightened when I saw her injured." Mr. Delacour gently held his wife's hand, his eyes full of love and sadness, "No matter what we use What a magic spell, but it just can't heal her wound, she can only watch it worsen day by day..."

"So Madam didn't see the creature that bit you clearly in the end." Newt frowned and closed his eyes as if thinking about something, "The inference that he might have been bitten by a dragon was based on the dragon's roar. .....”

"I roughly guessed what might have happened at that time - first of all, this wound was obviously not caused by a dragon-like animal." Newt opened his eyes and said decisively.

"Dudley, you just said that the rope wrapped around Norberta's tail was made by Nagini from the snake skin she shed." Newt looked at Dudley, "Help me bring it in. It’s the key to curing Madame Delacour!”

When Dudley returned to the room with half of the long snakeskin rope, Newt hurriedly got out of the leather bag, holding a small bottle in his hand.

"Mrs. Delacour, it may hurt a little, please bear with it for a moment." Newt carefully poured the medicine in his hand on the wound. In the next moment, there was a sizzling sound like the skin was being burned. , a line of green smoke rose from Mrs. Delacour's feet.

"Healed as before!" Newt pulled out his wand and pointed at the smoking wound.

With Newt's healing spell, the rotten and blackened flesh on Mrs. Delacour's feet quickly regenerated and returned to smooth skin.After a while, the injury on Mrs. Delacour's foot improved significantly, but the two deep bloody holes were still horrifyingly present.

"Apolline!" Seeing that Newt's treatment had an effect, Mr. Delacour held his wife's hand happily, and the latter also had a surprised smile on his face.

But their joy did not last long. From the two gloomy blood holes as the center, black traces of decay seemed to begin to spread again.

Newt immediately took the half-length snakeskin rope from Dudley's hand, tied the wound tightly with extremely quick and skillful techniques, then pointed with his wand and muttered something.

Miraculously, after wrapping the long snakeskin rope, the spread of the black marks stopped.

"This is snake venom, and it also contains extremely powerful black magic." Newt explained to Dudley, "However, in many cases, part of the caster's own body is an important way to dispel or inhibit black magic... "

Dudley heard the meaning of Newt's words and whispered: "Mr. Scamander, what do you mean-"

"Yes," Newt stood up and sighed, "Judging from the current situation, it is basically certain that the one who bit Mrs. Delacour was Nagini!"

"What?" After hearing Newt's words, Fleur stood up excitedly.

Furong's beautiful cheeks turned red with anger, and her voice trembled slightly with anger: "Is Nagini the woman who just attacked us on the rooftop of the hotel with the people from the witch-hunting organization?"

"But the wounds on my mother's feet were clearly caused by animals..."

"Nagini is a blood-cursed orc who can switch between snake and human forms." Dudley said gloomily, "I see, if mixed blood can be considered non-human, then Nagini will have no problem entering the ruins. .”

"Who is Nagini? Is she the one who hurt my wife?" Mr. Delacour also stood up and asked Newt hurriedly.

"Calm down first, everyone." Newt comforted Mr. Delacour. "Although your wife's injury has been controlled, she still needs time to recover. The matter about Nagini is more complicated to explain. For now, let's give it a try. Your wife, please have a good rest."

After hearing Newt's words, Mr. Delacour took a deep breath to calm down, and nodded while looking at his wife, whose face was gradually turning rosy.

"Anyway, Mr. Scamander, I will never forget your kindness in saving my wife." Mr. Delacour held Newt's hand gratefully, "I will make arrangements for you later. Two guest rooms——”

"One room is enough, Mr. Delacour." Newt patted the leather bag beside him and smiled, "My assistant is a little afraid of light, so he would sleep more soundly in a place with better light isolation. "
