Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts Illustrated Book

Chapter 142 Rocky Mountains
On September [-]st, just like the mood of all the students, the weather today was extremely hot. Even the ants on the road disliked the hot soil and retreated into their holes to enjoy the cool.

The Hogwarts Express was galloping between the mountains and fields, and the sun shone red on it, like a red python rushing forward.

In a small compartment inside the train, Hermione bent her hands against the window to support her head, her eyes were absent-mindedly looking at the uninterrupted scrolls of pictures outside the window.

"Hermione, where do you think David and Harry are going?"

Neville couldn't bear the silent atmosphere in the cubicle, so he whispered.

Neville was sent to platform nine and a quarter early in the morning by his grandmother.

Neville thought he could see his friends again, to escape the loneliness of the holiday.

But to his disappointment, he searched all over the platform and the workshop, and only found Hermione who was waiting for someone at the entrance of the train.

David, Harry, and Ron seemed to have disappeared from the world without a trace.

As the train was leaving, he and Hermione bumped into brothers Fred and George who were rushing at the entrance of the train.

Oh, and the beautiful, sweet little Weasley girl: Ginny.

Neville now clearly remembers the scene at that time.

Hermione asked Fred, "Harry and Ron weren't with you?"

"How come! Aren't they in the back?" Fred took a breath and looked back, with a panic expression on his face: "George, Harry and Ron were kidnapped!"

"What, where are the culprits?" George threw his suitcase aside as if throwing trash, pulled out his wand, stuck it against the inner wall of the carriage, and looked around vigilantly.

"They may have used the Disillusionment Charm, be careful." Fred leaned on the other side with the same movement: "Harry and our dear brother can only be saved by us!"

Upon hearing this, George and Fred looked at each other, and the two nodded their heads in tacit understanding at the same time.

Ginny on the side regained her composure at this moment, her eyes became as red as her face, and her lips trembled slightly: "Harry was kidnapped?"

Apparently, Ron, who disappeared with Harry, had been automatically filtered out by her.

"Oh, no, no, we're kidding, Harry and Ron must be right behind, they're just a little slower." Seeing that Ginny was about to cry, Fred immediately put away his wand and said solemnly.

"Yes, they must be behind. You also know that Harry and Ron are not too tall. It's normal for them to walk slowly." George comforted.

The tears in the corners of Ginny's eyes were held back a bit, but they soon came out one after another. She pointed her finger at the shaking carriage, and cried, "But the train is almost leaving!"

Fred and George were a little overwhelmed when they saw Ginny's tears. At this time, Percy had already left, and he needed to maintain order in the car.

Fred immediately looked at Hermione for help, hoping that she would comfort Ginny.

Hermione glared at Fred angrily, walked to Ginny's side and said softly: "Don't worry, Harry and the others are fine, they may just be delayed by something, and when Mrs. Weasley finds them or They write a letter to the school and they will get there safely."

Ginny nodded her head slightly, and slowly raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.

Fred and George breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and said to Hermione in unison: "Hermione, I will leave Ginny to you, thank you!"

After speaking, the two Fred brothers fled away like a gust of wind.

Back to the present, Hermione didn't seem to hear Neville's question clearly, she turned her head and said, "What?"

Neville could only repeat again: "David and Harry, where are they going?"

Ginny fixed her gaze on Hermione too.

Hermione sighed, a trace of worry flashed across her face: "I don't know either"

She hadn't heard from David since he had written her that he was going to Romania.

And when she wrote to David, it was Tina who replied, she said they were still at the dragon farm and hadn't come back.

After asking Tina for the address of the dragon farm, she also wrote several letters there, but there was no news.

So Hermione could only write to Tina again and again, asking David if they had come back.

But she didn't hear any good news from Tina until the eve of school.

Hermione came to the platform early this morning with great anticipation, thinking she would see David right away.

Even Hermione had figured out how to deal with him in her mind:
I wrote him a total of 36 letters, so I had to hit him 36 times!
It's a pity that God didn't seem to want her to punish David, and Hermione didn't see him until the train started.

"Look, that looks like Harry!" Ginny shouted suddenly, pointing out the window.

Her face was filled with two emotions of surprise and worry at the same time.

Hermione came out of her thoughts and looked out along Ginny's fingers.

A dilapidated car was speeding on the slope of the train, looking in from the window of the driver's cab, Ron's figure could barely be seen.

"How can the two of them do it! They will be expelled from school if they are discovered!" Hermione said angrily.

"But...at least they're safe now, right?" Neville muttered, looking out the window.

The expression on Hermione's face froze, and the anger in her heart dissipated a lot.

Yep, at least they're safe now.
But what about David?
Where is he now?

is he safe

In the hall of the manor, David and nearly forty other people were wearing masks and standing in the center of the hall.

Pavel stood in front of them, his mouth moving tirelessly.

But it was all nonsense, and none of it was useful.

Taking advantage of his breathing space, David turned his head and glanced out, the sun was just right.

Hermione and the others should be on the train to Hogwarts by now, right?
David thought to himself.

"What are you looking at?"

Tariq looked along David's wooden pipe, but saw nothing.

"The weather is nice today."

After David finished speaking, he continued to listen to Pavel's speech. Although it didn't have much nutrition, it could pass the time, right?

Tariq glanced at David suspiciously, then looked out the window, but there was still nothing.

But the weather is really good, Tariq estimated that he would have to take off a few catties of oil when he went out to bask in the sun for a while.

But he didn't want to lose this treasure that he had managed to eat so easily.

But no way!
Tarek sighed, staring blankly ahead.

"Everyone is ready, please set off, I wish you all the best!"

Pavel finally finished his speech, and the spirits of the people present gradually became active.

A person near the front stepped forward, picked up a golden circle on the table, and there was a letter R in the center of the circle.

The people behind put their hands on the shoulders of the person in front one by one, forming a long line.

"I wish you success in your operation."

Pavel smiled and waved to everyone.

At this moment, there was a gust of wind in David's ears, the ring just now was a portkey.

When the wind died down, David felt a tinge of heat, but it was bearable.

He opened his eyes and found that he was in a desert, and the soil was roasted by the sun, emitting a deep orange color.

Looking into the distance, huge cactus stands in the shadow of the cliff.

Other than that, there are only a few clusters of weeds that add a bit of business here, making the place look less bleak.

Looking at the surrounding scenes, David couldn't help but think of a line engraved deep in his DNA:
The desert is solitary and straight, and the long river falls into the sun.

But obviously not everyone can appreciate this poetic and picturesque feeling.
"Do you know where this is? Isn't this too bald?"

Tariq wiped the sweat that had begun to trickle from his brow.

Although the weather wasn't too hot, it was still a bit unbearable for a severely obese person like him.

"Did you hear a place name from Pavel's words?" David replied.

"No, that guy has been talking nonsense from beginning to end, and he's been talking for so long, why doesn't he run for president? It's a shame to be the boss of a broken organization!" Tariq said angrily.

"That's it." After David finished speaking, he raised his head forward twice: "I guess he knows, why don't you ask him?"

A giant man nearly two meters tall stood in front of the line, holding a map in his hands bigger than David's face.

At this moment, he was concentrating on finding the location on the map where they should go next.

A trace of fear flashed across Tariq's face, but it was cleverly blocked by the mask.

"Actually. I don't think it matters if I know it or not." Tariq looked at another place and said softly.

Are you so afraid of him?
David frowned slightly.

The giant man in front of him should be the Yaen that Pavel was talking about.

He was just temporarily arranged this morning, and Pavel asked him to be the leader of David's team, that is, the head.

But I need to know where this is!

There are many magical animals living in this desert. Without knowing the specific place name, David, it is difficult for him to determine what they are hunting.

It is also difficult to prepare in advance.

David breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Yan's side, and said in an indifferent tone as much as possible: "Where is the head here? It seems that I have been here before."

Yan raised his eyes and glanced at David, and David immediately felt a chill in his heart.

It's like a wild animal that has just killed someone and has blood dripping from its mouth is hiding in the dark and staring at you.

David took a step back involuntarily.

"Arizona." A dull and hoarse voice came out of Ion's throat, like the roar of a wild animal: "How is it? Do you know the way?"

"Oh, sorry, I'm going to New Mexico, where there is an area that also belongs to this plateau."

After finishing speaking, David retreated to Tariq's side, his back already dripping with cold sweat.

"How? That guy is kind of scary, right?"

Tariq's tone was a little gloating.

David ignored him, thinking silently in his mind.

Arizona?
Colorado Plateau?

What magical animals are here?
And is it worth their fuss?
etc.
David looked up to the southeast.

There are the Rocky Mountains, the most vibrant place in Arizona.

It is also home to a powerful bird of prey.

Are they going to get Frank?

A bad feeling rose in David's heart.

Yan in front seemed to have determined his position, and he folded the drawings in his hand into small squares and put them in his arms.

"Follow me!"

Ion took out his broom and flew southeast.

Their target is really Frank.
David sighed inwardly, stepped on the broom and followed.

Flying over a flat desert and crossing a grand canyon formed by cutting rocks, the green on the ground gradually increased.

About an hour later, David saw many rolling mountains in front of him from a distance, and there was a big river winding forward in the middle of the mountains.

Yan led the people to fly to the woods by the river, looking at the sparkling lake in front of them, the heat in everyone's hearts dissipated a lot.

"Rest here now, we will pass in the evening."

After speaking, Yan sat down on the ground, took out a book and began to read.

David glanced at it, and there were some cartoon villains drawn on it.

If he guessed correctly, Yan should be reading children's picture books.

The corners of David's mouth couldn't help moving. I can't tell that Ian is quite childlike, which doesn't match his cannibalistic eyes at all.

A wizard wearing a swallow-tailed dog mask next to Yan saw everyone find their seats, so he got up and began to distribute food to everyone.

When the sky was gradually turning red, Yaen carefully put away the drawing book in his hand, got up and said something to set off, and he just rode on the broom and flew forward.

This made everyone unable to take any measures. Some of them were still resting with their eyes closed. After being woken up by the people next to them, they hurriedly took out their brooms and followed Ian.

After flying into the mountains for a while, the forest below gradually became denser.

Moreover, the surrounding air was also filled with water vapor, making it somewhat humid.

Coming.
David thought to himself, looking up, it was a straight cliff that seemed to be cut with a blade.

Two-thirds of the cliff, there is a cave dug out with a spoon, and a huge lair can be faintly seen inside.

That's Thunderbird: Frank's home, which Newt helped him build, and Newt also helped it find a wife so that he could thrive here.

"Stop, let's walk over."

With a move, Yan took the lead and flew towards the dense forest.

The Thunderbird is a magical animal that is highly sensitive to danger. If they approach from the air again, the Thunderbird will definitely spot them.

When it fell to the ground, David immediately smelled a rotten smell, mixed with the smell of dead branches and leaves and some animal corpses.

Moreover, the ground has become extremely wet and slippery. Every step you take, you have to think about the foothold of the next step, otherwise even if you are a wizard, you will fall on your back.

Most of these are thanks to the Thunderbird. When it soars in the sky, as long as it wants, it can call storms and dense black clouds, bringing sufficient rainfall to this land and satisfying the growth of surrounding plants. need.

But there are also shortcomings. If it is in a bad mood, this mountain range will continuously rain down, washing everything on the ground.

Fortunately, there is an open-minded Colorado River below the mountain to melt its violent temper and let it cause less damage.
