Chapter 54: The Ilvermorny Airship

This summer, Britain is destined to be turbulent, but it will not affect Rove in the United States for the time being.

Throughout July, he followed Newt throughout Arizona, measuring this ancient land with his feet.

As a protected area, there are a large number of ptarmigans living here... fat, thin, graceful, and even the pickiest magizoologist can find a cute little one that suits him here.

In addition to thunderbirds, there are countless magical creatures living here: bark scorpions that can photosynthesize; rock-eating monitor lizards; snake girls who seduce boys and take their virginity...

Rolf saw them all, especially the Snake Girl. He even followed Newt and discovered a brand new magical fish in the cave of the Grand Canyon.

Newt wrote a special paper to introduce this new species and submitted it to the top journal in the wizarding world, Fantastic Beasts. Rolf also published a second work.

He has indeed made a significant contribution, not just making a fool of himself.

Luo Fu wakes up early every day, makes a nest with ingredients, and stays in the dark cave to record data... This is all meticulous work!

Newt is also working on a new book, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them , a companion volume to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them .

Although Tina always complained and asked Newt to write quickly because the toilet at home was out of paper, the quality of the book was actually very high.

Many of the photos in the book were taken by Rove at close range.

Sometimes, in order to capture the scene of animal mating, he even went shirtless to help... guide.

In addition to observing magical creatures, Rove will also deal with thieves, most of whom are wizards smuggled from neighboring Mexico.

But twenty years later, under the supervision of the man named Trump, a border wall about ten meters high will be built here to prevent Mexican civilians from smuggling across the border.

In addition to the rich activities, Rolf still worked hard to learn medical skills from Newt.

He wants to treat the cataracts of Hagrid's Acromantula Aragog, which is related to whether he can become Hogwarts'... Spider-Man.

In this leisurely time, Rove lived an extremely fulfilling life, but something quickly disrupted his rhythm.

He received a letter.

The person who sent the letter was Dumbledore, and the person who delivered the letter was the Headmaster of Ilvermorny... Eulalie Hicks.

Sitting on the chair, Luofu fell into silence after reading the letter several times.

"What did Albus say in the letter?" Newt asked, a little surprised that Dumbledore wasn't writing to him.

So unusual!

"Professor Dumbledore said Peter Pettigrew... escaped from prison."

Rolf handed the letter to Newt, with a complicated look on his face. If Sirius didn't escape from prison, it would be Pettigrew's turn to escape from prison, right?

This could make Peter run away, Fudge is such a loser.

Luofu cursed a few times, and sighed: "I have to go back to England immediately."

"Rolph, why are you going back?" Tina was a little reluctant to let go of her precious grandson. She asked:

"Is the British Ministry of Magic so incompetent that you have to go back as a child to catch the Death Eaters?"

"Grandma, I'm not going back to catch Peter, but to protect Shirley and Hermione." Rolf explained softly:

"When I was interrogating Peter, the two of them stood by and watched. Peter knew that they were my friends. I was not in the UK, and he might go to them for revenge."

Rolf sighed: "Although Professor Dumbledore has sent wizards to protect them, I am still a little worried."

Peter has escaped now. With his cowardly character, he should not dare to come back for revenge, but who can completely guarantee this kind of thing?

Luofu didn't want to regret it after something happened. That was not his style.

Dumbledore also knew about this and wrote to him.

"Then hurry up and pack your things. I'm going to visit Beauxbatons, and I'm going to Hogwarts on the way." Professor Hicks said with a slight smile:

"Little Scamander, I'll take you there!"

"How are we going, Professor?" Rolf asked curiously: "Take the Mayflower?"

"No." Hicks shook his head, pointed to the sky and said, "Let's sit on that thing!"

Luofu looked up at the sky. A cylindrical airbag more than fifty meters was floating in the air. There was an aluminum pod below. It was a huge...

airship!

Seeing the young man frowning, Hicks asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Is it safe?" Luo Fu asked worriedly: "It won't explode, right?"

"..."

In fact, it's no wonder that Rove was so nervous. As an airship that was once as famous as an airplane, it is indeed known for being unsafe.

The principle of an airship is to fill the airbag with buoyant gas that is less dense than air to generate buoyancy and lift it into the air.

For a long time, the air bags were filled with flammable and explosive hydrogen.

Most people will be frightened when they drive by a gas tank truck, afraid that it will explode. When hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of hydrogen are placed above their heads... it would be strange not to be afraid!

The famous Zeppelin airship "Hindenburg" suddenly caught fire and burned while carrying passengers, killing dozens of people.

But after all, it is a magic airship, and its safety should be significantly improved.

Rolf quickly packed his things, carried the black suitcase, and said goodbye to Newt and Tina.

Margery wasn't here, she had recently returned to New York, and they had to say goodbye through a two-way mirror.

Rolf followed Hicks along a staircase toward the airship. When he looked up, he could see the air bag being fully inflated, like a sleeping whale.

Also on the airbag are letters several feet high:

Ilvermorny.

This airship is Ilvermorny's means of transportation, and can carry many students for long-distance travel.

Entering the cabin, Rolf entered a large living room with a large chandelier above his head and a table in the middle, on which were crystal goblets and a large plate of fruit.

As a wizard untied the anchor cable, the propeller began to turn, and the giant machine slowly rose, with the valve creaking and exhaling.

Rolf sat in a chair and looked through the window to see the airship slowly take off and plunge into the thick clouds. Looking out the window, the scenery was extremely magnificent.

Rolf admired it for about half an hour, and the cabin suddenly shook.

The floor tilted briefly, almost imperceptibly sinking to the east, and the wind changed from occasional gusts to a low whistle that never stopped.

Soon, a wizard rushed in and explained, "Professor Hicks, it's a thunderbird, it's attacking the airship."

Rove: "..."

"Got it." Hicks poured herself a glass of lemonade, she looked at the boy and asked, "Rove, are you scared?"

"Yes, professor." Rove said frankly, "Sitting under hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of hydrogen does make me a little anxious."

"The airbag will be fine." Professor Hicks took a sip of lemonade, she comforted:

"The lightning of the thunderbird will only bypass the leather boat and roast us sitting in this giant lightning rod."

"..."

"Thank you for your comfort, professor!"

"You're welcome."
