Newt certainly has the right to say that.
He thwarted Grindelwald's plots time and time again because he trusted Dumbledore.
Now they're just a few snowmen.
Dolly nodded, but her mind drifted back to the time when Dumbledore was supposed to use Vulcan to clear the way.
At that time, Dumbledore was still able to use such powerful magic, yet he was already on the countdown to his death.
It can only be said that no one can stop Dumbledore from doing whatever he wants, including himself, even when he wants to face the most meaningful death.
Of the three, Ms. Maxim was the most impatient.
She naturally knew of Dumbledore's great name, but she had never personally witnessed Dumbledore in action.
So she asked Newt, "Do you have any other ideas, such as if we could rely on the French Ministry of Magic to solve this problem after Dumbledore failed?"
"Then you've asked the wrong person, ma'am."
Newt laughed and said, "He must have several alternative plans, but unfortunately he would never tell anyone who is not involved in the plan."
"So be patient and wait, it'll be here soon."
As soon as Newt finished speaking, Dolly looked up abruptly.
She felt a fleeting, skin-tightening force, followed by a burst of firelight like the blazing sun, which shattered Dumbledore's cloud spell.
Even the blizzard seemed to pause because of this scene, as if a fiery red sun had appeared on the mountaintop.
At this moment, Newt and Mrs. Maxim realized what had happened. Maxim exclaimed in surprise, "What on earth did he do? Is he going to burn down the entire snow mountain?"
“That won’t do, because the French Ministry of Magic will definitely cause him trouble, and Dumbledore hates trouble outside of school.”
At this point, Newt's expression suddenly became somewhat guilty.
"Perhaps the effects of the Fire Ash Snakes I adjusted were too strong, producing an effect similar to a gas explosion."
"Do you know what a gas explosion is? It's a term from a Muggle book. I learned it from watching a movie."
"Okay, so I still need to explain the movie. I can explain it in a simpler way..."
Newt took a deep breath and continued, "Under Dumbledore's Goblinsfire, each of my Ash Serpent eggs may have had an effect similar to a spell-based explosion, or even better."
Maxim gasped and said, "What about Dumbledore? He should be alright now, right?"
"He'll be fine, I believe him."
"However, compared to him, we might need to hide for a while first."
Before Maxim could react, Newt had already pointed to the orange-red flames in the sky.
As Dumbledore's spell finished, the fire ignited all the ash snake eggs.
These Fire Serpent eggs were specially modified by Newt, so the Ancient Flame did not directly destroy them, but instead turned them into fireworks that exploded.
Then it created a moment of blazing sun, the power of which even brought the storm on the snow-capped mountain to a standstill.
But if that were all, aside from Newt's misjudgment of the dosage, which nearly burned Dumbledore's beard and eyebrows, Dolly and her two companions shouldn't have posed any threat whatsoever.
In fact, the conflict should have ended when the firework-like flames split and disappeared in the air.
However, as a result, even more fire ash snakes were born under the influence of this magic, many of them even being born directly in the air, and then twisting and snaking down from the sky like fire meteors falling from the heavens.
Just as if that cluster of orange-red flames had become their nest, the fire ash snakes drifted away in all directions like drifting catkins.
Despite being in a snowy mountain environment, it seems as if the Fire Gray Snakes are the main characters on stage.
Dolly had some doubts about their power, but when she saw swarms of fire ash snakes land, melting the snow on the ground and even scorching rocks and emitting black smoke, she finally believed Newt's words.
Perhaps a single wizard simply cannot and should not be able to change the environment of the entire snow mountain.
However, if Dumbledore were to create a large number of fire serpents using his most powerful magic, then perhaps it would be possible.
This may not obey the law of conservation of energy, but it is magical enough.
Who can blame them when the ancient celestial fire is itself an inextinguishable flame?
Even Dolly suspected that the lifespans of the Fire-Ash Serpents, which were hatched and even created by the Ancient Flame of the Ancient Flame, were still as short as before.
Could it have turned into a legendary magical creature that will never die?
As if seeing through Dolly's worries, Newt looked distressed, lamenting for his adorable little animal, and said, "I wonder how many more Firesnake eggs we can find later."
"The fire ash snakes created by powerful magic have low reproductive desires, but their lifespans have not increased much."
"Merlin's beard, perhaps it is a manifestation of some kind of natural truth."
Dolly, Newt, and Maxim then emerged from the shelter.
Newt's judgment proved to be correct; although the Grub's Flame itself would never go out, this trait was not so easily inherited.
Not to mention that what attempted to inherit this characteristic was a short-lived elemental magical creature that didn't even have a physical form.
So even though these erupting fire serpents interrupted the avalanches, disturbed the snowmen, and even made the snow-capped mountains uneven and pitted, it was as if they were sweeping across the mountaintops with heat bombs.
In just a few days, this place will revert to its original state, the state created by nature, a peaceful and harmonious ski resort.
Dolly made this judgment because she saw the snowmen desperately trying to cover the flames with snow, turning them into fire ash snakes, and this method was effective.
If there were fewer Fire Serpents, the Yetis might actually be able to control the situation.
Unfortunately, the snowmen were not facing hundreds or thousands of fire ash snakes, but tens of thousands of them, which covered the entire mountain.
Even if the snowman can easily kill a few fire ash snakes, it will soon be burned by more fire ash snakes until its fur turns black, and then it will howl like a ghost.
A single Fire Gray Snake is no match for the Yetis, but there are too many Fire Gray Snakes, and the Yetis' fur is also a highly flammable material.
Snowmen in icy and snowy environments don't need to worry about catching fire at all.
Even if your body catches fire due to the wizard's spell, you can simply roll on the ground or burrow into the snow, and it will all be over.
But now, not only has the problem that shouldn't be a concern occurred, it has also turned into a problem that the Yetis must solve immediately. Soon, the Fire Ash Serpent will become a source of suffering that the Yetis must face.
Even the strongest snowman warrior is now too preoccupied to care about Dolly and the other two.
"See? I told you the effect would be great."
Newt beamed with joy, but then his smile vanished.
Although he defeated the Yeti with the Fire Serpent, it was neither the Fire Serpent nor the Yeti that was injured, which is not consistent with his attitude towards magical creatures.
However, although Newt is full of love for magical creatures, he is not a saint who loves animals more than humans without any limits, so he calmly said, "Dolly, you go back by yourself."
"Ms. Maxim and I went to help Dumbledore, and now it's just a matter of finishing up."
Dolly, however, flew up on her broomstick and said, "Mr. Scamander, I was involved in such a dangerous situation just now, and now you want me to rest?"
"Can't I witness the whole process?"
"To be honest, I'd also like to see the effects of your combined skills with Professor Dumbledore."
After saying that, Dolly flew straight up to the top of the snow-capped mountain, where Dumbledore was.
Dolly grew increasingly alarmed as she looked.
Although Dolly herself said it was a combination of Dumbledore and Newt's techniques.
It also utilizes the characteristics of magical creatures, in addition to the magical fire that Dumbledore mastered in his early years.
It's possible that Dumbledore even used the Elder Wand, though this is just Dolly's speculation.
This can indeed be considered Dumbledore's all-out effort, and the effect of such an effort is almost equivalent to Voldemort breaking through Hogwarts' magical defenses by himself in the original book.
Or perhaps it's the kind of aura that Grindelwald would have, burning all of London to ashes with his flames.
Looking down from above, the entire mountaintop had become a battlefield for the Fire-Gray Serpents and the Yetis.
Keep in mind that this is the summit of a snow-capped mountain. If it were any other environment, let alone whether the snowmen could win.
Even the survival of the Yetis, and indeed everything on the mountainside except for inorganic matter, would become a huge problem.
Dolly thought about it seriously. Even if she maxed out one of her spells and magic power, she definitely wouldn't have such a range and effect with a single spell.
Indeed, magic is a vast and profound subject, far more than just the few spells taught in class.
However, now is not the time to think about such things. Soon, Dolly saw the truth about the so-called ruins.
There are indeed ruins on the snow-capped mountaintop, ancient ruins.
But this ruin is not a castle or some kind of magical wonder; it is simply a cave.
The cave was filled with blue ice inside and out, and standing at the entrance was a snowman with blue fur, fighting against Dumbledore.
To be precise, it throws all sorts of things at Dumbledore and occasionally directs ice and snow to attack him with strange dances.
However, Dumbledore skillfully evaded all of these attacks, and he didn't even use any spells carelessly.
This wasn't because Dumbledore didn't have much magic left, but because he was observing the blue-haired snowman with suspicion, and he sensed a strange power emanating from it.
Even Dumbledore's curiosity was aroused, which shows that this snowman is indeed something special.
Dolly, however, didn't seem to care much about this, and simply replied, "Professor, if this doesn't end soon, many snowmen might die."
If the snowmen continue to fight the fire serpent like this, many of them will not be able to withstand the power of the flames and the changes in the environment.
Even now, the Yeti seems to be an enemy that must be eliminated.
But Dumbledore hadn't forgotten that, theoretically, the Yeti was a protected animal of the French Ministry of Magic.
In other words, he really did kill a large number of Yetis, and the French Ministry of Magic could detain Dumbledore again under the pretext of animal protection.
Of course, the French Ministry of Magic wouldn't think that far ahead, but Dumbledore wouldn't want to leave such a stain on his reputation.
Then Dumbledore spoke, but his words were in an archaic and awkward language, so much so that they could hardly be called a language at all.
But soon the blue-haired snowman slowed down, as if it was considering something.
Those bright eyes showed that it possessed wisdom far exceeding that of its kind, and recognized just how dangerous the current situation was.
If it weren't for protecting the cave behind it, it would have already escaped with its still-living companions.
Just then, Newt and Maxim also carefully Apparated up.
No more snowmen bothered them along the way; instead, they had to avoid the fire ash snakes.
This pleased Newt, but it also made him realize that the conflict had to be ended, which was one of the reasons he came.
So Newt took on the important task of communicating with the Yeti leader. Compared to Dumbledore's broken and archaic language, Newt directly used his hands and feet and even started dancing.
