Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

"This is a complicated matter... Ryan."

After hearing this, Newt said with some embarrassment.

"Queenie... well, she's my wife's sister. She used to be a saint—of course, she turned over a new leaf and left the Wiccan Party..."

"But she and Rozier have kept in touch. She said that Rozier had done a lot of wrong things, but after all, he had helped her... and we just need such a bridge to understand the actions of the Saints."

He muttered to himself.

"Anyway, after Grindelwald...died, Tina asked Rosier about the Saints."

"Rosier told her that if the great Gellert Grindelwald chose to go to the other side of the veil, then all they would have to do was see him off and wait for him to conquer death and return."

When Newt said this, Ryan was naturally a little stunned.

He certainly didn't expect Newt to tell him such explosive news.

First up is Grindelwald's death.

"I chose to go to the other side of the curtain..."

There is no doubt that this news represents many meanings and is of great significance!

This also explains Ryan's previous curiosity - Grindelwald did not die of illness or old age, but simply made a choice.

Just like... Nicolas Flamel and his wife!

And besides that...

Newt Scamander, the key figure in defeating Grindelwald, his sister-in-law was actually a saint?

"Your sister-in-law really has a wide circle of friends."

Ryan muttered.

"But what do the Saints think? How should I put it? They seem to think Grindelwald is a phoenix?"

Conquer death and come back again?

They actually believe such an incredible thing?

"Oh, they believe Grindelwald can do anything... and in fact, it's almost true. He is a very capable man."

Newt said.

He seemed to recall the things that happened in the past, and his tone was a little emotional.

And Ryan wasn't surprised.

Legendary wizards always have their own unique charm - this is also the reason why they can become "legends"!

But then he changed the subject: "What about you?"

"You believe what Rozier said, so you think the attackers this time won't be the Saints?"

He said so.

"Yes."

Newt admitted it openly.

"It's hard to describe, Ryan."

His tone was somewhat complicated.

He certainly did not agree with the ideas of Grindelwald and the Saints, and had even fought against them in the past without fear of life and death.

But he had to admit that Grindelwald and his saints...

"They are not the kind of thugs you think, who only know how to destroy. Of course, they have committed many atrocities, but they are more... ambitious!"

"It makes them more determined, but also more dangerous."

Newt talked about the battle in the Death Hall just now.

"Trust me, Ryan—if we were facing real Saints, none of them would try to escape."

"Even if you displayed the ancient magic of Hufflepuff, even if you were under the power of Friday... they would rush forward and try to tear at your flesh, if it would weaken you even a little bit for their leader."

Having said that, Ryan vaguely understood.

It was just like his evaluation of Grindelwald and Voldemort - the former was an extremely dangerous and ambitious person, while the latter... was simply a terrorist.

The supporters of the former are a group of people with common ideals.

The latter's supporters are just a bunch of thugs.

And it is obvious that although the people who attacked the Department of Mysteries were well-trained, they could only be the latter at best.

"Well, you've convinced me."

So Ryan was persuaded.

He believed what Newt said - the attackers this time might not be the Saints.

So...

"Why do they use the 'banner' of the Saints? Who are their true identities?"

Ryan murmured to himself.

And soon, he had a secret guess.

"Yes—the answer is not difficult to guess. The Aurors haven't arrived yet... In fact, it's already obvious. It just needs some supporting evidence..."

he muttered.

But at this moment, Newt had already drawn his wand.

After making an appointment with Ryan about Friday, he was obviously in high spirits.

"The other party is indeed very cautious, but..."

"I do have an idea about how to find him."

He raised his wand.

"Hominum Revelio"

Accompanied by the recitation of the spell.

Golden ripples spread from the tip of his wand.

Then, in the dark planet hall, countless footprints began to appear out of thin air.

They are densely packed, some are big and some are small.

Ryan wasn't surprised to see this—a Tracking Spell, a regular tracking spell.

But it was obvious that the enemy had set up an anti-tracking spell in advance...those dense footprints were the evidence!

But at this moment, Newt's actions have not stopped.

He extended his wand—and pointed it at his nose.

Then...

Ryan saw the old wizard's nose begin to sniff.

He seemed to be simply sniffing, but...

"Ok?"

At this moment, Ryan felt that magic power was gathering on the tip of Newt's nose.

Ryan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He could sense the magic gathering as Newt's nose moved, but the structure of that magic was something Ryan had never seen before.

That configuration is not like the fixed spell configuration that modern wizards usually cast.

It is not like the ancient spells, which continuously add and integrate their own unique structure on top of the simple spell configuration.

At this moment, the magic on the tip of Newt's nose seemed to come alive - it kept changing, like blood flowing.

Ryan is no stranger to this.

"Fantastic Beasts!?"

He could barely conceal his astonishment.

"Oh, just a few tips, Ryan..."

When Newt saw Ryan's expression, he smiled and said.

"Even when I was young, I felt that some magical animals had a very keen sense of smell, especially the long-nosed sea lions... Their sense of smell is not only sensitive, but they can also distinguish between true and false, and good and bad luck."

"I've spent my whole life with magical creatures, Ryan...it's only natural that they will give me something in return."

He smiled and continued to sniff in a certain direction.

His words were humble, even simple.

But Ryan didn't really think that what Newt Scamander showed at this moment was really simple.

He could see what the special magical structure Newt had created on his nose symbolized.

Just as mentioned before - magical animals, and some special magical races, their special magical abilities have not yet been mastered by wizards.

For example, the Apparition of a phoenix or house-elf, the ability of a Zouwu to travel a thousand miles a day, or the death gaze of a basilisk.

They are all abilities unique to magical creatures themselves.

But now... Newt has actually done something similar with the help of his research on magical beasts.

Admittedly, his sense of smell when imitating a long-nosed sea lion may not be as good as that of a real long-nosed sea lion. He just roughly strengthened some of his own sense of smell through imitation.

But even so...

“This is also a legendary road!”

Ryan knew it well - this meant that Newt had embarked on his own legendary path.

Of course, he might not be able to push this path to its limit in his lifetime, and he might not be able to touch the essence of magic and become a legendary wizard in his lifetime.

but...

The fact that he found his own path is enough to prove his excellence!
