Chapter 123 The Price of Being Famous
Chapter 123 The Price of Being Famous
Since David took Jason to ride the fire dragon, Jason never went back.
From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult!
So in the next few days, whenever he had nothing to do, he would come to David to "take care" of Norbert.
As a result, David lived the same "decadent" life as when he first got the illustrated book, except that this time it was not a cat, but a fire dragon.
Such leisurely days lasted about 5 or 6 days, and the sick fire dragon recovered, which meant that David and the others were going home.
In the afternoon when they heard the news, David and Jason went to visit Norber for the last time.
After saying goodbye to it, David rode his broom back to the cabin.
As soon as he entered the door, David noticed that the atmosphere inside was not quite right, as if something had happened, and Charlie, who hadn't seen him for a few days, was also sitting on a chair in the room.
Newt sat next to him, a piece of paper in his hand.
"What's the matter?" David whispered to John who was beside him.
Just as John moved his lips, Newt said, "David, maybe you have to go back alone."
David blinked suspiciously at Newt.
"I just received a letter about the R organization." Newt raised his head and shook the letter in his hand: "We have to go and have a look."
"Is it the research team?" David asked.
"It's not clear yet." Newt said: "The person who sent the message just saw people from the R organization active, so he asked us to go over and have a look, make sure, and see if there are any unexpected discoveries."
David nodded and asked aloud, "Can't I go together?"
"That shouldn't work." Newt shrugged. "Even if I agree, Tina won't agree. If she doesn't agree, then it's useless."
"Oh." David replied disappointedly.
"It's okay, I'll write to you about all the new discoveries." John comforted from the side.
"Thank you," said David, and stepped aside in frustration and sat down.
Newt and the others began to discuss their plan of action.
After sitting for a while, David suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he remembered his agreement with Tina.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" David quickly got up and ran to Newt.
"What's the matter?" Newt stopped talking with Charlie, turned around and asked in confusion.
David drew his wand, and when he was ready, he said, "You cast a spell at me."
Newt frowned, glanced back and forth at David, and said suspiciously: "You don't want to touch porcelain, do you? And then take this opportunity to threaten me to take you there? Let me tell you, it won't work!"
David rolled his eyes: "How is that possible! Just use the Disarming Curse, aren't you afraid of that?"
Newt thought about it, but couldn't think of David's "bad thoughts".
So he tentatively took out his wand, tried his best to control the power of the spell, and sent a very faint red light towards David.
When the red light flew not far in front of him, David whispered: "Armor protection!"
As soon as the red light flew to David's side, it was bounced back instantly.
"Have you learned how to protect yourself with armor?" Newt said in surprise.
Few children as old as David could learn this spell.
"Of course, didn't you read it just now? But no other spell has this effect." Looking at the surprise on the faces of the people in front of him, David couldn't help raising his eyebrows proudly.
"I didn't expect my grandson to be a genius." Newt said with a smile.
"Grandpa, that's not the point, you won't forget our agreement?" David said hastily.
"What agreement?" Newt immediately looked aside, and said as if he had lost his memory.
Your acting skills are not as good as Norbert's!
David roared in his heart, took a step forward, walked behind Newt, lay down, and hung himself on Newt.
"This is what you promised me. If you don't let me go, I won't come down." David looked like a little rascal.
Newt sighed, pondered for a while, and patted David's hand: "Come on down, you can go with you, anyway, Tina promised you, but I have an opinion when the time comes."
"You're awesome." David suddenly raised his head, squeezed Newt's shoulder, and immediately became obedient, listening to their conversation attentively.
After all, he is also involved now, which is different from just now!
Early the next morning, after breakfast, after leaving the dragon farm, Newtra took David to another part of the grassland, followed by John and Charlie.
Charlie's work on the dragon farm was handed over to Jason.
Through the breeze blowing head-on, David can be sure that there must be a sea in front of them.
Because he smelled a faint smell of the sea in the wind.
"Grandpa, where are we going?" David asked curiously.
"Ahem, let's go to the United States from the front." Newt said awkwardly.
David nodded. According to the information in the letter sent to Newt, the people from the R organization are working in a small town in the United States. They need to go there first to find out the situation.
After walking forward for a while, David heard the splash of the sea hitting the shore.
At the same time, he saw a man in a black robe standing on the cliff by the shore, and there seemed to be an iron bucket in front of him?
After they walked in front of the man in black, the man in black raised his head and glanced at them, and said softly, "Where are you going?"
It was David who saw his face clearly. He was a middle-aged man with a full beard. The skin on his face was extremely rough probably because he had been standing by the sea all year round.
"Go to this place, can you reach it?" Charlie took out a note and handed it to the man in black.
The man in black glanced down and immediately said, "Yes, 50."
"50?" Charlie frowned: "Isn't it always 30? You can agree that the price will not increase!"
"That's right, it's always been 30." The man in black said.
"That?" Charlie narrowed his eyes.
"The other 20 is for you to keep secret, do you accept it, Mr. Scamander?" The black-robed man turned his head to look at Newt and said, "The price of being famous, especially for someone like you who is wanted by various countries .”
Newt smiled mischievously, took out a handful of Galleons from his bag, and handed it to the man in black.
That's right, he also had a wanted warrant in the United States, originally in Romania, but the dragon farm needed his help, so the authorities revoked it for him.
Only in this case can he freely enter and exit these countries. As a celebrity, his life is not free anymore!
After hearing what the black-robed man said, Charlie also reacted, and immediately smiled gently at the black-robed man. After all, there are still many places where they can be used in the future!
"David, take my hand," Newt said.
David immediately took Newt's big rough hand, and John and Charlie next to him also put their hands on Newt's shoulder.
"Are you ready?" The man in black robe finished speaking, glanced around, and then said: "3, 2, 1."
While speaking, Newt lifted his foot and stepped on the iron bucket. David was dragged by Newt and fell into the bucket. He felt the pain of using the Portkey again.
