Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts Illustrated Book

Chapter 124 Jobs Tavern

After the sound of the wind disappeared, David stood firm, opened his eyes and looked around.

They were on a small hill with no signs of human activity around them.

"Where are we going now, sir?" John asked.

Charlie glanced at Newt, and continued to watch his surroundings vigilantly, which was also considered an occupational disease.

When they were transporting fire dragons, they were like Aurors, who needed to pay attention to the surrounding situation all the time. Over time, Charlie developed this habit.

"Let's go to the scene first, see if we can find anything, and then go to Tver." Newt took out a compass from his bag as he spoke.

Tweer's full name is Tweer Jobs, and he is the owner of a tavern.

He was met by Newt during his travels. After getting acquainted with him, he took advantage of the mixed flow of people in the tavern, and often conveyed some news to Newt that was difficult for others to detect.

Newt's compass was also sent by him along with the letter. Unlike other compasses, it points to a pre-set location.

Through it, Newt could find the place where the R organization Tweer told him was active.

David followed Newt on a broom and flew for about an hour before they reached their destination.

If it weren't for the ability to build a barrier around the broom, David felt like his face would be blown off.

The place pointed by the compass was located in the depths of a forest, and after David and the others landed, they looked around.

Some broken branches were found, and a few scales were found in several corners.

It could be seen that the group of people had cleaned up the scene, but not very carefully.

Newt took a closer look in his hand and said, "This is the scale of a long-horned water snake. There should be a river near here. Let's look for it everywhere."

After speaking, Newt put away the scales. If the people from Organization R didn't cover up the breath of the horned water snake, he could find their location through the scales.

David and the others nodded and searched in one direction.

After walking some distance toward his northerly position, David saw a running stream through a gap in the trees.

"Grandpa, John, Charlie." David shouted, and walked over first, and a river about five or six meters wide appeared in front of him.

Thick weeds grew on the sides of the river, hiding the banks.

Newt walked over, looked at it for a while and said, "That's right, it should be here."

He put the wand tip in his mouth and blew, and a golden mist rushed around.

In the place where the mist surged, a thick and long figure slowly emerged, and it took a while to completely condense into shape.

It was a giant python more than two meters long. David saw a sharp horn on top of its head, and a jewel inlaid on its forehead.

This is the Horned Water Serpent, and the feet and gemstones on its head endow it with magical powers and make it a treasure among outlaws.

Because the horns of the long-horned water snake can be used as medicine, the gemstone on its forehead is also an excellent material for alchemy.

Not long after the long-horned water snake took shape, the mist surged again, condensing into the appearance of 8 people, but their faces could not be seen clearly.

"Eight of them?" Charlie looked at Newt and asked.

"Conservative estimates." Newt said: "Who knows how many of them didn't show up here. After confirming, we will notify other people directly to avoid any surprises."

Charlie nodded slightly, agreeing with Newt's statement.

After searching around for a while, David and the others found no useful clues.

"Okay, let's ask Tver to see if he has any new discoveries." Seeing everyone gathered, Newt continued, "Do you know the entrance to the wizarding town here?"

Charlie and John nodded, only David knew nothing.

"Okay, I'll take David, and you go there on your own." After Newt finished speaking, he took David's hand and twirled his wand.

After David felt a twist, they appeared in the middle of an alley, surrounded by small white three-story buildings, the tallest of which was no more than the fifth floor.

And it should be in a remote location, because David didn't see a single person moving around,
Not long after David stood still, there were two more sounds in the air, and John and Charlie appeared beside him.

Newt gave them a look, and then walked to the end of the alley, and the three of David followed closely behind him.

After walking out of the alley, there was a park opposite. Newt led them in, turned to the right, and walked into a path lined with big trees on both sides.

After walking for about 5 minutes, David saw a crossroad ahead.

There is a high platform in the middle of the intersection, on which stands a female sculpture holding flowers.

Newt took two steps forward, tapped it with his wand, and the sculpture's hand holding the flowers fell down.

"It's only a few minutes, hurry up." Newt said to David, he took a step forward, and the whole person disappeared, as if there was nothing in front of him.

David quickly followed his steps and walked in.

When David's eyes were able to see again, he froze for a moment.

In front of him is a wide street with some bumps and bumps, obviously very old.

There are various shops on both sides of the street, just like Diagon Alley, selling all kinds of food, potions and toys unique to the wizarding world.

There were still some tents set up in some corners of the street, but they all had their doors closed, and David couldn't see what they were for.

"Those are wandering businessmen or performance teams." John went to David and explained: "But they can only come out to perform at night, otherwise the Ministry of Magic will fine them money and say they block traffic."

David's eyes lit up: "Then can we come out to take a look at night?"

"Of course, I can take you out at night." John patted David on the shoulder: "Now let's go to the pub first."

They walked along the street for a while, and a tavern that felt as old as the road outside appeared in front of their eyes.

David looked up, and there was a black sign hanging above the gate, which said Jobs Tavern, and the words were a little blurred.

Can't tell this is still a family business!
David sighed, and after walking into the store with Newt, he found that the scene inside was the same as the signboard outside, very old-fashioned.

There are oil paintings that look very old on the mottled walls, and the stairs that go upstairs are also a little cracked.

David felt that Hagrid could have crushed him with one foot.

Only the chairs and the table in front of people are better, but it should be a product of more than ten years, and there are some potholes on them.

David looked through the store and glanced in the direction of the counter.

An old man with silver hair was standing behind the counter, flipping things in his hands.

David saw that there were some dark spots on his wrinkled face, obviously he was not young.

After Newt led them over, he tapped on the counter lightly and asked politely, "Is there any room left?"

The old man raised his head and glanced at them, with a gentle smile on his face: "You are lucky, there is just one room for four people, and it costs 60 Galleons. Do you want to move in?"

Newt nodded, and took out a sufficient amount of Galleons from his bag and handed them to him.

The old man put away Gold Gallon, wrote a note on the notebook on the table, and then took out a key from the drawer and handed it to Newt.

"By the way, can you bring us some food later?" Newt suddenly turned around and said as he walked up the stairs.

"Of course there is no problem." The old man said gently.

　Please recommend tickets, monthly tickets, thank you everyone, hope to have fun!
