Above the turbulent ocean.
When Ian finally broke through the last barrier of thunderstorms and reached the core, he saw an island surrounded by thick fog, seemingly isolated from the world.
As he slowly approached, the surrounding scenery gradually became clear: towering trees, colorful flowers, and a strange fragrance permeating the air.
All of this felt both unfamiliar and intriguing to him. Ian hurriedly landed on the island at the heart of the storm, before he could even shake off the rainwater from his feathers and transform back into human form.
"Splash~"
Suddenly, a round stone ball Accio toward his face. Faced with the attack, Ian certainly couldn't let a fist-sized rock smash into his forehead.
The stone ball wasn't moving very fast.
Even if someone bullies him because he's a child and tries to ambush him, he can easily dodge it. After all, Ian isn't an old man in his fifties or sixties, so he doesn't need to experience a decrease in reaction time due to practicing the Lightning Five-Strike Whip.
He easily dodged the stone ball.
The stone ball rolled into the grass beside it. It hit the coconut tree behind them with a loud crack, making the tree sway and shake, showing that it was definitely not light.
"Holy crap! A sneak attack?"
The Raven Form instantly dissipated, Ian saw a little Girl with pigtails jump out of the bushes. Somewhat confused, he walked forward to pick up the stone ball.
"Strangeness."
The little Girl who emerged from the bushes muttered to herself.
She picked up the stone ball and examined it carefully.
"Why is it not working? Didn't this mean we could catch Fantastic Beasts?" The little Girl seemed incredulously confused about the knowledge she had learned.
"..."
Ian grabbed her head and pressed it down.
"You're treating me like Pokemon, aren't you?" He was genuinely bewildered, and the kid's bewilderment at seeing a bird turn into a person was no less than Ian's.
"Oh my god! You can turn into a human!" The little Girl was completely stunned, her face filled with disbelief, and her eyes were filled with shock as she looked at Ian.
"And it can even talk!"
The little Girl's eyes widened, and the stone ball in her hand fell to the beach with a "plop." There was no magical aura about her, so she probably didn't know that Ian had used Legilimency obtain a new language system from her little brain, which was why he was able to communicate with her without any barriers.
Ancient languages were incredibly complex, and Ian developed the habit of learning the language of every species he encountered, though such languages would likely be of little use in later generations.
Most of these languages are buried in the long river of history as time goes by. They do not contain any power; they simply exist as languages on their own.
"I didn't become a human being; I was always a human being." Ian corrected the little Girl's incorrect statement, even though in his eyes she was still a child.
She was about seven or eight years old.
This made it difficult for Ian to bring himself to beat the other person up – after all, he was an older brother who grew up in Orphanage, and Ian was always quite tolerant of children younger than himself.
While living in the Orphanage, there were quite a few naughty younger brothers and sisters. Ian couldn't discipline them every day, so he was quite tolerant in this regard.
certainly.
When faced with truly unruly children, Ian would still step in to teach them a lesson. However, this was clearly not the case now; the little Girl in front of him had mistaken him for Fantastic Beasts.
It was a misunderstanding.
This misunderstanding just made Ian feel a strong sense of déjà vu. He was just in the storm and felt that the long snake looked like Rayquaza, and now that he's in the heart of the storm, someone is trying to capture him with something that looks like a "Poké Ball"—it's just that this world doesn't Ren Hell, otherwise a lawyer's letter would definitely have been mailed to ancient times.
That's absolutely infuriating.
"Wow, no wonder I couldn't catch you, you're not your average Fantastic Beasts." The little Girl completely ignored Ian's explanation; she seemed to have her own interpretation in her little head.
"Oh my god! I've encountered a legendary Fantastic Beasts!" She suddenly became so excited that she danced around, and what she said made Ian feel like his head was buzzing with a dreamlike sensation.
"Can you stop treating me like Pokemon?" Ian had reminded the other person twice already. He wasn't Fantastic Beasts, so why was the other person acting like he had a missing cerebellum and couldn't understand?
Perhaps it's because none of the people living on this island possess magic, nor have they ever seen or even heard of it, so they inherently believe that it's impossible for humans to transform into animals?
Even so.
What's with all these copyright infringement warnings?! Such illogical and off-putting statements left Ian speechless. It was utterly absurd; he even felt like he was under a spell.
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this...
The little Girl hesitated for a moment, then blinked her big eyes, her face full of curiosity. "What are Pokemon? I only know about Fantastic Beasts."
Um.
This statement confirmed to Ian that he hadn't experienced another time travel during the storm, ending up in another Hui-jie's world that only existed in fantasy works.
"It's a video game where you catch monsters. It also has an animated series."
Ian suddenly choked up.
"What are video games? I only know hide-and-seek and peek-a-boo. What are cartoons?" The little Girl clearly had some difficulty understanding the terms Ian was using.
After all, they were ancient humans.
Of course, they wouldn't understand some of the concepts from later generations.
"It's just a fantasy anyway."
Ian explained briefly.
The little Girl stared in shock, her mouth agape.
"This is practically our life!"
Her words silenced Ian once again.
"Can you tell me what this stone sphere is?" Ian remained silent for a long time. There was a communication barrier between him and the other party, so he decided to first understand the situation before him.
"Oh, this is our treasured tool for capturing Fantastic Beasts." The little Girl spoke as she proudly held up the stone sphere, its surface covered in ancient runes. "Every child receives a stone sphere when they turn twelve, which allows them to capture a Fantastic Beasts in the wild to become their lifelong companion."
Upon hearing this...
The sea breeze whipped up sand and slapped against Ian's stiff face.
The air grew quiet again.
"A lifelong partner? Is this how people live here?" Ian asked, his eyes wide with disbelief. He believed that Ren Hell could travel through time...
They'll sue this island until it goes bankrupt.
"Yes, it's part of our tradition." The little Girl, completely unaware of Ian's inner thoughts, nodded, her eyes shining with pride.
Ian's lips twitched.
"My Xiaoya!" The Girl completely ignored Ian's attitude and excitedly tugged at his sleeve. "Are you from outside the island? How can you turn into Fantastic Beasts?"
"Could it be a telepathic connection? But where are your companions?"
The noun she used.
It also gave me the feeling that I couldn't understand it at all.
"My partners are law and justice," Ian said expressionlessly, continuing his questioning, "So you use this ball to catch all the Fantastic Beasts here, right?"
As he spoke.
Ian's gaze fell on the stone sphere.
To be honest...
The runes drawn on it looked somewhat like Titan Creation, and he suspected that all of this was the work of the Titan who had been driven away, but he couldn't understand where that Titan got such a wild idea from.
"Yes, yes!"
The Girl, Xiaoya, seemed to have no defenses against Ian.
Perhaps the people here are quite naive.
She counted on her fingers.
"My cousin got a fire-breathing Lizard, and our neighbor A-Qiang got an invisible octopus. But the most amazing one is Grandpa Mayor, who tamed a Brontosaurus when he was young!"
As he spoke.
The Girl, Xiaoya, showed an expression of longing. Ian recalled the long worm in the storm earlier and suddenly understood why that guy was so agitated when he saw him.
As a Fantastic Beasts.
The guy must have been challenged by other people who rode Fantastic Beasts, and maybe even tried to capture them, so he probably has PTSD.
Thinking about this...
Ian forgave the reckless counterfeit " Rayquaza ".
"Your customs..."
Ian carefully chose his words.
How long has this been going on?
He suspected that these people were also Titan Creation, just like Zeus and his contemporaries. He just didn't know whether these people became extinct in later generations or evolved into other species.
"It's been like this since our ancestors founded the village! But I don't know how long ago that was, anyway, we've always lived like this."
Xiaoya answered without any suspicion.
"Can you tell me more about this place?" Ian decided to delve deeper into this mysterious island, knowing he was probably very close to the remnants of that Titan.
"Sure!"
The little Girl exclaimed excitedly, "We have all sorts of Fantastic Beasts here, and everyone has their own companion. You can go into the forest to catch them, or participate in competitions to show off your skills!"
"A competition? What kind of competition?"
Ian had a very bad feeling about this.
As expected.
"It's a battle between Fantastic Beasts, to see whose partner is stronger. It's a form of training, a training undertaken to challenge the raging storms beyond this world."
The little Girl explained.
She pointed to the massive storm that was protecting the area in the distance.
"..."
What else could Ian say?
"It sounds like a gladiator match."
He could only try his best to help these pirates make their own excuses.
"Not only that, we also hold various festivals and celebrations, and everyone brings their friends to celebrate together," the little Girl continued, her eyes sparkling.
"Your lives are so colorful," Ian exclaimed.
"And you? Where did you come from?" the little Girl asked curiously.
"I come from a different world, where there is no way to communicate with Fantastic Beasts, and no challenges like yours," Ian replied.
That's such a shame.
The little Girl said regretfully.
I have no idea what she's regretting.
"However, I'm quite interested in your world now," Ian continued with a smile, not mentioning magic. "Could you take me to see your town?"
perhaps.
Let's start by getting to know this small town.
Ian was able to find out exactly what the Titan had done and from whom they had stolen the idea to build this kingdom— Ian already had a guess at the answer to this question.
but.
Further verification is needed.
"Of course, no problem, but wait for me!" Xiaoya agreed without any hesitation, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the coconut trees by the roadside. "I need to bring back some drinks."
Before Ian could react, the little Girl with pigtails had already jumped to a coconut tree that was as thick as two people could hug. She took a deep breath.
The little fists pounded away fiercely.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A dozen straight punches landed on the tree trunk, causing the canopy to shake violently. Accompanied by a teeth-grinding cracking sound, the coconut tree, more than twenty meters tall, slowly tilted.
Finally, it crashed onto the beach with a loud "boom," kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Done!"
The Xiaoya happily pried open the tree trunk and easily took out several intact coconuts, just like peeling a banana.
Ian's eye twitched violently.
This scene is like Ash's Machamp has traveled into reality—no, it's even more outrageous than that, since there's no ten-year-old girl in the game who can eat a coconut tree like it's sugarcane.
That Titan was really too faithful to the original story!
"On your island."
Ian's voice was weak.
"Is everyone this aggressive?"
"Huh?"
Xiaoya tilted her head, looking completely innocent. "Isn't this basic? My little brother, Ama, could do it when he was three. I'm Girl, so I'm a bit weaker."
Her words were once again met with silence.
Ian was completely stunned.
As Ian gazed at the distant town with its rising smoke, he suddenly gained a completely new understanding of the perverse pleasures of the exiled Titan. His reaction did not affect the Girl, Xiaoya's, mood.
The little Girl skipped and hopped forward.
Would you like to come and see our town?
She turned and extended an invitation to Ian.
"That would be wonderful!"
Ian quickly followed. Led by the little Girl, Ian entered a vibrant town. The Street were lined with all sorts of shops.
Somewhat unexpected.
This place surprisingly possesses a level of civilization comparable to that of the Middle Ages.
Instead of eating raw meat and drinking blood.
That's correct.
After all, the clothes the little Girl was wearing also required some degree of civilization. Of course, unlike the civilization Ian was familiar with, the development of civilization here seemed to have gone slightly astray.
At the market, a burly man is competing in weightlifting with a gorilla.
In the teahouse, elegant ladies were having afternoon tea with their House-elf, while the most startling sight was a couple kissing their crystal snails on a park bench.
"What are they doing??"
Ian's voice even changed tone.
"To cultivate a relationship!"
Xiaoya said it as a matter of course.
"Partners who are connected by blood should naturally be very close. Some are even related by blood. I heard that the mayor's family had a powerful ancestor who truly rode Dragon and even married Dragon."
Her words made it seem as if everything made perfect sense.
And at this moment.
Ian suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Wait, you just said we're connected by blood?"
I don't know why.
Ian's mind conjured up images of Pureblood families with special bloodlines in later generations.
For example, the Dumbledore family, who can communicate with Phoenix.
so.
Are the unofficial histories of the Wizarding World true?
