Lin Ze looked at the gray-white powder on the ground, then looked up at Newt.
"You said this thing... will come back to life?"
"Yes, the immortality of the Vampires is far beyond our knowledge." Newt squatted on the ground and used a small wooden stick to stir up the pile of ashes.
"Silver powder can only suppress its regeneration ability, making it temporarily unable to return to its original state, but over time, it will still come back together."
"Then how can we kill it completely?"
Newt shook his head. "No way."
"No way?"
"As far as I know, no." Newt stood up.
So back then Nicolas Flamel only chose to seal the vampire instead of killing it.
Lin Ze thought of the records he saw in the file and was silent for a few seconds.
"Then when will it probably come to life again?"
"If it's a few months, if it's fast, if it's a year or two, if it's slow, no one can tell." Newt walked to the river and said while washing his hands.
"You'd better hope it doesn't hold a grudge."
"Fuck." Lin Ze cursed.
"But you don't have to worry too much." Newt shook off the water on his hand.
"After the vampires reunite, they will be weak for a long time and will not come out to cause trouble in a short time. What's more, even if it wakes up again, it will only stay here and will not go to Britain to cause trouble for you."
Lin Ze sighed.
It's just...Mario is dead.
However, after all, it was just the first time that the two met, and Lin Ze just mourned for him for two seconds and didn't think about it again.
"Let's go, this is not the place to talk." Newt picked up his old suitcase and tilted his head towards Lin Ze.
Lin Ze nodded and followed him honestly.
Newt took him along the river bank for about a quarter of an hour and entered a rain forest that looked no different from other places.
If Newt hadn't been leading the way, Lin Ze wouldn't have been able to find the entrance even to death.
Behind a ridiculously thick tree, there is a tree hole half as tall as a man.
Lin Ze watched Newt bend down and get in naturally as if he were coming home. He hesitated for two seconds and then followed suit.
The inside of the cave is surprisingly dry and has a lot of space.
Newt lit a brass hand lamp.
It's just that what's inside the lampshade is not fire, but a small blue flying insect that glows.
"Sit." Newt kicked a wooden stake in front of Lin Ze with his feet.
Lin Ze sat down and the wound on his back was pulled slightly. Although it was mostly healed under the influence of Essence of Dittany, it still hurt so much that the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Take off your shirt." Newt said while opening the suitcase.
Lin Ze No nonsense, take off the clothes that are already in pieces.
Newt took a look at his wound, leaned over and took out a jar of dark green ointment from the suitcase, dug out a big lump, and patted it directly on Lin Ze's back.
"Hiss--"
Lin Ze jumped up from the tree stump in pain.
"Don't move." Newt held him down and continued to apply the other hand on the wound.
Lin Ze I have never felt so painful in my life.
It hurts more than the damn "Cruciatus Curse".
When the ointment came into contact with the wound, it felt like tens of thousands of ants were burrowing into the flesh at the same time. It was sour and spicy. Lin Ze's legs were shaking uncontrollably. His fingers were picking at the edge of the tree stump, and he kept greeting the vampire's relatives and friends.
"This is prepared with Swooping Evil's venom and Ashwinder's eggshell. It has a miraculous effect on the wounds caused by this dark creature." Newt said while digging another lump.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch... don't... ouch..."
Newt ignored him and carefully applied the ointment twice more to ensure that all wounds were evenly applied before putting the ointment away.
Strangely enough, after the heartbreaking pain passed, Lin Ze did feel that the wound was no longer so uncomfortable, and was replaced by a warm numbness.
"How did you get into trouble with that thing?" Newt asked.
Lin Ze briefly explained the process of chasing Cuypera, of course, omitting some inconvenient details.
"Cuypera." Newt nodded after listening, with the unique radiance on his face that a child has when hearing a favorite topic.
"They do gather in this water area, especially during this season. I have been chasing them for almost a month."
"So you came here just to find this kind of snake?"
"Yes, I have to protect them before they become extinct." Newt did not hesitate.
"So, Mr. Lin, why are you here looking for me?" Newt asked.
Then Lin Ze briefly explained the situation of Aila.
"Obscurial?" Newt looked obviously serious after hearing this.
"Yes, an eight-year-old girl."
"I didn't expect that Obscurial would still exist now." Newt said.
"So I need your help, you are the expert in this area."
Newt looked at Lin Ze.
"Will she accept help?"
"She... is willing." Lin Ze remembered the way Aila hugged her tightly, and the aggrieved look in her eyes when they separated.
"She is very yearning for magic and is also very curious about you. I told her that a very powerful Fantastic Beasts expert would come to see her. She was happy for a long time."
Newt heard this and had a clear smile on his face.
"In this case, after my business here is over, I will go to Godric's Hollow."
"Then it will be hard work..."
Lin Ze I never thought in my life that I would sleep in a tree hole with a centenarian old man in the Brazil rainforest.
Of course, I never thought I could drink hot tea in a tree hole.
As soon as the sky cleared, Newt woke up Lin Ze.
"It's time to go."
Lin Ze opened his eyes with difficulty.
He was very tired from sleeping last night and got up reluctantly.
After getting out of the tree hole, the rain forest in the early morning felt like someone had poured cold water on it.
Lin Ze sneezed twice, took out the wand, cast "Scouring Charm" on his clothes, and threw a mint into his mouth to cheer him up.
The two of them walked back along the way they came.
Newt didn't walk very fast. He stopped from time to time, picked a few leaves to look at, or squatted on a rotten wood and rummaged around.
Lin Ze didn't rush him either.
This old man has a reassuring rhythm about him. When you stay next to him, even the tropical rain forest becomes less annoying.
When he reached the river, Newt suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a slender ripple on the water.
A small black snake emerged from the bottom of the water, and the fins on its back created two small waves on the water.
Cuypera.
Lin Ze subconsciously wanted to touch the wand, but Newt stopped him with his eyes.
Newt took out a handful of small beige particles from his pocket and lightly sprinkled them on the water.
The little snake swam over, stretched out its head and pecked twice, then wagged its tail contentedly, circled the river in a small circle, and dived back into the water.
"Is this thing so easy to talk to?" Lin Ze couldn't believe it.
"Most of the time, their temperaments are still very gentle." Newt raised his chin in the direction the snake was swimming.
Lin Ze The corners of his mouth twitched.
"You still want to stay here?" Lin Ze asked.
"We have to stay for a few more days." Newt rubbed his nose with his sleeve.
"I have figured out their range of activities. Once I determine where they spawn, I can go to Godric's Hollow."
"Then I'll go back first and contact me when you arrive Britain." Lin Ze nodded.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that Fudge has become the deputy director? Is he still as pushy as before?"
"Do you know Fudge?" Lin Ze was a little surprised.
"I just think this person is quite funny, but he always talks endlessly in crowded places." Newt said.
Lin Ze has a question mark on his face.
"You seem to have a general impression of him?" Lin Ze said.
"To be precise, it's very bad." Newt smiled at him.
"But that was more than ten years ago. People always change. Maybe he has become a mature and reliable person now."
Lin Ze did not continue this topic.
Before leaving, Newt took out a small tube of dark red liquid from the suitcase and gave it to Lin Ze.
"This is?"
"Rimau's serum is very effective in antipyretic toxins. It can be regarded as a meeting gift."
Lin Ze put the serum away and solemnly thanked me.
Then he took two steps back and waved to Newt.
"See you later."
"See you later." Newt also waved to him.
Lin Ze disappears directly as "Apparition".
