Chapter 2445

"The shitabe family is a kind of magical human like animal in the marshes of North America. It lays eggs. Since the birth of its shell, the shitabe in its infancy will maintain a completely consistent appearance with that of human children. It usually molts and enters the growth stage after 9 to 13 years, and gradually changes to the shape of snakes. After decades, the size of snakes can grow to 25 to 35 feet. After entering adulthood, it can be seen in people at any time after its body is shaped Shape and snake shape change with each other, and they have no less wisdom than human beings. Because the shitabe people are gentle and kind by nature, they are indifferent and calm. As long as they get along sincerely, there is usually no danger. "

When John talked about going to the ancient underground cave where the shitabe family was located with Deputy captain auro, Hermione across the table habitually recited the passage he had read in a magical animal book in the Hogwarts library.

Naturally, most of the other friends here are used to it. Even Sarah and Safina, who have been with Hermione for a long time, have long adapted to her occasional nerd character.

On the contrary, John, who was opposite, could not help nodding when he heard that Miss Granger, who had recently become famous, opened her mouth to this Native American creature that had not been famous in the modern magic world.

"Yes, that's what Miss Granger said," he said, "The wisdom of the shitabe people is quite high, and they are almost no different from us in human form. Therefore, when they grow up, many shitabe people will choose to go to the ground world and live silently in the city of Ma Ji - their life expectancy is much longer than that of humans. In addition, they also have insight comparable to that of God taking and are equal to that of snakes Great perception and beyond human memory. At that time, Roger decided to take us to them for help. It was really a fairly correct idea. "

Just at this point, John could not help shaking his head and said with some disappointment:

"Unfortunately, although they are indeed very similar to humans, they are different from us after all!"

"What's the matter? What happened later?" Ron had been fascinated by it not far away. He couldn't help asking after John when he saw that look.

John shook his head again, shrugged and said:

"Most of the adult shitabe people are mature and have long been used to getting along with us wizards, so even if we accidentally do something rash and offensive, they can barely accept it and will not have too much conflict. But like those shitabe people who are still growing up, they are not so easy to communicate. However, it may not be easy It is the deliberate arrangement of the shitabe family. Almost all the people responsible for patrolling the shallow layer of the cave are still growing people - krogger is just one of the Aurors who used to be responsible for the escort of the shitabe regular contact team. In fact, he doesn't know them. "

……

The experience ten years ago made John remember one thing - if you suddenly encounter a child while wading, you will never know whether it is a double leg or an ice cold snake tail with cold scales under the other party's flooded waist.

"Bang bang!"

In the dark cave, a long dark shadow flashed by, and the next moment, the figure of Roger, who was just talking, had disappeared from his eyes. However, listening to the two violent impacts in a row, John knew that the Deputy captain Auror had mostly been severely photographed on the uneven rock wall.

Is that the shitabe? What just happened? Why did the other party suddenly launch such a fierce attack on krogger?

Because the incident happened suddenly. It's only three minutes since the "child" quietly appeared in the dark. To be honest, it's a little different from what John read in his books at home... No, it's very different.

Oh, come to think of it. Just now Roger said, "according to the relevant regulations of the new American contract, we will complete this routine contact with the nobles in the future." According to what Roger said earlier, this was the speech of the then head of the liaison team he wrote down when he was escorting the team. He also said that the head mentioned that this was a set of words that Congress sent to have a routine liaison meeting with the shitabe people - it's best to say every word correctly before you really see those shitabe people.

But why isn't it easy to use this time? Did Roger recite it wrong?

No, from beginning to end, it seems that there is only such a sentence. In addition to the other party's racial name, there are no words that are not English in it. If this is wrong, NACK Roger could not have graduated from ifamani and become his pride.

Fortunately... Well, in fact, I don't know whether it should be "lucky" now! In short, at least the "child" in front didn't continue to fight the rest of them after he whipped Roger like lightning.

John stood there, less than half a step from the previous position of Roger, who had no idea of his life and death, and the numbness aroused by the strong wind brought by the snake tail on his face was still faint. After hesitating for a moment, he saw that the other party was only looking at him silently, but they didn't move forward or retreat, so he couldn't help but say carefully:

"Well... Excuse me, sir... Why did you hit him just now?"

In fact, it can be said that every wizard is not too strange to communicate with humanoid magical creatures. In today's magic world, many creatures have lived with wizards for many years.

But how much do you know about these humanoid magical creatures whose appearance is more or less similar to human beings and whose personality and talents seem very different? I'm afraid no wizard dares to boast about it.

Just like vice captain Kroger of Auror, who often deals with vampires and werewolves on weekdays, he may have gained excessive self-confidence because of his extraordinary experience.

In contrast, John, who didn't know much about this, naturally didn't dare to think carefully now that Roger's lesson was ahead.

"Since the set of words can't be said, then... What should be said?"

While he was trying to ask a respectful question and meditating in secret, he actually didn't want a response from the other party, but he heard that the "child" in front of him really opened his mouth to answer his questions——

"Because he lied."

The sweet voice echoed gently in the dark and crisscross cave.
