Chapter 359： Kirin's Journey

Falling in love with you, I went to Hogwarts after being spotted by Grindelwald

Think about what Dumbledore once said to me?

Looking at the hidden stone wall of Grindelwald, Sean fell into contemplation.

What does Grindelwald mean? He is reminding me...

Could it be that Dumbledore's words meant something else, but I didn't realize it?

Just as Sean was thinking, Newt's voice sounded outside.

"Didn't you see Sean? Merlin's beard, he clearly used the door key with me..."

Sean stuck his head out and saw that Newt and Jacob had already reunited, and they seemed to be looking for themselves at this time.

"Professor Scamander, here." Sean put the badge Grindelwald gave him in the bag and waved.

"Who are you?" Newt turned his head and saw someone he didn't even know.

"Oh, I almost forgot..." Sean touched his face, revealing his original appearance.

Newt's eyes flickered, obviously surprised for a moment, but he walked over quickly.

"Nothing happened, did you?"

"I'm fine, how about you, is someone chasing you?"

Newt looked at each other with odd expressions on their faces.

"Yes...but it's weird."

Sean frowned: "How?"

"It's true that someone has been looking for the traces of several of us. I encountered a wave when I was looking for you before, but I was blocked by others..."

Newt gave Sean a strange look: "The people who chased us should be the guards, and those who blocked the guards should be the people from Grindelwald..."

Sean: "…"

What are you doing, it's nothing to do with me...

In the end, he shrugged: "Anyway, just send the unicorn over, right?"

"Dumbledore said it would be fine to hand it to Charles Vogel."

Sean: "…"

If I guessed correctly, the outgoing chairman should be from Grindelwald...

But Sean didn't say anything. Since Dumbledore said it was all right, let's do it.

He is very tired now.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald still seem to have broken, but Sean can always find detailed evidence that the two have not broken, but both sides have clearly stated that it is impossible.

Schrödinger's break.

Several people sneaked towards the end of the town.

It seems that Bhutan has not been so lively in a long time, and this ancient land used for the election of the President of the International Federation of Wizards seems to be rejuvenated.

However, as Sean and the others got closer, they seemed to be getting closer to the cloudy sky.

"It doesn't look like a good day today." Jacob wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly.

As a Muggle, he is now a very old gentleman, and it can even be said that most normal Muggles cannot live to his age.

However, his wife, friends, etc. are all wizards, and Daisuke used some potions to enhance his physical fitness. Of course, he can't maintain a good energy like when he was young.

Sean didn't quite understand why he brought Jacob here. For him, it was a better choice to take a break at Hogwarts and wait for Newt and others to return.

However, seeing that Newt had no objection, Sean didn't ask much.

Hiding and hiding along the way, several people did not encounter the big trouble they expected.

They soon reached the broken bridge at the end of the town. At this time, flags representing the International Federation of Wizards had been erected on both sides. The white flags were shaking violently in the air. the situation at the top of the mountain.

The candidates are speaking.

"Looks like it's not too late?" Newt said.

Sean focused on the live-broadcast banner, which, obviously, was a magic item—and it seemed to work.

I didn't even know it existed before... Sean pouted and walked into the vague air at the edge of the broken bridge ahead.

After a twist, they came to the square on the top of the mountain. Looking forward, they saw the stairs going up all the way. The flag was flying, and many people wearing traditional Bhutanese clothes stood on both sides of the stairs.

Most of the wizards gathered on the bottom square, waving flags of various colors in their hands and shouting enthusiastically for the candidate they supported.

On the small platform up the stairs are those guests with higher status, senior officials of the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and so on.

At the top of the stairs is a tower with Bhutanese characteristics, which looks like a watchtower, but the gate looks like the entrance and exit of a temple.

Directly ahead, several candidates are standing at a distance from each other.

A well-built old man was wearing a solemn dress, and waved to the crowd below with a smile that was not elegant, but rather wanton.

That's Grindelwald.

Not only everyone here is watching him, but in every part of the wizarding world, countless wizards are watching the ceremony go on.

A woman in uniform with a stiff smile came up and bowed to Newt: "Mr. Scamander, we've been waiting for you for a long time, please."

Looking at the other party's appearance, is he going to let Newt take the unicorn directly?

Newt looked at each other and followed the lady up the stairs.

At the corner of the square, someone in the shadows was talking in a low voice.

"Scamander is here, do you need to stop it?"

"It's not necessary to say above, Scamander serves Dumbledore, and that's our people, as long as you make sure that Qilin has not been touched."

"However, Grindelwald's movements are very strange. A normal unicorn would never bow to him. He... did he not resist at all?"

"People are optimistic about the group of fanatical saints, and we have to prepare for Grindelwald to do it on the spot."

"But...that's Grindelwald..."

"Grindelwald doesn't need us to shoot, someone will restrict him..."

At this point, the last candidate's speech also ended.

Charles Vogel stepped forward, his voice resounding throughout the square.

"Thank you, thank you to every candidate for speaking up. Each of them represents a unique vision and their sincerity has been shown to everyone."

"They have already described in detail how if they become the supreme leader of the wizarding world, they will lead people to shape a better magical world, and—" Charles Vogel smiled, "the non-magical world."

"And the next step is the most important part of this election - the trip to Kirin."

Sean was a little stunned when the tsunami-like voice came from the mountains. He seemed to underestimate the importance that wizards place on this ancient ritual.

But is it really useful to choose a pure and good person? He was skeptical.

Sean looked up at Grindelwald who was smiling, and he didn't seem to care about the unicorn...

"Mr. Scamander." The lady nodded at Newt.

Newt hesitated for a moment and opened the box, and the unicorn was carried out by him.

This is the first time that Sean has seen the overall appearance of a unicorn. The little guy is like a cute little sika deer wearing a scale armor. It looks at everyone around it with its big round pupils. Gives a magical feeling that the soul is seen through.

A masked woman in red traditional clothes took the unicorn. The little guy was a little reluctant to leave Newt's embrace, but Sean always felt that the unicorn seemed to be reluctant to give up on himself...

The unicorn was handed over to Charles Vogel, who held the little unicorn high.

"The unicorn - the ancient benevolent beast, it will tell us who is the leader who is qualified to lead the wizard forward."

The unicorn was gently placed on the ground by him. The little unicorn seemed to naturally understand what it should do. Although it was a little unstable, it still looked at the candidates curiously.

It walked to Isanne Archer, who was originally the most vocal candidate in this election, and stopped for a while.

It went to Wahag da Silva from Africa. This candidate is not so popular, but the content of the speech just now is sincere and powerful.

Kirin just glanced at him and walked over.

It passed candidate after candidate, and finally, it stopped.

That was Gellert Grindelwald, the next and last candidate to join the candidate, Gellert Grindelwald, who went from wanted man to contender for the next chairman in just one day.

Grindelwald looked down at the unicorn with his hands behind his back.

In the square below, the person in the shadow has held his breath, and someone next to him said in a trembling voice: "How is this possible, how can Kirin choose not to choose Archer, not to choose Da Silva, but to choose Grindelwald..."

"Damn it, when did he move his hands and feet..."

The unicorn looked up at Grindelwald, and curiosity flashed in the dark round pupils.

Its front legs are slightly bent.

Everyone held their breath, even Sean's eyes widened in disbelief - crap...

The unicorn didn't kneel, its front leg slipped and it almost fell to the ground.

Then, it directly ignored Grindelwald, no, it should have escaped from Grindelwald.

The little unicorn turned his head and walked in the direction he came from, as if he was looking for a place where he could feel at ease.

The candidates, the audience, the fanatical supporters, the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and the behind-the-scenes parties who are standing in the center of the shadows, all of them were stunned by this action of the unicorn.

Kirin had no choice, but went to the audience?

The candidates looked at each other, Charles Vogel glanced sideways at Grindelwald, only to find that the man who had won his loyalty with his grandfather was smiling.

All over the world, in the white curtains hanging in the halls of the Ministry of Magic of various countries, everyone is watching this scene.

Kirin didn't hesitate, it found the target from the moment it turned its head.

It hurriedly ran to the front of a young wizard, and knelt down on one knee lightly.

Its belly emits a gentle orange glow.

"Who is that person?"

"Who is that guy? So young, I've never seen him before?"

"The unicorn knelt down to him..."

In the bottom square, in the team supporting Grindelwald, a wizard was stunned for a while, and suddenly shouted: "That brother, he supports Mr. Grindelwald! I just saw it!"

Unfortunately, under the huge impact, no one cared what he said, and everyone didn't know what to do.

Only the parties involved were stunned.

Sean looked at the little unicorn kneeling on one knee, and the corners of his eyes twitched wildly.

He just glanced at the other party and realized that the unicorn didn't kneel because of how pure and kind he was - the little guy was just simply afraid, and his ridiculously high affinity for magical animals made the other party feel it from the bottom of his heart. Trust and kindness.

Isn't this bullshit...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sean squatted down and gently stroked the head of the unicorn, a wonderful feeling came to his heart, as if he was connected with the unicorn.

It is afraid... It is because it has seen through Grindelwald's soul... It is afraid... So it finds itself and wants to seek comfort.

A hint of surprise flashed in Sean's eyes, but the problem is, he can't be the chairman - he's even in a deformed disguise...

He looked at Grindelwald quietly, but just saw the corner of the old man's mouth raised, as if he was happy for a successful prank.

What should I do next? Sean tries to wink to get some Grindelwald tips.

But Grindelwald just frowned at him lazily, as he had taught him magic before.

"Anyway, you said that the unicorn is just a plan, I don't care about you..." Sean muttered inwardly.

Sean touched Qilin's head lightly, comforting the little guy who was a little scared, he said softly: "Don't worry, don't be afraid... Little guy, I'm very grateful for your trust, but you still have to choose another person, okay? "

The little unicorn blinked at him, and it understood what Sean said.

After rubbing his cheek against Sean's palm with attachment, the little unicorn stood up, looked around, and went in another direction.

It walked in front of a kind old man with gray hair and a puzzled face, and knelt down again.

It's Jacob.

"Is it kneeling at me?" Jacob's round face showed funny expressions of surprise, puzzlement, and panic.

Newt whispered: "Of course, and the choice of Kirin doesn't seem to be wrong..."

"Who is this?!" A wizard asked in doubt.

At this time, a wizard from the Magic Congress of the United States exclaimed: "I know him, that, that is a No-Maji!"

"No-Ma Chicken?"

"The American name is Muggles, non-magical people..."

"Qilin kneels down on a Muggle?!"

"Merlin's pants! How does he fit?!"

"But Qilin did choose him...this..."

"What are you talking about?! A Muggle to lead us?!"

"That…"

The unicorn knelt before a Muggle, and the whole Peak Galleria, all the wizards watching the ceremony, fell into a sense of shock and unacceptable absurdity.

But on the flying flag, it was clear that there was no trace of fraud, and the unicorn bowed his head and knelt in front of a Muggle.

Although Sean was surprised, he also felt that it was reasonable, Jacob was indeed a very kind person - although the scene at this time was embarrassing.

And at this moment,

"Hahahaha-"

A long laughter sounded in a carefree but contemptuous manner.

Grindelwald was laughing wildly, and he was laughing at everyone, mocking laughter.

"My dear countrymen—" He stopped laughing and waved his wand skyward.

In the already dark cloudy sky, heavy rain poured down, and thunder and lightning crisscrossed.

Grindelwald's voice was filled with rain and lightning.

"Look at this scene, is this your choice?"

"Come on, tell me, wizard, the most noble bloodline in the world, do you want to follow this old and decadent rule, to identify with a Muggle as your leader!"

"Put your hands on your hearts! Feel your thumping heartbeats, feel your blood in which the magic dances wildly!"

"Ask your heart, ask your glory as a wizard, the unicorn kneels before a muggle who is going to be your leader! Answer me, the old world rules, you really—"

"Do you want to obey?"
