Chapter 495 Amida Dodo Frog and Lupine
The owner of the Chocolate Frog Factory was not in this valley, and Montgomery had to go for a long time to bring the owner here.
The boss is an old man with gray hair, wearing a striped suit, with a bookish look on his face.
He has a funny name - Lyle Lupine.
Also here is Remus Lupine, Director of the Werewolf Office of the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.
Lupine smiled tenderly and nodded to Anton, standing behind his father, looking at Scrimgeour warily.
Lyle Lupine was different from his son. In addition to the bookish look on his thin face, there was also a hint of meanness and a touch of arrogance that seemed to come from an aristocratic family.
Lyle unceremoniously pulled out his chair and sat down, staring at Scrimgeour, "Scremgeour, you should know that I am just a lucky person who got a family inheritance, and I have never been involved in anything in this factory. operate."
"We, the Lupines, 127 years ago, separated the factory from the family property and put it in the 'Sugar Pie Union,' which, you know, was commissioned by the wizard Westley Adams to run the business. The factory has been around for 26 years!"
Scrimgeour slapped the table violently, the matchboxes on the table jumped up with such force.
"But Adams is a dark wizard!"
Lyle looked indifferent, and spread his hands, "Yes, he is in your hands now."
"We all work in the Ministry of Magic. I have cooperated with you Aurors to perform many tasks. I know how your Aurors work. Please be sure not to be polite to Adams."
Scrimgeour squinted his eagle eyes and stared at Lyle tightly, clenched his fists under the table, obviously disliked this somewhat arrogant black magic biologist.
Lyle still dragged that old-fashioned British accent, said in a soft and slow voice with a muddy tone, "He never expressed any respect to my boss, he was greedy, demanding, and covered in blood. Copper stinks."
Scrimgeour laughed. "Oh, as if most of the money the mill made didn't end up in the Lupine family's coffers."
Lyle shrugged, "After all, this is the most valuable asset of our Lupine family now."
"Then I'll look for you!" Scrimgeour said coldly.
Lyle sneered, "Listen, I don't want to repeat it a third time, this factory was entrusted to the 'Sugar Pie Alliance' 127 years ago, the actual operator of this factory, Adams, is also them Assigned!"
"But you used to be the president of the 'Sugar Cake Alliance'!"
"..."
Lyall was silent for a long time, looked back at his son, took out a pipe from his pocket tremblingly, gestured to Scrimgeour, and lit a match.
"You know, Scrimgeour..." He exhaled, "Twenty years ago, when I was young and energetic, I uttered lies and offended that werewolf..."
He shrugged, "I got retribution, not only in the family, the 'Sugar Pie Alliance' worried about being implicated by werewolf revenge, and kicked me off my seat."
"It was a nightmare..."
Lyle turned his head to look at a tree in the valley outside the window, and pointed with his pipe, "Did you see that date tree, which my father planted, and I used to pee on it when I was a child."
"The Sugar Pie Alliance snatched the actual control of this factory from me, and appointed a 'Slytherin' whom I especially hate, Westley Adams, the son of a homeless beggar with a poor family!"
Scrimgeour's cheeks twitched, "I'm not interested in hearing your nonsense!"
He stood up, took the folder from Montgomery behind him, and threw it on the table, "The reality is, you have to go to the factory every few years, and the most recent one was three years ago!"
He put his hands on the table and looked down at Lyle coldly, "According to Auror's investigation, there is a magic in the valley, which was arranged three years ago!"
"It's only taking effect now!"
"Merlin's beard!" Lyle looked up at Scrimgeour with a strange face, "Don't you think I will release a magic to target my family's assets?"
"This is the last thing of value in our Lupine family."
Scrimgeour stared closely into Lyall's eyes, "Then how do you explain your experience of coming to the factory three years ago?"
"Because the lovely Mary gave birth, of course I want to come here. You know, as long as this kind of black magic creature gives birth to offspring, it means that its lifespan has come to an end." Lyle said here, sighing, " I warned Adams not to put Mary's baby 'Mimi' to work too early, it was cruel to a newborn creature."
"He probably didn't listen to me. I still see chocolate frogs for sale in the market."
Scrimgeour still stared at Lyle closely and did not speak.
Montgomery behind him took out a small notebook and leaned over excitedly, "Old Mr. Lupine, you mean, this black magic creature, um, Mary, gave birth to offspring three years ago, which represents the direction of her life." The end, may I ask how long it will take to die."
Lyle stared and blew on his beard, "Merlin's beard, how can you ask such a cruel question!"
Montgomery smiled apologetically, "Please look at the past friendship and satisfy my poor little desire for knowledge."
Lyle obviously enjoyed Montgomery's attitude, pursed his lips, "One week."
"Oh~"
He took out a silk scarf from the neckline of his suit jacket and covered his eyes, "Woo, you don't know, my dad took me to deliver the baby to Mary's mother, and I watched Mary give birth with my own eyes. What a wonderful leap of life, and what a loving name Daddy gave her, Mary."
"Oh~ my Mary~"
"I know, she will go to the depths of the valley, lick the sweet spring, smell the fragrance of flowers and plants, and then lie down on the flat ground with abundant water and plants, and finally turn into a stone sculpture."
"I have never dared to accept such a fact. I dare not go to see her. I am guilty and handed her over to the evil Adams."
"Oh~~my poor Mary~~~~"
"Maybe..." Montgomery exchanged glances with Scrimgeour, "You can go and have a look now. There are two dark magic creatures in the factory. I don't know if the older one is what you said." Mary'."
Lyle froze for a moment, "This is impossible!"
"A magical creature like Amidododo will definitely die after giving birth, otherwise she will keep absorbing the child's strength and making the child weak and sick. This is impossible, they are the most loving creatures!"
"Amido Dodo?" Lupine (Remus) exclaimed in surprise. "Chocolate Factory? It's a perfect fit."
Lyle looked back at his son with a smile, "Yes, this is the most romantic decision of our ancestors, to provide a habitat for Amidododuo, and they provide us with chocolate frogs."
Seeing Montgomery and Anton looking at him curiously, Lupine couldn't help smiling, "Amidododuo is a white deer enlightened by the God of Love in the forest in myths and legends. Of course, as a kind of black magic Creatures, she is indeed more naughty, she always likes to turn the things she sees into frogs and let them play with her."
Lyle was very satisfied with his son's understanding of black magic creatures, and nodded, "Our Lupine family has become good partners with a unique forest elf like Amidododo, and we have been interdependent for generations."
Scrimgeour retched, and met the fierce gazes of the two Lupins, with an expression about to spit out, "So, you mean to say that the chocolate frogs I like to eat since I was a child are all black magic creatures. changing?"
Lyle narrowed his eyes and stared at him fiercely, "Why, what's your problem?"
Scrimgeour let out a laugh, "What's the problem? I really should show you the Auror archives, how many wizards in history have been turned into frogs by Amida, and then..."
"It's like a cat catching a mouse, playing with it recklessly, and eventually biting it to death!"
"Xue Te, I only now know that the white deer in the factory is Amida Duoduo, and no one has told me all this time!"
"Mary won't do that!" Lyle stood up angrily, stared at Scrimgeour coldly, and trembled with anger, "They are the most loving race, and they have been with the Lupine family for generations. Living in this valley, I have never done anything harmful!"
Scrimgeour shrugged and muttered, "Who knows?"
Lyle tugged on Scrimgeour's collar, his whole face flushed with anger, "Apologize, you have to apologize for your stupid remarks, I won't allow you to humiliate my cuties!"
Anton blinked at the side, inexplicably feeling that this Mr. Lyle looked familiar, as if...
The big baby in his sixties, Rubeus Hagrid.
