Chapter 20 Convincing Scamander with Reason
When Rolf found Fleur and Gabrielle, the performance of the Mystic Circus was coming to an end.
The seemingly clumsy half-human monster completed the pommel horse in gymnastics again... first it turned upside down 180 degrees, and after falling, Thomas turned 90 degrees, like a flexible fat man.
Half-human troll... As the name suggests, a hybrid species between a wizard and a troll. It looks like a troll, but not so ugly.
His intelligence is not as smart as that of a wizard, but it is much higher than that of a troll, so he can be trained to be so obedient.
However, when performing the uneven bars, the half-human giant finally made a mistake.
He didn't hold on to the pole tightly, he lost his balance, and fell down in an upside-down position. His head hit the ground with a cry, and then he fell straight to the ground.
Many viewers cheered: "Refund! Refund!"
Skander smiled reluctantly, raised his wand high, as if waving a whip, and slapped the half-human troll on the face, urging him not to pretend to be dead and to get up quickly.
The half-human giant lay on the ground and rolled around wailing, breaking the railing. Perhaps by accident or as a result of the show, it hit Skander's head directly.
Seeing this funny scene, the wizard laughed even more, but the half-human troll got a more serious whipping.
Gabrielle couldn't help but laugh. The little girl pulled Fleur's sleeves, frowned and said, "Sister, I'm so pitiful."
Seeing such a scene, Fleur couldn't bear it, but she couldn't do anything about it. After all, this was a magical creature from the circus.
After the half-human giant struggled for a long time, Skander finally announced that tonight's performance was over, but most of the audience were still not satisfied and did not allow him to leave, and threw Galleons towards the stage.
Skander smiled. This was the effect he wanted. He quickly opened another cage and an orc climbed out.
She wears a felt hat, has a scarred witch face, and has six retractable arms. She looks a lot like Spider-Man.
"Please enjoy..." Skander shouted: "Black Widow vs. Catwoman!"
The house elf rolled out a large carousel with a Catwoman tied to it. She was covered in long hair and only her face was that of a woman.
Catwoman has apples tied to her chest, mouth, arms and ankles.
The house elf turned the wheel, and Black Widow's six arms held six throwing knives, quickly throwing them... and stabbing them into the apple accurately.
The whole audience burst into cheers and cheers, which made the restaurant tremble.
A dwarf came over, holding a wizard hat in his hand, ready to collect money. He was also very funny:
His head is disproportionately large, and under his bulging forehead is a twisted, weird face with one big and one small eye. He also has a pair of deformed legs. The soles of his feet have hard pads and thick brown curly hair, so he doesn't wear shoes. .
A dwarf is a Muggle beast... and he is different from a squib. A squib is a person who comes from a wizarding family but cannot use magic.

Muggle beasts are the hybrid offspring of Muggles and magical animals, so they look ugly.
Rolf threw a Nat into the wizard's hat, and a Sickle appeared in his hand, but he threw it into the dwarf's pocket, and finally a Galleon appeared in his hand.
The boy was playing with the Galleons. The coin was like an elf, rolling and spinning rapidly on the back of his hand and between his fingers, as if it was dancing a cheerful dance.
The dwarf looked at Garen greedily, bowed and asked, "Sir, do you have any orders?"
"I want to know what the mermaid you are going to perform tomorrow looks like?" Luo Fu smiled and said, "Is it beautiful? If it's too ugly, I won't watch it."
The dwarf grinned and said:
"Sir, I haven't seen that mermaid yet, but I heard from Mr. Skander... it's a two-tailed mermaid, the most beautiful one. You must not miss it."
Luofu's expression remained unchanged. With a flick of his finger, the Galleons flew to the dwarf's pocket. He whispered:
"That's worth looking forward to."
After waiting for the Muggle Beast to go away, Fleur leaned into the young man's ear and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"Do you remember that I told you that I have a mermaid friend?" Luofu said with gloomy eyes, "She is a two-tailed mermaid."
"Could it be her?" Fleur was slightly shocked.
"It's hard to say. Missanla is alone and in an unfamiliar sea." Luofu narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm going to check it out. I hope it's not her."
"Want me to help?" Fleur asked.
"Not yet." Rolf shook his head and said, "I'm just going to check. If anything happens, I will write a note and ask Groot to bring it to you."
The boy raised his hand, and in his hand stood a Bowtruckle. It looked at Fleur, and then made a face.
Fleur hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and asked, "Rolph, if I'm sure... it's your friend?"
The young man put a smile on his lips and said, "Then I can only use what I'm best at...to convince people with reason."
…
…
As the performance ended and the audience slowly dispersed, the house elves hurriedly packed their belongings, put the orcs into cages, and then moved them into a tent.
Skander held the wizard's hat and counted the proceeds from tonight's performance.
This wizard's hat was magical, and the Galleons that fell into it could not be taken out, so he was not worried about the Muggle beast stealing money from it.
After Skander finished tapping, he whistled and called the Muggle beast over. He smiled contemptuously and said:
"Pete, take the galleons out of your pocket."
"Mr. Skander, I didn't take... take the money..." Pete had a look of horror on his face.
Skander waved his wand, and a Galleon and a Sickle flew out of the Muggle beast's pocket.
"What do you say now?" Skander asked coldly.
"Why... why is there Galleons in my pocket?!" the dwarf stared with eyes full of disbelief and said:
"Who put that in my pocket?!"
Skander kicked Peter in the stomach and cursed: "You immature little bastard! Fuck your mother!"
But then he had a strange look on his face and pouted a few times. He remembered that the mother of this Muggle beast was an invisible beast, so he wasn't at a disadvantage!
Skander waved his wand, like a whip, and struck it hard. The dwarf fell to the ground, and a deep and thin blood mark appeared on his face.
Skander whipped him ten times in succession, and the dwarf lay on the ground, breathing loudly, his face flushed, whimpering and choking, looking like a complete wretch.
"Why did that man give you galleons?"
"He...he asked if tomorrow's mermaid was pretty." The dwarf cried: "I told him it was beautiful...and asked him not to miss it."
Skander's eyes were cold and he said, "Could it be an Auror?"
"No... sir, I swear... he is just a teenager." The dwarf promised: "I can identify him if I see him again!"
"If you weren't very good at taming magical creatures, I would have thrown you to that black widow tonight." Skander said with a look of disgust: "If you dare to take money randomly again, I will cut off your hand. ”
Skander pointed at the tent with his wand. The tent kept folding, getting smaller and smaller, until it finally became the size of a handkerchief. He put it in his pocket.
"Let's go... to accept the goods. I heard it's a two-tailed mermaid!"
