The right way to attack Moriarty

Chapter 4 On the Importance of Storing Things

Newt ran to the study resignedly, stood on tiptoes, and reached for a Chinese book.

Newt doesn't know this kind of square characters, but he knows that they come from China, because Newt's brother has a classmate who is from China. Newt ate several pieces of pie stuffed by that foreign friend. It is said that it is eaten when the moon is full. It is really strange. When the moon is full, in addition to werewolves who want to kill people, they also eat round pies with fillings. The characters on them are similar to the characters that appear here. , square.

Newt drew a gourd according to the gourd, but found out that what happened, the characters didn’t match, and they didn’t look the same, so annoying, Newt scratched the back of his head, why did he have this so-called latest version of “The Qing Dynasty Dictionary" and the characters appearing in this system look different.

Newt sighed again, and suddenly realized that Jim's dimples were probably poisonous, and after taking a bite of Jim, he seemed to have become stupid——

Books in the magic world can be read aloud automatically. He doesn't need to know what the word looks like, he just needs to match the pronunciation.

Newt clicked on the square in his mind, thinking that it would make a sound like a magic book, but unexpectedly, after being dizzy, he came to another place.

Dark night.

Newt is in a courtyard, there is a tree in the middle of the courtyard, and beside the tree, there is a hut.

Newt pushed open the door of the hut, walked in, and found that the room was empty, with a pentagram drawn on the ground, and beside the pentagram, there was a groove, which seemed to be used to put things.

Newt walked in front of the five-star formation, and the voice of gurgling was heard again in his ears. Newt sighed, "I don't understand, it would be great if it could be translated into English."

Besides, he is a European, why should he learn Japanese.

Just as Newt thought about it, he suddenly realized that he couldn't move his hands and feet, and the feeling of being completely out of control was really bad. This made Newt feel very terrified. However, Newt quickly calmed down and followed the Looking at it now, the capabilities of this so-called system are really much greater than myself. If I really want to do something to myself, I'm afraid I don't have much room to fight back.

Thinking of this, Newt relaxed his mind, and watched his actions as a bystander.

His hands did not know where to get a pile of things that looked like raindrops, half gray and half red, two full, Newt didn't count them, but estimated that there were about a hundred of them, of course, five years old For Newt, mathematics is still limited to addition and subtraction within ten. For him, the number one hundred is already extremely high.

Newt's hand put the pile of things into the groove on the side of the pentagram, and then the pentagram glowed red.

The red light flashed for a while, as if waiting for Newt to put something in it, the voice babbled again, Newt couldn't understand a word, Newt frowned irritably, and didn't move for a long time.

After a while, the red light faded, and Newt regained control over himself.

After leaving this evil house, Newt walked around the courtyard again. The courtyard is not big, but it is not too small. In an ordinary residential area in England, it is not small. The courtyard of Newt’s own house is not too small. It's about that big.

Newt took a small step, turned around the courtyard a few times, and found a door painted with scarlet red, and two decent monsters were painted on it.

Newt looked up at the two monsters and found it interesting, so he reached out to touch them, and as soon as his hand touched the vermilion door, he was in his bedroom again in a blink of an eye.

"You're back?" The first thing Newt did when he came back was to stretch his neck and lean out the window to see the sky outside.

day.

It was pitch black inside the courtyard, but here, it was still daytime.

The wall clock in the room struck five, and Helen hadn't gotten off work yet.

"It seems that the time on the two sides is not consistent." Newt walked out of the bedroom thoughtfully, and went to the study again.

He thought, he needs to seriously study Japanese, um, and Chinese.

"This thing is simply too strange. It is spoken in Japanese, but why is it written in Chinese characters?"

Newt complained to himself, while flipping through his eight-level vocabulary book for Japanese majors, he resignedly opened the "Great Qing Dictionary".

When Helen came home, Newt was turning over a page of square words, looking at them, and taking notes from time to time.

"Oh," Helen looked at her five-year-old son and laughed, "Sure enough, he is still a child. A few days ago, he said he wanted to learn Japanese. It hasn't been a week yet?"

Newt turned back to Helen, and smirked: "Oh, Mom, Chinese is also a foreign language."

One year passed quickly, and Newt's Japanese still couldn't pass the professional eighth level. Newt's Chinese was still not the same as square characters. What could Newt do? He was also very desperate.

Newt's Japanese level, although it is said that due to his targeted learning, he has surpassed his English level in terms of reading and writing, but well, Newt's English level, um, is the normal level of a six-year-old child. level, but a few days ago, by mistake, he actually learned two new Japanese nouns - Gouyu and Shikigami.

With these two key words, Newt understood the meaning of those two sentences almost at the same time after he understood the meaning of these two words, and he also understood what the house in the courtyard was used for.

When he put a hundred hook jades into the groove, the five-star array would glow red.

And at this time, according to the prompt of that voice, Newt only needs to put the shikigami he chooses into the five-star array, and then he can form a contract with him, and the monster he chooses can become a real shikigami.

And Newt, as the master of shikigami, can control his shikigami with the spirit of words.

As for the "Gouyu", it is the pile of two big things that look like raindrops, half red and half white.

Appearing in the courtyard for the first time, the [-] goku given by the system were not consumed because Newt didn't put in the shikigami. Now they are still quietly lying aside, waiting to be used again.

Newt pondered for a while, then decided to go out and find a random magical animal to try.

Newt ran to the study on tiptoe to find a book about Fantastic Beasts, flipping through page after page.

This one looks good, but it's not from the west of England.

Tsk, this one won't work, Newt turned a page, and the comment, tsk tsk, is really ugly, with hot eyes.

Alas, this is of no use other than being cute.

Hey--

A Bowtruckle would be fine.

Only for unlocking.

Ok.

Newt turned to look at the locked door, his mother always liked to keep him locked up when she was away at work.

It's not that he didn't think of a way to get out, using his brother's retractable rope, to climb out of the window, which is easy, but after he climbed out of the window, he couldn't return home without a key.They could only stand stupidly at the door, waiting for Helen to come back and lead him.

That's stupid.

Newt stared at the Bowtruckle on the atlas, and the Bowtruckle noticed his gaze, met his gaze in turn, and quickly made a defensive gesture.

Newt poked at the Bowtruckle in the picture book and began to ponder.

If he could have a Bowtruckle—

Then he can go to many places while Helen is not around.

Like the Fantastic Beasts store in Diagon Alley.

Also, more exciting places.

Like, Knockturn Alley?

I heard that there are always all kinds of weird things there, and child labor is also recruited.

However, Theseus has always forbidden him to set foot in Knockturn Alley.

Thinking of this, Newt suddenly became excited. Adventure in every boy’s life represents blood and glory, especially where adults have expressly prohibited and repeated orders are not allowed to go, which is full of excitement and yearning.

With an eager expression on his face, Newt changed his practice of passive sabotage, and kept looking for information related to Bowtruckle in books.

Bowtruckle, Bowtruckle—

Got it!

Newt read the book without blinking, and had a general understanding of Bowtruckles——

Bowtruckles are green when they are young, and like to live on fresh and tall trees, but once they are middle-aged, they will turn grayish brown. Most of them are active in the west of England, living on trees all year round, and have a deep love for trees. The feelings, from birth to death, have stayed in the tree.

Of course, if you attack the tree where he lives, he will jump down and attack you without thinking about his own life.

Well, no IQ.Capturing doesn't need to be too strenuous.

Geographical location, um, the west of England, this is no problem, my home is in the west of England.

find a tree—

Newt turned his head and looked out the window, no problem, there were trees outside, one by one.

The question is, how do I get this Bowtruckle into the yard?

Newt opened the book again, listened to the full text, and repeated himself.

"If you attack the tree a Bowtruckle lives in, the Bowtruckle will jump down and attack you."

Jump down and attack me?

Just looking for a bag to put it away.

Newt gave a smirk and ran to Theseus's house. He remembered that there was a small bag in Theseus's house, which could hold a lot of things. When the Bowtruckle jumped down, he would use this bag to protect the Bowtruckle. I put the hunchback and it is completed!

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, Newt not only found Theseus' prank toolbox, but also found a tattered copy of "Magic Combing Encyclopedia".

Newt glanced at it, rummaged through it casually, it was quite fun, and threw it into the bag, and took out the stretch rope from Theseus' prank kit, piled up the rest of the things in a mess, and threw them all away. into the bag.

Anyway, Theseus comes back twice a year, just tidy up for him before he comes back.

Without the slightest psychological burden, Newt swaggered open the window, took Theseus's retractable rope, and looked outside.
