The party didn't end until midnight, and Tony left the guests to his assistants and Happy, and hurried back to Stark Tower with Newbella.

The moonlight is thin, and the hall where people come and go during the day is silent at this time. Only the top ten floors of the research and development department are lit, and the Aurors and the left-behind [Avengers] members are working overtime .

"How's the progress?" Newbella asked as soon as he entered the door. "Is there any news about Ares? I...I seem to see him at the Disney Concert Hall tonight."

Everyone was startled.

"Did you just say...you saw Ares at the Disney Concert Hall?" Tony asked, "When did it happen? Why don't I know."

"What happened when you were chatting with Hammer, I... I was so scared. And," she paused, "I didn't see the other person's face clearly, if it wasn't Ares, wouldn't you worry in vain? "

"Even so, you should tell me." Tony dissatisfied, "I am your guardian, I need to know..."

"Tony, can you wait a moment, and then worry about the responsibility of the guardian later?" Dr. Banner, who was temporarily called by the captain to work overtime, said, "Let me introduce first, this is Miss Granger, she is Gringotts responsible for the theft."

Beside the operating table, a young woman with long chestnut hair raised her head and smiled at them gently: "Hello."

"You... Hello." Newbella hurriedly said, "I'm Newbella."

"I'm her father." Tony said in a muffled voice, he was obviously still angry, "I hope the metal box here won't scare you, last time an Auror was frightened by the display, Professor Dumbledore had to Put him...well, petrified? It's scary anyway!"

Miss Granger laughed heartily: "Oh, this is impossible. I was born in a Muggle family, and my parents and relatives are ordinary people who don't know magic."

She closed the computer casually, walked over with a document, and continued: "I am familiar with these high-tech products, you don't need to worry."

"Then I'm relieved." Tony imitated the actions of theater actors when they called the curtain, and bowed exaggeratedly to Miss Granger, "Welcome to Stark Tower."

Miss Granger handed the document in her hand to Newbella: "My colleague will come to ask you about Ares's appearance later, I hope you can cooperate."

"Oh, no problem." Newbella opened the file, and a liquid-like, silvery thing appeared in front of her eyes, "What is this?"

"This is the fur of an invisible beast," said Miss Granger. "Please pick it up."

Newbella did, picking up the little piece of fur with two fingers, and then she noticed... her fingers were missing.

"What's the situation?" Tony shouted loudly, "Is this... is this... something that can make people invisible?"

Miss Granger nodded with a complicated expression: "Invisible beasts are precious magical creatures. They are invisible most of the time. After many years of research, Professor Newt discovered that its fur has the magic of invisibility. He specially wrote He published this book and announced his research results to the world. His original intention was to let wizards have a better understanding of magical creatures, but he attracted a large number of profit-driven businessmen."

"...What did those merchants do to the invisible beast?" Newbella asked, as Dr. Banner and Tony took the pelt in their hands and studied it carefully.

"They hunted invisible beasts on a large scale, and made their furs into invisibility cloaks. One piece can be sold for hundreds of thousands of Galleons in Knockturn Alley - the black | market for wizards." Miss Granger said. He looked rather angry, "The number of invisible beasts is not that many, and after so many tosses, they will soon be on the verge of extinction."

"I...I sympathize with the invisible beast, but does it have anything to do with Ares?" Newbella asked in confusion, "Isn't our focus on the Excalibur?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say next." Miss Granger motioned her to turn the document backwards, "The Ministry of Magic quickly issued a ban on the protection of invisible beasts, and the punishment system is the strictest in history. I don't want to boast, But the Aurors of the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures have done a great job, and the Invisible Beasts have been properly protected for nearly ten years, and the Invisibility Cloak disappeared from the black|market for a while. Until two weeks ago-"

She pointed to a few pictures in the file: "This was taken by the Department of Magical Creatures Regulation and Control in the main habitat of invisible beasts, full of...their corpses...some are still moving, but the fur has... ..has been stripped away."

Newbella just took one look and didn't want to look again: "My God, this is too cruel!"

Miss Granger closed the folder together: "The Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures set up a special task force and dispatched the best Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, but the other party left no clues, and the investigation was once deadlocked. Then, your father took It turned up in Gringotts with this pelt."

"Don't you want to say... this piece of fur is in the vault where the Excalibur is placed... that vault..." Newbella stammered, "Could it be Ares? Ares will Those invisible beasts skinned alive...."

"The fur was indeed found near the vault where the Excalibur was kept, but we cannot conclude that Ares is the murderer of the invisible beast." Miss Granger said, "There are so many bad news, let me tell you another good news: The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures can use this pelt to find Ares."

"How to find it?"

"They received information from some informants that before the Excalibur was stolen, someone bought the furs of invisible beasts on the black market." Miss Granger took out her wand and waved it lightly, and several data sheets and photos immediately flew away. Come here, obediently half-hanging in the air. "After the Excalibur was stolen, that person is still buying the furs of invisible beasts. What's more, looking at these coats of arms, they all appeared where the person stood."

"Fire and sword." Newbella muttered to himself looking at the moving photos, "Aris."

"I heard from Lucifer that you protoss can enter all confined spaces created by humans without hindrance." Miss Granger put away her wand. "So, what about the goblin's vault? They are not human beings."

Newbella was confused: "It stands to reason that all the tools made by earth creatures will not work for the Greek gods. Maybe it will work for me, I... I am just a demigod, but Ares...he is the gods The son of the king, I...I can't figure it out, why does he need an invisibility cloak? His divine power is so powerful!."

"Perhaps, this is a trap." After listening to her words, Miss Granger thought seriously, "He deliberately left clues so that we could find him? But why?"

"Yeah, why?" Newbella said softly, "His experiments are really getting weirder."

"In any case, we will find out his motives." Miss Granger said firmly, and turned to her colleagues, "Ginny, call them over for a meeting!"

"Okay!" A witch with fiery red hair responded, and then she put on her burqa, hurriedly opened the door and went out.

"Go and rest first." Miss Granger said considerately, "The captain said that you and Peter will have an important exam next month, so he let Peter go."

"Didn't Peter go to Seattle?" Newbella heard this sharply, "Where is he?"

"An hour ago, he was still working on the problem in the small conference room." Miss Granger thought for a while, "Maybe he is still there now."

"OK, thanks."

Before Newbella left, she heard her father and Banner discussing the possibility of artificially synthesizing invisible animal fur. Miss Granger thought it was unlikely, because invisibility itself is a kind of magic, and magic cannot be obtained by manpower.

Newbella walked into the small conference room and was surprised to find that not only Peter was there, but Gemma and Daisy were also there.Judging from their expressions, the three of them seemed to be preoccupied.

"What are you discussing in the middle of the night?" She looked down at the table for something to drink, and talked to Miss Granger for a long time, she was almost dying of thirst.

"Have you seen Miss Granger?" Gemma tried her best, "What do you think of her?"

"She is the person in charge of the project at a young age, so she must be very capable. She is also good-looking, and I like her." Newbella said casually, "What's the matter with you? You are lifeless."

The three of them exchanged tangled eyes, and each of them looked constipated, as if they didn't know how to speak to her.

"Damn it, maybe Lucifer is acting as a demon in action!" Newbella put down the paper cup anxiously, "What's wrong with him?"

"No, it has nothing to do with Lucifer." Peter hurriedly said, "Yes... yes... something was lost in the laboratory."

Newbella breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death, I thought he... lost something in the laboratory?"

""Alipe's Notes"." Gemma trembled, "I'm sorry, I know you said you can't tell others. But I... I don't know who to call, I..."

"Peter and I were there when Gemma found out that the note was missing." Daisy patted Gemma's back comfortingly, "She's not good at covering up, you...don't blame her."

The water that Newbella just drank dripped down the corner of her mouth. She looked at Gemma, Daisy and Peter with empty eyes, and was speechless for a while.

"New Bella?" Peter realized that something was wrong with her, he quickly stood up, and waved his hand in front of her eyes, "You...you say something!"

"We suspect that it was done by an insider. I have already got all the permissions of the monitors." Daisy said nervously, "I can find the notes, don't worry."

"Is that notebook important? Will Olympus punish you?" Gemma was about to cry, "I'm sorry, I... I obviously put it in the safe."

"Ares, it must be him." Peter said angrily, "No safe can lock him, but what does he need notes for?"

Newbella was dizzy, and her ears were buzzing: "His... new experiment? The notes mentioned many herbs in the Holy Mountain of Olympus, most of which are poison|drugs...."

"My God!" Gemma cried, covering her face, "It's all my fault."

"No, no, it's not your fault." Newbella sat down slowly on the floor. She was frightened tonight, and her legs went limp more than once. "I brought the notes to Earth, and it's my fault."

"Don't argue whose fault it is." Daisy licked her lips, "Those poison|drugs grow in Olympus, Ares shouldn't be able to get them? Didn't you say...his departure violated the regulations? ?”

"It's Hera." Newbera replied weakly, "Hera is the Queen of God, she can violate all kinds of regulations as she pleases."

The small conference room suddenly fell silent, Gemma's sobbing became particularly sharp, and the wind whistling outside the window, the two sounds superimposed together made it sound creepy.

The author has something to say: Lucifer: Get shot while lying down ╮(╯_╰)╭

Ares: My mother is Hera, hehehe~
