When Wade was still four or five centimeters from the fledgling, he suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation in his fingers. At the same time, he saw Rolf's hair stand on end, like a porcupine's quills.
Wade understood in his heart that he himself must look the same.
Rolf let out a silent laugh, then tugged on Wade's arm again. The two of them, like thieves, slipped away from the stone pillar.
Turning left and right, they arrived at a warm and humid bamboo grove. Rolf then burst out laughing loudly.
"Isn't it amazing? Thunderbirds' fledglings are naturally electrified."
Rolf laughed heartily, then dipped his hand in the water on a bamboo leaf and smoothed his messy hair.
Wade drew his wand: "Aguamenti."
A stream of water cascaded down the bamboo branch, and Rolf immediately gave a big thumbs up!
The two of them tidied their hair with the clear water. Wade suddenly saw a dung beetle, larger than a Kneazle, slowly pushing an equally enormous dung ball past them from behind.
Newt's suitcase space was even more wondrous than the Grallings' farm. Walking a short distance inside felt like entering a new world.
Turning a corner, the bamboo grove transformed into a tropical savanna; wandering casually for a while, they unwittingly found themselves in a rainforest.
Between a world of ice and snow and one of birdsong and fragrant flowers, there was only a door curtain; on either side of giant rocks, sand and water were separated.
A small cave in the distance, upon entering, rapidly expanded in space, quickly becoming a huge stone cavern;
An ordinary oak door, when pulled open, revealed distant mountains and an endless lake.
Moreover, Newt also kept many dangerous creatures of 4X and even 5X classification. In front of the man, these terrifying creatures were like docile children, lowering their heads to enjoy his touch.
Even Rolf could freely play with or feed these creatures without any worry of being harmed.
"I just love them," Rolf said, puffing out his cheeks. "But Grandpa always says we can't keep them in such confined spaces."
"So, even though he always rescues magical creatures in distress, once they can survive independently, he releases them back to their original habitats."
"If only animals could use the Book of Friends… that way, even if we were separated, we wouldn't lose touch."
As he spoke, he hugged a young Re'em, both creatures looking at Wade with similarly pitiful, hopeful eyes.
Wade couldn't help but laugh: "Even if I could make animals use the Book of Friends, they can't read!"
Rolf's expression immediately crumpled. He sighed, full of sorrow, "Ugh, I knew it wouldn't work… Is there no way to communicate without writing?"
"There is," Wade said, sitting beside him. "A two-way mirror can do it, can't it?"
"But two-way mirrors are rare, and too expensive," Rolf said dejectedly. "I have many friends, but too little pocket money."
Wade couldn't help but laugh again.
The small boy was round-headed and adorable. When he made such a grown-up, sorrowful expression, he looked even funnier.
As he laughed, a faint stir touched his heart.
A two-way mirror… seems like a good direction for research…
After a tour, Wade also took the opportunity to ask Newt about the application of the Undetectable Extension Charm.
Newt dedicated his life to protecting magical creatures, and his wondrous suitcase played a vital role in this. In the application of the Undetectable Extension Charm, Wade suspected that even Dumbledore couldn't compare to Newt.
He was, without a doubt, a world-class master in this field.
Wade also showed Newt his pen box. Layer after layer of its form gradually unfolded, finally revealing a tall wardrobe.
Seeing the wardrobe, which was taller than a person, Newt was stunned for a while before muttering under his breath, "Yes, a wardrobe is so convenient…"
He hadn't realized it when he was young, but now that he was older, he found that climbing up and down the stairs inside his suitcase every day was a huge test for all his bones.
Newt and Wade stepped into the wardrobe space. After circling once, Newt remarked approvingly, "What an excellent application… I never thought a twelve-year-old wizard could achieve this level…"
"But as it is, it's just an ordinary storage space."
Wade frowned. "It doesn't seem to be able to seamlessly piece together many spaces like your suitcase does, without any conflict or odd feeling."
When discussing his most proficient field, Newt visibly exuded confidence. He smiled and said, "Space stitching… that's a very apt description."
"My suitcase does indeed have many real-world spaces stitched together."
"Real-world spaces?" Wade asked, pondering. "Is it like folding a space and then unfolding it inside the suitcase… that kind of magic?"
"It's not that complicated."
Newt cupped his hands, thought for a moment, then said:
"You know, for magical creatures, the most dangerous beings on this planet are humans, numbering in the billions."
"Humans are converting more and more natural environments into cities of steel and concrete, leaving fewer and fewer suitable habitats for animals."
"To provide suitable habitats for the little ones, before the local environment was destroyed by Muggles, I used a Severing Charm to cut out a section of an area, and then… well, the Shrinking Charm and Enlarging Charm completed the transfer…"
He made it sound simple, but Wade thought about it and knew that the difficulty of this task was extremely high… almost as high as a skyscraper.
To give a simple example—
Before the Christmas holiday, Wade once saw older students obtain a tall spruce tree, intending to decorate it as the tallest Christmas tree in the school.
That spruce tree, which Hagrid could carry by himself, required five or six students to simultaneously use a Levitation Charm to move it to the proper position.
And Newt?
His suitcase even contained a snow-capped mountain!
Newt continued, "Sometimes it's not even that much trouble; you can use the Space-Connecting Charm to link a part of the box's interior with an external space, allowing them to be mutually accessible."
"You see that lake? It connects to Loch Ness in Scotland below, and Kelpies can travel between both sides."
"However, this carries the risk of invasion, so you must be extra careful when choosing to connect spaces."
"In that case, how do you ensure the stability of the space inside the suitcase?"
Wade asked, "I heard that if the spell fails, the internal objects might explode the container. But I see you don't seem to worry about this issue."
"Well, that's a little trick of mine."
Newt gave a slightly smug smile. "When I was traveling, I learned a method of partitioning space from magical creatures…"
