Chapter 428: Empty
"Sorry, do I know you?" Tolkien held a pipe in his hand and looked at Zhao Mai with confusion. "I don't remember that I've been to the East! Where did you hear my name?"
Zhao Mai was stunned for a moment, and then said for a while: "I not only know you, but also your wife Edith. We are good friends to go to school together!"
"Sorry, I really can't remember it, but I do think you look familiar." Tolkien frowned hard and blocked the door with his body: "Can you say your name again?"
"Mac Dragon Roar." Zhao Mai sighed. Even if he was slow, he knew something was wrong. He stayed in Lemay Manor for a few days, used the reincarnation technique, and learned some alchemy formulas using magic stones. He was going to pick up Ado at Tolkien's house, but he didn't expect to find Ado, and even Tolkien forgot about him.
"By the way, I remembered it. I found a book before, with this name on it." Tolkien finally let the door open: "Come in, I'll give you that book, and I'll ask you something."
Zhao Mai nodded, then gave Xiaohua a wink. She flew into the house like a ghost to check, and then flew back in a while: "There is no trace of Adu."
"Then let's sit and go and find him." Zhao Mai ordered: "You enter the green dream and see if you can locate Adu. If it doesn't work, then you can only rely on the nose of the reserved grain!"
The furnishings in the house were still there, and there was no sign of fighting, which made Zhao Mai breathe a little relieved. After a while, Tolkien walked down with a book: "I have no impression of this book at all, but there is a sentence on the title page: I give it to my good friend m·ds, it should be you, right?"
"I think so." Zhao Mai nodded and took over the book. The title is "The Lost Story Collection", which seems to have been completed. "Oh by the way, there are also Christmas gifts I have prepared for you. I should have come early."
Zhao Mai gave the blank notebook to Tolkien, and the other party smiled and accepted it. A spell that forgets and empty will wash away people's memories, but it will still leave some feelings of the past, so Tolkien thinks that Zhao Mai is a trustworthy friend, otherwise he would not let a stranger enter the house.
"Oh, Tolkien has always wanted such a hardcover book. Thank you so much." Edith walked out of the kitchen in an apron and said to Zhao Mai with a smile: "Do you want to stay for dinner? I just learned a dish and it was not well cooked. Maybe you can give me some advice. I don't know why Tolkien wants to eat such a strange thing."
Zhao Mai tilted his head and saw what was being cooked in the kitchen pot with his supernatural powers: a meatball was wrapped in the center of the thick noodles, accompanied by chopped cabbage, which was dumplings. He clenched his fists secretly, making his voice calm as usual: "You are too polite. I have already made arrangements tonight, so I won't disturb you much."
He smiled and said goodbye, and then left, he punched the car. "Have you found Adu?" His voice and hands were trembling, and the natural force was like a gathering storm.
"I found it, I'm fishing with my magic wand..." Xiaohua retreated from the green dream and said to Zhao Mai. The latter asked about the direction, turned into a giant eagle and flew up, and rushed to the river as fast as possible.
Ado's body was dirty, and he smashed the ice on the river with his fist, reached out to grab a fish that was shocked from inside, and then walked back to the shore. There was a small place to settle down under the bridge hole, and surrounded a bonfire with stones. He waved his wand: "Ado!" A ball of flame rose, and then he inserted the fish with branches and placed it on the bonfire to grill.
"Ado!" Zhao Mai landed on the ground: "Are you okay?"
"Ado?Ado!" Ado smiled honestly. The grilled fish in his hand was shaking, and the meaning was very obvious: Do you want to eat it? You have to wait for a while to eat it.
"What happened?" Zhao Mai pulled Ado, "Follow me, the car will arrive soon. Tell me everything in full."
"Ador?"
It was too embarrassing to ask Ador to write down everything, but fortunately there was another way. They drove back to Hogwarts, and Zhao Mai knocked on Dumbledore's door.
The professor of Transformation looked at everyone with some wonder: "What happened, why are you so excited?"
"I want to borrow a branch hat, which can convey Ado's ideas." Zhao Mai said: "Tolkien was released by someone's forgetting spell, and Ado was abandoned on the street. I probably know who did it, but I want to know what's going on!"
"What?!" Dumbledore's voice suddenly increased a lot. Without hesitation, he brought everyone to the school's showroom, where the honors of Hogwarts' history and many treasures were placed. The branch hat was lowered and hummed, as if he was creating a song to sing at the branch ceremony next year. It had been worried about this matter for a whole year, so it was very "busy" every day.
"Oh, I actually have guests! Can I say no?" The branch hat giggled, "I was joking. I'm glad someone came to see me, but in the end everyone either smoked me with oil or tickled me in the stomach. Which one are you?"
Dumbledore unbuttoned the protective spell around him, then picked up the branch hat and buckled it onto Ado's head. Zhao Mai brought a chair over and let Ado sit on it. "What happened, tell me what happened."
Adu’s memories were told by the branch hat, which was wonderful. "Don’t add fuel to the fire, you can say whatever Adu thinks!" Zhao Mai made the branch hat shake in a stern tone, and then he honestly and straightforwardly finished everything.
Ador's mind was different from ordinary people. His real thoughts were locked in the "past" by Bran, so the forgetting spell did not work. Even Grindelwald did not expect this situation: Ador still remembered everything firmly. The school hat retelled all the conversation between Grindelwald and Tolkien. When he heard Tolkien ask Grindelwald to wash away all his magic-related memories, Zhao Mai squatted on the ground, covered his face and started crying.
After Grindelwald used his magic, he left with all the research materials related to the ancient spells. After Tolkien and Edith recovered their consciousness, they did not know the giant Ado at all. Fortunately, they still had residual emotions, so they did not attack Ado, but just drove him out of the house based on the feeling of "not liking to wizards".
Ador only said "Ador" and couldn't explain this matter clearly. Later, he wanted to go back to Hogwarts, but he was worried that Zhao Mai would not be able to find him, so he stayed not far from Tolkien's house, looking for something to eat everywhere, and insisted on Zhao Mai's return.
Zhao Mai became more and more sad as he cried, not only for Tolkien, but also because of this incident, which aroused his concern for his family. He was moved by the scene, and the two were superimposed, and he sat on the ground and cried so hard that he could not. Xiaohua lay on his back, and the reserved grain came into his arms and comforted him silently. After a while, he slowly stopped. Dumbledore stretched out his hand and wanted to help him up from the ground.
