"Quickly, revive."
Accompanied by a milky white glow shining down upon him, Richard finally woke up.
He suddenly sat up from the ground, looked around, and his pupils shrank sharply.
At this moment, what entered his eyes were the 'corpses' of Inuit wanderers lying prostrate all around him, and not far away, a gray-haired, lecherous-looking old man was rubbing his hands and grinning foolishly beside the unconscious white-haired girl and Sam, as if he was about to do something cruel the very next second.
"Ah… Is this hell?'
Richard couldn't help but think so, and at the same time, his face showed a look of despair.
But just then, a familiar voice reached his ears.
"Alright, let's hear it. This place, and that Yuki-onna, what exactly is going on?"
Hearing this, Richard sluggishly looked up, and saw that the blond boy named Link was sitting on a rock with legs crossed, smiling at him.
Professor Kettleburn stood beside him with an unfriendly expression, looking just like a bodyguard beside a spoiled young master.
"Ha!" This made Richard laugh angrily.
But he also understood that resisting now would be meaningless. Interrogation, Veritaserum, Legilimency…
These demons before him had far too many ways to extract the secrets in his heart.
So in the end, he opened his mouth in an epic tone and said, "Want to know? Then let me tell you a story."
"When I was still little, my mother used to scare me to sleep with tales of the Snow Monster. But what she didn't know was, I was not scared at all. On the contrary, I developed a strong interest in Snow Monsters."
"So, on a sunny afternoon, full of longing, I sneaked into the snowfields, hoping to catch a glimpse of one. Unfortunately, I hadn't walked far before I fell into an ice cave."
"Tragically, I broke my leg. But I didn't care about the pain. All my attention was captured by the beauty before my eyes!"
"You know what? The ice cave I saw wasn't the kind of icy hole you're thinking of. It was a deep-blue palace of ice and snow! And there, I finally met my Snow Monster!"
"She wasn't the giant, furry, stinky savage in Mom's stories, she was a princess living in an ice-blue castle!
She was gentle…"
"Stop."
Link raised a hand, interrupting Richard's dramatic tale. Then he pointed to the white-haired girl lying nearby and said, "I get it. The Snow Monster you mentioned is that girl lying over there. She saved you when you were a child, and then, you fell in love with her?"
Richard blankly nodded, clearly still stunned by Link's sudden interruption.
"So, all that stuff you said before about being unable to live in either the wizarding or Muggle worlds, was a lie? You just wanted to go back to the countryside and marry your childhood dream girl?"
"Er… you could say that." Richard's face flushed red, and his voice grew quieter.
Because the truth was, he really did want to marry the Snow Monster, but it was also true that he couldn't survive in either the wizarding or Muggle world.
From a certain perspective, he was basically like a loser who failed in the city, then ran home to the countryside to trick his childhood sweetheart into marriage.
But Link didn't care how embarrassed Richard felt.
He suddenly jumped down from the rock, staring Richard in the eye, and asked, "So you've never done anything horrible or twisted, like breeding depraved magical creatures?"
"Of course not! The Hot Puffflocks were all raised using my most gentle methods!"
"Then building the Miracle Land and keeping the Inuits there wasn't for using them as human test subjects, right?"
"What kind of nonsense is that?! How could I do something like that?! They're her people, if I really did that, she would skin me alive!"
Richard shouted furiously, feeling deeply insulted by Link's accusations.
Because the things Link mentioned were truly only done by those twisted, pure-blood dark wizards.
Hearing this, Link turned to look at Professor Kettleburn, who had been casting Legilimency the whole time.
Though Kettleburn's skill in Legilimency wasn't on par with monsters like Dumbledore or Voldemort, it was more than enough to verify if an ordinary wizard was lying.
After Kettleburn confirmed Richard hadn't lied, Link's brows furrowed even deeper.
He crouched down and looked at Richard at eye level, then said, "If you didn't do any of those things, then I'm confused, why did you run?"
As soon as he said that, Richard sneered, "If you keep investigating, her secret will soon be revealed. And your kind, pure-blood nobles, I know all too well. To you, anything outside your species, whether creatures or people, are all slaves and ants!"
"A unique being like her will definitely be used by rich brats like you for disgusting things!"
Hearing this, Kettleburn couldn't help but snort with laughter.
Link, however, just shook his head and said speechlessly, "You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in a block of ice. And besides, my girlfriend's way prettier than your wife."
As he spoke, Link pointed toward Emily, who was chatting with Rolf in the distance.
This made Richard's expression stiffen slightly.
Because Link was right, Emily really was prettier than the Snow Monster, and she also had a better personality.
If that was the case, then Link really had no reason to steal someone else's bride.
In the next moment, Richard quickly shook his head, throwing away all the messy thoughts in his mind, and continued viciously shouting, "Even if you wouldn't do it, that old man over there definitely would! No, he wouldn't just do it, He'd use Sezhuangni for all kinds of cruel experiments! That kind of thing… that kind of thing…"
[T/N: Sezhuangni is the Snow Monster's name.]
By now, Richard was choked up and couldn't continue.
He knelt on the ground, hand trembling as he pointed toward Newt.
And at that moment, Newt was still shooting out multicolored beams from his wand, scanning Sezhuangni's body back and forth.
Under the glow of the lights, his expression seemed even more pervy.
Honestly, this scene really did look like an evil scientist getting ready to do horrible things.
Staring at this, Link and Kettleburn lowered their heads in silence.
After a moment, Link finally pointed at Newt with a strange expression and asked, "Richard… do you seriously not know who he is?"
"Ha! Of course I do! He's just a twisted old pure-blood!"
Richard raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "Perverts like him, I've seen plenty!"
