Chapter 1080
Is the Forbidden Forest under Hogwarts' jurisdiction and oversight?
The correct answer is: no.
The Forbidden Forest is only bordering Hogwarts, and the meadow outside the Forbidden Forest belongs to Hogwarts, but the Forbidden Forest itself is not.
The position of forest ranger was created to prevent creatures from escaping from the forbidden forest.
In the early days of Hogwarts, the Ranger was a fairly important position, usually held by powerful wizards, or directly by one or more professors. They need to patrol the Forbidden Forest on a regular basis, and they need to monitor security threats inside the Forbidden Forest in real time and eliminate them if they could endanger Hogwarts.
If it weren't for the fact that the Big Four signed a contract with the centaurs inside the Forbidden Forest and let the centaurs take on part of the defense tasks, with Hagrid's level, he really wouldn't have been able to cope with the patrolman's errand.
Considering that Solim has eliminated the nest of the eight-eyed "One-One-Three" giant spider and eliminated the hidden danger of the Dark Horse People, it can be said that the current Forbidden Forest is the safest period since the establishment of Hogwarts.
But not anymore after tonight, something in the depths of the Forbidden Forest began to stir.
Solim had never dared to say how much he knew about the Forbidden Forest, and although he had been to a relatively deep place like the Dark Horse Village before, he had no idea what was going on in the depths.
The Forbidden Forest is quite large – many people know that, but few can say exactly how big it is.
Most people's knowledge of the Forbidden Forest is limited to vague descriptions of "dangerous" and "unknown", and many people don't even know exactly where the Forbidden Forest is.
Hogwarts is located in Scotland, north of the Grambian Mountains, and the Forbidden Forest stretches from the northeast of Hogwarts to the west of Aberdeen and south to the Granflats, which is an extremely large area, even larger than some small European countries.
With such a large forest, who dares to say that they understand?
For Hogwarts, the "depths of the Forbidden Forest" simply include the Dark Horse Village and the area occupied by the Eight-Eyed Spider, and as far as the Forbidden Forest as a whole is concerned, it is just a "periphery".
Although Solim can't compare to the experts when it comes to magical creatures, he can also directly name dozens of dangerous creatures that like to live in the environment of the Forbidden Forest. Rumors of a human-headed scorpion-tailed manticore in the Forbidden Forest have been circulating decades ago, if this is true......
Solim suddenly regretted it a little.
Whether it's Kemera or a sphindi, these top-notch magical creatures basically have one thing in common: they can withstand almost all magic, even fire.
In Solim's opinion, the skin of such magical creatures is more resistant to magic than to magic. Any magic dissipates upon contact with the skin of these creatures. When confronted with this magical creature that is extremely unfriendly to wizards, the only thing a wizard can do is to run away.
"I've heard some rumors—" Solim wanted to get some news from Dumbledore first, as the Headmaster of Hogwarts must know more about the Forbidden Forest than he does.
"—Is it true that there are Kemeralmon and human-headed sphinxes in the Forbidden Forest?"
"It's true. "
Solim immediately wanted to refuse, but fortunately he hadn't made a real commitment to Dumbledore before.
The sphinx, however, died of old age decades ago, when Hagrid buried it. Dumbledore said, "As far as I know, there seems to be only one manticored in the Forbidden Forest, and it has escaped from somewhere else. "
Seem?
Such ambiguity could not convince Solim.
"What about Kemeramon?"
"......," Dumbledore was silent for a moment, "that is. "
............
"Sorry to bother, farewell. "Solim wants to summon the ashes right now and let his phoenix take him back.
What are you kidding!What is Kemeramon?
It's an unusually bloodthirsty and violent magical creature, a "stitching monster" with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a dragon's tail — it's a cannibal!
There are more people who like to eat people, and there are many people who like to eat people, such as the ground width, the eight-eyed giant spider, and the big-headed hairy monster...... They eat people in a variety of ways, but Solim isn't worried, why?
Because these magical creatures that also eat people cannot pose a threat to him.
But Kemera is different, Solim can't even pose a threat with this kind of guy. His spell could not hurt Kemeramon, but the poisonous fire gushing from Kemeramon's mouth could kill him, and not only that, but the roar of Kemera could shock the soul and cause those who heard it to fall into a momentary stupor, and when they came to their senses, they would find that they had been gnawed off half of their bodies.....
As for the human-headed sphinoid manticore, which had died of old age, Dumbledore's mouth was not much different.
Like the lion-headed, sheep-like, and dragon-tailed Kemeramon, the human-headed scorpion-tailed scorpion-tailed is also a "stitching monster". (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The Sphinx is a colloquial name, and the correct and sophisticated way to say it would be "Manticor", which means "cannibal". This treacherous creature will hide in the shadows, lure humans with their songs, and then eat them.
The point is, this song is like a powerful Imperius curse that will make people willingly go to the sphinx manticore, and if it's in a good mood, maybe it will talk to you before eating you...... That's right, the human-headed sphinx is talking.
Dumbledore said that the only human-headed sphin-tailed mantikin in the Forbidden Forest was dead, but Solim was only half convinced - there was indeed a "Manticor" in the Forbidden Forest who died, but it was a question mark if it wasn't the "only".
"Headmaster, do you think too much of me?" Solim muttered.
"Eight-eyed spider? "[]
"Dark Horse Man? I can handle it too. "
"But Kemeramon...... That's not something I can touch. "
"I'm happy to help Hogwarts with some minor issues. "But that doesn't mean I'm willing to risk my life......
"I didn't ask you to deal with Kemeramon, my dear Solim. Dumbledore said mildly, he seemed to understand Solim's attitude at this point.
"In fact, the 5.3 Kemera has already been wounded by me, and it should now be hiding somewhere deep in the Forbidden Forest to recuperate—it's badly wounded, I'm sure of that. "
Listen! Dumbledore only wounded a Kemera beast, but failed to kill it on the spot. Solim believed that Dumbledore would not allow such a potentially Hogwarts threat creature to roam the Forbidden Forest if he could, but he was unable to do so.
"I think you did a very good job last time," Dumbledore said, "and it's not just the Dark Horse people here. "
"I don't mind if you get some help. "
It dawned on Solim.
The Basque may be able to splash and roll in his beloved Forbidden Forest again.
Solim believed that the basilisk, who had been raised by himself, would be happy to hear this.
