Chapter 306

If the Ministry of Magic was to overwhelm the centaurs by agreeing to their demands, Solim was tempting with Eli. Thanks to the Selwyn family's extensive collection of books, Solim has a certain understanding of the intelligent creatures of the centaurs. Centaurs use only two weapons: bows and arrows and spears. The stubborn horses strictly adhere to the rules handed down by the ancestors of the ancient horses, including the weapons that warriors should use.

However, the tribe of the centaurs is in the forest, and the centaurs do not have the skills to mine ore and smelt metal, they are very eager for human metal weapons, but due to the pride of the centaurs and the contempt of the wizarding society for the centaurs, there is no effective communication between the wizards and the centaurs, in fact, most wizards know nothing about the centaurs.

Solim knew what to look out for when communicating with centaurs, these extremely rugged creatures had a sensitive and delicate heart, and sometimes a wizard's casual remark could offend them.

"With less than a month to go until the start of the third event of the Triwizard Tournament, I can provide you with some weapons – bows and spears. "If you're satisfied, I can continue to provide it afterwards, and I think it's a fair deal." "

Don't look at the horses who belittle human wizards as useless, but in their hearts they are actually very envious of humans who can make iron tools. It's just that nature makes it hard for them to express it.

Solim could feel the centaur leader's heartbeat, but a leader was a leader, and unlike the ordinary, uncontrollable centaurs, Grote seemed calm—at least on the outside. The centaurs around them began to whisper when they heard that Solim could provide them with iron weapons, and even the haughty centaurs had to start looking at Solim as a foal in their eyes.

"And we centaurs are going to fetch you what those people put in the Forbidden Forest after the race starts?" asked Grote, "is that what you mean?"

"That's right. Solim nodded, "I guess you don't want those warriors to mess with the Forbidden Forest, the sooner it ends, the sooner those warriors will leave your Forbidden Forest." "

"And how can you be sure you're not cheating on us?" Bane has a natural distrust of humans, even if Solim still seems to be a child.

"I'll give you a batch of weapons before the third project begins. Solim didn't care about Bane's attitude, "I think this will give you a huge advantage against those eight-eyed spiders." "

"As far as I know. Grote stared into Solim's eyes, "Getting an Iron Weapon is a ......"

“...... Spend money?" Solim said as he followed Grote's words, and he could tell that Grote didn't know how to explain the purchase of weapons. After all, there is no such thing as trading in the society of the centaurs, they are all self-sufficient tribes, and everything they need is made by themselves.

Seeing Grom nod, Solim understood what he was hesitating about.

"Let's reintroduce myself. Solim stroked his robe, "Solim Selwyn – the 'famous' illegitimate son of the Selwyn family, I come from an ancient wizarding family. Iron weapons are not to mention wizards, even Muggles can get you a lot of them, and you centaurs don't need to worry about that. "

The heavy breathing of the centaurs around them could not hide their restless hearts, even the arrogant race of centaurs had desires. Solim knew exactly what they were craving. What the centaurs couldn't ask for was nothing more than a gesture for Solim.

There were no more centaurs around them with bows and arrows or spears, and even the proud centaurs had to bow their heads in the face of the temptation of iron.

"So it's done?" said Solim holding out a hand to Grote.

The centaur leader looked at Solim's outstretched hand suspiciously, "What is this going to do?"

"Shake hands. Solim laughed, "Once we shake hands, it means a verbal agreement takes effect." "

Grote was still confused, but he still shook Solim's outstretched right hand. But his actions made Hermione behind Solim chuckle. Grote also uses his right hand, and the centaurs' palms are much larger than those of humans, so he can hold half of Solim's forearm in one hand.

The Centaur Leader's palm felt like 40-mesh sandpaper, and it took a lot of effort for Solim not to see what his hand was like now after Grote released his palm. The centaurs' hands were too strong, even if they didn't seem to be at all strong.

"Very well, we will wait for your news. Grote found this human ritual very interesting.

"The next time I come to the Forbidden Forest, I hope the Arima people will pick it up. Solim's right hand tucked into his sleeve and swore he would never shake hands with a centaur next time.

"This is our centaur man's forest. "As soon as you step foot in here, we'll soon know." "

The centaurs were happy, but they insisted on sending the underage wizards out of the Forbidden Forest, and after Solim promised to provide the centaurs with iron weapons, the centaurs began to fear for his safety and were reluctant to stay in the Forbidden Forest.

"I think we still have the ability to protect ourselves. Solim was also a little helpless, saying that he had to show his hand to the horses.

"Flames!" Solim raised his wand in his left hand, and a blazing flame erupted from the tip of the wand, instantly illuminating the somewhat dim Forbidden Forest, and the flames turned into a chain that whistled over the horses' heads, and finally circled around the horses' heads before disappearing into the tips of Solim's staff.

Solim's hand came so abruptly that the horses didn't react at all. It wasn't until the flames returned to Solim that they looked at the little wizard who was laying down his wand in shock.

"We are self-preservation. And with the Basque Country, the eight-eyed spider is not too much of a threat to us. Solim motioned for Grote to look at Harry, and then whispered, "For Harry, he needs to be ready, you should be able to understand what I'm talking about, the prophecy about him......"

Prophecy - This word is extremely sacred to centaurs. Grote apparently also knew what the name Harry Potter meant.

Like it said at the beginning: Solim is very good at convincing people.

Grote eventually agreed that Solim and his party would continue to operate in the Forbidden Forest, but for the sake of the horses' iron weapons, he sent five strong centaurs to work with Solim to ensure their safety.
