#130 - Chapter 130 I declare that you are the Eight-eyed Spider King

"Go back obediently?"

"Bah!"

"We'll see who runs and dies..."

"I'd be a fool to believe your words."

One of the eight-eyed giant spiders, running at the very front, thought indignantly, its spider legs moving quickly, raising dust along the way.

Having run this far, I don't believe your curse can still hit us.

Besides, brothers and sisters are running in all directions; it's uncertain which one you'll hit.

Suddenly, a white line appeared on the ground in front of it.

Where did this white line come from?

Never seen it before!

Regardless, run first.

The eight-eyed spider felt something was wrong the moment it crossed the white line.

Strange...

My body is so stiff; how can I not move a single leg?

Also, why is my vision so blurry, like looking through a layer of ice?

Ice...

The light faded from its eyes, and its thoughts plunged into darkness.

The slower spiders discovered in horror that those brothers who were rushing ahead had layers of thick white frost forming on them the instant they crossed the white line.

In the blink of an eye, they were all frozen in ice layers, shimmering with a cold light. Through the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, one could clearly see the panic in these spiders' expressions.

In an instant, all the surviving eight-eyed spiders became obedient. They turned around and obediently returned to Sebastian's side.

"Who exactly are you?" Aragog roared angrily, "How dare you treat my children like this? Hagrid will not let you go."

"Noisy!" Sebastian waved his wand, and Aragog was surprised to find that he could not make any sound.

"For Hagrid's sake, I won't kill you. When I leave, I'll take you to Hagrid. From now on, you can retire there."

Looking at the giant spiders around him, Sebastian nodded in satisfaction.

"Are there any who are willing to serve me?"

The eight-eyed giant spiders looked at each other, and for a moment, none dared to step forward and speak.

Seeing Sebastian's impatient expression, a spider trembled and walked out: "Wizard, what are your orders?"

Oh!

Isn't this the eight-eyed giant spider that was weaving a web behind me just now, blocking my retreat?

Its brain is indeed more flexible than other spiders.

"Very good!"

"A wise man submits to circumstances!"

"What is your name, Mr. Wise Man?" Sebastian said amiably.

At the same time, he waved his wand, releasing an emotional magic, so that the other party could feel his goodwill.

"I don't have a name. Only Aragog has a name here," the spider's voice trembled slightly.

Although it now felt Sebastian's goodwill, it really couldn't muster any courage, looking at those frozen brothers.

"From today onwards, your name shall be Junjie!" Sebastian waved his hand, immediately deciding on the spider's name.

Then, he asked with a smile: "Mr. Junjie, would you like to replace Aragog and become the King of the Eight-Eyed Spiders?"

Become the King of the Eight-Eyed Spiders?

Me?

Could such a good thing fall on me?!

The Junjie spider felt a little dizzy; it was so shocked by Sebastian's words that it couldn't speak.

It looked at Sebastian cautiously, extending a spider leg and pointing at itself: "Me?"

"That's right! I see that you have a full forehead and a square jaw, a face of an emperor," Sebastian transformed into a swindler, using various professional terms one after another, making the spider completely lose its bearings.

"Believe me, from my professional point of view, you are the next generation of Eight-Eyed Giant Spider King."

The more Junjie spider listened, the more excited it became, its two giant pincers constantly colliding, making a clicking sound.

This wizard has good eyes!

He could tell at a glance from so many spiders that he was the next generation of Eight-Eyed Giant Spider King.

"However..." Sebastian changed his tone, "If you want to become the Giant Spider King, you still need to gain my approval and support."

Approval?

Support?

The Junjie spider frantically thought about the meaning of the words.

Suddenly, its eyes narrowed, and it saw Aragog.

That's right, it seems that Aragog became the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider King only after receiving Hagrid's support.

In this case, there's nothing wrong with me relying on a powerful wizard.

After figuring this out, the Junjie spider's eyes lit up, and it looked at Sebastian flatteringly.

"Master, feel free to order Junjie to do any work; I guarantee to complete it beautifully."

Sebastian grinned.

So clever!

No wonder some wizards raise eight-eyed giant spiders to act as guardians of their treasures.

He said with a smile: "Don't call me Master, call me Boss!"

"From today onwards, you are my spider employee in the Forbidden Forest."

"As for work, let's not talk about it yet. Let's first solve the obstacles on your path to becoming king."

"First, see if there are any spiders who will not obey your rule, and also pick out those spiders who have eaten people."

Hearing this, the Junjie spider was so moved that it was grateful.

The boss is so considerate!

He even knows to help solve the problem of governance.

From the boss's words, it can be heard that eating human flesh is the boss's taboo.

It seems that I have to restrain my subordinates well in the future.

It looked around and found that most of the spiders that had eaten people had been frozen in the first wave of attacks. Among the remaining spiders, only two had eaten human flesh.

However, there were also two spiders who had bullied it and might not obey its control.

Thinking of this, it looked at Sebastian and pointed out the four giant spiders from the spider group.

In an instant, four more ice lumps appeared on the scene again, making the remaining eight-eyed giant spiders panic.

"Very good, all spiders pay attention, from now on, the Junjie spider is the King of the Eight-Eyed Spiders. Anyone who has an opinion can stand up now."

Seeing that no spider moved, Sebastian stared at the Junjie spider with piercing eyes, his voice revealing coldness and majesty.

"Come, use spider silk to control a glass bottle, and then inject your venom into it."

He waved his hand, and several boxes of glass bottles appeared on the ground, each bottle having a capacity of one pint.

Hearing this, the Junjie spider obediently stepped forward, using spider silk to control the glass bottle, its two venomous pincers aimed at the mouth of the bottle, draining the venom into it.

After a long time, the Junjie spider retreated to the side, looking at Sebastian flatteringly: "It's gone, not a drop left."

Looking at the venom in the bottle, Sebastian nodded in satisfaction.

Very good!

As expected of a young spider, the amount is large. It can fill one-third of the glass bottle at a time, and two more times will make it a full pint.

Aragog is indeed too old, so old that he can't even produce much venom.

In the original book, Professor Horace collected venom after his death, which could only fill two thumb-sized glass bottles.

However, although young spiders have a large amount, they can't be allowed to drain their venom forcefully. A certain amount of venom must be left for them to hunt.

Among the remaining hundred or so spiders, there are not many that are as big as the Junjie spider, and most of them are smaller than it.

As for those giant spiders, they have basically turned into ice sculptures.

Thinking of this, Sebastian smiled and looked at the Junjie spider.

"Very good, Eight-Eyed Giant Spider King, here are fifty glass bottles."

"Your job is to arrange for your people to fill them all within a month. After filling them, seal the bottle mouth with spider silk to prevent the venom from flowing out."

"Every month, I will arrange for someone to come here with a token to collect the venom."

"In addition, to reward you, my staff will bring you a ton of fresh meat every time we meet."

"Aragog is here now, don't touch him. I'll come and take him away when I leave."

......

These spiders are terrorists in the Forbidden Forest. To prevent them from causing trouble, Sebastian gave many instructions.

For example, how to scientifically arrange the detoxification cycle, and how much the amount should be controlled each time.

For example, how to deal with neighborhood relations, and so on.

Seeing that it was four o'clock in the afternoon, he left the territory of the eight-eyed spiders.

Sebastian released his Patronus and sent a message to Dumbledore.

"Headmaster, everything is done. Waiting for you to go to the centaur tribe together."

Two minutes later, with a phoenix cry, Dumbledore came to Sebastian's side with the help of Fawkes.

He smiled slightly, concealed his figure, and then followed Sebastian forward.

Under Sebastian's magical perception, they walked straight to the centaur tribe without taking any detours.

Just as they were on their way, an arrow suddenly flew out of the dense bushes and stuck straight into an ancient tree next to Sebastian.

Immediately afterward, a rough voice rang out in the forest.

"Wizard, this is the centaurs' Forbidden Forest!"

"Leave here quickly!"

......
