Chapter 126 Forbidden Forest
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
Everyone always has this kind of fantasy about dragons.
Dragons, whether in the world of normal humans or in the world of wizards, are symbols of power.Although in human interpretation, they are often very evil, and they are too keen on robbing the princess.The key is that even after being taken away for a few days or even months, the princess can still be intact and wait for the brave to rescue her.
In the world of wizards, dragons are less mysterious.However, due to their powerful power and relatively rare number, the wizards did not have a deep understanding of them.
"This is a dragon egg, what kind of dragon will it hatch?"
Hermione asked curiously.The fingers are moving slightly, obviously a little desire to use hands and feet.Naturally, this little move of hers did not escape Hagrid's eyes.He stared at this little girl who was a little too curious, not daring to let his guard down.
"I thought you weren't interested in Fantastic Beasts."
Taylor looked at the enthusiastic Hermione, and said with some doubts.
Hermione glanced at Luke, then said, "It's really hard not to be interested if someone is whispering these things in your ear."
Tyler choked, but nodded quickly.After all, reflecting on herself, she was initially interested in magical animals because many magical animals are necessary ingredients for potions.But since the beginning of school, her interest in magical animals has indeed increased, and she is about to be promoted from material to magical animals themselves.
Obviously it is also inseparable from Luke's influence.
Hagrid glanced at Luke with a certain degree of expectation in his eyes.But Luke could only shake his head.He is very talented and interested in this area, but relatively he does not have so much time.From the shape and pattern of a dragon egg to analyze the type of dragon that will be hatched in the egg.This is obviously beyond Luke's ability.
Seeing Hagrid's surprised eyes, Luke shook his head and said, "I'm not a superman, and I really don't know enough about fire dragons."
"You know, I'm closer to snakes."
Hagrid really showed envy: "Being able to communicate with most snakes! This is really an enviable talent!"
After he finished speaking, he patted the book "Breeding Fire Dragons for Recreation and Profit" on his lap and said, "I've read it. The content of this book is complete, although it's a bit outdated."
As he said, he opened the book, turned to that page, handed the book to Hermione and said, "This page says, how to distinguish different eggs. From the above description, I got It's a Norwegian Ridgeback. It's a very rare species. There are all kinds of precautions ahead of hatching eggs and after hatching, you see, put the eggs in the fire, because their mother will breathe on them. And After hatching, he was fed a bucket of chicken blood brandy every half hour."
Hagrid spoke happily, apparently after serious study for a long time.And happy and proud of it.
"But what are you going to do with it when it hatches?"
Hermione read the book carefully, then pushed the book away, looked into Hagrid's eyes and asked, "Let's not talk about whether it is a violation of the rules, Hagrid, your house is a wooden house, and according to the description in the book, when you were a child They also breathe fire."
"And they grow very fast, your hut won't be able to accommodate it so quickly, but this doesn't mean it will be as easy to hide by you as it was when it was just hatched."
What Hermione said were some very important points. After all, raising a dragon is not just about raising a dragon.
"And how do you deal with its food accounts, how do you restrain it in case it gets out of control, and in the worst case, how to separate yourself from it if it is found out."
Taylor shook his head and said to Hagrid, "Hagrid, I think you really need to think about these things."
Both Taylor and Hermione were sincere when they said this, and they considered many aspects.But Hagrid still looked nonchalant.
"Be serious, Hagrid, we're talking business to you!"
Hermione looked at Hagrid and said with a little dissatisfaction.Taylor, on the other hand, shut his mouth in the presence of the old god, and didn't mean to speak.
Luke, she is willing to persuade a few words, Hagrid really does not need this.
Luke didn't say anything either, these were all false, Hagrid's dragon must not be able to keep.Such a dangerous creature, if placed in the Forbidden Forest, will also turn the existing Forbidden Forest upside down, and then everyone will be unable to get through.
If the creatures in the Forbidden Forest really ran out of control, even Dumbledore would have to be careful to keep everyone alive.But now Dumbledore is really an old man.He is not as energetic as he was when he was young, and it is best not to count on him at critical moments.
And at this moment, Luke heard the wind blowing in from the open window, and heard the murmur mixed with it.
"Hagrid, it's time for you to patrol the forest."
Luke opened his mouth to prompt.
Hagrid slapped himself on the forehead suddenly, got up quickly, and said, "That's right, that's right, that's right, I almost forgot. Really, I was a little overjoyed. Luke, don't forget the time to go back to the dormitory. I know you are capable, but neither Taylor nor Hermione should be able to."
"Relax, I know what's in my heart."
Luke smiled and said to Hagrid, but when he said this, Hermione and Taylor around him curled their lips calmly.Obviously, no one believed Luke's words.
But Hagrid nodded trustingly and said: "Okay, then I'll go first, the Forbidden Forest has become more and more unsettled these days. It seems that something happened to the unicorns, I have to take a good look at them these days Just do it."
With that said, Hagrid wrapped his coat, then led Fang, opened the door and walked towards the dark Forbidden Forest in the distance.
Luke stared at the closed door for a while, then turned to Hermione and Taylor and said, "You two go back and rest first, I'll go to the Forbidden Forest to have a look."
"It's very dangerous." Hermione frowned and looked at Luke, anticipating Luke's actions, "Obviously. The current situation in the Forbidden Forest must be very different from what you experienced before."
Luke was not surprised. They had been repairing it for nearly half a month during the Christmas holidays. During this half month, Quirrell couldn't come up with anything, so he underestimated Voldemort behind him.
"Don't worry, I'm sure, they can't do anything to me."
Luke clenched the Slytherin wand tightly in his hand, without any fear in his heart.
Voldemort's current state is really not necessarily his opponent with full firepower. This has been reflected in the last collision between the two people.Even if Voldemort has recovered more strength now, it does not necessarily change the ending.
After all, Luke isn't just standing still.
Hermione fell silent after hearing this.Unlike Hagrid, she spent a relatively long time with Luke.Naturally, he also knew that Luke couldn't be persuaded at this time.
Taylor was silent on the side, just looked at Luke with a little worry.
And Luke didn't mean to speak any more.Straightforwardly, he pushed open the door and walked out.Only instead of following the path, he walked in another direction through the grass and woods.
Both Hermione and Tyler walked to the door and watched Luke leave.
He walked into the dark forest, and soon disappeared from everyone's business.It's like being one with it.Unpredictable, unpredictable, and dangerous.
At some point, the moon pulled a cloud to cover its face.It makes the originally bright field of vision very dark.The dry and cold wind in winter cuts his face like a knife.There seemed to be some strange language mixed in the roar of the wind.Like weeping like complaining, like singing like whispering.
Hermione and Tyler didn't speak for a long time.In the end, it was Taylor who spoke first: "Let's go back first."
"Yes." Hermione replied simply.
The two didn't communicate too much, but both of them had some understanding in their hearts.
There may be many twists and turns in the future life, but now it seems that they have no better choice.Hermione was still watching, but she was getting deeper and deeper unconsciously.
Taylor was ready from the start to fall into the abyss.
Luke shivered suddenly, then stopped unconsciously, and looked around vigilantly.
Gan Wencui standing beside him straightened up and looked around, then shook his head and said, "Your Highness, there is no sign of anyone else for the time being."
Luke's lock didn't stretch a little.
"Maybe I'm a little paranoid."
"You are alert, Your Highness."
The head in the middle quickly answered.These words made Luke very satisfied. No wonder everyone likes to bring a few younger brothers of this type with them.
However, Luke didn't get carried away, and turned serious and said: "Go on, you have already prepared an ambush over there, right?"
"The ambush has already been laid, but I didn't dare to go deep into His Highness." Gan Wencui was a little embarrassed, "Although the opponent's strength does not seem to be that strong, I don't know why it always gives us a dangerous feeling."
"That's for sure." Luke said as he walked, "The other party is also a very powerful guy. Although the current state is not good, it is not a problem to suppress those weaker magical animals."
In fact, as long as Gan Wencui ambushed himself, he would be immune to this inexplicable sense of danger.But this is not a wise choice.Voldemort also knows Parseltongue. Although he may not be able to control the Rune Snake now, this does not mean that he will not suppress it.
"Sorry, it's all because of our weakness."
Gan Wencui did not take this as a relief, but as a lesson that was not harsh.But that's good news for Luke.
"Then make yourself stronger."
I don't know whether he is persuading others, or persuading himself.
Excessive abilities often have considerable side effects, just like the Slytherin wand. While strengthening Luke, it also allowed a lot of external magic power to pour into Luke's body.And the magic in this world often has a certain spiritual bias.Accepting this kind of ability, even if it can withstand the impact of consciousness, it is impossible to completely rule out the influence of this kind of external consciousness on itself.
If it weren't for the system, Luke might not have dared to use snake transformation.
Who knows that after using it a few times, I will still be myself.
The system can protect Luke's mind, which is why Luke dared to use this trick boldly.
Walking in the Forbidden Forest, at some point, the only sounds in my ears were my own footsteps and Gan Wencui's crawling sound beside me.This means that they have reached the ambush position, which is the area where the opponent often moves.
"Hasn't Hagrid ever patrolled here?"
Luke's deep and hoarse voice rang out in the Forbidden Forest, and the snake-face mask was already on his face.
Gan Wencui's three heads looked at each other, and reflected for a while before he remembered: "That half-giant, he has inspected this place, and he is quite responsible. But if the magical creatures here really want to hide, even if they are Even a real giant can't find us. Not to mention a half-giant."
"Moreover, his inspection routes are more concentrated in the place where the other half-giant is. Here it is an inspection, but it is actually just a cursory glance."
"The Forbidden Forest is too big, Your Highness. It shouldn't be the job of one person to conduct a thorough search."
Luke was silent when he heard the words, so what can be done? After all, there are only a few teachers in the school, and their daily teaching work can embarrass them to death. After all, this is seven years of teaching together. The sixth and seventh grades are taught in a small class mode, but the depth of teaching has also gone up to more than one level.
This in itself is a heavy task.During those nights when he was going to help Hagrid patrol the forest together, when Professor McGonagall turned into a cat in the transfiguration class the next day, his hair seemed to lose its luster.
"I can't help it. Let's talk about why there is a place like the Forbidden Forest in the school." Luke asked puzzledly. He had been wondering about this question for a long time. Nothing was found.
only got one sentence...
"The Forbidden Forest has existed since ancient times."
Well, since ancient times... Luke has nothing to say.
Gan Wencui was also stunned by Luke's question.
"Sorry Your Highness, I don't know the answer to this question either. If you can find Lord Slytherin's legacy, maybe you will get the answer."
Luke glanced at it with some deep meaning.But Gan Wencui lowered his head, and didn't have the slightest intention to raise his head to see Luke.
Suddenly, Doris ran out of Luke's pocket and looked at Gan Wencui with puzzled eyes.
The moment Doris appeared, Gan Wencui threw his body down completely on the ground, and even began to tremble a little.The head that was already lowered, now is even more eager to insert it into those withered leaves.
So Luke's eyes became even more strange.
Dragons, whether in the world of normal humans or in the world of wizards, are symbols of power.Although in human interpretation, they are often very evil, and they are too keen on robbing the princess.The key is that even after being taken away for a few days or even months, the princess can still be intact and wait for the brave to rescue her.

"I thought you weren't interested in Fantastic Beasts."
Taylor looked at the enthusiastic Hermione, and said with some doubts.

Tyler choked, but nodded quickly.After all, reflecting on herself, she was initially interested in magical animals because many magical animals are necessary ingredients for potions.But since the beginning of school, her interest in magical animals has indeed increased, and she is about to be promoted from material to magical animals themselves.
