Chapter 98 Centaur
It was dark and silent in the Forbidden Forest, and the moonlight poured down from the branches above like shattered crystals, and sprinkled silvery white debris on the fallen leaves.
Not long after leaving, Kyle suddenly found that the surrounding environment was somewhat familiar.
Not far away, a group of moon idiots were staring at them curiously through the bushes with wide eyes.
At this time, Hagrid suddenly said, "In addition to the unicorn cubs, there are also a lot fewer moon idiots here."
Kyle panicked, but on the surface he asked calmly: "Are we going to look for them today?"
"No, you don't need it." Hagrid shook his head and said, "Because the other moon-crazed beasts here are not unusual, I think they may have gone to the woodland to the south, where there is a larger group of moon-crazed beasts. "
"That's it... that's good."
Kyle breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Hagrid to continue walking deep into the Forbidden Forest.
But before he left, he also took out a large handful of white fresh leaves and threw them nearby, as a snack for the moon idiots.
Hagrid also saw Kyle's actions, but now his mind was full of the stolen unicorn cub, so he didn't pay much attention to it, as long as these unicorns were grown by Kyle himself.
The further they walked, the more anxious Hagrid's expression became.
Kyle looked at him and thought for a while, "Could it be that other animals stole the unicorn cubs."
"Impossible." Hagrid said: "Unicorns are very concerned about their cubs, and this kind of animal has strong magic. If you don't use tricks, even a fire dragon can't easily approach and take them away." Cub."
They walked through a woodland overgrown with moss and mushrooms, and came to a winding stream.
"Aw..." Yaya howled suddenly.
In the silence of the Forbidden Forest, this sharp barking sounded particularly ear-piercing.
"Yaya, did you find something?"
Hagrid ran over in a hurry, and at the same time drew an arrow and loaded it on the crossbow, ready to shoot at any time.
Sitting there, Yaya patted a branch next to him with his front paws, a black rag the size of a palm was hanging on it.
"Good job teeth, good job!"
Hagrid took the rag, rubbed it lightly in his hands twice, and put it under his nose to smell it again.
"It feels rough to the touch...and has this special smell." Hagrid murmured, "I know, there must be outsiders who have been to the Forbidden Forest."
"Isn't this just an ordinary rag?" Kyle asked.
"No." Hagrid said with certainty: "The material of this cloth is a special kind of rattan, which is rough in texture, and the clothes made of it are very uncomfortable, and the only advantage is that it is tough and wear-resistant.
Therefore, only those Aurors who need to perform missions outside for a long time, and those who raise dragons will wear it. "
This rag was the first clue they had found.
Hagrid wanted Fang to find the man by smell, but Fang just walked around and returned to the same place.
Hagrid looked disappointed.
The two continued to walk along the creek, and carefully searched for something nearby.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past.
"Who's there!" Hagrid raised his crossbow to block Kyle, and shouted, "Come out, I see you."
"Hey..."
With the sound of hoofbeats, a half-man, half-horse creature walked into the clearing.
Above the waist is a human with red hair and beard, but below the waist is a brown-red horse with a long red tail behind it.
"Oh, so it's you, Ronan." Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How are you?"
He stepped forward and shook hands with the centaur.
"Good evening, Hagrid." Ronan's voice was low and sad. "You want to shoot me with an arrow?"
"Just in case, Ronan." Hagrid patted his quiver, "There is also a little wizard here this time, and I have to keep him safe.
Oh, by the way, this is Kyle Chopper, a student of Hogwarts. "
Then he said to Kyle: "This is Ronan, a centaur."
After seeing that it was a male centaur, Kyle lost most of his interest in an instant, but out of politeness, he still nodded and said, "Hello."
Ronan took a careful look at Kyle, then put his arms on his shoulders, slightly bent his front legs and said, "Good evening, nice to meet you."
Kyle was a little puzzled. He always felt that something was wrong with this centaur, and the other party was acting a little too formal.
The centaurs are proud, and under normal circumstances, when they face strangers, they just nod at most, instead of bending their knees and legs like just now.
That is the treatment that only Dumbledore has.
"Ronan, it's a pleasure to meet you here." Hagrid put away the giant crossbow and said, "Someone has stolen a baby unicorn. Did you see anything?"
Ronan didn't answer right away, he looked at the sky without blinking.
"Don't worry," he said, "Mars is normal tonight."
"Yeah, it's the same as other times." Hagrid raised his head perfunctorily, and continued: "But did you see anything, Ronan, saw anything unusual, or a stranger or something?"
"You're a bit strange." Ronan said inexplicably.
"I'm fine!" Hagrid got a little impatient, "I mean, did you see anything unusual?"
"Come with me." Ronan glanced at them, turned and walked into a low bush.
Hagrid and Kyle hurried to follow.
They walked through the bushes and stopped in front of a big and thick tree. At this point, Ronan was gone.
"It's really strange that he will guide us." Hagrid looked around and whispered, "These centaurs know a lot of things, but they always keep their mouths shut. I always thought they didn't care about anything except the things around the moon Nothing is interesting."
At this time, Yaya suddenly jumped out, lying under the tree and screaming "Aoao".
"Did you find out so soon?"
Hagrid and Kyle hurriedly followed.
Where Fangya was, there was a piece of vacancy in the tree trunk, which looked like a piece of bread that had been bitten by someone, and there were very obvious signs of corrosion on the edge.
Hagrid leaned over, stroked his chin and said, "This must be some kind of evil black magic."
Kyle couldn't see the gap because of his height, so he turned around.
This tree is really big, with a diameter of about five meters. Even in the Forbidden Forest, big trees of this size are very rare.
Compared with it, the surrounding plants seem to be undernourished, growing small and short. Kyle doesn't need to walk over it at all, just glance at it and see it.
It was dark and silent in the Forbidden Forest, and the moonlight poured down from the branches above like shattered crystals, and sprinkled silvery white debris on the fallen leaves.
