Chapter 132: New Occupation - Herbalist
Easy to talk to?
Do you want to listen to what you are saying, asshole?
Sander's face was filled with grief and indignation, and he didn't want to refute a single word.
Seeing Xander's expression, Sebastian smiled softly and said, "Don't believe it? Then let me show you my sincerity."
As he spoke, he waved his wand at the forbidden forest behind him, then looked at the centaur with a smile.
Under Xander's surprised gaze, huge ice crystals flew out from the forbidden forest behind Sebastian one after another.
After seeing clearly what was in the ice crystal, Sander began to tremble violently.
Those are all frozen Acromantulas???
As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe, Sander finally woke up completely.
It knew clearly how difficult these eight-eyed giant spiders were to deal with. Now they were all frozen. After counting carefully, there were more than twenty of them.
It seems that this wizard did not lie and he did come with sincerity.
Otherwise, his patrol team would be like these eight-eyed giant spiders, with not a single one left alive.
Thinking of this, Sander calmed down completely: "Professor Swan, thank you for your mercy. I wonder what you want to see the clan leader for?"
"Have you figured it out?" Sebastian waved his wand and released Xander and his three companions, leaving Bane alone in the ice.
"It's no use telling you. Let's go and see your clan leader."
"Then Bane..."
"It attacked me, so it must suffer. Don't worry, I told you I won't kill it."
After saying that, Sebastian walked towards the centaur tribe without looking back.
Sander and his companions looked at each other and arranged for three of them to stay and look after Bane.
Then, it shook its head helplessly and quickly followed Sebastian.
The centaur tribe is located deep in the forbidden forest, on a relatively flat grassland.
It is evergreen here all year round, and the meadow is covered with soft green grass, as if providing a natural carpet for the life of the horse people.
Surrounded by tall trees, it acts like a natural barrier, protecting the horse tribe from wind and rain from the outside world.
"Huh? What are those things flying in the sky?"
The centaurs are natural hunters. They have excellent eyesight and can see every tree and blade of grass around them even in the middle of the night.
With their wide vision, some centaurs soon discovered that something was flying towards the centaur tribe.
"It looks like ice, sparkling. Isn't it summer now? Where did the ice come from?"
"No, there's something in the ice, it looks like an acromantula!"
"How is it possible...Who is so powerful?"
This discovery caused an uproar among all the centaurs. They shouted loudly and wanted to go and find out what was going on.
Suddenly, a young foal ran over, shouting loudly as he ran.
"Chief! Brother Xander brought a wizard with him, and the eight-eyed giant spiders in the sky are all his spoils of war."
A wizard?
Trophies?
So many Acromantulas?
The centaurs were stunned, looking in awe at the figure with Xander.
The centaur leader also appeared. He frowned and took the initiative to greet them.
Seeing the centaur leader appear, Sander hurriedly ran up and whispered everything in the leader's ear.
After hearing Sander's words, a trace of anger flashed across the face of the centaur leader.
Dare to freeze Bane.
This is an enemy of the centaur tribe!
After thinking of the strength described by Sander, it suppressed its anger.
It looked at Sebastian and said coldly.
"Professor Swan, right? I wonder what brings you to the Centaur tribe?"
"According to the Centaur rules, adult wizards are not allowed to appear in the Centaur's Forbidden Forest."
Good guy!
No wonder all the centaurs regarded the Forbidden Forest as theirs, it turns out that the problem lies at the root.
Sebastian's smile slowly faded.
"If it weren't for Ms. Hufflepuff taking in your ancestors, there would be no place for you in this forbidden forest."
"I never thought you would shamelessly treat the Forbidden Forest as your own. It turns out that all the centaurs are a bunch of ungrateful people."
Hearing Sebastian's words, the centaurs started cursing.
"Nonsense, this is clearly the Forbidden Forest of the Centaurs!"
"How dare he insult the centaurs like this? Beat him to death!"
Seeing the centaur's appearance, Sebastian's patience was completely worn out.
His magic power began to boil again, pressing down on the surrounding centaurs in wave after wave.
"I'll just say this once, the Forbidden Forest is and always has been a part of Hogwarts."
As he spoke, Sebastian controlled the ice crystals in the sky and dropped them one by one onto the open space of the centaur tribe.
He glanced around and said domineeringly: "I've finished speaking, who's in favor and who's against?"
Sebastian was furious. If these centaurs were completely ignorant of the current situation, he would drive them out of the Forbidden Forest even if Dumbledore tried to stop him.
Alternatively, you can arrange for the eight-eyed giant spiders to slowly devour this centaur tribe.
Looking at the eight-eyed giant spider in the ice crystal and feeling Sebastian's dragon-like aura, the centaurs were so scared that they could not stand steadily and swallowed back the curse words that were about to come out of their mouths.
How to do?
It seems like I really can't afford to offend him.
The centaur chief who faced Sebastian directly had a special say on this point.
The magic power on the opposite side was like huge waves, rushing towards them wave after wave, making it hard to breathe. Sander, who was standing next to it, almost rolled his eyes.
It was a centaur who had seen the world and understood how powerful a wizard was who could do this.
This is not an enemy that the centaurs can afford to provoke.
In the silence, the centaur chieftain opened his mouth with difficulty: "Professor Swan, let's talk it over. The Forbidden Forest is indeed the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts."
"Put away your energy for now. The kids are having trouble breathing."
"What do you need from the Centaur tribe?"
"It's simple. From today on, the Centaur tribe needs to pay rent to Hogwarts." Sebastian's voice was unusually firm.
After feeling Sebastian's determination, the centaur leader felt a little bitter.
It was very clear that if it did not agree to the wizard, the future of the centaurs would be bleak.
For the sake of the tribe, it had to bow its head: "But... there are no gold galleons in the tribe."
very good!
Now that you have bowed your head, there is something to talk about.
The centaurs were notoriously poor, and unlike the eight-eyed spiders, they did not possess any valuable materials on their bodies.
However, the centaurs are very intelligent and have nimble hands.
Therefore, Sebastian has special arrangements for them.
He withdrew the magic power that was pressing on the centaurs and spoke with a smile.
"Centaurs are close to nature. You just need to collect herbs in the Forbidden Forest regularly and hand them over to Hogwarts."
"Of course, you can also reclaim some wasteland and plant some herbs."
"Every month, Hogwarts staff will come to collect the herbs you have."
"After you hand in a certain amount of herbs, we can exchange the remaining herbs for gold galleons."
"Or, you can exchange the extra herbs for grains and fruits. This way, even when winter comes, the foals won't starve."
After hearing Sebastian's suggestion, the centaur chief felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, finding herbs is a very simple thing for the centaurs, and growing herbs is not too difficult for them.
Besides, being able to eat fruit in winter sounds a bit tempting.
but......
This forced the horse tribe to transform from a nomadic people to an agricultural people!
There is no other way. For the sake of the tribe, let’s just do this.
Thinking of this, the centaur chief calmed down and started discussing one issue after another with Sebastian.
Sebastian didn't leave the centaur tribe until the sun was about to set.
Looking at the jubilant Sebastian, Dumbledore showed up.
"Well done, Sebastian. I was worried there might be a fight."
"By the way, I contacted an old friend and he would be happy to come over and train your staff on how to deal with magical creatures."
old friend?
Sebastian's eyes lit up.
Could it be that......
This old friend is Uncle Newt?
......
