Chapter 119 The end of the semester and the invitation of the centaurs

After walking around the fortress, Ryan returned to the school dormitory contentedly. After cleaning up the blood on his clothes and hands, he was lying on the bed depressed.

Because the reception of guests this time not only did not gain anything but also lost a lot of money. Ryan decided to wait until she woke up and then ask which world she was from, maybe he could get some gains. Ryan thought about this to comfort himself, and then fell into a deep sleep. Before falling asleep, I heard my roommates excitedly discussing today's game.

The excitement of winning the Quidditch title passed quickly as the final exams were coming up. Without the basilisk messing around, this was definitely not escapable, and the students fell into an atmosphere of tension and anxiety.

There have also been some small changes in the school during this time. Lucius Malfoy came to school one day with a house-elf and entered the principal's office. After that, he came out of the principal's office alone with a pale face.

From that day on, Draco never walked around the school pompously, as if he were the master here. On the contrary, he now has a gloomy face all day, and seems to be full of resentment in his heart.

It is said in the school that because Lucius did something wrong, he was forced to release his house-elves under pressure from the headmaster, and also lost his voting rights for the school board.

It seemed that Dumbledore had investigated a lot from that notebook, forcing the Malfoys to make concessions.

In addition to that, what happened to Lockhart, Rita Skeeter, the greatest paparazzi in the wizarding world, wrote and published an article, The Rise of the Liar.

She questions Lockhart's adventures by finding various inconsistencies in Lockhart's books and his lame performance at Hogwarts. And Lockhart's weak defense was found more loopholes.

Finally, three days before the exam, a team of Aurors came to the school and arrested Lockhart. Because he once stole the experience of an old wizard by unleashing a spell in America, after Rita Skeeter's report circulated, several wizards came forward to testify that the werewolf problem was not solved by Lockhart. The Magical Congress of the United States therefore sent a letter of inquiry to the Ministry of Magic.

A week later, Wizengamore sentenced Lockhart to three years in prison and paid a large sum of money to the victims. Ryan and his classmates also celebrated a little. At this time, the school ended the final exam. While enjoying this rare leisure time, he and a group of classmates had plenty of time to celebrate Lockhart's rollover. The only unhappy part of the celebration was that The Weasley brothers, because they found that the expensive novels they had paid for were now worthless scraps of paper.

Due to Lockhart's arrest, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was posed by Snape, and the difficult content of the questions made the students who had been herding sheep for a whole year wailed. Fortunately, the practice content is Professor Flitwick's questions, and he came up with an examination plan that is close to the actual combat, giving many people the opportunity to restore their test scores.

The examination room is in a classroom with many obstacles arranged in the room. The content of the exam requires candidates to use magic to shoot down weapons in the hands of mobile dummies that pop up when they cross obstacles. Lane got the first place in this exam. I have to say that the actual combat experience has helped him a lot.

A few nights before the results came out, when Ryan was studying magic in the Emerald Dream, he received an invitation from the centaur Betty. Betty invited him to this year's tribal foal's coming-of-age ceremony.

The foal is an adult? Lane recalled the memories of the Viking wizards and found that this was one of the most important ceremonies for the centaurs, allowing the forces of nature to bless the centaurs who had grown up in those years. Only foreigners recognized by nature could be invited to watch the ceremony. In my memory, the tribe of the Viking wizard when he was young had good relations with several nearby centaur tribes, but only one old shaman received an invitation.

This kind of rare thing must be seen. The next night, Ryan came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest as agreed, and saw Wolf, the wise giant wolf, who came to pick him up.

Betty asked me to say sorry to you because they were too busy today. So let me pick you up. After seeing Ryan, Wolfe explained to Ryan.

It's okay, we shouldn't bother them at this time. Let's go over by ourselves. After finishing speaking, Ryan followed the path to prepare for action. But it was stopped by Wolff:

My friend, I think you should let me carry it on my back. Because before I set off, the druids in the tribe predicted the auspicious time a little earlier than usual. If you walk past, you are likely to miss the ceremony. After that, Wolfe slightly bent his knees and motioned for Ryan to go up.

Ryan, who had poor riding skills, slumped on his stomach, and then grabbed the hair near his neck with both hands at Wolff's reminder to fix himself. Wolf smelled clean, and there was no odor in the fur.

After confirming that Ryan was lying down, Wolff slowly accelerated until he started running in the jungle. Ryan saw the trees on both sides quickly retreat backwards, and there was a whistling wind in his ears.

After running for about 20 minutes, Wolf stopped by a river. Ryan immediately rolled off his back and lay on the ground retching. Because the difference between a wolf and a horse is very big, especially when running, the wolf's back movement is much larger than that of the horse, which made Ryan feel extremely uncomfortable after being tipped for 20 minutes. He would rather come over than stay on the wolf's back.

Hey, are you alright? The book says there are humans and wolf cavalry, why can't you take it for a while? I wanted to chat with you, but you didn't say a word along the way. Wolf was a little surprised said.

Ryan raised his head weakly and said, My friend, I can't open my mouth just now, or I'll spit on you. And to be honest, I think you should distinguish between literary creation and reality. The difference. Why don't you say there are dragon riders flying all over the book, but I don't think either of us has ever seen a living dragon, have we?

Yeah. Wolfe seemed to have a sense of sudden realization, but the look with wide eyes and ears pricked up was more like a husky.

At this time, Ryan slowed down and looked around. The lights across the river showed the centaur village.

Centaur and human villages are vastly different, the biggest feature of which is that each Centaur village, no matter how big, is always in perfect harmony with the irreconcilable forces of nature that surround them. As remembered by the ancient Viking shaman who visited a centaur village, among all races perhaps centaurs are closely related to their surroundings, subconsciously having a sense of the necessary balance between themselves and the natural world consciousness.

The Centaurs will never let any member starve, freeze, or starve, but they will not take too much like nature. They will regularly switch various sources of living materials from nature to ensure the re-development of wildlife populations. For example, they use crop rotation in order to maintain a fragile natural balance.

Under the light of the lights, Lane saw the villages of the Forbidden Forest horses built on quiet riverside clearings, shacks or huts built from the rich raw materials in the forest. It doesn't look gorgeous, but it has a unique warm feeling.

The river is somewhat fast, but not wide. Ryan swung across the river with a hook rope, and then came to the entrance of the village with Wolff. There was already a centaur waiting for them there.
