Chapter 95 Investigation

The things that Cowan confided were so unbelievable that he was a mood-breaker.

In the end, Dumbledore could only casually expose Cowen's situation, which was regarded as a complete closure of the case.

Let Hagrid go back to rest first, and then Dumbledore asked Professor McGonagall to bring the twins back to the Gryffindor lounge.

In the end, only Kewen was left in the office.

Dumbledore began to meditate after sending everyone away, pacing the office with his head down.

Cowan could only watch this quietly, apparently Dumbledore must have left him alone because there was something else going on.

Not long after, Dumbledore finally stopped, looked at Kewen, pondered for a moment, and said, "Come with me again, old man."

Kewen didn't ask anything, just nodded silently in response.

Afterwards, the two left the principal's room, then the castle, and re-entered the Forbidden Forest under Kewen's surprise.

As he walked towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore broke the silence: "Are you feeling very puzzled?"

"Well." Cohen walked beside Dumbledore and admitted it aloud.

"Although it's a bit bad to say that..." Dumbledore said casually: "But I already have some ideas about the eight-eyed giant spider group."

"Can you talk to me about it, Mr. Principal?" Kewen snorted at the right time with discernment.

"Of course." Dumbledore said cheerfully, as if he could finally share a long-held secret with others.

Continuing on, Dumbledore said: "The Forbidden Forest belongs to the Academy, so some ethnic groups living in the Forbidden Forest will occasionally contact me as the principal, or ask for help, or reflect something to me. ."

Kewen didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

Dumbledore's 'sharing' continued: "In recent years, various groups in the Forbidden Forest have reported the same thing to me, that is, the group of eight-eyed giant spiders is developing too fast.

If this continues, it will oppress the living space of other ethnic groups in the forbidden forest.

This will be detrimental to the ecological balance of the forbidden forest. "

Kewen came in at the right time: "So, did the principal punish us less severely this time?"

"There are some reasons for this, too." Dumbledore thought for a while and nodded in recognition.

Afterwards, Dumbledore seemed to sigh with emotion, and continued to say, "Kewen, you must know that spiders are cruel creatures, and the eight-eyed giant spider has the instinct to attack humans. "

"Then they are the Academy of Fear?" Kewen had a clear mind, but he interrupted and asked, pretending not to know: "So the eight-eyed giant spider in the forbidden forest never ran out to attack the students?"

"No." Dumbledore shook his head and said softly, "This is all due to Hagrid. He made an agreement with the patriarch of the eight-eyed giant spider, and agreed that 'Aragog' strictly ordered its descendants not to Go out of the forbidden forest and attack humans."

"Of course." Dumbledore said here, and added helplessly: "And the reason why the eight-eyed giant spider group can appear in the Forbidden Forest is because of Hagrid."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Headmaster!" Cowan suddenly stopped Dumbledore.

"What's wrong?" Dumbledore stopped and looked down at Cowan.

Cowen raised his finger and pointed forward: "I remember a large group of 'Billywigs' ahead, so we better avoid them."

Dumbledore glanced in the direction Kewen pointed, and then showed a sudden look, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, thank you for your reminder, then let's go this way."

Going in a different direction, Dumbledore continued: "Where did you say it before? Oh, I remembered."

Dumbledore's "book continued": "You know, as the headmaster, there are so many things that require my attention every day, so I have never had the opportunity to see the situation of the eight-eyed giant spider group in person.

Your mistake this time just reminded me of this, so let's take this opportunity to observe the location of their tribe. "

"Okay, Mr. Headmaster." Kewen still didn't understand why Dumbledore wanted to bring him with him. Wouldn't it be more convenient to come alone?

However, Kewen didn't talk too much to get to the bottom of it. After responding, he remained silent and followed Dumbledore all the way to the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

The two walked for more than half an hour, and when they saw the first eight-eyed giant spider, Dumbledore cast an 'Illusory Charm' on them, making him and Kewen invisible.

Therefore, he avoided the dense place of the eight-eyed giant spider all the way, and finally came to the lair of the eight-eyed giant spider.

Didn't show up, Dumbledore took Cowen to hide next to a big tree on the edge of the nest, and carefully observed the entire nest.

Without estimating the number of eight-eyed giant spiders that go out for food, the number of spiders that can be seen near the nest is about three hundred.

This made Dumbledore frown, appearing a little worried.

After observing for a while, Dumbledore raised his hand and waved it in front of the two of them, then said, "You can speak, now they can't hear us."

"Sir, there are too many of them!" Kewen said in a solemn tone, "As far as I know, ordinary spiders lay thousands of eggs at a time, and even if the survival rate is not high, there are hundreds of them. Spiderlings survive!

And the book also says that the 'eight-eyed giant spider' has a very long lifespan, so... I am afraid that their ethnic development should really be restricted! "

Dumbledore nodded solemnly, stared at the lair in silence for a moment, then lowered his head and said to Cowan, "Okay, let's go back."

"Good professor." Kewen responded.

However, what Dumbledore did next made Cowen stunned.

I saw Dumbledore took out his wand, and while waving it, he actually said 'Curse to stop immediately'.

The next moment, the 'phantom body spell' and the 'silence spell' on the two suddenly dissipated, exposing their figures to the eyes of all the eight-eyed giant spiders.

"Sir?" Cowan drew his wand immediately.

Dumbledore didn't respond immediately. Instead, he flicked his wand and fired a magical beam of light out, hitting an eight-eyed giant spider.

The eight-eyed giant spider didn't even scream, its huge body shrank suddenly, and then fell to the ground weakly.

Dumbledore then waved his wand, and under the silent 'Transformation Summoning Charm', he replaced the spider's body somewhere.

Until then, Dumbledore lowered his head and asked in a test-like manner: "Faced with this situation, what do you think is the most appropriate way to do it?"

Cowan was very puzzled by Dumbledore's thoughts, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much.

Facing the 'eight-eyed giant spider tide' rushing towards them from all directions, Kewen instantly calmed down and entered a state of calm without distractions...
