#44 - There really is a secret

Sometimes the ears discover secrets before the eyes, just like now.

As the crisp and melodious neighing faded, a pure white divine horse appeared at the highest point of the opposite hillside.

Especially under the moonlight, the white horse seemed to be flowing with sacred brilliance.

Brad was very excited, he verified the family's secret and knew the answer represented by the 【♪】.

In his opinion, this was regaining the family's glory.

However, Moon was only happy for a moment before falling into thought.

This white horse, appearing last, must be a magical creature, but Moon was too familiar with its appearance.

The white horse had a long, golden, spiraled horn on its head and was very clean, spotless.

"Isn't this a unicorn?"

Ever since encountering the big snake and two magical plants in the forest farm, Moon had suspected that the world he was born in and the world where Hogwarts was located must have some connection.

Now he was even more convinced of this.

While Moon was still thinking, Brad tugged hard on his sleeve.

"Let's go! Let's leave here first."

"What's wrong?"

Moon looked at Brad, who had put away the map, in confusion.

"I know what the last two symbols on the map represent."

Brad said, quietly retreating backwards.

Moon also slowly followed, but he still glanced several times at the white horse on the hilltop with some reluctance.

This was a magical creature similar to a unicorn that he had finally found, and he didn't want to give up so easily.

Seeing Moon still hesitating, Brad pulled him again.

"Let's go, those two symbols mean its horn can kill lions!"

Moon also remembered the description of the endpoint on the map very clearly.

【♪, ►, 三】

It is now known that the 【♪】 symbol represents the white horse's neighing.

Then the 【►】 must be the golden horn on its head.

But 【三】 actually represents a lion, which is a bit too abstract.

Although he couldn't help but complain in his heart, Moon still slowly retreated with Brad.

However, just as he was about to take hold of the horse's reins, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Whoosh!

A white beam of light with a sound blocked Moon and Brad.

"Wh... what do we do?"

Brad asked in an extremely small voice.

"Don't move ~"

Moon looked at the golden horn flashing with cold light and began to try to recall the relevant knowledge he had seen in the Hogwarts library.

Unicorn: Snow-white fur, long horn, runs fast, prefers to approach witches, slaughtering will be cursed...

After searching through the knowledge points in his mind, Moon didn't find a record of a unicorn killing a lion, nor did he find a record of how to escape.

The golden horn was still slowly approaching, and Moon could feel the horse behind him breathing harder.

Two meters...

One meter...

And then it brushed past.

When the golden horn brushed past him, Moon looked at the very sharp tip of the horn, he had no doubt that this horn could completely skewer him.

However, the white horse didn't seem willing to approach males, which made Moon breathe a sigh of relief.

Riiiip~

Just as Moon was rejoicing that he would have one less hole, the sound of cloth tearing came from behind him.

Then something fell to the ground.

Moon and Brad looked back together.

They saw that the white horse had already used its sharp horn to cut open the cloth bag on Moon's saddle.

Inside were a large willow branch that Moon had brought out, and a half-finished wand.

As Moon hesitated whether to snatch the willow branch from the sharp golden horn, the white horse had already stretched out its tongue and began to enjoy the delicious food.

It was eating the bark that Moon had shaved off the willow branch.

The great willow tree was very magical, those magical fluorescent lights not only penetrated into the trunk, but also into the bark.

Although Moon didn't know what the bark was for, he still kept it.

There wasn't much bark, and the white horse only stretched out its tongue once, accurately taking away everything.

But it didn't seem to have had enough, and looked at another willow branch that hadn't been peeled.

"D... do you need help?"

As soon as Moon finished speaking, the white horse's eyes widened instantly, revealing a look of doubt.

Σ(O_O)

"I don't have any malicious intent, I can just help you peel the bark off."

As if understanding what Moon was saying, the white horse actually nodded slightly and then took two steps back.

Moon had actually discovered that this white horse had severe cleanliness, and in every place it had walked, leaves covered the soil.

Even the willow bark it had just eaten, it gently curled up with its tongue, as for the willow bark that fell on the mud, it didn't even look at it.

After getting permission, Moon hurriedly picked up the willow branch and washed it in the stream first, making sure there was no dust on it, before taking out a small knife to start making the white horse's dinner.

The first strip of willow bark was shaved off, and Moon rolled it up and placed it on a clean leaf.

The white horse sniffed it gently and rolled it into its mouth.

The second one, the same.

The third one, as soon as the willow bark fell from the willow branch, the white horse's tongue was already catching it below.

After a full six strips, Moon's fear of the white horse gradually decreased.

Now that sharp golden horn was resting against his chest, as long as the other party wanted to...

Uh, the other party definitely didn't want to!

Because after eating, the white horse consciously took three steps back, and then tilted its head to look at Moon.

"I only came this time to get one of your tail hairs to make a wand core."

Moon said, picking up the two halves of the willow branch on the ground, which had already been hollowed out with a very thin slit.

This was where the wand core material would be placed.

The white horse should have understood what Moon said.

It first sniffed the two halves of the willow branch in Moon's hand, and then slowly walked towards the grassland where the horses were.

Moon subconsciously followed, and Brad, who had been reminding him, had no choice but to follow.

"You came here just to get its hair?" Brad asked softly after catching up.

"That's right."

The white horse that returned to the grassland was like a king, all the wild horses knelt on the ground, each lowering their heads.

"The secret of your family isn't this white horse, is it?"

"Of course not, those wild horses are the ones that can mate with the foals, they should have stayed with this white horse for a long time and undergone some kind of change."

While Moon was whispering to Brad, the white horse suddenly let out a crisp neigh, and then all the wild horses came over and surrounded the two.

"What is it going to do?"

Moon was startled by this scene.

"Is it going to imprison us?"

Brad, who claimed to have the most knowledge of horses, also panicked.

Now the two were in the white horse's territory, and the map that helped them find this place also indicated the white horse's danger.

This made the two not dare to drive away the surrounding herd of wild horses at all.

Fortunately, the herd of wild horses eventually stopped at a distance of two steps away, which made Moon and Brad feel slightly relieved.

Watching the herd of horses carry out the order, the white horse showed a satisfied expression, and then quickly ran towards the hillside.

Moon saw the white horse gradually running away through the gaps between the wild horses, and all he could do now was wait quietly.

Time passed little by little, and the night gradually dissipated.

Just as Moon thought that this time would be fruitless, the figure of the white horse appeared again.

However, this time the white horse seemed to be holding something in its mouth.
