Chapter 144 Ghost Horned Water Snake
Although judging from the illusions full of flaws and the tone of the other party, this illusory guy is slow in thinking, but Sean feels that solving the other party first and then talking about the problem is the right way of thinking.
The light of the curse arrived first, but the thick, illusory python did not move at all. The curse passed through its body and hit the dirt road behind.
Pudding's sharp claws also had no effect, and it felt like it had cut through a mass of icy air.
Is the other party a ghost? ! Sean's eyes widened in disbelief.
Except for incorporeal ghosts, normal creatures have physical forms, even "non-existences" like dementors.
However, ghosts have lost their abilities in life. They have no other special abilities except being able to ignore entities and occasionally stir up some air.
In the book "Animal Ghosts of Britain" written by Mopsy Flibert, it is not mentioned that magical animal ghosts can also retain or derive new special abilities.
The illusive long-horned water snake spat out its pearly-white tongue, and it looked a little impatient.
"Pudding, Hagrid!" Sean shouted loudly, he wanted to ensure Hagrid's safety first.
However, before Pudding could turn his head and act, the gem on the horned water snake's forehead flickered, and its already illusory body suddenly became transparent, and then disappeared into the air.
Hagrid, who had his eyes tightly closed, twisted unnaturally for a while and then returned to the controlled and godless look before.
Pudding's movement to knock Hagrid away could only be stopped.
"You don't mean what you say." Hagrid's dry voice was filled with anger.
"Did I promise you anything?" Sean asked.
Hagrid opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "...No, but you are not sincere."
"You took control of my friend first and hurt his pet."
Hagrid - to be precise, Hagrid was controlled by the ghostly horned water snake. He looked very embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to explain it to Sean.
This guy looks very slow and doesn't have a high IQ. And its ability should be limited, otherwise it could threaten me with Hagrid's life, or directly attack me, and then control me like Hagrid. To sum up, the ability is special but has no direct lethality, but it may be an illusion. I still have to be careful and wait for the professors to come to support... Sean narrowed his eyes and quickly made a preliminary decision. judgment.
"I'm very confused right now, and I'm not good at contacting others. I just thought of this way. I can apologize." Hagrid was controlled and said.
It is in line with the simple thinking of animals... Sean thought for a while and said: "First tell me clearly, what are you, where do you come from, what does helping mean? Also, why do you keep trying to lure me in?" In the Forbidden Forest?”
The other party seemed to have difficulty digesting the consecutive questions. It thought for a long time before saying intermittently: "I am a long-horned water snake--that's what you should call me? I don't know where I come from. Who am I?" I woke up a day and night ago...
"I suddenly became like this, and I didn't need to eat... My memory is very confusing, I don't know what I was going to do, but today I saw you when I was wandering in the woods, and it's hard for me to explain clearly. It’s a feeling, but I just know that you can help me..."
"Help you? What do you want to do?" Sean asked.
"I, I don't know either..." The other party's voice sounded sincere.
"Then why did you lure me into the Forbidden Forest?"
"Because there is an ancient power in the woods. I can rely on that to talk to you instead of borrowing this person's body. Then you will believe me." The horned water snake said honestly.
Sean unconsciously glanced in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. Ancient power? There are indeed many secrets in the Forbidden Forest...
But he didn't move at all. Sean was not prepared to use his own safety to test the truth of the other person's words.
Nadja gently pecked his finger, which was what Sean ordered, to prevent herself from being unknowingly dragged into the illusion again. He ran his Occlumency to make sure he was still in reality, then said, "I've never seen you, and you weren't in trouble."
"I don't know..." Hagrid's voice was filled with confusion, "But I have this feeling that you can help me realize a certain wish, which was left by my master..."
"Who is your master and what is your wish?"
"Wish I don't know...my master's name is Isolt Thayer."
Iseult Thayer... Sean frowned, this name sounded a bit familiar...
He seemed to have seen this name somewhere, he probably just glanced at it, otherwise his impression would not be so vague.
"Coming, coming!" Dave's thought came again.
The professors are here! Moreover, the transmission of thoughts between him and Dave is different from other methods, and this cannot be faked. Sean perked up, but he didn't show any abnormality and was ready to continue to hold the opponent back.
However, Hagrid turned his head and then said: "Someone is coming... I have to leave."
So sharp?
"Since you want to ask for help, why hide yourself?" Sean said loudly, trying to keep the other party.
"I feel... if I am caught, the master's wish will not be fulfilled... If you are willing to help me, come to the center of the woods, I will always be waiting for you there..." Hagrid finished this sentence, The mouth opens again.
The ghostly long-horned water snake crawled out of his mouth. It spat out a message to Sean. The gem on its forehead flickered and disappeared again.
"Wallup!" Professor McGonagall's voice came over. She was holding her wand and riding a horse. She looked like a weird knight.
Following her was Newt, who even had his own suitcase.
Professor McGonagall saw Hagrid standing there without any thought. She jumped off the horse with agility that was not suitable for her age, and the horse turned into a piece of wood.
"How are you doing?" She waved her wand, and three silver cats popped out from the tip of the wand. Their eyes had the same patterns as glasses.
Silver light enveloped Sean and Hagrid, making people feel warm all over.
This must be Professor McGonagall... Sean breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "I'm fine, look at Hagrid quickly, and the other party will be invisible."
The two professors immediately raised the magic spell and cast other magic. After making sure that there was no danger around, they checked Hagrid's situation.
"It's okay, I'm just unconscious...what happened?"
