Chapter 350 Deep in the Forbidden Forest
Wrapped up in a boa constrictor and then interrogated by a hideous dog - the house-elf Bigby thought it was the dog, not the boa constrictor - that was speaking in his head - even in his deepest and most terrifying dreams, he imagined There is no such scene.
He could sense that the other party was casting a spell on him, trying to hypnotize him and dig out information from his mind. This was absolutely not allowed! He must fulfill his master's orders, keep the tutors in trouble and unable to take exams, and must not reveal his master's identity. Even though the other person seems very friendly, he must persist.
What to do if you can’t hold on? Bigby suddenly thought of this question. He gritted his teeth - causing his gums to bleed, after all, the python's skin was so tough - he tried to open his mouth, let his tongue move as much as possible, and then made a purring sound from his throat .
Zhao Mai felt the elf's movements, so he looked at him curiously: "You can't speak or move. Do you still want to cast spells?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" He tried to apparate (teleport) away, but he was entangled so tightly that the python would be teleported along with him. The python was so big that he doubted whether aggressive spells could defeat the python, and he only had one chance to cast the spell, so he had to choose a method with a higher success rate.
The idea of constantly concentrating and fully executing the master's request is so powerful that even the general rules of casting spells will be suppressed. Zhao Mai clearly felt a violent force emerging from the elf's body, with quite strong personal emotions attached to it, like a psychic power. Is it possible to use psychic powers to power magic spells? Just as Zhao Mai was thinking about this problem, the elf clicked and turned himself into a stone statue.
Zhao Mai quickly let go of his body to prevent himself from crushing the petrified elf. "In order to keep the secret, you would rather petrify yourself? You are really loyal!" Zhao Mai changed back into human form and held the stone statue of the elf in his hand. "So what if you don't tell me now? Isn't there someone who can identify which family you are from?"
Reserve Liang held the wand left by the elf on the ground in his mouth, wagging his tail to please Zhao Mai. Zhao Mai took a look and saw that it was just a standard wand used for school practice, and it was impossible to tell who the owner was. He put away the wand and patted the head of the food reserve: "You know what you have done. Next time you swipe my face with your tail, I will not give you meat for three days!"
The big dog whined, and Zhao Mai reached out and touched the hair behind its ears. "Okay, stop being such a coquettish person. Go around and see if there are any clues. Why does this little elf come to this place?"
A man and a dog searched the bushes, but found nothing in particular. Judging from the footprints on the ground, the elf ran here and then started pacing back and forth without any intention of staying away. If he wasn't looking for something, he was waiting for something.
Sure enough, after a while, the sound of intensive horse hooves came from the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and nearly twenty centaurs came running from a distance. Their upper bodies are humans and their lower bodies are horses. They have a pair of arms and four horse legs. They are all over two meters tall and are extremely strong. They jumped forward in the forest, and the trees and shrubs did not affect their mobility at all. Each centaur carries a longbow, javelin, and spear, and it seems that they are all proficient in these weapons.
The centaurs surrounded Zhao Mai in a semicircle, looking down at him with eager eyes: "Who are you? When did you come?"
"Mike Longhou, we just arrived." Zhao Mai said to the centaur: "Is there an elf coming to find you?"
"What an elf? I've never heard of it." A brown centaur emerged from the crowd. He looked taller and burlier than the other centaurs: "This is our territory. No one else is welcome to set foot on it. Leave immediately! "
"Don't you know this elf?" Zhao Mai mentioned the petrified elf in his hand. Unexpectedly, the centaur suddenly took off his long bow and aimed an arrow at Zhao Mai! Zhao Mai was not slow in his movements either. He hooked the food reserves behind him with one kick, and at the same time used his psychic powers to create a transparent tower shield to block the front.
"You want a fight? I will accompany you to the end!"
Unexpectedly, the centaur did not shoot an arrow, but shouted loudly: "Leave our territory immediately, or we will shoot you to death!"
Zhao Mai lowered his head and looked at the elf in his hand. If he fights a centaur, he will definitely win, but it will be difficult to avoid hurting the stone statue in his hand. This is the only clue he currently has. And he looked at the food reserve. The food reserve cannot be teleported in Hogwarts. It is just a relatively strong and smart dog now, and it is difficult to cope with the melee of a group of centaurs.
"Stupid creature, you don't know who you have provoked." Zhao Mai shook his head, took a deep breath to appear calm, and then said: "Okay, I will leave your territory now. Remember to put a sign on the border , otherwise who would know that this is your territory? I’ve told you this suggestion. If I don’t see the sign next time, I won’t admit that this is your territory again!”
Zhao Mai turned around and left, keeping the shield behind him. The six centaurs followed him slowly with weapons in hand, always looking very nervous, as if Zhao Mai was some kind of scourge. They always stayed about ten steps away, and a little further away, there were two teams of centaurs spread out on the flanks to drive away the surrounding beasts and prevent them from attacking Zhao Mai. For a moment, Zhao Mai didn't know whether he was being escorted or escorted.
"Don't come to the Forbidden Forest in the future." The centaur suddenly said after traveling a few miles: "Every time you come, you will bring danger and death. You are not welcome here. Go back and tell your wizard chief, this is the last warning: Anyone who sets foot on it again will be killed without mercy!"
Then, the centaur kept watch and backed away slowly, disappearing into the dark woods. Zhao Mai squatted down, entered the green dreamland, and immediately discovered the whereabouts of the people and horses.
Most of the centaurs withdrew, leaving only three to monitor Zhao Mai from a distance. Judging from their behavior, the meaning of precaution is very obvious. I don’t know what makes them so afraid. Unfortunately, the centaurs did not talk about this matter, so Zhao Mai couldn't get any information.
The green dream continues to extend deep into the Forbidden Forest, and the complex ecosystem here is completely presented in Zhao Mai's mind. It can be seen that this vast forest has maintained its original style very well. Even the centaur villages are only adapted to local conditions, which can be regarded as a model of harmonious coexistence with nature. Zhao Mai walked into the village and saw the centaurs gathering together, looking worriedly at an isolated brand new wooden house next to the village.
There were constant coughing sounds inside the wooden house, accompanied by bursts of throbbing wails. Zhao Mai tried to walk into the wooden house, but found a layer of natural force spells that stopped him.
"The souls of our ancestors will protect us and let our people recover as soon as possible..." Three centaur shamans with long feather crowns on their heads came around from behind the house. One was carrying incense, one was spreading soybeans on the ground, and the other was making complicated gestures. And weird gestures. "Dispel the pain, rebuild health, keep this terrible disaster away, and let the initiator reap the consequences..."
