Chapter 389: Centaur Refugee Camp (Additional Updates for Monthly Tickets of RMB 1,500)

"Can I ride a horse?" This was the fifth time Barbara begged Zhao Mai. He sternly refused the first four times. This time he warned: "If you say this again, I will sew you up." mouth."

The centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest has always been in the stage between animals and primitive society, but they are very proud for no reason and will never allow people to ride on them. They have their own language and can understand the wizard's words, especially words such as "dirty, low, chaotic and barbaric", and use these words as insults and attacks against them, and then immediately attack.

People and horses running freely should live in the wilderness, why are they in the Forbidden Forest? Because Zhao Mai wanted to contact the Centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest, he went to the Hogwarts library to check this history, but he only found some vague records. During the era of witch hunting, there were some accusations about witches making peace with centaurs, and there were even records of centaurs kidnapping witches at the stake. After that, centaurs suddenly disappeared in the wilderness. Wizarding history books have a lot to say about the Muggles' persecution of witches, but there are not many records about how centaurs turned from allies of wizards to enemies, and the situation has been relatively peaceful until today.

In the 15th century, "sheep cannibalism" began in England, witch hunting began in the 15th century, and humans and horses began to disappear from historical records in the 15th century. Is this also a coincidence?

Barbara pursed her lips. Although she was a little disappointed, she knew enough was enough. She is not as obsessed with alchemy as her family, but has always been interested in various magical animals. In particular, her grandfather, who had always been strict and rigid, was whipped by her grandfather for letting go of magical animals. This incident left a deep impression on her, which inspired her to become extremely passionate about magical animals.

Strictly speaking, centaurs are not magical animals, but they are very rare after all. She looked back and saw that the centaur's hands were tied, and Ado was dragging him forward. A "binding spell" was cast on the rope, making it almost impossible to break free with brute force. The young centaurs are no match for Addo in terms of strength, and every time he wants to sneak attack the giant, Zhao Mai will see through it, and then he will be given an electric shock that is painful but will not leave any wounds.

"How did you cast lightning? Why didn't I see you use the wand or hear you recite the spell?" Barbara began to shift her attention again. She felt that she, the "eighth grade senior", had something hidden in her. Countless secrets. She only went five kilometers into the Forbidden Forest before she encountered all kinds of troubles. Her backpack was stolen by a wind monkey, her broom was dragged away by a slime vine, she lost her way and bumped into a troll. But Mike had already penetrated dozens of kilometers, but it was as if he was wandering in his own backyard. No monsters or beasts dared to provoke him.

"If I were you, I would stay by Ado's side and be careful." Zhao Mai said: "This is no longer a safe natural environment. There is a dangerous smell in the wind."

Barbara sniffed hard and smelled only a damp mist with a hint of rotten earth. But out of caution, she took three steps at a time and came to Ado's side, hunched her neck and lowered her body.

On the other side of the Forbidden Forest, Macht, the man who "luckily" escaped from Zhao Mai, made a big circle and finally ran back to the temporary camp of the men and horses. The original tribe of three hundred people now has less than half left, and there are still thirty sick people among them. They evacuated their original homes in a hurry, so they didn't carry much food, and now it's all used up. Centaurs and horses have two sets of blood supply systems, respiratory systems and digestive systems, that is, two hearts, four lungs and two stomachs for digesting omnivores and herbivores respectively. They are therefore stronger and therefore more susceptible to hunger. Hurt and his companion Maloof originally went to the old camp to look for any leftover food, but when they returned empty-handed, some people were going to starve.

The current chief of this tribe, Branverton, lost an arm and a sight in the battle, but he still killed the troll who hurt him and protected the retreating women and children behind him, so he is widely loved. He watched with his own eyes the horrifying scene where the troll whose eye socket was pierced by his own spear slowly got up, ate his fallen arm, and then recovered as before. So he had an idea, hoping to get help from the wizard to defeat the enemy and regain his homeland.

"Chief, I saw wizards and giants moving together. I encountered them near the Miigai camp. Malouf was caught by them. I couldn't save him, so I had no choice but to run back first." Macht walked all the way through the camp. , rushed in front of Branverton. The centaurs didn't know the difference between giants and trolls. In addition, Addo was wearing a helmet and armor, and the huge shield blocked most of his body, so Macht regarded him as a member of the trolls.

"What are you talking about, the wizard and the giant are together?" Chief Branverton stood up suddenly, swung his tail and jumped in front of Macht. "Can you see clearly?"

"Yes, I saw a wizard, a giant, and two wizards. They could hold javelins in the air, and they could make trees wrap around Maloof like a boa constrictor. Maloof was brave, Let me run back and report the news first. I think he is in danger."

"Damn wizards, I knew they would do this again." An old man with a mane dyed white sighed: "Do you still remember the story told by the shaman? The wizard was greedy, hoping to get the secret of the horse's physical strength, and captured They captured and studied humans and horses, and even cast amnesia spells on our ancestors, trying to make us tamed like the miserable elves! Now they are back, using giants as pioneers, killing the strongest among us, and taking away many of them! Didn't Man say before he died that this time it was magic and wizards? How can we ask the enemy for help!"

"Dumbledore is different." Branverton shook his head: "If there is one wizard who is kind-hearted, treats us as equals, and is willing to lend a helping hand, that is Dumbledore. His school At the other end of the Forbidden Forest, although the environment is very poor, it can guarantee our safety, and there are no giants there."

"No, they have all been sent to us." Old Man Ma shook his head: "Chief, although we will do whatever you say, we still have to think twice! Wizards... wizards never have any good things."

"Let me think about it again." Branverton also hesitated. He stretched out his one arm and patted Macht on the shoulder: "Good boy, you have run a long way. Go and rest quickly. Although there is no tender grass, there are still a lot of leaves. Go and eat some first."

"Yes, Chief." Macht bowed slightly and was about to leave. The old man suddenly grabbed his tail and said, "Makht, where did you come back from?"

"You came from the trap in the valley to the south. Doesn't it mean that you need to go through there to get in and out?"

"Well, good boy, you did the right thing." Old Man Ma asked Macht to leave, and then lowered his voice and said to Branverton: "Chief, Macht has a peculiar smell on his body. He should have been marked. The enemy may follow Come for the smell, we have to be prepared."

"You're right, gather ten good men, bring all the weapons, and go to the valley to ambush the wizard!" Branverton immediately ordered.

At this moment, two horn sounds came from the south, and the low whine was disturbing. "We encountered an attack in the valley area? How could it happen so quickly?" Old Man Ma turned pale with horror.
