Chapter 274 Unfriendly Centaur
Everyone discussed the mermaid for a while, and Ivan asked some details.
Then, the topic returned to the centaur, and Hermione kept whispering what she should pay attention to when contacting the centaur from the book.
"I don't really care about contacting the centaur!" Ron wrinkled his nose, threw a stone heavily into the stream, and said impatiently, "What on earth do we have to do to get the one they treasure that can increase the magic power?" What about magic items?"
This is the key to this trip, the key to changing your own destiny.
Ron has been thinking about this all the way. He wants to get that thing, but he doesn't want others to see that he is too deliberate.
"I mean, we all know we need the approval of the centaur." Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ron tried to make himself look more natural, "The problem now is, after getting the approval of the centaur What to do? That final test..."
He had heard from Sirius that there was a final test to get the item, and he wanted to know what that test was so he could be prepared.
"In the temple where that item is kept, an illusion magic has been arranged. Only by passing the test of that magic can you get that thing." Sirius said slowly, "That magic is very powerful, and everyone in it The things I saw were different, and I didn't know what to do! For example, I saw..."
He stopped suddenly, looked at the woods vigilantly, and raised his wand as quickly as possible.
"Be careful!" he said in a low voice, signaling for everyone to keep quiet.
His wand was pointing at the dense bush in front of him, the magic power of his body was concentrated, and the end of the wand glowed weakly.
Ivan and the others also hurriedly pulled out their wands. No one spoke, and everyone could hear the movement from the woods, and something was approaching.
The next second, bang!
At the same time as Sirius' magic wand emitted a red light, a sharp arrow flew over from a distance, landed on the tree trunk above his head, and made a clanging sound.
Hermione screamed in a low voice, and Ivan hurriedly blocked her behind him.
Sirius had a solemn expression, while Harry and Ron's faces were pale. The atmosphere was extremely tense. The battle was about to break out, but the other side did not attack again.
"Who are you?" A deep male voice came from the bushes.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a man floated toward them through the dappled green light.
Under the bright moonlight, Aiwen saw that this was a centaur, his waist was smooth and naturally connected with the reddish-brown body of the horse.
He had a proud face with high cheekbones and long black hair.
"Hmph, humans!" The centaur said with a hint of contempt in his haughty tone, "leave our forbidden forest, this is not the place you should come..."
"Long time no see, Margaret!" Sirius seemed to know each other, but his tone was not very pleasant.
"You are...Sirius Black!" Margery froze for a moment, he stared at Sirius for a long time, and seemed to recognize who he was.
There was a rustling sound from the woods behind the centaur, and four or five more centaur appeared one after another.
Ivan saw Bain with a black body and a beard. He had met each other a month ago, but Bain pretended that he had never seen Ivan and Harry.
"Blake!" Margaret said vigilantly. He didn't put away his bow and arrow, but still pointed at them. "What are you doing back in our Forbidden Forest?"
"I brought these children here, hoping to get the item handed down by Gryffindor himself that is kept by your tribe." Sirius said loudly, "They hope to get your approval and try to challenge that The final test."
"Get our approval?!" Margaret looked away from Sirius, and looked suspiciously at Ivan and the four of them.
"This is Ivan Mason, Hermione Granger." Sirius introduced, "The red-haired boy behind is Ron Weasley, and next to him is Harry Potter."
"Harry Potter!"
Hearing Harry's name, the horsemen whispered for a while.
Their eyes were all on Harry, full of curiosity and amazement. It seemed that he was looking for the scar on his forehead, the evidence of defeating Voldemort.
Harry took a step back, pulling his hair down nervously.
"Only a respectable and trustworthy friend can get the friendship of a centaur!" Margaret said disdainfully. "This is not something to joke about, Blake! The four of them are too young, and they are still foals. I think they It doesn't meet the requirements, you should take them out of here as soon as possible before we kill you."
"Margaret, I know your rules." Sirius didn't back down, and said tit for tat, "According to the ancient agreement between your ancestors and the founder of the castle, you have no right to refuse..."
"We are not human slaves. We are not obliged to keep things for you and take them away when you need them." Margaret said fiercely, "Blake, take these four ponies and get out of here, otherwise Don't blame me for being rude."
"You have no right to stop us!" Sirius raised his wand again and said, frowning, "You are still as stubborn as ever, Margaret! If you want to fight again like you did twenty years ago, I am always with you .”
The two looked at each other angrily, as if something had happened to them before.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked terrified. They tried their best to prevent Sirius from rushing over, hoping that he would calm down. They didn't come here to fight the centaurs tonight, but they needed their approval.
While stopping Sirius, Aiwen looked at the centaurs on the opposite side, looking for their weaknesses. Once a battle broke out, he could take action as soon as possible.
Although the centaurs are not proficient in magic, they are very powerful in combat.
Without using black magic, Aiwen is not absolutely sure of defeating them.
"Calm down, Margery!" Just as the situation was about to get out of control, Bain suddenly stepped out and said gently, "Slaughtering a foal is a terrible crime!"
He walked up to Margaret and whispered something.
Ivan saw that he seemed to be pointing at himself, and then Margaret raised his head and looked at himself in surprise. He seemed to be persuaded by Bane, and waved his hand. A young centaur with a dark black body turned and ran away into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
"Whether you meet the conditions requires the judgment of the elders." Bain raised his head and said loudly, and then he retreated to the centaurs.
No one moves and no one speaks.
There was confusion and anxiety in the air, and everyone was waiting for the elder centaur to arrive.
About ten minutes later, thunderous horseshoes sounded from all sides, and Aiwen felt the whole ground shake, and more than forty centaurs appeared from the Forbidden Forest one after another. (To be continued.)
