Chapter 132: Rebellion in the Forbidden Forest
"Quiet!" Dumbledore and Canaan appeared at the gate.
I saw Dumbledore raise his wand alof, and a blue starlight shot out from the tip of the wand and detonated over the Great Hall.
The phantom beasts released by the students immediately lost their mana supply, turned into phantom cards, and fell from the sky.
The noisy auditorium calmed down instantly!
Dumbledore said sternly, "Boys, I think we should add another school rule prohibiting the release of monster cards outside the magic card dueling arena. ”
"Also, Professor Snape will preside over the luncheon ceremony next, so please ask Professor McGonagall to come out with me. ”
Looking at Dumbledore and Canaan with solemn expressions, Professor McGonagall walked out quickly, realizing that something unusual might have happened.
"Where are they going? I've never seen them so anxious. ”
"Who knows, but Dumbledore's magic was so cool. ”
"Don't worry about that, let's go to the Phantom Card Duel Arena in the afternoon, I can't wait. ”
"Quiet!" Professor Snape said, his voice cold and piercing like a viper.
"Gryffindor deducts ten points, this is punishment for your stupidity. Also, the prefects of the four academies, if your brains weren't eaten by cysts, I think you should know how to take the initiative to maintain order. ”
After speaking, Snape's indifferent gaze swept around the people who did not dare to speak, and then he spoke: "Open the meal!"
......
"Albus, what's going on?"
"Minerva, Hagrid and a few professors have already rushed over to the riot in the Forbidden Forest, and I think we might need your help. Dumbledore said quickly.
"Forbidden Forest Riot!" Professor McGonagall was shocked.
She knew it was a big deal, decades had passed since the last Forbidden Forest riot, and a professor had died as a result.
Moreover, there are so many dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest that it would be a very dangerous thing for the students of Hogwarts to escape from their habitat if they took advantage of the riot.
"As for me and Canaan having other urgent matters to deal with, the school affairs will be handed over to you first. If things get tricky, go to Professor Quavet, and he'll get the Alchemy Foundation to help you. After Dumbledore had finished speaking, he hurried to the headmaster's office with Canaan.
Professor McGonagall frowned as she looked at their distant figures, then stopped thinking about it and hurried in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
"Mr. Headmaster, we need to find Professor Fitz as soon as possible, Alita's disappearance must have something to do with him. Canaan hurried behind Dumbledore and spoke quickly.
It was only after the morning demo of the magic card duel that he learned from Roger that Alita had taken Pikachu to the Black Lagoon in the middle of the match.
He immediately realized that Alita might have discovered something, which is why he rushed over in such a hurry.
But he had just turned over the entire Black Lake in Mirror Space, but he didn't find Alita and Pikachu.
Even Professor Fitz has vanished.
"Don't worry, Canaan, I know how you feel. But Alita is a smart girl, and with Pikachu by her side, she won't be so prone to accidents. Dumbledore reassured.
Canaan nodded, a little relieved: "I hope it will be so, but this Forbidden Forest riot is a little unusual, could it be Professor Fitz's cause." ”
Dumbledore's gaze was solemn: "That's what I want to know, too." ”
......
In the Headmaster's room, Dumbledore pulled out a faded parchment scroll from a bookcase.
"It's a secret that only generations of principals know, and there's a reason why the four founders founded the school by the Black Lake a thousand years ago. Dumbledore spread out the parchment and said slowly.
Seeing the map recorded in brown ink on the parchment roll, Canaan suddenly flashed a sense of familiarity.
"This is Ryugu?"
He found the map to be very similar to the old map he had obtained from the Dragon Hunter.
"You know?" Dumbledore glanced at Canaan and continued, "Although many rumors have it that the Four Founders discovered the dragon here and defeated it before establishing Hogwarts Castle. ”
"But you also know that dragons are not so easy to hunt, the truth of the matter is that they found Dragon Valley here, and they only killed dozens of wurms. ”
"What the hell is in Dragon Valley, dragons?" asked Canaan, puzzled.
"Dragon Valley, like the Ancient Secret Realm, may have been left behind by the elves, it is not in the same dimension as the real world, and there are dragons and a large number of wurms living in it, and many wurm species that have become extinct in the wizarding world can be found there. ”
"So, you think Professor Fitz is here for this Dragon Valley?" Canaan said, raising an eyebrow.
Dumbledore nodded: "Not only that, but I suspect that the passage to Dragon Valley has been opened by him. Because a thousand years ago, there was also a riot in the Forbidden Forest, because a group of wurms ran out of the Dragon Valley, and they unleashed their dragon power to drive away the creatures in the Forbidden Forest. ”
So the four founders joined forces with the Black Lake and the intelligent races in the Forbidden Forest to hunt the wurm and work together to close the passage of the Dragon Valley. Eventually, they decided to establish Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry here, and signed a magical pact with these intelligent races to jointly guard Dragon Valley. ”
Speaking of this, Dumbledore looked at the sheepskin map in his hand again, shook his head, and said, "It's a pity that there is no specific location of Dragon Valley on this map, but the approximate location is circled, and we may have to spend some effort to find it." ”
"Maybe it's not that much trouble. Looking at a frowning Dumbledore, Canaan smiled and pulled out his blurry parchment map from his storage bag.
"This is what I got from a dragon hunter, and you can see that the terrain drawn on the two maps is very similar. Although my map is a bit vague, it marks the real location of the Dragon Valley, and we can determine the location of the Dragon Valley by referring to your map. ”
As he spoke, Canaan gestured with his finger on the map, "These red crosses are the locations marked by the dragon hunters, and according to your map, there are only three places that are possible: one in the southeast corner of the Forbidden Forest, one in the middle of the Black Lake, and finally..."
"In the mountains behind the castle!" his hand pointed to it.
Canaan paused and continued, "If, according to what you said, the Forbidden Forest rioted because the wurms drove away the creatures in the Forbidden Forest, then the Forbidden Forest is the most suspicious. The second is the Black Lake, but I just came back from the Black Lake, and I didn't find anything unusual, and I know that the space channel is generally not established in the waters, because the magic array involved in the teleportation array established in the water area will be very complicated, and no one will do this. ”
"The elves who hide the Dragon Valley will do that, Canaan. Dumbledore continued in a deep voice, "We can't afford to miss anything, we have to send someone to find each place. ”
"Well, then you go to the Forbidden Forest to help McGonagall teach them, and I'll go to the back mountain, and as for the Black Lake, I'll have Kama Taj's people help. Also, you'd better keep all your students in the castle, I don't want to see a little wizard attacked by a creature from the Forbidden Forest. ”
Dumbledore nodded, looked at Canaan and smiled, "Very good arrangement, it seems that you do have the talent to be a leader." ”
