Chapter 352: Centaur Man
There is no real face to the darkness, never to know the horror of the darkness. Having never fought against such a huge force as the Death Eaters, the Wizard Army, or the Organization Don, he will never understand how small the power of the individual is.
Hogwarts Magic Castle has a lot of castles, and it's early summer, and the edge of the Forbidden Forest has become lush with pine, banyan, birch, and fir trees. Beautiful scenery. The whole castle looks mysterious and solemn in the morning mist, built against the mountain, and is very harmonious with the surrounding environment. There are also kitchens, owl towers, docks and other facilities. There is a cloister that communicates with the castles, towers, and halls on the east and west sides.
Xie An has not been familiar with the various places of the castle since he has seen much. During his time at the castle, he spent most of his time meditating on the top floor of the Ravenclaw tower, and rarely had the opportunity to wander around like this.
The twins and Shay split through the corridor to the Gryffindor dormitory, and Shay was left alone except for the castle, following a gravel path through a pine forest. The tall grey brick walls of Hogwarts appeared in front of Shea's eyes.
In a small pavilion on the edge of the black lake, several students were excitedly observing the huge octopus in the black lake, and after the mermaid tribe was expelled, the octopus monster became more and more casual. Seeing Xie An coming alone, these year-old children all smiled and said hello, "Classmate, you look older than me, what grade are you?"
"Sophomore. Xie An was slightly stunned, looking at these still somewhat childish faces, his heart suddenly felt a little relaxed, he was not much older than them, so why should he think too much about those things that were too far away, "You are first-year freshmen, why haven't I seen you?"
There were six of them.
"Of course you haven't seen us, we're from the Suzaku School of Magic. Xie An noticed that these first-grade students were all yellow-skinned children, and because Xie An had more contact with people, and he himself was Chinese, he didn't react for a while.
Thinking that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was still reporting this tournament, and that there were five other students from the school of witchcraft and wizardry living here, Xie An suddenly had some real feelings. Of course, these children from the Vermilion Bird Magic School in the South China Sea of China will not know all the weirdness of this black lake.
A feeling of being in a different world came to Xie An's heart again!
Xie Anxin felt an indescribable emotion, and today he didn't know why he suddenly became very sensitive: thinking of the apocalyptic times he had experienced, and the days like purgatory, those pains suddenly poured into his mind like a dream... Courage wears out, wisdom turns into stubbornness, killing becomes an instinctive habit, and Xie An knows what it feels like.
It's just that the feeling suddenly becomes real and tangible.
There are all kinds of purgatory-like life in the last days, always be careful, all day long to prevent sneak attacks from behind, even if they win, they understand that it is only temporary, and the war will go on forever; some people cannot hold on, and finally they become detached in self-destruction, and some people become numb, and after losing all kinds of hope and perseverance, they become inhuman and ghostless. But there are still a group of strong lives, in this "sea of suffering", gritting their teeth and persevering. In these hopeless days, there is joy in suffering.
Happiness and joy are sometimes so subtle, maybe it's just a smile on each other during the truce, which makes people satisfied.
Xie An and the six people from the Suzaku Magic School went to the small pavilion, stood on the dock, and chatted. These children from the Suzaku School of Magic are actually not the best students, they can only be regarded as the best in the first grade. These children are very curious about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the professors of Suzaku School of Witchcraft and Wizardry hope that these children will open their eyes.
Standing beside Xie An was a thin wizard, like a hemp pole, named Zhu Yi, whose family was a farmer in a rural area in the middle of the country, who had hardly left the county seat since he was a child. When he found out that he was actually a wizard, he couldn't believe it. Standing on the other side was a sharp-cheeked student named Zhanji. With gloomy eyes, he is a wizard from the magic capital of the Far East. He speaks in a rather old-fashioned manner, and there is always a skeptical look between his words.
Far away is a girl in jeans, white-faced, named Wei Qian, whose family is from the central part of the Far East, who doesn't talk much and seems to be very shy. Next to her was a strong, dark-skinned wizard. His name is Qin Hongwei, and he seems to be a person from the imperial capital of the Far East. I kept talking to Wei Qian in a low voice, and I didn't care much about things here.
There are a lot of students on the shores of the Black Lake, and now the professors have changed the way they teach, and the students have a lot more free time. The six of them were complete strangers to Xie An, and they didn't have any scruples about talking on this small dock. The group of students had only been in Hogwarts for a month, discussing the secrets of Hogwarts' "celebrities":
For example, Albus Dumbledore, who is powerful and has a good temperament, but is a bit stern and does not like to meet people, Professor Flitwick is more kind, Professor Minerva McGonagall has a good character, and Professor Severus Snape is ......; In short, they had a hard understanding of the professors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Since the start of the tournament, many wizards have gathered at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and for a while, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has become the center of wizarding in the world.
Hogwarts is located in the heart of wizarding England, and needless to say, the four founders are also very famous figures in the wizarding world.
Hogwarts graduates, with a little ability, can basically enter the Ministry of Magic, and some have family backgrounds, and they will also travel around the world to increase their knowledge.
Xie An listened to them gossip a few words, and soon the conversation turned to Hogwarts. Like all the students talk about their classmates: the girl in that school is the prettiest, the future is ready to play there, the frustration with the test scores, who has an affair with whom...
Xie An listened with a smile, occasionally interjecting a few words.
His magic power was now completely unwielded, and any unauthorized casting of spells could have unknowable consequences.
As he was talking, a young wizard walked quickly through the field, panting and shouting, "Zhu Yi, you are really here." Principal Lan asked us to gather, as if there was something to announce. β
"Oh, what's the matter?" Qin Hongwei asked curiously. "I don't know, it seems like I'm going to announce something about the Warriors. β
Everyone walked back together, and the only girl saw that Xie An did not move, and suddenly asked, "You don't want to go back?" Xie An was slightly stunned, and replied with a smile: "You guys go first, I still have some things." β
Saying goodbye to a few classmates from the Vermilion Bird School of Magic and Wizardry that he met by chance, Xie An suddenly remembered the rolling at home that he hadn't seen for a long time, and said that the fool should have grown up a lot.
β¦
Although the periphery is already lush and green, the inside of the Forbidden Forest still looks lifeless, and those big trees that have been unknown for an unknown number of years, some of them have lazily sprouted, and some of them have completely withered.
Talking to Qiu gave Xie An some understanding of the current situation of ordinary wizards. These ordinary wizards will never understand things, Xie An knows a lot, and similarly, those things that Xie An does not understand, these ordinary wizards may not be unaware.
In the past few days with Queen Anne, Xie An has been thinking about these things, and those powerful forces hidden in the shadows of this world are being discovered little by little, Xie An's original naΓ―ve thoughts now seem completely useless.
Originally, the destruction of this world was due to the use of doomsday power, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. The power of doom is certainly a sword that cuts off the way of human life, but the hand that really holds this sword is the human self that Xie An wants to see the most.
After entrusting the laboratory in the Forbidden Forest to Qiu last time, Xie An rarely came to the Forbidden Forest, he didn't have much time, and now it was even more urgent, and now his body was an unstable bomb, as long as he was not careful, the consequence might be destruction.
Xie An was purely for distraction this time, wandering around Hogwarts Castle and the Forbidden Forest, and before he knew it, he had walked into the depths of the Forbidden Forest. It's gloomy all year round, with no sunlight in sight, and the rotten leaves are soft, and some unknown little insects are afraid to run between the leaves. "Stop, wizard, you've trespassed into centaur territory. β
"Huh?" Xie An looked up, and it was a very young-looking centaur with brown hair, who was pointing his bow and arrow at Xie An.
"I didn't mean anything, I just walked around and got here by accident. "Xie An is naturally not afraid of these centaurs. The centaur was a very young centaur whether he listened to the sound or looked like it, Xie An explained.
"Whatever your purpose, leave now. The young centaur said angrily. At this time, due to the bloody suppression of the mermaid tribe in the Black Lake by the Ministry of Magic, the attitude of other intelligent beings towards wizards has changed. Although the centaurs do not compare themselves to any kind of humanoids, most centaurs hate wizards after knowing what happened to the fishmen.
Xie An looked at the centaur expressionlessly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and just when Xie An couldn't help but kill this eye-catching guy, a crisp girl came: "Fernand, what's going on?" is a female centaur, this centaur has a naked upper body, only a clean linen cloth covers the chest, and the lower body is a horse body, which is extremely rare white, and this centaur also has rare golden hair. If it weren't for the body of a horseman, it would be a white beauty.
"Your Highness, this wizard is sneaky and wants to break into our territory. I was about to banish him. The woman glanced at Xie An, and saw that he was wearing a black ordinary wizard's robe, and he looked like a child, and immediately guessed that he should be a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which was not far from here.
"Wizard, you're not welcome here, don't leave yet. The centaur said again. Xie An didn't want to clash with anyone at this time, not to mention that his magic power was already on the verge of getting out of control, who knew what would happen once he fought. Last time, if it wasn't for Queen Anne's all-out efforts to control the situation in Xie An's body, I'm afraid Xie An would have completely turned into a monster at this time.
After a confrontation between the two sides, it took a while. A ray of midday sunlight quietly filtered through the branches and fell on the damp ground.
Xie An didn't care whether the territory of these centaurs was territorial, he was about to turn around and save him, and the centaur suddenly said: "You have a familiar aura on your body, it seems to be the breath of a unicorn, I remember that some time ago, a monster used to wander here, slaughtering unicorns to get life, could it be you?"
Xie An ignored it and continued walking.
"Bang!" With the sound of the wind, there was a soft sound, and a rough bow and arrow had already shot at Xie An's feet not far away. Xie An turned his senses and looked at the two decaurs looking for death with an expressionless face.
"What does our Highness ask you?" The young centaur beside the centaur drank, and the arrow shot out of his hand, but Xie An did not answer, his eyes only looked at the young centaur, and a rope had appeared out of thin air, strangling the centaur like a giant python. The young centaur was immediately overwhelmed, and his face turned red.
Although Xie An can hardly use any magic power at this time, but these small magics, for Xie An, don't even need magic power, after fusing with the hell picture, Xie An's strength skyrocketed again, although he can't confront Albus Dumbledore or Voldemort head-on, but there is no problem with all retreating.
When the centaur saw that her companion was being attacked, she immediately tried to help, but the rope became tighter and tighter like a coiled python, and the centaur's face had turned from red to purple, and she was about to die. The female horse man looked at Xie An angrily, and without hesitation, he was an arrow. This time it was not a warning, but it came directly to Xie An's heart.
Before the arrow could reach Xie An's face, it had already exploded, and Xie An looked at the centaur again, and immediately there was a python-like rope on her body. The centaur was agile and wanted to break free, but unfortunately this was magic after all, not a horseman, and there was no reason at all, so it was directly put on the centaur's body.
Seeing that both of them were about to be strangled here, the red light in Xie An's eyes flashed strangely, and the two python-like ropes were loosened. Both centaurs were slumped on the ground, the young centaur had fainted, and the centaur seemed to be still sane.
Xie An walked to the side of the centaur and stared at her for a while, as if hesitating about something, the centaur struggled hard, but the dizziness of lack of oxygen made her struggle only in vain. The centaur was still struggling when she saw a flash of white light, and she had passed out.
When she woke up again, she felt a pain in her head as if it was about to burst, the centaur looked at the tall trees and yellow fallen leaves around her, this seemed to be the forbidden forest, she didn't wonder, how could she be here, she remembered...
