Ryan was startled when he heard this, because it was the voice of an adult woman, but it was different from that of any professor in the school.

Fortunately, being able to speak means being able to communicate, and there is hope to avoid meaningless battles. So Ryan plucked up the courage to shout, "I have no ill will, and I have no intention of harming anyone, I can exit the forest now." ”

"Now, don't be that nervous, I just want to thank you for helping the unicorns. As soon as he finished speaking, a figure came out of the jungle.

"Centaurs!" Ryan exclaimed quietly, and it was a centaur who had never appeared in the novel. But think about it, the centaurs don't grow out of the ground, how can there be only men?

The centaur appeared to be in her mid-30s, dressed in delicate brown leather armor with a black page hammer hanging from her waist. Her horse's part is white, with a round shield and her bow and arrows hanging from the left and right sides of the horse.

Ryan saw that she didn't hold her weapon, and then put away the plants in a friendly gesture.

She walked up to Ryan with a graceful stride, then bent down and said to Ryan, "Mars is slowly starting to brighten, and everyone thinks it is a bad omen, and stubbornly believes that Providence cannot be violated. But I think there are times when it is our duty to help the innocent and part of Providence. That's why I came out today, and I saw you curing that unicorn here. ”

"This is what I should do, after all, for those forest elves, as long as the normal people who have the ability to see them in danger, they will go to help. Ryan said, tilting his head.

"yes, what do you think is going to attack a unicorn?" asked the centaur.

"I don't know, but I noticed that the injured unicorn seemed to have lost a lot of blood. ”

"Oh my God, that's terrible. Is this prophecy true? But the centaurs' prophecy is not without mistakes, and I hope it was a mistake this time. The centaur looked up and muttered to herself.

Ryan looked at the centaur as if he was in a daze, and then exclaimed, "Oh yes, I haven't introduced myself yet." My name is Ryan, and Ryan Liang is a first-year student at Gryffindor House. I came across some silver liquid during my night trip tonight, so I chased after me out of curiosity. As a result, the unicorn was cured by chance. ”

"It's no coincidence that unicorns don't trust humans that easily. "My name is Betty, I'm from a nearby Centaur tribe, and I'm here to protect the unicorns from the dark forces from outside. Because unicorns don't trust men, I'm designated to protect them. ”

"Then why did the unicorn allow me to be treated?" asked Ryan, puzzled.

"Quite simply, on the one hand, you're still a foal. Male unicorns that have not reached puberty can barely accept it. On the other hand—" Speaking of which, Betty looked up at the sky.

"I can see in you the amount of life you are grateful for, you have saved at least thousands of innocent lives. I can even feel the natural gratitude you've earned from battling a plethora of destructive unnatural monsters, though it's a little different from the one I'm used to. My sanity tells me that none of this is likely. But I'm convinced that the secrets of the stars are true to me as they reveal you, and it's understandable that unicorns can be treated by friends of nature like you. ”

With that, Betty the centaur leaned her face closer. Glancing Ryan up and down, he continued, "I'm curious how you did it, little fellow, after all, our leader has struggled for nature all his life, and he doesn't receive as much gratitude from nature as you do, not to mention the strange plant helpers you have around you who are favored by nature." ”

"Well, I'm a bit of a struggler, so I can't tell you what exactly I've done, I can only say that what you see is true. Ryan said a little embarrassed.

"Really, I think I can trust those who are blessed by nature to rest assured that what I see will not be told to anyone, after all, everyone has their own secrets. Betty said seriously. "But I guess as a student, you shouldn't come out now, and you shouldn't be so close to the dangerous core of the Forbidden Forest, so I'll send you out now. ”

With that, Betty took out a large basket from behind the tree and put Ryan in it (rest assured, this was what I was going to use to collect the hay that I lay on the floor while I was sleeping, and it was clean. ）。 Then hang all the weapons on one side and the basket on the other.

Ryan discovers that the centaurs are indeed a race close to nature, and even if Betty is trotting, he can avoid the dense branches that block the road and walk on the ground in the woods.

"By the way, what did you say about prophecy after you heard me say that the unicorn lost a lot of blood? Of course, if it involves the secrets of you or your people, I didn't ask. Ryan sat in the basket and adjusted his posture and asked the inner question.

"Of course, this is not a secret, let me think about where to start. Well, do you know what unicorn blood is for?" asked Betty.

"I don't know," Ryan said, a little strangely when he heard the question, "we only used its horns and tail fur in Potions class, and I was a little curious, but the book I flipped through implied that using unicorn blood was an evil act. ”

"This is because attacking a unicorn to get blood is a brutal thing, and killing a unicorn by sucking it dry while sucking blood is the most powerful, but it is also the most evil act. Betty said. "Only the most cruel and wicked people would commit such a great sin, they want to escape the laws of nature and perpetuate their life that is no longer normal. ”

Speaking of this, Betty shuddered, as if something terrible had happened.

After a pause, Betty continued, "As long as you have a breath left, the blood of the unicorn can save your life." Only this will also be cursed by nature, and the blooddrinker will have a half-dead life, a cursed life. ”

"This choice between life and death is probably only made by those who are in dire need of a life extension and have an alternative, and as far as I know, the Philosopher's Stone seems to be hidden in the castle of Hogwarts, so-"

Ryan was about to finish her sentence when Betty made a quiet gesture by putting her finger to her mouth.

"We saw it, and Mars was bright again. I think you know what's going to happen, but please don't say it, because we don't want to get involved in your wizards' affairs just yet. Besides, you're still a foal, and you shouldn't worry about these things. ”

At this point, Betty walked to the path less than 20 meters from the Forbidden Forest, and she picked Ryan out of the frame and placed it on the ground.

"I don't want to meet anyone, so you can go on your own. With that, he took out a small silver ring from his quiver and threw it to Ryan. "You helped the unicorns, and I want to thank you in their place. When you have time to go to Greece, there is a temple of Charon on the island of Crete, and this ring will tell you the exact location of the temple. You come to the door with this ring, and my teacher will give you the gift you deserve. ”

With that, Betty turned around and flicked her tail in a dashing manner, walked into the jungle and left.
