Chapter 62: 1 to 1.5 to 7.5

When the yellow bag was shot at Aragog, he stopped in a panic and slammed his giant chelicerae to the side.

The bag fell to the ground, and the yellow powder spilled out.

His keen sense of smell became a curse at this point, and the pungent smell sent chills through his heart.

"Beautiful!"

Gawain applauded.

His praise came from the heart.

Aragog was almost big enough for a minibus, but he was able to make a sharp turn when charging. Such maneuverability is comparable to that of the AMX56 "Leclerc".

But Aragog was not happy at all.

Because in the mid-air above Gawain's head, twenty or thirty of these small bags had already floated.

The strange, pungent smell terrified the spiders.

He looked at Gawain and didn't dare to move.

Gawain played with his wand and ignored him.

"What do you want...?"

After a moment, Aragog was the first to bow his head.

"First of all, can you please have some Venom?

Hagrid, excuse me. ”

Gawain took out the test tube packet he had used to hold the Hell Potion and handed it to Hagrid for him to help.

Hagrid's physique has an extraordinary resistance to the venom of spiders, or most of them, which Gawain cannot match in any way.

"Aragog, bear with me, as long as you don't move, Gawain won't hurt you. ”

Hagrid whispered to an irritable Aragog as he filled the venom. But he was almost clutching the chelica and squeezing, making it tremble with pain.

It wasn't until he could squeeze out another drop of venom that Hagrid stopped.

"Enough, human!"

Aragog stood up unwillingly.

"I swear that you and your descendants will never expand the area east of the forest, and never attack any humans or centaurs. ”

Gawain's wand arced, and four or five bags shook, causing Aragog to fall down obediently.

This requirement is obviously harder than Venom.

Aragog's chelica teeth opened and closed, and eight white eyes stared at Gawain.

"We swear to Hagrid that we will not expand our territory again, and we will not attack humans and centaurs. ”

After a long silence, it said in discouragement.

"Alright, Gawain, Aragog has agreed, it will be obedient, let's go back quickly. ”

Hagrid said happily. He slapped himself on the chest as if he were playing a drum.

Naturally, Gawain would not fail to hear the resentment in Aragog's words, and he also knew what calculations he wanted to fight.

These magical creatures are always arrogant and ridiculous.

It's stupid and outrageous, but I always think I'm much smarter than humans.

"Hagrid, let's go back. ”

He said to Hagrid, threatening Aragog at the same time, to go to the surface with them.

In the deep and narrow passage, the two of them walked quietly, and the wind in the cave carried a faint smell of rotten eggs, which made people feel irritated.

But as soon as a spider dared to move a little, Gawain would fly out of a small bag or two, and scatter the yellow-black powder inside with "Wadi Vasi".

By the time Gawain had climbed the slope to the ground first, he had already thrown out at least a few dozen, and the largest had been thrown under the passage near the entrance of the cave.

"Alright, Gawain, let's go back to the castle. ”

Hagrid shook the cobwebs on his body vigorously and wanted to wave goodbye to Aragog behind him, but Aragog disappeared at some point.

Eight-eyed giant spider.

There are many scalp-numbing eight-eyed giant spiders.

From the branches, from the shadows, and even from the dirt, they came out one after another, baring their teeth and claws.

"I promised not to hurt Hagrid, but my kids didn't. As for you, wizard, you can stand there and wait for it to end.

We won't hurt you until Hagrid dies. ”

In a muffled voice, Aragog said that he had hidden himself and was no longer afraid of realgar.

It was very windy in the forest.

Something that makes a spider uncomfortable can't work.

"Aragog!

You're just kidding, right?!

You won't be like that. ”

Hagrid shouted into the cave, but the eight-eyed spider didn't answer him, instead making a noise, urging the descendants to surround Gawain and Hagrid.

"Hagrid, you're not afraid of heights, are you? ”

Gawain asked suddenly, took out a large blanket from his dragonskin pocket, and threw it on the ground.

"What? Of course not!"

Hagrid stood on the blanket incredulously.

"That's good. ”

"Arresto Momentum, Wingardium Leviosa. ”

Gawain pointed his wand at the blanket, causing it to float violently with Hagrid. Because of the resistance of magic, he didn't dare to use the spell directly at Hagrid.

Then he quickly reinstated himself with a slowing spell and lifted himself off the ground, avoiding the swooping spider chelices.

"Protego!"

Gawain put an iron armor spell on himself and the blanket.

Then a beam of fire bolts flew towards the lair.

"Boom!"

A large burst of fire burst into flames.

The ground trembled violently and continuously, as if it had been shaken, and billowing black smoke poured out.

It's not that Gawain is already so powerful, it's that the things in his little pockets include more than just realgar.

Realgar can only be used to terrify spiders, but it can't really hurt them.

There is also sulfur, charcoal and nitrate.

Gawain sprinkled the powder seemingly arbitrarily, but in fact he always chose a dry and flat environment to prevent them from getting wet.

Thanks to the help of Hogsmeade's Jokowi shop, Gawain was able to get enough saltpeter, and there was no shortage of brimstone in Professor Snape's office.

As for charcoal?

A lot of people at Gryffindor feel like it's cold...

As long as he mixes them according to the golden ratio of 1:1.5 to 7.5, he gets the most classic black powder in history.

Gawain still remembers that in his elementary school nature class, he learned that for every 4 grams of black powder burned, it could produce 280 liters of gas, and the volume expanded nearly 10,000 times.

In a limited space like this.

All it takes is one Martian black powder to ignite.

The gas rapidly expanded and exploded when heated, scattering in dozens of places, causing a chain reaction that was even more terrifying.

Not to mention the fact that there are likely to be flammable components in the air of the already mixed gases, which will exacerbate the equivalent of this large firework.

All Gawain needed to do was make sure he was safe and set fire to a small spark.

Just like it is now.

The violent shaking and the shocking explosion not only caused the remaining spiders to flee in a hurry, but also made Hagrid stunned in mid-air, almost letting go and falling.

"Raging Gorgon!"

Hagrid blurted out expletives.

Gawain crashed into Hagrid the moment the fire bolt was fired, and used his spell to quickly lead him backwards.

And as he expected.

A surging wave of qi swept out, and the aftermath crashed against Gawain's Iron Armor Spell, but it was only a final futile struggle, and it didn't hurt them at all.

What was originally a "hole" is now a large "gap", and the ground is pitted.

As for spiders?

Without Aragog, and without the warm, humid environment that suits them to live, they will disappear into the Forbidden Forest for a month at most.

Thereupon...

Gawain, who rubbed a super fireball (chemistry), snapped his fingers and decided never to use this trick again.
