Chapter Eighty-Six: The Battle of the Centaurs
The centaurs are a strange tribe, stranger than the merfolk.
The upper part of their body is humanoid, and the lower part is like that of a horse. However, they are not half-human, half-beasts crossbred to do so, they are born as they are.
Centaurs have the same intelligence as humans, but they don't like magic and prefer to be close to nature.
Therefore, they never wore clothes, and the tools they used were still weapons such as bows and arrows, swords, and spears.
When they are not idle, horses gather in groups of three or five to concentrate their full attention on interpreting natural phenomena.
Like what...... Look at the stars.
But the Centaurs like to beat around the bush and get no straightforward answers from them. The way they speak is always very oo tonight.
The moon is indeed bright tonight, and there are only a few stars in the sky at this time.
William: They could guess with their toes which one Ferenze was trying to say.
"If you see it, you shouldn't be in the Forbidden Forest."
Ferencze had a good temper, and instead of getting angry, he looked worriedly at the bloodstains on the ground.
"Hagrid brought you here?"
"No, we're just here to pick psychedelic mushrooms." William explained.
"You young wizards shouldn't have come to the Forbidden Forest at night without Hagrid's protection." Ferencze said angrily, "Now, hurry back to the castle!" ”
"We'll go back right away," Fred said perfunctorily, "By the way, there's a unicorn injured, do you see anything?" ”
Ferenze didn't answer right away. He stared upwards without blinking, then sighed, "It's always the innocent who suffer first. ”
"It's been this way for hundreds of years, and it's still happen."
"That's right," Cedric said, "so we want to help the unicorn." ”
"But Mars is bright tonight." Ferencze finally got the nonsense out of the way.
Clever soothsayers are like this, they always like to say ambiguous things that make you scratch your head.
William shrugged his shoulders and sighed: "Yes, due to the small size, large orbital eccentricity, etc., the apparent magnitude of Mars varies greatly, so the brightness is uncertain, but on the whole, it still shows periodic changes. “
"Seriously, Ferenze, if you want, I can spend a semester explaining basic physics and gravity.
By the way, teach you the world through Muggle eyes. ”
William didn't believe in so-called astrology.
Nicol's prophecy is understandable, after all, magic does not belong to the four basic forces, it can show some peculiarities.
But how can your astrology predict the future?
Mars is brighter, not because it is closer to the earth, but because it is guided by fate?
If William believed in astrology, he felt that it was an insult to the education he had received in his previous life.
Ferencze shook his head and retorted, "Muggle observation is truly unique.
But can they reveal why the universe exists?
Can they answer why you call 'gravity'?
Can they explain why all things come from? ”
"Can you answer that?" William raised an eyebrow.
"I can't either," Ferenze said calmly, "Humans observe all kinds of phenomena and get all kinds of knowledge, but we centaurs are also observing the world and then get all kinds of knowledge.
In essence, there is no difference between everyone. ”
"Well, we're not going to argue with you about these academic issues." William said seriously: "Ferenze, have you seen that unicorn?"
Let's bring it back now and let Madam Pomfrey heal, she's not a veterinarian, but she's better than your tribe. ”
"My people are still searching, and tonight a strange thing broke into the Forbidden Forest." Ferenze finally said something useful.
William and the others quietly listened to Ferenze explain what was strange, but he didn't say anything in the end, just shook his head slightly:
"Hurry up and get out, I think your psychedelic mushrooms have been picked by Snape."
"I've seen him sneaky at the end of this path."
“……”
Fred's nose was crooked in anger, and he said angrily: "We stole so much dragon dung from Professor Sprout to fertilize the psychedelic mushroom, why is Snape so shameless to teach him!" ”
Picking peaches at a critical moment, Professor Snape's evaluation in the minds of several people was lowered by a few points.
What else did William want to say,
At this moment, a sky-high flame suddenly came from the distance.
"It's my people!" Ferencze lifted all four legs and rushed straight over.
William, they also ran towards the place where the fire was lit.
By the time they arrived, there was a mess all around, with countless trees broken.
There were hundreds of centaurs, all with short spears in their hands and great bows on their backs.
Not far from the centaurs, there was a wizard who stood in front of a huge lake, wearing a thick hood and a face that could not be seen clearly.
The clothes were soaked in silver blood, contrasting with the original black robe, layered on top of each other, like an ink landscape painting.
The wizard held a unicorn in his hand, bit it on the unicorn's neck, and sucked blood with impunity.
The unicorn struggled twice and died.
After the wizard had eaten a lot, he threw the unicorn on the ground, wiped the blood all over his face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ah, comfortable, this blood full of magic makes me feel comfortable. ”
Then he pointed to the dead body on the ground, "I killed it, whoever wants to kill me, come!"
You've been tracking me for so long, I don't think I'm getting impatient, right? ”
No one spoke.
The blood-clad wizard seemed to grin, and then said, "Don't worry, I don't have the ability to kill all the centaurs for the time being, and my strength has only recovered somewhat."
However, I feel that I should teach you woolly beasts some lessons, so that you will not dare to hinder me from eating.
How about killing half of them? ”
"What do you call us?!" A wild-looking black horseman shouted.
The surrounding centaurs let out a low roar, and the wizard's words angered them.
Standing at the front, a black centaur suddenly drew his bow like a full moon, and the bowstring burst with a loud thud, and he fired an arrow at the wizard.
The other two burly men and horses with big bows did the same, and they didn't need to deliberately brew their heads, they both pulled out their arrows, pulled out the big bows, and shot an arrow in one go.
Three sharp arrows burst through the air, and the arrows all stabbed precisely at the wizard's face.
Centaurs may not be as good at crafting weapons as elfs, but they have their own unique characteristics.
Each arrow feather is carved with ancient spells, enough to easily break spells such as armor protection.
But the wizard didn't move, and the three feathered arrows hovered quietly in the air, maintaining a diagonal stabbing posture.
The wizard raised his head slightly, and a scorching black fire ignited on the three arrow feathers, and in an instant, he shot out with a backhand at a faster speed.
