Chapter 487: Another Failure

Hagrid and Fangya had always been frequent visitors to the Forbidden Forest, and they were familiar with the forest in front of them, and they walked for about ten minutes before they found the place where the unicorn's blood was found.

"It's solidified. ”

Albert picked up a twig, poked at the congealed blood stall on the ground, and said to Hagrid, "It shouldn't be here, what we need to look for should be fresh blood." ”

Hagrid was a little confused, not understanding what this meant, but he nodded anyway, and it was right to bring Albert over himself.

"Hagrid, is this far from the nest of the eight-eyed spiders?" Albert asked, cautiously.

After all, he did have a grudge against those eight-eyed spiders, and he wasn't the lucky one like Potter, so it was better to be careful so as not to be attacked inexplicably.

"Rest assured, with me here, you are safe. Hagrid patted his chest and reassured, "And the eight-eyed spider rarely comes out to hunt during the day. ”

"Hagrid, you seem to trust that those big spiders won't hurt you?" Albert said to Hagrid, looking at the teeth that sniffed around.

"I believe in Aragog. Hagrid said.

"Aragog, is that eight-eyed spider you raised?" Albert asked suddenly, "how old is it?"

"How old?" Hagrid paused, looked at Albert, who was checking for blood, and replied, "It's almost fifty years old!"

"How long does an eight-eyed spider live?" Albert asked again.

"This ...... I don't know. Hagrid shook his head, although he had raised eight-eyed giant spiders, his knowledge of them was limited.

"Fifty years, that eight-eyed giant spider's lifespan should be almost at its limit. Albert stopped and looked around, and he saw that the two had lost blood.

It's really hard to find during the day.

"Maybe you should wait until the evening to come, it will be easier. Albert grunted.

"You think Aragog is dying?" Hagrid heard Albert's words, and his mind was suddenly on the unicorn.

"Fifty years is a long time for a spider. Albert looked at the lost Hagrid, raised his foot and kicked the opponent's leather boot and reminded, "But don't worry, Aragog should have a few more years to live." ”

"You don't understand the feeling, starting with an egg that hatches and slowly pulls it up. Hagrid said in frustration, Albert's words made him realize that Alagog was indeed very old.

"Hagrid, I know you love those dangerous creatures, but I have to remind you again that this is the Forbidden Forest, and you should cheer up. Albert reminded.

"I know this is the Forbidden Forest, and I've been here countless times since I was a hunting ground warden. To be honest, there are no dangerous creatures on the periphery of the Forbidden Forest at all. As if to vent his inner dissatisfaction, Hagrid said to himself, "Don't talk about werewolves, not even forest trolls." The principal forbade the students from entering the Forbidden Forest, but in fact it was more for fear that they would get lost in the Forbidden Forest. ”

"Are you sure?" Albert twitched the corners of his mouth as he raised his wand and pointed in a certain direction, he could feel something there.

"That's Thestrals. Hagrid hurriedly stopped Albert from using magic, "There are a bunch of Thestrals in the Forbidden Forest, and they are responsible for pulling the carriage that the students take to the school, you should know what Thestrals are, right?"

"Well, it's a Thestrals, which only those who have seen death. Albert lowered his wand, but didn't completely let his guard down.

"yes, that's it, Thestrals just doesn't have a good reputation. Hagrid smiled and asked, "Would you like to try riding?"

"Is that okay?"

"Absolutely!"

Hagrid gave Albert a taste of what it was like to ride a Thestrals.

Night riders' backs are soft and smooth, so they don't feel uncomfortable to sit on, and they're gentler than expected.

"What do they eat?"

"Blood and raw meat. Hagrid scratched his head, not understanding what Albert was asking for.

"Perhaps, we can really get them to help find the unicorn, I don't think there are many injured animals in the forest!" Albert made his point to Hagrid after disembarking from Thestrals.

"This ...... Thestrals, as smart as she is, don't know if this method works. Hagrid thought about it for a moment, but decided that this method could be tried.

Thestrals, after all, is not human, and cannot communicate well, even if Hagrid tried, but ultimately failed.

Albert was not surprised, and he was not surprised, and he asked Hagrid to try it with the idea that he would not lose money.

The two had no choice but to continue to look for the unicorn.

"I've heard that after a unicorn dies, its blood becomes a highly toxic substance, is it true?" Albert asked, asking

"I don't know. Hagrid shook his head, he really didn't know, "Very few wizards would go out and kill such a pure life with cruelty. ”

"That's because the stakes aren't big enough, and if a unicorn is worth a thousand Galleons, or more, believe it or not, the unicorn will soon become endangered. Albert couldn't help laughing at himself: "Don't forget, there are a lot of dragon liver, dragon blood, dragon skin, dragon meat, and dragon claws on the market...... These are all legal transactions. ”

"Perhaps, you're right. ”

Hagrid felt that Albert's words were very reasonable, and there were indeed no unicorn internal organs for sale on the market, but more unicorn tail hair and unicorns, and the price was very expensive.

The unicorn's unicorn is cut and can grow back.

Otherwise, every unicorn has to kill a unicorn, and these creatures should have been extinct long ago.

After walking in the Forbidden Forest for more than an hour, the two of them and the dog still found nothing, and their teeth no longer had their original vitality, and they were panting with their tongues drooping.

During this time, Albert also tried many methods, but to no avail, maybe the unicorn was not dead, maybe the unicorn's fur directly resisted the call of the flying charm.

Many magical creatures with great magical powers can do this.

"I really don't know how big Dumbledore was to let Potter come into the Forbidden Forest to find a unicorn. Albert was heartbroken, and continued to follow Hagrid along the trail of blood.

They have already begun to penetrate deep into the Forbidden Forest.

"It's close, the blood hasn't completely coagulated yet!" Hagrid rubbed the blood on the tip of the finger, as if he wanted to put it in his mouth and taste it, but seemed to think of something, and gave up.

As we went deeper and deeper into the forest, the trees became extremely dense and the beast scripture could not be passed, but the blood stains around it became more and more obvious.

Eventually, they were able to find it, and a unicorn lay in a pool of silver blood.

"It's dead, and it should have been for a while. Albert looked at the poignant unicorn in front of him and sighed softly.

Hagrid stepped forward quickly, inspecting the unicorn's wounds, not scratches or bites, but something through the abdomen.

"It's magic, maybe you're right, there's a dark wizard hunting unicorns. Hagrid's face was ugly.

"Should there be anyone else around?" Albert explained, "I mean, did the Dark Wizard succeed?"

"Probably not, I didn't notice any traces of anyone else around. Hagrid shook his head.

"What are you going to do now?" Albert asked again, "Is it just buried?" or have Dumbledore come over and check on what the dark magic was that killed the unicorn. ”

"Bury it!" Hagrid said, clenching his fists.

"Well, Hagrid?"

"What's the matter?"

Hagrid asked suspiciously, seeing the pit Albert had made with his magic.

"Can I take the horn?" Albert gestured to the horn on the unicorn's head.

Most of the unicorn horns on the market are processed, just like dragon claws, which are basically ground into powder and sold in bottles.

"What do you want this for?"

"The horn of a unicorn has a strong detoxifying effect, and it is basically impossible to buy this complete unicorn on the market. Albert casually found a reason, he can't say that this is his mission reward!

"Alright, take it if you want!" Hagrid didn't refuse.

After all, the unicorn is dead.

"Thank you. ”

Using a cutting charm, Albert carefully cut off the unicorn's horn and placed it in his transformer lizard skin pouch.

"I should thank you. ”

After burying the unicorn, the two set out on their return journey.

Much faster than he had come, Hagrid went back to the hut first, packed up his crossbow and arrows, and went to the Headmaster's office alone to report the incident to Dumbledore.
