As a veteran of wizards, Slughorn quickly discovers what sets Bell, Simon, and Kevin apart from other wizards. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

"Who are you?" Realizing that the other party's identity was wrong, Slughorn took two steps forward on his short legs and stood between Harry and Zhang Xu, faintly protecting Harry by his side, he was on guard against Bear Grylls and Zhang Xu at the same time.

For a split second, Slughorn thought it was a trap set by Zhang Xu.

He himself had been hiding from Voldemort for a long time before returning to Hogwarts to teach, and Harry was the one who Voldemort wanted to get rid of. Now that they were away from Hogwarts, away from the crowds, they had encountered several wizards with suspicious identities, and he couldn't help but get nervous.

Bell pulled out a roll of parchment and tossed it to Slughorn as he replied, "We are guests of Mr. Dumbledore. ”

Slughorn half-incredulously used his wand to levitate the parchment in the air and unfold it, checking that there were no curses on the parchment before he began to read it.

A curious Harry also looked over at the parchment, where he saw the familiar handwriting that the person holding the parchment was a guest invited by Dumbledore to visit the Forbidden Forest.

After repeatedly confirming that Dumbledore's signature at the end of the parchment was not a fake, Slughorn breathed a sigh of relief.

When Slughorn re-rolled the parchment, he found that Zhang Xu had already sat down in front of the campfire to study the roast leg of lamb.

Zhang Xu didn't take the dagger handed over by Bell, but used Shenfeng, Dinner Knife, and Wuying to cut a thin slice of the roasted part of the lamb leg.

Zhang Xu's hand won the applause of the three of them.

(￣▽)?? ：“umm!!!”

Zhang Xu, who finished eating the meat slices, praised it from the bottom of his heart.

When you bite into it, you can feel the tenderness of the meat with your teeth, but the moment you bite the meat off, you can feel the crispness of the fruit. In addition to the smell of mutton, the taste buds also faintly sensed a hint of sweetness from plants.

When Harry and Slughorn walked up to Zhang Xu, they saw Zhang Xu's face as if he had fallen into deep intoxication after taking drugs.

At this time, Bell handed a marching pot beside him to Slughorn and said, "Professor, Mr. Zhang said that you need this, so you can take it." ”

Slughorn took the Cauldron and opened it to find it filled with a bright red liquid, which was exactly what they were aiming for—the juice of the native sheep's fruit.

Slughorn said to Bell, "Thank you, sir. ”

Then he took out a thumb-sized crystal bottle and handed it to Bell, saying, "As a thank you, please accept this bottle of my special white fresh essence, it has a special effect on wound healing." ”

Bell thanked Slughorn and accepted the gift.

Then Slughorn pulled Harry, who was staring at the leg of lamb, eager to try it, and began to fill the juice from the marching pot into the crystal bottle that had been prepared in the morning.

When the teacher and student packed a pot of juice without a drop left, Zhang Xu handed two plates of sliced roast lamb legs in front of them.

"Let's have lunch before we move on to the next place." Zhang Xu said to the two of them.

Slughorn thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Since the other party has Dumbledore's endorsement and seems to be familiar with Zhang Xu, he can be trusted.

Several people sitting around the campfire and eating a delicious lunch reported their names under Zhang Xu's needle lead.

As a result, the famous Harry Potter aroused great curiosity among the Wilderness Imperial Family.

Next, Harry chatted with Simon and Kevin, and Slughorn found Bell sitting next to him, and Zhang took the opportunity to eat more while they chatted.

"Mr. Grylls, what do you do?" Slughorn asked, a little confused about where the other party came from.

"I'm a soldier of the Royal Airborne Service." Bell replied.

Slughorn's eyes widened as he glared at Bell, then turned his head to look at Simon and Kevin, who were chatting with Harry, and finally at Zhang Xu, who was eating hard, and he realized that the world was changing a little quickly.

"You are 'traitors'!" Slughorn shouted in surprise.

Slughorn's shouts alarmed the three of them, Harry looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what the professor meant, and Simon and Kevin looked at Slughorn with disgust.

"We didn't betray anyone." "We live in this land, we defend this land and the people who live in it, not hide and do nothing," Bell said solemnly. ”

"You have betrayed the International Secrets Act enacted by the International Confederation of Wizards." Slughorn said.

"Times have changed......," said Bell, "hiding oneself from seeing the development of the times, and what awaits wizards is the constant backwardness of self-isolation, and finally death." ”

"At that time, you may have to live under the rule of Mr. Zhang."

"Your Ministry of Magic has no way to stop them from breaking into the manor of a British wizard on British soil to capture a British wizard, even if the manor has the magical protection set up by the mysterious man himself."

"Then in the future, the Ministry of Magic will not be able to stop them from doing more."

Zhang Xu, who was picking his teeth, looked confused, not knowing why he was shot while lying down.

"We have always advocated mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence." Zhang Xu said immediately.

"However, only if the government accedes to your demands." Bell turned his head and said to Zhang Xu.

"Our demands are not excessive, and they are based on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence." Zhang Xu learned something during the Christmas holiday, so he had the confidence to say so.

"Those excessive demands were made by the French and Russians." Zhang Xu added.

"I think we're almost going to the next place." Harry, seeing that the atmosphere was starting to turn wrong, hurriedly diverted the subject.

"Harry, you and the professor wait for me in the car first, and I'll be here in a moment." Zhang Xu said to Harry.

Knowing the other party's identity, Slughorn immediately stood up and turned to leave, and Harry hesitated for a moment, saying goodbye to Bell and the others and leaving.

When the two of them left, Zhang Xu and Bell stared at each other, but no one spoke.

When Harry and the others disappeared into the depths of the woods, Bell said to Zhang Xu with his right hand, "I hope that the decisions of the officials sitting in the office will not affect the friendship between us." ”

"I'm sure nothing will happen that will affect our friendship." Zhang Xu shook hands with Bell and said.

Regardless of whether the two sides are true or false, now is not the time for the two sides to turn their faces, so in the impression of ordinary people, officials who always sit in the office and give random orders and blind commands have become the best step.

After the stairs were finished, Zhang Xu asked, "Have you ever met a centaur?" ”

"Once we met, they had a very bad attitude, but after reading the written certificate from Mr. Dumbledore, they stopped stopping us." Bell replied.

"Honestly, the horses are a bit of a glassy person, and the slightest thing they think is offensive to them makes them angry, and I always think twice before I talk to them." Zhang Xu said.

"Then let's avoid them." "That meeting almost got into trouble." ”

"Don't get too close to the centaur tribe, in fact, their life is not easy." Zhang Xu said.

"And don't go any further when you get to a place where your electronic devices are disturbed, there's a lot of defensive magic around Hogwarts right now."

After reminding them of some precautions in the Forbidden Forest, Zhang Xu also turned around and left.
