Chapter 146: Attack on Albert
Ever since Albert entered the Forbidden Forest, Tooth has been running back and forth around him, sniffing roots and leaves along the way, searching for Fred's scent.
At least, that's what Albert thought.
The rustle of leaves in the quiet Forbidden Forest made Albert's nerves tense as he was always on guard against possible danger.
Sure enough, entering the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night was definitely the most reckless thing Albert had ever done.
He stopped in a clearing and looked up at the sky, trying to find the red sparks fired by the twins.
"Perhaps, I should have brought a broomstick, which would be much faster if I traveled from the sky. Albert looked around in the light of his wand, listening intently for any sound other than the breaking of branches and the rustling of leaves.
To be honest, walking alone on the trails of the Forbidden Forest, Albert felt particularly insecure, and goosebumps were about to pop up when the wind blew at night.
I don't feel safe at all, it's a terrible feeling.
"Yaya, don't pay attention to me too far. ”
Albert stopped, called Tooth back, and then opened the quest panel to upgrade the "All Protection" skill to level 2.
Sure enough, you should first improve your self-protection ability.
At least, when you suddenly encounter danger, you won't lose your life in the first place.
As Ollivander said, wands made of redwoodwood do not bring luck to the user, but rather that the wizard who uses them already has the ability to save the day when they encounter danger.
This wand is indeed a good fit for Albert.
Tooth was not tracking quickly, and Albert followed it on the trail for about half an hour.
Albert felt tired and took out a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly to reduce the fatigue caused by nervous tension.
When thinking, Albert likes to eat something sweet, which can relieve fatigue and effectively improve the activity of the mind.
Tooth Tooth seems to want it too, but the dog can't eat chocolate, so Albert can only pet its head and promise to buy it good food when he returns.
"Let's go!" Albert regained his spirits and continued his walk deeper into the Forbidden Forest.
The deeper you go into the Forbidden Forest, the denser the trees become, and now you can barely see the night sky overhead, Albert's wand is the only glimmer in the dark forest.
Beyond the range illuminated by that glimmer of light, there is darkness and fear that you can't see your fingers.
In fact, Albert had already realized that he might be lost and had strayed from the forest path!
It should be said that it was not he who was lost, but Fred and George who were lost, and Albert, who came after them, was naturally lost.
If that's the case, the situation is a bit bad, and Albert doesn't think he can find the two in a short time.
Now, Albert's only hope is to see the red sparks rising from the Forbidden Forest.
Plans can never keep up with change!
Albert sighed softly, he knew this, so he wasn't annoyed.
In fact, long before entering the forest, he pinned most of his hopes on the professors, otherwise he would not have let Lee Jordan go back to Professor McGonagall.
At Hogwarts now, maybe the chickens and eggs are in a mess.
However, before the professors arrive, he must find the Weasley brothers or risk failing the mission.
As for regret?
Albert never regretted it, if he stayed, he would definitely not be allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest by Professor McGonagall, 2000 experience points, 2 skill points are worth his risk, even if it consumes a lot of reserve experience in the experience pool.
2 skill points, really valuable.
After level 3, upgrading skills, with the experience gained from the task, is completely unable to keep up, and using skill points to upgrade is the best way.
"Where the hell are you?" Albert muttered. He walked through the low jungle, over the fallen trees, over a stream, and his robes torn by branches and thorns along the way.
Albert felt like he had walked for a long time, the dense canopy of trees completely obscuring the moonlight in the sky.
Tooth stopped and barked in a certain direction.
Bad!
Albert felt like he was being watched by eyes hidden in the dark, and the feeling creeped him out.
He immediately ran to Fangya's side, wielding his wand and using all the protections, building a foam-shaped transparent defensive barrier around it.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded all around, and Albert could even feel the ground of the Forbidden Forest trembling slightly.
It's the centaurs, Albert couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that these creatures don't usually hurt Hogwarts students.
In a moment, two centaurs appeared on either side of Albert. When the centaur pulled his bow and aimed his arrows at him, Albert couldn't help but be a little nervous, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, this was the first time he had experienced such an experience.
It was uncomfortable, and Albert clenched his wand to make sure his defensive barrier wasn't pierced by the centaurs' arrows.
"Who are you?" A gruff voice asked.
"Albert Anderson, a student at Hogwarts. Albert kept his voice as friendly as possible.
"Pony, this is not the place for you. The centaur reminded rudely.
"I have two friends who are lost in the Forbidden Forest and I need to find them as soon as possible. Albert stated his purpose for entering the Forbidden Forest.
"Two more foals went into the woods, I remember......" The horses put away their bows and arrows and walked towards Albert, and they walked into the radiant range of their wands.
The first time Albert saw the centaur was a strange feeling, it was a man above the waist, with red hair and a beard, but below the waist was a brownish-red horse, with a long red tail dragging behind it.
"I knew I couldn't go into the woods. Albert said softly, "But I need to find them...... If you can give us a little bit of help......"
"We're not going to help humanity!" The brown-and-black centaurs roared at Albert.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that, I apologize to you if I just offended. Albert had already calmed down and said softly: "I don't know you well, and I don't want to have any unpleasant conflicts with you, I'm just here to find my friends, and when I find them, I'll leave here immediately." ”
"Okay Bane. The brown-red centaur reassured his fellow man, "He had no ill will." ”
"He came uninvited......"
"I hope we don't have any conflicts. Albert interrupted the centaurs, his voice sounding a little cold.
At the moment, Albert is considering whether or not to take down the two centaurs, but if he does, his search for the Weasley brothers may be over.
He's not Hagrid himself, and the centaurs aren't as friendly as they are legendary.
But it's not hard to deduce that Fred and George didn't meet the centaurs, otherwise Albert would have known from the centaurs.
"It should not be difficult for you to see that I am not as weak as you think. Albert stared at the centaur and said, "We don't need to have a conflict, I just want to find my friends and get out of here with them." ”
"Of course, I'll leave the decision up to you. ”
"Do you know Hagrid?" the brown-red centaur abruptly diverted the subject. It had known Hagrid's Hound Tooth from the beginning.
"Yes, I'm a friend of Hagrid's, and I was going to ask him for help, but Hagrid wasn't in his cabin tonight, so I had to bring Hagrid's hounds to find someone in the Forbidden Forest. Albert narrowed his eyes at the brown-red centaur and continued, "Hagrid once said that as long as I am with Fangya, no creature in the Forbidden Forest will harm me. ”
"Come with me, Hagrid's friend, I know what your friend is. The brown-red centaur turned and walked towards the forest.
"Ronan!" Bane was upset with his countryman's behavior.
"We never attack foals. Ronan stopped, turned and said, "I saw red sparks light up on the other side of the forest. ”
"That's right, that's right, they might be in some trouble!" Albert couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, there was a red spark, which meant that Fred and George were still alive.
"Tooth, keep up!" Albert lifted the protective barrier around him, and quickly followed the horseman's footsteps.
"I need to warn you, though, that the forest over there is dangerous. Ronan said to Albert, "Those big spiders will eat the animals that come into that forest, and I don't recommend you take the chance." ”
"Thank you, but I won't give up on my friend. Albert shook his head and refused the other party's kindness, "I will be responsible for my recklessness, if I am eaten by a spider, it will be my own death, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
"Alright!" Ronan gave Albert a deep look and nodded, "Come with me, it's still some way from here." ”
After about twenty minutes, Albert was tired of standing under a tree to rest, and even though Ronan slowed down, he still struggled to keep up with the centaurs.
"From here, it's the hunt range of those big spiders, but I still don't recommend you take the risk. ”
"Thank you, Ronan, I will remember you and the help you gave me. Albert leaned over to the centaur beside him to thank him.
"If you can bring your friends back, I will guide you out of this forest. Ronan said and turned to leave.
Albert looked at Ronan's vanishing back and turned to walk towards the forest ahead, knowing that he had to be more vigilant, this place was more dangerous than the others.
"You shouldn't help him. Bane looked at Ronan angrily.
"He's a friend of Hagrid's. Ronan looked in the direction Albert had left and said softly, "Even if we help him, he will do the same." ”
"They are not welcome here. ”
"We never attack foals. Ronan repeated
This is an ancient pact between the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest and Hogwarts.
"The foal isn't as weak as you think, and you can tell it. Ronan stood in the clearing, looked up at the stars, and muttered to himself, "He's special, yes, special." ”
Both Ronan and Bane could see that if they were going to do something to Albert, the other side would fight back.
As Albert said, he had no ill will and left the decision to the centaurs.
The latter, on the other hand, chose to live in peace.
As Ronan said, the centaurs never attack Hogwarts students.
......
On the other side, entering the range of motion of the eight-eyed giant spider, Albert had to tense his nerves to be vigilant.
Since the Centaurs arrived, Toothtooth could no longer track Fred's location by scent.
Albert was hesitant to shoot green sparks into the sky, but he was also worried that doing so would draw the eight-eyed spider to it.
Suddenly, Tooth barked at Albert's back.
"Protect them all!" Albert immediately used a spell to protect him and Fangfang. Without warning, a large spider appeared behind Albert, slamming into the protective barrier with its teeth and claws, never able to take another step.
The teeth were still barking, and Albert turned his head stiffly, staring at the monster in front of him in amazement, and his heart couldn't stop beating a few beats.
Unlike the small spiders he had seen before, the giant spider in front of him was only the size of a horse, with eight legs, and was black and hairy. Its large claws are moving, making a creepy clicking sound.
"I hate spiders. At the eight eyes, Albert couldn't help but grunt. Soon, he found that a new task had appeared on his panel.
Angry counterattack
You seem to have been attacked, and it's time to give the attackers some color to take a look at them, defeat the attacking eight-eyed spiders, and let the big stuffy ones know that you're not easy to mess with.
Reward: 1500 experience, gain skill: Spider Retreat Charm.
"This skill came at a good time. Albert grunted. He immediately opened the skill panel, increased the Phantom Disappearance Charm to level 2, then reached out and scooped up the whimpering teeth, and used the Phantom Disappearance to disappear in place.
The eight-eyed giant spider really couldn't understand why the prey in front of it suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, Albert appeared 50 feet away, he forced the discomfort of the apparition appearing, waved his wand and shouted, "Pass out!"
The red flame hit the large spider.
The Stun Charm didn't do much to it, only to infuriate the Eight-Eyed Spider even more.
"Faint! Obstacles! Faint!"
The Eight-Eyed Spider had already swooped down in this direction, and the Stun and Obstacle Charms had done their job, slowing it down.
"Take care of them all. Albert used the protective barrier again, enveloping himself in.
The eight-eyed spider slammed headfirst into the protective barrier, causing it to deflate again.
Albert could feel the fury of the eight-eyed spider in his eight black eyes, and the sharp pincers clicked and moved, as if to say to him that I am going to eat you.
The spell didn't do much to it, was my magic too weak, or was the spider too big, or was it too strong?
If you upgrade the spell to level 2, it might work better, but ...... Albert glanced at the pool of experience, and he was sure to learn the Spider Retreat Charm later.
It's best to get rid of it without upgrading.
What is the weakness of spiders?
Basilisk?
And also......
Leg?
After all, it has eight legs.
Stumbling Spell...... Leg Lock ...... Soft Leg Curse...... And the dancing spell......
Hope these spells work.
Albert was once again apparitioned, admitting that the magic was extremely useful, but the discomfort of apparition was terrible.
The eight-eyed giant spider immediately looked around after noticing that its prey had disappeared again, but Albert's voice had already sounded.
Tarangtella Dance!
The Dancing Charm hits the Eight-Eyed Spider's foot, causing it to tap dance.
The spell undoubtedly had a remarkable effect.
The spider apparently doesn't tap dance, so it now looks like it has cramps on both legs and is shaking uncontrollably.
