Chapter 161: Welfare Devil, Not Voldemort
The temperature around was very low, and the coolness drilled into everyone's robes like a snake. As far as the eye could see, they were all foggy ten meters away. The Forbidden Forest seems to be a little more eerie than expected.
Along the way, Malfoy constantly resisted and continued to move forward, and Li You had already been searched for by him. This time he said, "There's a forbidden area ahead, Dumbledore said students can't go in, there's ...... There are werewolves! ”
"It's not just werewolves in the Forbidden Forest." Li Quan said lightly and continued walking.
His words made Malfoy's face even pale.
"Okay, everyone keep up, don't be left behind." Hagrid was at the front, following the trail on the road, and Hogwarts was the one he knew best about the roads in the Forbidden Forest.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Malfoy all followed Li Quan's side closely. They all looked scared. The only oil lamp Hagrid was carrying didn't do much to illuminate the vast forest. However, no one here uses the Illumination Charm.
In addition to the six of them, the team was followed by a big black dog, Toothy.
Li Quan found that Yaya was particularly fond of sticking to him, and it circled around him excitedly all the way, and from time to time it would come over to sniff it, as if it was looking for something.
"Tooth likes you." Hagrid smiled and said, "Since the last time I hit Willow, Yaya has lost my appetite. I brought it out to let it go. But for now, my worries are unfounded. ”
The night concealed the embarrassment on Li Quan's face. No one knows the cause of his loss of appetite better than him.
After a moment, Hagrid in front of him suddenly stopped. By a bush by the side of the road, he spotted a pool of mercury-like sticky liquid on the grass. When everyone came to take a look, they found that the liquid on the ground was like a silver mirror, reflecting crystal light.
"Hagrid, what is this?" Harry asked curiously.
"That's what we're here for. See? It's the blood of a unicorn. Hagrid pulled it up with a little viscous liquid in his hand and said to the group.
Harry was taken aback, they didn't expect unicorn blood to look like this.
Li Quan also squatted down, curiously looking at these unicorn blood like mercury, and suddenly the prompt voice of the system sounded in his mind: "This substance has been scanned to contain life energy that is beneficial to the growth of the forest, please get some samples and submit them." Reward 200 contribution points. ”
After Li Quan was slightly stunned, he also learned that Hagrid had stained some blood on his hands and made a research statement, which had actually submitted the sample to the system. The system prompts: "Get Unicorn Blood and reward 200 contribution points." ”
Mosquito legs are also meat. 200 points is not much, but it is a windfall.
Hagrid then explained: "I found a body a few weeks ago. Now this is the second one. The unicorn was apparently badly injured. With that, he looked at the gloomy woods around him, and there was no clue in the woods except silence and darkness. So, our task now is to find this poor unicorn. He said again.
"The Forbidden Forest is huge, and we are looking for a needle in a haystack." Li Quan said.
"So we'd better split up." Hagrid said, "Professor Lee, please take Harry and Malfoy, and then bring your teeth, you guys." Yaya is a good tracker. ”
Li Quan nodded.
Hagrid turned to the others, "Ron, Hermione, come with me." Oh, by the way......" He thought of something again, and turned to remind Li Quan: "I forgot to tell you that Yaya is a coward." ”
……
Malfoy carried the oil lamp, and he shone it all the way, and there was a hint of tremor in his tongue as he kept complaining. "If my dad hears about what is happening here, you will be miserable, these are obviously the work of servants!" He said.
Harry quipped, "If I'm not mistaken, you're obviously scared. ”
"I'm not afraid! Porter. Malfoy stiffened his neck and defended himself. He was about to speak again, but suddenly stopped, hurriedly grabbed Li Quan and asked, "Professor, did you hear that?" There is a sound! ”
Li Quan and Harry glanced at each other helplessly, this was the fifth time.
As they descended deeper into the Forbidden Forest, the terrain became more difficult to walk, and the fog around them seemed to thicken.
Not far ahead, Tooth seemed to smell something, and it stopped, refusing to move on.
"What's wrong, Yaya?" Harry asked, confused.
Li Quan suddenly whispered, "Be careful, Harry. Following the direction of his finger, Harry saw a faint figure in the fog not far away, which seemed to be lying on the ground.
At that moment, Harry suddenly felt a burning pain in the scar on his forehead. He couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hand in pain, and looked at the figure in surprise. Malfoy stared at the figure with wide eyes.
The fog suddenly lifted, and everyone saw the figure clearly, it was a black-robed man. At this moment, this black-robed man was actually lying on the body of a fallen animal, which was a unicorn!
Suddenly, the black-robed man looked up and spotted them.
Malfoy immediately screamed, but before he could run, the big dog ran away with his tail between his legs. Malfoy, of course, was not to be outdone, leaving Li Quan and Harry behind and screaming all the way back the way he came.
The black-robed man swam in a zigzag line like a snake smelling fish, towards Li Quan and Harry. Li Quan had already grasped his wand, his breathing was steady, and his face did not change in the slightest. He knew that this was Quirrell and Voldemort.
Beside him, Harry's breathing grew more and more rapid, and he looked scared.
Harry suddenly felt a pair of warm hands pressing on his shoulders, and he heard Li Quan's voice beside him and said to him, "Don't be nervous, Harry, I'm here." ”
Harry nodded, feeling a little more at ease.
Li Quan raised his wand and aimed it at the black-robed man.
The black-robed man immediately stood still and stopped advancing. He seemed to be quite jealous of Li Quan.
The two sides confronted each other.
Li Quan was hesitating in his heart, whether to kill Voldemort here? This is a good opportunity, throughout the seven years of Harry Potter, Voldemort was the weakest at this time. He was pretty sure he could kill Voldemort here.
But after much hesitation, he decided to give up on the tempting idea.
After all, even if he killed Voldemort, it wouldn't do him any good. On the contrary, letting Voldemort go allows the plot to continue on the right track, and in the future, he can continue to play to the advantages of the traverser and have the opportunity to get some benefits from Voldemort.
For example, the Philosopher's Stone, or Tom Riddle's diary in the second episode, which contains a lot of practical spells, or the Horcruxes that appeared six years later, etc.
Rather than saying that Voldemort was a wizard, Li Quan felt that Voldemort was more like a warlock in Warcraft, studying forbidden content such as dark magic and souls. The difference is that the Warlock in Warcraft deals with demons and is in a more dangerous situation, while Voldemort's pet is just a large snake.
In short, there may be a lot of similarities between the two.
So, it's better to let Voldemort go.
Li Quan's wand suddenly lit up with a dazzling green light, only to hear him say coldly: "Avada Suo!" ”
Quirrell, who was under the black robe, was startled when he heard this, how dare he take this trick head-on, and he was immediately frightened and fled. I saw that between the drumming of the black robe, he jumped up a tree like a big black bird, and then disappeared into the mist after a few ups and downs.
Li Quan smiled slightly when he saw it, how could he do this, it was purely bluffing.
Harry didn't know the name of Avada's Curse, he just felt that Li Quan was too powerful to drive the enemy away without a move. Harry couldn't help but admire Li Quan a little more.
But I heard Li Quan say to the dark forest next to him: "Come out, horse man." ”
Harry was slightly stunned before he saw a strange man slowly emerge from the dark forest. This man had the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a man! Harry's eyes widened immediately, and his heart, which had just calmed down, rose again.
Li Quan watched this centaur come out and felt very familiar, like Cenarius, the lower body was a four-hoofed walking animal (Cenarius was a deer body), but the upper body was a human form. He knew it was the centaurs of the Harry Potter world. And the point is, the centaur is not clothed.
The unclothed centaur was surprised that Li Quan had found him and revealed his identity. He didn't know that Li Quan could sense any movement of the plants around him. What's more, Li Quan knows the plot.
The centaur stood in front of them, and he looked at Li Quan and Harry for a moment, and said, "You must get out of here." Harry Potter, many animals here know you, and the forest is not very safe at this time, and it is especially dangerous for you to come here. Then he turned to Li Quan and said, "I heard that there is an oriental wizard in the castle, is it you?" ”
Li Quan nodded: "That's right." ”
The centaur groaned for a moment and said, "It's good that Harry Potter has you to protect him." However, it's time for you to go, not every centaur is willing to talk to humans like I do. ”
"What was it that was going to attack us just now?" Harry asked hurriedly.
"A monster." The centaur replied, "Killing a unicorn is a heinous crime. Drinking the blood of a unicorn can save a life, even a dying person can be saved. But there must be a terrible price. For you kill the purest of beings, and from the moment its blood touches your lips, you become half-dead, with a cursed life. ”
Harry asked, with confusion on his face, "Who would want a life like this?" ”
When the centaur heard this, he leaned closer and stared at Harry. "Can't you think of who it is?"
Harry froze. "What do you mean...... The monster that killed the unicorn and drank its blood is ...... Voldemort? He seemed to be startled by his guess, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Li Quan, wanting to get confirmation from Li Quan.
Li Quan nodded at him, confirming his conjecture.
Harry was stunned.
The centaur approached Harry and said mysteriously, "Do you know what secret you are hiding in the castle at this moment?" ”
Harry was very smart, and after a little thought, it dawned on him: "It's the Philosopher's Stone!" Voldemort wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone! ”
At this time, Hagrid finally arrived in a hurry with the others, and followed Malfoy, who had just fled, behind them.
Seeing the centaur appear, Hagrid let out an "oh" and said, "Hello, Ferencze." Looks like you've already met Porter Jr. He looked at Li Quan, "Are you all alright, Professor Li?" ”
Li Quan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, we're fine." ”
Ferenze didn't say much to Hagrid, but said to Harry, "Harry Potter, let's say goodbye here." You're safe now. Then he looked at Li Quan and said, "Good luck to you." ”
Everyone watched as the centaur faded into the darkness of the trees.
Looking at the messy scene around them, everyone looked at each other. The unicorn they were looking for was confirmed dead, and the mission was complete. Although there was a small accident, fortunately, no one was injured. Harry thought it was thanks to the presence of Lee Quan that he was able to scare Voldemort away.
On the way back, Hermione said incredulously, "You mean, the 'mystery man' was there just now?" In this forest? ”
Harry nodded and said, "He's weak and can only survive on unicorn blood." Don't you understand? We guessed wrong. Snape didn't want to take the Philosopher's Stone for himself, he wanted to steal it and give it to Voldemort! ”
Li Quan smiled wryly as he listened, but he didn't stop Harry from talking.
Harry continued: "With the elixir, Voldemort can regain his strength. He will come back again for revenge. ”
"Volt ...... If he comes back, he won't be trying to kill you, right? Ron said worriedly, he didn't dare to pronounce the taboo name like Harry did.
Li Quan said at this time: "Obviously, if Voldemort catches the opportunity, he will not hesitate to kill Harry tonight." So, Harry, you have to be extra careful going forward. Perhaps it wasn't until much later that people would believe that Voldemort had really returned. But before that, you have to be clearer than everybody's mind, to know what you're up against. ”
"But, Professor, if Voldemort really wanted to kill Harry, we can't fight him......" Hermione worried.
Li Quan smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry, if Voldemort really comes, but if it's in school, Dumbledore won't sit idly by." Of course, you yourself have to work hard to improve your personal strength. He looked at Harry, "One day, you're going to face Voldemort, it's your destiny, Harry." Do you understand what I'm saying? ”
Harry nodded earnestly. "I understand, Professor. Thank you! Harry cherished the fact that someone cared so much about him at the moment.
Li Quan smiled: "Okay, it's not too early, let's all hurry back to the castle." He glanced meaningfully at Malfoy, who had been unusually silent on his way back, not knowing what was going on in his head. Malfoy's father was one of the Death Eaters, and when Voldemort returned, the Malfoys immediately sided with Voldemort. This kid in front of him almost killed Dumbledore in the future. Do you want to find a chance to kill him? Malfoy's death shouldn't interfere with the plot.
Li Quan unconsciously had murderous intentions again......
