Chapter 155: The Forbidden Forest
Either don't do it or never do it.
Pei Chen was originally going to kill a unicorn and contribute to his herbarium of biological specimens, but when he really wanted to start, a creepy feeling stopped him.
Unicorn blood can inflict a curse on those who hurt them, the kind of curse that acts on the soul, and the effect of the curse is 'live painfully, but not die', very tricky, difficult to remove, and disgusting. Unless it is some desperate and ruthless person, they will try to hang themselves with the effect of this curse, but for Pei Chen, it is really not worth it to put himself in for the sake of a unicorn's exploration progress.
So he had to settle for the next best thing, and after obtaining some of the precious materials from the two unicorns, such as manes and blood, he rushed them over to use as teaching materials for the time being.
Anyway, as far as the whole process is concerned, he found them when he was looking for werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, and then drove them out after a fat beating, and the unprofitable business is not a loss.
"Everyone has seen that the unicorn is shaped like a white horse, and there is hardly much difference except for the spiral-shaped unicorn on its head." Pei Chen talked eloquently, and said the knowledge of the books he saw temporarily as the content of the lecture, but made a small number of changes. Of course, because of his vast ability to capture two living biological specimens, most students would not find out that their professor was a half-person.
"Their horns stick out of the middle of their foreheads, about a foot and a half long, which is the standard for adult unicorns, of course. You should know that the unicorn's horn can be ground into powder to make an antidote, not a targeted antidote, but an antidote that can be removed from almost any poison. This makes the unicorn worth much more than the dragon and close to the phoenix. In case you don't know, in the old days, wizards used to use a whole horn of a unicorn to make wine glasses, so they didn't have to worry about poisoning the wine...... Of course, that's why they've been on the verge of extinction for the past 50 years. ”
Speaking of this, Pei Chen couldn't help but think differently, because it is said that the tears of the phoenix have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, and they all belong to the top magic materials in this scene. It's just that because the number of phoenixes is so rare, most people have never seen them once in their lives.
But Dumbledore's old man raised a phoenix, if he wanted to maximize his interests, he might as well ask him for it, and see if he could get the phoenix's tears?
Of course, if you really want to say that the tears of the phoenix have the miraculous effect of resurrecting the dead, Pei Chen doesn't believe it, he only thinks that maybe it's just that the healing effect of this kind of thing is too powerful, and it may give people such an illusion. At least in the classics he consulted, he found the so-called 'Phoenix Tears Resurrection of the Dead' examples, without exception, all of them were to revive the dying, but he had never heard of an example of a person who had already died being brought back to life.
"Professor, is this the only kind of unicorn?" A student raised his hand to ask a question.
Pei Chen shook his head: "Of course not, just like there are as many as ten kinds of fire dragons, unicorns are just a big category." But you can say that, because in the whole of the UK, you can basically only see the one unicorn in front of you. ”
He hesitated for a moment and said, "And besides this kind of unicorn, there are other kinds, but ...... It's not as gentle as this one's character. For example, in Arabia, where the legend of the unicorn originated, the unicorn was so violent that it would bite people and animals, and even adult shamans had their lives at the behest of them, as were the case in India and North Africa. ”
This is not to be alarmist, magical creatures, especially those at the very top, such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, have surprisingly high magical resistance, and many wizards are not strong enough to break their defenses. And their own attack power is not low, so it is really not a problem to kill a few ordinary wizards.
"Very good, any more questions? If not, we're going to move on to the next step. Pei Chen calculated the time slightly, but was disappointed to find that it had only been more than ten minutes and less than twenty minutes, and it was still far from the end of class!
it! When I was a student, I always felt that the class time was long and boundless, which was normal, but why do I still feel like this now that I am a teacher?! This is not normal at all, and it is not scientific......
"Professor, I have a problem!" A crisp voice sounded, Pei Chen followed the sound, his eyes moved slightly.
"Say it!"
"Professor, what's your name? What nationality is it? ”
In an instant, a brief silence came, and it was obvious that most of the students wanted to know about this question, but they didn't ask directly.
"Nationality, just like you think, Zhang Qiutong's shoes. As for the name...... Pei Chen smiled slightly, and did not answer directly, but chose to switch back to the correct Chinese and said such a sentence.
……
……
Yaya was a Napole mastiff, with a dull roar and a huge size, barely engraved the word 'vicious' on the door of his head.
This is Hagrid's hound, and it is said that the object resembles the shape of the owner, just like Hagrid's big body, and the shape of the teeth and teeth is also very huge, which makes people feel numb at the first sight of the scalp. However, if you are walking in the Forbidden Forest, carrying such a dog will make you feel safe.
It's just that......
"Don't look at it like this, it's actually very timid." Looking at the guys who insisted on being in a group with Yaya, Pei Chen said helplessly. It didn't cost him much to borrow the tooth from Hagrid, but he offered Hagrid to help take care of the two unicorns, and Hagrid was eager to sell the tooth and tooth.
Entering the forbidden forest for field exploration, it was not that Pei Chen had a big brain, but that he felt the need to do so. Of course, he didn't directly put all the students into the Forbidden Forest without thinking, but divided the whole class into three groups, led by himself, Hai Ge and Yaya to enter the team to ensure safety.
After setting up the two unicorns, Hagrid hurried over without the slightest reluctance. He and Pei Chen had met before, and they had a good sense of this oriental wizard.
"Your team is not allowed to deviate from the prescribed route, understand? If I find out, I'll have to deduct 10 ...... Note that 10 points will be deducted per person! I don't think your respective deans would want to lose a hundred or so points in a single class. Although Pei Chen didn't care much about his position as a teacher, he also felt that it was always a bad thing for him to cause dozens of lives on the first day of class, so he could only emphasize it again and again.
Most of the boys chose to let Yaya and themselves go into the Forbidden Forest, and their idea was very simple. It's just that without teachers around, they will have a lot more freedom. Pei Chen knew what they were thinking, so they had to follow the path that Hagrid usually took when he entered the Forbidden Forest, and they couldn't go deeper.
The group of people immediately wailed and protested.
Pei Chenquan thought he hadn't heard it, and continued: "Don't think that I won't know, and you don't have any luck, I think even if your dean has a good temper." If you lose more than 100 house points at once, you can't help but fill your stomach with cement and sink into Tokyo Bay, right? ”
He said with a smile, although everyone couldn't understand what he said, they still clearly felt the malice contained in it, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
After estimating the time, Pei Chen said, "Okay, it's time to go...... You have a little more than twenty minutes, and the task is to work in small groups of three to four people to capture at least one or more tree guards...... Be careful, I don't want to see someone's eyeballs gouged out. ”
Seeing that the group with teeth walked into the forbidden forest first, Pei Chen turned his head to look at the big man beside him, not knowing what was going on with him.
"Is that really good? Let the younger students enter the Forbidden Forest...... It's too dangerous. Hagrid said with some concern, looking at Pei Chen and hoping that he would give a decent explanation.
"Don't worry, no matter how dangerous the periphery of the Forbidden Forest is, how dangerous can it be?" Pei Chen shook his head, he himself had walked back and forth in this forest several times, and naturally knew that only by really going deep into the forbidden forest would he gradually have a chance of encountering some dangerous species. And with only 20 minutes, plus the distance when they came back, this group of students was able to walk out in a straight line and have to go back and forth for less than a kilometer.
Seeing that the team led by Hagrid also left, Pei Chen couldn't help but be a little happy. If each group can catch a tree protection pot, it seems that they don't have to worry about the raw materials of a certain potion they want to configure?
"Professor, can we go?"
"Alright, let's go." Pei Chen nodded.
This time, Pei Chen chose a different path, and he had not been here before. But then he stumbled upon traces of the activities of the giant snake python, so he paid attention to see what kind of ruthless character the snake that could live in this dark forbidden forest was.
At least it has to be much more powerful than the brainless werewolf who did it with one move before, right? Because of the influence of blood factors, Pei Chen now always has an inexplicable affinity for reptiles, especially snakes.
"Professor, where are you from?"
"Professor, you studied magic at that magic school?"
"Professor, what is magic like in China?"
“……”
Along the way, the group of people he brought with him were very active, chirping non-stop. At first, I still had some scruples, but when I found out that Qiu Zhang, a British-Chinese girl, was very generous and talked to this young professor, the other people gradually became bolder, and they kept asking questions around Pei Chen.
Although Pei Chen was not impatient, he was not the kind of person who said everything, and only Qiu Zhang, a Chinese who made him feel a sense of familiarity and intimacy, could allow him to answer questions selectively. He always answered some irrelevant questions with a smile, such as identity, address, etc., anyway, this kind of thing Infinite Space had already been arranged for him, and he didn't worry about what would happen.
As for some questions he didn't want to answer, he also made a haha, and he dealt with it when he was concerned. However, this attitude not only did not make the students' enthusiasm fade by half a point, but made them more excited.
It wasn't until they were sure that there were tree guards on a few trees that they finally converged, and they divided into groups in twos and threes and began to prepare to complete their tasks.
Pei Chen watched these children, who were nominally his own students, take action, hesitated for a while, but still didn't take it and left them like this to continue to explore deeply. Even though he had seen the snake molting not far away, he was sure that there was a very large snake moving nearby.
