Chapter 290, Dumbledore attacks
When Lu Renjia took the Red Devil and continued to search for the next target in this black forest unscrupulously, it didn't take long. There was the sound of horses' hooves. In the darkness, more than thirty upper torsos were human bodies, but below there was a figure with the body of a horse, which appeared under the waterfall.
If a Muggle saw this half-human, half-horse creature, they would have thought it was a centaur from Greek mythology. It is true that this is indeed an ancient centaur people, and this centaur people are still the natives of the Black Forest.
Because of their common origin, the centaurs have guarded the holy unicorns for generations. The centaur family, who live by hunting, has always followed the customs passed down from generation to generation and lived the most primitive life. In this Black Forest, although there are many ordinary creatures such as deer and elk, but just hunting can only allow the centaur clan to be subdued. And as a race that guards unicorns, unicorns will naturally return to the centaur clan with their unicorns, manes and other things that will retire every twenty years. This also allows the centaurs who have a hard time to live in the magical world when the long winter comes, and exchange these best-selling things in the wizarding world for food for the winter.
Every centaur warrior is a natural hunter. More than thirty centaur warriors, searching around, found traces of human footsteps.
"Chief, there are human footprints in the woods, and there are some traces of unicorn blood on the rubble over there," a centaur warrior reported to the centaur matriarch beside him, who was stronger than the average centaur warrior.
With his upper torso wrapped in animal skins and a longbow made of antlers on his back, the centaur patriarch had a gloomy complexion. Untie the flute made of the unicorn's horns from the neck. Put it to your mouth and blow hard. Although it makes any sound, there is a ripple visible to the naked eye. Like ripples on the water, it spreads out in all directions.
This unicorn horn is made of a flute. The sound that came out. Even the magicians can't hear it. Only unicorns can sense it. If the injured unicorn is within a kilometer, it will whine when it senses this unique signal. When the time comes, the centaurs will go to the rescue.
But as time passed, there was still only the song of birds and insects within a radius of a kilometer.
"Who the hell is it!! Damn it!! Poison the holy unicorn! Aren't they, greedy humans, afraid of being cursed by their souls!! ”
"Patriarch, let's look for it, maybe we can find the man's traces, as long as he's still in the Black Forest! We've got to get him out!! ”
"That's right! Such a greedy black magician! If you don't kill him, he'll kill more unicorns!! ”
Looking at the indignant centaur warriors, the centaur patriarch calmed down instead, and suddenly thought of Rubeus a few days ago. The news that Hagrid, the Hogwarts ranger, had said. Four hooves jumped to the place where human footprints had appeared. "This is no ordinary dark magician!! It is impossible for a weak black mage to leave such deep footprints on the ground, and he is not a werewolf, because there is no stench, is it really Rubeus. That 'poaching demon' Hagrid was talking about? He muttered to himself. The centaur patriarch commanded a centaur warrior beside him, "Godric? Gryffindor, Helga? Hufflepuff, Royner? Ravenclaw, Salazar? Slytherin had a pact with all the creatures of our Black Forest! Saba, go to Hogwarts and tell Arbus about it. Dumbledore! ”
The centaur warrior known as Saba, when he heard the patriarch's order, knew that the enemy this time was definitely not those ordinary dark magicians. Otherwise, the centaur clan that has guarded the unicorn for hundreds of years will not know how many poachers have been killed in this Black Forest. Why did you turn to Hogwarts?
"Obeth the Patriarch! I'm going!! With that, the centaur warrior known as Saba set aside his hooves. Run in the direction of Hogwarts.
At the same time, Lu Renjia, who didn't know that he had been exposed, took the red devil and killed a pure white unicorn again. In the midst of that wail of grief and indignation. A hair-thin black sword pierced the unicorn's abdomen, crushing its heart.
Hear the unicorn's dying wail again, the resentful eyes of the centaur warriors. It's like it can spew sparks.
"Split into two teams! Sartre! You take a team of people and protect the rest of the unicorns. Hunt down these greedy poachers with me!! As soon as the Centaur Patriarch's voice fell, the orderly Centaur warriors split in two. The crisp sound of horses' hooves echoes through the Black Forest. Fifteen centaur warriors with bows and arrows chased in the direction of the unicorn's dying wail.
In a short time, Saba, a centaur warrior who was good at running, had already run out of the Black Forest. The janitor of Hogwarts, Filch saw the centaur warrior come late at night. The gloomy face of Filch showed a disgusted gaze, although he was born in a wizard family, but Filch was a squib who could not use magic, which was undoubtedly a disaster for a wizard family, equivalent to the birth of a mentally retarded child in a Muggle family. Fortunately, Filch's daddy relationship made Arbus. Dumbledore took Filch in. Gave a job as a Hogwarts janitor.
It is precisely because of the inability to use magic that both the lively little magicians and the magical creatures in the Black Forest seem to remind Filch of his embarrassing identity all the time.
"Centaurs!! This is not the place for you!! Dare to take another step forward! I'm about to sound the alarm!! Filch yelled at the duck's throat.
"Damn Squibs!! My centaur clan is looking for Arbus. Dumbledore!!! Get the hell out of here!! Saba shouted mercilessly.
Poked in the sore spot of his inferiority complex by the savage centaur warrior in front of him, the resentful Filch was just about to sound the alarm and summon the wizard guarding Hogwarts to teach the arrogant and savage centaur warrior a lesson. Dumbledore's deep voice came from behind him.
"The centaur warrior doesn't know what you're doing with me so late?"
Meet the deep-eyed, kind-faced Arbus. Dumbledore, known as the greatest white mage of the century, stepped out, his sturdy Saba's front hooves slightly bent. Place your left arm in front of your chest. Performed the etiquette of a centaur clan to the strong.
"Dear Arbus. Headmaster Dumbledore, I'm Saba, the warrior of the centaur clan! Tonight in the Black Forest, a greedy human poacher has attacked a unicorn who wants you to follow Hogwarts with all the creatures of the Black Forest. Covenants made for generations help! Saba said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Under reading glasses, Arbus. Dumbledore's deep eyes flashed with a gleam. With the pride of the centaurs. If you encounter an ordinary magician who dares to kill a unicorn, you would have already shot those magicians through with the sword in your hand. Don't underestimate the humble bow and arrow in the hands of this centaur. The feathers of these bows are made from the mane of a unicorn. Under the influence of the holy magic of the unicorn, even defensive magic such as 'armor protection' and 'obstacles' will be shot through. If it weren't for that, the arrogant patriarch of the centaur clan would never have come to ask for help with the alliance that the four great magicians who established Hogwarts made hundreds of years ago with all the magical creatures of the Black Forest.
Arbus. Dumbledore nodded solemnly. In a deep voice, he said, "Centaur warrior Saba! I'm in the name of Headmaster Hogwarts. Fulfill the covenant to be followed for generations! You go back first, and I'll take the professors from Hogwarts to reinforce you."
Saba hears Abs. Dumbledore said this, and once again respectfully performed the etiquette of a centaur clan, "Watch and help each other, attack and defend the alliance!" No betrayal! ”
Watching Saba, the centaur warrior who had come to ask for help, leave, Arbus. Dumbledore pulled the 'Elder Wand' from the sleeve of his robe, which was said to be the strongest wand. Holding his wand to his forehead, he whispered, "Snape, McGonagall, Sprout, and Flitwick have summoned all the professors and prefects to the Great Hall!! ”
Anyway, Arbus. Dumbledore snapped his fingers, and a flash of red light flashed beside him. Arbus. Dumbledore's magical pet was named Fox's Phoenix. Flapping his wings appeared in Abs. Dumbledore's side.
"Old man, please go to the Black Forest first! Remember to be careful. If it's really that poaching demon, you'll be right back! Because that guy has killed a lot of your companions," Arbus. Dumbledore commanded in a deep voice.
The spiritual Fawkes nodded, unfurled his golden wings, flapped and flew into the sky, heading towards the Black Forest.
Snape, McGonagall, Sprout, and Flitwick were the heads of Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. Hear Abs. Dumbledore's voice. The four of them who were sleeping hurriedly got up, summoned the prefects of their respective academies and the professors in the academies, and hurriedly rushed towards the auditorium.
Arbus in a gray robe. Dumbledore's face grimened. After seeing the four deans of Snape, McGonagall, Sprout, and Flitwick leading the seventh-year prefects of their respective houses and more than a dozen professors with first-class magical cultivation. Arbus. Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "I just received a request for help from the centaurs, and in the Black Forest, a unicorn was killed."
Since the birth of the wizarding world. Unicorns are magical creatures with their innate magical effects. It has become a sought-after commodity in the wizarding world. But thanks to the protection of the centaurs, most of the dark mages who wanted to poach unicorns paid a heavy price.
Severus with a gloomy and gloomy gaze. Snape's eyebrows furrowed, staring at Arbus. Dumbledore asked, "Was he killed and not captured?" ”
Normally, the black mages who poach unicorns will only injure the unicorns and find a way to take them away. After all, a living unicorn is more valuable than a unicorn corpse.
Arbus. Dumbledore nodded solemnly, "It should be killed!" With the help of Fox's sight, I didn't find a large-scale poaching gang, so it can be seen that it was definitely the powerful 'poaching demon' who came to the Black Forest! ”
"Report to the Ministry of Magic, the 'Poaching Demon' is here at Hogwarts, and our job is to protect the students first, not to deal with the mysterious Poaching Demon, isn't it?" Severus. Snape muttered.
The two Hufflepuff principals, Sprout and Flitwick, and Ravenclaw also nodded.
"Snape is right, our first responsibility is to protect our students," said Flitvy, the head of Ravenclaw College, who is less than a meter tall.
"Although this is a matter for the Ministry of Magic, isn't that the 'poaching demon' actually appearing in the Black Forest a provocation to our Hogwarts? If you don't stop it! What is the majesty of our Hogwarts? "Hot-tempered Minerva. McGonagall said menacingly.
Only the head of the Hufflepuff House, Pomona. Sprout struck a lean attitude of neutrality and remained silent.
Seeing the four Headmasters representing the four Hogwarts houses with very different styles began to argue. Dumbledore waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice, "This time the centaur clan came to ask for help based on the generational pact we made with all the magical creatures in the Black Forest when we founded Hogwarts, and we have to go to Snape, McGonagall, you two and follow me!" Flitwick, tell the Ministry of Magic to contact the nearby Aurors and have them come to reinforce all the prefects of your organization, and activate defensive magic to keep all the students in Hogwarts safe!
