A group of little guys were crammed into the carriage and chattered non-stop, Hugo felt that his ears seemed to contain a large number of bees, and he really couldn't stop for a moment, Hugo also knew that this was because the children were too excited to control the secretion of adrenaline, so they could only keep talking.

Soon the carriage left the forgotten village of Hangis, through a small wooded area, and the view ahead was clear, and the huge castle of Hogwarts was located next to a large lake.

The night sky doesn't hide its brilliance, and the magic glows of Hogwarts like a castle in a fairyland.

From a distance, it looked like a docile beast, the pet of the gods, crouching beside a huge wide lake and drinking quietly.

One after another exclamations came from the surrounding carriages, and all the children stared stupidly at this incomparable magical castle, it was so brilliant and majestic, and the words of admiration in the world pale in front of this castle of hope.

Slowly the convoy approached a towering gate, flanked by a continuous wall, in the distance you could faintly see the deep forest wrapped in the earth, through the gate all the way to the south, on the west side of the road was a large clearing, faintly seemed to have some high poles, I don't know what they were for.

On the east side of the road, it was a majestic giant tree, with a total height of nearly 20 meters, equivalent to the height of an ordinary six-story residential building, and it had an awe-inspiring trunk that seemed to be able to be hugged by a dozen people, and the trunk went straight up until it was very high before branching out into two branches, like two arms leaning upwards.

The broad canopy of trees was so densely connected that it was like a vast emerald green sky that covered the heads of all the children, and this time even Hugo stared at the canopy with his mouth wide open.

At this moment, the huge tree suddenly shook, as if a human had just woken up and twisted its waist, and twisted towards them! It just writhed so simply, but it felt like the whole sky was spinning, and it was terrifying!

Hugo felt that the hairs on his body stood up, because he remembered the trembling existence of beating willows, and if this giant tree also had the vice of beating willows, then even the giantized Brown Knight would still be slapped into a meat steak!

At this time, the giant tree seemed to have woken up, and found that there were many small things under its feet, so it looked down curiously at their carriage, and Hugo found a pair of huge cloudy amber eyes on the top of the trunk!

What the hell is this!!

"Don't worry, this is a magic dragon ancient tree spirit, it is the pet of Lord Hufflepuff, there is no danger, it is responsible for guarding Lord Hufflepuff's magic plant and herb garden" Just when everyone was shocked by this giant tree and couldn't speak, Saige calmly introduced them.

Pets, pets!!

Such a domineering pet? How can this thing be pampered in your arms? What can it be a pet about? My Jesus Christ!

Hugo's face was a little pale, and he really felt the insurmountable gap between himself and the Big Four again! The first time he felt this huge gap was when he saw the power of Lord Gryffindor, and now it was the second time!

In other words, there is such a big gap between him and the king of death, Peverell!

In front of this giant tree, Hugo's sense of superiority with a treasure hidden in his body and a warehouse full of gold coins was shattered, and a heartfelt sense of awe and strong desire was born!

I want to become stronger! Disturb the world with these twisters of fate! Create your own glory in the realm of magic!

The idea grew stronger than ever and took root!

Beneath this terrifying giant tree is a vast expanse of lush unknown herbs, neatly arranged like an Excel spreadsheet, interspersed with house-elves who take good care of them.

These are all very useful herbs, and the more cherished Magical Plant Cultivation Garden is in a more inner position, which is not visible from Hugo's position.

Behind this huge garden of ancient trees and herbs, this is a large deep forest, in which the shadows seem to hide the deadliest threats and the most terrifying creatures of black magic, this terrifying primeval forest is known as the Forbidden Forest in later generations!

And the purpose of the existence of this giant tree is not only to guard the herb garden, but also to deter the terrifying creatures in the Forbidden Forest, so that they can stay in the forest honestly and not cross the thunder pool, otherwise they will be greeted by the monstrous anger of the Demon Dragon Ancient Treant and the punishment of Lord Hufflepuff.

Compared to the former, the punishment of the latter was more fearful and awe-inspiring, something that the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest still remembers vividly.

"Since the Forbidden Forest is so dangerous, why don't the four Excellencies eradicate all the dark magic creatures in it in one go? Isn't this more conducive to the safety of the students?" Hugo has had this question in his heart for a long time, since every Excellency has such terrifying strength, it is not impossible to completely empty the Forbidden Forest. Why did this forest remain here and even plague the students more than 1,000 years later?

Saige, who was driving the carriage, looked back at Hugo with a smile and said playfully: "You are not the first student to ask this question, and you are certainly not the last, but the answer is the same."

Saige couldn't help but think that when he was in the fifth grade, he also asked this question to Hufflepuff that he had been holding in his heart for a long time, and then he couldn't help but smile when he recalled your answer, 'The years are like a song, the younger brother is like a river, the youth is not there, the younger sister is still coming'.

"This forest is a proving ground, a place of self-challenge, self-knowledge, and self-transcendence for students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Without the support of teachers and the love of the school, recognizing one's own strength and judging one's own boundaries is the law of survival! If you are lucky enough to be in the seventh grade, then this forbidden forest will be your graduation examination room!"

At this time, Saige showed a very serious expression, he looked at Hugo and said seriously: "I know you are precocious, but if you have not experienced the baptism of the Forbidden Forest, you are not qualified to set foot on the battlefield of black and white wizards!

Hugo's mind was now stunned by this domineering answer, it turned out that this was the real purpose of the existence of the Forbidden Forest! It was a place for graduation exams! It was not a place of horror that was hung high as in later generations, and only a few of the most brilliant students would go through it.

And in this fucking era, the Forbidden Forest is a topic that all graduates can't avoid!

This TM is the scariest graduation exam Hugo has ever seen!
