Chapter 222: Centaurs

In fact, the centaurs are not fantastic animals in the strict sense, they have human heads, torsos and upper limbs, but the lower body is connected to the body of horses, they are intelligent beings with complex social structures, they are very intelligent, can speak human language, and are social creatures that can pose a certain threat to the current human race, so it is unfair to them to classify them into the category of magical beasts.

It is said that the origin of the centaurs is Greece, and the centaurs living in the British Isles can be roughly divided into three different categories according to the different colors of the horses, for example, there are brown centaurs, and the brown centaurs that Hugo saw in the Fantastic Beasts course were scared half to death by the devilback devil badgers, and they are also the largest number of centaurs living in the Scottish Highlands! At the same time, the brown centaurs are very good in their understanding of magic, and there are always very strong masters of magic in the group.

In addition, there are the black centaurs, who are stronger than their brown counterparts and have better bows and arrows, although their physical abilities are relatively good, but they cannot shake the status of the brown centaurs, in addition to the fact that the brown centaurs are better at magic, the most important reason is that they are much less numerous than the brown centaurs.

There is also the smallest number of centaurs, their skin is mainly white, although their number is very rare, but they have a high status in the entire centaur society, because this kind of centaurs are more proficient in astronomy, and the probability of appearing a fortune teller is generally much higher than that of the other two types of centaurs, it is said that the wizard's earliest astronomical knowledge in addition to relying on the study and observation of wise men in the human race, there is also a part of it obtained from these white centaurs.

Although the Centaurs can be roughly divided into three kinds according to their skin color, due to the different geographical locations, living habits and social structures, the tribal composition of the Centaurs is much more complex than the skin color, and there are almost a dozen Centaur tribes living in the Scottish Highlands! Each of them has a different concept, among which there are not a few tribes that have mutual grudges or even feuds.

The vast majority of centaurs live in the jungle, basically hunting, plus a little simple planting subsidy tribe, this way of life seems to be good, but it seriously limits the overall number of centaurs, because it is difficult to feed so many tribes in the jungle once the number is large, so it can only be dispersed into many tribes to reduce the pressure of survival. Most of the vast and rich land is occupied by humans, and the scale of the races that want to expand must challenge the dominance of humans!

And human beings are an important soil that gives birth to wizards! There are many more ordinary people who awaken to become wizards every year than the descendants of pure-blood families who have wizarding talents, and they are the most important part of supplementing the overall strength of wizards, so wizards will never allow other intelligent beings to challenge the domination of human beings! At this point, the white wizard and the Holy See have fully reached an agreement, and for a period of time they have launched a bloody suppression of the alien race!

One of the tribes of the centaurs is one of the victims of this bloody crackdown!

When Hugo saw the centaurs at Hogwarts, he immediately thought of the Grandpa Whitebeard who appeared at the edge of the Forbidden Forest on the night of the exam, and their visit could not have been purposeless, and they had to meet Hufflepuff Lord with that level of fear, and the two young centaurs who were 'on display' under the trees in the distance were probably on a mission like a mascot or a dove of peace.

Maybe they are the 'teaching aids' of the Fantastic Beasts course, which is a little innocuous addition to the negotiation process between the two sides, so that the little wizards can understand the centaurs at the same time, and also let the younger generation of centaurs come into contact with these developing little wizards, which is not harmful for both sides, as for what consensus or agreement the centaurs and the Big Four have reached, it is not for Hugo to know.

The little wizard and the centaur stared at each other with little eyes, both having the feeling of looking at the exhibits, the difference was that the little wizards were completely curious and amazed, while the centaurs were more vigilant, because the two young and promising centaurs were instilled with the notions that "wizards are dangerous", "must always be wary of terrible creatures that walk on two legs", "the farther away from them, the better", and "they don't know awe".

These very negative messages make their minds have the same impression of wizards as ordinary people have of mafias who specialize in abduction and do all kinds of evil!

'What a terrible creature!'' 'It's a cancer of nature!'

And now Wanan and Chichima were facing a group of wizard cubs, and the two of them were standing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, leaning against the tall oak trees, carefully observing the little things that might not be as tall as their horses, and suddenly they felt that these wizard cubs were also quite cute! They looked no different from their bouncing foals.

Teacher Green is a little nervous in his heart, he doesn't have a lot of contact with the horse people, even if he met by chance in the depths of the Forbidden Forest in the past, most of the time he was vigilant to look at each other, and then the two sides slowly retreated, and finally disappeared into each other's field of vision, basically there was no communication, and at this time this distance was already very close to the general situation, which made him a little uncomfortable, it seemed that this distance made Teacher Green very insecure!

But this is a task personally arranged by Lord Hufflepuff! From today onwards, the little wizards will continue to have some understanding of the centaurs, whether they are friends or foes, and the easiest way to understand them is face-to-face communication, which is why this strange atmosphere of the 'blind date' activity has been achieved.

Wanan took a deep breath, thinking about the solemn advice of the elders before leaving, and slowly flashed out from behind a tall, thick oak tree, and cautiously took a few steps in the direction of the young wizard, allowing his tall body to emerge from the shade of the tree.

"Wow!!"

The little wizards who finally saw the real body of the centaurs let out an exclamation and shouted excitedly, their graceful and smooth back curves, strong limbs and bodybuilder-like torsos made the little wizards who had never seen much of the world feel very novel, like opening the treasure chest hidden in the attic by their grandfather!

The friendliness of the 'foals' also made the nervous Wanan and Chichima relax a little, and they slowly paced out of the Forbidden Forest, their long brown tails wagging unnaturally and gently, as if to repel the most annoying mosquitoes in the Forbidden Forest, to hide their apprehension at the moment.

Mr. Green and the centaur looked at each other for a while, nodded lightly to show friendship, and the centaur also returned a salute, even if the two sides had said hello, and now we are about to enter the climax of this 'fan meeting'!

Get up close and personal with centaurs and wizards!
