Chapter Ninety-Seven: Let's Go to Yellow Springs
As soon as Rick finished speaking, a figure appeared beside him. The tall figure and waist-length silver and white beard are none other than the current headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Looking at the corpses of the eight-eyed giant spider and the huge dragon bones all over the ground, Dumbledore resisted the shock in his heart, and asked Rick with a solemn look in his eyes to remove the armor.
"Graves, what's going on here?"
He had just returned to school from Europe, and before he could rest for a moment, he sensed the powerful magic fluctuations in the Forbidden Forest, and his heart was full of uneasiness, and he hurried towards the place where the accident happened.
"It's a long story, let's go back."
Rick, who wanted to recover the loot, found that the dragon bones of the lost wraith began to turn into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye. Feeling like he had fought a losing battle, Rick felt a little uncomfortable, not wanting to spend a second longer in this foul-smelling hill.
Seeing that Rick didn't want to explain to himself what was going on here, Dumbledore nodded his head in agreement, although he was a little dissatisfied.
So the two of them came to Hagrid. It was by this time that Hagrid had already said his final goodbyes to the ghost of Aragog.
When he saw Dumbledore approaching him, he remembered that he had hidden Alagog from Dumbledore, and his old face turned red, and he quickly stood up and apologized to Dumbledore with his head down.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be hiding things from Alagog like you, I broke the school rules, you fire me. ”
Dumbledore looked around, he looked at the corpse of the eight-eyed spider that had died on the ground, and understood that this was the nest of the eight-eyed spider that Hagrid had raised fifty years earlier.
He didn't blame Hagrid for this, although he often made mistakes, he had a good heart, and he also contributed greatly to Hogwarts for fifty years, and more importantly, he was his own confidant.
"Rubeus, it doesn't have to be like this. I always knew about you letting go of the eight-eyed giant spider and letting it nest in the Forbidden Forest. You've done a great job, and for so many years, it's been doing your bidding, and it's not harming a single innocent human being. ”
Dumbledore waved his wand, and a fiery snake emerged from his wand, and the fire burned the remains of the eight-eyed giant spider on the ground in an instant, and the originally smelly hills were now filled with a little smell of burnt meat.
The kiwifruit juice on the ground also turned into black ash, which became inorganic fertilizer for the plants in the coming year.
"Let's go, let's go back to the castle."
Dumbledore stretched out his arm, grabbed Hagrid's massive fingers, and looked at Rick.
Seeing that Dumbledore wanted to use Apparition, Rick wisely waved his wand to summon the house-elf girl who had been sent to safety, and then grabbed Hagrid from the other side.
"This?"
Dumbledore was even more puzzled at this time, his hundred-year-old brain really couldn't figure out why there was still an unconscious house-elf here. However, he didn't ask immediately, but nodded to Rick, and then used the Silent Spell to activate the illusion and left the place.
Five minutes later, the eight-eyed spiders who had fled the Forbidden Forest cautiously returned to their homes after discovering that the human wizards had left for good, and they hissed and screamed as they watched the battlefield scorched to the earth.
Huge unknown creatures killed their ancestors, all the adult eight-eyed spiders were killed in battle, and these near-adult eight-eyed spiders did not know how to survive the next winter, and they gathered at the entrance of the cave and roared at their fellow citizens in the cave for safety.
Moments later, an elderly spider half the size of Aragog slowly crawled out of the burrow, surrounded by a bunch of juvenile eight-eyed giant spiders.
There was no longer any remains of the eight-eyed spider on the ground, but it could sense the presence of its offspring in the land. It dragged its body and crawled slowly in one direction, behind a scorched earth.
It crawled down and felt the full breath of the place, which belonged to Aragog.
A mournful cry resounded through the Forbidden Forest, and Mosag fell to the ground.
Lying there forever, on the scorched earth where Aragog once existed.
The surrounding eight-eyed giant spiders, watching Mosag's departure, all raised their heads and hissed loudly to bid farewell to their two ancestors and their fathers and sisters.
No matter how ferocious and selfish the eight-eyed giant spiders are, they will also feel sad in their hearts when they face the departure of their kind.
......
Deep in the Forbidden Forest, where few wizards have reached, on a giant stone pier, a short figure opened his huge eyes, and he looked angrily in the direction of the hills, and let out a roar.
"Damn the Yankees! I'll get my revenge! ”
With that, his face was in pain, and a mouthful of blood spat out of his mouth, and then his whole body collapsed on the stone pier, falling into a coma.
The death of the bone dragon caused his soul to suffer a serious backlash. The already broken soul, after experiencing this kind of backlash, without a few years of cultivation, he will not be able to repair the scars on his soul.
Rick's appearance gives him a new lease of life, but also puts him in a deep crisis.
......
At half past nine in the evening, looking up from the garden outside, most of the rooms in Hogwarts Castle were already lit up, except for the Headmaster's room.
"Hey, what an eventful season, a dark wizard with a bone dragon has appeared in the Forbidden Forest, what the hell does he want to do?"
After listening to Rick's report, Dumbledore sighed. came to the house elf girl who was still in a coma. His eyes rolled involuntarily, thinking about what to do next.
"He shouldn't have a second bone dragon, after all, this kind of magical creation that has disappeared for thousands of years. With the current alchemy technology, it is not intended to create an existence that can be created.
The bone dragon I killed just now was made by wizards thousands of years ago. Even if he had a detailed crafting process, it would not be easy to collect a large number of unjust souls in the current wizarding world.
Whenever there is a large-scale disappointment of humanity, it will be discovered by the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible. ”
The only person who has ever seen the face of a dark wizard now is the house-elf girl who is still unconscious in front of her. They can't determine who the dark wizard is, so they can only analyze the opponent's combat power first.
When Dumbledore was concerned about his powerful magical creation, Rick disagreed.
After slaying the bone dragon, those who returned to the underworld were humans dressed in medieval clothing. From this point Rick can be sure that the other party is just a lucky person who has received the legacy of a medieval wizard.
The cost of making a bone dragon is too high, and in the Middle Ages, a powerful wizard could only make one bone dragon, and there is no ancient book that has two or more bone dragons.
So Rick was sure that the dark wizard who appeared in the Forbidden Forest could not have a second bone dragon, and even if there was a way to make it, he would not be able to make it.
"Hopefully."
