Chapter Eighty-Seven: Werewolf Settlement

To be sure, Hagrid is not a good storyteller.

There was no specially adjusted tone of voice, and there were no brilliant descriptions, Hagrid just told the stories in the most unpretentious, unpretentious tone, which were probably distorted.

A background that couldn't be simpler:

In England, it is said that there was once a man who broke the contract with his king's brother and usurped the throne while his brother led an expedition, but he himself exercised tyranny, and the people of the kingdom were in dire straits.

Later, his brother successfully returned home and defeated him.

But instead of killing him directly, he forgave his crimes and appointed him as the heir to the throne.

However, mistakes have already been made.

Because of tyranny, because of the unscrupulousness of the past, the usurper has inadvertently offended a large number of wizards.

Wizards are not without friends, they have friends and family who exist as Muggles.

It is said that when these men were persecuted to death, the sorcerers began to prepare for revenge, preparing a curse and concocting a potion that they hoped would use to kill him directly.

However, for various reasons, the potion did not work as expected at the time.

Not only was the usurper safe, but he ruled as king after his brother's death.

It wasn't until after his death that his body showed signs of mutation, and his corpse turned into a sturdy werewolf that rioted on a full moon night and infected the inhabitants of a small town on the spot.

"In the end, it was Hogwarts that put an end to these farces, and it is said that the elderly Hufflepuff put the rioting werewolf king to rest, and moved the wolf-infected residents she could find to the Forbidden Forest to live under the protection of the centaurs, which is the origin of the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest."

Hagrid was clearly not first-hand at this point, and he used a lot of uncertain words in his account of the origin story.

But that doesn't detract from the integrity of the story.

But there is still a completely unavoidable problem here:

"Are you talking about the origin of the werewolves of the Forbidden Forest, or the origin of the werewolves as a whole?"

After hearing Connor's question, Hagrid was a little stunned for a moment.

"Of course, it's the origin of these werewolves in the Forbidden Forest...&& What is the origin of the werewolves?"

"The origin of the first werewolf was a mutation caused by a pure magical accident, due to being bitten by a wolf and taking the wrong treatment...... Well, that's what I've heard, that's right. ”

"Really?"

Hagrid couldn't help but scratch his big face.

"Is that what the book says? I've always felt that the cursed argument is more plausible, and how can there be no way to suppress the pure treatment of false mutations. ”

However, whether it was potions or herbs, these were actually in Hagrid's blind spot.

He didn't have a specific idea of the value of many objects.

However, he doesn't get into the horns either.

If you can't figure it out, then you don't want to!

"Anyway, after that, the werewolves settled in the Forbidden Forest."

When he came to his senses, Hagrid just said that.

"In the company of these animals and horses, there are also outsiders who have been allowed to voluntarily give up their wands and human identities to join the settlements here."

"Abandoning human identity?"

"Yes, the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest are different from the outside, they are in the company of centaurs, and when the moon is full, they will guard them for protection, but the price of joining the Forbidden Forest is to give up their wands, live in the most simple way, and never leave."

"Hmm...... It sounds a little sad. ”

"It's sad not to say, in fact, these werewolves are used to life in the Forbidden Forest, because the whole forest is big and has everything, and they even persuaded Lupin to stay and not go to the outside world more than ten years ago."

"Lupin?"

"Ahhh......h

Realizing what he had missed, Hagrid quickly covered his mouth.

"Nothing, nothing."

"Is this Lupin you're talking about a werewolf?"

“……”

Hagrid fell silent suddenly.

"Honestly, he's the best werewolf I've ever seen, not one of them."

Subconsciously looking left and right, Hagrid finally just raised a big finger in front of his lips.

"Don't tell anyone about it, okay? This world is not friendly to werewolves. ”

After all, it is a race that can infect ordinary people and even wizards by biting and scratching.

In terms of this infectious ability, wolfinization is actually more terrifying than the 'scarlet fever' that vampires have.

As far as the current wizarding society is concerned, scarlet fever has the potential to be cured, and with blood supplied, there is a high level of self-control to become a vampire.

But werewolves are different.

Whether there is enough food or not, they will eventually run away one day.

"Reason will fade away and be swallowed up by wildness, and this is the werewolf...... In other words, this is actually a common problem of bestialized people. ”

This is true of both wolfivism and blood-cursed orcs obtained by pure black magic.

"We're here."

Just as the two of them had crossed a stream, Hagrid suddenly spoke.

At the same time, Connor also saw the earthen wall under the moonlight.

The earthen walls themselves were built very high, and until now they have an ancient atmosphere, covered with scratches.

"These earthen walls were built to separate the inside from the outside."

Seeing that Connor had been staring, Connor just opened his mouth to explain.

"But to be honest, very few people come here, centaurs are generally forbidden to set foot here, and last year there were two Weasleys who scurried in and were scared back by the centaurs."

"Weasley twins?"

"Yes, it's them, naughty ones...... The door is here, come with me. ”

Hagrid led Connor to a closed door, unlocked.

"Hey, those centaurs are walking really fast, I saw them here guarding the door to keep the werewolves out of the way."

Scratching his head, Hagrid reached out and pushed open the heavy door, and the scene inside the earthen wall appeared in front of Connor.

There are not many tall houses, which seem to symbolize families, and there are about a dozen families in the forest.

But the most striking thing is the huge cave in the deepest part.

"That cave......

"That's what the full moon gives to these werewolves."

Hagrid couldn't help but sigh.

"Werewolves, these guys have periods of weakness and pain every month, and after contracting wolfism, they feel like their lives are ruined."

"Well, I don't deny that."

"Connor, do you think werewolves are completely cured?"

Suddenly, Hagrid asked this kind of question.

This is also a casual question, without much brain.

And he quickly scratched his head.

"When I didn't ask, after all, you're still young, and you can't know this kind of ......"

"Yes."

"Huh?"

Under Hagrid's stunned gaze, the boy simply walked towards the cave with his suitcase.

"Wolfing is not only curable, but also managed."
