Deep in the Forbidden Forest, this is the settlement of the Centaurs.

Unlike sapient creatures in general, horsemen usually do not build houses that are too large.

For them, as long as the so-called shelter is enough to shelter from the elements, and with the cooperation with wizards, the 'houses' of the centaur settlements here are made of tall trees.

The overly dense foliage forms a canopy that completely blocks not only the sun, but also the wind and rain.

More than a dozen giant trees like this are rooted here, and the interlaced branches and leaves form a natural 'tree hole', and beyond that 'cave' is a clear river.

'Bang la la'

The sound of the clear stream reverberates, interpreting the beauty of this long-cherished jungle.

For most students, the Forbidden Forest is of course dangerous, with an ecosystem that has been passed down for thousands of years or more, and has a magical wealth and heritage that has been accumulated since the Big Four.

Maybe it's a backhand set up by some headmasters to prevent the school from being attacked by outside forces, or maybe it's a simple secret room.

Even, in the past thousand years, many students and even teachers have stuffed things into the Forbidden Forest.

What magical items, treasures, and even magical beasts, there is nothing unexpected and non-existent in this dark forest of Hogwarts.

But for the centaur settlements that have lived here for a long time, the unique ecology of the dark forest is part of life.

They have maintained their own customs, coexisted peacefully with everything in the Dark Forest, became a perfect part of the ecology of the Forbidden Forest, and even became allies with the werewolf colony next door.

The biggest trouble for them is the eight-eyed giant spider that the half-blood giant with no eyes and no brains put in decades ago.

It didn't matter if it was just one, but with the idea that it wouldn't be easy to kill, the horses could raise the spider and send it to the end.

However, I don't know what kind of wind the giant smoked, and found a female spider.

For a moment, they were unaware of the location of the spider eggs, and a group of eight-eyed giant spiders began to entrench themselves in the Forbidden Forest.

However, even they did not completely disturb the ecology of the Forbidden Forest.

Under the joint suppression of the centaurs and werewolves, the eight-eyed giant spider did not spread outward.

In fact, while the horsemen still have a bad attitude towards Hagrid, the Eight-Eyed Spider is the same in their eyes.

This does not affect the daily life of the Centaur settlement.

When Ferenze, who had gone out, returned to his settlement, he was greeted by a peaceful scene.

The young children of the clan were running happily, and the trunks of the trees were covered with hunting bows, arrows, and the skins of other wild beasts.

However, instead of reassuring Ferenze, this peaceful sight made him frown even more.

"Hoo ......"

Thinking back to the red-haired wizard boy, he only felt that the clouds were shrouded and did not disperse for a long time.

Every birth of the Oak Sage meant a tumult, as was the case with the ancient Cuthbold, as was Merlin, who was worshipped by the wizards and even set up various organizations in his name.

So, what did that kid named Connor bring to the table?

In the dark, Ferenze even had a feeling that even Hogwarts, which had been standing for a long time, was not immune to turmoil.

"So, are our brothers who care about the world finally willing to come back from beyond the forest?"

Just as Ferenze was thinking to himself, a slightly yin and yang strange voice sounded.

In the entire settlement, even the elders would not speak to him like this, and there was only one person who had this attitude:

"Bain ......"

"What's the catch? Are you ready to wag your tail and beg for mercy on humans? ”

"I'm just out to find out what's going on, not to mention that you haven't seen yesterday's astrological signs, and we're in the middle of two wars right now."

"So what? After all, it's just a struggle between wizards...... There have been countless struggles within wizards for thousands of years, but which one has really affected us? ”

"But this time with the Oak Sage involved, Bane, we should do something about it sooner."

Not annoyed by Bane's attitude, Ferencze just spoke to persuade him.

It's just that this bitter attitude has not been understood after all.

"What about the Oak Sage?"

Bane expressed his disdain.

"I'm thankful that he can take care of the Eight-Eyed Spider so we don't have to worry about it."

"But ......"

"Ferenze, aren't you really scared by the stories that have been circulating before?"

"It's not fear, Bane, and you've probably heard the legends of the Elders, for every appearance of the Oak Sage represents chaos."

"Yes, yes, the Raven Witch, the Druid's rival, will also be there, just like Morrigan and Casbold, Morgan Le Fay and Merlin, who will use the whole world as a chessboard...... Poof. ”

Bane made no secret of the sarcasm in his words.

"Seriously, it's not too late to discuss this when the so-called Trinity Raven Witch appears."

After saying this, the white-maned and black-clothed centaur slowly walked towards the settlement.

"Come back now, we still need to prepare for the night hunt, and tonight is also the night of the full moon, in addition to the necessary night patrol, we also need to divide the men to guard the wolf people's village."

"I know, I ......"

Suddenly, Ferenze turned his head, his piercing gaze beyond the dense jungle.

"Something is happening out there again!"

"Ferenze!"

Hearing him say that, Bane couldn't help but look back, but he only saw the silver-white mane dancing, and the golden body was already running out of the Forbidden Forest.

"Ferenze !!"

…………

There's really no way to sit idly by......

When he heard Bane's angry cry, Ferenze could only secretly apologize to his compatriots.

He didn't think Bane was stupid or evil, but they had different positions.

What's more, Ferenze knew very well that in the entire race, he himself was the outlier, and Bane represented the mainstream ideas of the race.

However, he really can't let it go.

"By the time the scourge revealed by the stars is completely swept away, it will be too late."

With this in mind, he shuttled through the jungle with blistering speed.

Soon, a scene of chaos appeared before him, a scene of a storm passing through, the vegetation that sheltered the creatures of the forbidden forest had collapsed, and in the center stood two young children.

The boy was still standing, but the girl was lying on the edge of the tree trunk.

Just glanced at it, Rao is Ferenze felt that he was mentally prepared, and he couldn't help but feel blocked in his heart.

Gradually, he stared at the boy he had seen not long ago:

"I remember...... You should have left. ”
