"Then it's the other way around. Lockhart shrugged and smiled contemptuously, "I'm not from the Ministry of Magic anyway, so you don't have to worry about me." Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, and I'm not a stranger in Nidu-Gilderoy Lockhart -- but I don't remember your name either, so I'll forgive you for your bad memory. ”

"Gilderoy Lockhart?" the centaur led by him was startled, and immediately waved his companions to lower their weapons, "You said you are not from the Ministry of Magic, so you are the Gilderoy Lockhart of the Order of the Phoenix?"

"It seems that Your Excellency knows a lot about the wizarding world. Lohart nodded, "It's the unlucky guy who was rumored to have been killed by the Aurors, I wonder what you have to say?"

"Since you are a Order of the Phoenix, you should be the kindest among wizards, why do you want to attack unicorns?"

"Grandpa said, there is no kind wizard in the world!" said a young centaur next to him angrily, "Every wizard must have a handful of attack spells in his hand when he is politely talking to you, and how can he prove that he is not in league with the Ministry of Magic?"

"The young man is right," Lockhart laughed, "I could have thrown a few spells to blow you all up in an instant if I had to, but I didn't do it directly, because I felt that we had a common enemy and room for cooperation...... As for how to prove that I am from the Order of the Phoenix, you should have seen me with Hagrid just now, and he is also ...... the Order of the Phoenix."

"Yes, Hagrid is a Order of the Phoenix, and I know that a wizard can't control him with an Imperius Curse or become him with a Polyjuice potion. The leader of the centaur nodded, "So you admit that you attacked the unicorn just now?"

"Is it hurt, please?" Lockhart asked fearlessly, the wound had healed anyway. "I didn't hurt it, but you shot my wife with an arrow without saying a word. ”

"You've wounded several centaurs!" the young centaur yelled angrily, but only loudly, not daring to make any movement of his hands. Even a fool can see that the wizard in front of him is not something that the twenty or so centaurs here can deal with. "Ma Guoren, this matter can't be left like this!"

"Ah, yes, your name is Ma Guoren, of course you can't just leave it at that—I can apologize......" Lockhart said to the horse men at the head of the horse, "if you want any material compensation, you can also ask for it." Mr. Ma Guoren, I will try to do it-"

"We don't need compensation!"

"How about I, then, stand here, and shoot me with arrows, whatever you want?" said Lockhart, in a sincere tone, "a thousand eighteen hundred arrows." Stop when it's cool, how about it. ”

"You-" Although the centaurs are magical creatures, they are similar to human squibs, but they have magic in their bodies, and few can use magic, and they don't have Muggle-like technology, so they really can't help Lockhart.

"Shut up, Yada. Ma Guoren stopped the young horse man's words. "So, Mr. Lockhart. What the hell are you doing here, if you're here to demonstrate, we're ...... If it's here to continue to hurt the unicorns, then we won't let it go!"

"Touching. But I'm here to ask for peace, and I want you to do me a favor...... In return, you can gain my friendship—"

"Who is rare for a human friendship!" the young centaur who spoke was glared at by the leader and did not continue.

"So. Can I hear how you can help first?" Makuren turned to glare at the young centaur and then at Lockhart. "Centaurs have always disliked humans, please understand. But be happy to help all those who need help. ”

"I have a friend who has been cursed during the fight against the Dark Lord and the Ministry of Magic, and needs the unicorn's cord blood to recover completely...... "I hope you can take the unicorn's blood for me when it gives birth, and then tell Hagrid to take it, how about it?"

"Cord blood?"

"That's right, it doesn't have to hurt the unicorn......

"Yes, but you have to understand that we centaurs just like and protect unicorns, and are equal to them and not the owners of unicorns. "I don't think a unicorn would welcome us to see her delivery and then have us take the cord blood ......."

"It's going to be difficult, I can understand it," Lockhart said with a non-grin, "but I guess it's overcome, and if you need anything, you can bring it up - if not, then I'll go get the female unicorn back now, and wait!"

"You're a threat!" the horses immediately roared in annoyance.

The Centaurs said they were threatening them, and Lockhart wanted to laugh, he really wanted to use a heart curse to wake up these fools, isn't this nonsense?

Ma Guoren, as the leader, naturally couldn't say a bunch of scenes like other horse people, he thought for a while, and could only compromise: "Okay, I will do it, but since you said that you will make conditions with me, then I will make a few requests." If by the end of the war, the Order of the Phoenix has won, the centaurs must be treated better and at least revert to the policy of a year ago. ”

"A very reasonable request, I agreed. Lockhart didn't even think about it, "If my friend's illness is cured, I can even offer a more lenient policy for the centaurs." ”

"We can only choose to believe you, Mr. Lockhart. "Well, then—if nothing else, I hope you don't disturb the life in the Forbidden Forest, especially the unicorn couple." ”

"Yes. Lockhart was satisfied, and it was comfortable to talk to smart people, but in the end he had to make it clear: "But I'm a bit superstitious, and my brain is not very good." Whether it's the unicorn being 'scared away' or you missed the cord blood collection because you weren't there during the delivery, I'm going to lose my mind and blame the horses for the mistake...... I'm sorry if I do something bad at that time......"

"Senseless threats. Ma Guoren said angrily, "Horse people have always been talkative. ”

"I can only choose to trust you, then it's decided, I'll go and inform Hagrid about this. Lockhart summoned the magic in the air once more, and the great momentum returned to him to remind the centaurs that he was qualified to threaten them, this time turning into a white mist and flying towards Hagrid's hut.

After explaining the matter to Hagrid, Lockhart returned to Hogwarts Castle, where Hermione and Snape were still chatting in the office, one looking nervous and the other excited.

"Gildero, I was talking to your wife just now, and I have to admit that she is a genius, and she has actually found a way to deal with Nagini!" Snape's flushed face startled Lockhart. "She actually told me that she had seen an old book in the library that showed how to make demon-breaking weapons!

"I-" Hermione was about to cry, she just showed off unconvinced that she had read a lot of books, but accidentally poked the hornet's nest, and Snape actually mentioned asking Lockhart to accompany him to Voldemort's side to deal with Nagini!

"Well, what's going on?" Lockhart was a little strange, he had only been away for less than an hour, what would they talk about about weapon making? He didn't know, Hermione and Snape had already talked from the south to the north of the earth in just forty minutes, and from the ancient to the future - Hermione was no match for Snape in terms of potions and dark arts, and Snape didn't believe it in divination or something, so he had to talk about some unpopular subjects before he could barely get his face back.

"Ancient Enchantment, this book, I've seen it in the library for a long time, but I've never opened it and read it, I didn't expect Hermione to read it all!" Snape actually started to call her by her name, which shows that this time she was really a little excited, "Look here!" He turned the book to Lockhart to read: "The magic breaking enchantment recipe, I don't have a lot of materials on it, I haven't even seen it, and I don't know how to do it, but I should be able to find someone who can ......"

"Well, awesome, Hermione, have you read all of them?"

"Well, it's illustrated, it's pretty good, and I use it as a bedtime book...... I haven't read a book before I go to bed since I've been with you!" Hermione said sadly, "but I really haven't heard of a living weapon enchanter in this world!"

"There must be one among the goblins, in fact, the Gryffindor sword in the headmaster's office is an enchanted weapon, but it is not attached to breaking demons, but absorbing magic, which can absorb a destructive substance that has been recently contacted. ”

"Actually, every wand is an enchanted weapon, but it is attached to some magic ...... that makes its own magic more endurance, or increases the user's magic affinity" It's all in trouble anyway, Hermione thought, just tell everything she knows. The book concludes with the story of three genius brothers hundreds of years ago who invented a way to attach three or more different magical spells to the same magical object, including some powerful wands, but this method was eventually lost...... And these magical items they made have gradually disappeared into the long river of history - what are their last names?

"Brother Peverell. Lockhart had the correct answer, he had done some knowledge about the Deathly Hallows, and had even collected them, the first owners of the legendary Deathly Hallows were the Peverell brothers, and now it seemed that the stories in the book Hermione had read were the real origin of the Deathly Hallows - they were made by the Peverell brothers using a magical enchantment, not the fairy tale Grim Reaper gave to the wizard. I just don't know how many similar magic items they made, whether the Deathly Hallows were the three strongest among them, and whether the three brothers really died to protect these three items?

"That's right, has Gildelow read this book too?" Hermione was a little surprised, "but there is definitely no one in the world who can possess demons on weapons, and even if they exist, you can't find them, and if you can find them, you can't find them!"

"What's wrong?" Lockhart soothed Hermione's flushed face with the back of his fingers.
