Chapter 345: It's a Centaur Again

The three of them overcame all obstacles, crossed the outermost forbidden forest, and entered the deeper places.

"The last time we came like this, it seemed like to see your brother, how is he doing?" Lockhart asked, "What's his name, Gollum?"

"Well, well, he's hiding in a cave across the Black Lake, if I hadn't been to let him be seen by the Death Eaters at school. Hagrid said with some smugness, "I could have let him live next to my cabin, maybe I could have built him a tent." ”

"Does he speak English now?" asked Hermione, curious.

"Yes, but the best thing is that he has at least the most important knowledge points for interacting with you. Hagrid glanced back at Hermione, "He knows that you pure human wizards are very fragile and can't touch them casually, do you want to go and see them?"

"No, say hello to Gildelow and me on his behalf. Hermione shook her head like a rattle.

"Okay. Hagrid nodded helplessly.

――

They stopped by a clear stream in the middle of the woods.

"It's the unicorn couple's house in front of them, and the husband will run out to chase people away. Hagrid explained to them, "What are you going to do, I have a good relationship with them, but it's unlikely that I'll ask them for blood, especially if it's a pregnant female unicorn." ”

"Give me the Cloak of Invisibility, I'll subdue them. Lockhart held out his hand to Hermione.

"How......" Hermione handed Lockhart the Cloak of Invisibility, "Let's discuss it, maybe we can do it." ”

"How's it to be discussed—tell it: Voldemort is wreaking havoc in the wizarding world, can you put some of your wife's blood for me to experiment?" Lockhart smiled bitterly, "Even if it could understand, it wouldn't be able to agree." ”

Even if it was negotiable, Lockhart didn't have the patience now, and put on the cloak of invisibility after speaking.

"Didn't Voldemort kill a unicorn back then, maybe it was their family and friends......" Hermione's voice grew quieter. She herself felt a little mysterious.

Now Lockhart's control of the magic power has been incredibly easy, as if the magic in the air is the part of his body that extends out, he easily waved his wand, condensed a layer of air around his body, stopped the emission of body odor, and then quickly calmed down the magic fluctuations and walked forward.

Gently using his wand to pluck the branches, Lockhart came to a clearing in the woods, where the ground was devoid of rotten leaves and branches, revealing a clean and fresh earth. There was a hole in a tree not far away. A unicorn that looked stronger than any of the previous encounters in the Cairngorms Forest rested on its stomach in front of a tree hollow, presumably "husband".

Lockhart walked straight to it, and for a moment felt like a villain, on his way to destroy a happy family...... When he got closer to the point where there were still more than ten meters left, the unicorn noticed something strange and looked up vigilantly.

Lockhart poked his wand out from under his invisibility cloak and pointed it at the unicorn, which was immediately startled to its feet, pointing the horn on its head in Lockhart's direction. Trying to scare the intruders away. The unicorn's horns looked long, pointy, and lethal, and could be worth thousands of Galleons if cut down and sold—but Lockhart wasn't here to make extra money.

With a flick of the wand, a red light shot from the tip. The unicorn on the opposite side sliced through the air in surprise and slammed into it, knocking it back a few steps and falling limply to the ground. The mana barrier of the body was completely unable to block an attack of this intensity.

Lockhart didn't stop, stepping over the male unicorn who had fallen to the ground and continuing to walk, the pregnant unicorn should be in the hollow of the tree. He went straight to the bottom of the tree, and saw the cave...... Then there was a flash of white light, and a wave of spatial magic came out, and the female unicorn actually took the child in her belly and left with a phantom shapeshift!

The unicorn couldn't use the wizard's Floo net, and it was impossible to run far, and Lockhart sensed the magic fluctuations around him, and quickly determined the direction the female unicorn was fleeing to. He ripped off his cloak of invisibility, stirred up the magic around him, and flew like a ghost in the direction of the female unicorn.

See, a pot-bellied unicorn is running away from it, really, and I don't want your life, just don't be able to catch it. Lockhart was about to cast the stun spell again, but saw the white light on the unicorn flash again, and reappeared nearly a hundred meters away.

No wonder they all say that unicorns are not easy to catch, just this hand, if it is not easy to ride a broom in the dense woods, nine out of ten wizards in the world will not be able to catch it, and even Quirrell hunted and killed unicorns for Voldemort all the way.

However, now Lockhart, even among those one percent of wizards, is the strongest!

A huge amount of magic power converged towards Lockhart from the air, and he also cast a phantom shifter, without the help of the Floo Net, directly dislocated more than a hundred meters, and suddenly appeared in front of the female unicorn, making it scream in fright...... If you can't hold back your footsteps, you just raise your horns, and your magic power will gather at the tip of your horns, and you're going to attack him!

Lockhart wasn't interested in blocking it, the unicorn's horn was its strongest weapon, and in ancient times, I don't know how many excellent hunters and powerful magical creatures were pierced by it. With his current strength, he can of course block it by mobilizing all the magic power around him, but if he makes the unicorn bloody and miserable, Hermione will probably feel distressed when he sees it.

The mana surged again, and Lockhart moved a meter phantomly, allowing the unicorn to pass him, then flicked his wand back and cast the Stun Charm again. But the moment the red light hit her, the female unicorn was ready to move again, and the phantom shifted out in the red light.

"Hey-" Lockhart was a little surprised, but the spell had already hit the opponent, so he just had to look for it near the landing spot.

He floated to the area where he sensed the fluctuations in spatial mana, and began to look for the unicorn that had fallen to the ground, the female unicorn's scream was apparently heard far away, and Hagrid and Hermione also nervously ran over to see what was going on.

"What did you do to her, Gildero?" Hermione cried sadly, crouching down beside the unicorn and gently petting it. "She's about to become a mother, how can you be so heavy!"

"Don't worry, she was just knocked unconscious, who made a unicorn run like that. Lockhart said, walking over to the unicorn lying on his side on the ground, Lockhart didn't put too her, and it would be bad if he accidentally injured the little unicorn inside. The unicorn's belly was still slightly heaving, and there were no wounds on its body, so it was obvious that the phantom had landed and fainted.

――

"Look at the belly, it should be born in two or three months. Hagrid watched and made sure the unicorn was okay. "She looks fine, let's take blood, it's so loud, the horses must have heard it, did you bring the tools to collect blood?"

"Well, I brought it. Hermione hurriedly took out her beaded pouch again, which had been with her for a long time, and her hard work was high. "I'm coming!" she slapped Lockhart's hand out for the knife, insisting on doing it herself.
