Chapter Seventy-Seven: Hagrid: I Must Be Crazy

Previous Chapter

"Poachers?" Love and Faulksi were stunned.

The Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts is home to a large number of rare magical animals, so there's no shortage of coveted eyes. There are always wizards who want to sneak into the Forbidden Forest and poach the magical animals here, and even if they don't hunt any animals, they can make a small fortune by picking up some biological resources inside. You know, there are unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, and the hair on their tails is sold at the root, which is quite expensive. If you take shit luck and pick up a bunch of unicorn tail hairs, it's even more lucrative than reselling magical beasts.

In the last century, this kind of poaching was rampant, and it was only after the joint efforts of the school's teachers and students and the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest that these greedy creatures gradually disappeared. Even if someone occasionally has a thief's heart and does not die, they will be expelled by the horses.

After Voldemort lost power, these guys completely faded out of everyone's field of vision, and today Hagrid actually said that there were poachers in the Forbidden Forest?

"It was the horses in the Forbidden Forest who told me that this time it wasn't a small character, and that it was targeting a unicorn - and it almost got it."

Hearing Hagrid say this, Love and Foxie raised their eyebrows at the same time.

If you dare to use unicorns as a hunting target, then this guy is definitely not the kind of lame wizard who can't even release the iron armor spell, because unicorns are powerful creatures, and most people who fight their ideas will be used to make holes with their horns.

Powerful strength, vigorous vitality, resilience, high damage reduction to curses, and fast speed, the unicorn's attribute panel is close to perfection, and such a creature is being hunted down.

"Almost done, what do you mean?" Faulcy asked, looking up.

"There's a unicorn that's been hurt by that thing, and it's very badly injured." Hagrid stood up and took out a fur quiver and a bundle of bolts from the corner of the house. He sat down in front of the fireplace, dismantling bundles of crossbow arrows and putting them into the quiver one by one.

His movements are slow and methodical, and before placing them in the quiver, he checks the status of each crossbow arrow to make sure that each arrow is qualified.

"Hagrid, you're going to ......" Watching Hagrid's movements, Love guessed what he was going to do.

"I'm the gamekeeper, it's my duty to protect the Forbidden Forest, and I'm going to go deep into the Forbidden Forest to find the wounded unicorn and free it from its pain." Hagrid said.

The way he used it was subtle, there were two ways to get out of pain, heal the injury or send it to life, and Love didn't know which way Hagrid intended to go, maybe both, but either way, all-

"It's very dangerous." Love's tone also became solemn.

"Yes, that's why that forest is called the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid generously acknowledged the risks, "But I'm familiar with the Forbidden Forest, and I have a lot of friends in it, so it's okay to get out of it." ”

Speaking of which, there is a faint pride in Hagrid's eyebrows, after decades of being a hunting ground guard, Hagrid has accumulated a lot of "human" connections in the Forbidden Forest, and he has more or less some friendship with various magical animal races, and he belongs to the home field in the Forbidden Forest. Looking at Hogwarts as a whole, it may be that Dumbledore is better at moving in the Forbidden Forest than he does.

Hagrid filled the quiver, then took out a few small jars and a roll of silver-white hair from his cupboard, which he stuffed into his coat pocket, and then he took a piece of jerky and a bag full of liquid from the wall.

As Hagrid turned his head, he saw Love and Faulcy standing up in unison, barricaded in the doorway.

"I must go, you can't stop me." Hagrid thought that the two of them meant to keep themselves out of the troubled waters, but he clearly misunderstood.

"We're friends, Hagrid, so take us and we'll help you." Love said something that surprised Hagrid.

"You? And Fawkesi? You two will be the greatest help to stay here and take care of Noble for me. Hagrid rejected Love's offer because he was well aware of the dangers of the mission. His plan is to rely on his familiarity with the Forbidden Forest to find the injured unicorn before the poachers do, and if he encounters the mysterious poacher in the process, things will become uncontrollable.

"We can even hunt trolls, don't think we're ordinary little wizards." Faulksi said lightly that she had never lost when she was "sparring" within the academy.

Love thought so too, he, Hagrid and Faulcie, the three of them could form a very considerable combat force, plus the troll puppet in his hand, no existence could hurt them. Hagrid was his friend, and he couldn't leave Hagrid alone with those unknown dangers.

"Trolls?" Hagrid stared at the two little ones in front of him for a moment, "That troll on Halloween, did you solve it?" ”

"Yes." Love secretly said that it was not only to solve it, but they also made the troll a puppet.

"What two daring little devils." Hagrid sighed, he felt that it would be difficult to stop the two little ones with his own abilities. Even if he forced them to stay here, it was likely that the two of them would secretly follow, and it would be better for him to take them with him in the first place.

"Okay, you can act with me, but you must follow my orders, and the actions in the Forbidden Forest are dominated by me, which is a condition that must be accepted."

"Okay."

"No problem."

Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the assurances of the two, what he was most afraid of was that the two young men were arrogant and did not listen to his commands, and now it seemed that the two were willing to cooperate with him, so that it was easy to say anything.

He glanced at the sun outside and snorted.

"You two go back to school first, change into thicker cloaks, and bring a water bottle, the search will probably continue until late at night, and ventilate with your friends in advance, lest they report you to the professors if you don't return home at night—I must be crazy to be willing to condone you to break the school rules, and if you are caught, I am afraid that you will be detained fifty points, and you will be taken away for a confinement." The more Hagrid spoke, the more regretful he became, and as he said, he felt that he and the two little ones must be crazy.

"Okay, we'll see you in half an hour?"

"Well, let's go."

Love and Faucie immediately left Hagrid's hut to make preparations for entering the forest.

"Maybe I'll find the puppet I like." On the way back, Faucie said excitedly. Love's system also aptly released a mission:

[Side Quest: The work of a ranger.]

Description: Help Hagrid expel mysterious poachers and help unicorns relieve their pain]
