Hogwarts: Harry Potter and the Glock 18.

Chapter 86 The Green Light of Death Scattered Like a Cobweb
Harry, who was surrounded by thestrals, walked in the Forbidden Forest for a long time. The Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts was actually not so big hundreds of years ago, because before that, the Forbidden Forest was not as peaceful as it is now. .

Every rich and magical natural wonder is fat in the eyes of poachers. Although magical creatures are difficult to deal with, their value is completely worth the risk of hunting for these guys. Some people do the business of losing their heads, but no one does. It is a loss-making business, even if hunting magical creatures is very risky, those poachers are happy to do it.

The Forbidden Forest, which has been in a state of chaos, naturally cannot expand itself. However, a hundred years ago, due to some reasons that have not been recorded in the history books, the number of poachers in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts dropped sharply. The poachers here were wiped out in a very short period of time, and no one can tell exactly what happened.

Whether it is "Modern Important Events in the Magic World" or "Hogwarts-A School History", these historical books did not record what happened in the Forbidden Forest.

It seems that people have deliberately forgotten something, and it seems that the blank past is so heavy that books cannot bear it.

The reason why Hagrid was able to complete the purge of the Forbidden Forest was, to be honest, thanks to the fact that the Forbidden Forest at that time did not have as many and rampant poachers as before.

Hagrid, who only has 90.00% resistance of giants, his defense power is far inferior to his destructive power. As long as he is not approached, it is not impossible to defeat Hagrid, even if it is a real giant. They can't escape the bloody siege of many poachers.

The place where thestrals took Harry was a little strange to him, because this area was where Hagrid didn't take him. The Forbidden Forest occupies a very large area, especially after there is no chaos and a hundred years of recuperation. Compared with before, the range has expanded by at least three times. The more prosperous the forest, the more magical creatures there are, and the less fighting there is, the more magic power will be accumulated in it. As wonders of the world, they can grow a little bit. big.

Although there is a limit to such growth, the current Forbidden Forest has reached the upper limit of expansion. Although this upper limit can be increased slowly, the speed is so slow that a decade or a century is the minimum basic unit.

Harry saw some shadows of ruins. Those ruins were not all collapsed houses, but some were huge iron cages. The hard skulls had not completely decayed. Li, this is the most powerful and largest group of giants - the skull of the Cyclops.

It can grow to be nearly 30 meters high, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can deal with. peaceful.

Thestrals passed the half-buried skull and led Harry onward.

They passed a huge human ruin. If they guessed correctly, it should be the remains of a certain village. There used to be more than one village of Hogsmeade around Hogwarts. At that time, Hogsmeade was divided into The upper and lower parts, but with the expansion of the Forbidden Forest, the village of Lower Hogsmeade, which was gradually swallowed by the forest, was abandoned and abandoned, and the villagers went to the more prosperous and rich Upper Hogsmeade Village. The merger was completed years ago.

Harry wasn't sure if this was the site of the former Lower Hogsmeade village. After all, many villages had been swallowed up by the expansion of the Forbidden Forest, and he had come a long way.

But the Thestrals didn't stop. After crossing the ruins of the village hidden in the Forbidden Forest, they led Harry to a deeper place.

After about a quarter of an hour, the Thestrals stopped.

This place seems to be their breath, the dense skeletons are left by some giant beast, and the ribs that are almost four or five meters long outline a huge figure, and in this place where there are many bones, there are Thestrals My favorite homeland, although they are not ominous, nor do they represent bad luck, but thestrals are indeed magical creatures that are very close to death.

Whether it's their resemblance to a skinned skeleton or the fact that they are only visible to those who have seen death, the docile and intelligent Thestrals have been associated with death since birth.

Harry got off the horse and looked around with some doubts. He didn't understand why thestrals brought him here. The thestrals that bit his robe first walked in front of Harry, and Harry was puzzled. When it was time, it turned its head and looked back, as if to let Harry follow him on.

They passed the skeleton of a giant beast, and after seeing the huge purple unicorn, Harry suddenly remembered a name——Purple Horn Beast.

This is a very rare magical creature. The Purple Horned Beast, which is almost equal to the land tank, has a height of six or seven meters and weighs more than 20 tons. Their terrifying brute force and terrible magic resistance make them have few enemies. , the huge purple horn is a precious magic material. The purple horn with its own armor-piercing, highly poisonous, corrosive, and seriously injured can be widely used in war pharmacy, although potionists have found many corresponding substitutes. No matter what, their horns are worth a thousand dollars.

Harry unceremoniously packed this horn, which had already shown many signs of decay, but was still full of purple, into the dragon skin backpack. There was only a small piece of purple horn no bigger than an arm in Snape's potion warehouse. The Horned Beast Horn, the one Harry got by the way was at least thirty or forty times the size of Snape's.

Thestrals waited for Harry for a while, and it didn't mind that Harry took a little home decoration. Thestrals only eat meat, they don't chew bones.

After walking through the corpse field, a ruin completely covered in moss and vines appeared in front of Harry.

Suddenly, a strange feeling appeared in Harry's heart. In the black and green ruins in front of him, Harry seemed to feel something calling him.

It was a very cordial feeling, and the magic power in his body seemed to be a little ready to move at this moment.

"Is it here?"

Harry stroked the Thestral's smooth head, and the dragon-headed Pegasus nodded slightly.

The Thestrals who just knelt down seemed to only intend to bring Harry here, and Harry, who walked forward alone, carefully drew out his wand. Although he subconsciously told himself that nothing would happen, necessary precautions were still needed.

This ruin seems a little unusual. Although the progress of magic does not rely on archaeology, it has to be mentioned that the ancient magic relics have indeed revealed to all the wizards in the world the terrifying and magnificent side of the once magical world. It's very rough, the ancient magic that can only be used by flying bricks with great force is not something that wizards can do now, but the pure violence is still a moving force.

Harry suspected that the ruins in front of him were some ancient magic relics. Although the possibility was very low, after all, thousands of years had passed, and the magic relics exposed on the surface could not withstand the brilliance of such a long time. The general outline can still be seen in front of the ruins, and Dingtian has been abandoned for two to three hundred years, so it cannot be a product of thousands of years ago.

"Could it be the traces left by the poachers before?"

The extremely rampant poachers had countless strongholds in the Forbidden Forest at that time, and many of them were built into small castles to provide services for dirty black and gray transactions. If this is the case, the time is barely enough match.

"Fractured!"

Harry pulled the trigger, and under the effect of the Cutting Curse, the vines were smashed and cleared, and the sound of rocks collapsing continued. He had never thought about being careful about archaeology, and he used the most convenient and brutal method, tearing up After passing the outermost ruined wall, Harry saw a dark space covered with mushroom moss.

But this darkness is for ordinary people. In Harry's field of vision, he saw dim silver-gray smoke rising like steam. As Harry kept getting closer, the thin, almost invisible smoke gradually became thicker. When he got up, a small vortex appeared on the mossy ground, a small black and silver vortex formed by the convergence of silver-gray smoke.

A wave of magic power that made Harry feel very friendly came from the black and silver vortex. It was purer and more concentrated than the silver-gray magic power in his body, and could be called the real ancient magic power.

Perhaps what flowed in my mother's body was this kind of pure ancient magic power, far beyond that of ordinary wizards, a powerful power that others could not understand.

If the blue magic power of ordinary wizards is water, then this black and silver ancient magic power is mercury.

"Fluorescent flashes."

A ball of light flew out from the muzzle of Harry's gun, and the soft white light illuminated the dark moss-covered ruins. The dilapidated wooden seats were almost completely decayed, and there were densely packed houses that were also decayed by time. At least hundreds of broken corpses.

Those magic cloths that have not yet been reduced to ashes wrap the rotten and blackened bones so that they will not completely fall apart. Hundreds of empty eye sockets seem to be dead after a long time. They were randomly discarded here after being killed , and the executioner who did it all.
The black and silver vortex fluctuated slightly, and Harry was already within two meters of it. When Harry really got close, the waving vortex suddenly expanded, and a gray-white world suddenly opened in front of Harry!

It was a crowded market full of swear words and curses. Hundreds of wizards traded goods here. Countless magical creatures were kept in cages waiting to be sold, and more of them were turned into broken corpses. , They were stripped of the most valuable parts and became goods traded at countless stalls.

While the exact time is unknown, it must be some part of the history where poachers were rampant.

"Avada Kedavra!"

With a cold drink without any emotion, a tragic green light exploded in front of Harry. This mournful light of death broke the monotony of the black and white world, and endowed this historical memory with a touch of vivid color.

It was like what Harry saw in his dream when he was resting at Hogwarts for the first time, scattered like a spider web, far better than Voldemort's death killing a hundred times!

I just wanted to squint for a while, but I didn't expect it to be 3 o'clock in the blink of an eye. Here is 3K. I will write the remaining chapter after I wake up. With the promised addition, I will update 4 chapters later.
