Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 291 The Centaur and the Dwarf

The sound of countless arrows came from the sky again, and there seemed to be a huge figure jumping in the black smoke. The night was too dark, and Mo Lin couldn't see what that huge figure looked like. He thought it was Hagrid at first. , but Hagrid was nearly four meters tall, and this figure was not as huge as Hagrid.

There was a sound of horseshoes around the woods, and countless majestic horsemen rushed out of the forest. Each horsemen had a yellow lamp hanging on their shoulders, with serious expressions on their dark and rough faces, and their bows and arrows had been drawn. Zhi Manxian, facing the receding black smoke, was ready to go.

"What should happen will happen."

The strange figure was pushed down by the huge figure, and then disappeared into the forest.

"This shouldn't have happened!" The leading brown-haired centaur shouted in a low voice towards the dark woods ahead.

But all the black smoke dissipated quickly and disappeared.

Mo Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had never had contact with the centaur before, it was the centaur who came to save them this time. In his understanding, the centaur should have no ill intentions towards them.

"Thank you." Mo Lin asked the leading centaur, "What is that?"

"Dangerous things." The leader of the centaur said, the muscles on his face seemed to be carved out by a knife, with sharp edges and corners, comparable to a statue, and a pair of brown eyes stared at Mo Lin.

"Yes, very dangerous."

A muffled sound came from behind Mo Lin, which startled Mo Lin. The sound was like thunder rolling, rumbling into his ears.

Mo Lin turned around quickly, and with the help of the light hanging on the shoulder of the centaur, he looked in surprise at a giant over two meters in front of him.

But this is not a normal giant, because its whole body is made of white granite, and it is very irregularly formed into a human shape more than two meters high, and there are some grass and moss growing in the joints.

"This is... a stone man?" An Ran exclaimed.

Mo Lin and An Ran looked at each other, not to mention An Ran, even Mo Lin had never heard of stone men living in the Forbidden Forest.Although the usual Hagrid was bigger than this person, Hagrid had flesh and blood after all, and this one in front of him was completely stone.

"Oh, I'm not a stone man." The stone man said again in a low voice.

"Then... what is that?" Mo Lin couldn't help asking.

The stone all over the stone man's body suddenly rolled and opened from the middle, as if there was a door in front of its chest, and a solid-looking dwarf was sitting on the stone man's chest.

This dwarf was only a little over one meter long, wearing green leather clothes, with a thick yellow beard on his face, and a pair of big black eyes turning around, looking at Mo Lin.

"My name is Dashan, dwarf." Dashan greeted Molin happily. His voice was not as loud as before, but it was still very rich and thick, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

Maureen had heard of dwarves, and there were giants and dwarves in the wizarding world.Giants are generally more ferocious and warlike. They fight every day except sleeping and eating. Now they are almost extinct. During the reign of Voldemort, giants also joined the battle.But dwarves are just the opposite of giants. Dwarves are honest, smart, and brave, but the wizarding world has never heard much about dwarves.

But a dwarf called Dashan is a strange name indeed.

"Molin, Maureen Walker." Molin introduced himself, and pointed to An Ran behind him: "Her name is An Ran, and we are all from Hogwarts."

An Ran looked curiously at the mountain behind Mo Lin, and then at the centaur. She was obviously very interested in these strange-looking companions, and she had no chance to see them in the Muggle world before.

"I can't see you." The leading centaur stared at Mo Lin, and has been looking at Mo Lin since just now.

"Huh? Odea, what are you talking about?" Dashan asked strangely, "Who can't you see? This little boy?"

The centaur called Odea still didn't leave Molin's eyes. His eyes were like blades, as if he wanted to cut Molin open, making Molin feel uncomfortable.

"I can't see you," repeated Odea.

The horseman behind also had a little restlessness. The horse's hooves scratched the ground twice, and seven or eight horseman's eyes fell on Mo Lin.

"Why can't you see it?" Dashan touched his head honestly, and asked in confusion: "There are two Hogwarts children here, a boy and a girl, aren't they? Odea, you are short-sighted Is it? I never heard that you centaurs are also short-sighted."

An Ran also asked Mo Lin in a low voice: "Why is he talking like that?"

Mo Lin shook his head, he didn't understand why the centaur spoke to him like that.

Odea looked up at the stars in the sky, and after the black smoke left, he could already see faintly twinkling stars when he looked up.But Odea looked at the night sky for a while, and suddenly his face became very frightened.

The six or seven centaur behind him also seemed uneasy, and two of the centaur neighed in a low voice, which was very clear in the quiet Forbidden Forest.

"Who are you?" Odea asked sharply.

"My name is Maureen Walker." Maureen spread his hands and said, "A second-year student at Hogwarts."

"I can't see you." Another centaur behind Odea also said in a voice as thick as copper.

All the centaurs stared at Mo Lin closely, their eyes were very unfriendly, as if they were looking at a dangerous monster, they would only repeat this sentence.

"You should leave the Forbidden Forest!" Odea pawed the ground anxiously twice, blowing up a burst of dirt and rotten leaves and branches, "We don't welcome you."

Dashan asked strangely: "Odea, what's the matter? The two of them are just...according to your words, the calf, isn't it? That guy in the dark obviously wants to catch the calf, and we should protect them."

"It's different, Dashan, you dwarves don't understand."

Odea's front hooves were raised slightly, with a very impatient expression, Mo Lin hurriedly took An and then took two steps back, it would not be a joke if the strong horse's hoof kicked him.

"Okay! Okay! Then I'll take them out, they're just babies." Da Shan frowned, and waved to Mo Lin and An Ran, "This way."

The huge stone man sitting on Dashan turned sideways, waved his big thick hands, and beckoned to Mo Lin and An Ran: "Sit up, it's faster this way."

The two big hands of the stone man were seriously disproportionate to the body, spread out like a big chair, Mo Lin hesitated, and sat on the palm of the stone man with An Ran.

"Thank you." Mo Lin waved his wand again, and chanted a spell: "Flying broom."

There was a whistling sound from the Forbidden Forest, and then the Gale Skyhawk, which was snatched by the black smoke just now, jumped out of the darkness and landed in front of Mo Lin.

"It's a good thing it wasn't broken."

Maureen swept the fallen leaves and dirt off the broom, and put the broom flat behind him. There was no need to ride the flying broom at this time.

"Did you have any problems with the horse people before?" Da Shan looked at Mo Lin strangely.

"No, this is the first time I've seen a centaur." Mo Lin replied honestly.

"That's strange, the centaur will not hurt the calf, even the wizard." Da Shan blinked his dark eyes, not quite understanding.

Mo Lin still had a lot of doubts in his mind, but those centaurs were still staring at Mo Lin. Thinking of the incident of the centaur shooting and wounding a student a few days ago, he decided to leave with Dashan first.
