Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 364 The Curse of the Centaur

All the centaurs leaned on each other and moved restlessly, and the mothers with their foals still held their babies tightly in their arms.

Every now and then everyone looked up at the sky, maybe to see the track of Venus.Mo Lin was not very clear about the stars in the sky, and he couldn't understand those messy stars, but there was a tense atmosphere in the air.

"Professor, what is going on? What are they waiting for?" An Ran asked in a low voice.

"You'll find out later." Hagrid looked at the centaurs with great sympathy. He should know the situation of the centaurs. Hagrid was the only wizard who knew the centaurs best in Hogwarts.

No one spoke for a while, and the centaurs seemed to be waiting for the so-called "Venus to enter orbit". At a certain moment, there was a very panic and restlessness among the centaurs. Tightly hold the partner's hand.

Then a shrill sound pierced the night sky!
"Eeeeeeeee—"

It was the neighing of the centaur, the sound was extremely sharp, as if it was in great pain, it spread out among the woods, startling Mo Lin and the others.

They looked towards the source of the sound, and found that a gray-brown foal had fallen to the ground. He neighed miserably and kept grabbing his body, as if some insects were biting his body. His face was flushed, and he raised his fist to hit the ground from time to time, and hit the nearby trees with his head, making a palpitating sound.

All the centaurs took a step back in panic. Seeing that the pony was screaming, but no one came up to help, everyone seemed terrified.

"No--Kavin, my child..." A long-haired centaur was about to rush over. She seemed to be the mother of the foal, but Odea stopped her: "Let me come, Kay, you step back." back!"

"Odea, you know the consequences..." Ronan grabbed Odea's hand and said sternly.

"He is my child! I am willing to replace him!"

Odea's hoof stomped hard on the ground, a trace of determination appeared on his face, and without any hesitation, he broke free from Ronan's hand and rushed to grab Calvin.

Mo Lin and An Ran looked at each other, they couldn't understand the meaning of Odea and Ronan's words, but they soon understood.

The moment Odea touched Calvin's body, Odea's eyeballs bulged, and the veins on his forehead squirmed like worms. He screamed in pain, his huge body fell down, and his whole body crazily fell on the ground. Twisting, hooves restlessly trampling everything within his reach.

"Take Cavin away! Quick!" Odea yelled in pain.

Ronan quickly stretched out his hand and pulled Cavin up from the ground. Cavin had stopped convulsing, and he seemed to have passed out.But Odea was getting more and more painful, and his miserable cry was even more terrifying than that made by Calvin.

Odea's solid horseshoe kicked against the branch, and he made a big mark on the book, and the debris of the tree trunk splashed out, and he began to hit the tree trunk with his head desperately, and the skin on his head was already broken.

"What's wrong with him?" Maureen asked, standing up. "Why don't you guys help? He needs to stop hurting himself!"

"Can't help." Hagrid shook his head. "You can't even touch him. It's a very terrible curse. If you touch him, the pain will spread to you."

An Ran ran towards Calvin with some worry, she touched Calvin's forehead, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "He's fine, he just passed out from the pain."

After a while, An Ran asked anxiously again: "Then there is no other way?"

"We've tried everything."

Ronan shook his head and handed Cavin to Kavin's mother, Kai. Cavin's mother whimpered, hugged her child tightly, and looked at Odea who was struggling on the ground with heartache.

"No...Odea." Calvin's mother wiped her tears with helpless eyes.

"Save him, Miss An Ran, please save my husband." Kai begged.

"I don't know how to save him." An Ran was a little confused, she didn't even know how this curse came about.

"But Ronan said you can..." Kai cried.

"I didn't say it, but the astrology told us that An Ran can touch this curse." Ronan whispered.

"You want An Ran to touch it?" Mo Lin shook his head resolutely, "This is not allowed!"

Hagrid said angrily: "An Ran is just a child, how dare you have such an idea! What if something happens?"

"Sorry." Ronan said sadly, "If she doesn't want to try, we won't force it. We will protect any foal."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and only Odea's heart-piercing voice echoed in the woods.

An Ran hesitated for a moment, looked at Odea who was struggling crazily on the ground, and said, "How about I try it?"

"No, An Ran, this is not a practical homework in school. I dare not even touch this kind of curse. It can be passed on to us wizards! Last time I touched a cursed centaur, and the pain continued. I can't bear it." Hagrid still felt a little scared when he recalled that incident, "It's like Cruciatus!"

Mo Lin and An Ran looked at each other, Mo Lin knew what Cruciatus was, but An Ran didn't know, Mo Lin shook his head towards An Ran.

"Then how long will he be in pain?" Maureen asked Ronan.

"An hour to two hours." Ronan said sadly, "We Centaurs are haunted by a curse. Every night when Venus enters orbit, one of our people will be selected by the curse, causing great pain in the body. When there is another When a member of the clan touches it, the pain will spread to others. So no one wants to be entangled by the curse, let alone touch the clansman selected by the curse."

"Unless the chosen one is our child." Fizelen sighed beside him, "Like Cavin tonight, unfortunately he was chosen, and Odea can only bear the pain instead of his son."

Odea screamed endlessly. He voluntarily touched Calvin's body and suffered for his son.

"What kind of curse is this..." Mo Lin couldn't help being surprised, this curse could be so terrifying?
Listening to Odea's distorted crying, An Ran couldn't bear to say: "What if? I mean what if? Maybe the astrology is right, isn't it? Molin."

"That's not necessarily true. There are times when the astrology is wrong." Mo Lin said seriously.This is what he understands the most, because he has never faced such a thing as astrology in front of him.

Odea's voice was heart-piercing, his powerful hooves had already kicked a big hole in the branch of a big tree, the tree could no longer keep its balance, and fell down with a click, and a centaur With quick eyes and hands, he quickly supported the big tree and pushed the big tree to the other side.

It was only then that Mo Lin realized that there were many big trees that had just broken in this open space. This kind of pain had not happened once or twice in the tribe of the centaur.

"Odea saved us, Mo Lin, I think we should help him, isn't the purpose of our coming here to help them?" An Ran said seriously.

Mo Lin certainly didn't want An Ran to take risks, but many horsemen around looked at An Ran earnestly, and they all thought that An Ran could help them tide over this difficulty.

He glanced at Odea again. A centaur as strong as Odea would be tortured by this curse. This curse is really terrible.
