Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 369 The Source of the Divination Curse

"All right! All right! Whatever arcturus and pentagram you want to shine, just shine!" Hagrid didn't want to ask what that meant, because it was useless to ask, so he stretched out his big hand and patted An Ran: "Then when did you find out? Enron?"

"After the things in the Black Rubik's Cube captured An Ran that day, we suddenly realized it, but Odea didn't know this at that time. He drove An Ran and Maureen out of the Forbidden Forest." Ronan said.

Odea lowered his head, he had been wandering around the edge of the Forbidden Forest for a while, just looking for an opportunity to invite An Ran, but because they accidentally hurt the students last time, Hagrid didn't allow them to get close to the students.

"We looked at the stars and found that Enron can help us fight this curse." Ronan said quietly: "The punishment is to warn us to get back the Black Rubik's Cube quickly, but this punishment also makes our entire tribe weak, so If we go on, we will have no more energy to subdue the things in the Forbidden Forest, so we can only ask An Ran for help."

"Wouldn't it be better for you to tell this secret earlier? You hide it from me every time." Hagrid said, "If you made it clear earlier, I would have gone to An Ran earlier."

"We didn't want to involve you, Hagrid." Fizeren shook his head.

"Then is the divination curse lifted now?" An Ran asked.

"We don't know. Divination curses happen every day." Ronan became uneasy again, "One clansman will be punished every night, and the punishment will stop in about an hour. We can't be sure whether the curse is lifted now."

"But where did this divination curse come from?"

Mo Lin looked around and found that many centaurs were coming towards the bonfire. He turned his head to look at the bonfire in front of him. The golden flame kept beating, as if bringing hope to people.

The smoky air above the bonfire forms various shapes. The centaurs will divination based on the smoke formed by burning different plants. This bonfire must usually be their most important tool for divination.

Mo Lin asked suspiciously: "The source of the divination curse is not this bonfire, is it?"

He really couldn't think of any curse that could last that long. Magic also needs to rely on certain things to exist, and it cannot be illusory.The bonfire of the Centaurs has been burning since their tribe lived in the Forbidden Forest, and it probably has a long history. If there are any divination curses that will fall on the Centaurs, then there is only this bonfire that cannot be extinguished. .

Ronan and Fizelun didn't seem to hear Maureen's words, they just looked at the flame, and the flame reflected in their eyes, obviously so sacred.

Maureen realized something.

"You already knew, didn't you?" Mo Lin asked in surprise.The centaurs are so familiar with divination, and this punishment is a curse from divination, it is impossible for them to be unaware of this.

"This is the fire for the continuation of our race, more important than the lives of all of us." Ronan said softly.

All the centaurs neighed slightly, and none of them expressed dissatisfaction with the bonfire, even though they all knew that the divination curse came from the bonfire.The respect for the bonfire has been deeply rooted in the bones of every centaur. They have been taught since childhood that this is something that needs to be guarded with their lives.

"What a brain." Mo Lin muttered.

"You centaurs are usually on guard, and you know divination magic. If anyone comes to steal from you, you should know in advance, right?" Hagrid picked up another branch and threw it into the bonfire. He took off his gloves again. Down, roasted in hand over the campfire.

Fei Zelun said in a deep voice: "We were deceived."

"Then you should have seen who this wizard is?" Hagrid put his face close to the campfire again, letting his shaggy and icy beard bake, and he covered his own beard with his hands to save the beard. on fire.

Hagrid said again: "If you have seen it, we can ask other people, and maybe we can find it."

Ronan said in a low voice: "We don't know, he has great abilities, we haven't even seen what he looks like, and now he is shrouded in a layer of mist, although he doesn't exist at all like Molin, But I can't get rid of the fog."

Ronan glanced at Molin. In their eyes, Molin seemed to be transparent.

"Old witch!" Mo Lin suddenly said.

"What?" Hagrid and the others turned to look at Molin.

Mo Lin rummaged through his pocket for a while. He originally wanted to find a photo of Lucas being wanted, but found that he didn't bring it with him: "I know who the person who snatched the Black Rubik's Cube is, his name is Lucas , you centaurs can’t divination Lucas’s whereabouts because he has a very powerful arithmetic fortune teller as his assistant.”

"Arithmetic?" Ronan frowned. Although he tried his best to conceal it, Maureen could still hear a hint of arrogance and contempt in his tone: "I don't remember any wizards who can deceive the world."

"This just shows how powerful she is! There are many powerful fortune tellers among wizards—" Maureen immediately thought of Mrs. Rhea, but then he thought of Professor Victor, Magatha, and the old witch. Then he added: "—and the Arithmetic! If you centaurs don't see these wizards, it means they're good enough to keep you from seeing them. I've only seen a few."

Many centaurs moved slightly in place. The centaurs were extremely confident in their divination magic, and seemed to disagree with Mo Lin's words, but out of politeness, they did not express it clearly this time.

"If you're talking about Trelawney from Hogwarts—" Ronan voiced some doubts.

"Oh, I'm not talking about her." Mo Lin shook his head, "In fact, she is also very powerful, although I heard that most of them are inaccurate, but the accurate predictions are all big predictions - but I don't mean her, there are others more reliable than her Good fortune tellers and arithmetic fortune tellers, such as the old hag I saw at the Muggle Opera House last time, she is enough to hide from your eyes."

Maureen had certainly seen the old witch's arithmetic and divination magic before. Although it didn't work for him, it was different for other people.With her help, Lucas, plus Payngade's guidance and messy black magic items, he is at home, and it is not a big deal to steal the Black Rubik's Cube from the heavily guarded centaur who can divination.

"Ronan, you should admit that there are indeed people in human beings who are not weaker than us in divination magic." Fizelun said, "Although we have seen many secrets, it does not mean that we are the only ones who know the secrets."

Ronan's eyes flickered twice, and he decided that he didn't want to continue arguing on this topic. He asked, "Then you've seen this person, haven't you? You just said you have his photo?"

"Yes, if you want to know what this man looks like, tomorrow or sometime, I can bring you a picture of him—"

"Please be sure to bring the photo." Ronan said solemnly, and he set his eyes on the bonfire: "We only saw the shadow covered by the fog, but if there are specific photos, we can use the kindling to find out his identity." whereabouts!"

"Your bonfire?" Mo Lin was a little suspicious.

"The fire has been burning for so many years, and the accumulated divination magic is far beyond your imagination." Ronan said.
