Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

The three of them were busy for a while.

The unicorn Anderson got up from the ground panting.

He nodded towards the unicorn that fell on the ground.

He wanted to lift his feet and leave, but hesitated for a while, and then kept yelling at Ogg.

In the end, he glanced at Luna with sympathy and gratitude before leaving without looking back.

Inexplicable... just grateful, what does sympathy mean?

Picking up the unicorn that was full of ashes and decay on the ground, the two daughters looked at it repeatedly but did not see why.

"Mr. Auger, what's the matter?"

In the end, it was Luna who spoke and woke up Ogg who was standing still.

"I was worried about Anderson's health, but he said he was fine..."

Ogg didn't finish his sentence, he was still thinking about the meaning of Anderson's series of complicated calls at the end.The sounds that unicorns make are not words, but sounds that contain their emotions.

"Is it okay to just break off the unicorn's horn?"

Luna looked worried, and the little unicorn in Alice's arms saw his father leave, with both worry and reluctance in his eyes.

In the end, he struggled and fell to the ground, and licked the palm of the second daughter who bent down.

Then bid farewell to the second daughter and followed in the footsteps of his father.

"Generally speaking, it is normal for unicorns to shed their horns. Only by shedding can they grow longer and more beautiful horns."

Ogg came back to his senses and took the horn from Luna.

"But this time, Anderson's unicorn was severely interrupted by backlash. I checked his body, and there was no other damage."

After a pause, Ogg continued.

"Luna, in the end Anderson still said that he owed you a big favor. With this divination, their group is truly safe."

"Also, your fate should have ended tragically. However, Anderson said that you will meet someone who will change your fate. And the prophecies after that are beyond his ability. Unicorns are good at blessings rather than prophecies. He left the fragment on this broken horn. To decipher it, we need professional fortune tellers."

After a pause, Ogg spoke in a difficult tone.

"We need to find the Centaur to help us decipher!"

Centaurs are magical creatures whose upper half is humanoid and the lower half is that of a horse.However, they themselves are a species, not half-human, half-beast caused by out-of-control hybrid magic.

Despite being as intelligent as humans, the centaurs asked the British Ministry of Magic to classify them as "beasts" because they didn't want to share their human identity with creatures like hags and vampires.

However, the Ministry of Magic still considers the centaurs to be magical creatures with "human intelligence" according to the second paragraph of the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control Division No. 15.

The horsemen consider this a great insult.

The Ministry of Magic's Division for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures still has a centaur liaison office, but practically no centaurs use it.

In fact, "sent to the horseman liaison office" has become an inside joke in the department, implying that the person mentioned is about to be fired.

The above is the information that Luna and Alice know from books.

"They seem to be very unfriendly to wizards. Are they really not going to make things difficult for us little ponies?"

Elise spoke self-deprecating words, and it seemed that she had an unfriendly impression of the centaur.

Luna also looked a little ugly, she cast her eyes on Ogg, and asked Ogg to decide whether it is suitable for the three of them to ask the centaur for help.

"It's not a big problem. They have a good relationship with me, the guard of the Forbidden Forest. They can still help with some small favors."

"Well, but you'd better put away your wands, they don't like wizards flailing their wands in front of them."

"They advocate natural magic, and believe that magic with the help of a wand is an insult to magic."

...

If Xifa is here, will he and the horse people become good friends?All cast spells without a stick.

Thinking of the tall centaur standing with the not yet fully grown Xifa.

Alice burst out laughing, facing Luna's puzzled eyes, she spoke out her thoughts.

Thus, the two girls laughed together.

Ogg led the way, and he heard the innocent laughter of the two girls behind him, and his depressed mood due to the prophecy was relieved.

The way to find the centaur is much more difficult than coming to the unicorn, and there are many deadly traps laid out in it.

"The horse people think that the Forbidden Forest is their territory, and they are obliged to install gates to their houses."

After disarming a rolling mechanism, Ogg said to the angry second daughter.

Because, every time a mechanism is cracked, it takes a while.

rustling --

The footsteps of the three of them stepped on fallen leaves and weeds, which were very clear in this quiet forest.

...

Something was wrong, and Luna's sixth sense suddenly broke out after experiencing a life-and-death crisis with Xifa.

Silently, she approached Elise and asked her to draw out her wand.

Elise gave her a confused look, but took out her wand trustingly.

At this time-

"It's so quiet..."

Ogg stopped suddenly, before he finished speaking.

There was a whistling sound of wind in the woods.

A crossbow arrow shot towards Luna.

Luna, who had already been prepared, threw a crackling explosion in front of her.

Let the explosive impact of the spell bounce the bolts away.

Armor protection?

Stop messing around, do you know if there is a shield breaking spell on this arrow?

This is Xifa's warning to the second daughter again and again after learning that the armor curse is not omnipotent.

Don't always think about armor spells, there are too many black magics that can easily penetrate armor spells of the same level.

Successfully flicked the arrow aside.

Luna's eyes were serious, she thought of what Xifa said, the counterattack must be decisive.

So, she threw a few powerful Bone Crushing Curses in the direction where the crossbow arrows came from.

Luna has done this, and Alice will naturally stare aside.

Only Aoge, holding a crossbow, guarded the surroundings for the two of them.

After a series of firepower coverage, one tree after another fell in front of him.

Feeling almost done, the two stopped at the same time.

So far, there seems to be no other sound except the occasional cracking sound of the trees.

"who?!"

Ogg has been in the Forbidden Forest all year round, and besides, he is also tall, so naturally his vigilance is far more sensitive than the second daughter.

The second girl quickly turned her gaze to the direction that Ogg was facing.

The voice fell for a while, and in the hearing of the two girls, there was the sound of footsteps touching fallen leaves in front of them.

The existence in front did not stop to answer, but continued to move forward.

It's near, it's coming out!Elise's nervous palms were full of sweat. This was her first time facing a battle.

Amidst her pounding heart, a figure appeared from the darkness.

"Gerrod, were you attacking us just now?"

Ogg obviously knew the horse man in front of him, he didn't put down the hand crossbow in his hand, and asked with a frown.

"Ogg, I never thought that you would bring two ponies and point your weapon at me."

The centaur Girod held a crossbow without arrows in his hand, and said to Ogg with a sad face.

"answer me!"

Ogg didn't waver in the slightest, because he brought two little wizards with him, and the victim was also the second daughter, so he didn't dare to be careless.

"It was a crossbow arrow shot by another assassin. I just happened to meet him and shot an arrow at him, but he dodged it."

Hearing this, Ogg frowned, not knowing whether what the centaur Gerald said was true or not.

Although horse people disdain to tell lies, there is nothing wrong with being cautious at this time.

After all, the centaur Girod came from the direction of the attack, and his timing was too coincidental.

"Mr. Ogg, what Gerald said should be true. Look at his crossbow hole, he can't shoot such a thick arrow."

Luna saw Ogg confronting the centaur Gerald, and the centaur Gerald seemed to have no intention of attacking.

She first observed the centaur Girod's crossbow, and then observed the arrows stuck on the ground not far away, and said softly to Ogg.

Ogg heard the words, observed it, and found that it was true.

So he put down the crossbow in his hand and apologized to the centaur Girod.

"Sorry, my friend, there are two students here and I have to be vigilant."

The centaur Gerald shook his head and said nothing.

I don't know if he accepted Ogg's apology that he didn't care, or if he was still grieving about being pointed at by a friend with a weapon.

"So, Gerald, can you take us to your camp, I have something to ask you."

Ogg didn't think much about it, he just thought that the centaur Gerald meant to turn over the matter just now.So he asked Gerald the centaur for the three of them.

The centaur Gerald experienced some ideological struggle, and finally, he said softly.

"Recently, Mars in the sky is extraordinarily bright. A dark shadow is approaching us, and the darkness will swallow us."

"what?"

The three of them were a little confused by the horseman's thoughtless words.

"If you don't mind our poor hospitality, come on. Please don't wander around in the camp. Some people in the tribe today are quite anxious."

With the guidance of the centaur Gerald, the three traveled smoothly.

Half an hour later, the group came to a simple camp.

Simple wooden walls, which are full of wooden houses made of planks and straws.

At the intersection, there are several bonfires scattered, which are used for lighting or boiling water and other daily needs.

The entire camp was quiet, except for a few activities, there was no other communication, and a tense atmosphere prevailed.

The two girls couldn't help snuggling together.

At the door, a few horsemen polishing arrows looked at the three of them vigilantly.

After discovering that it was an acquaintance Ogg and two little wizards.

They just nodded and said hello, then continued to lower their heads and busy with their own affairs.

After passing most of the camp, the three of them came to a relatively remote place.

"The interpretation of the unicorn's prophecy, the best in our camp is Ronald, I don't know if he is in the camp now."

The centaur Girod brought the three of them to a wooden house and introduced them.

"Ronald! Are you there? We need your help!"

cried Gerald the centaur.

"It's so noisy! Let me take a break, okay! Wait? Us? Who else but you?"

It is different from the polite manner of speaking of the centaur Gerald.

Ronald the Centaur was clearly short-tempered and seemed repulsive of outsiders.

Accompanied by cursing words, the red-haired centaur came out of the house.

Horse people's hair color determines their character?Alice and Luna looked at the blond-haired Girod and then at the red-haired Ronald, thinking in unison.

"Ogg? What do you want from me? A centaur will never agree to your rude request!"

"You misunderstood, Ronald, this time I'm not here to argue with you about the ownership of the Forbidden Forest. I'm here to ask you to interpret the prophecy left by the unicorn."

Ogg clenched his fists, as if recalling some unbearable experience.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a muffled voice.

"The centaur! Yes! Absolutely impossible! Work for wizards!"

Ronald the centaur said that he didn't want to hear it. He roared loudly, which naturally attracted some centaurs in the distance to point and point.

But it seems that this scene often happens, and they have no intention of surrounding them to persuade them to fight.

"Calm down, Ronald."

The centaur Gerald reached out to stop the centaur Ronald, and then explained.

"The prophecy interpreted this time is about this little pony, we can't make things difficult for the little pony."
