Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Dudley put away the revolver and pulled Harry behind him. The centaurs were not an evil race, but they were somewhat unfriendly to humans. Perhaps it was because humans had greatly compressed their living environment. The forbidden forest surrounded by powerful forces makes their home not only their prison.

Two centaurs walked over slowly with spears in hand, their eyes revealing complex information.

Dudley took a closer look and saw that the two centaurs looked quite different. One was as strong as an ox, with a face full of flesh, and even an animal skin coat could not hide his large muscles. He looked wild and proud; He is much more "delicate", with a well-proportioned figure, platinum hair and a neatly trimmed beard. If he were a human, he would be a bit handsome.

Dudley immediately guessed the identity of this "delicate" centaur. He should be Firenze, the centaur who appeared many times in the novel. He also served as the divination professor at Hogwarts when Harry was in fifth grade.

"Students of Hogwarts should not appear in the Forbidden Forest at this time!" The stocky centaur said in a deep voice. His face was full of displeasure, as if his territory had been invaded.

Firenze was more peaceful. When he saw the corpses of no less than ten soldier spiders in the ravine, his eyes were a little surprised.

"I'm sorry if it disturbed the noble centaur's peace at night..." Dudley bowed slightly to them. Dudley was not a fool like Malfoy who always offended people. He was the one who pulled together all the forces that could be united. One of the purposes of the special operations brigade.

Dudley's respectful attitude made the centaurs feel respected, and the stout centaur's expression relaxed slightly. They didn't hate wizards, they just wanted to be treated fairly, but they didn't know that ordinary wizards not only faced "subhumans" The species is inherently arrogant, and treats Muggles who don't know magic with contempt.

"As far as I know... Hogwarts does not allow students to hunt in the Forbidden Forest, and you seem to have used... some kind of black magic." Firenze said slowly.

"Sorry, I need some venom to prepare the potion. After all, the ones on the market are too expensive." Dudley looked bitter and helpless.

He actually didn't care whether the centaurs believed it or not. He read another meaning from Firenze's eyes, that is, they hated Acromantula very much.Think about it, the Forbidden Forest is not small as a park, but as the habitat of the centaurs tribe, it is too small. In the past few decades, the Acromantula has taken away a large piece of forest land from the centaurs. They can be described as mortal enemies.

"I am willing to share the spoils with the distinguished centaurs..." Dudley pointed to the spider corpse in the ravine and said: "In addition, I plan to clean up the spider problem every month. I hope the distinguished centaurs will allow it. "

His words seemed to treat the centaur as the owner of the Forbidden Forest, which greatly benefited the stout centaur. When they heard that he would come every month in the future, the two centaurs were even a little happy.

Firenze put the spear on his back, pulled out a knife, and said with a smile: "In return, the centaur will help the wizard take out the venom. That thing is difficult to preserve, so you have to do it as soon as possible."

Dudley politely stepped aside. He quite recognized Firenze's character (or horse character). The novel described him as being close to human wizards and being a rare rationalist and scholar among centaurs.Later, he was ostracized by his companions for helping humans, let’s not mention it for now.

"It scared me to death... I thought he was going to pursue it..." Harry whispered as he watched the two centaurs skillfully help them ingest the venom.Although he never said it, Harry still regarded Dudley's Gun Contract as a rare black magic. After all, it was too lethal.

"They wish I could kill all the eight-eyed spiders..." Dudley muttered. He took a look at the completion status of the mission and received 10 crispy spider legs (excellent), indicating that he had completed 5 Revenant Hunter missions. Maybe The system does not classify many large spiders as "adult", but this does not matter.

[Crispy Spider Legs (Excellent): Eat a hearty meal and recover 30% of your physical strength, and speed up wound recovery by 20%. ]

Having been busy for most of the night, Dudley and Harry were already so hungry that their chests were touching their backs. Dudley generously took out four spider legs and shared them with Harry and the Centaur. After going back and forth, the four of them became very familiar with each other. , the stout centaur also introduced himself to them. He is Bain, the new leader of the centaur tribe. Although he is not as friendly as Firenze, he is reasonable at least.

About 8 ounces of venom were taken out from the spider corpse. Calculating, Dudley still lost more than half of it. It can only be said to be better than nothing. However, Dudley had other gains. During the conversation with Bane, his armory manual suddenly popped up. new tips.

[Open the reputation system and talk to the leaders of some organizations in the magical world to open the corresponding reputation. ]

[Activate the reputation of the Silvermane tribe (neutral level): The centaurs tribe living in the west of the Forbidden Forest respects nature and believes in shamanism. ]

[Activate Blunt Hammer Clan Reputation (Hate Level): The Giant Clan living on the northern edge of the Forbidden Forest has not appeared in front of humans for many years, but often has territorial disputes with the Silver Mane Tribe]

He actually said a few words to Bain and directly opened the reputation of two forces, which made Dudley particularly novel. He silently checked the details about the reputation. Almost every time he increased his reputation by one level, he could get rewards from the corresponding forces. You will also receive help from friendly forces during the battle.However, the system did not directly issue tasks to improve reputation, and it seemed that Dudley needed to discover it himself.

The two current reputations correspond to the centaurs and giants in the Forbidden Forest respectively. These two races are hostile to each other. Just activating this at the same time seems to imply that Dudley must choose one of the two races and may kill one of them. Only then will the reputation of another race be enhanced.

Dudley looked at the double-barreled shotgun and small revolver in the attribute column. He thought that if he used this to fight the giants, he might be overestimating his longevity. Giants are not beasts. In addition to their rough and manic personalities, their intelligence is not low. And many of them are good at special magic, and the giant's skin is also quite strong in resisting magic.

Dudley asked Bain calmly if there was anything he needed help with. It was okay not to ask, but when he asked Bain, he suddenly became angry, as if asking a wizard for help was a great insult to the centaurs, and ordered them to be kicked out. .

But when saying goodbye, Firenze stepped forward and put a small gadget into Dudley's hand, and winked at him.

The two returned to the castle in a hurry, and the rising sun had just revealed its golden edge on the horizon.

Biro went home to visit relatives, and the dormitory became Dudley's world again. He carefully counted the spider venom in the small glass bottle and stuffed it into the magic package, and then took out what Firenze gave him. It turned out to be a finger. Such a long bone flute was polished very delicately, and a small mark was made on the second hole. Dudley immediately understood that Firenze wanted to meet him alone in two days.

Since it was a holiday, Dudley had a good sleep and went into the library. Mrs. Pince, who manages the library, never takes a vacation. She always interrogates students extremely strictly about their intention to borrow books and the damage of the books. , Dudley had already prepared for this. He was not here to investigate some mysterious legends, but simply to study potions, especially Snape's works.

Giving up the sub-skill Potions Mastery has always made Dudley worried. No one understands the value of Potions better than him, and he does not have to obtain potions knowledge through the system. Diligence can also work.

Harry had no idea why his cousin was interested in such a boring subject as Potions. Every Potions class was a torment for him. Snape never praised him and often found fault with him and Ron. , of course, it can also be said that Snape often finds fault with all Gryffindor students, but is extremely tolerant of idiots like Goyle and Crabbe.

Two nights later, Dudley took Harry with him again and sneaked to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. He found a small pond with a beautiful scenery and gently played the bone flute.

The sound of the bone flute is crisp and long. Not only does it not feel out of place in this quiet night, it seems to be integrated with the rustling of the trees by the breeze and the cry of the nightingale, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"I didn't know you could still play this, it sounds so good!" Harry said with his eyes wide open.

"Hum, there are only two or three tones in total, almost like a whistle." Dudley shrugged and said indifferently.

"Here we come!" Dudley cheered up. Firenze's silver figure was running quickly from the depths of the forest. His white-blond hair looked particularly beautiful in the moonlight.
