Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Dudley was very curious, what could be the reason for Firenze looking for him?You won't let him deal with the giant, right?

Firenze saw the two people by the pond and slowed down. Only then did Dudley see that he had brought a beautiful colorful nightingale. When he walked in front of Dudley, he let the nightingale fly, as if to be his His eyeliner prevents others from approaching, which shows that the matter he wants to entrust is not trivial.

After nodding, Firenze took the initiative to speak: "Thank you for coming, our new friends of the centaurs." Then he turned to Harry and said: "The legend of little Harry Potter is also spreading in the forest. I am glad that you are also here. I can come." Harry was flattered and bowed repeatedly.

Dudley also nodded and said, "Let me get straight to the point. Is there anything I can do for you? I am happy to deepen our friendship with the centaurs."

Firenze had originally prepared some polite words, but they seemed to be omitted now. He stepped forward and patted Dudley's shoulder gently: "Thank you for your kindness to the centaurs. I can see that you are sincere." "." Compared to Dudley and Harry, he was too tall. He knelt down in the open space by the pond and then explained his purpose.

The situation of the centaurs is very bad. It's not that the giants or other races want to kill them all at once, but that the tribe is visibly weakening.

It is difficult for them to communicate with the centaurs tribe outside the Forbidden Forest. No new centaurs have been born for several years. The tribesmen have gradually forgotten their respect for nature. They do not want to learn shamanism, or even go hunting. Facing the Acromantula Occupying the forest land, the horse people do not want to resist. It can be said that the horse people have no hope of fighting.

Dudley saw in Firenze's eyes his concern for the tribe and even the entire species, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"But Hagrid said that the Forbidden Forest was closed to protect you?" Harry asked with some confusion. He had read stories about how Muggles and bad wizards tortured centaurs, made them into specimens, or... It's really scary to use centaur's hooves to make evil magic props.

"Yes, that's right... centaurs are voluntarily recognized by the Ministry of Magic as magical animals... We voluntarily do not have personality like humans..." Firenze's expression was sad and painful. Giving up personality is such an undertaking. It was a humiliating decision. If they had not faced the disaster of annihilation, how could the proud centaurs bow to the Ministry of Magic and beg them to pity them like they protect animals.

But Dudley knew very well that it was impossible for humans to hand over large tracts of land to centaurs or other races. No race had ever had such a strong sense of territoriality as humans. For humans, the entire earth belonged to them.

Since ancient times, countless wars have been fought among humans for land. How could they be spit out?"Nature reserves" like the Forbidden Forest are just human beings' self-impressions in order to label themselves as civilized. They don't really care about the happiness of the horse people.

"But...how can the two of us help?" Dudley scratched his head and said, he still didn't understand why Firenze told them this.

Firenze calmed down, took a deep breath and said: "I am good at divination. I can see that both of you will become great people. I beg you, when you have the ability, you can help the centaurs get out of the Forbidden Forest. Really To thrive..."

Harry's old face blushed slightly, and he hesitated: "I'm just a second-year student... It's too far away to become a big shot..."

Dudley also felt baffled. Even if they remembered this, it would take who knows how many years to realize it. Wasn't he being too ahead of his time by secretly inviting him over?

"Of course, there is another thing I want to ask you... You can help me now..." Firenze's ears seemed to be slightly red, as if he was a little embarrassed: "I want to ask you to help me find Scar." Mr. Mander, Newt Artemis Fido Scamander."

Dudley and Harry were both stunned, not thinking who this was for a moment. Dudley then realized that Firenze was talking about Newt, the protagonist of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", a man who truly loves magical animals and will spend his whole life with them. Dedicated to the learned master who protects magical creatures, but he should be almost a hundred years old by this time.

Dudley also guessed Firenze's intention. Of course, the two junior students could not solve the centaurs' urgent needs, but Master Newt should be able to help. In "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", Newt has a suitcase , connected to a mysterious space where there are no humans and is a paradise for magical animals.

This suitcase should lead to a rift space. Like Diagon Alley, it opens up a rift in the normal earth space. Dudley doesn't know the principle of this. He doesn't know which powerful wizard can open up such a big rift. of folding space, but Master Newt should know, and he should be happy to help the centaurs.

"Scamander...sounds familiar..." Harry muttered. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly clapped his hands, startling both Dudley and Firenze.

"Ginny mentioned that there is a classmate named Scamander! Dudley, like you, is a new student at Hufflepuff!" Harry said happily.

Dudley was stunned and slapped his thigh suddenly. He did have such a classmate, his name was Ralph Scamander. That boy was stupid and naive, and he was usually transparent. He was the grandson of Master Newt.In the novel, he later marries Harry's good friend Luna Lovegood.

"That's great!" Firenze took out a thick letter from his arms, solemnly put it into Dudley's hands and said, "Please help me deliver the letter to Mr. Scamander."

"Don't worry!" Dudley put the letter into the magic package and said, "I will personally deliver it and convey the situation of the centaurs. I believe Master Newt will have a solution!" Even if there was no such thing as the centaurs, he I also want to visit Newt, who can be regarded as a legend of Dumbledore's generation. If he could get the magic to open the folded space, it would be incredible.

Firenze thought for a while, then took off another decoration on his wrist, handed it to Dudley and said, "To express your gratitude, please accept this gift!"

Dudley was about to be polite. It was just a rough bracelet made of unknown bark and ore. It looked like a normal bracelet, but suddenly a system prompt sounded in his ear:

"Accepted the prestige mission: The Future of the Centaurs Tribe. The reputation of the Silver Mane Tribe has been raised to Friendly, and you will receive a C-level enchanted equipment gifted by the centaurs."

Dudley quickly linked his hand, and a message popped up on the ordnance manual:

[Get the Forest Wind Bracelet (Level C): Basic Agility +2, Dodge +2%]

Dudley immediately beamed when he saw the attributes of the equipment. He quickly put it on his right wrist and proudly flaunted it in front of Harry. He was joking. It was too good-looking to be eaten. It would probably take him a year to gain two more points of agility through training.

Harry raised his eyebrows, and there were only a few words in his eyes: "As long as you are happy."

On the way back from the Forbidden Forest, Harry suddenly asked curiously: "Dudley! You are really different from before. You couldn't have been so enthusiastic before..."

Dudley understood what he meant. In the past, Dudley wouldn't even help an old lady on the roadside if she fell, but today he was willing to help the centaurs enthusiastically. There was indeed a big contrast.

Dudley turned around and said pointedly: "Brother, remember what I said, you will meet many people, and some people's first impression is completely different from the truth."

Harry looked confused. Dudley shrugged and quickened his pace. He didn't dare to tell Harry about Sirius in advance. He had already seen the serious consequences of changing the plot without authorization. Maybe it was best to just let nature take its course. Result.

Before returning home for the holidays, the twins threw the Marauder's Map to Dudley. They carefully avoided Filch and his cat and returned to the dormitory safe and sound.

The next day, Dudley sent the Spider Venom to the Bounty Association alone, and finally got what he wanted. In the box was a very well-maintained AK47.

"Certified firearms!" Dudley gritted his teeth and saw that 600 Galleons were instantly missing from his wallet, feeling that his fragile heart was bleeding again.
