HP's Foreign Land

The so-called brine tofu, one thing drops one thing, this is the ingenuity of nature, no life can stand on the commanding heights, human beings seem to have achieved this, but in fact they have only jumped out of the constraints of the food chain.

Eight-eyed spiders are not human beings. Even though they have never seen the Queen Falcon, their subconscious sense of fear easily overwhelmed their defenses, causing them to be in such a mess that they were defeated like water, and the good situation was in vain.

In the eight-eyed spider army, the only one who can keep awake is the leader Aragog. At this moment, his disability has become the best help to keep him still. Unfortunately, all of his descendants are in good health and have good teeth. What’s worse, the most important thing is that they have sharp ears and eyes, and their eyes are like torches. Every picture of the Queen’s Falcon’s vigorous dive posture is like a slow-motion movie with a shooting frequency of 48 frames per second. Close-ups, close-ups, and close-ups are zoomed in frame by frame in front of their eyes.

Fear made them panic, and fear made them tremble. The screams and rubbing sounds of the panicked spiders swallowed Aragog's angry howls. He sighed at the ocean and sighed without doing anything, and even caught him without a fight.

Olar swiped across Aragog's head, intercepting a spider that was hurriedly climbing up the wet web in mid-air, grabbed one of its legs, and freed it from the web.

This spider, which is about the size of a 17-inch monitor, seems to have forgotten how to resist and how to attack. It frightened and waved its limbs in mid-air in a disorderly manner. The pair of sharp pincers that made the wizards talk about it seemed to have been petrified. , hangs lifelessly on the body, and seems to be out of the control of the body, and has become disobedient.

The spiders on the ground panicked even more. The spiders hanging in mid-air scrambled to fall from their respective spider threads. A black hailstorm appeared in the forest. A thrilling collective big jump.

Aragog finally collapsed, and its nerves could no longer bear the mental activity that was continuously conveyed back by its descendants.A spider is a very sensitive creature. In order to ensure the authenticity and effectiveness of information transmission, it will be consciously amplified when receiving it. Just imagine, a hundred people holding microphones screaming in the ear of a blind person at the same time, What would be the listener's reaction?

The number of spiders on the scene was far more than a hundred. Comrade Aragog did not faint or become mentally ill on the spot, and his psychological quality was already quite stalwart.

"I understand..." Aragog put down the pincers that he couldn't hold up high, looking weak and old.

Olar in the air had already circled the area where the fluorescent flashes radiated, holding the terrified and numb spider in its mouth.

The surrounding turmoil did not stop, but intensified.

"I admit defeat, and my children and grandchildren will not make things difficult for you," Aragog said with difficulty. "Please let me and my descendants go." The eight-eyed spider used honorifics.

On this day, the spider ancestor of the Forbidden Forest lowered its head in despair. Except for Rubeus Hagrid, for the first time in his life, he made such a compromise to a wizard when he had no choice but to retreat.

Heimdall waited for the result he wanted, and waved his hand in the air, "Olar."

The numb spider fell to the ground with a plop, and swayed twice like a tumbler. After the dizziness passed, it remained motionless. It couldn't believe that it had escaped a catastrophe.

"Thank you." Aragog expressed his sincere thanks to Heimdall.

In fact, even if Olar swallowed the booty, it would not dare to speak up. Humans are used to using tricks such as Mawei. Aragog has long experienced the despicableness of human beings. Heimdall's kindness won Aragog Of course, negative emotions still prevail, and the spider also has a little bit of grudges.

Olar landed on a nearby tree, and the threat entrenched overhead disappeared. Under Aragog's call, the scattered spider army regrouped.

"Tell me how the centaur tribe is going." Heimdall was not polite to it either.

The unknown anger in Aragog's heart rose immediately, but when he thought of the children and grandchildren around him who had finally calmed down, he could only suppress his anger and said, "I can let my children and grandchildren guide you, but all consequences are at your own risk."

"What do you mean?"

"The horse people are different from us. We like uninvited guests because we can occasionally improve the food. The horse people don't like uninvited guests. They attach great importance to the safety of their tribe..."

"You don't need to say anything, I understand," Heimdall thought for a while, "It's okay, you just need to bring me near the tribe."

Heimdall thought to himself that he was a mermaid ambassador, not a human ambassador. The centaurs should be more tolerant to fish than to humans, right?

"One last question," Heimdall said. "Did Hagrid ever come?"

"...He just left not long before you came, didn't you meet him on the road?"

"Yaya, you unlicensed black guide!"

"..."

***

When this ecstasy afternoon gradually turned into ecstasy dusk, Heimdall and his party walked out of the forest. The sun in the sky was like a big egg yolk. Facing the orange sun, the two hungry animals fell into a craving for food. reverie.

"Are you all right?" Hagrid's tall figure came running from not far away, followed by the evasive Fang Fang.

Toffee, which has been re-shrunk by Heimdall and held in his hands, has already figured out its behavior, and pretended not to see it, Yaya whimpered, but Toffee ignored it.

After several efforts, nothing came of it, Yaya's tail drooped down, and his head drooped down, looking very pitiful.

Heimdall patted Toffee's head and said to Hagrid, "It's all right."

"It's dangerous for you to go in so rashly."

In fact, Hagrid is not quite sure what happened to Heimdall and the others, because he just came back. If Fang Fang hadn't bitten his trouser leg abnormally and dragged him towards the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid would not have found the trace of Heimdall and his party. .

"I'm sorry, it won't be like this in the future." Heimdall just wanted to get away early, so he acted very cooperative and reflected sincerely.

Hagrid scratched his hair. He was not as sensitive to the word "dangerous" as other professors, because he himself was a person who loved "dangerous".

"You can come to me next time you want to go to the Forbidden Forest." If it were another professor, he would definitely not say that.

Heimdall smiled, "Understood, thank you."

Hagrid also laughed, "By the way, Happy New Year."

Heimdall and Victor smiled, "Happy New Year."

***

The next night, Heimdall left the three-masted ship with Toffee and Olar, without Victor.

He stood on the deck and said to Heimdall: "I think I have to learn to trust you, not only trust your feelings for me, but also try to believe that you actually have excellent personal abilities, and you can solve problems by yourself."

Heimdall was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you going to go with me?"

"No." Victor smiled and patted his head, and dropped a kiss on his cheek, "Have fun." Then he took out a small octagonal mirror from his pocket and handed it to Hai Mdar's hand. "If you can't handle it, use this to contact me. No matter where you are, I will rush there. I hope this situation will never happen."

Heimdall looked at the mirror in his hand. It was a very ordinary handleless plane mirror, a circle smaller than the palm of his hand. The style was more classical European style, with a wooden frame and swirl and wave decoration. One of the jumping waves was strung with a A small corrugated copper ring, on the back of the mirror is a circle of circles, carved with uneven and blurred ancient magic patterns, which has a heavy sense of history.

Heimdall squeezed the mirror tightly in his hand, rushed back to the bedroom, found a platinum necklace engraved with beautiful magic pattern characters from the luggage - a Christmas gift from his father, connected the necklace in series in the copper ring of the mirror, and hung it On the neck, hidden in clothes and placed next to the body.

Victor watched all this with a smile, then stood on the deck and watched the boat disappear into the thick fog of the night.

Sitting on the rickety boat, Heimdall took off his half-worn woolen gloves, and took out the mirror from the collar.

The mirror surface of the mirror is very strange, and no image can be shown, as if covered with a layer of water mist.

Heimdall wiped the mirror surface with his hands, and the water mist seemed to dissipate a little where his fingers touched, but once his fingers left there, the water mist re-condensed.

Li Xiaoge scratched his head, and tentatively called out to the mirror, "Victor."

The mist disperses without wiping off, and the mist disperses without blowing. The face of Master Kroom William Xiaoduo appeared in the mirror, with a smile on his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth raised high in an arc, "Baby, put it like this!" Don't let me down!"

Li Xiaoge was embarrassed.

At this time, there was a bang on the bow, and the boat docked. Heimdall quickly stuffed the mirror back into his clothes.

***

There is no moonlight tonight, and even the stars can't be seen. Thinking of the timing when the mermaid leader mentioned the centaur wearing stars and moons, it might not be a good omen.

The Forbidden Forest is huge, and Heimdall and his two animal companions habitually walked along the established direction. From a long distance, they saw Hagrid's wooden house with flickering light seeping from the window, like a hanging bird. The flickering orange lanterns between man and nature are serene and warm.

Heimdall avoided Hagrid consciously. The less people know about what he is going to do now, the better. If the mermaid wants to get Hogwarts involved, they won't go around in such a big circle to fool themselves.

However, if he didn't go in from the original entrance, he wouldn't know the location of the eight-eyed spider's lair. Yesterday he had made an appointment with the leader of the eight-eyed spider to meet tonight.

Or, you can ask Olar and Toffee to lead the way. In the dense forest, they must be easier than him to see the direction.

Thinking of this, Heimdall found a random place and plunged into the woods.

The Forbidden Forest was as unfriendly as ever, and it seemed to be even worse tonight. The cold wind left a trace of pain on his face, and even the air and stream were filled with xenophobic agitation.

It was only in the examination room that he recalled clasping his hands together to proclaim the name of the Buddha and declaring the name of the Great God, hoping to rejoice in his own examination results, and the director Stulusson couldn't help but become superstitious again. It's not a good omen.

While burying his head in search of spiders on the ground, while hesitating whether to ask Olar or where to go under Toffee, a faint voice came to his ears, "Go to the right."

Heimdall was stunned, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and he said in a low voice, "Who?"

The toffee in his hand was taken aback by Heimdall's sudden yell. Just as he was struggling to get out of Heimdall's embrace and was about to enter the fighting state, the faint voice came again. Sugar heard it too.

"Me, on the shoulder."

Heimdall's wand was immediately raised to his right shoulder, and when the white light shone, there was nothing. Heimdall stared sideways at the empty shoulder and frowned.

"Left shoulder." The unexpected visitor reminded, and Heimdall suddenly realized.

Before the words were finished, the fluorescent flashes moved over, and a spider the size of a tennis ball appeared in the eyes of Heimdall and Toffee.

"It's you?" The little spider understood Heimdall's nonsensical words.

"it's me."

Heimdall laughed, and he really didn't know each other, "Your ancestors sent you to lead us?"

"That guy came here on his own initiative, and I was the one who was sent." A voice came from the darkness.

Toffee broke free from Heimdall's arms, jumped down, and stared at the darkness ahead. As the voice fell, a huge black spider stood out three-dimensionally from the two-dimensional background, creating a quite visual scene. The impactful appearance picture, like a drop of black ink blobs falling on white paper, suddenly, abruptly and uncoordinated under the light of fluorescent flashes, the uncoordinated part is that its shape is very deterrent, but it does not have the slightest Attack momentum.

However, Heimdall's heart was full of turmoil. If it planned to sneak attack itself, then it should have succeeded by now.

The ability of the local snake should not be underestimated, he still underestimated the enemy, Heimdall reflected silently.

Toffee stopped barking its teeth and waving its claws. It turned around and ran back to Heimdall, rubbing against his trouser legs, and then was put back into a warm embrace.

"Thank you." Heimdall sincerely thanked the couch-like giant spider guide. "Then please lead the way."

The leader of the spider, Niu Tau, said something wrong, "Too slow."

Then the eight legs lay down simultaneously, and the center of gravity of the suspended torso fell to the horizon. Heimdall didn't quite understand its actions.

"Go up." said the little spider on the shoulder.

"You mean to climb up?" Heimdall asked in surprise.

"Yes." It seems that eight-eyed spiders like to be concise.

"...is it okay?" This sentence was said to the guide.

The spider guide threw a sentence, "During it."

Heimdall kept his mouth shut, and took a moment to figure out where to put his foot down to let go, and then clumsily climbed onto the spider's back.

The spider guide brushed the ground to prop up his body, and Heimdall, who was still sitting still due to the violent vibration, screamed in embarrassment, and almost fell off the spider's back.
