Dong Dong Dong——
The door of the hut, which had been uninhabited for a long time and looked a bit desolate and damaged, was knocked by three people.
No one responded...The three of them looked at each other.
I tried several times, but Og's bold and rough greeting still didn't come from the house.
Xifa reached out and pushed the wooden door, but it was locked.
Lowering his head and looking at the small burrs on the board under his feet being crushed by a few footprints, Xifa was thoughtful.
"No one? Who wrote us the letter? Or did Xiaobai send it?"
Elise gathered up her white hair that was scattered around her face, and her sky-blue eyes flashed with puzzlement.
Facing Elise's gaze, Xifa shook his head, he didn't understand either.
After thinking for a while, Xifa walked to the window next to him and looked into the room through the gap.
"There are traces of life, not very obvious, but enough to prove that someone has lived in it."
After looking at it, Xifa narrowed his eyes and said softly.
"Has anyone lived here? Didn't Ogg live here?"
Hearing this, Luna calmly spread her hands across her chest, reached for the black package on her white silk thighs, and pulled out her wand.
The same goes for Elise.
When he came between the two of them and saw that they were preparing for protection, Xifa closed his eyes and began to feel the cabin in front of him with all his heart, trying to find the strange smell.
Soon, under the warning of the two women, Xifa shook his head, indicating that the two of them could relax.
"There is no smell of anything else. Ogg must have gone out to the Forbidden Forest. Maybe he didn't expect that we came here without even writing a reply."
Hearing this, their tense bodies relaxed.
It is impolite to use the unlocking spell - Alajo Cave - to open someone else's room, even if they are friends who share life and death together.
The three of them sat down on the steps at the door.
If the lakeside is full of vitality and vitality, this place is silent and quiet.
Because there is no little wizard running and flying in front of him, and the leaves are swaying with the wind, instead of continuing to ripple like the black lake.
At this time, the two girls were sitting elegantly, with straight waists. Unknowingly, their figure outlines had begun to appear. Perhaps due to the awakening of their bloodline, Luna grew faster than Elise.
Their brightly colored and expensive outfits form a strong contrast with the green and black tattered wood around them, making all the bright spots nearby focus on them.
Well, that's right, Xifa couldn't help but look at them a few more times before looking straight ahead and starting to chat.
The tops of the trees swayed in the wind, and several unknown birds suddenly appeared above.
The cabin hidden in the woods is protected by big trees, making it difficult for the wind to blow into it.
The surroundings are very quiet. If the three of them don't make a sound, they can easily hear the breathing of the people around them.
Just when Luna and Elise were talking about the knitting skills they learned in the orphanage.
Xifa suddenly raised a finger.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Elise and Luna quickly stopped talking and listened in the direction Xifa indicated.
"The sound of horse hooves?" Luna said first, and then the two of them nodded in agreement.
Could it be the centaurs coming here?
The three of them got up and used magic to clean up the stained debris on the back of their clothes.
"Click, click, click -" the sound is getting closer and closer, and it is not just the sound of a horseman's footsteps.
Soon, the visitor appeared in the sight of the three people.
It's Ogg, and he's riding a black, weird-looking horse, probably.
Behind him, there were several others.
"Who!" Seeing someone at the door of the hut, Ogg, who was still angry after going out, didn't think much about it. He asked sharply without hesitation. He also started to grab the guy with his hands.
"It's us!" Xifa waved his hand and responded.
After taking a closer look, oh, it is indeed Xifa and the three of them, but this look...
The difference was a bit big, and Ogg didn’t recognize it for a while.
He quickly arrived in front of the three of them and apologized to them.
"I have experienced some bad things in America, and now I am a little sensitive."
Ogg patted a wooden board next to the door, pulled it open and then put his hand in.
After a quick operation, the door opened with a sound.
Ogg walked into the hut and went straight to a door on the side. There was a warehouse he made with a traceless expansion spell, which contained various feeds and rations.
"Western Fa? Western Fa!"
Entering the room, Elise suddenly realized that Xifa was not around. She turned around and found that Xifa was observing the black creatures at the door.
Yes, Xifa doesn’t know Ye Qi...
Seeing Xifa looking at her, Elise asked Luna to explain to Xifa, and she went to the house to help Ogg. Just now from the corner of her eye, she seemed to have caught a glimpse of Ogg calling them over.
While walking on the road, she heard the sound of Ogg moving heavy objects, and Xifa's puzzled inquiry.
"This is?"
Xifa had a guess in his mind, it was a vague memory from his previous life.
I don’t know why, but all the memories about this magical world are blurred or lost.
You know, since my Occlumency entered the second stage, I can package and organize my memories into volumes.
Everything I have experienced in my past and present lives can be recalled with clarity, except for the above-mentioned memories.
"This is the Thestral!" Luna walked to Xifa's side and explained softly.
Thestrals are a breed of Pegasus.
They have no flesh at all on their bodies, and their black fur sticks tightly to their skeletons, and every bone is clearly visible.
If they didn't have skin, I suspected they were skeleton horses, Xifa smiled in his heart.
Their heads look like dragon heads.
At this time, their pupil-less eyes were white, staring at the two of them intently.
It seems that they are very interested in this combination of beautiful women and handsome men. In their many years of serving young wizards, they have never seen such a young wizard dressed up.
Wings grew out of the ridges between the Thestrals' shoulder bones—big, black, leathery wings that looked like a giant bat, that is, a large reptile.
"They can fly, and their flight speed and range are very long. They are good at traveling across oceans."
"Only those who have witnessed death can see them."
As soon as Luna finished speaking, Ogg came out of the house carrying two large wooden barrels.
"You can actually see them, damn, why should I be surprised!"
Ogg was surprised at first when he heard the conversation between the two. Then he thought that the three of them could save him from the black wizard in the Forbidden Forest.
Witnessing death seems to be a normal thing...
Just when Ogg hung the large barrel on the Thestral's back with all his strength.
Elise's loud shouts came from behind the onlookers who wanted to step forward to help.
"You two! Come and help! What are you doing outside!"
"Come on, come on!" Xifa quickly pulled Luna into the room.
There was a series of rapid clicking sounds of high heels colliding with the wooden board.
......
Ogg's magic control is not good, but he can touch the barrel with his own hands.
The three of them disliked the strange smell of the barrel.
It is carried by the hands of a mage.
Xifa is in the warehouse, Elise is outside the warehouse, and Luna is outside the room. The three of them form an assembly line, and each barrel slowly floats in the air.
In the end, the barrels fell at Ogg's feet one after another, and he tied them to the Thestral's back.
Looking at the only free Thestral among the full Thestrals, the four of them looked at each other.
It seems...the three of them can only walk?
In the end, Elise and Luna did not walk on the dirt in high heels.
At this time, four people were riding the Thestrals through the Forbidden Forest.
Beside them...well...beside the Xifa trio, there were several wooden barrels floating.
Since it takes three thestrals to carry three people, the three of them will have to put in a little effort.
The Thestrals that Ogg brought back just carried two barrels each.
Now each of the three Westerners has to ride one, and the extra ones have to be lifted into the air by using their magic hands.
I thought that riding a horse was a difficult thing, but after Xifa experienced it for himself, he became addicted to it.
Thanks to the Thestral's special body structure, it does not require a saddle. Xifa, a novice who has never learned equestrian skills, can sit firmly on its back.
With his legs stuck in the depression at the base of the Thestral's wings, Xifa squinted his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of walking in the forest.
The sunlight shines through the young leaves on the ground, leaving mottled traces.
It’s just that the smell of these wooden barrels is a bit off-putting.
Boop - the sound of the bucket lid opening.
"This is...the American Bosnian maggot?"
Luna's voice was a bit unbelievable, which made Xifa, who was squinting his eyes to enjoy it, startled.
I'm going!
His eyes widened and he sat up straight. The violent struggle made the Thestral snort under him in dissatisfaction.
Fortunately, these Thestrals are domesticated by Hogwarts. They pull the entrance carriage once a year and will not attack the little wizard just because of this little friction.
After reacting, Xifa quickly stroked Yeqi's neck and let it shake its head in enjoyment, expressing that it forgave Xifa.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Xifa raised his head and waited for Ogg to give them an explanation.
I don’t know how Luna recognized it, but what kind of good thing could a maggot be?
"This is a ration, high in protein and nutrients, which can help the young birds grow up quickly and recognize their masters after they hatch."
Ogg said sadly, "I originally prepared a bird egg for each of you, but in America, we had a conflict with another group of people and only brought back one."
"What bird eggs? Do you still need to go to America in person?"
Elise asked with some confusion, and Xifa didn't understand even more. He had almost zero understanding of magical animals.
"Could it be..." Luna's eyes lit up.
In America, one bird needs so much food.
"Thunderbird!" Ogg raised his tone slightly, "That's why I placed it in the Forbidden Forest."
The relevant school regulations stipulate that dangerous creatures cannot be brought to the castle, and they do not say that they cannot be placed in the Forbidden Forest.
Xifa understood clearly. No wonder, there were very few traces of Ogg's life in the hut. He might have gone to live in the Forbidden Forest.
"Here we are, this is also one of the camps I left in the Forbidden Forest."
When I emerged from the woods, my eyes suddenly opened up.
It is a bright green grassland in spring, with a tree in the middle with thick but short branches. To put it bluntly, it is a very fat tree!
There is a simple wooden house on a branch a few meters above the ground.
No need to think about it, the thunderbird egg that Ogg gave himself as a gift is in this cabin.
