The clatter of horse hooves appears from time to time in the silent forest.
There are few people here, and there is thick mud near the roots and feet of the towering trees.
Even with a girl on their backs, the two centaurs still walked easily on the dirt road that was difficult to get off.
Xifa proposed that he should use magic, otherwise he and Ogg would not be able to keep up with the three of them.
Modesty, the leading centaur, thought for a while and then nodded in agreement.
The little pony is also a benefactor... This is how she persuaded herself, and she believed that the stubborn centaurs in the camp would not say anything.
Since the centaur didn't mind using magic on his own, Xifa took out his wand and used transformation to activate the ground.
It’s still a swamp road, it’s still a road overgrown with weeds...
But under the influence of magic, the activated ground pushed Xifa and Ogg forward.
By the way, the branches and shrubs blocking the centaur were also patted aside by Xifa with his mage's hand.
When Elise and Luna saw this, their hearts warmed.
If they had known that they were going to the no-man's land in the Forbidden Forest with Ogle, they would have worn shorts and short sleeves.
"Thank you~"
The warm-hearted and outgoing Caroline turned back to Xifa and thanked her.
Actually, you are just passing by... I'm just afraid that these branches will scratch the little skirts of Elise and Luna...
Although he thought so in his heart, Xifa couldn't say it out loud.
I said you're welcome to the centaur Caroline.
The group of people continued on their way...
——————
It seems that this camp is a place that the centaurs have just found.
In the depression of a hillside.
There are no tall trees around, so the sunlight is relatively abundant.
According to the conversation between Caroline and Luna.
In the first half of the year, their group was forced to evacuate and stayed in a cave for a whole winter.
When spring came, they moved out of the cave.
The last time I came to the camp of the centaurs, it was all wooden houses and wooden fences.
This time it is a pure thatched house and a fence woven with vines.
Juma moved away from the entrance of the camp, and the group walked into this small tribe full of fireworks.
Many ponies were chasing and fighting, while many female centaurs gathered together in twos and threes, kneeling on the ground to prepare daily necessities.
We passed by thatched houses again, and finally came to a small, square wooden house in the middle of the field.
Bangbang——
The wooden door was knocked, and an old reply came from the room.
"Come in."
The three female centaurs signaled the four people to enter, but they did not go in.
Xifa nodded to them to express his gratitude, pulled the two girls who had already dismounted, and followed Ogg to push the door in.
The decoration in the house is very simple, with a bonfire in the middle and a pot of hot water boiling in a clay pot above.
To the left of the entrance is a flat wooden floor, and to the right is a fluffy hay field.
An old centaur lay on his side.
"Hello everyone, I am the previous Hecarim. The new generation has not grown up yet, so I will be in charge for the time being."
Don't tell me that the other party wants to give you a gift, just because of the old horse man's age, it doesn't matter if the three of them salute him.
But Ogg had a conflict with him, so he snorted coldly and sat down opposite the centaur.
After saluting, the three of them came and sat down next to Ogg.
Ogg and Xifa sat cross-legged. Luna and Elise sat next to Xifa.
"Tell me, what is it? You asked me to bring them here no matter what."
Ogg took out a bottle of fruit wine from the bag, took a sip, and said angrily.
"Ogg, you are also very old...Don't be anxious, listen to me slowly."
......
The old centaur Hecarim's old voice kept ringing in the hut.
Xifa also understood the ins and outs of this incident.
It turned out that when I walked out of the cave.
Hecarim used divination to find a geomantic treasure.
The Feng Shui treasure land has been found, but it will encounter a crisis, and this crisis is best solved by the three of them again.
After listening, Xifa, who always thought he was relatively calm, couldn't help but grin.
What about repaying the favor? Why do you still need us to solve the trouble?
Elise and Luna wanted to say something, but it seemed that it was something unpleasant.
Before they spoke again, they took a look at Xifa's attitude. Seeing that Xifa's expression remained unchanged, they swallowed their words.
"Uh..."
"Just call me Hecarim." After all, at this age, Hecarim could see Xifa's difficulties at a glance, and he said with a smile.
"Okay, Hecarim, can you tell me what the crisis is this time?" Xifa frowned and tapped his fingers on his knees.
"I don't know!" Hecarim shrugged and said seriously.
...Xifa was speechless and choked.
Well, it seems that the crisis will come soon.
"Okay, second question, what are the benefits of repaying a favor you mentioned?" Xifa still kept his breath and said in a calm voice.
This shocked Ogg, who was drinking alone. You know, he had dealt with this group of riddle centaurs before he treated them coldly.
But I have to say that the horse people are right many times, which saves me a lot of thought when maintaining the comfort of the entrance to the Forbidden Forest.
"You're here!" Hecarim didn't want to say more, so he only said these three words. It seemed that any more words would cause an accident.
Am I coming?
This...
After thinking about it, I can't think of anything right now.
Xifa said goodbye, and they went to the side to discuss it.
Hecarim nodded, as if, as long as he did not participate or give instructions.
If you predict, everything will proceed in an orderly manner.
When he walked to the door, Xifa turned back and said hello to Hecarim. He wanted to use magic in the camp or bring out some magic props.
"Go ahead, as long as it's not too much, we won't care."
......
I found an open space.
I borrowed some wood cut by the centaurs.
Xifa waved the magic wand in his hand, and a wooden house was generated from the twisted splicing of wood.
Seeing Elise casting various protective spells on the house, Ogg wisely suggested that he want to see where he was needed in the centaurs' camp.
Those horse people who had conflicts with him and developed unique friendships all died in the last conflict.
Their spouses, as their only remaining old friends, don’t have any problem helping out.
Close the wooden door and light up the fluorescent stone.
A faint off-white fluorescence fills the small square room.
Using the soil to create a stone table, Xifa took out a piece of parchment and slapped it on the table.
He also released his own patron saint, allowing Luna and Elise to also release their patron saint and enter a state of mental connection.
What Hecarim means is that by calling him here, he is giving himself a favor
Does it refer to things that happened to you, or places you passed by? Is it related to your Animagus?
What I am most concerned about now is my Animagus transformation and Professor Dumbledore's anomaly!
