Chapter 52 Prophecy, Centaur, Trap

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The three of them were busy for a while.

Unicorn Anderson got up from the ground panting.

He tapped his front hooves at the horn that fell on the ground.

He wanted to lift his feet and leave, but he hesitated for a while and kept shouting at Ogg.

Finally, I looked at Luna with sympathy and gratitude before leaving without looking back.

Inexplicable... Just be grateful, what does sympathy mean?

Picking up the single horn that was filled with a desolate aura from the ground, the two women looked at it repeatedly but couldn't figure out why.

"Mr. Ogg, what's going on?"

In the end, Luna spoke and woke up Ogg, who was standing motionless.

"I'm worried about Anderson's health, but he said he's fine..."

Ogg didn't finish his words. He was still wondering what Anderson's series of complex cries at the end meant. The sounds made by unicorns are not words, but sounds that contain their emotions.

"Is it okay if the unicorn horn is broken off like this?"

Luna looked worried, and the little unicorn in Elise's arms saw worry and reluctance in his eyes when his father left.

In the end, he struggled and landed on the ground, licking the palms of the two women who were leaning down.

Then he said goodbye to his two daughters and followed in his father's footsteps.

"Generally speaking, it is normal for a unicorn's horn to fall off. Only when it falls off can it grow a longer and more beautiful horn."

Ogg came to his senses and took the horn from Luna.

"But this time, Anderson's horn was interrupted by backlash. I checked his body and found no other damage."

After a pause, Ogg continued.

"Luna, in the end Anderson said that he owes you a big favor. With this divination, their tribe will be truly safe."

"Also, your fate should have ended miserably. However, Anderson said that you will meet someone who changes your destiny. And the prophecies after that are beyond his ability. What unicorns are good at is blessings rather than prophecies.

He left the fragment on this broken horn. In order to interpret it, we need professional diviners."

After a pause, Ogg said in a difficult tone.

"We need to find a horse person to help us decipher it!"

Centaurs are a kind of magical creature. The upper part of their body is humanoid, while the lower part is the same as a horse. However, they themselves are a species, not half-human and half-animal caused by hybrid magic out of control.<

/p>

Although they have the same intelligence as humans, centaurs asked the British Ministry of Magic to classify them as "beasts" because they do not want to share human identities with creatures such as hags and vampires.

However, the Ministry of Magic still believes that centaurs are magical creatures with "near human intelligence" based on the second paragraph of Article 15 of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

Horse people consider this a great insult.

The Ministry of Magic's Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures still maintains a Centaur Liaison Office, but no centaurs actually use it.

In fact, "being sent to the Centauri Liaison Office" has become an inside joke in the department, meaning that the person in question is about to be fired.

The above is the information Luna and Elise know from books.

"They seem to be very unfriendly to wizards. Do they really not make things difficult for us little ponies?"

Elise said self-deprecating words, and it seemed that she had an unfriendly impression of the centaurs.

Luna also looked a little ugly. She turned her attention to Ogg and asked Ogg to decide whether it was suitable for the three of them to go to the centaurs for help.

"It's not a big problem. They have a good relationship with me, the guardian of the Forbidden Forest. They can still help with some small favors."

"Uh, but you'd better put away your wands. They don't like wizards showing off their wands in front of them."

"They advocate natural magic and believe that using a wand to perform magic is an insult to magic."

...

If Xifa were here, would he and the centaurs become good friends? They are both wandless magic.

Thinking of the tall centaur standing together with Xifa who has not yet fully grown.

Elise burst out laughing, and facing Luna's confused eyes, she expressed her thoughts.

As a result, the two girls laughed together.

Ogg led the way. He heard the innocent laughter of the two women behind him, and his depressed mood due to the prophecy was relieved.

The journey to the centaurs is much more difficult than the journey to the unicorns, and there are many lethal traps set in it.

"The horse people think that the Forbidden Forest is their territory, and they have the obligation to install gates on their houses."

After disabling a log-rolling mechanism, Ogg said to the angry two girls.

Because every time a mechanism is cracked, it takes a while.

Shashasha——

The footsteps of the three stepped on fallen leaves and weeds, which were particularly clear in this quiet forest.

...

Something was wrong. After experiencing a life-and-death crisis with Xifa, Luna's sixth sense suddenly broke out.

She silently approached Elise and asked her to take out her wand.

Elise gave her a confused look, but still took out the wand trustingly.

At this time——

"It's so quiet..."

Ogg suddenly stopped before he could finish his words.

There was a whistling sound in the woods.

A crossbow arrow was shot at Luna.

Luna, who was already on guard, was struck by a crackling explosion.

Let the explosive impact generated by the spell bounce the crossbow bolts away.

Armor protection?

Stop making trouble, do you know if there is a shield-breaking spell on this arrow?

This is Xifa's warning to the two girls again and again after learning that the Armor Curse is not omnipotent.

Don't always think about armor spells. There are too many black magics that can easily break through armor spells of the same level.

Successfully flicked the arrow aside.

Luna's eyes were solemn, and she thought of Xifa's words, to fight back decisively.

So, she threw a few powerful body-crushing spells in the direction of the crossbow arrows.

Luna has done this, and Elise will naturally stare at her.

Only Ogg, holding a crossbow, alerted the two of them.

After being covered by a series of firepower, trees fell one after another in front of them.

Feeling that it was almost done, the two of them stopped in unison.

At this point, there seems to be no other sound except for the occasional snapping sound from the trees.

"Who?!"

Ogg has been in the Forbidden Forest all year round. Besides, he is also tall, so naturally his vigilance is much more sensitive than the two girls.

The two women quickly turned their sights in the direction Ogg was facing.

After the words fell for a while, in the ears of the two women, the sound of footsteps and falling leaves appeared in front of them.

The being in front did not stop to answer, but continued to move forward.

It’s close, it’s coming out! Elise’s nervous palms were covered in sweat. This was the first time she faced a battle.

Amidst her pounding heart, a figure appeared from the darkness.

"Girod, was it you who attacked us just now?"

Ogg obviously knew the centaur in front of him. He did not put down the hand crossbow and asked with a frown.

"Ogg, I never thought that you would bring two ponies with you and point weapons at me."

The centaur Girod held a hand crossbow without arrows and said to Ogg with a sad look on his face.

"Answer me!"

Ogg did not waver at all, because he brought two young wizards with him, and the two women who were attacked were also two women. He did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

"It was a crossbow arrow fired by another assassin. I just happened to meet him and shot an arrow at him, but he dodged it."

Hearing this, Ogg frowned, wondering whether what Girod the Centaur said was true or false.

Although horse people disdain lying, there is nothing wrong with being cautious at this time.

After all, the centaur Girod came from the direction of the attack, and the time of his arrival was too coincidental.

"Mr. Ogg, what Girod said must be true. Look at his crossbow hole, he can't shoot such a thick arrow."

Luna saw Ogg confronting the centaur Girod, and the centaur Girod seemed to have no intention of attacking.

She first observed the crossbow of the centaur Girod, then observed the arrow stuck on the ground not far away, and whispered to Ogg.

Ogg heard this, observed it, and found that it was indeed the case.

So he put down the crossbow in his hand and apologized to the centaur Girod.

"Sorry, my friend, there are two students here and I have to be more vigilant."

Centaur Girod shook his head and said nothing.

I don’t know whether he accepted Ogg’s apology and showed he didn’t care, or whether he was still grieving that his friend pointed a weapon at him.

"So, Girod, can you take us to your camp? I have something to ask you."

Ogg didn't think much about it. He just thought that Girod the Centaur meant that he had changed his mind about what happened just now. So, he made a request from the three of them to Girod the Centaur.

Girod the Centaur went through some ideological struggle, and finally, he said softly.

"Recently, Mars in the sky has been extremely bright. A dark shadow is approaching us, and the darkness will swallow us."

"What?"

The three of them were a little confused by the centaur's confused words.

"If you don't mind our poor hospitality, you can come. Please don't wander around in the camp. Some tribesmen are quite anxious today."

With the centaur Girod leading the way, the three of them had a smooth journey.

Half an hour later, the group came to a simple camp.

A simple wooden fence with wooden houses made of wooden boards and straw poles inside.

There are several bonfires scattered at the intersection, used for lighting or boiling water and other daily needs.

The entire camp was quiet, with no other sounds except some movement, and a tense atmosphere spread over it.

The two girls couldn't help but cuddle up together.

At the door, several centaurs polishing arrows looked at the three of them warily.

After discovering that it was an acquaintance Ogg and two young wizards.

They just nodded and said hello and continued to go about their business with their heads down.

After passing through most of the camp, the three of them came to a relatively remote place.

"The best person in our camp for interpreting unicorn prophecies is Ronald. I don't know if he is in the camp now."

Girod, the centaur, led the three of them to a wooden house and introduced them.

"Ronald! Are you there? We need your help!"

Girod the Centaur shouted loudly.

"It's so noisy! Can you let me take a break? Wait? Us? Who else besides you?"

It is different from the polite speaking attitude of Girod the Centaur.

Ronald the Centaur apparently has a bad temper and seems to reject outsiders.

Accompanied by curse words, the red-haired centaur came out of the house.

The hair color of centaurs determines their personalities? Elise and Luna looked at the blond Girod and then at the red-haired Ronald, and they both thought in unison.

"Og? What do you want from me? The centaurs will never agree to your rude request!"

"You misunderstood, Ronald. This time I'm not here to argue with you about the ownership of the Forbidden Forest. I'm here to ask you to interpret the prophecy left by the unicorn."

Ogg clenched his fists, as if remembering some unbearable experience.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a depressed voice.

"The centaurs! Are! Impossible! Working for the wizard!"

Ronald the Centaur said he didn't want to hear it. He roared loudly, which naturally attracted some centaurs in the distance to point and point.

However, it seems that this scene happens often, and they have no intention of surrounding them to break up the fight.

"Calm down, Ronald."

Girod the Centaur stretched out his hand to stop Ronald the Centaur, and then explained.

"The prophecy interpreted this time is about this little pony. We can't embarrass the little pony."
