Jon stretched out his hand, dipped some silver liquid in it and smelled it at the tip of his nose.
Although the taste is not strong, it does have a distinct smell of blood.
Even though he had never seen such a thing, he still had a vague guess in his mind that there was silver blood in the Forbidden Forest. Apart from unicorns, there were basically no other possibilities.
But even if a unicorn is injured, why does the Bowtruckle bring him here?
If it cares about the injured unicorn, shouldn't it be more wary of itself, an outsider?
Jon turned his head and glanced at the little guy who brought him here. It was blinking and looking straight at him.
Jon suddenly thought of a possibility. He raised the wooden sign and asked tentatively to the Bowtruckle.
"Does this injured unicorn know the owner of this brand?"
The little guy jumped up immediately, as if cheering that Jon understood its meaning.
Seeing its performance, Jon also became excited. He looked at the silver spots left on the grass and began to follow the traces left by the blood, continuing to search deeper into the Forbidden Forest.
At this time, the bowtruckle lost its initial reserve. It jumped directly onto Jon's shoulder and followed him forward.
Jon continued walking for about half an hour, and finally came to an empty grassland, and in the center of the grassland gathered a group of horse-shaped creatures with white hair and a single horn on their head.
Unicorns are a legendary symbol of purity and sanctity. It is said that only virgins can touch them.
Hagrid told Jon very early on that there was a huge group of unicorns living in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, which could even be said to be the largest group in the UK.
Every few years, Ollivander would pay a sum of money to go to the Forbidden Forest and use harmless methods to scrape some unicorn horn powder to use as the core of the wand. There are also some of these unicorns.
She has a very good relationship with Hagrid and has received a lot of care from Hagrid.
The group of unicorns that appeared in front of Jon didn't look so optimistic.
Almost every one of them has claw wounds or burns on their bodies, and their originally beautiful white fur is full of scorch marks. They are all gathered together, with their heads lowered, as if they are mourning for something.
Jon didn't hide his whereabouts. He pushed aside the bushes in front of him and walked directly into the open space.
Such a movement was immediately noticed by all the unicorns gathered here. They raised their heads together, paddling their hooves on the grass uneasily, and looked at Jon with alert eyes.
Jon did not pick up the wand to defend himself, but raised the wooden sign and spoke Wen Yan in as soft a voice as possible.
"Do you know this? Don't be afraid, I am Rubeus Hagrid's friend."
The vigilance in the eyes of most unicorns did not disappear. They aimed their unicorns at Jon eagerly. However, the one with the tallest size and the purest hair surpassed all the others of its kind and walked away.
Arriving in front of Jon.
It stuck out its head and sniffed the wooden sign held in Jon's hand carefully, and then its tense body relaxed significantly. Obviously, it knew Hagrid.
"Are you in any trouble? I can try to help you."
After gaining the initial trust of these unicorns, Jon continued.
The unicorn that recognized Hagrid's wooden sign seemed to be the leader of the herd. It stared at Jon for a while with its beautiful eyes, and then called twice to its companions.
After hearing its orders, several unicorns in the unicorn herd were obviously a little reluctant, but in the end they all faced Jon's direction and made way for a passage.
Following this gap, Jon finally saw what was surrounded by them.
It was also a unicorn, but it looked like it was less than half the size of the adult unicorns around it. It was a cub that hadn't grown up yet.
What is shocking is that there is a large area of horrific burns on its back, and all the fur on its back has disappeared, revealing a piece of burnt black flesh!
The little unicorn is lying on its side on the grass. It can still breathe, but just from the sound of breathing, you can tell that it can't last long with such a serious injury. The burned area will still dimly light up from time to time.
There was an orange fire, and the injury was getting worse.
Silver blood mixed with black particles flowed on the grass until it spread to Jon's feet.
Jon knelt down and looked into the eyes of this little unicorn. Its eyes were so pure and filled with the desire to survive.
"Those fire dragons, right? Did you have a conflict with them?"
Such burns made it easy for Jon to judge the situation that these unicorns were encountering. After hearing his words, the unicorns around him were snoring and paddling their hooves restlessly.
The correctness of his conjecture was verified from their performance, and then Jon turned his attention to the little unicorn's injuries again.
The burns on its back were obviously caused by the dragon's breath. The fierce flames were not just as simple as high temperature, they would also spread inward along the flesh and blood. This was a bit like Lihuo, but unlike Lihuo, everything could burn.
So domineering.
But just to this extent, it could kill this little unicorn.
Under normal circumstances, unicorns themselves also have extremely high magic resistance. As long as they are not directly hit, ordinary dragon breath will not cause much damage to them at all. The adult unicorns around them are proof.
And this little unicorn must not only have been directly swept by the dragon's breath, but also because its own physique has not yet matured, and its magic resistance is not as strong as other adult unicorns.
This is why its current injury is so serious. Otherwise, if it is an ordinary burn, even if it is serious to this extent, it can survive relying on the unicorn's own tenacious vitality. After all, the unicorn's blood
It was originally said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the dying unicorn in front of him, Jon was helpless at first.
He does know how to prepare potions to treat burns, but those potions can only be effective on ordinary burns, and the dragon's breath naturally contains the magic power of the dragon itself. This kind of magic power cannot be cleared by ordinary means.
.
When Jon was thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned.
He may not be able to remove the magic power, but he can absorb the magic power!
Jon quickly took out the ring he wore around his neck, and then tentatively pointed it at the location where the unicorn had been burned.
Although he had successfully absorbed a lot of ownerless magic in the past, those were all left by wizards. This was his first time trying to use magic left by magical animals like this. Whether he could succeed or not, Jon himself had no idea.
I know that now he can only do his best and obey fate.
And just a few seconds after the ring hovered over the unicorn's wound, Jon could clearly feel that a strange magic power was being absorbed.
This kind of magic power is different from all the magic power he has absorbed before. It is obvious that the quality of the magic power itself is very high, but there is no way to bring much room for improvement in the magic power itself absorbed by the ring.
However, Jon originally didn't expect that absorbing the magic power of dragons would bring much enhancement to himself. As the magic power was gradually extracted from the burned area, the unicorn's condition improved significantly.
The surrounding adult unicorns also felt the changes in the little unicorn's injury. They couldn't help but get closer to Jon, their eyes showing bright eyes.
All the magic power of the fire dragon has been extracted, but the burns on the unicorn's body are still there, and because the erosion of magic power has not been delayed for a long time, the burns have penetrated into its internal organs. If it is not treated immediately, it will continue to be delayed.
, and may also be life-threatening.
Jon stood up from the ground, stretched out his hand and gestured to the leading unicorn while describing.
"Have you ever seen a grass plant with round leaves in the Forbidden Forest? There are obvious white lines on the leaves. Their juice has a significant therapeutic effect on various types of wounds."
The leading unicorn understood what Jon said. It first turned around and planned to run in one direction, but then hesitantly turned around again and slowly knelt down facing Jon.
He raised his forelimbs and bent his upper body at the same time.
Jon blinked, he was a little disbelieving.
"You want me to ride you?"
The unicorn raised its head and blinked its bright eyes, as if in response.
Jon really didn't expect that unicorns would be willing to let a man like himself come into close contact. According to the wizard's years of research on this creature, they were generally only willing to come close to pure virgins, especially little girls.
In this situation, he could only attribute it to his own actions in saving the little unicorn and allowing it to restrain its instincts.
Of course, Jon didn't feel any pressure to ride on the unicorn. He climbed directly onto the unicorn's back. Then the unicorn didn't stop for a moment. It immediately took off its hooves and started running wildly in the northeast direction.

...
When the Triwizard Tournament started, other students were not allowed to watch.
Even the students on the carriage stayed in the carriage throughout the day and Dumbledore taught them.
Even when they arrived at Hogwarts Castle, their studies would definitely not be delayed, and it was of course perfect for Dumbledore, who was always staying in the car, to teach them.
Just when these students were having class in the afternoon, the surrounding students discovered that Hermione, who had been there in the afternoon, was now missing.
Lavender asked this question, and Dumbledore answered calmly.
"Miss Granger asked me for leave due to some special matters. Don't worry, she will be back tomorrow."
He didn't say where Hermione had gone, but Lavender didn't ask any more questions. After all, as long as Dumbledore knew where she was, it would prove that Hermione was safe enough.
At the same time, Hermione was in the cabin of the carriage making a final inspection of the things she had obtained.
An invisibility cloak, a Marauder's Map, and...a golden-red bird!
Fox stood elegantly on Hermione's bed, combing his feathers, while the ghost of Ms. Gray looked at Hermione with a surprised look on her face.
"Have you made up your mind to help me, Hermione? And you went to Dumbledore specifically to apply for this phoenix?"
When he heard someone mentioning himself, Fox raised his head, glanced at Ms. Gray with disdain, and then focused on his feathers again.
After hearing Ms. Grey's words, Hermione said without raising her head.
"The relationship between us is not close enough to call each other by name, Ms. Grey, and I obviously did not prepare these things for you."
She was so outspoken that the original joy on Ms. Gray's face suddenly turned a little pale.
"But you're going into that castle, right? Dumbledore asked you to go?"
Hermione said calmly.
"It's me who thinks I'm qualified for this task."
"Then why can't you help me too, kid? I promise that I will help you too. As long as anything happens that may put you in danger, I will not force you to continue. You can choose to give up on your own."
Hermione did not answer her first, but carefully opened the Marauder's Map, and at the same time waved her wand and used a spell to open the map.
The next moment, the entire Hogwarts appeared before her eyes.
At the first moment, she looked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. However, this map could only cover the edge of the Forbidden Forest. In addition to seeing some Aurors and Matthew's three referees wandering around there, she also
Nothing else can be gained.
Not seeing the name she wanted to see, this result made Hermione a little disappointed. She shook her head and returned her gaze to Hogwarts Castle, while answering what Ms. Gray just said.
"I can agree to your request."
Ms. Gray was stunned at first. She had almost given up on Hermione's promise to her. She thought that she had no choice but to sneak into Hogwarts Castle herself and try to persuade a castle.
The students inside help her do this.
Unexpectedly, Hermione actually relented at the last moment, and an expression of joy suddenly appeared on her face.
"Thank you so much...Thank you so much, Ms. Granger!"
But when Hermione looked away from the Marauder's Map, she continued to say what she had not finished just now.
"I can help you, but as you said, when I encounter risky things, I can choose to continue or give up. At the same time, you also have to promise me one thing."
Ms. Gray said urgently.
"you say."
"During this process, you cannot follow me into Hogwarts Castle."
