Ryan was surprised when he heard this sentence, because it was spoken by an adult woman's voice, but it was different from the voice of any professor in the school.
Fortunately, being able to speak means being able to communicate, and there is hope to avoid a meaningless battle. So Ryan mustered up the courage to shout: "I have no malice and no intention to hurt anyone. I can exit the forest now."
"Hey, now, don't be so nervous. I just want to thank you for your help to the unicorns." As soon as he finished speaking, a figure came out of the jungle.
"Centaurs!" Ryan exclaimed in a low voice, and this was actually a female centaur who had never appeared in the novel. But think about it, centaurs don't grow out of the ground, so how could they only be male?
?
This female horsewoman looks to be in her 30s, wearing a set of exquisite brown leather armor, with a black hammer hanging from her waist. The part of her horse is white, and there are two circular rings hanging on the left and right sides of the horse.
Shield and her bow.
Seeing that she was not holding a weapon, Ryan put away the plants as a sign of friendship.
She walked up to Ryan with an elegant step, then bent down and said to Ryan: "Mars began to slowly become brighter. Everyone thought this was a very bad omen, and stubbornly believed that God's will was unbreakable. However,
I believe that sometimes it is our duty and part of God's will to help the innocent. This is why I came out today, and I saw you curing the unicorn here."
"This is what I should do. After all, for the elves in the forest, as long as a capable normal person sees them in danger, they will help them." Ryan raised his head and said.
"Yeah, what kind of monster do you think is going to attack the unicorn?" the centaur asked.
"I'm not sure, but I found that the injured unicorn seemed to have lost a lot of blood."
"Oh my God, that's too bad. Is this prophecy true? But the centaur's prophecies are not without mistakes. I hope this time is also a mistake." The centaur woman raised her head and muttered to herself.
Ryan looked at the centaur who seemed to be in a daze, so he said aloud: "Ah, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Ryan; Ryan Liang, a first-year student of Gryffindor House. We met today during the night outing.
I picked up some silver liquid and chased it out of curiosity. As a result, I cured the unicorn by chance."
"This is not a coincidence, unicorns do not trust humans so easily." The female centaur said, "My name is Betty, from the nearby centaur tribe. I am here to protect this group of unicorns from external dark forces.
Violation. Because unicorns don’t trust men, I was assigned to protect them.”
"Then why did that unicorn allow me to treat him?" Ryan asked in confusion.
"It's very simple. On the one hand, you are still a foal. Male unicorns who have not reached puberty can still barely accept it. On the other hand," Betty raised her head and looked at the sky.
"I can see a lot of life's gratitude to you from you. You have saved at least thousands of innocent lives. I can even feel the natural gratitude you gained from fighting a large number of destructive unnatural monsters.
Although this natural gratitude is a little different from the one I am familiar with. My reason tells me that this is unlikely. But I firmly believe that the secrets about you that the stars showed me are true, so the unicorns can accept it.
It is understandable that you would like to be treated by a friend of nature."
Having said this, Centaur Betty came closer. While looking at Ryan up and down, he continued: "I am very curious about how you, a little guy, did it? After all, our leader has been fighting for nature all his life, and he has received so much from nature.
I can’t thank you enough, not to mention that you have some weird plant helpers around you who are blessed by nature.”
"Well, I have some difficulties, so I can't tell you what I did. I can only say that what you saw is true." Ryan said a little embarrassed.
"As long as it's true, I think I can completely trust those who are blessed by nature. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what I saw. After all, everyone has their own secrets." Betty said seriously. "But.
I think as a student, you should not come out now, let alone be so close to the dangerous core of the Forbidden Forest, so I will send you out now."
After saying that, Betty took out a large basket from behind the tree and put Ryan in it (don't worry, this is what I originally planned to use to collect the hay that was laid on the ground when I slept, it was very clean.). Then she hung all the weapons aside and hung the basket.
on the other side.
Ryan discovered that centaurs are indeed a race close to nature. Even if Betty is trotting, she can avoid the dense branches blocking the road and walk on flat ground in the forest.
"By the way, you just heard me talk about the prophecy after the unicorn lost a lot of blood? Of course, if this involves you or the secrets of your tribe, just pretend that I didn't ask.
"After Ryan sat in the basket and adjusted his posture, he asked the question in his heart.
"Of course this is not a secret, let me think about where to start. Well, do you know what the unicorn blood is used for?" Betty asked.
"I don't know," Ryan said a little strangely when he heard this question. "We only used its horns and tail hairs in Potions class. I was also a little curious, but the book I read hinted at the use of a unicorn.
The blood of the beast is an evil act."
"This is because attacking a unicorn to obtain blood is a cruel thing, and killing a unicorn by draining its blood while sucking blood gives you the most powerful power, but it is also an extremely evil act," Betty said.
"Only the most cruel and evil people would commit such a heinous crime. They want to escape the laws of nature and continue their lives that are no longer normal."
Having said this, Betty shivered, as if something terrible had happened to her.
After a pause, Betty continued, "As long as you still have breath, the unicorn's blood can save your life. But this will also be cursed by nature, and the blood drinker will have a half-dead life.
A cursed life."
"This kind of choice is worse than death. It is estimated that only those who urgently need to survive and have alternatives can make it. As far as I know, the Sorcerer's Stone seems to be hidden in the Hogwarts castle. So"
Just as Ryan was about to finish speaking, Betty put her finger in front of her mouth and made a quiet gesture.
"We saw it, Mars became bright again. I think you also know what will happen, but please don't say it, because we don't want to get involved in your wizard's affairs for the time being. Besides, you are still a foal, and you shouldn't
Worry about these things."
At this time, Betty walked to the path less than 20 meters away from the Forbidden Forest. She picked up Ryan from the frame and placed it on the ground.
"I don't want to meet others. You can walk the rest of the way by yourself." After saying that, he took out a small silver ring from his quiver and threw it to Ryan. "You helped the unicorns. I want to thank you on their behalf. You
If you have time to go to Greece, there is a temple of Chiron on the island of Crete. This ring will tell you the specific location of the temple. If you come to the door with this ring, my teacher will give you the gift you deserve.
for you."
After saying that, Betty turned around, shook her tail gracefully, walked into the jungle and left.
