Chapter 123: The Centaurs' Change
next day
After Jill finished her breakfast, she took Li Qingyue to the greenhouse and found Professor Sprout who was taking care of the flowers and plants.
"Professor Sprout, we're here." Jill shouted excitedly.
"Come on, pick up the pile of farm tools in the corner and get ready to go." Sprout pointed to the farm tools piled in the corner, and naturally Li Qingyue was the one who went to get them.
Li Qingyue just lightly tapped his finger, and immediately one of the hoes turned into a thin rope, which tied up all the farm tools. Then Li Qingyue raised his finger upwards, and immediately these farm tools followed Li Qingyue obediently.
"I have to say, your magic is really very convenient in daily life." Li Qingyue couldn't help but sigh.
Professor Sprout just smiled and said nothing, but the three of them met an unexpected person on their way to the Forbidden Forest.
"Hermione, why are you here?" Professor Sprout asked in surprise.
"I want to go to the Forbidden Forest to practice magic." Hermione stuck out her tongue and said timidly.
"You know that the Forbidden Forest is very dangerous, and you are not proficient in magic yet."
"But it is precisely because I am not skilled enough that I want to go to the Forbidden Forest."
Li Qingyue ruffled her fluffy hair and said, "Hermione, the Forbidden Forest is indeed very dangerous. If you want to learn Constantine's magic, I suggest you find other students. After all, the first magic Constantine taught you was the Ring of Raggadoor, if I'm not mistaken. You just need to find other students to cast magic on you, and then you can use the Ring of Raggadoor to resist. Gradually, you will become familiar with it and gain combat experience."
"Is it really possible?"
"Otherwise, how do you think Constantine has his current strength? He also started from scratch and gained experience from battles. You are still young, so take your time and don't rush." After saying that, Li Qingyue changed the direction Hermione was facing and pushed her gently.
"Okay, let's go back to the castle. Don't go to the Forbidden Forest alone. The Forbidden Forest is not safe now."
Hermione nodded, said goodbye to the three people, and skipped towards the castle. Looking at her lively back, the three people couldn't help but smile.
Afterwards, the three of them actually entered the Forbidden Forest. Because the edges had already been picked by professors of herbal medicine classes of all generations, and the edge of the Forbidden Forest was too safe, there were always some naughty students in each class who went to the edge of the Forbidden Forest to play, or to pick herbs to make potions. After all, not every student was a rich second generation, and they always had to find a way to make some money, and potions were a good way.
In addition, they only picked the herbs but did not plant them back, which resulted in fewer and fewer herbs on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. So every time Professor Sprout wanted to pick some herbs that could only be grown in the Forbidden Forest, he had to go deeper.
"The Forbidden Forest has changed a lot now. I used to be able to hear the calls of some magical animals, but now I can hear nothing. The entire Forbidden Forest seems to have withered overnight. It is lifeless." Professor Sprout said quietly.
Not to mention her, even Li Qingyue and the others felt something was wrong, but soon they seemed to know what was going on.
At this moment, a gray centaur rushed towards them, and behind it were several sharp arrows as thick as fists. Li Qingyue pointed lightly forward, and everything became suspended in air.
"Wizards, do you want to be enemies with us centaurs?" the leading centaur shouted.
"It's only been a short time and you've already revealed your true colors." Li Qingyue said calmly. He glared and a powerful force burst out. The group of centaurs were pushed back dozens of meters.
"Don't provoke me, otherwise I will destroy you centaurs first without Dumbledore's help!" Li Qingyue shouted harshly. Immediately, the group of centaurs looked at Li Qingyue with fear in their eyes, because in their eyes, a demon shadow appeared behind Li Qingyue, which scared them so much that they quickly fled from here.
"Are you okay? By the way, why are they chasing you?" Li Qingyue said, helping the centaur in front of him.
"Professor Sprout, do you remember me?"
"You are Firenze, how did you become like this?" Professor Sprout shouted in surprise, because the current Firenze looked completely different from the one they saw on the day the curse was lifted. His body was covered with wounds, and although these wounds were scabbed over, it was still not difficult to see how seriously he had been injured.
"The centaur tribe has completely changed. They have gone crazy. They are slaughtering the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest crazily. Now, almost half of the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest are gone." Firenze said weakly.
"Why do they kill these magical animals?"
"Eat. I don't know why. Since the curse was lifted, their appetites have changed. We used to eat vegetarian food, with meat occasionally, but it was cooked. But since the curse was lifted, they seem to like eating raw meat, or eating it directly from corpses. I couldn't stand this way of eating, so I planned to go out alone to find some fruit to eat, but they found me and forced me to eat raw meat. When I refused, they wanted to catch me, but I escaped."
"Then they kept hunting me down, thinking that I was unworthy of being a real centaur. They wanted to kill me and cut me into pieces and eat me. In order to survive, I had no choice but to flee, but they never let me go."
Hearing this, Professor Sprout's expression became more and more unsightly.
"Qingyue, we need to inform Headmaster Dumbledore. Firenze, please follow us to Hogwarts Castle."
"No, I can't leave the Forbidden Forest. If I leave, it will break the balance and they will rush out of the Forbidden Forest. I can't leave!" Firenze refused without even thinking.
"Don't worry, they don't dare to do anything wrong. Besides, what use will you have if you stay here except being caught and eaten by them? Let's go. At the same time, I will have people seal off the forbidden forest." Li Qingyue said.
"I understand, thank you." Firenze said excitedly.
Then Li Qingyue asked them to leave first. He needed to go and see the current horse tribe to see if such changes had really taken place.
When Li Qingyue arrived above the centaur tribe, he was sure that what Firenze said was right. At this time in the centaur tribe, a group of centaurs were eating the blood and fur of a magical animal that could no longer be recognized like wild beasts.
