"I received the news that I came to pick you up at 5:30, but didn't expect you to go the wrong way." The old man said slowly.

Wrong way?

The cold fingers began to warm up, and Hoffa's face gradually returned to normal.

There is no doubt that the old man carrying a bow and arrow in front of him is the guard of Hogwarts' hunting grounds.

"Why are you clothing this thing at the entrance!?" Hoffa pointed to the tree trunk, suppressing an angry question.

He thought that he was fortunate to have a Meditation Method. If he was an ordinary First Year student, he would be scared to pee his pants. That kind of magic is no joke.

"It was not arranged by me, it was arranged by Forbidden Forest Centaur."

old man indifferently said, there is no meaning to explain it.

"What, why did Centaur do this?"

"The Forbidden Forest is not at a level recently, and they want to help." old man twitched his lips, "Come with me Right."

After speaking, he tightened the bow and arrow on his back and wandered into the Forbidden Forest.

Looking at the old man disappearing in the Forbidden Forest, Hoffa followed him and asked: "What are the three pictures on the tree?"

"In the past, now, The future." The old man said lightly, "You will be fine after you follow me, don't run around."

"What?" The old man's pace is a bit fast, and Hoffa has to speed up to keep up with him. "What is the past, present and future, can you explain it more clearly?"

"I don't know, I am not interested in the magic of Centaur. If you want to know, I suggest you ask a Centaur."

>

See the old man who doesn't really want to talk nonsense. Hoffa had to shut up and hurried silently.

Following the old man, it really didn’t happen again, and the surrounding scenery was much more real. There was no fork in the road or the previous weirdness. It was just a very ordinary wood.

After walking for about 3 minutes, his vision became clear. Hoffa saw the slight light in the forest and the sound of crackle fire in the air.

The old man took Hoffa to a campfire in a glade. He took off his bow and arrow and pointed to the opposite side of the fire.

"Sit down, I'm a little busy tonight, we will leave after dinner."

There is a cobblestone opposite the fire, which is covered by trees, the ground is dry, and there is no rain. . There was a tin can on the fire, and something was simmering in it, and there was a slight smell of meat in the air.

Hoffa sat down in Yiyan and didn't speak for a while, but with the light of the fire, he looked up and down at the old man opposite.

Joy Dago.

This is the least wizard-like guy he has ever seen. He wears a fur coat and only has one eye. Several steel daggers stuck in his waist. Carrying a wooden bow and an iron arrow, there are still two dead hares hanging on the wooden frame beside him.

If it weren't because he was in Hogwarts, Hoffa would only think he was a little-known country hunter.

Joy Dago did not speak, in fact, since Hoffa appeared, he has been quite taciturn. He had been fiddled with the stone in front of him with the tongs, and he didn't even look at Hoffa more.

The silence lasted for about 5 minutes. Hoffa took out a parchment from his arms: "Sir, this is my assessment form."

Across the fire, Hoffa is polite Handed over the list. ”

"en. ”

The old man took the score sheet and went into his pocket without looking at it.

Then he continued to fiddle with the stones And charcoal fire.

Hoffa tentatively asked: "Ah, may I ask Mr. Dago, what task do I have tonight? "

"Just call me Joey. "

The man said indifferently, without raising his head.

His accent is not like Britain, but like America.

"Uh. "

Hoffa didn't know how to answer the call for a while, so she shut up and said nothing.

About twenty minutes later, the smell of meat in the air became more intense.

p>

Hoffa only ate a little potato pie and a few chicken drumsticks before he came. His belly was hollow and he smelled the scent. He couldn't help but salivate a little.

Joy took it from behind. I took out a spoon, opened the tin tin can and turned it around.

The tin tin tin was originally stewed with rabbit meat and beans. It was red and very attractive.

old man slightly After tasting the taste, I took out a wooden dish from behind. I put some on it and handed it to Hoffa. Hoffa quickly thanked him, and took it.

A spoonful of beans entered the mouth, and a warm feeling came from the mouth. It's warm to the belly and delicious. The beans are rotten and the rabbit meat is delicious. This is completely different from the food made by Hogwarts house elf, rough but unique.

Hoffa is eating beans, thinking about this If there was a bowl of white rice at that time, it would be perfect.

Joey had no white rice. He took out a piece of whole wheat bread from behind, broke it, and divided it among Hoffa. Then he also served a piece of it. A bowl of beans.

Hoffa swallowed it with bread dipped in rabbit meat sauce, and the warmth in his belly gradually dispelled the anxiety and fear caused by Centaur magic.

"You are the one called A student of Hoffa Bach? Joey asked while eating.

Hoffa nodded, with beans stuffed in his mouth, he said vaguely: "Yes. "

"You did not come by coincidence. The mission tonight is more dangerous. You need to go deeper into the Forbidden Forest. When the time comes, don't get lost, understand? "

"What exactly is the task?" "Hoffa asked.

"Save a few magical creatures. The old man said without raising his eyes.

"What animal?" Hoffa was curious, the old man always said only a little bit.

"Dodo."

Dodo... Does this sound dangerous?

Hoffa did not refuse. His current goal is to be an obediently and honestly man and eliminate the bad record in school.

The old man eats very quickly. After a few bites, he takes his bow and arrow on his back. I light a torch and grab it in my hand.

"Let's go."

Hoffa put down the dinner plate followed along.

Forbidden Forest at night, Hoffa came for the first time. He was still a little panicked. If he was a generation with Harry and knew what he would meet, even if he would meet Voldemort in the soul state, or a giant spider, he would not panic, because it was certain and known. It will happen.

But now, he doesn't even know what will happen in this forest, and he doesn't know the old man next to him. Everything is unknown, and this is what worries Hoffa the most.

Especially when Mawei was taken down by the weird magic illusion, Hoffa walked very cautiously.

Joy caught a glimpse of Hoffa’s conservative stance and asked as he walked: "Your Gryffindor?"

"No, Ravenclaw."

"Ravenclaw, it's true Surprisingly, I have been in Hogwarts for 10 years, and for the first time I saw students from Ravenclaw College were punished to come to the Forbidden Forest."

Hoffa mouth opened wide, what? I was the first Ravenclaw student to be punished in the Forbidden Forest in 10 years.

Joy continued: "The one who comes to me the most is Gryffindor. Those surplus brats can’t wait to break every rule. Next is Hufflepuff, then Slytherin, Ravenclaw, you still The first one."

Hoffa silently shut up. I have to say that the old man's words are quite effective, and the trace of anxiety in Hoffa's chest was quickly suppressed.

This old man seems to have a lot of experience, so many Gryffindors are fine, and it shouldn't be something to himself.

After another ten minutes of walking, there was a gurgling sound in his ears. Joey suddenly reached out and stopped Hoffa, and they came to a stream. It's not as dark as in the Forbidden Forest just now, because there are some fungus plants that emit yellow and blue fluorescence on the ground.

Their small canopies emit a dim dim light in the dark night, which is very beautiful.

But Hoffa's stomach tightened as they watched them inexplicably think of the mushrooms in the illusion.

Joy stood still by the stream, Hoffa turned his head curiously and asked: "What's wrong?"

"Wait a minute, wait for a friend." Joey said indifferently.

"Friends?" Hoffa was curious.

Before he could ask, he understood who his friend was.

In the forest at night, there was an amazing scene of beauty.

A Unicorn with silver white radiance all over, walked out of the forest slowly. It has a soft mane, like a horse, but much cleaner and more beautiful than a horse.

Several colorful butterflies are Mobiliarbus around the unicorn on its head. The look is very gratifying.

Old Joey bent over and bowed to Unicorn across the stream. Hoffa was shocked by the beauty of this animal and couldn’t help but bowed. Unicorn nodded, immediately drank the stream, changed direction, and entered Deep in the Forbidden Forest.

"Let's go." Joey motioned for Hoffa to follow.

"Unicorn knows everything in the forest. Usually they will help you find problems in the forest. But basically the problems they find are usually not minor problems. Forbidden Forest may have something wrong."

Joy followed Unicorn and explained to Hoffa in a low voice.

Hoffa looked at the vague silver silhouette in front of him. It leaped in the dark forest, moving very fast and very light, barely making any sound. Every time its hooves step on the ground, it will leave some bright magic marks, and small and bright plants will quickly grow out of those marks, which are very conspicuous on the dark surface.

This is the second time Hoffa has seen a magical creature. The last time he saw a magical creature was by the dark wizard Schmidt's side. But those creatures almost killed Hoffa.

Run 5 points.

Joy: "I'm almost at the Dodo's lair."

Hoffa: "Oh."

I have been to magic school for so long, and Hoffa also has it With a little common sense of magical creatures, the Dodo is a gentle and compliant small bird, good at running away, and not offensive.

This kind of bird should be very safe...

Wait! !

What is that! ?

I saw Unicorn stop. Neighed.

Joy lights up wand, Hoffa sucked in a breath of cold air, and takes six or seven steps back in a row. Leaning on the tree, it was beyond shock.

In the middle of the forest, there is a huge creature, like a mountain bag, with an eagle head, six wings, gray feathers, and deep golden eyes.

It is at least ten meters long, and still in its nest, heaven knows how big this thing really flies.

Here, Hoffa feels the weather is suffocating, just like the sultry heat before the summer rainstorm. Hell, Britain is now October.

There is some inexplicable electric energy floating around, making Hoffa's scalp numb.

The giant bird looked up at Hoffa, then whispered. Said that he was not malicious.

Joy calmly said: "This is Taras, my friend."

Hoffa is shocked: "This guy is a Dodo, are you kidding me?"

p>

"No, it is Thunderbird."

Simply speaking, Joey stepped forward and patted the beak of the giant bird.

The giant bird arched Joey affectionately, his head bigger than his body. Joey's expression softened. He held the bird's head, talked to it in a low voice, and fed it something to eat from time to time.

But the bird can't eat anymore.

Hoffa from the very beginning's shock eased, and he only noticed it at this time.

This bird is very old. The ground is covered with thick feathers. Many feathers on its body have fallen off. Its eyes don’t have much brilliance. Its wings are drooping weakly, and it is almost dead. Look like.

Thunderbird, the old Thunderbird.

The legendary creature. This kind of bird that spreads its wings can call thunder and lightning, and Hoffa has also seen it in the movie in his previous life. This bird only lives in Arizona, USA. Why is there one in Britain Forbidden Forest?

Walking around this magical creature, Hoffa muttered: "I remember, this is a 4X-level magical creature marked by the Ministry of Magic... and a dragon level. Now, it is strictly forbidden to breed and..."

"So what," Joey said indifferently holding the bird's head. "Rules are just tools made by people. No one in the animal world decides whose territory belongs to whom."

"The school people...know?"

Joey just glanced at Hoffa without speaking.

Hoffa chatted, he can only speculate that Thunderbird was brought by Joey, because Joey sounds like an American.

Joy Chili gu lu spoke a few words to Thunderbird, and then Thunderbird lifted up his wings with difficulty, then whispered again, his voice a little sad.

Hoffa took a closer look and found out that under the huge Thunderbird's wings, there was a small natural shack. There were many nests of terrestrial birds on the ground, scattered here and there. Bird feathers. Or red or blue.

Hoffa walked slowly around the shack, kicking a hard object on his foot, and he startled. When he fixed his eyes, he found a stiff, dead bird.

It is the size of a hen, eyes opened wide, and its bright feathers have lost its luster.

A dead dodo bird.

Hoffa turned along the shack, and then he sucked in a breath of cold air.

Turning around the fir tree behind Thunderbird, dozens of colorful round chocobos lie close and numerous on the ground.

The dodo birds are all dead, they moved towards one direction, their bodies are stiff, and there is a faint breath of death in the air.

It seems that they were killed instantly at the moment of escape.

Unicorn circled around Hoffa and walked slowly. Its mood is a little sad, and it doesn't want to stay here. I saw it arched a few bird eggs on the ground, then ran away quickly and disappeared among the woods.

Joy turned around holding the shiny wand, and his expression was a bit solemn when he saw this scene in front of him.

He fumbled on the ground, browsing tightly frowns. From time to time, he put his hand to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

"Death does not exceed 48 hours, damn it."

Thunderbird whispered, his voice a little angry and unwilling.

Joy lifts the head and said to Thunderbird: "It's not your fault, you are old."

Thunderbird is no longer called.

Joy rubbed his chin muttered: "Even Unicorn and Thunderbird lied to them. The murderer is really amazing..."

At this moment, the air suddenly There are pop, pop, and pop light sounds, which are similar to the popping sound of soap bubbles.
