Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs
Chapter 28 Quenching Thirst
What finally appeared in front of Lu Ke's eyes was a spring.
But I don't know if it's an illusion, but the water in this spring is as bright red as blood.
Quirrell spoke before Lu Ke: "Is this the water to quench my thirst?"
But the centaur shook his head: "We'll talk about your business later, guest."
He turned and looked at Lu Ke: "Let's solve this matter first."
The centaur's face was a mixture of fear and helplessness.
He picked a leaf from a tree on one side, rolled it into a funnel shape, and put it into the spring water.
At that moment, Lu Ke was sure that the spring water was indeed bright red.
"Drink it."
The horseman handed the spring water in his hand to Lu Ke.
At that moment, Lu Ke smelled the smell of blood mixed with alcohol from the burning fire.
He didn't answer.
"I do not drink."
The centaur was stunned for a moment.
Judging from the expression on his face, he seemed to be angry.
"This is not wine, this is the blood of Dionysus."
Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh.
Even though he has a poor memory and doesn't know much about the magical world, he is extremely familiar with Greek mythology.
And the wizarding world is indeed inextricably linked to ancient Greece.
The so-called "blood of Dionysus" is definitely a very dangerous thing.
"Would you let a foal drink something like this?"
The centaur was stunned.
The anger was almost completely gone from his face.
This is a serious matter, no foal has ever drunk this stuff, it's too dangerous.
"But... the test must be completed..."
The centaurs were in a tangle.
Lu Ke smiled and remained silent.
But he noticed that Chilo was swallowing his saliva while looking at the "Blood of Dionysus" in the centaur's hands.
It seems that the "quenching thirst" he said at the beginning was not just talk.
And it seems that the target is something that sounds very dangerous just by the name.
The centaur finally gave up.
He reached out and poured the liquid in the leaves back into the spring, leaving the leaves still on the shore.
Lu Ke noticed that the leaves immediately turned black and dry.
"Stay here, guest."
Other centaurs came from behind and guarded Quirrell's side.
The leading horseman took Lu Ke out of the dense forest alone and returned to the grass.
He stood in the shadow of the boulder, silent for a moment, as if he was struggling with what to replace the dangerous liquid.
"My name is Lu Ke."
Lu Ke stretched out his hand towards the horseman.
The centaur was stunned for a moment.
He bent forward in silence, stretched out his hand as if with great effort, and shook Lu Ke's hand.
"Ronan."
Lu Ke nodded: "Hello, Ronan."
Then Ronan the Centaur fell silent.
He really didn't know what to replace the blood of Dionysus with.
It is a dangerous but absolutely reliable magical liquid.
It is called the Blood of Dionysus, and as the name suggests, it is the blood of the god of wine.
This is a bright red liquid produced from plants, which is itself a collection of primitive vitality.
Only the strong bodies of adult centaurs can withstand the power of the blood of Dionysus, which will explosively increase their strength and plunge them into a crazy illusion. But after the illusion ends, the centaurs' power will Become stronger.
If you are not a centaur, you can gain terrifying vitality by drinking the blood of Dionysus, but at the same time you will fall into unsolvable madness.
That is not an illusion, but a deep madness that twists human nature.
When Hufflepuff asked the centaurs to prepare for the test of her heir, the centaurs decided it was the blood of Dionysus almost without thinking, because Hufflepuff was the only one who drank this liquid without falling into it. crazy people.
Because she has an absolutely kind and pure heart that will not be distorted by any force.
Only such people will be recognized by the centaurs as the successors of Hufflepuff.
Of course, only the horse people know this, Lu Ke has no idea at all.
He was completely unaware that he had escaped an extremely dangerous test just by relying on his intuition.
Ronan picked up a horn from his waist and blew it.
Then from the shadows on all sides, several other centaurs stepped out.
They all looked far less strong than Ronan, but they were all older than him.
They gathered together and bowed to Ronan: "Is something wrong?"
Ronan also bowed, and then sighed helplessly: "We cannot let the foal touch the blood of Dionysus."
The four centaurs around him fell silent.
"But the test..."
"The content of the test has been determined a thousand years ago..."
They said distressedly while looking at Lu Ke.
"What a miracle..."
"A foal became the successor of Hufflepuff..."
"No, he may not be able to pass the test yet..."
"But a foal... the heart is always a little purer."
In the end, it was a horseman with silver-white hair who convinced the other horsemen and made the final decision: "He bypassed one danger, and then he must face another. Only horsemen will become horseman's companions."
Ronan nodded: "Only by becoming a centaur's companion can he pass the Hufflepuff test and become the successor."
As if he had finally made up his mind, he nodded to Lu Ke: "Follow me, Lu Ke."
Lu Ke nodded and followed Ronan to the grass in front of the boulder.
Several other centaurs followed.
But they left for a while, seemingly to prepare.
A centaur threw a bow and arrow and a spear on the ground in front of Lu Ke.
"The centaurs fight with the simplest of weapons, but we are invincible."
Ronan took off the bow and arrow from his body and walked to Lu Ke.
"This is your test to prove you are a strong warrior."
Lu Ke nodded, thought for a moment, and picked up the spear from the ground.
Ronan was noncommittal, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was a little contemptuous.
Of course Lu Ke's choice was correct, because bows and arrows, especially the longbows of the horsemen, require systematic training to master the correct usage, while spears do not have this problem.
But giving up bows and arrows means that there is no long-range attack method. Facing the horsemen who move as fast as the wind, this is almost like surrendering.
Of course, according to the centaurs' habit of not caring about anything when fighting, Lu Ke might be seriously injured.
After all, this was a test, and the rule of not harming the foal was automatically ignored.
Ronan had many thoughts in his mind, but he just nodded silently and raised his weapon.
The silver-maned centaur on one side shouted: "Start!"
Then the bowstring in Ronan's hand rang.
At this time, Lu Ke held the spear with both hands and faced it directly in front of him.
He shook his spear and knocked an arrow to the ground.
All the centaurs had a look of surprise on their faces.
They never thought that Lu Ke could do such a thing.
