Chapter 97 95. Firenze the Centaur

With the gentle sound of horse hooves, a creature with human upper body and lower body horse gradually appeared in the field of vision, speaking human words and holding a bow and arrow.

The centaurs are legendary beings recorded by ordinary people. They are humanoid creatures with intelligence close to that of humans.

Although they themselves do not consider themselves to be magical creatures, and with their arrogant personalities, they do not consider themselves to be the same people as wizards, vampires, and witches.

Therefore, the records of the Ministry of Magic simply classified them as beasts.

It is said that there is a group of centaurs living deep in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

This one is one of them.

The cloaked man was very decisive when he saw this, and quickly flew backwards, disappearing into the dark forbidden forest.

Not a single word was said during the whole process, and not a single superfluous action was taken.

Dudley didn't chase him. He still understood the principle of chasing after a poor enemy.

I can't keep the other person for the time being.

"Thanks for the help, Firenze."

Dudley thanked the other party. Without his help, it would have been very troublesome to deal with the cloaked man by himself and an underage dragon.

Both the type of spells and the magic power are far beyond those of ordinary wizards.

Although Dudley still has a lot of trump cards that he hasn't revealed yet, who knows that the opponent doesn't have any left?

At least he can be sure that the other party seems to have some scruples and has never released the famous murderous curse in the wizarding world, Avada.

If you say that the other party doesn't know how to do it, no one will believe it.

"You're welcome," Firenze said and snorted like a real horse.

Due to his frequent visits to the Forbidden Forest, Dudley had more or less contact with centaurs.

The average centaur hates contact with wizards, or in other words, hates contact with any creature other than centaurs, let alone helping. The only exception is this centaur named Firenze.

He will help the little wizard who is lost in the Forbidden Forest, and will also come forward when the little wizard is in danger.

This is a relatively unique situation among horse people.

The two briefly greeted each other and then stepped forward to examine the unicorn's injuries. At this time, the unicorn was lying weakly on the ground, with silver blood dripping all over the floor.

It was obvious that this was done by the cloaked man.

The injuries on the unicorn's body were very serious, with silver blood constantly oozing out, and black aura constantly emanating from it.

Unicorn skin has a high resistance to magic. It must be extremely advanced black magic to be able to damage it like this.

"Mr. Dursley, you should be able to treat his injuries."

Firenze asked slightly worriedly.

He only knew Dudley and didn't know that Dudley was only a first-year wizard at Hogwarts. Based on Dudley's size and the fact that they often met at night, he could easily have mistaken him for a certain subject at Hogwarts.

professor.

Dudley didn't explain much about this.

Dudley nodded and after observing the unicorn's injuries for a while, he took out a few bottles of magic potion from his waist and carefully began to treat the unicorn.

The little dragon in the sky kept flapping its wings, acting as a vigilant very consciously, for fear that the other party would attack again.

"Firenz, you shouldn't have helped them."

The slight sound of horse hoofbeats sounded again, and several more horsemen walked out of the dense forest. One horse had reddish-brown fur, and the other had pure black hair.

Among them, the horseman with pure black horse body was very excited and his tone was very unfriendly.

That's what he said just now.

"We have sworn an oath not to disobey God's will. Don't you see the omens shown by the movement of the planets?"

The centaur spoke again, questioning Firenze loudly.

The other centaur first looked at the unicorn very sadly, and then looked at Dudley who was treating the unicorn. He had no intention of stepping forward to help, and just said lightly: "Poor guy."

Then he just stood there and watched with cold eyes, without even the intention of asking.

"Do you want me to stand by and watch? The unicorn is one of the people who live in the Forbidden Forest like us, and this is the wizard of Hogwarts."

Firenze responded to the opponent without showing any signs of weakness.

"That has nothing to do with us. The stars are not guiding us. We are not mules. There is no need to run around behind humans."

"They might get hurt or die!"

"That's their fate."

Although it was not malicious, the tone still made Dudley frown slightly, which was very unpleasant.

He was blaming Firenze for being nosy and should not have helped him or the unicorn.

If he didn't know the history of the centaurs very well, Dudley would definitely teach him a lesson.

If you don't help yourself, that's normal. After all, you don't owe me anything. But if you blame others for helping me, then I have reason to beat you.

Horse people are a species that are very obsessed with astrology. Maybe the word obsession is not appropriate. It is simply a pathological focus. No matter what you do, you will rely on the astrology. You must first observe the astrology before doing anything.

If something is not shown, then they will not do it anyway.

Although horse people often do not take the initiative to fight with others and are not aggressive, they do not care about anyone except themselves. Just like this injured unicorn, even if they see it, they will only sigh lightly.

"The innocent suffer first."

"It's been like this for hundreds of years, and it's still like this now."

Then walk away silently.

A typical example of refusing to save someone.

They are good at divination and can see a lot of things from the stars, some of which are indeed useful. This also causes the horse people to think that they have seen through their fate and regard themselves as prophets. They always act like everyone is drunk and I am alone.

The attitude of a wise man who wakes up.

In fact, it is a very stupid approach, which makes centaurs almost the most unpopular humanoid species. This is why the Ministry of Magic prefers to classify vampires and banshees into the human category without leaving a place for centaurs.

They never help others, and even if they take the initiative to ask for help, they will just look on with cold eyes.

So when the centaurs were invaded and attacked, there were no wizards or magical creatures to help them.

And now the centaurs are almost extinct.

In Dudley's words, they were just doing it.

"Today you stood idly by when that thing killed the unicorn, and you stood idly by when it killed other magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest tomorrow. When the butcher's knife reaches out to us, no one will help us."

Firenze sprayed white mist from his nose and roared excitedly: "We must resist that thing lurking in the forest, it is too dangerous. Bain, if necessary, I will stand with humans."

Firenze could see clearly that something that could beat an adult unicorn to death could also easily kill them centaurs.

It is very necessary to make friends with the unicorn tribe and the wizards at Hogwarts.

They centaurs have no way out.

If he loses his habitat in the Forbidden Forest, he doesn't know where else he can go.
