HP Parallel World

"Violet is not well, something happened to Winnie." When Violet rode her broomstick to the woods early this Saturday morning, she followed her to the Forbidden Forest. Darwin

It was always hovering above Violet's head, casually looking around at what was happening in the woods.

Even though the trees became denser as we went deeper into the forest, Darwin still used the gaps between the tree crowns to see the centaurs living deep in the Forbidden Forest.

Although they have the lower body of a horse, they are not completely herbivores after all. Horse people also like to eat meat. They are not engaged in farming, but live a life of hunting and gathering. Although horse people do not

It can cast magic like a fairy, but it still has an attack power that cannot be underestimated.

If you hit someone in the chest with all your strength, you can completely break the person's ribs. Of course, centaurs also use and make tools on daily basis.

They used local materials in the depths of the woods to build themselves sheltered huts from the wind and rain. The centaurs were not only proficient in axes that could be used to chop firewood, but they were also all good at bows and arrows.

When he was a child, he had already started to practice bows and arrows, so when he grew up, everyone became a master of archers. The centaurs not only relied on their own bows and arrows to hunt animals in the woods, but also used bows and arrows to defend themselves.

Ownership of territory.

They don't like to interact with humans on weekdays, and of course they don't actually welcome humans to visit. If the centaurs encounter someone who forcibly breaks into their territory without saying hello, they will take out their bows and arrows as soon as possible.

First, they use language to threaten and ask the intruder to leave as soon as possible. If the horse people cannot use this verbal warning to get the other party to retreat, then they will take action directly.

Since they have the fast movement ability and flexibility of motorcycles that are not inferior to humans, when fighting wizards, it is generally difficult for centaurs to be hit by a single magic. Unless a large-scale all-attack magic is used

, otherwise the sparks they emit will generally fail. As long as wizards are clear-headed and have a head, generally speaking, they will not want to go against the centaurs.

In daily life, we have already adapted to this kind of life of shooting arrows and hunting while moving at high speed. Therefore, once we face humans without any means of transportation, we will feel that their movements are not much different from the slow crawling of turtles. Horse people are the most obvious.

One of their weaknesses is that they cannot move up and down stairs flexibly.

Even if the terrain is relatively steep and the mountain roads are somewhat rugged, as long as there are no consecutive steps, the horses can walk on these places unimpeded as if they were on flat ground. But if they encounter a large number of steps, their flexibility and ability to move quickly will be compromised.

It's like being completely sealed.

And it is precisely in order to avoid this disadvantageous situation for themselves that they are unwilling to enter the villages built by wizards, so as to avoid putting themselves in an absolutely disadvantageous situation as much as possible.

I once read in the original novel that creatures like centaurs cherish their babies and will not attack human children in principle. Therefore, Violet confirmed that centaurs in the parallel world are also generally speaking.

After not taking action against the children, he became optimistic about meeting centaurs in the Forbidden Forest.

As long as you don't utter wild words to insult the other party, or directly attack the other party for no reason, then even if you meet the centaur in the woods, you will not encounter any danger, but Violet will not encounter any danger anyway.

I would have thought that Wei Ni actually provoked the centaurs.

"Didn't Winnie go to pick leaves for his caterpillar? Did he suddenly encounter something in the woods?"

She was originally concentrating on searching for wooden raw materials for her next work in the woods, but suddenly she heard Darwin's message delivered to her from mid-air. Violet couldn't figure out how Winnie could meet in the woods.

what is the problem.

"The further you go deeper into the woods, the more dangerous it will be. As a person who knows this very well, Winnie doesn't need to be reminded by any of us on weekdays, and he will never go deep into the woods. So now

, what problem did he encounter? If it were an animal like a bear, it would not be a problem for him at all!"

Even if Winnie can't use magic to deal with the bear, he can escape directly into the sky while riding a broomstick. Therefore, unless his broomstick is broken, Violet can't figure out what happened.

Something that would have so frightened Darwin.

"They are centaurs. There is a large group of centaurs, and they are chasing Winnie. Although the chasing centaurs have not yet fired arrows at Winnie, he will soon be surrounded by them. Look at those

The centaurs are coming menacingly and furiously. I feel that the situation is definitely not that simple, so you'd better go over there quickly, otherwise something will happen soon!"

The broomstick he used was not broken, but he just ran around in the woods, and did not escape into the sky at all. Although Wei Ni was able to use the trees to roughly shield his figure, he could not escape at all.

There is no way to escape the centaurs' shooting range.

There is no need to open the bow and fire arrows at all, but only need to continue to pursue from behind. At the same time, it is enough to try every means to outflank. These groups of horsemen formed a very special team in a short time.

The tight encirclement locked Wei Ni inside. As for why Wei Ni was unwilling to escape into the sky, this was of course because there was more than just one person running around in the woods with him.

There is another centaur next to him.

"What the hell is going on?!" Just listening to Darwin's description in mid-air could not clearly understand the situation on Winnie's side, and because Violet did not carry a double-sided mirror,

relationship, so there was no way to get in touch with him in time.

She didn't want to directly engage in a stalemate with the centaurs, but actually wanted to avoid and avoid the troubles in front of her as much as possible. Violet did not plan to rush forward and use magic to fight with the centaurs, but decided to use some defenses.

Natural means. "Okay, it's time for my magic potion to come in handy again."

As she spoke, she took out a medicine bottle from her beaded bag, and also took out the invisibility cloak from the bag. Violet just put the invisibility cloak on the mountain, and then followed Darwin towards Winnie.

It flew quickly in the direction.

Because considering that the perspective of looking from the bottom up would destroy the protection provided by the invisibility cloak on one's body, after approaching the target location in mid-air, he quickly chose to go quietly.

Descending, Violet took advantage of this method of actively lowering the height of her position, effectively avoiding anyone on the ground noticing his presence.

The medicine bottle in your hand contains powder that has a paralyzing and hypnotic effect. Just sprinkle it from mid-air towards the target group, and then wave the wand to cast a small magic to ensure that the rolled up airflow can blow away the medicine bottle.

If these powders are blown towards the target group of people, Violet will be able to usher in the collapse of everyone in just a few minutes.

You will lose consciousness for about half an hour due to inhaling the powder, and even after you wake up, you will feel a little paralyzed in your body for several hours, and you will not be able to move freely after inhaling it.

People who use this kind of powder don't actually need an antidote. They just need to wait for a while and wait for the effect of the medicine to wear off automatically.

It will not have any residual side effects, so it can solve the problem as much as possible without harming others. This kind of medicinal powder is what Violet plans to use to deal with the centaurs next.

"It's just that before I throw these powders out, I still need to figure out what's going on."

It was necessary to figure out why there were so many centaurs chasing Winnie and surrounding him. As soon as Violet determined the situation on the ground, she would immediately rise into the air again.

Then the medicinal powder, which was so finely divided that no one would notice it, was sprinkled down directly.

When Violet lowered her altitude and flew in the woods, she was always in mid-air as a guide. After Violet arrived at her destination, Darwin found a nearby branch and stopped on it.

Silently watching the situation of the centaurs and Winnie, and deciding that once he found that something was wrong here and Violet couldn't solve it, he would immediately fly to the castle for help. Darwin would not fail to do so at this time.

He croaked with interest, thus attracting all the attention that had been focused on Whinney to his side.

Stopping quietly next to a big tree, focusing all her attention on the two people surrounded by centaurs, Violet could clearly see the centaur girl next to Winnie.

Unlike those male centaurs who were naked with no clothes on their upper bodies, the centaur girl next to Wei Ni also wore no clothes on her lower body, but her upper body was covered with a piece of animal skin.

Simple vest.

"..." Since female centaurs have never been mentioned in the original novel, it has always been unclear whether they also wear no clothes. Violet's situation at this moment does not seem to be the same.

When it's not dangerous, you can still take a few seconds to sigh: "I was still thinking that if the female centaurs were also naked, how embarrassed I would feel when I saw them!"

In the blink of an eye, she regained her wandering thoughts, and with her ears perked up, she listened intently to the conversation between the two opposite parties. Violet quickly figured out the general flow of the matter.

Wearing an animal skin sports vest, a female centaur with very simple and capable short hair is the daughter of the leader of a group of centaurs in the Forbidden Forest. Although she usually carries a bow and arrow and goes out hunting, and for their tribe,

While collecting in the woods, Scarlett Hao has a completely different characteristic from other centaurs, that is - she likes everything about the wizarding world very much.

In order to ensure that the entire tribe can still have enough food even in the cold winter, the horse people must be fully prepared for the coming cold winter. The prey obtained through hunting needs to be smoked, dried or salted

In order to effectively extend the storage time, horse people also need to strengthen their homes before winter comes.

Repair the leaky areas, and prepare tools that can be used to remove the snow on the roof. The centaurs cannot climb directly to the roof of the hut and sweep the snow off like humans.

.Although you can find several caves in the forest area where you live, there is an even greater need to use these caves that have been waterproofed and dehumidified as warehouses to store food. The horse people have made a large number of dried fruits.

And they were well stored together with dried fruits such as pine nuts and acorns.

They don't live near the Black Lake of Hogwarts, and they don't like fishing or eating fish. Of course, the centaurs also made a lot of dehydrated vegetables for the upcoming winter.

On weekdays, they also need to collect various animals, plants, microorganisms or inorganic raw materials that can be used to make medicines in the woods. The horse people have very superb medical skills and are fully capable of dealing with various medical problems within their race.

At the same time, of course, we also need to sew animal skin clothing to keep warm for those children with weaker constitutions.

Compared with the modern modernization of human beings, the life they lead is actually closer to the tribal life in ancient times. In this fall, when the summer has completely passed, the horse people should be quite busy. Generally speaking, they are not.

Will appear in front of the wizards.

However, as the person who was also assigned a lot of work and tasks to complete, Scarlett Hao was surrounded by most of the people in the tribe because a wooden box she had secretly hidden was discovered.

Already.

"Oh my God, isn't this the Little Mermaid Ariel from Disney animation?"

The centaurs believe that human beings are unreliable, and both wizards and Muggles are equally unreliable. Therefore, they do not like to deal with humans in daily life, and regard many practices as a shame.

If someone pretends that someone wants to sit on their back, they will think that they are being treated as an animal that can be used for riding. Most individuals among horse people do not allow this to happen to them.

, nor can he tolerate his companions doing this.

As for Scarlett Hao, she was supposed to be busy working for her tribe today, but suddenly someone else discovered the secret she had hidden for a long time. This centaur girl was discovered by her companions just like that with the opening of her hidden box.

We realized how much she yearned for and loved everything related to human society.

A very beautiful dress, jeans with intentionally ripped holes, high heels studded with beautiful rhinestones, hand-woven socks with beautiful patterns on them, storybooks with various beautiful colorful pictures inside...

All these things that Scarlett Hao could not usually take out in public were regarded as treasures by her and hidden in a box specially made by her.

In order to prevent her family from noticing the contents of the box, she did not even hide the box in her home. If Scarlett Hao had not dug out the box today, her companions would not have known that she also wanted to wear it.

Wear jeans, a dress and nice high heels.

"Why do you collect so many human things? We, the centaurs, are a proud, highly intelligent race. Why don't you love your own race, but yearn for those humans? Knitted socks, high heels, jeans, what?

Are you so disgusted with the lower body you own and your inability to wear these things?"

"Moreover, it's not just these clothes, you actually have those so-called cosmetics in them! I don't even know what was mixed into these artificial objects during the production process. How can you ensure these?

Will things not cause poisoning or allergies if used on you? You must know that you are not a human but a centaur. Even if the upper body looks similar, the physiques of different races are completely different!"

"Also, you actually have books about the human world here? Why, do you dislike the life you are living so much and want to escape from us and then integrate into the group of wizards?

"

In the Disney animation, the mermaid princess just collects some things that humans have dropped in the sea, and most of them are rags that others no longer want. Her father is still so angry that he breaks out with her.

There was a fierce quarrel. At this moment, Scarlett Hao's situation was even worse than that of the Little Mermaid Princess.

The things that she carefully hid in the box were not junk abandoned by others, or second-hand goods accidentally left in the woods by others. All of these personal belongings owned by Scarlett Hao were brand new.

After the box she had hidden was dug out by others, she immediately realized that her own kind would not allow such things to continue to exist, so Scarlett Hao immediately snatched the box that she had cherished so much, and then

Escaped from the tribe's settlement.

It was obvious that when she started making this box, she had anticipated this day, so she specially added leather straps to the box that could be used to bind herself. Scarlett Hao directly put the wooden box into the box.

He tied himself up and escaped.

Because the lid of the box was not fastened, some of the clothes in the box hung out. Scarlett Hao made it clear that there were still things that had not been snatched from her companions in time, and were now being taken away from them just now.

The person who opened and looked through the contents of the box holds it in his hand.

"These things are so new. It is absolutely impossible for someone to accidentally drop them in the woods and then be picked up by you. Scarlett Hao, tell me, what did you use to fight with others in order to get these things?"

trade?"

They have a very great talent and a very deep knowledge reserve in predicting the future by observing the stars. Perhaps what the Horse people are most proficient in and interesting to others is the prophecies they possess.

Although they can predict the future, they will not interfere with the future. This is a belief that most horse people stick to. Therefore, if Scarlett Hao uses these prophecies that she interprets to trade with others, then

, he is tantamount to violating the taboos of the centaurs, becoming a traitor who betrays their creed, and a very shameful existence.

"I didn't use the prophecy to trade with them!" At this moment, she was completely surrounded by her companions, and it was clear that she could not find a breakthrough to escape, so Scarlett Hao simply stopped running, and

While watching his companions with great vigilance, he casually put back all the things that were about to fall out of the box.

"It's not like I can't do anything except prophecies. Don't forget, I am the best master of pharmacy among our entire tribe. Although I can't directly treat people when it comes to it.

, I don’t have enough experience, but I am already completely proficient in making medicines, and I can definitely use the things I have made to do business with humans.”

The medical system owned by the horse people was independently developed by their group and has been continued for thousands of years. Just like the difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine in the Muggle world, the medical skills developed by the horse people are different from the wizards waving their wands.

What has been developed is ultimately different.

Therefore, just as many diseases in the Muggle world advocate a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to treat others in a complementary and complementary way, there are also wizards in the magical world who want to master the medical skills from other intelligent beings.

Therefore, although the medicine created by Hao Sijia is specifically effective for people like them and cannot directly affect people, it is still useful for those who have encountered bottlenecks in the development of medicines, or in potions science.

For people who have encountered difficulties, being able to obtain such a potion made by horse people will definitely allow people who are stuck in thinking difficulties to get some inspiration and enlightenment, and finally gain something.

Therefore, if someone in the school happened to be very interested in the medical skills possessed by the centaurs, it would not be surprising that they would exchange these brand-new human supplies with Scarlett Hao.

"In fact, I think that if Scarlett Hao does not regard it as a shame for others to ride on her back, then there must be people who are willing to pay money just to sit on her back for a while."

In fact, it is not just about providing rides to others. If Scarlett Hao is willing to trade with humans, then she actually has many other things to offer.

The horse people are far away from the living range of humans. They generally live in deep forests and are not easy to find. Therefore, even if there are any researchers on magical creatures who want to conduct systematic research and understanding of the horse people, they

There is also no way to go deep into the opponent's territory and conduct observation, research and recording by living with these centaurs for a long time.

Therefore, if Scarlett Hao is willing to tell those people outside who want to know about the horse people, her daily life without revealing the core secrets of her species, to satisfy the curiosity of these seekers and researchers.

If so, she can also get brand new Muggle items in return.

"Actually, I have wanted to say it a long time ago. The tail hair of unicorns can be used to make wands. So, what about centaurs?" He believes that centaurs are like giants, vampires, Veela and other creatures, like giants, vampires, Veela and other creatures.

They are people, but they are not real people. In fact, Violet really wants to collect some samples from them and go back for research.

At this moment, Violet stopped quietly next to the big tree and did not say what she was thinking. For a moment, Violet even came up with the idea: "If I can get a few

If the Centaur's tail hair is returned for research, then Mr. Ollivander, a wand addict, will definitely be very happy."

I think that if they are people from the Muggle world, then if it can provide them with an opportunity to go up close and touch the centaurs, they will definitely be willing to pay a sufficient fee, Willie

I think that as long as Scarlett Hao doesn't regard herself as an animal for workers to watch in the zoo, it will be really easy for her to get money.

"Not only beautiful clothes, shoes and cosmetics, but also various delicacies that can only be produced in the human world, beautiful jewelry, and electrical products that can function in the open air by relying on solar energy, allowing the horse people to

Vehicles for riding...all of these are not very rare things in human society, and they can all be traded!"

Just take a look at the box owned by Scarlett Hao, and you will know that she has either been conducting regular transactions with one person for a long time, or she has been conducting transactions with different people many times. Violet is almost certain that she ran away.

The people who came to trade with her in the woods should all be from Hogwarts. As for whether there is a Weenie among these people, this issue needs to be carefully confirmed.
