Chapter 185 The Battle of the Centaur

The centaurs are a strange tribe, even stranger than the mermaids.

The upper part of their body is human-shaped, and the lower part is no different from that of a horse.However, they are not half-human, half-beast hybrids, but born that way.

Centaurs have the same intelligence as humans, but they don't like magic and prefer to be close to nature.

Therefore, they never wear clothes, and the tools they use are still weapons such as bows and arrows, swords, and spears.

When they have nothing to do, the horse people will gather in small groups and focus all their attention on interpreting natural phenomena.

Like... looking at the stars.

But the horse people like to beat around the bush, and can't get a straightforward answer from them.The way they start talking is always XX tonight.

Tonight's moon is indeed very bright. At this time, there are only a few stars that can be seen in the sky.

William and the others could guess with their toes, which one Firenze wanted to talk about.

"Since you have seen it, you shouldn't be in the Forbidden Forest."

Firenze had a good temper, he was not angry, but looked worriedly at the pool of blood on the ground.

"Hagrid brought you here?"

"No, we're just here to pick psychedelic mushrooms." William explained.

"Without Hagrid's protection, you young wizards shouldn't have come to the Forbidden Forest at night." Firenze said angrily, "Now, hurry back to the castle!"

"We'll be back right away," Fred said perfunctorily. "By the way, a unicorn was injured. Did you see anything?"

Firenze didn't answer right away.He stared upward without blinking, then sighed, "It's always the innocent who suffer first."

"It's been that way for hundreds of years, and it's still the way it is now."

"Yeah," said Cedric, "so we want to help the unicorn."

"However, Mars is very bright tonight." Firenze finally said this nonsense.

All good fortune-tellers are like this, they always like to say some ambiguous words, which make you puzzled.

William shrugged and sighed: "Yes, due to the small size and large orbital eccentricity of Mars, the magnitude of Mars varies greatly, so the brightness is uncertain, but overall, it still shows periodic changes."

"Seriously, Firenze, if you want, I can spend a semester explaining basic physics to you, as well as gravity.

By the way, teach you the world through Muggle eyes. "

William did not believe in so-called astrology in his heart.

Niko's prediction is understandable. After all, magic does not belong to the four basic forces, and it can show some peculiarities.

But how can your astrology predict the future?
Co-author Mars is brighter, not because it is closer to the earth, but because of the guidance of fate?
If William believed in astrology, he felt it was an insult to the education he had received in his previous life.

Firenze shook his head and retorted: "Muggle observations are indeed unique.

But can they reveal why the universe exists?
Can they answer what you call 'universal gravity'?

Can they explain how everything came to be? "

"Can you answer?" William raised his eyebrows.

"I can't either," Firenze said calmly: "Humans observe various phenomena and obtain various knowledge, but we centaurs are also observing the world, and then obtain various knowledge.

In essence, there is no difference between everyone. "

"Well, we won't argue with you about these academic issues." William said seriously: "Firenze, have you seen that unicorn?
Let's take it back now and let Madam Pomfrey treat it. Although she is not a veterinarian, her medical conditions are better than your tribe's. "

"My people are still looking for it. A strange thing broke into the Forbidden Forest tonight." Firenze finally said something useful.

William and the others quietly listened to Firenze's explanation of what the strange thing was, but he still didn't say anything in the end, just shook his head slightly:

"Leave quickly, I think your psychedelic mushrooms have been picked by Snape."

"I saw him sneaking up at the end of this path before."

"..."

Fred's nose was crooked, he said angrily, "We stole so much dragon dung from Professor Sprout to fertilize the magic mushrooms, Professor Snape, how can he be so shameless!"

Picking peaches at a critical moment, Professor Snape's evaluation in the hearts of several people dropped a bit.

What else would William want to say,
At this moment, a burst of fire suddenly came from afar.

"It's my people!" Firenze stepped up on four legs and rushed over.

William and the others also ran towards the place where the fire was lit.

When they arrived, there was a mess all around, and countless trees were broken.

There were hundreds of centaur, and they all held short spears in their hands and huge bows on their backs.

Not far from the centaur, there was a wizard standing in front of a huge lake, wearing a thick hood, his face could not be seen clearly.

The clothes were soaked in silver blood, which contrasted with the original black robe, layered on top of each other, like an ink landscape painting.

The wizard held a unicorn in his hand, and bit the unicorn's neck, sucking blood recklessly.

The unicorn struggled twice and died immediately.

After a full meal, the wizard threw the unicorn on the ground, wiped the blood all over his face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ah, comfortable, this magical blood makes me feel comfortable all over."

Then he pointed to the dead body on the ground, "I killed it, whoever wants to kill me, come!
You've been following me for so long, I guess we're all getting impatient, aren't we? "

No one spoke.

The blood-clothed wizard seemed to grin, and then said: "Don't worry, I don't have the ability to kill all the centaurs for the time being, my strength has only recovered some.

However, I think it's time to teach you mutts a lesson so that you won't stop me from eating.

How about killing half of it? "

"What did you call us?!" a wild-looking black centaur yelled.

The surrounding centaur let out a deep roar, and the wizard's words offended them.

A black centaur standing in the front suddenly drew his bow like a full moon, the bowstring broke with a loud bang, and shot an arrow at the wizard.

The other two burly men and horses with big bows also followed suit, they didn't need to deliberately prepare their heads, they all picked up arrows out of their bags, pulled the big bows, and shot an arrow respectively in one go.

Three sharp arrows pierced through the air one after another, and the arrows all accurately pierced the wizard's face.

The level of weapons made by centaurs may not be as good as that of goblins, but they also have their own uniqueness.

Each arrow feather is engraved with an ancient spell, which is enough to easily defeat magic such as armor protection.

But the wizard didn't move at all, the three feathered arrows just hovered in the air so quietly, maintaining a slanting posture.

The wizard raised his head slightly, and hot black flames ignited from the three arrow feathers, and shot backhanded at a faster speed in an instant.
