Hogwarts, was gnawed at the beginning

Liz glanced at the wand in Soul's hand and said warmly,

"We have lived in this forest for hundreds of years. One of the conditions for living here is that we cannot harm the little wizard without being attacked."

"For hundreds of years, this magical oath made by our ancestors and the then Headmaster of Hogwarts has been ingrained in our blood."

As Liz said this, she walked towards the only table in the room, where there was a teapot and two cups that seemed to have been prepared.

Soul watched its every move without blinking.

"So, you don't have to worry that we will hurt you." Liz gently placed the Bowtruckle on the table, then picked up the teapot and made two cups of tea.

"Would you like a cup of tea? This is a magic plant we grow ourselves. It is non-toxic. Sometimes, I always use it to keep myself awake."

"Chiji!" The little tree man waved, pointed at the tea cup, and nodded vigorously, as if to say, come here quickly, what she said is true.

Despite what the centaur said, Soul still did not put down his wand, relaxed slightly and walked towards the table.

There was silence in the air, except for Liz's body, a kind of aura that made Sur feel peaceful.

Liz held the teacup, gestured to Suer, and then drank it all.

My mother said that you should not eat or drink food given by strangers, because you don’t know whether he/she will eat your waist or sell you to the mountains after you get married.

Moreover, who knows if what this centaur said about not harming little wizards is something deep in their blood.

But since all the centaurs drank it, it shouldn’t be poisonous, right?He watched Liz pour water from the same teapot with his own eyes.

Suer looked at the light green tea with suspicion, tentatively stretched out his hand to take it in his hand, and took a gentle sip under Liz's gentle eyes.

Immediately, Su Er's eyes lit up, there was something in this cup of tea.

He could clearly feel that his mind suddenly became much clearer, and it had a mysterious power to calm his mind.

"How is it? Compared with your human black tea, it is somewhat unique." Centaur Liz chuckled.

Sur nodded without saying a word, taking small sips. As the cup bottomed out, he could feel that the recovery speed of magic power also accelerated a lot.

The air became quiet again, and Liz smiled gently, caressing the Bowtruckle gently with her hand.

After a long time, Suer looked at the Bowtruckle and tentatively spoke.

"Why is it here?"

"Are you talking about this little guy?" Liz's slender fingers stroked the leaves on top of the Bowtruckle tree. "It moved here some time ago. It's not far from here. It's trading with us. We It's responsible for providing food and shelter, and in exchange, it's responsible for keeping watch for us."

"The Forbidden Forest is far less peaceful than it looks outside. There are a lot of dangers after dark. You should be very aware of that, right?"

Suer was stunned for a long time before nodding, "Then...how do you know my name."

"Actually, I don't know." Centaur Liz shook her head and stretched out her hand to comb her hair. Sur tilted his head uncomfortably and looked at the Bowtruckle.

"It was only the moment I saw you that I knew your name."

"But, didn't you say you've known me for a long time?" Suer quickly caught the loophole in Liz's words.

"I know you, and there is no conflict with knowing your name." Liz chuckled and shook her head, "This involves a long-standing secret. I can't say more, I'm sorry."

Soul nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he asked the next question.

"You knew I was coming, today?"

But Liz nodded and shook her head.

"Every planet in the sky moves according to its own rules. Whether it is bright or dim, it indicates many things."

"I know you are coming, and I know when you are coming, this is also a different problem."

"Maybe you came here today, or maybe you came here to spend some time, it doesn't matter."

"I really shouldn't ask this question." Soul shook his head speechlessly. It was the Riddler again, and he decided to get straight to the point.

"I can assume that you are waiting for me, are you waiting for me for something?"

"Of course there is." Liz nodded, lifted the teapot and refilled Suer's cup with tea, "But please don't be impatient and listen to me tell you about the long past."

"About a hundred years after the establishment of Hogwarts, our ancestors came here from another continent. At that time, the wizards were extremely unwelcome to us. For this reason, the wizards even raised their wands at us. But there is a kind, peaceful wizard who blocks all the magic that comes to us."

"She?" Suer noticed the third-person pronoun in Liz's words, but did not interrupt, but continued to listen patiently.

"After negotiation, one of the conditions for us centaurs to live in this forest is to protect this place and prevent other wizards from entering this forest."

"On the contrary, we are not allowed to go out of this forest, but we are happy with it. We horse people have been inseparable from nature for generations. We have no idea whether we can walk out of this forest."

"About another hundred years passed before the lady found us."

"At that time, she was much more powerful and much older. As a private person, she made an agreement with the great centaur priest at that time."

"I can't go into the details of the agreement, but she gave us an object to give to a wizard who came here when we thought we could take it out."

"I shouldn't be the first one, right?" Suer never believed that he was the first wizard to come here.

"Of course you are not the first." Liz shook her head, "Before you, there were many wizards who came here, such as the one you are most familiar with, Albus Dumbledore, and others, such as. ..”

One after another, Sur's names that appeared in the history of magic textbooks popped out of Liz's mouth, which made him a little frightened.

From Liz's words, it can be known that the owners of these names have all failed without exception. So, now that she is telling herself this past incident, her purpose is obvious.

"You should have guessed it." Liz looked at Su Er's changing expression and chuckled, "Yes, I think it's time for us to complete our agreement with the wizard."

"But, why me?" Suer asked in surprise.

"The stars told me the answer." Liz raised her finger and pointed at the sky, "So, are you willing to accept it? In other words, this is a test."

Soul immediately shook his head, "I don't."

Who knows if there is any old thing in that keepsake? Those novels about body snatching and other things before time travel are almost blinding. What if something jumps out and snatches his body? What should he do?Go cry to Merlin?

Liz seemed to have expected Su Er's rejection, showing a mysterious smile, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, Su Er, this is a good thing for you. The test is not difficult. The kind wizard is good to everyone." People always remain tolerant.”

"Besides, you have already obtained the same thing."

"I have gotten the same thing a long time ago?" Suer opened his eyes wide.

"Yes, the stars tell me that you are already on the established track. Your coming here today is a coincidence of fate, but it is also inevitable."

Suer was silent, and Liz was not in a hurry. She raised her hand to pour herself a cup of tea and took a sip gracefully.

(I don’t know if elegance is the right word to describe a half-naked centaur, but whatever, it’s got to be cool!)

After a long time, Suer asked cautiously, "Can I take a look at the... agreed item first?"

"Of course." Liz nodded and smiled, walked slowly to the bookshelf, reached out and took down a box from the top right position of the shelf.

"You just put this here?" Suer couldn't help but ask. From Liz's narrative, he could definitely guess that this item was very important. It was obviously irresponsible for an important item to be placed here. .

"It wasn't here before, and I only brought it here this year." Liz could guess what Su Er was thinking, and smiled and shook her head.

She placed the wooden box on the table and pushed it gently towards Soul.

"open to take a look."
