The next two nights were anything but peaceful.
Once, Harley and the others encountered the Red Hat, which was a kind of fey creature that looked very ugly.
Goblins are already very ugly, and red hats are like ugly goblins. They know how to wear simple clothes, are vicious in nature, are murderous, and are good at sneak attacks.
They have something like a fur hat on their head, often dyed red with the blood of the creatures they kill. That's where its name comes from.
Hundreds of years ago, they often haunted the ruins of battlefields, killing wounded soldiers. Or hiding in the dark to sneak up on unwary lone travelers.
If Ted hadn't been following them in the dark, Harry and the others wouldn't have noticed that they were being followed by a red hat.
Ted was not polite at all, and directly fired an ice arrow to sneak attack the red hat who was planning to attack. A direct blow to the chest, and red blood gushes out in the form of red ice crystals.
Ted received 120 experience points and an unknown card.
Drawn on the card is a ball of white light trailing a tail flame.
[Fairy Spirituality (White)]
Material card
Fey creatures are born with spirituality.
This experience is quite rich! Level 4 monsters give more experience than trolls, maybe because they were killed directly this time instead of defeated?
Another night, Malfoy and others encountered a giant thorn demon tree, and Goyle was almost injured.
Normally, this thing looks like a weird plant with flowers blooming on the top. But if someone approaches carelessly, he will see the giant thorn demon tree "blooming", and of course he may not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
The giant thorn demon tree is not a native product, but a magical plant from another world.
It is like a piranha flower as tall as a person. It is usually disguised, but when it launches attack mode, the flower turns into a huge mouthpart - it eats meat. Moreover, there will be sharp thorns and tentacle-like vines standing on the body.
Moreover, the juice from these things is corrosive and sometimes splashes.
At night, three inexperienced little wizards almost fell into trouble.
Fortunately, Hagrid grabbed the vines of the Giant Thorn Demon Tree, ripped them off, and rescued Goyle from being tied up.
In fact, Hagrid knew about the existence of this thing, but it had always been active in the depths of the Forbidden Forest near the foot of the mountain - yes, this thing could also move slowly, at about five kilometers per hour.
"Did it come here when it was up there?" Hagrid muttered.
Finally, in order to prevent it from approaching the castle and threatening the safety of teachers and students, Hagrid took out a huge crossbow and shot the thing to death.
After these few nights, Malfoy has deeply realized his mistake and vowed never to violate school rules again.
As long as he is not allowed to come to the Forbidden Forest, anything will do!
It can be seen that confinement in the forbidden forest is still very transformative.
…
After just stumbling around like this for a week, Ted killed a few monsters and gained several hundred experience points.
However, he did not relax his vigilance, because based on his understanding of Professor Quirrell, he must be doing something secretive recently, and his private communications have been much less frequent.
So he never gave up communicating with Hagrid, telling Hagrid to be more vigilant.
That afternoon, there was finally news from Hagrid: "A unicorn was injured. Something attacked it. It's incredible. There shouldn't be any creature in the Forbidden Forest that has this ability!"
"I have to find it quickly and treat its injuries. I also have to find the thing that attacks unicorns... You must be careful!"
Ted's heart tightened, knowing that Quirrell and Voldemort were taking action.
Quirrell has been unable to obtain the Philosopher's Stone, but his body begins to fail - Voldemort's possession is no joke.
The little animals possessed by Voldemort had exhausted their vitality and died in almost a day or two.
Although Quirrell is a wizard and has pretty good strength, he can't withstand the wastage of the past six months.
Moreover, unicorn blood is also indispensable in Voldemort's resurrection plan.
Although this thing has a curse, for the legendary dark wizard, the curse is also a kind of power.
Now Quirrell couldn't bear it anymore, and Voldemort couldn't wait any longer.
It has been eight months since the school started in September last year.
However, Professor Quirrell only obtained the content of the first level, which made Voldemort, who was already in a very bad mental state, furious.
If there was no further progress, Quirrell didn't know what Voldemort would do.
Therefore, even though he knew that drinking the blood of a unicorn would be severely cursed, he had to do it.
Unicorns are powerful magical creatures with great strength, speed, intelligence, and high magic resistance. Older ones can even use their magic power to cast spells.
Ordinary wizards are no match at all.
But facing the professor-level Quirrell and the crippled Voldemort, it was just a piece of cake.
What's more, according to Hagrid's tracking, the injured unicorn was only a sub-adult individual.
Ted thought it was incredible that he could escape from Quirrell. It might even be Quirrell doing it on purpose.
But Voldemort is not easy to fool. Do you really think anyone can be Snape?
Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion that the unicorn will be killed, unless Dumbledore takes action to subdue Professor Quirrell now.
However, although Dumbledore had serious doubts about Quirrell, he had no intention of taking action.
Quirrell was nothing, Voldemort was the key.
Now Dumbledore only suspects that Voldemort is not completely dead, and there is no concrete evidence yet.
And once it was confirmed that Voldemort was not dead, a bigger question came - why was he not dead? How to let him die?
If these two issues are not clarified, Dumbledore will never take action easily.
It can be seen from Lao Deng's resume that since he was deceived by Grindelwald when he was young, he has evolved from a typical Gryffindor lion to a manticore! If you don't move, you will be killed, if you move, you will be killed.
This was the case when he defeated his old lover. When Voldemort was at his most rampant, he was not sure of victory and did not choose to confront her head-on.
Otherwise, he would invite Voldemort to a duel with great fanfare, and Voldemort would never be able to avoid the fight.
As long as he wins, even if Voldemort is not dead, his prestige will be greatly reduced. But he didn't do that.
Old Bee is actually a strategist, not a general.
No wonder what he is best at is transformation, not spells or anything like that.
…
Today is the last night of confinement. Ted has discussed with Hagrid and suggested that Hagrid relax his patrols because of the current danger in the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid naturally agreed, so these two nights, the two teams wandered around the edge of the Forbidden Forest without going in. So let alone Voldemort and unicorns, even ordinary magical creatures only encountered a few Bowtruckles on the trees - and Anzu almost got eaten by them.
The bowtruckle looks like a green stick insect grown into a spirit, like small branches put together.
They are all green, but there are differences. Some are emerald green and some are dark green. Generally speaking, they are not threatening.
But you have to be careful. If you anger them, they may pounce on you and blind you - the probability is about the same as choking to death on drinking cold water.
Bowtruckles generally live in symbiosis with large trees, and any behavior that damages the trees will trigger their counterattack.
However, there is a workaround. Ted used a few of their favorite woodworms and successfully gained the favor of those Bowtruckles. As a result, he got a branch as long as a walking stick from the centuries-old Dharma-protecting tree.
The amulet tree is a magical sorbus tree that was used by many Muggles to make amulets even in the Middle Ages.
After two days of relaxing night patrols, these little guys who didn't care about food and fights relaxed again. They felt that they were not here for confinement but for an outing.
Ron and Jerry had already taken out the hidden food and started eating it. They even brought drinks and almost didn't light up the bonfire to barbecue.
Ted, who was wearing an invisibility cloak and had been hiding behind a tree without moving, was so disgusting!
"Whoosh~" A sharp sound suddenly cut through the alertness of the Forbidden Forest. It's a red firework rising into the sky!
No, something happened to Hagrid.
Although Ted concluded that Voldemort would not easily cause death - he was worried that Dumbledore would intervene, but there was no guarantee.
After all, this is Voldemort, and he has a bad mind.
Ted immediately said: "You guys retreat first and go to Hagrid's hut. Ansu, go and send a message to Professor McGonagall!"
After Ted finished speaking, he put on his invisibility cloak and hurried towards the woods.
The friends only heard Ted's words, but never saw Ted's person.
In fact, they could feel Ted's nervousness and attention through Ted's behavior of not showing up at all for more than ten nights, and even using magic to disguise himself when he spoke.
Ted didn't know why, but he was very worried about everyone's confinement in the Forbidden Forest.
"What do we do?" Ron asked.
"I asked you to prepare, are you all ready?" Hallie shouted.
"Yeah! We are all prepared." Ron shouted immediately.
Jerry and Neville both nodded.
"Let Ansu deliver the message. Let's follow him and take a look. Don't follow too close. Be careful!"
The little lions of Gryffindor are indeed not peaceful masters. Making them obedient is a dream!
