"Ouch——!"
A wolf howl sounded from the quiet and dark forest, followed by a second and third howl, and the howls of the wolves broke the silence of the forest.
A giant wolf with silver-gray hair appeared on a boulder not far away, looking down at Ash.
In the dark forest, a pair of eyes as big as copper bells with green light lit up. They were wolves, or in other words, a pack of wolves. Each of them arched their backs menacingly, growling lowly from time to time, revealing their sharp white teeth.
But without the order from the alpha wolf, none of them dared to step forward.
Ash also made no move, calmly watching the giant wolves preparing to attack with his peripheral vision.
There are no wolves in the Forbidden Forest, at least no ordinary wolves, and the wolves in front of you are obviously much larger than ordinary wild wolves. Even if they are hunched over, they are clearly one head taller than an adult!
They are very big and beautiful, with soft fur that makes you want to stroke them.
"Where did these wolves come from?"
Ash murmured softly, his brows furrowing deeper.
There were no werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, at least not a hundred years ago.
Because the werewolf race is too ferocious, even more ferocious than trolls! Especially on full-moon nights, werewolves will completely lose their minds and begin to crazily kill all creatures in sight.
And there happens to be a full moon night every month, which means that werewolves will cause endless killings every month. Such a high frequency is enough to cause all the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest to be slaughtered, and it may even affect the students at Hogwarts!
It is for this reason that, although new magical animals are always being sent here to thrive in the Forbidden Forest, werewolves are the only exception.
Werewolves are born in two ways:
First, the offspring of a werewolf and a werewolf must be werewolves.
Second, people bitten by a werewolf on a full moon night will turn into a werewolf.
In addition, there is a very special situation when werewolves mate.
That is, if two werewolves mate in wolf form during a full moon, the werewolves will give birth to a litter of real wolf pups, who are indistinguishable from real wolves but possess near-human intelligence. The most important thing is that these wolf cubs will neither turn into humans nor go crazy like werewolves on a full moon night!
There is no doubt that these wolves are in this special situation.
Although they are the descendants of werewolves, they cannot become humans or go crazy, but their intelligence is the same as that of humans.
This is why Dumbledore felt free to put these giant wolves in the Forbidden Forest. He was not worried that these giant wolves would harm the students. Because they are wise enough to weigh the pros and cons, and are very aware of the consequences of harming students.
Of course, this information was unknown to Ash, at least in Dumbledore's eyes.
So Ash just took advantage of the situation and pretended that he didn't know anything.
But Aike is certain that these giant wolves were definitely called by Dumbledore!
You want to ask why? Do you even need to ask?
Although howling wolves often appear in the Forbidden Forest, no one has ever seen these giant wolves, because these giant wolves do not dare to harm students. But since they didn't dare to hurt the students, why did they appear in front of Ash in a standard hunting posture?
Isn't this arranged?
Ash narrowed his eyes slightly. He was sure that Dumbledore did it, but he still didn't understand what Dumbledore wanted to do.
Get rid of him with the help of these giant wolves?
No need, if Dumbledore really wanted to kill him, he would definitely not mind doing it himself.
But if these giant wolves didn't appear here to kill him, then it could only be another temptation from Dumbledore.
"It's really troublesome." Ash sighed in a low voice, his voice full of helplessness.
Dumbledore had obviously been observing him for a full month, and had gone through several tests during this period. Ash had performed flawlessly, and he could be sure that there was absolutely no flaw in his character.
But Dumbledore was still worried and continued to test.
Just test it, but the question is, what is Dumbledore trying to test?
His character is impeccable, and the attacks of these giant wolves will not be to test his character.
After all, characters are for people to see, not for beasts.
That's why he chose to kill the previous giant monster neatly even though he knew that Dumbledore was spying on him.
This is not only to show his strength, but also to make Dumbledore realize that he is not as perfect as he appears - although he is gentle to people, he can be merciless to trolls.
After all, a person who is too perfect can easily arouse suspicion, and such insignificant little 'flaws' will not be counterproductive.
But perhaps it was his ruthless attitude towards the troll that led to this temptation.
Of course, none of this matters.
The important thing is to understand Dumbledore's purpose, which is actually very simple - whatever Dumbledore wants to test, it depends on what he wants to see.
He had already shown no mercy when facing the giant monster, so Dumbledore didn't want to see this when he arranged the giant wolf.
In other words, Dumbledore wanted to see him leave these giant wolves alone?
But he had shown no mercy to the giant monsters before. It would be a bit hypocritical to show mercy to these giant wolves. Wouldn't he be suspected otherwise?
But since these giant wolves didn't take the initiative to attack, it would definitely not work if he made a killing move.
"That's why you have to exercise caution."
Ash glanced to the right from the corner of his eye, and saw a giant wolf sneaking closer under the cover of night, but its snow-white hair as clear as ice and snow was like a bright light in the dark night, making it difficult not to notice it.
You can't be too cruel, and you can't be helpless.
so--
"Incendio!"
Ash suddenly waved his wand at the giant wolf, and in an instant, raging fire spread rapidly around him with him as the center!
"Roar!"
The giant wolf that was approaching quietly was startled by this sudden change and jumped back to avoid the incoming flames.
But at this moment, the silver-gray wolf on the boulder suddenly howled menacingly and suddenly rushed towards Ash!
Ash immediately turned the wand around, but before he could utter the spell, the alpha wolf had already thrown the target to the ground - not Ash, but the giant white wolf that sneaked up on Ash just now!
"Ouch~"
The giant white wolf that was knocked down did not dare to resist at all, but just screamed in pain and let the alpha wolf bite, leaving a large number of bloody wounds on its originally soft and perfect hair.
Ash's expression was weird. Even he couldn't understand it now. Why was there still internal strife? Was it also arranged by Dumbledore?
It doesn’t look like acting!
If it was an act, would it be too fake?
After a long time, the giant snow-white wolf limped closer to Ash under the threat of the alpha wolf's growl.
Ash's eyes were alert and he didn't take action rashly, but he wasn't worried about the giant wolf suddenly attacking.
Five meters away from Ash, he suddenly lay on the ground with his soft belly exposed.
"?" Ash slowly typed a question mark.
