Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 174 Horsemen and Early Warning

Ivan returned to the blackened forbidden forest and took a walk along the trail.

He was ready to find a place where Peter the dwarf could be ambushed, but he immediately stopped and heard something stepping on the fallen leaf.

Ivan hurriedly hid behind the tree beside him, listening on his side, and he lifted the form of Animagus and pulled out his wand. That sound is like a cloak dragging on the ground, getting closer, would it be an octopus spider?!

Suddenly, an arrow flew through the air and a bang landed on a tree just above Evan's head, and the sound was creepy.

Evan's spell flew out almost instantly, and through the light of the spell, he saw something appear in the open space in front of him, looking like a human being with black hair and a beard, but beneath his waist was a bright brown and black horse with a long black tail behind him.

This is a horseman, who skilfully dodges the spell and pulls the bow and arrows towards Ivan.

“Who are you, man?” The horseman's face was filled with anger and his tone was rude, “Breaking into our woods and planning to attack me with magic?! ”

“I'm sorry, this is a misunderstanding! I thought you were an eight-eyed giant spider, you know, and I just came across them.” Evan's wand ends with a faint light, "I introduced myself, Ivan Mason, from Hogwarts. ”

Evan tried to recall what was relevant to Horsemen, and in most wizard books and laws, there was contempt for the introduction of this kind of human magical creature.

For example, in Article 7 of the Measures for the Control and Management of Miraculous Biology, the definition of a horseman is a magical animal with a human head, a trunk, limbs, and horses as close to human intelligence. Note that words, close to human intelligence and animals, are very humiliating words, which also represent the views of the vast majority of wizards on horseman.

But this is not the case at all, and the horses are an extremely arrogant creature.

Generally speaking, they are filled with distrust of humanity, whether witches or muggles, without any distinction in their eyes. The Horseman is highly respected for his mastery of healing magic, divination, archery and astronomy.

Horsemen tend to live in groups and form an individual clan tribe.

The Hogwarts Banned Forest Horse clan is by far the largest known Horse clan and has survived for more than a thousand years. Before the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft was established by the four giants, the ancestors of the horses lived in this enchanted forest, later known as the Forbidden Forest.

Ivan hasn't been foolish enough to get along with a horseman according to the book, unless he wants to provoke each other and die faster. He tried to look at each other as if they were the same person, trying not to look at each other's lower body, although it seemed strange.

“I'm avoiding the octave spider...”

“Eight-eyed giant spider!!!” The anger on the horse's face seems to have grown, "he said angrily," and it is not known when these ferocious, abominable men are growing in numbers in the woods, attacking other creatures wantonly and occupying territories that belong to us. ”

Evan was suddenly named one of the most dangerous magical creatures by the Ministry of Magic and clearly classified as a Class A non-traded commodity by the Department of Magical Biological Management and Control.

Perhaps they have a slightly weaker monolithic attack capability, but their brutal personality, super-high intelligence and strong reproduction capability give the Octopus giant spider a very strong species invasion capability, causing great damage to the ecological environment. As can be seen from this horseman's tone, Aragok and his descendants must have caused pain to the horses in the forbidden forest.

Suddenly there was movement in the bushes, and Ivan raised his wand.

He thought it was an eight-eyed giant spider, and it turned out to be just the second horseman, redhead, brown red body, looking thinner than the first horseman.

“Good evening, Evan Mason!” The second horseman who appears is much more gentle in character, and he says in a melancholy voice, "My name is Ronan, and this is Bain, I hope we didn't scare you! Are you the pony in the castle? Did you learn a lot in school? ”

“You can also learn a little…" Evan humbly said, deliberately ignoring each other's words, for a horseman, a child is probably a pony.

“It would be great to learn a little bit!” Ronan sighed, "While you humans have wasted most of your lives on useless things because of racial limitations, you have to admit that you have made some remarkable magical achievements. ”

It sounds like a compliment, but Ivan doesn't know how to answer it.

Ronan didn't seem to expect Ivan to answer either, and suddenly he looked up at the sky and said in an extremely melancholy tone, "Mars is bright tonight. ”

He seemed to forget about Ivan and the octave spider and stared up without blinking, seeming to see something from it.

Ivan looked up, and Mars was really bright.

He did not know what that meant, which, in his view, was just one of the natural phenomena in which stars operated, but it was clearly not the case for the horseman, who for centuries had persevered in observing and documenting the operation of various celestial bodies in an attempt to find from them symbols of a wave of great evil or transformation there.

“What does that mean?” Ivan asked softly.

Given that Gryffindor's secret treasure keys are being kept in the Horseman tribe, Evan feels it is necessary to have a good relationship with each other.

Perhaps you can ask them to help you catch Peter Pettigrew. With all those eight-eyed giant spiders, it's impossible to beat them alone.

“War is on fire, and the innocent are always the first to suffer!” Ronan sighed a few more sighs, "for centuries, and still is. ”

“Yeah.” Ivan prolonged his voice, and he didn't know exactly what he saw, and he tried to say, "I came into the forbidden forest tonight to catch an evil wizard, and I couldn't let him get away, otherwise it would have a very negative impact on the future, and you would be implicated. I'm sure you noticed the anomaly...”

“Mars is bright tonight.” Ronan repeated it again and increased his tone, "unusually bright! ”

“I know what you just said about catching that sinister dark wizard, and I want you to help me.

He turned his head and looked at Bain, as if he hadn't seen him.

He walked over and stood next to Ronan, looking up at the sky, and for a long time, slowly said, "Mars is bright tonight. ”

Again, Ivan sighed, and he found it really hard to communicate with the horseman, they may know a lot, but they never say it directly, and they keep their mouths shut about what they observed.

Like Professor Trelawney, they always like to tell others the signs they observe, the warnings from the sky, but often ignore what is happening around them and clearly.

Evan suddenly discovered that it was harder to get the help of a horseman to catch Peter Pettigrew than to climb to heaven.
