Chapter 58 Wagadu’s Special Magic
Because it was raining, it got dark quickly.
When Bourne followed the Thestral cub into the Forbidden Forest, the quiet forest had almost become invisible.
For safety reasons, Bourne completed the "Astartes Magus" transformation while running. The wizard's robe with a telescopic spell attached perfectly fit his body shape at this time.
It's just this scene of "changing into a living person" that frightened the little Yeqi pony, whose flapping wings stopped, as if it didn't fall from the air.
Fortunately, Bourne reached out to help it. "Don't be afraid, just keep flying." Bourne said softly.
The reason why this little Thestral came to Bourne is because it remembered Bourne's scent. Horses have a well-developed sense of smell, and relying on their sensitive noses, they can construct a kind of image-like memory called "olfactory images."
As a type of Pegasus, Thestrals' sense of smell is undoubtedly sharper, and they are also smarter.
Therefore, when the Thestrals were in trouble, they were unable to help and immediately thought of the "two-legged beasts" they saw during the day, so the little Thestrals ran out to fetch reinforcements.
As for why it was able to accurately find Gryffindor's tower, it's because the Thestral, a magical animal, not only flies extremely fast, but also has extraordinary guidance capabilities similar to those of an owl: the Thestral is known to be able to take wizards to the world. Famous everywhere.
For example, when Dumbledore wanted to go to a certain tower, he would usually ask Hagrid to bring him a Thestral.
The clever little pony picked up a grass branch with vinegar paste in its mouth, and neighed "Herod" a few times to express its intention.
Although Byrne also doubted how a mere color-changing ghoul could cause trouble to a whole group of adult thestrals, but seeing how the little guy kindly gave him pieces of meat in the morning, Byrne still followed him to the forbidden area. Forest.
"Stop yelling. I've heard the roar, and it's not like the roar of a color-changing ghoul... and it's not one."
When he was less than a kilometer away from the clearing in the forest, Bourne suddenly stopped and whispered to Little Yeqi.
At the same time, he also took out the chain sword modified by alchemy from the deformed lizard wallet - his intuition told him that he was about to encounter a problem that could only be solved by using hands and feet - and the sword in his left hand because of "Ah "Statmagus" and the wand, which has a greatly changed appearance, constitutes the main weapon and secondary weapon.
"Fly to the sky, don't come down yet." Bourne gestured to the little Thestral, who had been flying below the canopy to guide him. The Thestral can fly for a long time, even a foal just a few months old. I can fly in the sky for hours on end without any difficulty at all.
After saying that, Bourne, who was now as good as Hagrid, quickly disappeared into the shadows of the dense trees in the Forbidden Forest with agile movements that were inconsistent with his body shape, almost without making any unnecessary noise. Almost every Astartes warrior has had the experience of serving in a reconnaissance company with light armor. He walked this forest path once during the day and walked it a second time. Now he felt as familiar as returning to his own home.
……
The Hogwarts banquet hall was busy.
Projection workers wearing loose overalls and peaked caps were nervously adjusting the magic projector and constantly moving the positions of the four long tables, seemingly trying to find a better viewing angle for the little wizards sitting here.
They look very professional.
These people are lean and lean, and their facial features are covered by peaked caps. One of them is obviously black, and even the other two white-skinned ones have darker hair and skin, with typical French characteristics.
Dolores Umbridge was no longer here. After fixing the curtains required for the screening, the "pink lady" twisted her waist and walked out of the banquet hall and walked to the principal's office on the eighth floor of the castle.
Wherever the spotlight is, her battlefield is, and she will never be held back by a trivial matter.
"Compaoré."
A fair-skinned projection worker, after moving the magic projector for an unknown number of times, saw that no one was paying attention around him, so he walked behind the dark-skinned "foreman" and asked in a low voice: "What should we do later? "
When he heard someone calling his name, the black foreman immediately looked around, and then suddenly grabbed the collar of the man who called his name.
The man quickly made a gesture that all French people understand.
Compaoré then loosened his collar, then poked his chest with his finger, lowered his head and warned fiercely: "What level do you have? You dare to call me directly——"
Compaoré stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, his face turned livid, and two long canine teeth popped out of his wide-open mouth.
"—c'est la merde!"
He felt a burning pain in his arm. He lifted up his sleeve and saw that the pattern that he had deliberately covered with other tattoos ten years ago actually resurfaced. The poisonous snake is crawling, and the skull seems to be swallowing a strange tongue.
"Voldemort!" A name that still frightened him, suddenly, like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, flashed across Compaoré's mind.
Not only that, as the Black Demon Mark continued to move, Compaore seemed to hear some faint sounds.
They stirred his mind, gradually reviving the vampire nature he had deliberately suppressed: blood, blood, blood... He wanted to kill people and drink blood!
Everyone who often kills people should know that when the murderous intention starts to boil over, the urge to commit evil often becomes uncontrollable - even if some people don't have toilet paper, they may stain the walls and have to clean up afterwards. Let’s have some fun first and then talk about it.
Compaoré, who has been tested for a long time, is slightly better, but his two men who were also branded with the mark of the dark devil more than ten years ago have completely lost control at this time.
The vampire who was responsible for adjusting the position of the long table in the Hogwarts banquet hall was like a husky in heat, growling "ho ho" while scratching the long table with his pop-up fingernails, causing sawdust to fly.
The vampire who had just been scolded by Compaore covered his head, spun around in circles, backed up, and knocked the magic projector said to be "fabriqué en france" directly off the high leg stool.
At this time, a group of Gryffindor students happened to walk into the banquet hall, and the three of them all turned to look at them.
"vampire!"
Although the Defense Against the Dark Arts course's teachers change frequently, the students at Hogwarts are not so bad at basics that they can't even recognize such a famous dark magic creature as a vampire - after being forced to transform, those guys' faces are crawling. They were full of earthworm-shaped blood vessels, their canine teeth protruded, and the whites of their eyes became red and shiny due to congestion - they looked at the little wizard as if they wanted to eat people.
If you simply encounter a vampire, some young wizards from wizarding families or senior wizards may not be afraid.
Because although they are dark magic creatures, vampires are actually considered a type of "humanoid" in the Ministry of Magic's judgment system.
The basis for this division is that the Ministry of Magic believes that a vampire is a creature with enough intelligence to understand the laws of magical society and bear some of the responsibilities that must be shouldered in the process of formulating and enforcing these laws.
House elves and goblins are the two "humanoids" most closely related to wizards. What they have in common is that they are both managed by the Ministry of Magic.
In fact, all human beings in this world will be "accepted" by default to recognize this rule.
Some humanoid creatures, such as centaurs and mermaids, have been trying to find excuses (unwilling to be classified with the hags) to define their race as "beasts". In fact, they do not want to be regulated by the Ministry of Magic. legal restrictions.
And yet...
Wizards still believe that centaurs and mermaids are "humanoids," and the Ministry of Magic still asserts the highest authority over them. Similarly, vampires are also a kind of "humanoid". In the past one or two hundred years, they have been relatively well-behaved and rarely violated the law.
Moreover, compared to werewolves, who are often juxtaposed with them in Muggle legends, vampires are definitely models of law-abiding!
Of course, there are no absolutes.
After all, it is a kind of black magic creature. If it is not fed for a long time, a vampire driven crazy by hunger will go crazy and attack humans.
When they are mad, vampires will show three typical characteristics: "veins popping out", "canine teeth elongating" and "bloody eyes".
What's even more coincidental is that among the Greenland Fondo students, some of them are learning how to identify and expel vampires in their Defense Against the Dark Arts class this week.
Therefore, these senior students took out their wands and chanted two spells according to Professor Quirrell's instructions.
"Stick a big stick in your front teeth!"
"Garlic is flying!"
...Yes, this is indeed what Quirrell taught in class, and there is nothing wrong in theory - putting a stick in the front teeth can make the front teeth bulge so that vampires cannot bite with canine teeth; and the smell of garlic will also cause vampires to keep beating. Sneeze, causing discomfort and even leaving on their own - but the real problem is that the little wizards are not facing ordinary vampires.
Before they turned into monsters, all three of Compaore were wizards, and they all attended Ouagadu, the best magic school in Africa (although they were later expelled from the school).
The knowledge of professors at Ouagadu Magic Academy has two characteristics: first, they will teach students to cast spells without a wand from the beginning of their enrollment.
Therefore, the spellcasting speed of Ouagadu students is generally the fastest among their age groups. Not to mention the "Flying Garlic" which had to be summoned from the Hogwarts kitchen recently and took some time to take effect. Even the evil curse "Sticking the Stick in the Front Teeth" was quickly countered by Compaore and the other three. The curse offset the account.
And after being enraged, these three vampires, who had been tortured by the dark mark and fell into a state of "pseudo-hunger", were attacked by the curse. They could no longer control the bloodthirsty in their hearts and pounced directly on this group of people. Gryffindor's little wizard.
