Chapter 77 The Troll’s Beard (Page 12)
Little Khan ran very fast, and all four little paws turned into hot wheels.
As it ran, it turned back, fearing that the big fools behind it wouldn't be able to catch up.
"Waaagh!!!"
Khan roared wildly, 100% restoring Newt's voice, and woke up the entire Hogwarts.
And just as it was sitting firmly on the handrail of the stairs, sliding down quickly, an accident suddenly happened——
Among the giant monsters chasing it, one rarely used its brain and threw out the big stick in its hand.
With the blessing of strange power, the big stick shot out like a cannonball and hit the handrail of the stairs at once.
After all, the school's annual funds are limited, and good steel is used on the cutting edge. No principal has time to strengthen the stair handrails (besides, even if a naughty little wizard blows it up with a magic spell, there is probably no way to blow up the stone handrails).
No one would have thought that these handrails would suffer such a disaster today: they were hit by big sticks thrown by trolls, and the stone handrails were blown into pieces in an instant as if they had been hit by cannonballs. .
Khan was also thrown away, and seven or eight pieces of gravel, which looked heavy to the eye, were about to hit its body.
Khan is in danger!
At the critical moment, a rescuer finally arrived in time, jumped in the air and caught the Khan who spread his limbs - he lied to himself that he was a flying squirrel - and then fell back to the ground ahead of the rubble.
The professors originally wanted to use a levitating spell on the gravel, but when they saw the change in Bourne, everyone except Principal Dumbledore was extremely surprised.
Snape: How come his Magus form is taller than the "half-blood giant" he transformed into when he was a child?
McGonagall: No wonder Bourne has an outstanding talent for transformation. It turns out that like Tonks, he is also a rare natural Magus.
Flitwick: What did this kid eat to grow so tall? I'll have to ask his grandpa later to help my kids get up too.
Sprout: This body is suitable for farming at first glance. It's a pity that he was not assigned to our Hufflepuff house.
Hagrid: Let’s talk about why little Bourne, like me, has a unique appreciation of food. It turns out that he also has giant blood.
Quirrell: What the hell is this...
The broken staircase handrail hit his head. Bourne just shook his head, and then shook off the stone fragments stuck in his hair.
Following Newt's example, he put the frightened Khan on his shoulders and returned to the door of the banquet hall in one stride.
At this moment, the group of giant monsters also walked down the stairs with a bang and stood together in the hall on the first floor of the castle.
They all roared -
"Waaagh!!!"
The target of their roar was Bourne who did not enter the banquet hall but just threw Khan to his friends.
Facing the challenge and arranging his pets, Bourne turned around and said lightly: "Noisy."
However, his calmness only lasted less than a second.
"Slughorn, hurry up and sit down in the banquet hall."
Professor McGonagall walked anxiously to Bourne and ordered with a serious face.
"We, the professors, are responsible for dealing with the trolls here and protecting Hogwarts. It's not the turn of a little wizard yet."
Newt, the old wizard, also came over quickly. He was holding a small doll in his hand and didn't know what to do.
"That's right, kid. Hurry back to the banquet hall and just stay with your friends and watch the fun." Then he looked at the vice-principal again: "Professor McGonagall, leave the rest to me. Bar."
After saying that, the newly appointed acting professor threw the doll in his hand far away to the group of menacing trolls.
He cast a shapeshifting spell on the doll.
When it fell to the ground, the doll had transformed into a large, four-legged magical creature with a bulging back, several rows of sharp short horns on its head, and thorns like octopus tentacles around its mouth.
The doll transforms into a horned beast.
The horned beast is a magical animal that was once widely distributed in many parts of Europe. However, because of their aggressive nature (almost impossible to raise in captivity) and because their horns are extremely valuable potion materials, the number of horned beasts still living in the wild has become very rare.
There is a special bond between trolls, especially mountain trolls, and horned beasts.
Among the mountain trolls, there is an ancient test: a troll who wants to be the "boss" must not only defeat other trolls, but also subdue a horned camel beast as a mount.
In the past, large amounts of scar tissue were found on the inner thighs of many adult male mountain trolls. These are the scars left by the horned camel's bulging back and horns on its head when they tried to subdue a horned camel (but nine times out of ten they would fail).
Only the strongest mountain giants can tame adult horned camel beasts, and only such mountain giants will be recognized by other giants as the "most orthodox" boss.
However, as the number of horned camel beasts became increasingly rare, the trial of mountain trolls gradually became impossible to continue.
But this does not mean that they have forgotten the horned camel. In fact, after seeing the Horned Camel, the trolls will naturally have the urge to tame this magical animal. This is a traditional custom rooted in their bloodline.
A giant monster with a decent build directly pulled his companions to the side, raised his thighs and was about to step on the back of the horned camel beast that Newt had made out of a doll.
However, at this moment, a big stick suddenly hit the guy's head with a bang. One of the largest giant monsters walked out of the group of mountain monsters, and it was he who had just done evil to his companions.
What kind of little shrimp is actually dreaming about riding a horned camel?
The giant monster boss walked towards the horned camel excitedly. He wanted to prove to all the giant monsters that he was the truly qualified boss.
At this moment, the horned camel suddenly moved and started running towards the castle gate.
The troll boss immediately chased after him, and the other trolls followed closely behind.
"Just now I tried to use a 'challenge' method to lure the giant monsters out of the castle, but unfortunately I failed. Now I can only use the 'horned camel trick' to fool these giant monsters."
Newt explained to the professors around him.
"Although this method does not have the same insurance as before, it cannot ensure that the giant monsters are reintroduced into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, but if nothing else happens, the transformation technique I applied should still be able to persist until they are introduced into the Forbidden Forest."
However, he probably shouldn't say "no surprises", because such words will always lead to some bad results.
But before Professor Scamander finished speaking, as expected, the accident happened.
Realizing that his two legs could not outrun the horned camel's four legs, the giant monster let out a strange roar, and then threw the big stick in his hand.
It originally wanted to hit the Horned Camel, but unfortunately it seemed that there was something wrong with its aim. The big stick whirled and hit a brass Merlin statue standing at the entrance of the hall.
Merlin's beard was smashed off.
Not only that, the statue was so smashed that it fell off the base, accidentally hitting the horned camel beast that was running wildly.
