Chapter 104 You will destroy the world
Although the time agreed with Firenze is next Saturday night.
But early that morning, John carried his suitcase and entered the Forbidden Forest early.
October is approaching and the weather has started to get cooler, but it is a good time to pick mushrooms.
John wandered around the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest all morning, collecting a bag full of various fresh mushrooms, and gained a lot.
At the same time, he also came into contact with the huge group of magical animals in the Forbidden Forest for the first time.
For example, Bowtruckle.
John had seen this thing while watching short videos in his previous life.
They are indeed cute and fun to watch in the video, but what you actually see in reality is completely different.
In autumn, the protective color on the Bowtruckle's body has turned into a brown color similar to that of a tree trunk. It looks like a dead branch and is difficult to spot.
They have a calm temperament and are shy, and John doesn't see them either.
When John was collecting fungi from some trees, they mistakenly thought they were trying to destroy the trees and attacked him several times.
The attack methods of these gadgets are not cute at all.
They will use their long and sharp fingers to dig into the eyes of their enemies. Combined with their mimicry characteristics, they are really hard to guard against.
Later, it was John who used the woodworms to clear the way first, thus avoiding the Bowtruckles' attacks.
In addition, John also saw a large number of magical animals such as shape-shifting lizards, thorns, garden gnomes, vixens, etc. who were stocking up on food and preparing for the winter.
The most important thing is that he also met the very fast unicorn who gave him several tail hairs last year.
This surprised John.
For a long time in the past, John thought that this guy must have been killed by Quirrell and Voldemort and drank his blood.
But I didn’t expect that it was still alive and well, and when I met it again, it was walking with its wife and children, looking content and content.
When he sees an acquaintance, John will definitely go up and say hello.
So he took a set of 'fur care tools' and prepared to visit.
As a result, they were ignorant and ran away immediately when John approached.
This made John very sorry.
Fortunately, John also has a group of horse people friends.
As the afternoon approached, John had just finished a feast of fresh mushrooms when a centaur emerged from the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
"Ah! My dear centaur friend!"
John greeted him very warmly, ready to give a big hug to his old friend whom he had not seen for several months.
It's a pity that the other party obviously doesn't agree with John.
Instead, they have their own etiquette for welcoming old friends.
"Snapped--"
A sheepskin bag was thrown into John's arms.
Bain, the centaur, said loudly and unceremoniously:
"Cut the nonsense human foal! Get your goods out!"
John curled his lips and originally wanted to complain a few words.
But after seeing the large pile of moonstones and a large number of other magic materials in the sheepskin pocket, he immediately closed his mouth and set up the stall with a smile.
"Come on, Mr. Bain, please take your pick, I have bought a lot of new goods this time!"
As John spoke, he pointed to the pile of goods in the center of the stall.
Centaur Bain shook his head and said:
"I don't need these things, I just want a more beautiful jewelry than the two necklaces last time!"
John smiled and asked:
"It's been so long, haven't you got the lady yet?"
As soon as these words came out, the centaur Bane's face turned dark instantly.
He lowered his head and scratched the ground with one front hoof in annoyance.
Seeing this, John stopped teasing him and directly picked up a jewelry box and said to him:
"To tell you the truth, the materials you gave me are worth at least 100 Galleons."
Bain, the centaur, took the jewelry box and said while picking through it:
"I don't know what Galleons and Galleons are, but the amount I gave you this time is indeed a lot, so last time I exchanged two necklaces, this time I will exchange at least four!"
John smiled and shook his head.
Upon seeing this, the centaur Bain immediately became anxious, but before he could say anything, he heard John continue:
"You misunderstood me, Bain. What I mean is that you don't have to pick and choose with me. This whole box of jewelry is all for you."
Bain the Centaur was stunned.
After a while, a slight twist suddenly appeared on his rough face.
"This...isn't this not good?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, just take it." John said with a smile, "But I advise you not to give away all these jewelry at once, but to do it slowly, otherwise you won't know what gift to give to that person next time.
A lady.
In the end, I hope you can succeed and win that lady's heart."
Bain the Centaur was so moved that he hugged John vigorously.
"Thank you so much, human pony, I will definitely beat Firenze this time! Isn't it just a beautiful silver fur? The luster of the jewelry is much prettier than that!"
As he spoke, the centaur Bain couldn't wait and got into the forbidden forest again.
As for John, the name "Fierenze" in Bain's mouth aroused his emotions again.
Unfortunately, the centaurs didn't give John much time to think.
Since John has not been to the Forbidden Forest since the end of last semester, the centaurs have accumulated very strong consumer desires and financial resources after such a long time.
As soon as Bain left, the next guest appeared immediately.
Then as soon as this customer bought something and left, the next one came again...
The cycle continued like this, and John was doing business non-stop throughout the afternoon.
It made him exhausted.
Of course, the harvest is also quite good.
In one afternoon, John exchanged various magic materials worth more than 500 galleons from the centaurs.
It can be said that he made a lot of money.
And when the moon was high in the sky, John's last guest of the day finally arrived.
Wearing a crown woven with branches, leaves and vines, he came to John with elegant steps.
Under the moonlight, the silver fur on his body emitted a light similar to that of a unicorn, which contrasted with the long golden hair on his head, making him look particularly divine and handsome.
"Mr. Shafiq, the stars guide you and I to meet here."
Firenze said in an ethereal tone.
This is quite consistent with his current overall temperament.
However, John did not accept this trick at all.
"You are so full of nonsense!" John pulled out his wand and said, "Tell me what you predicted!"
Looking at the faint magic aura emanating from the tip of John's staff, Firenze took a deep breath and said:
"You won't hurt me."
"Of course, the most I can do is shave off all your hair. This doesn't count as hurting you, and other centaurs won't come to trouble me."
John sneered and said, "I have found out everything today. You are seducing other people's spouses everywhere in the tribe. Others have been unhappy with you for a long time. I wish someone could teach you a lesson."
Firenze finally came to his senses and retorted loudly:
"You can't blame me! It's them who insist on getting closer to me! I've been keeping a distance from them and even scolded them! But they just won't go away!"
"It's all your fault for your beautiful fur. Don't worry, I'll shave it off for you soon. You won't have these worries when you become a bald donkey."
As he spoke, John took out the "fur care tools" he had planned to give to the unicorn family and walked towards Firenze.
Seeing this, Firenze's expression changed and he suddenly said quickly:
Chapter completed!
