A day at Hogwarts

Charles ends up staying at Twilight's house.

Of course they didn't sleep together, Twilight on one side of the firepit, Charles on the other.

Charles puts a lot of things for home and travel in his bag, including but not limited to happy water, instant noodle cans, first aid kits, four-season clothes, tent sleeping bags, torches, daggers, magic lanterns, MP5, etc.

After preparing the sleeping bag, he let the magic lantern float above his head, opened the box given by the elder, and his face turned black.

Inside the box is a new piece of A4 paper, the content on it is written in 19th century copperplate printing, and it looks like the handwriting of the old man at first glance.

Obviously, there is a connection between the old man and the great elder, but neither side talks about it.

There are two spells written on the paper, one can be seen now, and the other will only appear after completing the task.

The magic spell displayed on the paper is "Revealing the original form". The normal version can discover the magic spell hidden on the object and the object hidden by magic, and the special version can discover the surrounding animals.

The spell left by the old man is very targeted, because the giant spider can hide itself in the underground cave, and can judge the position of the animal through the vibration of the ground, and if it is not careful, it will be ambushed.

Charles curled his lips, thinking that what the old man was going to teach him was the most lethal "spell on household registration book" among the oriental spells he knew - "shoveling the house".

The tribe was completely silent at this time, and only the sound of the horseshoes of the patrol team could be vaguely heard from the wooden wall not far away.

Charles looked at the mechanical watch on his left wrist. It was just past eight thirty in the evening.

Seeing that Twilight on the other side of the firepit had already fallen asleep, he put away the magic lantern and quietly went outside to practice "Revealing the True Form".

Nothing to say all night.

When it was daylight, Charles was woken up.

The Great Elder would not let him go to the Chestnut Forest by himself. He had already selected several soldiers to assist him yesterday.

Only then did Charles know that the horsemen also hunted and ate meat, but meat was regarded as a tonic for them, and they only ate some when they were injured or sick. In addition, pregnant women and soldiers ate a little after getting up and before going to bed every day.

In fact, they didn't have any plan. They used Charles as the spearhead, and Bain and the other centaurs defended the rear and the tree, advancing steadily all the way.

In addition, Charles asked for some wooden stakes and big stones to put in the bag, which will be used as throwing weapons at that time.

When he left the tribe, Charles finally knew how the horsemen raised chickens.

The feathers on the trailing edge of these chickens were plucked and could not fly very far.

A group of girls around Twilight's age drove the chickens into the woods with sticks and let them find their own food, with egg bags hanging from their waists.

The teenagers, together with their parents, went deep into the woods with bows and arrows on their backs, hunting and gathering fruits and mushrooms in safer places.

After casting the floating spell on himself, Charles is like a master of martial arts who knows how to do light work. He can keep up with the horseman running at a small pace in the woods, provided he doesn't hit a tree.

There are many dangers hidden in the dark in the Forbidden Forest. An inconspicuous vine may be the noose of death, a puddle of water on the ground may be a ferocious hunter, and a big mushroom under a tree may run faster than you.

The chestnut forest is less than two kilometers away from the centaur tribe in a straight line. In fact, they ran a full four kilometers to bypass the dangerous area.

"It's just ahead." Bane pointed to the front and said, "Those giant arachnids come here early every year to dig holes and ambush in order to hunt animals that eat chestnuts and us."

"It's morning and it's still cold. They should all be in the hole."

Charles nodded slightly, waved his wand, and cast the inexperienced Spell of Reality.

At present, the radius of his spell is only equivalent to the distance of the long side of a basketball court, which is a drop in the bucket for the vast chestnut forest.

Fortunately, the acromantula's intelligence is limited, as long as one moves, the rest will swarm out.

A beam of light as thick as chopsticks appeared on the ground more than ten meters in front of Charles, and everyone suddenly became nervous.

An unknown snake, coiled under a dead leaf, hadn't woken up when it was smashed into a second dimension by a big rock.

Although it was a false alarm, the spell did work, and Charles and the horsemen greatly increased their confidence.

Charles and the others formed a formation, and the centaurs put their arrows on their bows and began to move forward slowly.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and there was silence in the woods, as if something was lurking in the dark.

Charles cast a spell every 10 meters, and at first it was safe and sound.

At the edge of the chestnut grove, Charles found a hide.

This should be a cat raccoon, the fur is still intact, there are two holes on the side of the body a little bigger than the little finger, the internal muscles and internal organs are gone, even the bones are only a large part, and the cartilage has disappeared , like an empty bag.

"It's a young acromantula." Bane said in a low voice. "The fangs are not too thick, and the venom can't melt big bones. It won't take more than three days."

Charles nodded and said, "Be careful next, I'll cast the Iron Armor Curse on you."

When their lives are at stake, the horse people don't care whether their traditions allow wizards to cast spells on them. No one wants to become an empty skin like a cat or raccoon on the ground.

"The true form is revealed!"

A white beam of light appeared in the fallen leaves 20 meters away, as thick as an arm, much thicker than the snake just now, and there was obviously a big guy underneath.

Charles asked Bain and the others to get ready.

He threw a stone at the position of the beam of light, and a smaller acromantula rushed out of the fallen leaves and came out of the cave.

The acromantula was a little excited after seeing Charles and the others, and made a "da da da" sound.

Charles immediately used the combination of the flying spell and the throwing spell, and the acromantula rolled on the ground for more than 20 meters, all eight legs were broken, and the "da da" sound changed.

Bane whispered, "It's calling for companions."

Charles said at once, "We're going back to the glade."

They withdrew after finishing speaking, and soon there were many "da da" sounds from behind and from both sides.

These acromanders have a certain tactical instinct and will surround their prey, running into open spaces can reduce the spider's concealment.

"so many!"

Bain's expression was very serious. At first they thought there were at most ten acromantulas, but they didn't expect more than twenty to appear all of a sudden.

Charles frowned slightly, what he wanted now was speed and efficiency, and he had to deal with such acromantulas before they rushed close.

So, he gave a big blow to the few giant acromantulas at the front.

"Gadim Leviosa!"

Three acromantulas soared into the sky in an instant, flying to a height of 100 meters, and then Charles ignored them.

Using a combined spell requires two spells. Now, if you can solve it with one spell, you never need two, saving half the time.

If the 100-meter free fall still can't kill these big spiders, then 200 meters, and if it doesn't die, then the Avada Rainbow Cannon.

One of the first three acromantulas to go up to the sky fell to the ground, and its entire stomach exploded like a bag full of water falling from a tall building. Another one was stuck on the top of a tree, and the last one fell into a branch. , the huge impact broke it into several pieces.

Seeing that it was effective, Charles immediately continued to cast the spell, and the one that charged the Acantara the fastest was also the fastest.

He is already very proficient in the Levitating Curse, almost hitting wherever it is pointed, and there is enough time... It's no wonder.

The smell emitted by the acromantula after falling to death attracted the surrounding companions, and the number of spiders suddenly increased.

Charles can only attack one fan, while spiders are coming from all directions.

This is dangerous, Bain and the others keep shooting arrows.

Charles immediately increased the output, causing the spiders in a larger area to fly, so as to buy time to change positions and cast spells in other directions.

For a moment, the giant eight-eyed spider continuously flew into the air, like a spider fountain.

After an unknown amount of time, the Forbidden Forest suddenly quietened down. The north wind blew past, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.

"How many?"

"More than fifty."

"Sixty-three, I'm exhausted."

Charles plopped down on the grass, finally done.

A bottle of happy water appeared in front of Charles, and Bain said to him very sincerely, "Thank you."

They kept shooting arrows just now, but now the hands holding the happy water are shaking.

Charles took out a few canned fruits and distributed them to everyone, to replenish his strength first.

After resting, Charles immediately took the venom from all the spider corpses, and then came to the chestnut forest with Bain and the others without any danger. After some inspection, they found that there were no acromanders around.

But this was not over yet, everyone put the poisoned wooden thorns into the hole that the acromantula had dug before going back, and the acromantula entered the pit backwards.
