Chapter 128 The Malfoy family is not a glorious history
Ted and Hagrid discuss the centaurs, and Hagrid communicates frequently with the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest.
Don't look at the horseman as if he is completely closed. Actually not.
It is difficult for them to be self-sufficient in all aspects, and they need the materials of the wizarding society.
Every month, Hagrid would go to the centaur tribe to take away the herbs and magic materials they picked, and then bring some supplies needed by the centaur.
Hagrid has a right to run amok in the Forbidden Forest.
Not only can fight!
What is the use of being able to fight? Coming out to hang out is to talk about power~
Ted and Hagrid chatted about the tribal social structure of the centaurs, and remembered some knowledge that Professor Quirrell had left for him.
Professor Quirrell also studied the centaur.
It's just that the research direction was quickly changed to study species that are not very protected by law, and even if they are caught, they will be fined at most-such as giant monsters.
Professor Quirrell did not study some issues in depth, such as the issues that Ted has always been concerned about.
Ted asked carefully: "Hagrid, are there many centaurs?"
"Not many! There are less than eighty tribes in the Forbidden Forest."
"What about the female centaur and the baby?" Ted asked again.
"I don't see many female centaurs. They are usually at the core of the tribe's gathering place and are protected. The same goes for the pony—the centaur call the underage pony and little wizard a pony."
Ted nodded, and finally turned around: "Then, do horse people also grow up drinking? Where did they drink?"
Hagrid scratched his head, "I, I don't know. I haven't seen it!"
The eyes of Malfoy behind him were about to pop out: What the **** are you talking about? Drink, drink? !
At this time, Malfoy finally confirmed: You must not mess with this Ted, he is different from us normal people! He is perverted!
Ted felt a little aggrieved: You misunderstood me! I'm just wondering if centaurs are mammals? Where did the baby come from again...scientific research, what's wrong with me? !
Ted's question shocked Malfoy for several years. Even after several years, I still think about this problem. Almost became his demon: where did he drink it?
Well, as expected, she was assimilated unconsciously.
Enter Zhilan’s room, and don’t smell its fragrance for a long time~
…
"Be careful!" Suddenly a faint light flickered in Ted's arms, Ted shouted to remind Hagrid and Malfoy, and at the same time waved his wand "Frostbolt!"
A 20 cm long sharp blue ice arrow flew out and collided with the huge black shadow that suddenly rushed from the ground.
"There are many obstacles!"
"Frost Nova!"
Ted's casting was too fast, a spell and the cold shock wave under his feet flew out almost at the same time.
The black shadow was hit by many obstacles, and the black shadow didn't seem to be seriously injured by the Frostbolt, but the many obstacles did slow down its pounce.
Then the cold impact of Frost Nova covered its body surface.
"呱~" There was a dull cry like a cow mooing, and the thing was half-frozen by a large block of ice. Although she can still move, her movements are as slow as those of an old lady.
Hagrid pulled the trigger, and a crossbow bolt thicker than Ted's thumb "popped" into the monster's body, and then - Hagrid dropped the hunting crossbow, screaming and rushed up!
The hammer-like big fist landed on the monster's slippery body...
A minute later, Hagrid stood up out of breath, and cursed, "Damn it! How could there be a Gigabola appearing on the edge of the Forbidden Forest? It's so big!"
The one who attacked Ted and the others was a giant toad like a jeep.
It has tentacles of different lengths on its head, and there are eyeballs on the tentacles.
It hid in the underground mud, covered with thick rotting leaves, motionless as if in hibernation, not even breathing.
Hagrid had a chat with Ted, and he kept thinking about the centaurs, and he didn't expect that there would be a frog monster leaving the swamp area and running to the edge of the forbidden forest, so he was fooled by this possibility.
This thing is actually very dangerous. Although it doesn't have much magic ability, the skin has strong magic resistance. Moreover, they are strong and good at sneak attacks, and they often swallow their prey alive in one bite. They are recognized as half-dangerous magical creatures by the Ministry of Magic.
Thanks to the psicrystal servant Peter in Ted's arms, it has been driving "spiritual detection" to replace Ted's perception of the surrounding mental body, and it has noticed the weak thinking fluctuations of this big toad, which reminds Ted in time. Avoid being attacked.
Ted and Hagrid will naturally not be affected by this big toad, but if they attack suddenly, Malfoy might be swallowed by the pill~
…
Although the one-minute battle is not long, it is also intense.
Without Ted's assistance, Hagrid would have had to struggle a bit to kill this thing.
Mainly he couldn't use his little umbrella (his wand) in front of both Tad and Malfoy.
Although this big toad looks ugly, it can be regarded as full of treasures.
Tongue, skin, tentacles, eyes, internal organs... are all magic materials, and some of them are quite valuable.
Hagrid dealt with it with a knife, and said, "Ted, you got half of the spoils this time. You used that freezing spell too well. You froze the Grogmons!"
At this time, both Ted and Malfoy hid far away. After all, Hagrid's actions were a bit bloody.
Malfoy was even more frightened and hid behind Yaya just now, but now he has gained Yaya's contempt.
Ted walked over to Malfoy, who was still in shock and a little depressed.
"Sit down, there is still more than an hour. Do you want to eat?" Ted handed over a piece of beef jerky.
Malfoy hesitated, and took it.
He doesn't eat this kind of low-level food, but he is really hungry, and the beef jerky is really delicious.
Malfoy: I can bear it~ Hey, it smells so good!
Ted leaned against the tree trunk, looking through the thick leaves at the dappled moon.
"Draco, may I call you that?"
Malfoy hesitated for a moment, and nodded for the sake of beef jerky.
"Draco, I don't hate you." Ted's words startled Malfoy.
"I don't think there are any real bad guys in school, and I'd be friends with anyone. Maybe our colleges are different, but that's not why we're against each other..."
Malfoy stared blankly at Ted, he forgot to chew the jerky: What are you talking about? Are you crazy?
Ted continued: "Draco, I don't care if you insult me, I don't care about it. But I can't tolerate you insulting my friends. Mudbloods shouldn't come out of your mouth... I hope you will too A friend who wants to protect."
Malfoy looked at Ted blankly, he really didn't know what to do, or what should he say?
Is he mocking me for having no friends? I...I have...have...his~
"What do you think about pure blood?" Ted asked.
"Pure blood?"
"Yes, it is the pure blood in your mouth."
"Pure blood is a badge of honor!" Malfoy cheered.
Ted nodded: "What if I tell you that's not the case?"
"you…"
Ted waved his hand and interrupted him.
"Do you know the history of your Malfoy family?"
"Of course I know!"
"No, you don't. History is a victor's little girl who dresses up as she pleases."
"The Statute of Secrecy divided wizarding and Muggle society, and until then wizards and Muggles had always been mixed. Although many wizarding families can be traced back to BC, they basically intermarried with Muggles. At that time, there were no People purify blood."
"You! You nonsense!"
"For example, your ancestors..."
"Armand Malfoy, as a member of the Norman army, followed William to Britain. Because Malfoy secretly provided magical help to William during this period, he got a piece of land in the golden section of Wiltshire. This land was originally Belonging to a local landowner whose descendants have lived here for ten consecutive centuries...Your family isn't even native to Great Britain. Understand?"
"It wasn't until the passage of the "International Confederation of Wizards' Secrecy Act" in 1692 that it took three hundred years for the concept of pure blood to gradually rise."
"At that time, the Malfoy family had fully integrated into the upper class of Muggles. Although you have been strongly denying it now, there is sufficient evidence to prove that Lucius Malfoy I was the suitor of Elizabeth I, but in the end it failed~ "
"Some wizarding historians in the wizarding world believe that the reason why the Queen never got married after that was because she was cursed by your ancestors."
"The Malfoy family has continuously merged the surrounding Muggle lands and expanded their already large manor. You have also successfully dabbled in Muggle currency and assets, becoming one of the richest wizarding families in the UK."
"Although your family opposed the "Secrecy Act" at first, when you couldn't stop it, you quickly chose to stand in line - cut off all previous ties with the Muggle family, and denied having had a deep intersection with them."
Ted was chewing beef jerky while recounting the history of Malfoy's family fortune, while Draco's pupils dilated.
Tonight is destined to be the day when his three views are broken and reconstructed.
For example, the problem of horse breastfeeding, or the family history that has never been mentioned.
"It's not shameful to become completely dependent on Muggles. On the contrary, it should be the norm in the wizarding world, and even relying on non-magic dignitaries to rise is one of the most glorious ways for wizards to achieve self-realization recognized by people in the eastern and western magical circles. Merlin himself, for example, is famous in history because of his epic of assisting the Muggle king."
Ted patted the stunned Malfoy on the shoulder, and wiped his hands by the way: "So, whether it's pure blood or not, everything depends on interests. Pure blood is just an excuse for vested interest groups to gather together."
"I can tell you a secret..."
Ted leaned closer to Malfoy's ear: "The mysterious man is a half-blood wizard~"
Malfoy finally forgot how he got back to the castle, back to the dormitory. When I opened my eyes the next day, I felt like I had a nightmare.
In the end, I couldn't take it anymore, and wrote a letter to my father, begging him to tell him the truth...
