A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 224: Aragok
Felix rarely uses a broomstick, but this is the most appropriate method. He has no interest in spending hours exploring the location of the acromantula's nest.
He took out the glass bottle from his pocket and asked the acromantula inside, "Can you determine the location?"
"Are you going to the spider's lair?" the acromantula asked in surprise.
"Yeah, gaining knowledge." Felix's answer was very perfunctory.
The acromantula had long recognized this wizard's temper, and if it didn't do any good, he would throw it to the edge of the forest, turn around and leave. With this attitude now, it could only be that he intends to do something to the group of giant eight-eyed spiders.
Although there were more than 300 acromantulas in the lair, it still had no idea, so it simply kept silent. Felix stuffed it into his pocket, flew for half an hour in the direction the centaur pointed him to, and jumped off the broom.
"Next," Felix waved his wand, "I remember stamping the three acromantulas before. Let me see where you are?"
A few weeks ago, Felix went deep into the Forbidden Forest to practice the scaling spell, and strayed into the hunting range of the acromantula, and was attacked by a group of big spiders. As expected, he knocked down these big spiders, and some of them were still alive. He secretly applied tracking magic...
Felix quickly sensed the direction of the magic mark. He walked along a twisted path. There were more and more broken stones on the ground, the roots of the trees were intertwined, and some spider webs could be seen sporadically.
"Acromantula's silk is non-toxic." Felix picked the spider silk with his fingertips. The mucus on it had dried up, and it felt like a flexible rope.
"Maybe it can be added to the binding vine, I don't know what effect it will have." Felix muttered, collecting some white spider webs.
Soon, a whistling sound came from his ear, and the sound of "click, click" became one piece. Felix looked back, and saw thirty or forty acromantulas the size of a small carriage surrounded him. .
A minute later.
Felix took out a goblet from the ring, and stuffed more than thirty shrunken acromanders into it.
After thinking for a while, he took out the glass bottle from his pocket and released the original acromantula 'prisoner'. After a burst of intense blue light, it finally returned to its original shape.
"Here, your companion, hold on tight, don't pinch it." Felix put the goblet in the gap between its left pincers, and the eight black eyes of the acromantula were dead. Stare at the little spiders huddled together in the cup.
"You, you put them..." The acromantula made a dent in the goblet in excitement, and the little spiders in it ran around in panic, but the mouth of the cup was covered with a translucent film, There is no escape.
"It's too troublesome to explain one by one, it's better to save some trouble." Felix played with the ebony wand in his hand, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet, do you have names?"
The acromantula froze for a few seconds, then said in a rough voice, "Goke, my name is Goke."
Felix said, "Gork? I remember the guy that Hagrid kept in the cupboard at first. His name was Aragog... What's the relationship between you?"
Acromantula Gorke reluctantly said: "I am his child."
It seems that even magical creatures have family discord. Felix did not ask questions like "Which child are you?", "How is your relationship with Aragog?" .
They went deeper and deeper into the Forbidden Forest. Even in the daytime, the light was very dim. The beech trees above their heads were like layers of hoods, completely blocking the sun from the outside.
Felix swung his wand, causing a circle of faint blue flames to circle him, providing him with sufficient illumination. Spiders of different sizes began to appear on the ground covered with fallen leaves, densely packed, crawling around from the exposed tree roots and leaf piles.
"There is a very remote spell in my mind, the spider banishing spell?" Most of his consciousness entered the thinking cabin, and after a while he shook his hand and waved a red light, the little spider moved away from him uncontrollably, even The acromantula Gork also felt the wind under his feet and retreated quickly.
Felix scratched his head, "Almost forgot about you, okay." He canceled the spell, cast a levitation spell on himself, and stood lightly on the acromantula Gork.
"Let's go."
He pulled a hair from the back of the acromantula, transformed it into a soft cushion, and sat on it.
The acromantula, Gork, objected very much, but it knew that it would be useless to mention it, so it hummed twice, and the other free pincer made a "click click", as if it was venting its anger.
They started on the road again, and there were fewer and fewer fallen leaves on the ground, and more and more white spider webs. Little spiders, all stuffed into goblets.
They came to the edge of a wide, sunken clearing. Under the light of the blue flames, Felix saw hundreds of gigantic creatures. Gork jumped off.
In the center of the depression, there is a misty, hemispherical spider web. Several giant spiders came forward, and one of them with white hair on its head said, "Gok, you brought a wizard here, and you betrayed Aragog?"
In the darkness, more "clicks" sounded, appearing eerie in the dense forest where no light could be seen.
The acromantula known as "Gok" yelled angrily, "I never betrayed Aragog, never!" Shout: "Aragok, Aragog!"
From the misty, hemispherical web, very slowly emerged a spider the size of an African elephant. Its body and legs were black and gray, and each eye in its ugly head was clouded with white. It is blind.
"What's the matter?" it said, clicking, and the two big pincers moved quickly.
"Gork is back," said the big white-haired spider, "with people."
"Who is it, Hagrid?" Aragog moved closer, his eight milky eyes staring blankly.
"No, it's a strange wizard."
"Kill him, I'm sleeping..." Aragog said irritably ~IndoMTL.com~ Oh, I don't think so, I have a hostage. "Felix said briskly.
"The hostage..." Aragog was a little dazed. It looked in Felix's direction blankly, and moved its gray-black pincers. "Gok, what did you do?"
Acromantula Gork said gruffly, "Old man, are you completely confused? This wizard said he had a hostage in his hands!" It's shrunk...they are all our clansmen, hundreds of them!"
Aragok was silent for a long time, and when Felix wondered if it had fallen asleep, it finally spoke, and its words were much more cautious: "Which powerful wizard came to my territory? I , Aragog, the founder of the acromant colony in the Forbidden Forest, and Hogwarts do not invade each other."
Felix smiled lightly: "It's really interesting. I've always wondered where the root of Gork's disregard for human life is. I think I may have found it."
"You came to the wrong place, Mister Wizard, we haven't harmed any little wizard." Aragog said, its gray-black pincers struck the ground, and more and more big spiders appeared, Stand behind it.
