Chapter 274: Where is Lu Wei (1/2)
The forbidden forest is huge, but dogs are hard to find.
Albert and Hagrid have been walking in the forbidden forest for ten minutes, but they still haven't found any clues. To put it bluntly, it is purely wandering in the forbidden forest.
”Hagrid, do you have any plans?” Albert thought that Hagrid, the client, was probably fainted and had no time to use his brain to think. He ignored many things, so he reminded him.
Albert doesn't want to accompany Hagrid to wandering in the forbidden forest. Although he thinks he has good luck, he always feels very unreliable to rely on luck to do things.
”This...” Hagrid pulled off his long beard several times when he heard the words, and he still couldn't calm down. ”I don't have time to think about it, and I'm not good at using my brain. I'm just going to find it in the forbidden forest. Look, maybe you can find traces left by Lu Wei.”
As expected, I have no plan, ready to look around and try my luck?
Albert could not help sighing in his heart, stopped and looked at Hagrid helplessly, and said, ”It's all luck to find this way. Good luck, you can find it later, bad luck, I can't find it for ten and a half months. To.”
Hagrid was silent, and said to Albert: ”I'm in a mess now, I know you are smart. Tell me what should I do now?”
”This...” Albert asked tentatively, ”How did you find things before?”
”Wandering around in the forbidden forest.” Hagrid looked a little embarrassed. ”I am familiar with the periphery of the forbidden forest, but... it will take a lot of time, and I'm worried that Lu Wei will run around and hurt Hogwarts. s student.”
”Care is chaos.” Albert sighed and raised two fingers. ”There are two ways. First, ask the residents here. Should you know the residents of the Forbidden Forest?”
”Resident, resident?” Hagrid asked Albert a little confused, ”Do you mean the horseman?”
”Not only horsemen, but other magical animals are the same.” Albert reminded Hagrid, ”The three-headed dog is a very dangerous magical animal. Without your feeding, it needs to hunt to fill its stomach. It is forbidden. The periphery of the forest is definitely a top predator, and most animals have a specific range of activities. Of course, it would be better if the horsemen can provide useful information.”
Hagrid immediately understood that the three-headed dogs run around in the forbidden forest, but they always need to fill their stomachs, which means that Lu Wei will be attracted by the hunting grounds with abundant prey.
This was also one of Hagrid's concerns, what if Lu Wei was hungry and attacked the students.
There are not many animals in the forbidden forest in winter.
”Let's go to a few nearby places where animals are dense to find Lu Wei.” Hagrid led the way first. He was familiar with the forbidden forest and knew where to find animals in winter.
”The second method is fortune.” Albert watched Hagrid react and said as he walked behind him.
”What's that?” Hagrid had never heard of the elixir, and the magic knowledge he learned might not be as rich as Albert.
”It's the lucky potion, the magic potion that will change your luck after drinking. I still have a little lucky potion. If you really can't find Lu Wei, you can use it to try your luck.” Albert explained casually, ” Of course, it may not be successful.”
Hager relaxed, thinking it would be great to have a reliable helper. At least, it wasn't that he was worried alone.
In the beginning, Hagrid left food in the place where Lu Wei was originally kept, and would go there to check it every day. Although the food had signs of being bitten, it was not Lu Wei's accomplishment.
The two walked on the snow for a while, and Hagrid pointed to the traces on the ground and said, ”There is an animal trail here. Occasionally deer or other animals pass by. However, most animals drink in the nearby river in winter. Water, where there are springs, won’t freeze completely in winter.”
arrived at the river, and indeed found many traces of animal activities, but still did not find the footprints left by Lu Wei.
”We continue to go up. The spring is located near the horseman's range of activities. We used to see if the horseman has seen Lu Wei. It is difficult to hide what happened in the forbidden forest.” Get Albert's reminder After that, Hagrid began to quickly enter the state.
Although this is also very unreliable, Albert can't think of a better way.
”Wait, Hagrid, let me try the flying curse.” Albert suddenly thought of something, so he raised the wand in his hand and said a curse towards the surrounding forest.
”Lu Wei is flying here.”
