Chapter 175： Horseman and harbinger (1/2)

Ai Wen returned to the black forest, and walked along the path for a while.

He was ready to find a place where he could ambush the little dwarf Peter, but he stopped immediately and he heard something on the fallen leaves.

Evan hurriedly hid behind the big tree beside him, listening to his ears. He lifted the Animagus form and pulled out his wand. The sound is like a cloak dragging on the ground, getting closer and closer, will it be an eight-eyed giant spider? !

Suddenly, an arrow flew through the air, and a slamming sound fell on the tree above the head of Ai Wen. The sound was creepy.

Ai Wen’s curse also flew out almost in an instant. Through the light of the spell, he saw something appearing in the open space in front of him. It looked like a human, with black hair and a beard, but below the waist. It is a brown-black shiny horse with a long black tail behind it.

This is a horseman. He is sensitive to avoiding the curse, pulling his bow and aiming at Ai Wen.

”Who are you, human?” The horseman's face was full of anger, and the tone said rudely, ”Into our woods, and intend to attack me with magic?!”

”I'm sorry, this is a misunderstanding! I thought you were an eight-eyed spider. You know, I just encountered them.” Ai Wen's wand ends with a faint glow. ”I introduce myself, my name is Ai. Wen Mason, from Hogwarts.”

Evan's mind tries to recollect the content related to the Ma people. In most wizard books and laws, the introduction of this kind of humanoid creature is full of contempt.

For example, in Article 7 of the ”Management Measures for the Control of Magical Biological Management”, the definition of the horse is: a human head with a human head, a trunk, limbs and horses, and a magical animal close to human intelligence. Please pay attention to the use of words, close to human intelligence and animals, very humiliating vocabulary, which also represents the absolute logarithm of the wizards on the Ma people.

But the actual situation is totally different. The Ma is a very proud creature.

Generally speaking, they are full of distrust of human beings, whether they are wizards or Muggles, and there is no difference in their eyes. The Maers are proficient in therapeutic magic, divination, archery and astronomy and enjoy a high reputation in these fields.

The horses often live together in groups and form a clan.

The Maren clan in the Forbidden Forest in Hogwarts is the largest known Ma ethnic tribe and has been in existence for more than a thousand years. Before the Big Four established the Hogwarts School of Magic, the horse's ancestors lived in this magical forest that was later called the Forbidden Forest.

Ai Wen is not stupid enough to get along with a horseman according to the contents of the book, unless he wants to irritate the other person and die faster. He tried to think of each other as a person who was exactly the same as himself, and he tried not to look down on the lower body of the opponent, although it seemed really strange.

”I am avoiding the eight-eyed spider.”

”Eight eyes giant spider!!!” The anger on the horse's face seems to be more vigorous. He said angrily. ”I don't know when, the number of these ferocious and hateful guys in the woods is increasing. They are comfortable. Attacking other creatures and occupying the territory that originally belonged to us.”

Ai Wen is amazed. It is no wonder that the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider has been rated as one of the most dangerous and magical animals by the Ministry of Magic and has been clearly listed as a Class A non-traded commodity by the Magical Biomanagement Control Division.

Perhaps their single attack ability is slightly weaker, but the ferocious personality, super high intelligence and strong ability to multiply, make the eight-eyed spider have a strong ability to invade the species and cause great damage to the ecological environment. It can be seen from the tone of this horseman that Aragog and its descendants must have made the horses in the Forbidden Forest painful.

There was a sudden movement in the bush, and Avon hurriedly raised his wand.

He thought it was an eight-eyed spider. As a result, it was only the second horse, red-haired, brown-red body, which looked thinner than the first horse.
