Chapter 71: Make A Fortune, Jealous Snape
Amidst the miserable screams, the centaurs fell to the ground one after another.
Wayne actually didn't kill him, and it looked like he was bleeding profusely, but given the centaur's physique, it could only be considered an ordinary injury.
After all, it's just an ordinary python transformed, and it doesn't have any strong venom.
The mother unicorn suddenly began to neigh, and Wayne probably understood what she meant.
"You want me to let them go?"
The unicorn nodded, his clear and ignorant eyes containing no trace of impurity.
The unicorn barked a few more times, and with his talent, although he didn't fully understand, Wayne probably understood what she wanted to express.
It probably means that she used to have a good relationship with the horse people tribe, and the horse people would also share some of the fruits and vegetables they cultivated with her.
We are all friends. Stop fighting. No one will die this way.
"It's okay to let them go..."
Wayne stroked the unicorn's slender neck, "But you have to let me play with you in the future."
The unicorn blinked in confusion.
Even if you don't say it, it will not refuse Wayne to look for it in the future.
Reading the unicorn's expression, Wayne suddenly felt that he was guilty and his thoughts were too complicated.
The animal world is that simple. If you are kind to it, it will treat you well in every possible way.
Even Aragog, the Acromantula, is the same. Hagrid is a special existence in his heart.
For Hagrid, Aragog has forcibly given up the habit of cannibalism for fifty years.
As for ordering other Acromantulas to hunt him just now, it was just animal habits at work, and it did not affect Wayne's ability to see his merits.
"I'll give you some face."
After Wayne finished speaking, the pythons that were still fighting the centaurs turned into ropes and temporarily controlled them.
"Go talk to them, or I'll have to fight again after I untie them."
Upon hearing Wayne's command, the unicorn propped up the sleeping baby with its head, placed it in Wayne's arms, and walked over.
After neighing "four seven three" several times in succession, the horsemen stopped struggling.
Wayne then untied the rope.
Clutching the wound on his neck, the leading centaur staggered up and walked to Wayne's side, the humanoid part of his body leaning slightly downward.
"I'm sorry I misunderstood you, little pony.
"My name is Lacy. Please forgive our recklessness. Seeing Hestia beside you, we thought you had captured her."
"Wayne Lawrence." Wayne said his name lightly: "Hestia? Is that your name?"
He said the last sentence to the unicorn.
"Woo"
"Okay, then I'll call you Hestia from now on.
After saying that, Wayne frowned again: "Who told you to stop, Aragog, do you not want the poisonous axiom?"
Aragog was shocked and quickly ordered the remaining Acromantulas to continue to contribute venom.
Be sure not to anger this evil star.
Seeing the Acromantula continue to milk, Wayne nodded with satisfaction.
"Lazi, right? You are the leader of the centaurs?"
"No." Lacy shook his head, "Horses are all equal. There is no so-called leader. I am just the captain of the patrol team. During the patrol, my will is the main one."
"I'm not interested in how you divide it." Wayne waved his hand: "As long as what you say works.
"Although I let you off today, it's not without a price."
"Did you see what happened to the Acromantula?" Wayne pointed at the 'cows'.
"Those venoms are the price to pay, because they angered me, so...what are you going to pay to calm my anger?"
Wayne watched the centaurs gather together in a leisurely manner.
Adhering to the spirit of plucking the geese's feathers, even foxes would have to leave some feces when passing by, let alone these wise horse people.
There must be a lot of good stuff on hand.
"Don't promise him, Lacy!"
A centaur with stern black hair and a beard roared angrily: "A centaur will never be a slave, evil little wizard, you can never make us surrender!"
boom!
Before he finished speaking, Wayne raised his hand and cast a magic spell. The red light blasted the centaur away an unknown distance, as if he was swallowed by darkness.
"Bane!"
Lacy had no time to stop him and could only watch his companion disappear before his eyes.
"Little Pony, you've gone too far!"
Lacy said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Dumbledore?"
"Dumbledore?" Wayne's shining black eyes exuded coldness: "Even if you bring this matter to the Ministry of Magic, I will be justified."
"I am just breaking school rules, but what about you, pointing bows and arrows at underage wizards? Which side do you think Dumbledore will take?"
"As for that mean-mouthed centaur, I'm just teaching you the rules."
"Prisoners should have the consciousness of being prisoners, and their mouths are used to make you beg for mercy, not to scream.
"Also, call me by my name. I'm a human, not a horse. Don't keep calling me a pony."
Lacy was speechless after all these words. In the final analysis, they were the ones who were reckless and subconsciously mistook Wayne for a poacher without fully understanding the situation.
"What do you want?" Lacy lowered her head and asked in frustration:
"Human gold and jewels have no effect on centaurs, we never collected them.
"Who wants those crappy things?" Wayne waved his hand impatiently. He lacked everything except money.
When the Galleons are gone, just keep selling gold bricks.
"I heard that horse people are not only good at prophecy, bows and arrows, but also have good achievements in herbal medicine."
"Bring some herbs and the matter will be over."
"You measure the specific quantity yourself. If it's less..."
Wayne sneered twice, "Then don't blame me for visiting your tribe."
Lacy was immediately relieved when she saw that Wayne just needed herbs.
The Forbidden Forest is the home of the horse people. It is not easy to collect herbs.
"No problem, please wait a moment, I will go back and bring it over."
"A horse can pull as much as they want, and they will go back with you." Wayne was not afraid that these horsemen would never return.
Horse people are all one-minded, and as long as they promise something, they will definitely do it.
Sure enough, seeing Wayne trusting her so much, Lacy looked at him with respect.
Bowing again, he ordered other centaurs to follow his pace.
Looking at the direction, we should first look for Bain who was just blasted away.
Wayne yawned involuntarily.
After struggling for so long, look at the time, it should be almost two o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately, tomorrow is the weekend, so he can sleep in.
The Acromantulas carefully lined up to be milked. In the end, all the spiders were exhausted, but the barrels were still about one-fifth full.
Wayne smiled half-heartedly: "Aragog, what do you say?"
"No!"
“Can fill it up!”
"I still have venom, count my share!" Aragog's legs were numb as he had been hanging.
Wayne clicked his tongue, and the vines instantly released their control. Aragog fell to the ground, and it took him a long time to get up.
He had almost drained himself of the poison, but he could still fill up the last fifth.
Aragog collapsed on the ground: "No more, really not a drop left."
"Okay, get out of here." Wayne waved his hand, chasing people away like flies.
Not only did Aragog not feel angry, but he was grateful that Wayne could keep his promise and let them live.
As for the thought of revenge in the future, it doesn't arise at all.
At Wayne's age, he will only get stronger as time goes by. It's a blessing not to cause trouble for his own tribe.
Aragog has decided to move when he returns!
The further away from where the unicorn lives, the better, to avoid encountering this evil star in the future.
Unfortunately, Aragog didn't know that he and his descendants had honorably become Wayne's designated suppliers, and would inevitably have opportunities to deal with him in the future.
After they left, the horse people left and returned not long after.
This time, it was not just the dozen or so people who came before, but several more, each carrying bundles of herbs on their backs.
The leading centaur put down the herbs and walked up to Wayne.
"Hello, I'm Firenze."
Wayne nodded, impressed by this name, and would become the Prophecy Professor at Hogwarts in the future.
"The Mars is very bright tonight. I have warned Lacy and the others to be careful. Unfortunately, they did not take my advice to heart."
"I'm sorry for this completely unnecessary conflict and for Bane's rudeness."
Lacy lowered her head in shame.
Most of the horse people's divination relies on astrology, and Mars often represents war and disaster.
"It's okay. If we don't fight, we won't get to know each other."
After the sharp-eyed Wayne saw the number and types of herbs clearly, he could not remember the unpleasantness just now, and talked to Firenze with a smile.
After saying a few words, all the centaurs put down the herbs.
Firenze thanked Wayne again for his mercy, nodded to Hestia, and led the rest of the tribe away.
"Woo"
The time has come to part ways.
Hestia called softly, and Wayne rubbed her head:
"Okay, you are very tired just after giving birth. Go back and rest."
With her big eyes showing reluctance, Hestia carried the baby on her back, turned back step by step, and finally disappeared into the darkness.
"Feng Wang, take me back."
"After returning to the Forbidden Forest, please stay with Hestia for the time being."
"Chirp!"
The firelight flickered, and Chen Lin regained his composure again.
The next morning, Wayne went to see Qiu again, and the little witch blushed when she saw him.
After Madam Pomfrey checked, she determined that Qiu was fine and released her from the hospital so that she could participate in Quidditch matches.
Qiu thanked Wayne again and again.
But this time, there was no hugging.
"Speaking of which, does this count as my rival?" Wayne suddenly laughed and joked: "Don't forget, Ravenclaw's opponent in the November game is Hufflepuff."
"Hmph"
Qiu rolled her eyes: "Even if you say that, I won't be merciful.
Wayne nodded in agreement: "Don't be merciful, I'm afraid you'll come crying to me after losing so miserably.
"You're the only one who cries." Qiu Buyi said: "I'm not the kind of girl who cries when something happens..."
"Oh?" Wayne said in a long tone, "I don't know who it was yesterday. When I came over, those eyes were red..."
"Oh, stop talking!" Qiu blushed and chased Wayne.
Soon, the sound of two people chasing each other was heard in the corridor.
Fortunately, Filch and his Mrs. Norris were not on the second floor, otherwise they would have been detained.
Qiu's lightspeed healing caused quite a stir in Ravenclaw.
Many of them had heard Madam Pomfrey's diagnosis yesterday, but Qiu was discharged from the hospital after just one night.
Not only that, but you can also participate in the Quidditch match next month.
Faced with everyone's inquiries, Qiu just smiled and said that Madam Pomfrey had used some special medicine for her.
It is a very precious special medicine, which is why I can recover so quickly.
This is what Pomfrey taught Qiu to say, and the purpose is to protect Wayne and not reveal the secret of King Phoenix.
Needless to say, in terms of caring for little wizards, the professors at Hogwarts are quite qualified.
This is one of the reasons why Wayne doesn't mind revealing some of his secrets in school.
Overall, the wizarding world is relatively peaceful. Excluding the uncertainties brought by the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Hogwarts is indeed a pure land.
He didn't have to worry about his wealth being coveted by Dumbledore and the four Heads of House.
And others....
What kind of stinky fish or shrimp deserves to worry him?
If you piss him off, you can directly use the missile to coax him.
Don't forget, in addition to being a wizard, he is also a noble!
However, the recovery of autumn is certainly a joy.
But one thing that worries Wayne is that the atmosphere between him, Qiu, and Hermione is a little weird.
In the past, the three of them often acted together, and Qiu and Hermione would even go to the library to do homework together when Wayne was away.
The relationship between the two is very good.
But since that night, there have been very few scenes of Hermione and Cho being present at the same time. Even if Wayne forcibly pulls them together, the two rarely speak.
It's quite normal when you're alone.
Wayne didn't have much to do about it.
He's been very busy lately.
During the day, while others were doing their homework, he also had to develop new products for the Celia store. Every night, he not only had to go out at night to practice spells, but also browsed the books in the restricted area.
From time to time, I have to go to Hestia, see her and the little unicorn, and bring them some food.
Time management is already stretched.
It’s another Tuesday night.
Wayne came to Snape's office as usual.
The difference is that this time it was not Snape who specified the potion, but Wayne himself.
"You want to brew an intelligence enhancer?"
Snape frowned. It wasn't that Wayne wasn't up to par.
With him as a master of potions, combined with Wayne's own talent and abnormal memory, Wayne's potion skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
Even if it is an intelligence enhancer, it is no problem.
What troubled Snape was the materials for refining the intelligence enhancer.
Scarab beetle, ginger root, and armadillo bile are three common ingredients, but he is reluctant to take out the other Acromantula venom and rune snake skin.
Both materials were very precious, and he didn't have much on hand.
"Professor, I have rune snake skin and Acromantula 5.3 venom here." Wayne took out the two materials.
Snape's eyes widened when he saw a gallon of Acromantula venom.
"Lawrence, where did you get so much venom?"
"And this snake skin, it's at least fifty years old!"
"Bought from Diagon Alley, Professor." Wayne smiled brightly.
The rune snake skins were sponsored by the centaurs, and there were more than a dozen of them. To make a pot of intelligence-enhancing agent, all that was needed was a small section of a whole snake skin.
Snape gave him a damn look.
He has established cooperation with the pharmacies in Diagon Alley. Once precious materials arrive at the store, he will definitely be notified in advance.
Snape was too lazy to listen to Wayne's nonsense and asked directly: "Sell it?"
Snapped!
Wayne slapped a gold brick on the table and raised his eyebrows:
"Do you think I'm short of money?"
Wayne and Snape had a strange relationship. They were teacher and student, and Snape even tutored him individually.
But I also want to trick the other party.
He would never let go of the opportunity to see Snape deflated.
"Hmph! A waste of materials!" Snape gritted his teeth, but still prepared the recipe for the intelligence enhancer.
A high-level potion like this cannot be brewed in two hours.
When Wayne arrived, he left the cauldron in Snape's office and went out.
Looking at the steaming golden liquid, Snape felt itchy in his heart.
Why does this guy have so many good things in his hands?
The next day.
Wayne crawled out of the warm quilt with difficulty. The weather was getting more and more awkward. Maybe it would snow soon.
As usual, he woke up his two roommates, washed himself, and then went to the auditorium to eat.
When he came to the auditorium, his steps were a pause.
The entire auditorium was filled with the aroma of pumpkins, and the topics discussed by the little wizards all showed.
Halloween is coming. .
