Chapter 165: Asst. Coach Riddle got a sneak attack?
"... I think it's better not to use it." The corner of Rolf's mouth twitched, "This is something I suggest you'd better not carry on your body, it's going to explode when it gets irritated."
"You'll definitely need it." Luna was still very determined, holding up the poison horn in her hand.
"Well, it's good for me to keep it for you, so that I don't accidentally let it explode and hurt you ..."
Unable to resist Luna's insistence, Rolf took the Poison Horn Beast Horn in her hand and put it in his pocket.
Afterwards, a small sorcerer who had always been bold and a small sorcerer whose brain circuits had always been abnormal walked together towards the place where the sound came from deep in the Forbidden Forest.
In the gloomy Forbidden Forest, there was an area that was bright and dark at times, and from time to time, the hissing of wild beasts and the chirping of animals in pain were heard.
Hearing these animal sounds that were clearly not normal, Rolf's face instantly changed, pulling Luna to speed up and run towards the front.
Only when he was close to the area where the sounds were coming from did he slow down his pace and carefully hid behind a thick tree trunk.
"Keep it down, I'll see what's going on in there."
Rolf gave a silencing gesture to Luna, who nodded, her attention drifting off to the ants crawling underneath the tree trunk.
The glow of the magic spell that came from time to time continued to flicker, and as the animals hissed in pain if anything, Rolf peeked out from behind the trunk to see where the glow was coming from.
Only to see a wizard in black robes and a hood standing in the middle of the forest, waving his wand with casual movements, not uttering a word out of his mouth, and every now and then the light of a magic spell shot out from the tip of the wand.
Many different kinds of magical animals were weakly lying on the ground, bound all over their bodies, their mouths occasionally emitting painful whimpering sounds, their limbs occasionally involuntarily twitching a few times, but they simply couldn't break the firm ropes on their bodies.
That black-robed wizard was still waving his wand.
He was obviously very strong, and with every wave of his wand a powerful silent spell shot out, basically able to knock a large-sized magical creature to the ground every time.
However, even though the ground was already littered with all sorts of magical animals, there were still many more animals that were oblivious to the fact that they were charging towards the black-robed wizard as if they were possessed.
"Damn it, someone is hunting the magical animals of the Forbidden Forest!" Rolf withdrew his head from beyond the trunk of the tree and said to Luna with righteous indignation, "He's using baiting spices and luring magic to attract magical creatures to him, and then one by one, he's knocking the animals out!"
"You want to go stop him?" Luna looked at Rolf curiously with big bulging eyes, "That's probably a grown up powerful dark wizard."
"I know." Rolf said with a stony face, "But as the greatest magical zoologist of the future of magic, I certainly can't allow magical creatures to be hunted and killed in front of me."
He stood up and whispered to Luna, "In a moment, I'm going to take care of this black-robed wizard, so stay behind this tree trunk and don't get caught."
Luna nodded with a fluttering expression.
Rolf looked at her expression and always felt that he was still a little uneasy ... He simply didn't know what this little witch with unusual brain circuits was thinking.
Just then, Luna suddenly looked as if she had remembered something and said with an expectant expression:
"Remember to bring the horn of the Bent Horn Sound Beast, it will help you!"
Rolf's expression froze for a moment, and he finally nodded helplessly.
He didn't have the heart to worry about what Luna had done anymore, and in silence, he turned around to look at the black-robed wizard who was still continuously casting spells to harm the magical animals.
Rolf knew that it was obviously impossible for him, as an overly young young wizard, to defeat such a being who was able to skillfully use silent spell casting and suspected dark wizardry head on.
Now that he also didn't bring along the various small props that his grandfather had handed him, there weren't many cards that he could use, and there weren't many methods that he could use to fight.
Fortunately, it was still the enemy's light and our darkness, so he could engage in a sneak attack!
After thinking about it, Rolf pulled out several herbs from the bag he had imposed the Traceless Stretching Spell on, skillfully crumbling and mixing them together.
As a future magical zoologist, he was familiar with this kind of decoy spice and naturally knew what to use to fix it.
When mixed, these herbs that Rolf had kneaded were able to emit a tantalizingly clear scent that increased the rationality and mental state of the animals, usually counteracting the effects of the decoy spice.
He then crept to the ground and quietly moved back and forth around the area, untangling the ropes from the magical animals that had fallen and restoring the injuries they had sustained with a restorative potion.
Because Rolf was too young to have learned to cast spells silently, he could only use items like potions that didn't make any sound to heal the animals, and couldn't use obviously more cost-effective and less expensive magic like healing spells to do so under the watchful eyes of the black-robed wizard.
But the Scamander's weren't really that bad at paying for magic potions, so Rolf didn't care at all.
Newt has raised so many magical animals at home in his life, basically each magical animal has its corresponding value, casually sell a few parts that fall off the animals can let a wizard family eat and drink for a lifetime, not to mention the entire box of magical animals not thousands of also have a few hundred.
Wizards who bred magical animals were not much short of money-
For example, Hogwarts hunting grounds keeper Hagrid, from time to time he would go to the forbidden forest to take care of the animals living in the forest, and also collect some parts that fell off the animals.
Like unicorn tail hair, the market price in Diagon Alley is 10 Galleons for a small bag, which can be said to be not cheap.
However, Hagrid was able to pick up unicorn tail hairs in the Forbidden Forest whenever and wherever they fell naturally, or hung on the trunks of the surrounding trees and shrubs, so for him, unicorn tail hairs were instead something that was rotten to the core.
He even used these for him rotten street things weave a carpet, casually placed under the buttocks to sit ...
Even the relatively simple Hagrid was so rich, not to mention Newt, who had a "small world" of magical animals, so the Scamander family never took money too seriously.
In such a state of mind, Rolf quickly fed all the recovery potions he had with him to all the animals that were close to the bushes and suitable for hiding.
The animals quickly recovered and looked curiously at the little imps who were doing their best to help them.
With the Skarmander's very magical ability to make animals trust, Rolf quickly calmed the magical animals' desire to rush up and take revenge, and for the time being kept them on the ground to prevent the black-robed sorcerer from finding out what was going on.
Unfortunately, however, the black-robed wizard wasn't exactly a brainless black wizard.
He soon realized that the speed at which the magical animals were sprinting this way had obviously slowed down a lot, and their eyes that were mesmerized by the bait spice had also become clear.
Occasionally there were magical animals still rushing this way, but looking at their sober eyes they didn't look like they had been affected by the spice, as opposed to possibly being only partially affected by the baiting magic.
The black-robed sorcerer secretly frowned, noticing a strange fragrance ... permeating the surroundings This fragrance seems to have the ability to tranquilize the mind and calm the emotions.
The decoy spice had been cracked!
"What kind of people are around?!" He raised his wand, his eyes looking to the bushes around himself, and turned in a wide circle warily.
The black-robed wizard took in his surroundings carefully and soon spotted the stray footprints Rolf had just left in the bushes.
"Oh?" Looking at the small footprints in the bushes, a hint of surprise passed through the black-robed sorcerer's eyes, "A young sorcerer who is still in school?"
He instantly let go of the tension in his heart and leisurely slowed his pace, surveying each sufficiently hidden bush and group of plants one by one.
"Come out, little wizard, I won't harm you." The black-robed wizard smiled in an easy tone, "By your footprints, you shouldn't be too old, should you? To be able to decipher the power of the decoy spice at this age, I have to admit that you are indeed quite outstanding."
Rolf looked at the black-robed sorcerer who approached step by step, his face tightening.
He simply did not believe the words from the black-robed sorcerer's mouth that he would not be harmed. All of these magical creatures had been captured by him without the slightest bit of sympathy, and were still cruelly bound to the ground just like that, Rolf just couldn't believe that such a sorcerer could be harmless.
Yet the black-robed wizard was getting closer as well.
Rolf did not have any possibility of escaping from the bushes he was hiding in to run away, because any hint of movement would be clearly shown in the eyes of the black-robed wizard.
"Stupefy (Stupefy)!"
Rolf suddenly jumped out from inside the bush he was in and pointed his wand firmly at the black-robed wizard.
However, the carefully prepared stupefy spell was as if it had no effect at all, and was picked off by the black-robed wizard's casual movement of his wand into a nearby bush.
But Rolf wasn't discouraged either, and after he finished reciting the incantation for the stupor spell, he hooked two fingers over his lips and let out a strange whistle.
"You are indeed quite interesting, little wizard." The black-robed sorcerer looked at Rolf curiously and asked, "What kind of weird stuff have you come up with again?"
However, in the next moment, the black-robed wizard realized what Rolf was doing-
After hearing Rolf's whistle, countless magical animals seemed to wake up at the same time, quickly breaking away from the ropes on their bodies and pouncing straight towards the black-robed wizard.
Countless magical animals ran wildly together, still glaring with vengeful, furious eyes, desperately using their natural abilities, wanting to give the person who knocked them out a little more damage.
However, the black-robed wizard, not knowing whether he was dumbfounded by the scene or overconfident, didn't even move as he looked at the dense mass of magical animals in front of him.
The ground deep in the forbidden forest was shaken as the animals rushed forward.
At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid, who was sitting in a shack quietly munching on a rock pie, thought it was an earthquake and rushed out of the door of the shack, wanting to go to the Headmaster's office as fast as he could to inform Dumbledore of the incident.
Of course, he did not know that this can be much more serious than a normal earthquake ...
Rolf looked at the place where the black-robed wizard and the magical creatures were fighting, and looked at the vast noise and momentum of the animals, and breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that today's matter was probably settled.
However, just as the Horned Camel Beast at the forefront, which was twice the size of the sorcerer, was about to crash into the black-robed sorcerer, a transparent barrier suddenly held up from his side, blocking the Horned Camel Beast from the barrier.
Not only the Horned Beast, but all of the raging magical animals crashed into the transparent barrier.
However, even after taking multiple rounds of the magical animals, the barrier remained solid as gold, just as the spell needed to cast it said.
Instead, the animals crashed into it in droves.
Rolf's eyes widened in disbelief as he cast a spell at the barrier, only to have it bounce back just the same.
"Don't waste your efforts, little wizard." The black-robed wizard laughed eerily, "My magic spell is not so easily broken."
Rolf gritted his teeth and was about to try a few new magic spells and try again to see if he could break that barrier.
However the black-robed wizard was one step ahead of him, disarming the weapon in Rolf's hand in a flash.
"You are too young, young wizard." He said pleasantly, "Those adult wizards couldn't break my Solid Gold spell, let alone you, a mere young wizard of less than third year."
"Also, I think I need to tell you that the stupor spell isn't used like this."
Saying that, the black-robed wizard suddenly raised his wand-
"Stupefy (Stupefy)!"
As if he was instructing Rolf, he recited the spell clearly for the first time.
A magic spell with a faint red light shot out from the tip of the black-robed wizard's wand and instantly struck Rolf.
Rolf fell heavily to the ground ...
"Rather, he caused me quite a bit of trouble, but in the end, he's still a weak little wizard!"
After casually glancing at Rolf, the black-robed wizard shook his head and continued to start dealing with these waking magical animals around the protective barrier.
...
Rolf, however, did not completely pass out.
The black-robed wizard's stupor spell had hit Rolf right where the curled-winged demon bulging in his pocket had been, without actually hitting Rolf.
And the outer epidermis of the curled-winged demon had the ability to resist magic spells, especially when curled up, which was quite effective against magic, and didn't suffer much damage.
Rolf secretly took the Curled Wing Demon out of his pocket.
Looking at the animal curled up into a cocoon in front of him, his face looked a bit better, but still a bit ugly.
There really didn't seem to be any other way for him to defeat this black-robed wizard who was hurting magical animals ...
Rolf raised his head slightly and vaguely saw Luna poking her head out behind a distant tree trunk, revealing messy, dirty blonde hair.
With a fierce light in his eyes, he pulled the curved, hearty beast horn that Luna had told him would bring good luck out of his other pocket.
It seemed like there wasn't exactly no way to defeat the black-robed wizard anymore?
