Ancient Wizards Return to Hogwarts

Chapter 247 Ravenclaw's Crazy Hint

Les twisted his buttocks and changed to a more comfortable position to ensure that his waist would not be hurt too much by the tree branches.

"Hey, I can't see here!" However, when Les changed his position, the wide wizard robe covered the crystal ball, which triggered the protest of Ravenclaw.

"Okay, okay, can you see it now?" Les followed suit and fixed the crystal ball on the tree trunk to ensure that the Ravenclaw in the dungeon could get a wide enough view.

"That's about right... Eh? That necklace was given to that child by you, right? The spell attached to it is quite powerful."

"It's almost as powerful as the wind blade you casually use, right?"

"There's really no need to compare with me." The voice of Ravenclaw came from the crystal ball: "To be able to make magic props of this level, Salazar, you obviously put a lot of effort in this!"

Les smiled and said nothing.

"Daphne should have solved the puzzle in the booklet I gave her, right? It's been so long since she got it. If she didn't study it carefully, Salazar, you have to urge her more."

Les: ...

He knew it! Ravenclaw is plotting against him. Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid this.

He hummed twice, and then naturally continued the previous topic: "You don't seem to have equipped Granger with a magic prop for self-defense? Indeed, your conditions are limited, and it is not convenient to send out the finished products. Otherwise, let me make a magic prop for her to use for self-defense?"

"Thank you so much." Ravenclaw's tone was calm, as if he had expected it.

"Oh?" Les' attention was attracted by the children's new movements: "Daphne finally found the weakness of the spiders."

"Fire, a smart choice." Ravenclaw was also quite sure of Daphne's quick wit on the spot.

If she continued to fight the Acromanthus with spells like a fool, she would have to start thinking about how to end this test decently.

"What kind of animal is this? I've never seen it before." The Acromanthus, a magical animal, aroused Ravenclaw's interest.

"A new species developed by wizards." Les briefly introduced the Acromanthus, a dangerous and precious magical animal, to Ravenclaw.

"It looks like it suits your taste." After knowing that the venom of the Acromanthus is an extremely valuable potion raw material, Ravenclaw smiled knowingly.

"This creature seems to be restrained by the Basilisk?" Ravenclaw discovered another weakness of the Acromanthus.

"That's right, the vision without blind spots brings so many benefits, and naturally it also has to bear a little burden." If Daphne knew Parseltongue and went to the secret room to call the Basilisk out, then the Acromanthus on the ground would not be enough for the Basilisk to kill. However, this only exists at the level of "if". Without Les' authorization, the Basilisk will not obey Daphne's orders.

While the two were chatting, the eight-eyed giant spiders began to call out Aragog's name.

"It seems that the spiders are going to do something again?"

"Oh?"

...

"Stop for a moment." Daphne stretched out her hand to stop Hermione and asked her not to set the spider nest on fire. The behavior of the eight-eyed giant spiders made her a little curious, and she wanted to figure out what they were going to do.

Soon her doubts were answered: a spider that was almost as big as an Asian elephant emerged from the center of the huge spider web in the middle of the depression.

It moved very slowly, and the hair on its body and legs was not black like other eight-eyed giant spiders, but gray-black. Each eye on its terrifying head was covered with a layer of white film, and it was obvious that it could no longer see.

"What's going on? I heard the wailing of my descendants, smelled the smell of blood and flesh, and felt the breath of magic - tell me, what happened?"

It can actually speak!!! Hermione and the other two were stunned. They had been dealing with the Acromanthus for so long, but it was the first time they knew that the Acromanthus could speak human language.

At this time, Harry also fell from the sky and landed beside Astoria.

"It's really spectacular." He sighed first, then looked at Daphne, wanting to hear what she was going to do next.

"Let's see what the big spider wants to do first." Daphne's idea was to stay put for the time being, anyway, they were in the upper hand now.

After Aragog spoke, the gathered Acromanthus made a commotion, and then a large spider answered Aragog's question: "People, several people, attacked us!"

"People?" Aragog looked up blankly: "Is it Hagrid? He won't attack us."

"No, it's a stranger who suddenly appeared, killed several of his kind, and set a circle of fire outside his home!" When the Acromanthus spoke, the big claws kept opening and closing, making a constant clicking sound. As the tone became increasingly intense, the speed of the claws opening and closing also increased, and the clicking sound became more rapid.

Aragog breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the human who attacked them was not Hagrid - if it was Hagrid who came to slaughter its offspring, it would be extremely difficult for it.

If it was not Hagrid, it would be easy.

Just as Aragog was about to order the intruders to be torn to pieces, he heard the word "fire" from his offspring.

"Fire? Tell me more." Aragog became serious. He knew what his nest feared most.

The spiders told Aragog about their current situation.

Aragog fell silent. After a moment, he slowly said, "Take me to see those people."

After saying this, the spiders around him became restless again. They were worried and thought that Aragog was taking too much risk.

But Aragog had a very high prestige in the Acromanthus tribe, and no spider could change his decision. So a few minutes later, surrounded by many offspring, Aragog walked with heavy steps to the edge of the depression.

After arriving here, even though he had lost his vision, Aragog could still feel the presence of fire from the heat wave that was coming towards him.

"Outsider, why did you attack my offspring? Why did you set our home on fire? We have kept our promise all these years, never left the Forbidden Forest, and never harmed humans." Amid the clattering sound of its claws, Aragog asked angrily.

However, although its tone was hard, its attitude was very humble, completely standing from the perspective of the victim, and it was the one who was right, which made Daphne and the other three stunned.

Hermione tried to avoid looking directly at Aragog's terrifying face, and stood up and said with courage: "There is an evil monster hidden in your nest."

"That's right." Daphne added on the side, telling Aragog the existence of the black fog.

Aragog was silent.
