The young wizards were all discussing the secret chamber, the heir, and the petrified people …
Everyone began to take out the amulets again, including the glasses that Allen had asked Penello to give out.
The sun finally set behind the clouds. Benny carried the letter Allen had sent to Gaia and flew into the dusk that was getting thicker and thicker.
Its figure gradually became blurry and finally disappeared under the dusk clouds around the setting sun. It could no longer be distinguished.
The sky turned red in an instant, and then it turned dark. Venus began to blink in the sky.
In the middle of the night, Allen went to bed as usual. He waited until Edward fell asleep before he got out of bed and put on his clothes again.
After becoming invisible, Allen quickly ran to the forbidden forest.
Passing through the gloomy corridor, it was not a pleasant journey.
Allen had wandered around the castle in the middle of the night several times before, but he had never seen so many people after the sun had set.
The teacher, the prefect, and the ghost were patrolling the corridor in pairs, looking around to see if there were any abnormalities.
Allen had to walk lightly and cautiously to avoid kicking or knocking into something and making a sound.
Murphy's Law was in effect again. When Allen was about to reach the castle gate, he saw Professor Snape patrolling the door with a gloomy face.
How could he smoothly open the heavy oak door without alarming Professor Snape?
Allen stared at Professor Snape attentively, hoping to find an opportunity to distract Professor Snape.
Perhaps because Allen's gaze was too focused, Professor Snape suspiciously walked towards Allen's direction.
Allen quickly retreated, not daring to keep his gaze on Professor Snape.
Professor Snape waved his arms at the place where Allen was just a moment ago, but of course, he did not catch anything.
Professor Snape sneezed loudly and returned to the door again.
Just when Allen was thinking about taking a detour, Professor Dumbledore walked over with a very serious expression.
Behind him was a strange-looking man.
The stranger was short and stout, with a head of messy gray hair and an anxious expression on his face.
His clothes were a strange hodgepodge: a pinstriped suit, a scarlet tie, a long black cloak, and purple pointed boots.
He carried a dark green hat under his arm.
Soon, Allen found out who he was.
"Good evening, Professor Dumbledore! Good evening, Minister Foggy! "Professor Snape showed the courtesy of a gentleman.
"Hello, Professor Snape!" Foggy said in a crisp and quick tone. "It's terrible. I had to come. Four attacks on Muggle are too much. The Ministry of Magic must take action. "
"Regardless, I hope your actions are effective." Professor Snape stepped aside and opened the oak door for them.
Allen's eyes lit up. The moment the door was about to close, he darted out.
Dumbledore and the others were actually going in the same direction as Allen.
But soon, they could separate.
After passing through the pumpkin patch, Allen continued to the forbidden forest, while Professor Dumbledore and Foggy entered Hagrid's cabin.
Before they separated, Allen noticed that Dumbledore glanced in his direction.
Allen hadn't gone far when he heard an argument coming from the cabin. "I hope you understand, Connelly, that I completely trust Hagrid … Taking Hagrid away won't help at all."
"But look, Abusi, Hagrid's criminal record isn't good for him. The Ministry of Magic has to take some measures … "
It seemed that the Ministry of Magic had taken Hagrid as the number one suspect and was going to imprison him in Azkaban!
Allen didn't step forward. If even Dumbledore couldn't keep Hagrid, how could he, an unknown Magus, influence the will of the Ministry of Magic?
When the cruel reality of society was laid bare in front of Allen, Allen suddenly discovered the beauty of power.
Although Allen had never tasted power, a small flame ignited in his heart.
The hills to the north of the Forbidden Forest were shrouded in darkness. Although the bright moon was hanging high in the night sky, it was unable to shine into the Forbidden Forest. The layers of branches completely blocked the moonlight.
"Fluorescent Flicker!" Allen had no choice but to use a fluorescent spell to illuminate the path in front of him.
Seeing the forbidden forest clearly, Allen couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
The ground was full of withered black branches and withered leaves.
Along the way, Allen couldn't count the number of dead birds he saw.
The corpses of these birds were pitch-black, and their outlines were indistinct. Some of the corpses even had traces of being bitten.
However, Allen couldn't tell what kind of animal had left these marks behind.
The deeper Allen went into the forbidden forest, the more he felt that his surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. There were no other sounds, only a deathly silence.
The withered trees in the forbidden forest were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws around Allen, watching him like ghosts.
Allen didn't dare to act rashly. He gripped his magic staff tightly and cautiously advanced towards the unicorn's habitat.
When Allen saw the twinkling stars again, Gaia descended from the sky amidst the faint light.
This caused the forbidden forest to be filled with vitality, and Allen once again felt the aura of life. His heart relaxed.
"Allen, I received your letter and have been waiting for you here." Gaia raised her front hooves, looking very happy.
"Your owl has been poisoned, and with the poisonous gas in the forbidden forest, I'm afraid it will have to rest in our habitat for a while before it can return."
Without waiting for Allen to tell her the purpose of his trip, Gaia blabbered on.
"Benny has been poisoned?" Allen was very worried.
"Don't worry, I've already made it drink water mixed with unicorn horn powder. I have to praise it, it really is a conscientious owl. Even when it's poisoned, it can still endure and deliver the letter to me! "Gaia admired Benny very much.
"How did the forbidden forest become like this?" Allen asked.
"It's all because of that monster! The monster that the humans kept in the castle ran out and wreaked havoc in the forbidden forest! Wherever it goes, all the birds and beasts go extinct! "Gaia said angrily.
"Benny was poisoned because he encountered this monster?" Allen couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's possible, but it's also possible that he came into contact with its residual poison." Gaia guessed.
"I also passed through this poisoned forbidden forest, so why am I safe and sound?" Allen was very surprised.
