"Temple, starlight …" Elwyn wanted to ask more about those things, but he was interrupted by Firenze.
"I don't think it's appropriate to continue discussing this matter now. There are more urgent things waiting for us to do." Firenze looked worriedly at the fire in the distance. From time to time, there was the sound of the eight-eyed spiders clattering in the bushes. He said softly, "Elwyn, you just mentioned Peter. If I remember correctly, he should be dead?"
"He's not dead. It's all a conspiracy," Elwyn hurriedly told him what happened twelve years ago and in the castle just now.
Firenze listened quietly, and there was not even much surprise on his face.
Firenze seemed to believe what Elwyn said about the surprising truth of Jaime Potter, Peter, and Sirius Black in an instant, as if he had known the truth all along.
"So, everything was done by Peter, and Sirius was just wronged," Elwyn said hurriedly. "We must catch him and not let him escape. This is very crucial, and it concerns the fate of many people. "
"Everyone's fate has long been decided, such as Peter. The omen from the sky told me about this unfortunate thing as early as twenty years ago." Firenze took a light step forward. "I have reminded Jaime and Sirius, but they did not believe me."
The omen from the sky, and it was twenty years ago?!
It was not that Elwyn did not want to believe Firenze, and he did not know if Firenze could really see something in the future, but Firenze looked like Professor Trelawney, who had not really entered the state of prophecy.
"Where is Peter Pettigrew now?"
"He should be near Aragok's lair. He's severely injured, but he'll be here soon. Many eight-eyed spiders are chasing after him." Elwyn came back to his senses, pointed to the front and continued, "Let's go in that direction. There's an open space. He'll pass by there in about half an hour."
"Time is running out!" Firenze did not ask how Elwyn knew about this. He bent his front leg and lowered his body. "We have to hurry. You can sit on it. It will be faster."
As Firenze spoke, he let Elwyn climb onto his back.
Elwyn had never had such an experience. Riding a centaur felt similar to riding a horse, but there was a slight difference. He did not even feel the slightest jolt. Firenze was like an agile reindeer, moving at an extremely fast speed through the forest. The two of them took less than five minutes to reach the place where Elwyn sat in Mr. Weasley's old car.
The dark forest was quiet. What was happening in Aragok's lair seemed to have nothing to do with this place. Through the sparse trees, they could see the bright starry sky.
"Alright, we'll wait here. Thank you for helping me, Firenze!" Elwyn slid down from his back. "I just met Ronan and Ben. The two of them refused to help me."
"That's not surprising. Centaurs usually don't help humans. We can't go against the will of heaven. If the orbit of the planet foretold your death, then even if you died beside them, they would not help you. "
"But you helped me. You're different from other centaurs."
"Everyone has a different understanding of the omens from the planet. Their methods are different as well. I've said before, if necessary, I will stand on the side of the humans. " Firenze raised his head to look at the sky. "I have to admit, I'm an anomaly in my race."
The atmosphere turned silent. Neither of them said anything.
In the darkness, Elwyn thought of the item preserved in the centaur tribe.
That magical item that was said to possess great power. The key to the secret treasure left behind by Gryffindor.
"Firenze, if I want to obtain the item preserved in your tribe, what should I do?" Elwyn suddenly asked. "I've heard that you need to obtain the recognition of the centaurs. What are the details?"
"For those chosen by fate, the planet will give you a clear omen. The elders will give you a specific request. They want you to do something for us." Firenze replied softly. He was still looking at the sky.
"An omen from the planet?"
Elwyn was a bit speechless. Another omen from the planet.
In order to obtain recognition, the centaurs would give specific requests. He could understand this point. It was fine as long as he could complete those requests.
But what did the omen from the planet refer to?
He couldn't see the connection between his fate and the planet. These mysterious and abstruse things really gave him a headache.
Firenze didn't answer Elwyn's question. He pointed at the brightest star in the sky and calmly said, "Mars is abnormally bright tonight."
"I know. Luo Nan and Ben just talked about it. What does this represent?" Elwyn sighed. Why were all centaurs like this? He originally thought that Firenze would be a bit more normal. But now it seemed that there was a limit to how normal he could be.
"This is a type of omen." Firenze said simply. "It represents an omen of calamity. It's the worst omen. Your appearance here tonight isn't a coincidence. Elwyn, perhaps you're the one chosen by fate. But I must warn you. "
Elwyn didn't say anything. He waited for Firenze to continue.
"It doesn't matter what your goal is. You want to obtain that powerful magical item." Firenze lowered his head to look at Elwyn. His sapphire eyes sparkled under the night sky. "But I must warn you. That item is completely different from what you imagine it to be."
"Completely different?!"
Elwyn did have a few conjectures regarding Gryffindor's secret treasure key. But Firenze said that it was completely different from what he imagined it to be. Why did he say that? He didn't even listen to his own conjectures. How could he dare make such a conclusion?
"That's right. It's completely different! In fact, it isn't even complete. It split apart from the centaurs. We didn't fulfill our original oath. The elders of the tribe have been worried about this matter for centuries. "
"What did you say? It's not complete?" Elwyn was stunned for a moment.
"This is an extremely long story. It's a dark history regarding the centaurs."
Firenze turned around and avoided answering Elwyn's question.
He only vaguely said that the secret treasure key left behind by Gryffindor had split apart due to the centaur tribe's internal division. He clearly didn't want to explain the reason in detail.
