Everyone discussed about the merfolk for a while, Elwyn asked for some details.
Then, the topic returned back to the centaurs, Hermione kept muttering about the things to pay attention to when interacting with the centaurs.
"I don't really care about interacting with the centaurs." Ron wrinkled his nose, throwing a stone into the stream, he said impatiently, "What do we have to do to obtain their treasured magic item that can raise one's magic power?"
This was the crux of this trip, the crux of changing his fate.
Ron had been thinking about this matter along the way, he wanted to obtain that item, but he did not want others to see that he was being too deliberate.
"What I mean is, we all know that we have to obtain the centaur's recognition." Seeing everyone looking at him, Ron tried to make himself look more natural, "The problem now is, after obtaining the centaur's recognition, what do we do? That final test …"
He heard Sirius say before, to obtain that item, they need to pass the final test. He wanted to know what the test was, so that he could be prepared.
"In the temple that is protecting that item, there is an illusion magic set up, only by passing the test of that magic can we obtain that item." Sirius said slowly, "That magic is very powerful, everyone sees different things, I do not know what we need to do, for example, back then I saw …"
He suddenly stopped, looking at the forest cautiously, using his fastest speed he raised his magic wand.
"Careful." He said in a low voice, indicating for everyone to be quiet.
His magic wand pointed at the dense forest in front, gathering all the magic in his body, the tip of the wand emitting a faint glow.
Elwyn and the rest also hurriedly pulled out their wands. No one said anything, everyone could hear the movement from the forest, something was approaching.
The next second, bang!
At the same time Sirius's magic wand emitted a red glow, a sharp arrow flew over from afar, landing on the tree trunk above their heads, making a clanging sound.
Hermione let out a low scream, and Elwyn hurriedly shielded her behind him.
Sirius's expression was solemn, while Harry and Ron's faces were pale. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and a battle was about to break out at any moment. However, the other side did not attack again.
"Who are you?" A deep male voice came from the bushes.
In the blink of an eye, a man floated towards them through the mottled green light.
Under the bright moonlight, Elwyn saw that it was a centaur, his waist was smooth and naturally connected to the reddish-brown horse body.
He had a proud face with high cheekbones and long black hair.
"Hmph, humans." The centaur's arrogant tone carried a trace of contempt, "Leave our Forbidden Forest, this is not a place you should be in …"
"Long time no see, Margaery …" Sirius seemed to recognize the other party, but his tone was not very happy.
"You are … Sirius Black …" Margaery was stunned for a moment, he stared at Sirius for a long time, as if he recognized who he was.
Rustling sounds came from the forest behind the centaur, and another four or five centaurs appeared one after another.
Elwyn saw the black body, bearded Bane, he had met him a month ago, but Bane pretended that he had never seen Elwyn and Harry before.
"Blake …" Margaery said cautiously, he did not put away his bow and arrow, still pointing at them. "Why have you returned to our Forbidden Forest?"
"I brought these children here, hoping to obtain the item passed down by Gryffindor himself that your tribe is looking after." Sirius said loudly, "They hope to obtain your recognition, and attempt to challenge that final test."
"Obtain our recognition …" Margaery's gaze left Sirius, and suspiciously sized up Elwyn and the other three.
"This is Elwyn Mason and Hermione Granger." Sirius introduced, "The red haired boy at the back is Ron Weasley, beside him is Harry Potter."
"Harry Potter."
Hearing Harry's name, the centaurs discussed softly for a while.
Their gazes were all focused on Harry, filled with curiosity and amazement. From the looks of it, they seemed to be looking for the scar on his forehead, the proof of his victory over Lord Voldemort.
Harry took a step back, and uneasily pulled down his hair.
"Only friends who are worthy of respect and trust, can obtain the friendship of centaurs." Margaery said disdainfully, "This is not something to joke about, Blake and the other three are too young, they are still foals, I think they do not meet the requirements. Before we kill you, you should bring them away from here as soon as possible."
"Margaery, I know your rules." Sirius did not retreat, and said tit for tat, "According to the ancient agreement between your ancestors and the castle's founder, you do not have the right to refuse …"
"We are not human slaves, we have no obligation to look after your items for you. When you need it, you can come and take it away." Margaery said fiercely, "Blake, bring these four foals away from here, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite."
"You do not have the right to stop us." Sirius once again raised his wand, frowning as he said, "You are still as stubborn as before, Margaery, if you wish to fight again like twenty years ago, I will accompany you anytime."
The two glared angrily at each other, as though something had happened between them.
Harry, Ron and Hermione looked very afraid, they tried their best to stop Sirius from rushing over, hoping that he would calm down. They did not come here to fight with the centaurs, but to obtain their recognition.
While stopping Sirius, Elwyn was sizing up the centaurs, looking for their weaknesses. Once a battle breaks out, he would be able to act quickly.
Although the centaurs were not proficient in magic, their battle strength was very strong.
Without using black magic, Elwyn did not have absolute confidence in defeating them.
"Calm down, Margaery." Just as the situation was about to go out of control, Ben suddenly walked out and said gently, "Slaughtering the foals is a terrible crime."
He walked to Margaery's side and said something in a low voice.
Elwyn saw that he seemed to point at him, then Margaery raised his head and looked at him in shock. He seemed to have been convinced by Ben, waving his hand, a young centaur with a black body turned around and left, running into the depths of the forbidden forest.
"Whether or not you fulfill the conditions, we need the elders to judge." Ben raised his head and said loudly, then he retreated back into the centaurs.
No one moved, no one spoke.
The air was filled with nervousness and unease, everyone was waiting for the centaur elders to arrive.
