On the way back, everyone seemed to accept this fact.

Elwyn, Harry, Ron and Hermione were still worried about the centaur's request. Sirius was extremely dissatisfied with Margaery's attitude, his face showing extreme disdain.

"The centaurs are a bunch of horrid old mules, aren't they?" he complained, rounding a patch of nettles. "They're too stubborn to look down on human wizards."

"Other than stubbornness, they must be crazy to make such a request. They want us to weaken the power of the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider!" Ron said breathlessly, "Why didn't they think about it? How could we four twelve or thirteen-year-old wizards defeat an eight-eyed spider?!"

No one spoke. No one knew how to answer Ron.

"Think about it, digging out the spider's eyes and bringing them to them. That's crazy!" Ron continued, his voice trembling.

He never had any resistance against spiders, and the expression on his face was one of extreme horror.

"The question now is not whether we can, but what should we do?" said Hermione, flustered. "Firenze said that we can only choose to accept or refuse."

"That's right. If we want to obtain the magical item that Gryffindor left behind that can enhance our Mana, we have to do this. There's no other choice!" Ron fiercely snapped the tree branch in front of him. "Damn it, Gryffindor must have been muddle-headed at that time to seek help from the centaurs."

"According to Firenze's intentions, the centaur doesn't require us to kill or exterminate how many eight-eyed spiders, but to display sufficient courage and sincerity." Hermione analyzed, "This must be a hint that things might not be as difficult as we think."

"The way I see it, it's all the same." Ron wrinkled his nose and drawled, "No matter what, we have to fight those monsters and kill them. Oh, a giant spider with eight eyes. I'm going to have nightmares tonight! "

There was another period of silence. Everyone had a bad feeling.

The terrifying appearance of the eight-eyed spiders appeared in Elwyn's mind again. The eight pitch-black eyes on top of their heads were filled with malice, the hairy spider legs, and the huge pincers that made loud clicking sounds from time to time.

Aside from its disgusting appearance and its reluctance to approach, Elwyn was not that afraid of the giant eight-eyed spider.

In terms of combat strength, he was now completely superior to these monsters.

The question now was, what could be done to satisfy the centaur?

This scale was very difficult to grasp. Elwyn was even considering the possibility of entering Aragok's lair again and killing the Eight-eyed Spider King.

Although it was dangerous, if the plan was right, it was not impossible!

Elwyn wasn't sure if he should do that. He looked up at Sirius to see what he thought.

Sirius didn't say anything. The arrogant and disdainful expression on his face was no different from usual. Noticing Elwyn's gaze, he smiled slightly, as though he wanted to express his opinion after everyone had made their decision.

Just like that, the five of them walked forward in silence. The Forbidden Forest late at night was especially eerie. A few unknown giant creatures flew over their heads, making terrifying noises. However, the invisible pressure of the eight-eyed spiders was even more terrifying than the surrounding darkness.

"Elwyn, you said before that after you entered the Forbidden Forest in pursuit of Dwarf Peter, you encountered the eight-eyed spiders and fought them." Harry suddenly said, his voice sounding strange in the darkness. "How strong are they?"

"It's very dangerous. It's best not to provoke them." Elwyn told the truth. "The eight-eyed spiders' attack power is very strong. Their sharp pincers are extremely poisonous, and their huge bite force can bite a person in half. The most dangerous thing is their numbers. You know, the last time I saw at least a few hundred eight-eyed spiders. "

Hearing Elwyn's description, Ron's face immediately turned pale.

"There are too many of them. We can't fight them head-on. We need to think of a way." Hermione said softly. "Elwyn, do the eight-eyed spiders have any weaknesses?"

"Their attack style is relatively simple. Only their large pincers can attack, but they don't have any long-range attack abilities." Elwyn continued. "Their defense is also relatively weak. Normal attack spells can cause damage to them. I think Petrification Spell or Barrier Spell are both good choices."

"Weak defense and simple attack style." Hermione said uncertainly. "If that's the case, as long as we don't get caught by them, it's not impossible to defeat them."

"Heavens, Hermione, you're not really intending to battle with those eight-eyed spiders right!" Ron made a fuss. "The centaur only requested to bring the spider's eyes to them. I've thought about it, we don't even need to do it ourselves. We can ask Sirius or the other professors."

Harry and Hermione looked hesitant. Ron's idea was indeed not bad.

"Sirius, you will help us right?" Ron asked expectantly.

"That's right!" Sirius nodded his head. "I once promised Elwyn that I will help him obtain the centaur's recognition. As long as you need me, I will help you deal with those eight-eyed spiders. Is this your final decision?"

His eyes slid slowly across the room until they came to rest on Harry.

"No, Sirius!" Harry shook his head and said hesitantly. "I don't need your help, I think we need to do it ourselves."

"Harry!" Ron hurriedly shouted, his face filled with shock and panic.

"You know, Ron!" Harry's voice became more resolute. "We need to do it ourselves. Don't forget Firenze's words. The centaur's request is not for us to exterminate the eight-eyed spiders, but to see our courage and sincerity."

"But ….." Ron unwillingly opened his mouth but did not know what to say.

He turned to look at Elwyn and Hermione, hoping to obtain their support. Harry's decision was too risky no matter how he looked at it, it was extremely irrational.

Elwyn and Hermione did not say anything. They both took a step towards Harry, expressing their stance.

Seeing his friends' decision, Ron stood there hesitating, his expression rapidly changed. Finally he could not help but sigh and walk over.

"Very good, Harry, you did not disappoint me!" Sirius silently looked at everything, he smiled happily and said. "Facing danger, not everyone has the courage to face it head on, that is the hardest to come by."

"I was just speaking my mind, I did not think too much about it." Harry embarrassedly said.

"I know, in other people's eyes, your decision today may be very dangerous and irrational. But I must say, your father and I are proud of you." Sirius slowly said. "Harry, Elwyn, Ron and Hermione, I hope the four of you can remember, Gryffindor's most rare quality is his unparalleled courage. Even if he knows of the dangers, for the sake of his heart's perseverance and conviction, he is still able to persevere and face the difficulties with courage. Unscrupulous means to achieve his own goals, that is Slytherin's way. "

Hearing his words, Harry, Ron and Hermione were extremely excited.

Especially Harry, his face flashed with an eager expression, as though he could not wait to find the eight-eyed spiders and have a great battle.

Although he did not completely agree with Sirius's words, Elwyn could not help but admire him.
