"Why are you giving me the horn of the poisonous beast?" Luo Fu asked in surprise.
"It's the crooked-horned beast." Luna retorted with a serious expression, "The horn of the crooked-horned beast will bring you luck. You must take it."
"... I think we should not use it." Luo Fu's mouth twitched, "I suggest you don't carry this thing with you. It will explode if it is stimulated."
"You will definitely need it." Luna still held up the horn of the venison in her hand very firmly.
"Okay, I'll keep it for you, so that you don't accidentally let it explode and hurt you..."
Unable to bear Luna's insistence, Rolf took the horn of the venison from her hand and put it in his pocket.
Then, a little wizard who had always been brave and a little wizard who had always had abnormal thinking went towards the place where the sound came from deep in the forbidden forest.
In the dark forbidden forest, there was an area that was sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and from time to time there were the roars of wild beasts and the cries of painful animals.
Hearing these obviously abnormal animal sounds, Rolf's face suddenly changed, and he pulled Luna and ran forward faster.
When he approached the area where the sound came from, he slowed down his pace and carefully hid behind a thick tree trunk.
"Keep your voice down, I'll see what's going on in there."
Rolf made a gesture to Luna to keep quiet, and Luna nodded, her attention vaguely drifting to the ants crawling under the tree trunk.
The spell light that came from time to time continued to flash, and the painful cries of animals were intermittent. Rove sneaked his head out from behind the tree trunk and looked towards the place where the light came from.
I saw a wizard in a black robe and a hood standing in the middle of the woods, waving his wand casually without saying a word. From time to time, a spell of light shot out from the tip of the wand.
Many magical animals of different kinds lay weakly on the ground, their bodies tied up. They whimpered in pain from time to time, their limbs twitching unconsciously occasionally, but they were unable to break free from the strong ropes on their bodies.
The black-robed wizard was still waving his wand.
His strength was obviously very strong. Every time he waved his wand, a powerful silent spell would be fired out, and basically every time he could knock a huge magical animal to the ground.
However, even though the ground was already filled with all kinds of magical animals, there were still many animals that were unaware and rushed towards the black-robed wizard like a possessed person.
"Damn it, someone is hunting magical animals in the Forbidden Forest!" Rolf pulled his head back from the tree trunk and said to Luna indignantly, "He is using bait spices and lure magic to attract magical animals, and then knocking them out one by one!"
"Do you want to stop him?" Luna looked at Rove curiously with her bulging eyes. "This is very likely a powerful adult dark wizard."
"I know." Rolf said solemnly, "But as the greatest magizoologist in the future wizarding world, I certainly can't let magical animals be killed in front of me."
He stood up and whispered to Luna, "I will go deal with the black-robed wizard in a while. You stay behind this tree trunk and don't get discovered."
Luna nodded vaguely.
Luo Fu looked at her expression and felt a little uneasy... He had no idea what this little witch with an unusual way of thinking was thinking.
At this moment, Luna suddenly seemed to remember something and said expectantly:
"Remember to bring the horn of the crooked-horned beast. It will help you!"
Luo Fu's expression froze for a moment, but he finally nodded helplessly.
He no longer had the mood to worry about what Luna might do. He turned around silently and looked at the black-robed wizard who was still casting spells to harm magical creatures.
Rove knew that as a young wizard, it was impossible for him to defeat such a suspected dark wizard who was proficient in silent spellcasting.
Now he didn't bring the various small props his grandfather gave him, so he didn't have many trump cards to use, and there were not many ways to fight.
Fortunately, the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, so we can launch a sneak attack!
Rolf thought for a moment, then took out several herbs from the bag on which he had cast the Traceless Stretching Charm, and skillfully crushed and mixed them together.
As a future magizoologist, he was familiar with this bait spice and naturally knew how to deal with it.
When mixed, the crushed herbs emit a light fragrance that improves the rationality and mental state of animals, which usually offsets the effect of the bait spices.
Then he crawled on the ground, quietly moving back and forth around, untying the ropes on the fallen magical creatures and using recovery potions to heal their injuries.
Because Rolf was too young and had not yet learned to cast spells silently, he could only use potions, which made no sound, to treat the animals. He could not use healing spells, which were obviously more cost-effective and more economical, to treat the animals under the nose of the black-robed wizard.
But the Scamander family didn't actually lack the money for potions, so Rolf didn't care at all.
Newt has raised so many magical animals at home in his life. Basically, each magical animal has its corresponding value. Selling the parts that fall off a few animals can make a wizard family worry-free about food and drink for a lifetime, not to mention that there are at least hundreds of magical animals in a box, if not thousands.
Wizards who keep magical animals are never short of money—
For example, Hagrid, the Hogwarts game keeper, would go to the Forbidden Forest from time to time to take care of the animals living in the forest, and also collect some parts that fell from the animals.
Things like unicorn tail hair cost 10 Galleons a small bag in Diagon Alley, which is not cheap.
But Hagrid could pick up unicorn tail hair anytime and anywhere in the Forbidden Forest, either from naturally fallen unicorns or from hanging on surrounding tree trunks and bushes. So to him, unicorn tail hair was actually a very common thing.
He even made a carpet out of these common things and sat on it casually...
If the relatively simple Hagrid is so rich, then Newt, who has his own "small world" of magical animals, is even richer. Therefore, the Scamander family has never taken money too seriously.
With this mentality, Rolf quickly fed all the recovery potions he carried with him to all the animals that were close to the bushes and suitable for hiding.
The animals quickly recovered and looked curiously at the little one who was trying his best to help them.
With the help of the Scamander family's magical ability to gain the animals' trust, Rolf quickly calmed down the magical animals that wanted to rush forward for revenge, and temporarily let them lie on the ground to prevent them from being discovered by the black-robed wizard.
Unfortunately, the black-robed wizard is not a brainless dark wizard.
He soon discovered that the speed at which the magical creatures were rushing towards him had slowed down significantly, and their eyes, which had been confused by the bait spices, became clear.
Occasionally, some magical creatures still come here, but looking at their clear eyes, they don’t seem to be affected by the spices. In contrast, they may only be partially affected by the seduction magic.
The black-robed wizard frowned secretly, and found that there was a strange fragrance around him... This fragrance seemed to have the effect of calming the mind and calming the emotions.
The bait spice has been cracked!
"Who's around?!" He raised his wand, looked at the bushes around him, and turned around vigilantly.
The black-robed wizard carefully observed the surrounding environment and soon found the messy footprints that Rolf had just left in the bushes.
"Oh?" Looking at the small footprints in the bushes, the black-robed wizard showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, "A little wizard who is still in school?"
He immediately let go of the tension in his heart, slowed down his pace leisurely, and looked at every bush and plant that was hidden enough.
"Come out, little wizard. I won't hurt you." The black-robed wizard smiled in a relaxed tone. "Judging from your footprints, you should be relatively young, right? You are indeed quite good to be able to break the power of the bait spices at this age."
Rove's face was tense as he looked at the black-robed wizard approaching step by step.
He didn't believe the black-robed wizard's words that he would not hurt him. He had captured these magical animals without any sympathy and tied them to the ground cruelly. Rove couldn't believe that such a wizard would be harmless.
However, the black-robed wizard was getting closer and closer.
There was no possibility for Rolf to escape from the bushes where he was hiding, because any slight movement would be clearly seen by the black-robed wizard.
"Stupefy!"
Rolf suddenly jumped out of the bushes where he was and pointed his wand firmly at the black-robed wizard.
However, this carefully prepared stunning spell seemed to be completely ineffective. The black-robed wizard casually moved his wand and sent it flying into the bushes nearby.
But Rolf was not discouraged. After he finished reciting the spell of stunning, he hooked two fingers on his lips and made a strange whistle.
"You are indeed quite interesting, little wizard." The black-robed wizard looked at Rove curiously and asked, "What strange things have you come up with this time?"
But the next moment, the black-robed wizard saw what Rolf was doing—
After hearing Rolf's whistle, countless magical animals seemed to wake up at the same time, quickly broke free from the ropes on their bodies, and pounced straight towards the black-robed wizard.
Countless magical animals ran wildly together, glaring at each other with angry eyes that looked like they wanted revenge, and desperately used their innate abilities to try to inflict more damage on the person who knocked them out.
However, the black-robed wizard didn't know whether he was frightened by the scene or was too confident. He just stared at the densely packed magical animals in front of him without moving.
The animals rushed forward with all their might, and the ground deep in the forbidden forest shook loudly.
At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid, who was sitting in a shed in the distance and quietly eating a rock cake, thought there was an earthquake, so he rushed out of the shed door, wanting to get to the headmaster's office as quickly as possible to inform Dumbledore of the matter.
Of course, he didn't know this was much more serious than an ordinary earthquake...
Rolf looked at the place where the black-robed wizards and the magical beasts were fighting, and at the huge noise and momentum of the animals, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that today's matter was probably resolved.
However, just as the horned beast that was twice as big as the wizard was about to hit the black-robed wizard, a transparent barrier suddenly opened up beside him, blocking the horned beast outside the barrier.
Not only the horned beasts, but all the aggressive magical animals crashed into the transparent barrier.
However, even after withstanding multiple rounds of impact from the magical creatures, the barrier remained as solid as the spell required to cast it.
Instead, the animals were all knocked around in a daze.
Rolf opened his eyes wide and cast a spell at the barrier in disbelief, but it was also bounced back by the barrier.
"Don't waste your energy, little wizard." The black-robed wizard laughed sinisterly, "My spell is not so easy to break."
Rolf gritted his teeth and was about to try a few new spells to see if he could break the barrier.
However, the black-robed wizard was one step ahead of him and disarmed Rolf in an instant.
"You are still too young, little wizard." He said happily, "Those adult wizards can't break my impenetrable spell, let alone you, a little wizard who is less than third grade?"
"Also, I think I need to tell you that this is not how the Stunning Spell is used."
As he spoke, the black-robed wizard suddenly raised his wand—
"Stupefy!"
As if he was instructing Rolf, he recited the spell clearly for the first time.
A spell with a faint red light shot out from the tip of the black-robed wizard's wand and instantly hit Rolf.
Rolf fell heavily to the ground...
"It did cause me quite a bit of trouble, but he is still just a weak little wizard after all!"
The black-robed wizard glanced at Rove casually, shook his head, and continued to deal with the magical creatures that had awakened around the protective barrier.
…
However, Rove did not faint completely.
The black-robed wizard's stunning spell hit the bulging Winged Demon in Rolf's pocket, but did not actually hit Rolf himself.
The outer skin of the Winged Demon has the ability to resist spells, especially when it is curled up, the effect of resisting magic is quite strong and it does not suffer any harm.
Rolf secretly took the curled-winged demon out of his pocket.
Looking at the animal curled up into a cocoon in front of him, his complexion improved a little, but still looked a little ugly.
It seems that he really has no other way to defeat this black-robed wizard who hurts magical animals...
Rolf raised his head slightly and vaguely saw Luna's head poking out from behind a tree trunk in the distance, revealing her messy, dirty golden hair.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he took out the crescent-horned beast horn that Luna told him would bring good luck from his other pocket.
It seems that there is not no way to defeat the black-robed wizard
