Chapter 70 Unicorn

"By the way, you'd better keep your voices down now, unfamiliar voices and breaths will make them uneasy, and you must be careful, although unicorns seem docile, they are actually very ferocious.

There were wizards in ancient times who trapped unicorns and put them in enclosures to wrestle lions, and it turned out that its horn could easily go through a lion's heart - a little lion like you, who could kill four at once! "Hagrid issued a warning to Lu Ren and the others.

Then they fell into silence, and the five of them trudged hard on the inaccessible path with one foot deep and one foot shallow, only the moonlight among the branches and the lights in the hands of Hagrid and Harry illuminated them.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Hagrid stopped Lu Ren and the others, "Shh-look!" He gently pushed aside a bunch of branches, and a small open space was exposed to Lu Ren's eyes.

Six or seven unicorns were standing there quietly resting.As described in myths and legends, the unicorn is the embodiment of beauty and a perfect existence.

As recorded by Ctesias, adult unicorns are slightly smaller than horses and about the size of donkeys, with slender limbs and a soft body.Their fur should be the whitest thing in the world, and it even emits a hazy light under the moonlight, giving people a dreamy feeling.

It even makes people feel that if you can touch it, even at the cost of death.Even panda cubs are not as attractive as unicorns.

Hagrid walked out of the woods lightly, and the whole herd of unicorns was startled, but seeing that it was Hagrid, they returned to normal.

At the moment when they woke up, Lu Ren saw countless pairs of lake-blue eyes, which reminded him of Dumbledore. Maybe unicorns can also judge the good and evil in people's hearts through mind reading.

'Wait a moment?Judge good and evil? Lu Ren's brain opened again, "In ancient Chinese myths and legends, there are five animals that can be associated with unicorns. They are Xiezhi, Pixiu, Tianlu, Luduan and Lushu. '

"Tianlu has the lowest level of compulsion, that is, a deer with one horn. It has little to do with unicorns except that it has only one horn on its head.Lushu is a kind of unicorn, it is immune to fire, and it is also the most unicorn-like animal in the Central Plains.Luduan is similar to Qilin. It is said that it can travel [-] miles a day and speak four languages—it is like an airplane with a translation function.

Pixiu is a yellow and black beast in charge of good luck—according to records, Pixiu may be a short-haired beast like a tiger.Xiezhi is a unicorn that can distinguish right from wrong. '

'This unicorn is a bit like a combination of Xiezhi and Lu Duanhe. Lu Ren was thinking as he followed Hagrid slowly approaching the herd of unicorns.

When he got closer, Lu Ren could see the unicorn's horns clearly. Their horns were white at the bottom, black in the middle, and bright red like blood at the top, with complicated patterns.Lu Ren was sure that when such horns pierced into the body, a large mass of flesh and blood could be brought out. Those patterns were like the barbs of arrows and the bloodletting grooves of daggers.

Like a mandala, beautiful and deadly.

After getting closer, Lu Ren and the others couldn't help but be amazed. Such creatures seem to be treasures left behind in the fairyland. Their beauty makes people feel unreal and illusory.

It was a few little yellow dumplings that pulled them back to reality.

Three small yellow dumplings stumbled and appeared in everyone's field of vision.

When they saw Lu Ren and his party, they ran towards them without any precautions.

Lu Ren could tell that these dumplings were unicorn cubs.Their hairs are all pure gold, and they look like a small ball of moving gold when they run over. They are obviously born not long ago, and the horns on the top of their heads still look like small bamboo shoots.

Hagrid said in the slightest voice, "Unicorns are very friendly to humans, so don't betray their trust in you.

In general, as long as you are not malicious, they are still very willing to interact with you-especially unworldly unicorn cubs.By the way, Hermione, you have the advantage too, unicorns are the embodiment of purity, and they tend to be attracted to girls. "

The little unicorns, full of curiosity and desire to explore, had already rushed into the crowd, directly breaking up Lu Ren's formation and causing great harm to the four of them: they were about to be cut to death.

At this time, the Beastmaster of the unicorn herd slowly came over. It blinked, first rubbed Hagrid's arm, and then walked up to Hermione, looking at Hermione with its big blue eyes.

Hermione's heart was full, and she held the hem of the wizard's robe with both hands, and saluted it. The unicorn snorted, lowered its head slightly, and put its horn next to Hermione.

Lu Ren & Harry & Ron: We are not envious at all!We don't know where the lemons on the ground came from!
"Great, this is a good start, it seems that it has a good impression on you." Hagrid's voice also had a sour feeling: he had to feed hundreds of catties of carrots and pumpkins to get this favorability. , Hermione finished it with her face.

What a face-seeing animal!
Sour to sour, the necessary reminder is still to be said. "You can stroke it now, it's best to stroke along its fur, and don't touch its...horns..."

Hagrid's words were half a beat slow, and Hermione had already put her hand on the unicorn's horn, but the scene of the unicorn's fury didn't happen, instead it looked calm and enjoying.

Hagrid: (╯‵ ′)╯︵┴─┴

Don't even think about getting a single carrot from me in the future!

At this time, Lu Ren and the others had already carried the unicorn cub into their arms.

Soft, fluffy, and warm, just like a plush toy.

Lu Ren gently stroked the back of his unicorn, smoothed its messy mane, and flicked off the dirt on the little jiojio.Lu Ren buried his nose into the little unicorn's belly, and what he smelled was the faint fragrance of Sophora japonica.

"I want to raise one!" Lu Ren sighed from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, Fat Tiger, who was resting in the cat bag, suddenly gave a jolt. It stood up vigilantly, and twitched its nose around a few times, but there was no feedback.It got down suspiciously, showing a confused expression.

Time flies, Lu Ren and the others can't live with the unicorn forever, although they really want to.Urged by Hagrid, they reluctantly got up and said goodbye to the unicorn.

Seeing the gradually disappearing unicorn colony, everyone showed obvious reluctance.

"Let's see them again on our next patrol!" Hermione begged Hagrid.

"Okay, okay, next time." Hagrid said next time.

Lu Ren narrowed his eyes, and he thought of something, "Hagrid, unicorns are extremely precious animals, right? If you find any suspicious people in the Forbidden Forest recently, please let me know, I am very grateful .”

He touched the necklace that Grindelwald gave, and there was a gleam in his eyes: "Grindelwald gave me something, let me try it with you first, my dear Professor Quirrell!"
