Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Zhang Xu and his party soon came to the horse tribe.

The trio of Harry, who had just arrived in your land, looked around curiously at the buildings of the unique centaurs.

Zhang Xu, who has been here many times, found that the atmosphere in the tribe was not right, so he quietly gave himself a favorable ear.

The weather today is actually quite good, and it is already October, and the winter is getting ready. At this time of the year, the horses are all actively preparing for the winter, such as going out to collect supplies like Jiaer, Lili, and Firenze. , or inspect and repair the house.

But today, not only did they only see Jiaer and the others outside the tribe, but there were also fewer horsemen outside the houses in the tribe.If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of beating and grinding coming from many houses.

It was a sound he had heard at Jiaer and Lili's house before, when Mattosh's parents were making arrowheads.

It is not surprising that the horsemen usually make bows and arrows for themselves. The problem is that now more than half of the houses in the tribe are making bows and arrows. There are many reasons behind this.

The bows and arrows made by the horsemen are unique, and they can be used as magic-breaking arrows. The iron armor curse with a lower level can basically be ignored. This is the reason why they have not been eliminated or enslaved by wizards so far.

Zhang Xu walked to Firenze and asked casually, "Why didn't you see everyone repairing the house today?"

Firenze glanced at Zhang Xu and replied, "Everyone has to prepare a lot of bows and arrows recently."

What Firenze said so directly made Zhang Xu uncomfortable.

Horse people will not lie to their friends, but when they answer some questions that cannot be told to outsiders, they will always use their prophecy advantages, and use astrological predictions to fool the other party so that they don't know what they said.

Now Firenze directly told Zhang Xu the military information in the tribe, making Zhang Xu confused all of a sudden.

Zhang Xu wanted to ask again, but Firenze shook his head lightly, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore.

In this way, Zhang Xu could only turn the topic back to the medicinal materials needed for coming here today.

Naturally, the medicinal materials needed this time were not something that Firenze could handle. Zhang Xu told him this, so he naturally asked him to take his party to call the elders of the horse people.

The elders of the horse people can only inherit the position of elders after abandoning their own names, to show the elders' determination to serve the tribe wholeheartedly.

And before the centaur elder of this term became an elder, Zhang Xu had dealt with him several times, and the relationship between them was not bad, so he readily agreed to Zhang Xu's request for Dumbledore's sake , and then asked a horseman who assisted him to look for it in the warehouse according to Zhang Xu's list.

When the previous centaur elder saw Zhang Xu for the last time, he told Zhang Xu the story of the Mir space station.But this time, the new elder kept telling Harry and the others about the reappearing "new planet" at the banquet.

After entering the centaur tribe, Harry's trio followed Zhang Xu's instructions and listened more than talking nonsense, so as not to accidentally annoy the centaur with language.

The centaur elders were very interested in the legendary Harry Potter, so they decided to hold a small banquet to greet Harry and his party.

It is said to be a small banquet, but in fact it is just a meal for the elders of the centaur tribe, some staff and friends of the tribe to welcome Harry Potter.

The trio of Harry, who came to the centaur tribe for the first time, sat at the dining table and talked with the centaur curiously and cautiously, while Zhang Xu found the opportunity.

Will have a conversation with the elders.

"Is everything ready for winter in the tribe this year, Elder?" Zhang Xu asked with concern, "Is the food reserve sufficient?"

Elder Ma Ren stared at Zhang Xu for a long time, and then said: "We have no difficulty in getting through this winter."

"But I saw fruit trees near the tribe that should have been picked at this time in the past, and there are still many fruits hanging on the branches." Zhang Xu said to the elder seriously, "Did the tribe find new food this year?" "

Elder Ma Ren had always admired Zhang Xu's observation ability, but today he felt a little headache about it.Zhang Xu has already noticed that the distribution of labor in the tribe is different from before. It is not easy for the elders to fool Zhang Xu in this regard. After all, he has a lot of friends in the tribe, and some things can be easily found out.Moreover, doing some things is the same thing, and there are many articles that can be written for the purpose of doing these things.

So after Zhang Xu found out about the fact that the horsemen secretly risked insufficient preparations for the winter to organize the army, the elder thought about how to explain this to Dumbledore behind Zhang Xu.After all, the Horde is not far from Hogwarts. If Dumbledore thinks that the centaur are preparing to attack Hogwarts, then they can only cry now.

Immediately afterwards, the elder Ma Ren routinely used the excuse of prophecy to expose the matter, and hinted that Zhang Xu would talk about it after dinner, and Zhang Xu, who got the hint, also changed the topic to other places.

After a meal together, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had mastered the art of dealing with centaurs, and they were less nervous when talking to other centaurs than they were at first.

In the elder's room, the elder said to Zhang Xu and the others after listening to the report from the subordinates who came back from the medicinal material warehouse: "I'm sorry, my friends, we still lack two kinds of medicinal materials in our warehouse, the other medicinal materials We are all prepared."

Zhang Xu, who knew something about the medicinal materials on the list, also understood that the horses did not cheat them. After all, some plants have medicinal value to humans, but to the horses they are no different from weeds.

The translation of the words of the elders of the horse people means that we have everything else in our warehouse except those two weeds.

At this moment, Harry who was sitting on the side suddenly asked: "Then how can we get these medicinal materials?"

Ron and Hermione also looked at the elder centaur nervously, for fear that he would put forward some very difficult conditions.

The centaur elder was stunned for a moment when he heard Harry's question. Originally, these medicinal materials were just regular supplies for the centaur, and they were not very expensive. Harry was not allowed to ask if Zhang Xu meant it.

And Zhang Xu was also taken aback for a moment, what Harry could have gotten by relying on his face, Harry meant that he was willing to pay for it.But considering that the injured person was an active player of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, it is understandable why Harry is so concerned about this matter.

After figuring this out and seeing the doubts of the elders of the horses, Zhang Xu simply used voice transmission to enter the secret and said a few words to the elders of the horses.

Immediately afterwards, the elders of the centaur began to release the task of the centaur village to Harry.

"Winter is approaching, and our village must store enough food for the winter. However, the fruit reserves in our village are not enough now. If you can provide us with a large amount of fruit, we can exchange medicinal materials."

After receiving the task, Harry's trio happily left after asking some details, while Zhang Xu stayed on the grounds that he was looking for two other medicinal materials that the horsemen did not have.

Now there are only the Elder Horseman and Zhang Xu left in the room. The Elder Horseman should tell Zhang Xu about what happened in the tribe recently.
