The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 39 The Horseman
Ryan was surprised when he heard this sentence, because it was spoken by an adult female voice, but it was different from the voice of any professor in the school.

Fortunately, being able to speak means being able to communicate, and hopefully avoiding meaningless battles.So Ryan plucked up the courage to shout: "I don't have any malice, and I don't intend to hurt anyone. I can exit the forest now."

"Hey, hey, don't be so nervous, I just want to thank you for helping the unicorns." As soon as the words fell, a figure came out of the jungle.

"The horseman!" Ryan exclaimed in a low voice, and this turned out to be a female horseman that had never appeared in the novel.But if you think about it, horse people don't grow out of the ground, so how could there be only males?

This female horseman looks to be in her 30s, wearing a delicate brown leather armor, with a black hammer hanging from her waist.The part of her horse is white, and on the left and right sides of the horse are hung a round shield and her bow and arrow.

Ryan saw that she was not holding a weapon, so he put away the plants to show his friendliness.

She walked up to Ryan with graceful steps, then bent down and said to Ryan: "Mars is slowly getting brighter. Everyone thinks this is a very bad omen, and stubbornly believes that God's will cannot be violated. But I think sometimes it's our duty and part of God's providence to help the innocent. That's why I came out today, and ended up here seeing you heal that unicorn."

"This is what I should do. After all, for those elves in the forest, as long as a normal person with ability sees them in danger, they will help them." Ryan said with his head raised.

"Yeah, what kind of monster do you think is going to attack the unicorn?" asked the centaur.

"I'm not sure, but I found that the injured unicorn seemed to have lost a lot of blood."

"Oh my god, it's too bad. Could it be that the prophecy this time is true? But the centaur's prophecy is not without mistakes, I hope this time is also a mistake." The female centaur raised her head and said to herself.

Ryan looked at the centaur as if in a daze, so he said: "Oh, yes, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Ryan; Ryan Liang, a first-year student at Gryffindor College. I met you during the night tour today I found some silver liquid, and chased it out of curiosity. As a result, the unicorn was cured by chance.”

"It's no coincidence that unicorns don't trust humans so easily." The centaur said, "My name is Betty, and I'm from the nearby centaur tribe. I'm here to protect the unicorns from the alien dark forces. Violation. Because unicorns don't trust men, that's why I was appointed to protect them."

"Then why did the unicorn allow me to treat it?" Ryan asked puzzled.

"It's very simple. On the one hand, you are still a pony. Male unicorns who have not yet reached puberty can barely accept it. On the other hand-" Betty looked up at the sky at this point.

"I can see in you the gratitude of a large number of lives, you have saved at least thousands of innocent lives. I can even feel the natural gratitude that you have received from fighting against a large number of destructive unnatural monsters, Although this natural gratitude is a little different from the one I am familiar with. My rationality tells me that this is not possible. But I firmly believe that the secrets of you that the stars have revealed to me are true, so unicorns can accept it Friend of Nature therapy like you is also understandable."

Having said that, the centaur Betty moved her face closer.While looking up and down Ryan, he continued: "I am very curious about how you little guy did it? After all, our leader has fought for nature all his life, and he has not received as much gratitude from nature as you, let alone you. Some weird botanical helper, blessed by nature."

"Well, I'm a bit embarrassed, so I can't tell you what I did. I can only say that what you saw is true." Ryan said a little embarrassed.

"It's really fine. I think I can completely trust people who are blessed by nature. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what I see. After all, everyone will have their own secrets." Betty said seriously. "But I think as a student, you shouldn't come out now, let alone get so close to the dangerous core of the Forbidden Forest. I'll send you out now."

After finishing speaking, Betty took out a large basket from behind the tree and put Ryan into it (don't worry, this is what I planned to use to collect hay for paving the ground when I was sleeping, and it was very clean.).Then hang all the weapons on one side and the basket on the other.

Ryan found that the centaur was indeed a race close to nature. Even if Betty was trotting, he could avoid the dense branches blocking the road and walk on the ground in the woods.

"By the way, you just heard me say that after the unicorn lost a lot of blood, what happened when you talked about the prophecy? Of course, if this involves your or your group's secrets, just pretend that I didn't ask. After Ryan sat in the basket and adjusted his posture, he asked his inner question.

"Of course it's not a secret, let me think about where to start. Well, do you know what unicorn blood is used for?" Betty asked.

"I don't know," Ryan said a little strangely when he heard this question, "We only used its horn and tail hair in the potion class, I also feel a little curious, but the book I flipped hinted at the use of unicorns. The blood of beasts is an evil deed."

"That's because attacking a unicorn for blood is a brutal thing to do, and killing a unicorn when it's blood-draining is the most powerful, but it's also an extremely evil act," Betty said. "Only the most cruel and evil people would commit this heinous crime, wanting to evade the laws of nature and perpetuate their life which is no longer normal."

Having said that, Betty shuddered, as if she had encountered something terrible.

After a while, Betty went on to say, "As long as you still have breath, the blood of the unicorn can save your life. But this will also be cursed by nature. The blood drinker will have a half-dead life, A cursed life."

"This kind of choice that is worse than death is probably only made by those who urgently need to continue their lives and have alternatives. As far as I know, the Philosopher's Stone seems to be hidden in Hogwarts Castle, so—"

Just as Ryan was about to finish speaking, Betty put her finger in front of her mouth and made a quiet gesture.

"We see, Mars is bright again. I think you know what's going to happen, but please don't say it, because we don't want to get involved with you wizards just yet. Besides, you're a pony, and you shouldn't be Worry about these things."

At this time, Betty walked to the path less than 20 meters away from the Forbidden Forest, and she lifted Ryan from the frame and put him on the ground.

"I don't want to meet other people, you can go the rest of the way." After speaking, he took out a small silver ring from his quiver and threw it to Ryan. "You helped the unicorns, and I want to thank you on their behalf. When you have time to go to Greece, there is a temple of Chiron on the island of Crete. This ring will tell you the exact location of the temple. You take this If the ring comes to you, my teacher will give you the gift you deserve."

After finishing speaking, Betty turned around and flicked her tail chicly, walked into the jungle and left.
