Chapter 34: Into the forbidden forest

　　 Matthew Wickfield never thought that he would enter the depths of the Forbidden Forest to "exped" in the second week of school.
　　Despite being accompanied by a teacher, this professor Kettleborn does not seem to be much more reliable than Hagrid...
　　 "It looks like you are well prepared." Taking a look at Matthew's long-sleeved wizard robe, riding boots and dragon leather gloves, Professor Keitelburn commented:
"Very wise, I remember that at the beginning of last semester, a Ravenclaw girl was wearing a short skirt to participate in after-school practice... Merlin's beard, I remember that after the end of the day, the poor girl cried for almost half Hours……"
　　 "That... Professor Keitelburn!" Matthew asked softly, "What is a vampire?"
"A very vicious and magical creature!" Professor Keitelburn commented: "The body is about the size of a fox, the whole body is light gray and slightly blue, the eyes are as big as eggs, the fangs are very long, and the head and back are born. Long thorns. They like to sneak up on domestic animals and common small animals and their blood..."
"...Of course, in fact, vampires are just a very weak magical creature. They hardly attack Muggles or wizards... It's just that these in the Forbidden Forest not only killed a brood of my own The chickens attacked the rabbits I released three weeks ago. It is an unforgivable sin..."
　　Chicken...Rabbit...This vampire sounds very weak! Matthew thought to himself.
　　 Then this "expedition", there is a high probability that there will be no danger!
　　 "Take this!" At this moment, Professor Keitelburn stuffed a teapot into Matthew's hand.
　　 "This is?" Matthew was stunned. This delicate teapot was exactly the one he had seen on the round table before.
After 　　 took the teapot, he could clearly feel that the thing was heavy, there seemed to be something in it, and it was a living thing!
　　 "If you are in danger, you will smash this teapot, and the little guy inside will protect you!" Professor Keitelburn explained: "Well, Wakefield, let's go!"
　　 Matthew looked at the teapot in his hand... as if, it still didn't feel very reliable.
　　……
　　 Since the sky was not completely bright, especially after entering the Forbidden Forest, Professor Keitelburn also brought a light.
　　 He walked in front, and Matthew walked in the back, the two came to the edge of the forbidden forest together.
　　 Then, Professor Keitelburn took the lead into a small intestine path hidden deep in the dark forest.
　　 The forbidden forest was dark and silent; Matthew could hear the gurgling water, and it was obvious that there was a stream somewhere nearby; besides, he could hear Professor Kettleburn’s whistle.
　　 Since entering the Forbidden Forest, the professor of the magical animal protection class has been whistling in a frivolous tone.
　　 and it's very ugly!
　　 More importantly, Matthew still has a teapot in his hand, so he can't cover his ears.
　　 After enduring it for almost five minutes--
　　 "Meow!" There was a cat cry from the front.
　　 "You finally came, little Tom!" Professor Keitelburn stopped whistling, he squatted down, and said affectionately.
　　 Then in the bushes, a cat came out.
To be more precise, it is a cat-like creature... It is a bit larger than an ordinary domestic cat, with various spots on the fur, particularly large ears, and sharp teeth; in a sense, if it is said to be It's a little tiger, perhaps more appropriate.
　　 "Come on, Tom!" Professor Keitelburn took out a ham from nowhere, and then threw it in the direction of the "little tiger".
　　 The "little tiger" sniffed the ham, grabbed it with his mouth, and then swaggered towards the depths of the forbidden forest.
　　 Professor Keitelburn hurriedly motioned to Matthew to follow.
"Tom is a raccoon cat, he is very smart, he is very familiar with the environment in the forbidden forest, he can help us find the nest of blood vampires." At the same time he explained: "Of course, sometimes he is too smart ..."
　　While speaking, Professor Keitelburn glanced at the ham in Tom's mouth with some regret.
　　……
　　 With Maolizi leading the way, the journey seems to be much smoother.
They walked for a while into the forbidden forest and reached a fork in the road... Tom put down the ham and sniffed vigorously on both sides of the fork, and soon it cleared the direction, picked up the ham again, and walked into the right road. .
　　Professor Keitelburn had a relaxed look, while Matthew looked around curiously, watching the weird flora and fauna very strangely.
　　 From time to time, a morning light sprinkled from among the leaves above.
　　Once accidentally, Matthew was suddenly on a fallen leaf, as if he saw a silver-blue blood stain~EbookFREE.me~ He quickly stopped and wiped his eyes, but the light suddenly dimmed again.
　　 "Hurry up, Wakefield, don't be left alone, know that there are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest!" Professor Keitelburn urged in front.
　　 Matthew could only follow up quickly.
　　 They walked past a moss-covered tree stump. Suddenly, Tom stopped. Then Professor Keitelburn also stopped.
　　 In the bushes ahead, something is faintly moving, and it seems to be very large and numerous...
　　Professor Keitelburn, with a somewhat joking face before, suddenly became serious.
　　 Then, Matthew saw him raising his wand.
　　 Only a few "bang" and "bang" sounds were heard. Several ropes emerged from the end of his wand and flew into the bushes.
　　 Then only a man's roar was heard, and then the other side of the bush rolled.
More than ten seconds later, a half-man, half-horse thing fell over from the other side of the bush...Above the waist was a man with black hair and a beard, but below the waist was the body of a horse, with a trail behind it. Long pony tail.
　　 is a horseman, but Professor Kettleborn's rope has easily subdued it.
　　Professor Keitelburn did not continue to look at the horseman who was tightly bound, his eyes still looked into the bush
　　His voice also became severe: "Horses, you have violated the agreement signed with Professor Grindelwald, you dare to leave the habitat designated for you!"
　　 Matthew noticed that the magic wand that was in Professor Keitelburn's left hand now came to his right hand, the prosthetic arm.
