Chapter 345 343 Firenze

Chapter 345 343. Firenze

The dragon skin around the eyes is very weak. Jon's blasting spell caused the Norwegian Ridgeback's left eyelid to bleed, and also stimulated its ferocity.

It spread its wings and took off from the ground, ignoring the two patronuses that had already climbed on it, and flew directly towards Jon.

When Jon collected the Golden Snitch in the afternoon, he also studied a lot of information about the batch of fire dragons bought by the referee team of the Triwizard Tournament as competition props.

These dragon species were obviously carefully selected by people, and most of them were female dragons in estrus. At this time, most of them were violent and restless, and difficult to tame, so those Romanian dragon trainers threw them all into the Forbidden Forest and basically didn't care about them.

It just limited a certain range so that these dragons would not leave this limited range and excessively damage the ecology of the Forbidden Forest.

In fact, even with such a patch, the problems caused by the dozen dragons in the Forbidden Forest have also greatly affected the indigenous people in the forest.

Just like the group of unicorns that Jon encountered when he first entered the Forbidden Forest, their original territory was occupied by a dragon, and the tribe itself was attacked. If it weren't for Jon's help, a little unicorn would have died for this.

Even the unicorns have encountered such a thing, the situation of other creatures in the Forbidden Forest can be imagined.

If Dumbledore was still in charge of Hogwarts Castle and Hagrid was still the gamekeeper, they would definitely not allow such a thing to happen. Even if the competition venue was to be placed in the Forbidden Forest, the dragon could not be allowed in.

At this time, Jon stood at the edge of the area restricted by the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon, watching it fly away from the entrance of the valley that it had originally guarded, forming a shadow covering the sky above him.

The hot dragon blood was dripping onto the ground. The ridgeback dragon did not hide its anger at being attacked. It opened its mouth in mid-air, and sparks burst from its dark throat!

"Roar!"

The dragon roared throughout the entire Forbidden Forest, and countless birds flew straight into the sky. As the sound rang out, the temperature began to rise sharply!

Orange-yellow flames with dragon magic fell from the sky, and Jon had been prepared for this. Before the dragon's breath was sprayed down, he activated the floating spell on the ring and flew into the sky.

Because his size was extremely small under the huge body of the dragon, and one of his eyes had been injured by Jon's blasting spell, and blood was flowing all over his face, making his vision a little blurred, so the ridgeback dragon, who was venting his anger on the ground, did not notice the rise of this "ant".

And it was because of this that it caused great trouble later.

Jon had silently come to the side of the ridgeback dragon, pointed his wand at its other intact eye, and began to use the same method as when he dealt with the man-headed lion-body manticore, holding the wand tightly with both hands.

Without using any powerful spells, Jon directly used the method of casting spells with both hands and used the coma spell.

A bright red beam that was much thicker than a normal spell instantly cut through the entire night sky!

At this time, the ridgeback dragon's other intact eye suddenly felt a dazzling flash of light illuminating its entire eye socket, but when it wanted to take defensive actions, it had no time to react, and it didn't even have time to close its eyelids!

This coma spell was so simple and straightforward that it went straight into the ridgeback dragon's eye socket, and the effect of the spell immediately passed through its eyeballs and spread to its brain!

Suddenly, the ridgeback dragon, which was still breathing dragon breath, froze.

It can be seen that it was greatly affected by the spell, and even its wings could not be flapped, and it could not maintain its flight in the sky. But even in the weakest defense, it was hit by such a powerful coma spell by Jon, but it still did not intend to fall to the ground on the spot, and was still struggling to keep its consciousness clear.

But Jon obviously would not give it this opportunity. This time he did not aim at the half-closed intact eye of the ridgeback dragon, but directly aimed at its injured eye. Jon did not stop or show mercy, and used the coma spell continuously, shooting at its wound one after another.

So many coma spells finally played a normal role. The ridgeback dragon finally couldn't hold on in the sky. With the last resentful look, it vaguely glanced at the figure flying in the air, and then fell to the ground with a bang, causing the entire ground to tremble violently.

After successfully knocking down the ridgeback dragon, Jon did not stop casting spells. He continued to use the Stunning Spell on the dragon lying on the ground over and over again, and at the same time he could find time to collect the Golden Snitch nearby.

The dragon had to be knocked down, the centaurs had to be rescued, and the competition had to be taken care of at the same time. Jon could not let his work go in vain, at least all the rewards he deserved had to be obtained.

Just when Jon had just knocked down the Norwegian ridgeback dragon, in the valley, Hoss and Cedric quickly found the last group of centaurs remaining in the Forbidden Forest.

As Cedric said to Jon, there were almost no adult males among these centaurs, and they were basically old, young, women and children. Even among the few remaining men, there were a few with physical defects, either missing an arm or a broken finger.

The leader of these centaurs was a handsome adult male centaur with platinum curly hair, blue eyes, and a handsome appearance.

His name was Firenze. He only had one of his beautiful sapphire-like eyes left. The other was covered by a black eye mask. Cedric knew that the other eye was blinded by the Auror's spell.

When Cedric found them, these centaurs had no intention of resting. Whether they were men or women, old people or children, they all held bows and arrows in one hand and torches in the other hand, fully armed and ready, as if they wanted to fight to the death with the fire dragons guarding the entrance and exit of the valley.

"What are you going to do like this? Firenze."

Cedric, who appeared like the wind on Horse, scared many centaurs. They raised their bows and arrows at the first time, but after hearing Cedric's voice and seeing the familiar face, they all put down their weapons again. It was obvious that they were all familiar with this young student.

"We don't have enough food, Cedric." After seeing Cedric appear, Firenze's only blue eye showed joy, but the seriousness and solemnity on his face did not diminish much. "If we continue to wait here, everyone will starve to death. Even if only one can escape, it is better than dying here."

Cedric saw the pale faces of the horsemen, all of whom were pale and thin. He knew that they had been trapped in this valley for half a month. They had no preparation for the appearance of the three fire dragons that blocked the exit. The food they had stored should have been consumed long ago.

"I've asked someone to help save you! He is helping to contain the fire dragon at the exit in the northwest corner of the valley. If we go there now, we will have a chance to escape directly!"

Cedric did not have any extra greetings or questions. He quickly explained the current situation to Firenze and the others.

Hearing his words, the solemnity on Firenze's face completely turned into excitement.

He immediately called his people and followed behind Cedric and Hoss. Hoss was also tactful and did not speed up so fast. He looked back from time to time to find the little mare he liked and winked at them.

"You contacted Dumbledore!"

While running towards the exit of the valley where the Norwegian Ridgeback was, Cedric looked at Firenze with an embarrassed expression, expecting him to give a positive answer.

"No, I didn't contact Dumbledore. After they came to Hogwarts, they were strictly guarded by many Aurors. No one could easily contact them."

In response, Firenze said another name.

"Is that Rubeus Hagrid? If there is a chance to return to the castle, he will definitely come with us, and he will definitely take the initiative to find a way to come to the Forbidden Forest to find us!"

Cedric shook his head again, and this time he did not let Firenze continue to guess, but directly said who the person was.

"It's Jon Green."

The centaurs have been hiding in the Forbidden Forest for many years. Of course, there is not much chance to know the situation outside, so they are obviously unfamiliar with Jon's name.

"Who is that? Someone from the Order of the Phoenix?"

"He is the warrior who represented Dumbledore in the Triwizard Tournament."

"So, he is just a student?" A centaur who heard their conversation exclaimed, "A student is fighting a dragon? Are you kidding? Are we going to collect his body now?"

His words made Hoss very dissatisfied. Jon was his "good brother" after all, and he had thought about his marriage. Now that someone said that, Hoss was not very happy.

Cedric could understand that the centaur did not have much malice. After all, normal people would not believe it when they heard such things. Even the elite among wizards might not be able to fight a dragon alone, let alone a student from a magic school.

But he did not explain much. Any explanation was not as good as the facts in front of him, and after seeing the facts, all explanations were redundant.

Although Cedric only really met Jon today, he had full confidence in this boy who had long been famous throughout Europe.

The speed of the centaurs was not as fast as that of Hoss, who had racial talent, but they were not slow at full speed. It took them less than ten minutes to reach the exit of the valley where the Norwegian Ridgeback was stationed. At this time, the behemoth had disappeared.

When Firenze and his men arrived here, they could only see a boy picking up the golden snitch flying around.

The trembling sound of the horse's hooves trampling on the ground had already attracted Jon's attention. He saw Cedric, who was riding on Hoss's back and leading the way, and the centaur with long platinum hair and one eye next to Cedric.

Behind them were a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people. Some centaurs looked around nervously after arriving at this intersection.

"Where is that damn fire dragon?"

Jon did not reply. He just waved his wand behind him and recited a coma spell.

Following the bright red color that was extremely conspicuous in the dark night, the centaurs saw the Norwegian Ridgeback lying on the grass.

They were surrounded by Aurors in the Forbidden Forest for so long, and no one who survived was a fool.

The dragon that had fallen to the ground was naked in front of them, and only Jon was there. Combined with what Cedric had said to them on the road, every centaur could guess this absurd fact.

Compared with other people of the same tribe, Firenze was still very calm.

He was considered a wise man among the centaurs. He was proficient in astronomy and divination. He knew very well that some outstanding young wizards were beyond the imagination of their tribe who had lived in the forbidden forest for many years.

"Hello, Mr. Green, my name is Firenze."

The current centaur chief extended his hand to Jon in a friendly manner.

Firenze.

Jon was not unfamiliar with this name. In the original book, the centaur in front of him had also served as a professor of divination at Hogwarts Castle. His achievements and ideas in divination were very desirable. At least in teaching and educating people, he was much better than his other colleague, the one who had said the prophecy of the savior.

Jon extended a hand and shook it.

"Hello, Firenze, just call me Jon, Hagrid has mentioned your name to me."

Hagrid did tell Jon the name of Firenze, and told him to go to Firenze for help if he encountered trouble in finding the centaur named Parson.

Obviously Hagrid had great confidence in Firenze, and he felt that Firenze would still be alive, and indeed it was the case, the centaur was indeed alive, but he was missing an eye.

Jon had almost collected all the golden snitches around the Norwegian Ridgeback. He did not have any extra greetings with Firenze, but once again cast a Stunning Spell on the dragon lying on the ground, and said that they had better leave here first and find a safe place to talk.

In fact, if it were not for the fact that there were three fire dragons blocking the centaurs in the valley, which was a bit too coincidental and strange, Jon would have had enough patience to skin and cramp the Norwegian Ridgeback.

Each fire dragon can be said to be full of treasures, and is no less than a basilisk.

But if he really wants to deal with a dragon, the process is too troublesome. Moreover, after the game, Jon will have to worry about whether the referee team will give him trouble for this matter. After all, these fire dragons are protected animals.
