Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 75: Flowering and Fruiting

"He is a house elf. Don't you centaurs know a house elf?"

The centaur tried hard to lower his head to see the carrot clearly, but gave up: "I have never seen house elves before. They... look no different from goblins."

Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh.

There is still a big difference between house elves and goblins.

The centaurs took them into the tribe.

Because it was daytime, it seemed that most of the centaurs were not in the tribe, but Lu Ke saw the silver-maned old man he saw last time.

"Lu Ke? Why did you come here suddenly?"

The old centaur walked up to Lu Ke with a smile: "I'm sorry that you don't drink, but..."

He suddenly showed a surprised look: "This is an extremely evil black magic, Lu Ke?"

Lu Ke nodded: "I'm in trouble. I'm here to seek help from my friends."

The centaur nodded: "Follow me."

He turned around and walked into a wooden house with Lu Ke and Carrot.

"All the spells the centaurs know cannot undo this dark magic, and neither can herbs. They can only alleviate it."

The centaur said as he took several herbs from the shelf on one side.

Lu Ke quickly stretched out his hand: "Don't let me drink the medicine, it won't work."

The centaur smiled: "Can't stand the taste? You only look like a foal at this time, but it can relieve your pain."

Lu Ke shook his head: "I have found a way to break the curse, so there is no need for the herbs."

The centaur sighed and put down the herbs in his hand: "Need our help? What should we do?"

Lu Ke nodded: "Do you know that Hufflepuff once mentioned medicinal herbs..."

The centaur was stunned for a moment: "If anyone else asks you, he is already tied to the pillar outside."

Lu Ke smiled: "So?"

The centaur nodded: "The blood of Dionysus, it used to drive the entire tribe into madness and kill each other. It was called the blood of Dionysus. In fact, it was all the blood of centaurs. It was Hufflepuff. Changing it to a magical potion, it seems to be using an herb, it seems simple, but it is the highest skill."

The silver-maned centaur shook his head: "Although I know it was a difficult time, I still wish I was born then, not now."

"By the time you become as great a human being as Hufflepuff, Lu Ke, I will have died of old age long ago."

Lu Ke nodded silently.

Then he sighed: "Hufflepuff is amazing, I probably won't be her type."

The centaur smiled: "Yes, you are not her type."

"So what do you need about your herbs?"

Lu Ke sighed: "A typical Hufflepuff test. I need to pass the herb test and be recognized before I can become the successor of Hufflepuff."

The centaur nodded: "Then there is no doubt that the successor of Hufflepuff will not be injured by such a simple black magic, and all problems will be solved."

"let's go."

He took Lu Ke and Carrot into the clearing where the Blood of Dionysus was.

The smell of alcohol and blood floated above the spring water in the forest.

The centaur stopped in front of a plant that looked like a vine.

"This is the herb, but it wasn't like this when it was first planted here."

Lu Ke nodded. He actually didn't know any more about medicinal herbs than the old centaur in front of him, but Lu Ke could see that the medicinal herbs rooted in the spring water had been completely changed.

The environment will change plants, at least for this herb, the changes brought to it over a long period of time are not small.

The centaur sighed: "So you have to be a friend of this herb. Hufflepuff can really make things difficult."

Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh: "She probably doesn't think this is a difficult thing at all."

Lu Ke has given up.

If this is all the clues the centaurs can give him, then Lu Ke had better give up.

A herb cannot be happy, cannot speak, and cannot judge whether Lu Ke is qualified to be the successor of Hufflepuff.

But before turning around and leaving, Lu Ke hesitated.

"I suggest you transplant it. It's reaching its limit."

The silver-maned centaur sighed: "I said this thirty years ago, and then I was almost trampled to death, but now I am no longer worried. Herbs are much tougher than humans. It was here a thousand years ago. ”

Lu Ke shook his head: "It definitely didn't bloom and bear fruit thirty years ago. If this herb were to grow seeds..."

The silver-maned centaur lowered his head in surprise: "How is that possible? This herb has never bloomed or bear fruit..."

Then he saw where Lu Ke was pointing.

It was in the soil beside the spring, and half of the fruit was sticking out of the ground, like a peanut.

"This can almost destroy the entire tribe..."

The silver-maned centaur sighed: "I need to summon all the centaurs. You saved us, Lu Ke."

Lu Ke nodded: "This can be regarded as saving me. Anyway, let's wait until this is over. Who knows if Hufflepuff has left any clues."

The centaur nodded.

He turned around and looked at Carrot, who was always silent on his side: "House elves are always very powerful. Anyway, take good care of Lu Ke."

Carrot nodded proudly: "Of course."

Then the silver-maned centaur bolted away.

Lu Ke sighed: "The real problem is that I still haven't found any clues. I can only hope that this herb will really be useful."

Carrot nodded confidently: "Of course! Hufflepuff chose Lu Ke, and Lu Ke passed our test!"

Lu Ke smiled helplessly.

The horsemen took a while to gather, and finally, they came to Lu Ke.

"When the herb goes to seed, that means it's going to start to decline. There are many possibilities, at least half of which we can't afford."

The silver-maned elderly centaur seems to be very familiar with medicinal herbs, but other centaurs are different.

"Who knows if the same thing has happened to it before, but we just ignored it."

The centaur fell silent.

They lack the courage to do so.

Lu Ke sighed helplessly: "This herb is an annual and will wither after it bears fruit."

The centaurs next to them looked confused.

The silver-maned centaur looked down at Lu Ke: "How do you know?"

Lu Ke smiled: "As for the morphological changes of medicinal herbs, roots, stems, and leaves will change greatly depending on the environment, but the shapes of flowers, fruits, and seeds rarely change. I know this kind of fruit."

The silver-maned centaur was stunned for a moment: "Do you know what kind of herb this is?"

Lu Ke nodded: "I definitely know that this is the easiest and most useless herb to grow. Its rotten branches and leaves are used as fertilizer in the greenhouse, which is very useful for some herbs."
