Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God - Chapter 97
Hunting centaurs?
Upon hearing this request, Ye Ting couldn’t help but hesitate.
Although he didn’t like centaurs very much, he always maintained the attitude of lawful neutrality and was unwilling to favor any side.
If he provided weapons and supplies to Twilight Sparkle, wouldn’t it mean that he had changed his position?
Once discovered by the centaur tribe, he would most likely be hostile and attacked by them.
He looked at the centaur woman in front of him, pondered for a moment and asked:”Tell me in detail, what can you provide for me?”
“My bow and arrow will fight for you!”
Twilight Sparkle raised her head proudly.
“Although I am not as strong as the male centaurs in the tribe, I can proudly say that my archery skills are unmatched among the centaurs. Whenever you need me, my bow and arrow are always ready to strike for you.”
”
Ye Ting nodded, and then Ziyue saw a golden Ruyi appear in Ye Ting’s hand.
Without seeing the boy do anything, the golden Ruyi melted like flowing water, and then turned into a golden… bow
“”Do you see that tree?” Ye Ting pointed ahead.
Twilight Sparkle looked in the direction of his hand and found a dry tree with two yellow leaves growing alone on it.
Then, Ye Ting clamped his feet together and rode his unicorn in the opposite direction in front of Twilight Sparkle’s astonished eyes. After running for about a hundred meters, Ye Ting suddenly turned around, pulled the golden bow, and two feather arrows appeared on the bowstring.
Without seeing how Ye Ting aimed, the two arrows were fired at the same time.
Twilight Sparkle watched the two arrows draw two beautiful, almost parallel arcs, and then hit two yellow leaves almost at the same time.
This is Amber’s specialty: one arrow hits two hills!
Twilight Sparkle was stunned. She never thought that a little wizard would have such archery skills.
“How about it, can you centaurs do it?”
Ye Ting rode the unicorn back to Twilight Sparkle and asked slowly.
Although his tone was very calm, it sounded like an unspeakable mockery to Twilight Sparkle.
The centaur shook her head.
What a joke, this kind of archery skill is simply not something that ordinary people can use.
You know, for ordinary archers, it is already amazing to be able to shoot accurately within 50 meters. The Olympic archery target is 70 meters, but that is completely out of actual combat, and it can only be achieved by shooting at the same target for many years.
And Ye Ting not only hit the target from a hundred meters away, but also did it on a unicorn running at high speed, and turned his head to shoot…
Of course, even so, Twilight Sparkle felt that she could barely do it, after all, they were born with two pairs of horse hooves, and riding and shooting was their talent.
But what Ye Ting did now was to shoot two arrows at the same time and ensure that both arrows hit.
Twilight Sparkle racked her brains but couldn’t figure out how he did it.
Even if she practiced archery from the womb, it wouldn’t work.
“”Mr. Ye Ting, how did you develop such archery skills?” the female centaur couldn’t help asking.
“I just practiced casually.” Ye Ting changed the golden bow back to Ruyi and put it away.”At first it was just a hobby, and I only found out later that I have some talent in this area.”
“Love…hobby…just practice……”Ye Ting’s Versailles speech dealt a heavy blow to Twilight Sparkle.
How could such a talent appear in a little wizard? How could they, the centaurs, feel embarrassed.
Seeing Twilight Sparkle’s convinced expression, Ye Ting smiled.
He did intend to cooperate with the centaur in front of him, but it was also cooperation, and he needed to consider how to cooperate and who would take the lead.
Even though she was captured, this female centaur named Twilight Sparkle still acted so strong, which was not the cooperative attitude he wanted.
Therefore, Ye Ting chose to show off his skills and suppress Twilight Sparkle’s confidence first, so that it would be easier to negotiate.
However, this alone was not enough.
“Twilight Sparkle, you see, even though I am an excellent archer, in most cases, I prefer to use magic to solve problems. In front of powerful spells, archery, no matter how superb it is, can only be regarded as a pastime~”
Ye Ting said lightly,”So, how much value does your archery have for me?”
Ye Ting’s words made Twilight Sparkle lower her head and fall into deep thought.
Yes, the archery of this little wizard is already so outstanding, but in front of more powerful magic, it can only be reduced to a hobby.
And her archery is not as good as the other party, how much help can she provide to the other party?
Twilight Sparkle pondered in her mind, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and said to Ye Ting:”By the way, my divination ability is not bad, at least better than Ronan. Even among the centaurs, there are few people who can compare with me.”
Speaking of this, she regained her confidence:”Those centaurs are unwilling to share their divination skills with wizards, but I am willing. As long as you are willing to help, I can tell fortunes for you at any time. No matter what you want to find, I can help you predict it.”
As if she was afraid that Ye Ting would not believe her, she immediately said impatiently:”I can tell fortunes for you right now. According to the situation on Mars, Hogwarts will be very peaceful in the short term. But after two rounds of moon phases, the light of Mars will shine again.”
A good fortune teller is always like this, and likes to say something ambiguous to maintain mystery.
Ye Ting shrugged,”I know this very well. Due to its small size and large orbital eccentricity, Mars’ apparent magnitude changes unpredictably and its brightness is also unstable. But overall, it still shows a periodic change pattern.”
“Seriously, Twilight Sparkle, if you are interested, I can spend a semester explaining basic physics and the law of universal gravitation to you. By the way, I can also teach you how to look at the world from a Muggle’s perspective.”
Ye Ting sneered at astrology from the bottom of his heart.
He could understand Professor Sprout’s predictions. After all, magic, which is an unconventional existence, always has some special features that cannot be measured by common sense.
But how can astrology peek into the future?
Isn’t Mars brighter because it is closer to the earth? How can it be a hint of fate?
Let him believe in astrology?
That would be a great insult to the education he received in his previous life.
Twilight Sparkle shook her head gently and retorted disapprovingly:”Muggles’ observation angles are indeed unique, but can they explain the mystery of the birth of the universe? Can they answer the source of universal gravitation that you mentioned? Can they explain the origin of all things in the world?”
“If they can’t, how can you?” Ye Ting raised his eyebrows.
“Neither can I,” Twilight Sparkle said calmly,”Humans acquire knowledge by observing phenomena, and we centaurs also learn through observation. In essence, we are no different.”
How dare you say such a substitution of concepts?
Ye Ting had no choice but to use facts to ruthlessly break her luck.
“But in fact, Muggles can really explain these things.”
Ye Ting crossed his arms and began to popularize science for Twilight Sparkle. He started from molecules and atoms, and went all the way to quarks, and then jumped to the Big Bang theory. Then, he explained the theory of relativity and gravity in detail, telling her that gravity is actually just the geometric effect of the curvature of matter on space and time, etc.
In his previous life, Ye Ting only had a vague understanding of these advanced physics theories, but recently he accidentally saw these theories on the Encyclopedia Britannica and studied them carefully.
At this moment, he started to learn and apply them in front of Twilight Sparkle.
“Quarks… Big Bang… Riemann metric tensor… Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?”
Twilight Sparkle was confused. She was just an ordinary centaur who had never been to school. How could she understand all this?
But after hearing Ye Ting’s clear and logical explanation, she had to believe it. It seemed to be true.
“……OK… OK, you win, I admit that Muggles know more about the universe than Centaurs.……”Twilight Sparkle hesitated and tried to explain,”But that doesn’t mean that the centaurs’ divination is useless.”……”
“Really?”Ye Ting raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
Just then, a few clockwork beetles flew back to Ye Ting. Ye Ting let the beetles fly to his hand, sensed the message received by the beetles, and looked up at Twilight Sparkle.
“Here is an example of unreliable divination – didn’t you predict that the nearest habitat of the unicorn group is nearby? Why can’t I see any?”
“That’s not right!” Twilight Sparkle was shocked when she heard this,”I clearly saw a unicorn here yesterday.”
Her voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, and it was obvious that she was no longer confident. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
In the end, Twilight Sparkle could only whisper,”Maybe… maybe they have gone deep into the Forbidden Forest.”
Seeing that Ye Ting still had a stern face, Twilight Sparkle finally became dejected.
���……Sorry, other than this, I really don’t know what else I can give you.”
She looked at Ye Ting disappointedly,”Since you are unwilling to help me… then for Ronan’s sake, I hope you won’t tell other centaurs about my presence here.”
As she said this, she put her bow and arrow on her back and turned to walk deep into the forbidden forest.
Then, she heard Ye Ting’s voice behind her:
“Wait, where are you going?”
“Where else can I go?” Twilight Sparkle’s voice was a little sad.”I just want to find a more secret place where I won’t be found by my tribe.……”
“Why do you want to leave now?” Ye Ting asked,”And who said I don’t want to help you?”
“..Could it be that… Could it be that you really want to help me?” Twilight Sparkle was a little surprised, and then she couldn’t believe it.
“But…but apart from bows and arrows and divination, there is nothing I can do to help you.……”
“You never know.”
Ye Ting rode his unicorn to the side of the female centaur and patted her on the shoulder.”To be honest, even if you didn’t provide any help, I wouldn’t tell other centaurs about your situation. After all… I’ve been unhappy with Bain for a long time.”
Ye Ting said this sincerely.
In fact, Ye Ting has always wanted to expand the business of the Wanyou Shop among the centaurs.[]
The resources of the Forbidden Forest are so rich that Hagrid alone cannot collect them all.
With Hagrid’s map, Ye Ting would come to the Forbidden Forest every now and then, but even with himself, the efficiency was still not enough.
Recently, in addition to studying the intelligent core, Ye Ting has also been mass-producing humanoid clockwork machines, and there is a big gap in materials.
He also hopes to make a fortune by mass-producing potions and selling them to Diagon Alley through these materials.
So, Ye Ting thought of the centaurs.
As residents of the Forbidden Forest, the centaurs can completely replace them and collect various materials efficiently.
But the problem is, what right does Ye Ting have to drive the centaurs?
If this proud race is willing to submit to wizards, it would not have fallen to this point today.
What’s more, it’s 9119, who still uses the bloody and unpleasant slave system?
In terms of driving people, capitalists are much better than slaves.
Aren’t ordinary Muggles sold and count money for them?
Ye Ting’s plan is to sell the goods of the Wanyou Shop to the centaur tribe.
From Ronan’s attitude, Ye Ting could tell that although the centaurs were very xenophobic, there were still some people among them who were willing to accept the wizard’s merchandise.
Unfortunately, due to the traditional xenophobic centaurs like Bain, the centaurs who were willing to accept new things did not dare to accept Ye Ting’s merchandise.
((Zhao) Only Ronan would secretly make a deal with Ye Ting.
As an outsider, Ye Ting had no excuse to intervene in the internal affairs of the centaurs, so he could only worry.
Therefore, if someone could do something against those centaurs conservatives, he, Ye Ting, would definitely find a way to help.
And Twilight Sparkle was obviously such a person.
Ronan’s attitude showed that most of the moderates within the centaurs were very sympathetic to Twilight Sparkle. Therefore, even if Twilight Sparkle became a wanted criminal, they would not actively hunt down female centaurs.
And Twilight Sparkle’s so-called”hunting” of centaurs was certainly not aimed at these people.
On the contrary, those conservatives would be the most active in hunting down Twilight Sparkle, and they happened to be the common enemies of Twilight Sparkle and Ye Ting.
As long as Twilight Sparkle could kill a few more conservatives, the atmosphere within the centaurs would soon change.
Twilight Sparkle certainly didn’t know Ye Ting’s calculations.
After hearing what Ye Ting said, she suddenly felt that although this little wizard was very capable, he was still a very good person.
She immediately came forward and held Ye Ting’s hand:”Really? Are you really willing to help me?”
Because of her excitement, Twilight Sparkle leaned too close and almost made Ye Ting’s head fall into the cotton.
Resisting the desire to use the facial cleanser, Ye Ting nodded:”Yes, Miss Twilight Sparkle. I am happy to help you with this… and you are not completely unable to help.”
“Really!” Twilight Sparkle said in surprise,”Tell me now, I’m willing to do anything.”
Seeing the female horseman’s attitude,
Ye Ting nodded with satisfaction.
At this point, his goal was stable.
This proud little mare was first suppressed by Ye Ting, and her pride was worn away. Then, she transformed into Hu Baoyi and Ji Shiyu to comfort her. She already regarded him as a savior, and then naturally, whatever Ye Ting said was true.
