Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 162 The Unicorn's Lament (First Update)

Rumors among the young wizards suggest that bloodthirsty werewolves may even roam the Forbidden Forest, making it extremely dangerous.

However, Jerry was confirmed by Hagrid to be a wolf, not a werewolf. There are only werewolves born from a group of werewolves after they transformed.

Wolf children are offspring born from the union of werewolves during their transformation under the full moon. They possess intelligence comparable to humans, yet have the bodies of wolves.

They are two to three times the size of ordinary wolves, and intelligent wolves can even learn human language.

The reason for mentioning werewolves in the Forbidden Forest is to prevent young wizards from sneaking out to play and encountering danger, especially the adventurous Gryffindor wizards.

Hunting the eight-eyed giant spider in the forbidden forest would easily expose you.

Because Hagrid visits his eldest son Aragog every so often, and it's not normal for an eight-eyed giant spider, at the top of the Forbidden Forest's food chain, to be hunted.

However, if he simply hunts ordinary wild animals and releases them into the box space as food for Norber, he can avoid being discovered if he is careful.

Moreover, after his box expanded, it also needed to be filled with some soil, so it was a good opportunity to do it all at once.

Upon hearing that Jerry could solve the food problem, Sun Long didn't ask any further questions.

Although Jerry usually treated him with respect, he was still very self-aware as a prisoner.

Late the next night

Just in case, Jerry used a Transfiguration Charm to change his appearance before leaving Hogwarts Castle and entering the Forbidden Forest.

The pitch-black night, the strange trees that looked like demons with their claws outstretched, the eerie cries that rang out from time to time, and the sudden gusts of bone-chilling wind—from the outside, the entire Forbidden Forest looked like a sinister and terrifying den of demons.

Okay, it's not that scary. In Jerry's eyes, it's just an ordinary forest.

After entering the Forbidden Forest, they first found a patch of soil that was clearly fertile and covered with flowers and grass. They then used magic to lift it up piece by piece and transport it into the box space.

Then he began to rely on his keen senses to search for the animals that had already gone to sleep at night.

Two hours later,

He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!

Jerry stunned another plump hare that was foraging for food with a stun spell, threw it into the box space, checked the time, and prepared to end tonight's hunt.

In those two hours, Jerry had caught quite a few wild animals, including rabbits, pheasants, wild boars, and ferrets, enough to feed Norber for a while.

This means that once he returns to the Marvel universe from Hogwarts, he can simply spend money to buy large quantities of meat, without having to spend time hunting himself.

What was that sound?

Just as Jerry was preparing to return home, a mournful cry suddenly came from afar, causing him to frown.

It's normal to hear animal cries in this forbidden forest; it's survival of the fittest. Countless creatures are eaten every day in the forbidden forest. He's not a saint; he won't waste time doing meaningless things.

But for some reason, the sound was very unique, and upon hearing it, he couldn't help but feel an urge to rush over and rescue it.

This is very abnormal!

"Could it be a unicorn?"

Unicorns are among the most sacred and magical creatures in the world. Their horns, blood, and fur possess incredibly powerful magic, yet they never attack any living creature.

Only the mournful cry of a unicorn can entice any creature that hears it to rush to its aid.

At this time, in this place, hearing the unicorn's mournful cry, Jerry immediately realized something.

He remembered that Voldemort's parasite on Quirrell's head had drastically shortened Quirrell's lifespan, forcing him to hunt unicorns in the Forbidden Forest and drink their blood to prolong his life.

Thinking about this, Jerry hesitated. Should he go over there or not?

He wasn't hesitating about whether to rescue the unicorn; the unicorn's life or death wasn't really his concern. What he was hesitating about was whether to take this opportunity to go and eliminate Quirrell, this potential threat.

Ever since he ambushed Quirrell last time, he had a vague feeling that Quirrell seemed to know something, and sometimes he felt that the way Quirrell looked at him was a little strange.

Perhaps the box contained some dark magic that Quirrell didn't know about, or perhaps Voldemort discovered something at the time.

However, it's also possible that it was just his imagination.

But if Quirrell really knew that it was Quirrell who launched the sneak attack, then he is a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.

Although Jerry felt that with Dumbledore present at Hogwarts, and Quirrell and Voldemort's primary objective being the Philosopher's Stone, he wouldn't do anything even if he knew that it was Dumbledore who had stolen the storage box.

When the semester ends, Quirrell will definitely be killed off under Dumbledore's control.

It's better to be safe than sorry!

What if Voldemort and Quirrell, those two idiots, get carried away and sneak up on him from behind one day? He'd be done for.

Jerry is used to taking his destiny into his own hands, so he can only feel completely at ease if he strikes first and takes down the other side.

Previously, due to his lack of ability and the fact that he didn't have the opportunity to make a move while at school, he had never taken action.

This opportunity has come. Both of them are in the Forbidden Forest, and even if their brains are splattered, they are not afraid of being disturbed. Moreover, Quirrell is in the open while he is in the shadows, so the chances of success are extremely high.

Especially during his time in the French Magic Street, Jerry had already gained some understanding of his current abilities.

He felt that, in terms of actual combat ability, even in a head-on confrontation, he was not afraid of Quirrell.

The only thing that worried him was the remnant soul of Voldemort on the back of Quirrell's head.

Even though Voldemort was already a remnant of his soul, Jerry was still quite wary of him causing any trouble in the end.

However, upon closer reflection, if Voldemort's remnant soul truly possessed any power, it wouldn't have needed to hide in the Albanian forests for ten years before encountering Quirrell and causing trouble.

He also wouldn't have fled back to Albania after Quirrell's death, only to rise again with the help of Peter Pettigrew.

"If only I knew how to use sealing techniques right now!"

Actually, the best way to deal with Voldemort is the sealing spell mentioned in Merlin's Wizarding Manual, which should be the most effective magic against Voldemort.

Unfortunately, sealing magic is among the most advanced and difficult spells in Merlin's magic manual, and he hasn't even mastered it yet.

The key issue is that Sun Long doesn't know this magic either; he'll probably have to go to Balthazar to learn the sealing technique in the end.

"How about we go check it out first? If there's an opportunity, we'll pull off a heist; if not, we can always back out!"

After much deliberation, Jerry decided to go and take a look first. He figured that if he killed Quirrell here, he might be able to get quite a few Little Red Stars.

After all, he single-handedly thwarted Voldemort's resurrection plan!

This is definitely a good thing in this world, a really good thing.
