Chapter 137: Hogwarts, Please Graduate Soon, Ch 70.1
Amidst the mournful cries, the horsemen fell one after another.
Wayne had not put in as much force as it seemed; although there was a lot of blood, it was just a normal injury for the horsemen given their physique. Ultimately, it was only a transformed ordinary python, which did not possess any potent venom.
"Xi…"
Suddenly, the unicorn mother began to neigh, and Wayne understood her intent.
"You want me to spare them?"
The unicorn nodded, her clear and innocent eyes devoid of any impurities.
After a few more cries, thanks to her innate abilities, Wayne was able to grasp her meaning even if he didn't fully understand. What she seemed to convey was that she once had a good relationship with the tribe of horsemen, who would share some fruits and vegetables they farmed with her. They were friends, and there was no need to continue fighting; no one would die here.
"I could let them go…"
Wayne stroked the unicorn's long neck, "But you have to let me come play with you afterward."
The unicorn blinked in confusion. Even without saying anything, she would not refuse Wayne's visits in the future.
Understanding the unicorn's expression, Wayne suddenly felt deeply guilty, his thoughts overly complicated. The animal world is so simple: you treat them well, and they will treat you well in return. Even Aragog, the eight-eyed giant spider, viewed Hagrid as a special existence. For Hagrid, Aragog had fought against his instinct to eat humans for fifty years. As for ordering the other eight-eyed giant spiders to hunt Wayne earlier, that was just animal instinct, not detracting from Wayne's appreciation of his virtues.
"I'll give you a break this time."
As soon as Wayne finished speaking, the snakes still fighting the horsemen transformed into ropes, temporarily restraining them.
"Go talk to them; I don't want to have to fight again once I release them."
Upon hearing Wayne's command, the unicorn nudged the sleeping baby with her head and placed it in his arms before walking over.
She neighed repeatedly, and the horsemen ceased their struggles. Only then did Wayne release the ropes binding them.
Holding his wounded neck, the leading horseman staggered to his feet and approached Wayne, his humanoid torso slightly bent.
"I'm sorry for misunderstanding you, little mare."
"My name is Razi; please forgive our recklessness. Seeing Hestia by your side, we thought you had captured her."
"Wayne Lawrence," Wayne replied casually, "Hestia? Is that your name?"
The last question was directed at the unicorn.
"Woo~"
"Alright, then I'll call you Hestia from now on."
Saying this, Wayne frowned again, "Who told you to stop? Aragog, don't you want your venom sacs?"
Aragog trembled all over and quickly ordered the remaining eight-eyed giant spiders to continue producing venom. Definitely don't upset this malevolent creature.
Seeing the eight-eyed giant spiders resume their work, Wayne nodded in satisfaction.
"Razi, right? You're the leader of the horsemen?"
