What Coven revealed was so unbelievable that it almost ruined the atmosphere.
In the end, Dumbledore could only casually reveal Covin's situation and finally closed the case.
Let Hagrid go back to rest first, and then Dumbledore asked Professor McGonagall to take the twins back to the Gryffindor lounge.
In the end, only Kewen himself was left in the office.
After sending everyone away, Dumbledore began to think deeply, pacing in the office with his head lowered.
Corwin could only watch quietly. It was obvious that Dumbledore left him alone because he had something else to do.
Not long after, Dumbledore finally stopped, looked at Covin, pondered for a moment and said, "Please accompany the old man for a while."
Ke Wen didn't ask anything, just nodded silently.
Afterwards, the two left the principal's office, left the castle, and re-entered the Forbidden Forest to Ke Wen's surprise.
While walking deeper into the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore broke the silence: "Are you feeling very confused?"
"Yeah." Cohen walked beside Dumbledore and admitted aloud after hearing the words.
"Although it's a bit bad to say this..." Dumbledore said casually: "But I have already had some ideas about the Acromantula clan."
"Can you tell me, Mr. Principal?" Ke Wen gave a compliment at the right time with great insight.
"Of course." Dumbledore said happily, as if he could finally share a secret he had held back for a long time with others.
As he continued to move forward, Dumbledore said: "The Forbidden Forest belongs to the academy, so some ethnic groups living in the Forbidden Forest will occasionally contact me as the principal to ask for help or to report something to me.
."
Ke Wen didn't make a sound and listened quietly.
Dumbledore's 'sharing' continued: "In recent years, various ethnic groups in the Forbidden Forest have reported the same thing to me, which is that the Acromantula group has developed too fast.
If this continues, it will oppress the living space of other ethnic groups in the Forbidden Forest.
This will be detrimental to the ecological balance of the Forbidden Forest."
Ke Wen came in at the right time and said, "So, the principal's punishment for us this time is not so severe?"
"There may be some reasons for this." Dumbledore thought for a moment and nodded.
Then, Dumbledore seemed to be feeling emotional and continued to say in a teaching voice: "Kevin, you have to know that spiders are cruel creatures, and creatures like the Acromantula have the instinct to attack humans.
"
"Are they the Academy of Fear?" Ke Wen knew better, but pretended not to know and interrupted: "So the Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest has never come out to attack students?"
"No." Dumbledore shook his head and said softly: "This is all the credit of Hagrid. He made an agreement with the Acromantula clan leader, and agreed that 'Aragog' strictly ordered its descendants not to
He must leave the forbidden forest and attack humans."
"Of course." When Dumbledore said this, he added helplessly: "The reason why the Acromantula tribe can appear in the Forbidden Forest is also because of Hagrid."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Headmaster!" Coven suddenly called Dumbledore.
"What's wrong?" Dumbledore stopped and looked down at Corwin.
Coven raised his hand and pointed forward: "I remember there was a large group of 'Billywigs' ahead, so we'd better avoid them."
Dumbledore glanced in the direction that Coven was pointing, then showed a sudden look on his face and nodded with a smile: "Okay, thank you for the reminder, let's go this way."
Moving in another direction, Dumbledore continued: "Where were you talking about before? Oh, I remembered it."
Dumbledore's "Continuation of the Book": "You know, as the principal, there are too many things that require my attention every day, so I have never had the opportunity to see the situation of the Acromantula tribe in person.
Your mistake this time just reminded me of this, so let's take this opportunity to go to the location of their tribe and observe it."
"Okay, Mr. Principal." Coven still didn't understand why Dumbledore wanted to bring him with him. Wouldn't it be more convenient if he came alone?
However, Coven didn't say much and went to get to the bottom of it. After answering, he remained silent and followed Dumbledore all the way to the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
The two walked for more than half an hour. When they saw the first Acromantula, Dumbledore cast a 'Disguise Curse' on the two of them, making him and Corwin invisible.
Therefore, after avoiding the densely populated Acromantulas all the way, we finally arrived at the Acromantula's nest after twists and turns.
Not showing up, Dumbledore took Corwin and hid next to a big tree on the edge of the nest, carefully observing the entire nest.
Not counting the Acromantulas out foraging, the number of spiders that can be seen near the nest alone exceeds three hundred.
This made Dumbledore frown and look a little worried.
After observing for a moment, Dumbledore raised his hand and waved it in front of the two of them, and then said: "You can speak now, they can't hear us now."
"Sir, there are too many of them!" Ke Wen's tone sounded a little solemn and he whispered: "As far as I know, ordinary spiders can lay thousands of eggs at a time. Even if the survival rate is not high, there are still hundreds.
The spiderlings can survive!
And the book also says that the ‘Acromantula’ has a very long lifespan, so... I’m afraid we really should restrict the development of their population!”
Dumbledore nodded solemnly, stared at the nest in silence for a moment, then lowered his head and said to Corwin: "That's enough, let's go back."
"Good professor." Ke Wen responded.
But Dumbledore's next move stunned Coven.
Dumbledore took out his wand, waved it and said, "The Curse Stops".
The next moment, the 'Illusion Curse' and 'Silent Curse' on the two men suddenly dissipated, exposing their figures to the eyes of all the Acromantulas.
"Sir?" Coven immediately pulled out his wand.
Dumbledore did not respond immediately. Instead, he shook his wand and fired a beam of magic light, which hit an Acromantula.
The Acromantula didn't even scream, its huge body shrank suddenly, and then fell to the ground helplessly.
Dumbledore then waved his wand, and under the silent 'Transformation Summoning Spell', the spider's body was replaced somewhere unknown.
Only then did Dumbledore lower his head and ask as if testing: "Faced with this situation, what do you think is the most appropriate thing to do?"
Coven was very puzzled by Dumbledore's thoughts, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much.
Facing the ‘acromantula tide’ rushing towards them from all directions, Kewen instantly calmed down and entered a calm state without any distractions...
