Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 242: The End of the Unicorn

After helping Hagrid prepare the magical animals needed for the next day, Sainz came to the unicorn area.

There weren't many unicorns in the enclosure at Hogwarts.

Back then, Quirrell, who was controlled by Voldemort, hunted in the depths of the Forbidden Forest. He drove the unicorns to the outskirts and used them as food reserves.

Sainz suggested that Hagrid find them all and gather them together for protection. Later, after Quirrell disappeared, most of the unicorns chose to return to their habitat in the Forbidden Forest, and a small number of unicorns chose to live in the fenced area.

There is food and drink here, and someone helps you wash and brush your teeth, and they speak nicely, so why must we return to the base!

Moreover, after establishing a new ethnic group, there will be an extra position for a leader, so why not do it?

The unicorns that chose to live in the fence were of course closer to humans, but they still had an innate distrust of human males. After Sainz became an assistant coach, it took him nearly three months to gain their trust and be allowed close contact.

Sai felt that his gradual acceptance might be related to his mastery of the art of brain occlusion. Otherwise, considering the double-standard thinking of these guys, it would be hard to say whether they could be trusted in three months.

Of course, there may be another reason, which is compromise. Since you choose to live in the fence, you can only endure being stroked by the wizard.

Sainz stroked his fur while complaining in his heart, "Where are you being cool? Why don't you show off?

Hehe, I finally escaped from the clutches of someone called Bu Sai!"

"Xilulu~"

"Wow, brush here again?

This is to make you feel comfortable..."

All adult unicorns have graceful bodies, pointed horns and covered manes. Their smooth and silky white fur emits a soft white light that can illuminate two or three meters around their bodies at night.

Sainz is stroking... The unicorn that is brushing its fur is the leader of this tribe. He is tall, two meters tall at the shoulder and nearly three meters tall when his head is raised. He is indeed a giant.

Compared to the skinny Thestrals, the unicorns all look like fast-paced bodybuilders.

The unicorn leader, whom Hagrid called Mateus, was indeed extremely handsome.

According to Hagrid, it was not this big before it decided to stay. It became obviously larger than its kind only after it separated from its original unicorn group.

Sainz said this phenomenon is easy to understand. When you stand out in a tribe, you are likely to be beaten. When you become the leader, you must quickly become strong.

Just like a bee colony, after it splits, a queen bee that is much larger than its peers will soon appear in the new colony.

The new tribe has just been established, and there are not many unicorns forming families. As the leader, Mateus' wife is probably the most beautiful girl in the tribe.

Although unicorns look like horses with horns, they are not horses after all. They are highly intelligent creatures. Perhaps the only difference between them and centaurs is that their vocal organs are not suitable for making human sounds, so they cannot speak.

In many stories, unicorns represent purity and nobility. Whether this is true or not is not discussed here, but at least in the current world view, it is true.

Since it is the symbol of purity, loyalty to the partner must be one of the requirements. So even though Matthäus is so handsome, he still cannot be a stud and has no harem.

"Xilulu!"

"Don't mind me, I'm definitely not criticizing you, I'm just praising you for being handsome!"

"Xilulu!"

"What? It showed on my face?"

"Xi Lu Lu."

Sainz secretly thought that he had made a mistake. He said how could anyone know what he was thinking, as he had mastered the art of brain occlusion. It turned out that it was because he was not facing a human being, so he was a little careless and neglected to manage his facial expressions, and was seen by... Ma saw the clue from his expression.

He warned himself in his heart, "This is the magic world, anything can happen, you must not let your guard down."

"By the way, your wife seems to be pregnant?"

"Xilulu?"

"How can I tell that? I'm a wizard, okay? How could I not have this kind of vision?

What, you just found out about this too?

Hey, I say you...you beast...you are such a careless guy.

But then again, you also have magic, so there will be no problem in ensuring the healthy birth of the child, so there is no need to worry about anything.

By the way, I heard that your unicorn children were golden and very cute when they were young, so how come they turned white when they grew up?

What, you don’t know what’s going on?

Hey, how did you become a leader? You guys are so stupid that you don’t even know why a child changes color... Hey, hey... don’t leave..."

After all, it is a magical creature, so the first thing to do when seeing any strange phenomena is to attribute it to magic.

It is impossible that unicorns are also fur-changing creatures. Like many ordinary creatures, they are covered with fluff when they are young and then change into harder real fur when they grow up.

Just think about it, the noble unicorn becomes alopecia during the molting period, like a rotten watermelon that has been half-eaten by a dog, with some gold and some white, and some hair balls that have not completely fallen off hanging on its body. It is impossible for such an image to attract a pure witch!

Sainz speculated that the color change of unicorns might be related to the gradual deepening and maturity of magic power. It might be that certain substances in the fur or the fur itself gradually changed color under the continuous infusion of magic power.

If their colors are not mixed with more fantastical magic such as the selective invisibility of the Thestrals, then their color change process is likely to be a spectrum change inspired by magic.

Unicorns, regardless of size, glow. They glow golden when they are young and white when they grow up. So the color on their bodies is not just a reflection, but an active choice.

As we all know, color is formed because objects absorb light in other bands and only reflect light received by the human eye. For example, gold means that when visible light shines on the object, only gold is reflected.

But the unicorn's fur is not just like that. The color of their fur is also actively chosen. They can glow actively and are a light source in themselves.

The fur of adult unicorns turns white, reflecting all visible light. At the same time, the light they emit is also white. If the light they emit is not white but gold, then they will still appear gold.

Therefore, Sainz deduced that the color change of unicorns was most likely due to the fact that as they gradually matured, the light radiated by their fur changed from a single golden color to a full-band!

This also conforms to the law of growth and maturity. At the beginning, the magic is weak and can only activate the golden light emitting structure that is most easily activated. As the body becomes stronger, the magic power becomes stronger, and gradually all the luminous structures are activated and turn white.

"Hey, Mateus, you came here and made me look for you for a long time. I heard that some unicorns have wings, why don't you have them?

Hey, what's that look you have? Are you rolling your eyes?"

Hearing Sainz's words, Matthäus just rolled his eyes in contempt, but Hagrid ran over excitedly from a distance.

"Where is it? Where is it? Which unicorn has grown wings? Let me see it!"
