Chapter Thirty-Three: The Meeting About The Giant Spider Family In The Forbidden Forest
"Well, I need the acromantula family to provide me with one hundred pints of venom every month!"
"You have to pay me 5,000 spider eggs!" Kyle's eyes lit up.
Acromantula venom costs a hundred Galleons a pint in Knockturn Alley. By controlling the shipment speed, the price can be kept at 60 or 70 Galleons per pint. It's not a small sum for a month. Another thing is to hatch 5,000 spider eggs and remove the necrotic ones. Kyle can completely build his own army of acromantulas.
"It's impossible!" Aragog hurriedly refused when he heard the condition. Even the venom, which can regenerate, is nothing to the giant eight-eyed spider. But spider eggs... that is the root of the acromantula family, which is equivalent to selling a child to someone else. This is a completely impossible condition.
"Professor, he doesn't agree..." Kyle didn't take it seriously, and turned to look at Dumbledore. "Maybe I can come to the Forbidden Forest more often in the future..."
"In principle, Hogwarts does not allow little wizards to break into the Forbidden Forest casually. If I find out, I will definitely deduct points for you! And we absolutely disapprove of playing with fire in the Forbidden Forest!" Dumbledore looked serious.
But these words fell into Aragog's ears... In principle? If found? What if it wasn't discovered? Aragog had not counted the fierce fire today, but at least six hundred children were lost... The ethnic group has shrunk by a fifth. Not much, just four more times... The acromantula family can basically become extinct in the Forbidden Forest. And the price this brat needs to pay is just deducting points?
Ding! Sorrow detected! Ding! The treasure chest is being extracted for the host! Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a golden treasure chest!
"Okay, I agree!" Aragog's tone was low. This can be said to be the most miserable day since the acromantula family began to multiply in the Forbidden Forest. It can be called the darkest hour. Defeat and humiliation to the nation!
"Well then, Aragog, take your children and leave. At this time tomorrow, you come to the Forbidden Forest to trade, and I will be a witness!" Dumbledore looked kindly. But no one in the wizarding world dared to ignore the words of this white-bearded old man.
"I see, Dumbledore!" Aragog had no choice but to retreat with their children reluctantly.
"Give me half of the venom from the giant eight-eyed spider every month!" At that moment, Snape, who had been silent until then beside Kyle, suddenly spoke. Before Kyle could respond, Snape added, "I'll replace it with something you need."
"Thank you, teacher!" Kyle immediately beamed when he heard this. Though Snape is regarded as an authority in potion science, his connections are not as extensive as Kyle's, who can acquire many materials not even banned by the Ministry of Magic.
"We should go back, too, child. It's not too late! To be honest, you should be sleeping in the dormitory at this time!" Dumbledore said, just thinking about the acromantula now makes his blood pressure soar. "Wait a minute, Professor, I need to say goodbye to my new friend!" Kyle dismounted from the centaur lady.
"Kyle, are you leaving?" Elena was a little reluctant at this moment. "I'm in the castle. You can come to see me anytime you have time! By the way, if you need something, you can also ask Hagrid to send me a letter. Let's make an appointment in the Forbidden Forest." "Okay, I'll come play with you in a few days!" Hearing this, Elena became happy.
"Okay, Professor, let's go!" Kyle returned to Dumbledore's side and placed his hand on Dumbledore's shoulder. Just like when they arrived, Fawkes, the Phoenix, waved its wings. After a moment of dizziness, they returned to the familiar principal's office.
Regarding the mighty Acromantula family in the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore and Snape had an overnight meeting with Professor McGonagall. As a participant in the event, Kyle was also allowed to sit in. The meeting reached the following consensus: First, the number of giant eight-eyed spiders is too large and needs to be controlled. Second, Kyle can visit the Forbidden Forest occasionally to keep Aragog in check. Third, it's getting late, and Kyle must return to the dormitory to rest immediately.
