Harry Potter Returns from Baldur's Gate

"What nonsense!"

As Aragog excitedly waved his claws, the woods once again heard a crackling sound. It was a roar like the waves produced when countless giant spiders waved their claws together.

"This is our home! No one can drive us out from here, not even you, Hagrid!"

Aragog stopped waving his claws and stared fiercely at Hagrid in front of him.

"Hagrid, you were not like this in the past. I still remember what you did to protect me. What exactly affected our friendship? Was it him?"

Aragog's eight cloudy eyes turned to Harry.

Although Aragog was already very large, he was still smaller than a giant spider that Harry had seen in the past that was transformed from a drow wizard and could use teleportation spells.

So when facing Aragog's fierce gaze, Harry not only did not feel threatened, but even wanted to laugh.

"It has nothing to do with Harry, Aragog. This is my own decision."

Hagrid shook his head.

"Hagrid!"

Aragog let out a sharp roar when he heard Hagrid's words.

"You were the one who hatched me and put me here! Now! For the sake of our friendship over the years, I will forgive you one last time. We won't hurt you tonight, but if you enter the Forbidden Forest again next time, we will no longer be friends! Hagrid!"

Hearing this, Harry suddenly thought of something.

Harry turned his head and looked at Hagrid, whose face was full of sadness.

"Ruber, why did you put them in the Forbidden Forest?"

"Because it was afraid of the monsters in the castle, it begged me to let it leave the castle."

Harry nodded, then turned and smiled at Aragog.

“I’m going to take care of myself.”

After Harry said this, he found that he was still speaking English, so he tried hard to adjust himself.

"Who the hell are you?! Are you worthy enough to talk to me?"

Hearing Harry's words, Aragog waved his claws angrily.

"Hiss..."

Harry, who had finally adjusted his pronunciation to Parseltongue, looked at Aragog and said.

"Little Spider, who gave you the courage to speak to the master of the basilisk like this?"

The next moment, all the spiders in the forest froze in place as if they were cursed by petrification.

080 No one knows negotiation better than Harry

Looking at the group of spiders in front of him that seemed to be under a petrification curse, Harry knew that he was right.

But it's not that hard to guess.

Fifty years ago, the basilisk was released from the Chamber of Secrets for the first time. At that time, Hagrid, who hatched these giant spiders, was framed, and Hagrid said that it wanted to leave the castle because it was afraid.

If I can't even make this kind of inference, all my adventures over the years will have been in vain.

Looking at Aragog who was now as stiff as a stone.

A businesslike smile appeared on Harry's face. As for negotiations, Harry was an old hand.

No one knows how to negotiate better than Harry, except for Woking.

Just when Harry was about to make Aragog an offer he couldn't refuse.

Aragog suddenly raised the front half of his body.

"Kill him, boys! If he gets back into the castle we're all doomed!"

Harry couldn't believe his ears when he heard Aragog's words.

Are all you spiders so brave?

You choose to fight without listening to my conditions?

"Harry! What did you just say?!"

Hagrid asked Harry as he swung the huge ham in his hand again.

"I just gave them a peace offer! What do we do now?"

Harry had to shout to Hagrid as the "crunching" sound echoed through the woods.

"Aragog! Aragog!"

Seeing that the giant spider no longer responded to his calls and gradually retreated into the spider tide, Hagrid could only shout loudly to Harry.

"Call your basilisk! Or wait until Dumbledore realizes something is wrong!"

Looking at the spiders pouring out of the woods like a tide, Harry decided that no matter what others said, even if Dumbledore wanted to deduct Gryffindor's points all the way to his seventh year, he would always carry his pink fluffy rabbit with him.

This is the safest place in the wizarding world. Harry didn't even dare to imagine what the prisons in your wizarding world are like.

I’m afraid that even the demons in the bottomless abyss would want to roll back into the abyss after seeing this?

After swinging his sword and firing a few flaming slashes at those giant spiders that were obviously not ordinary spiders, he lit a few spider-shaped fires in the woods.

Harry found that even if he was holding not this completely useless sword, but his pink furry rabbit facing the vast number of spiders.

Not to mention clearing his spell slots, even if he shot out everything he could and couldn't shoot today, he probably wouldn't be able to clear out such a large number of spiders.

As for holding on until Dumbledore discovered that something was wrong...

Which experienced adventurer would not know what would happen if friendly forces did not appear at the first moment of an accident?

Then in the next battle, there is no need to take friendly forces into account, because they are unlikely to come.

Based on Harry's experience, given the current situation, unless a miracle happens.

Otherwise, tonight I would have to choose between fighting to the death and dying in battle, unless...

From the corner of his eye, Harry saw the huge spider named Aragog among the spider swarm.

After using his last Blazing Slash to send a warm greeting to a spider, Harry took out the Resurrection Pill that Qiu Zhang had placed on the statue of the one-eyed hunchback witch from his robes and stuffed it into his mouth.

As his spell slots gradually recovered, Harry locked onto Aragog's position among the spiders.

The next second, Harry activated the Phantom Step and came to the top of Aragog's head, swinging his sword at Aragog.

“Blazing flames…”

However, just before Harry activated the Scorching Flame, Aragog, who seemed to have been prepared, suddenly curled up his body with amazing agility and shot a large amount of spider silk at Harry.

The extra-long bone knife allowed Harry to cut the spider in half with one blow.

However, when facing Aragog's range attack, it seems that the bigger the tree, the more wind it attracts.

The bone knife was stuck to the branch by spider silk.

In order to avoid becoming a sitting duck hanging on the branch, Harry had no choice but to let go of his hands and jump down.

Under the tree, Aragog, seeing the defenseless Harry, opened his mouth wide and waited for Harry to fall into it.

Although it was difficult to see a smile on the spider's face, Harry felt that Aragog was clearly smiling at this moment.

As he was falling, Harry had already begun to think about what agile movements he should use to be able to control the fangs that were biting towards him in the first place, and then tear off the pair of highly poisonous fangs.

Contrary to what most people know, Harry, who has killed many big spiders and spider elves, knows.

Although the spider's shell looks scary, it is actually soft and can be broken if you are strong enough.

It is possible to tear the spider's shell like tearing parchment.

Unlike dragon skin, if you don’t have the right tools, you can’t tear it open no matter how hard you try.

However, the lantern hit Harry's thigh as it fell, reminding him that he was not completely defenseless.

Although Harry rarely used the flail as a weapon, he drew the lantern from his waist without hesitation.

Then he twisted his waist and shoulders while falling, allowing himself to use all his strength.

"Supreme Slash!!!"

The next moment, a golden light appeared in the woods, and then it faded away.

Harry stood in front of Gok, who had only half of his body left, holding a slightly deformed lantern covered with various sticky liquids in his hand, and looked around at the giant spiders that stopped moving when the golden light came on.

"Fizz!"

In Harry's roar of 'My little darling, come here! These spiders are your snacks! '

The big spiders fled from the grove at a much faster speed than when they came.

"Wow, Harry... I didn't expect that... I really didn't expect that at all."

Hagrid walked up to Harry and looked at him, who was holding the lantern and looking at him with a look of "Is this all you can do?"

"Lily and James would be very pleased if they saw you now."

Harry looked up at Hagrid and patted him on the waist.

"If they're just happy with this, I should go to the Children's Court."

Hagrid obviously didn't understand what Harry meant by this.

After looking around, Hagrid picked up his huge ham again.

"Harry, could you wait over there for me for a moment?"

Harry looked at Hagrid, then looked down at the lantern in his hand, which was still covered in sticky liquid.

Without saying anything more, he just walked away quietly.

Leave the space to this pair of old friends.

Harry walked to the side and found a raised tree root to sit on, looking at the lantern covered with slime in his hand.

After a little thought, Harry felt that although the lantern was deformed, it would be difficult for him to repair it.

But at least he had to clean the lantern before returning it to Filch, so Harry pulled his wand out of his robes, pointed it at the lantern, said "Whirlwind Clean" and then stood there in a daze.

Harry looked from the lantern in his hand to his wand.
