(); The moment the two sides looked at each other, it seemed that even time had stood still.

Lily's hair was messy, with a few twigs in it, and Snape even had a few scratches on his face.

Apparently, they were accidentally injured because they were too eager on their way back.

After seeing what Karan did with their own eyes, their faces were full of expressions of disbelief, even a little fearful.

Karan looked at them calmly and clenched the ash wand in his hand several times.

Eventually, he just asked, "Where are the others?"

Lily's eyes widened and her lips trembled, unable to say anything.

After Snape opened his mouth, he said in a hoarse voice: "We gave Potter to Peter, and asked them to run back to the professors for help, and then we rushed back... rushed back... ....Ahem..."

While saying this, he suddenly coughed violently.

On the way back, they didn't stop for a moment, which made him unable to adapt to his thin body, and he has not fully recovered until now.

"Healing as ever."

"Healing as ever."

Karan cast two healing spells on them from a distance, which made them look better, and the wounds on Snape's face also disappeared little by little.

But after that, Karan left them alone and didn't say anything more.

Although he wasn't in a hurry, that didn't mean he was wasting his time.

At this time, a glass bottle floating under the giant claw was filled with venom. It was replaced by another empty glass bottle and automatically flew back to Karan's hand.

Karan carefully tightened the cork of the bottle, and after carefully placing it in his side pocket, he walked towards the other Acromantula and continued to cast the cutting spell.

After seeing this, Lily couldn't stand the weird atmosphere here anymore.

And Karan, who seemed even weirder at this time.

"What on earth are you doing?"

She asked again with a trembling voice, and there was even a cry in her tone.

There was a brief silence.

"You ask me what I'm doing?"

Karan didn't look back, he said softly while controlling the glass bottle to fly under the cut giant claw.

"I'm saving you, Lily."

"Save us?"

At this time, Snape bravely walked to an Acromantula that no longer had venom flowing out. After observing silently for a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Is this the effect of the Living Hell Decoction?"

"Those living hell potions made in the potion room?"

He frowned tightly, the expression on his face gradually turning into pain.

"I thought you really wanted to help me, but you just..."

"only......"

His thin and yellow cheeks suddenly turned red. After thinking about all this in his mind, he could not continue talking.

"You're just taking advantage of us."

In the end, it was Lily who said the complete sentence in a low voice.

"You are using us to help you prepare these living hell decoctions. This was your plan from the beginning."

She murmured in a low voice: "And these Acromantulas, did you know about their existence when you first established the potion preparation room?"

"And it just so happens that tonight, you brought Sifu and me here..."

"Karan..."

Lily looked straight at Karan's back without looking back.

"What are you talking about, Karan."

Her tone even sounded pleading, hoping that Karan could deny everything she suspected.

Karan finally stopped ignoring them.

He turned around again and looked directly at the two of them.

"Yes, that's exactly what I planned."

Surprisingly, he admitted all this bluntly.

"But it's not taking advantage."

He said to Lily who couldn't help but take two steps back: "I just need your help."

"Just like now."

"Are you willing to continue helping me?"

At the same time as he said this, two pairs of dragon leather gloves flew out from his side pockets and slowly rested in front of the two of them.

But no one made any move.

Lily shook her head in fear. She took a few steps back again, trying to avoid the dragon skin gloves in front of her.

Snape didn't even look at him. He pursed his lips tightly and stared at Kahlan. The expression on his face had changed from pain to anger.

"You're just using us!"

"Look at everything you've done and what happened tonight, you've just been using me and Lily!"

He finally shouted, his voice echoing in the dark forbidden forest.

"You betrayed our trust in you, but we still wanted to rush back to save you. We even risked our lives!"

"But you just..."

"You're just taking advantage of us."

"Total use!"

He gritted his teeth and said the last words.

But the expression on Karan's face was calm from beginning to end.

"if not?"

he asked suddenly.

"Otherwise, what do you think I should say to you?"

"I should tell you that my target from the beginning has been these Acromantulas, this group of dark creatures living in the Forbidden Forest?"

"And they can break into Hogwarts Castle at any time, especially at night, especially when we're asleep."

"When all this happened, the professors had no time to stop them. The Acromantula is a dark creature with the highest danger level, and all of us may die!"

"They can do it all if they want to."

"Because they are creatures of darkness, that is their nature."

"Do you think I should tell you all this, Snape?"

Callan stared at Snape's complicated face and asked him, "Do you want to know all this?"

At this time, a faint sound came out, accompanied by a slight clicking sound.

"We never hurt anyone..."

The three people immediately turned their heads and looked over. Karan recognized the Acromantula, it was Aragog.

During the process of collecting the venom, Karan accidentally cut an excessively large wound on it, and blood was still flowing out from there.

Aragog said weakly: "I am Hagrid's pet. Out of respect for him, I have never hurt anyone, and the same is true for my children."

"Tonight is because we were framed inexplicably. Even if we didn't have such an instinct, other animals would have gone crazy."

"We spiders like darkness and silence. We will not attack the castle, let alone harm the students and professors there."

"Please don't take away our venom, it will shorten our lifespan. We have never hurt anyone."

It repeated again, its tone full of groveling pleading.

"Take my venom, but please let my children go..."

"Please, kid..."

Lily couldn't believe what she was hearing, whether it was about Hagrid's pets or how they were being framed.

But what she wants most now is to get Karan back to normal.

"Did...did you hear that, Karan?"

She suppressed the uneasiness and flinching in her heart and asked Karan: "Did you hear what it said?"

Karan turned to look at Lily and raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, I hear you."

He said in a calm tone: "Crazy element has a certain counteracting effect on the living hell decoction. This is a very interesting research direction. Maybe we can try it in the future."

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Lily finally couldn't help shouting, she even seemed a little hysterical.

"These spiders have never harmed anyone, and they are Hagrid's pets. If you do this, how will you explain it to Hagrid in the future? And the professors in the school, you..."

Karan stared at Lily silently and said nothing.

But Lily had noticed that his eyes were gradually becoming more indifferent, which made her words pause for a moment.

"It does not matter."

Karan shook his head slowly and said softly.

"None of that matter."

"But the Acromantula is a creature of darkness. Do you understand what this means?"

"They are naturally cruel, violent, and even feed on humans."

"It has nothing to do with madness, it's just their instinct."

“Instincts that will stay with them for their entire lives.”

At this time, Aragog's giant claws made another slight clicking sound, which seemed to be refuting Karan's words.

Karan turned his head, walked slowly to Aragog, and looked directly into its eight dark eyes expressionlessly.

"Please...please..."

Aragog was just repeating this sentence, but it seemed that he had exhausted his last bit of strength.

Karan looked down at its head and said indifferently.

"Actually, those are not important."

"But at least you shouldn't be at Hogwarts."

"This is your original sin."

When he said this, Karan suddenly leaned down, and he put his face next to Aragog's dark head without fear. Lily, who was not far away, couldn't help but scream in surprise.

But Karan was not disturbed and even smiled.

"Actually, you should have thanked me."

"I offer you a better option."

"At least it will keep you alive."

He turned his head and looked at the dark head. After a while, he suddenly laughed softly and said, "Why, aren't you happy?"

"Then let me thank you first."

A glass vial filled with venom flew into his hand, and Karan held it before Aragog's eyes.

"These venoms will definitely fetch a good price."

"I'll accept the reward."

Karan's voice was lower, and his tone was full of ridicule and disgust.

"Damn beast."

At this time, Aragog finally spoke.

"devil......"

"devil......"

It kept chanting.

"Hagrid will never let you go..."

Karan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"devil?"

He swung the ash wand back and forth in front of Aragog's eyes several times, which frightened him into saying nothing.

"You should be lucky."

Karan said unclearly.

"You can only be thankful."

After saying this, Karan waited patiently for a while, but Aragog made no move to attack him.

Even though both parties knew in their hearts, Aragog could already do this at this time, especially when the distance was so close.

"Wise choice."

Karan raised his eyebrows, he straightened up again, looked at Lily and Snape, and said to them.

"Both the existence of the Acromantulas themselves, and Hagrid's foolish decision to feed them."

"These mistakes may not be punished as they should be, but they must be corrected."

"I'm just saving myself, and all of you."

"So now, are you willing to help me?"

The dragon leather gloves flew in front of them again, and the two of them remained silent, their expressions becoming more and more tangled.

But this time, no one continued to retreat.

Karan didn't force them too much. He just walked to another Acromantula and continued the work of collecting venom.

At the same time, he was silently observing Lily and Snape.

During the previous rescue of Ted, Callan also heard Snape constantly using dark magic.But now it seems that this has not affected their relationship.

Or maybe it was just because these events happened so suddenly that Lily had no time to think too much.

After another moment, Lily finally spoke.

"Since they are so dangerous, shouldn't we tell the professors?"

"And Principal Dumbledore, he will definitely be willing to deal with these matters."

"Let's go back, Karan, and don't keep doing this."

Karan looked back at Lily, shook his head and said, "It's not important."

At this time, Snape suddenly sarcastically said: "Are you doing it for these venoms? Because they are very valuable?"

But Karan just continued to shake his head and repeated, "That's not important either."

"Then what's important?"

Snape's lips trembled violently, and he said angrily: "Are you using us with high-sounding excuses?"

"Is this the only thing that matters?"

He still hasn't completely forgiven Karan.

He originally thought that no matter how bad Karan behaved, at least he was sincerely helping him.

In fact, it does.

But after seeing what he saw before him, he could no longer use this excuse to excuse himself.

Karan did not look back, but the words he spoke were very straightforward.

"It is undisputed that I am indeed taking advantage of you."

"But in many cases, exploitation and goodwill do not conflict, and they can coexist."

"I am really helping you, even if this is not understood by you."

At the end, Karan added again.

"But that's not important either."

"It's not that important."

After hearing these words, the expression on Snape's face suddenly froze, his cheeks twitched abnormally, and finally he just whispered angrily.

"I shouldn't have come back."

Snape turned around. He didn't want to stay here any longer.

Lily looked around at them at a loss. She quickly stretched out her hand to stop Snape: "Sev, don't...!"

At this time, the three of them suddenly turned their backs to the Acromantulas.

Aragog finally moved.

Violent clicking sounds were heard one after another, and it used all its remaining strength to rush towards Lily and Snape.

Snape, who was in a rage, had not had time to come to his senses, but Lily quickly turned around.

But when she raised her wand, she hesitated for no reason.

The distance between Aragog and her was getting closer, and when Snape turned back with wide eyes, he could already see the two figures reflected in his dark eyes.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

A spell was suddenly shot from a distance, which directly broke off one of Aragog's long legs, and even affected its lower abdomen.

This allowed it to narrowly avoid the two of them and fall to their sides.

Karan strode over with a cold face. He ignored the two people who seemed to be frightened and looked carefully at Aragog's wound, where a large amount of blood was constantly coming out.

"I never thought of hurting her..."

Aragog said weakly: "I respect Hagrid, and I will not harm any student."

"I just wanted to hold her hostage to protect my children."

"Please let them go..."

"Child, please..."

Karan's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he straightened up again.

Aragog is dead.

"dark magic......"

At this time, Lily finally said with a trembling voice: "I heard its appeal. Karan, I just want you to leave here to avoid being further affected by black magic."

"Don't you realize this yet, Karan?"

"You have completely changed. You no longer look like..."

"Black magic?" Karan, who had his back turned to the two of them, suddenly asked, his tone so cold that he seemed like a different person.

He suddenly turned around, reached out and grabbed Lily's collar, and asked her viciously: "Are you kidding me?"

"You think you can affect me with just those outrageous black magic?"

"What kind of garbage do you think I am?"

"It's dead!"

Karan pointed at Aragog's body and roared angrily: "It shouldn't have died, at least not at this time, here!"

"But it's dead!"

"Just to save you, I had to kill it!"

"What the hell are you thinking!"

Lily was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and her face turned pale.

But Snape didn't hesitate at all. He immediately raised his wand, pointed it at Callan, and yelled at him: "Let her go!"

"All petrochemical!"

Karan didn't hesitate, he immediately cast a spell and hit Snape who had no time to react.

Snape's arms snapped to his sides, his legs stood upright, and he fell to the ground with a plop.

Callan released his grip on Lily, turned around, walked up to Snape, and looked directly into his helpless and angry eyes.

"It's just collecting some venom. It's just some good use. Why did you hesitate for so long?!"

Karan also said viciously to him, his tone full of ridicule and contempt.

"Based on this, how can you have the face to learn black magic?!"

"What qualifications do you have to be a dark wizard?"

He said all this without any pretense, until Snape's eyes were filled with only panic and dead silence.

Karan stood up again, glanced at the few remaining Acromantulas with a cold face, and finally took back all the venom bottles in advance.

Then a large number of small glass bottles containing blue potions flew out from his side pocket. These potions were full of fluorescence, and they were poured drop by drop on the sleeping Acromantulas.

These are the diluted venom of the Crouching Wing Demon, which can eliminate the bad memories of the Acromantulas.

This includes everything they have experienced in a short period of time.

Finally, after everything was sorted, Karan asked Lily in a deep voice, who still didn't know what to do, "Where's the invisibility cloak?"

Lily was so frightened that she took out Steve's invisibility cloak.

Karan didn't rush to pick it up. He turned to look at the sad Snape and easily lifted the spell on him.

"Do you want to walk back by yourself, or will I take you back by force?"

Snape stood up silently, his movements became stiffer, and he lowered his head deeply, not looking at either of them.

The invisibility cloak automatically floated up from Lily's hand and enveloped the three of them little by little.

"let's go."

Karan finally said coldly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Eventually, their figures gradually disappeared from this area.

After a while, a figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the dense forest, gradually turning from transparent to solid.

It was Dorcas Meadows.

She narrowed her light blue almond eyes and looked far away in the direction where the three people left.

"caught you."

She whispered softly.
