Charle didn't say how he would solve it, but everyone present, including the Acromantulas, understood.
How else could it be solved?
It was nothing more than eating!
Once the population became excessive, Charle would come and eat the surplus Acromantulas!
However, for the Acromantulas, this was actually acceptable.
After all, cannibalism among their own kind was part of spider nature. Although Acromantulas were social animals, if they faced food shortages, they would also kill weaker companions to fill their bellies.
Sacrificing those weaker Acromantulas to Charle carried no moral burden for them.
But the next moment, Charle thought for a moment, then rummaged through his personal box, pulling out a book.
"I knew it, I remember this book has always been in my box."
Charle threw the Muggle textbook on ecological communities to Aragog. Under Aragog's puzzled gaze, Charle pointed to a curve graph inside and said to Aragog.
"This is a population reproduction rate graph studied by Muggles. You need to remember it well, study it well, and find the population node where your Acromantula colony reproduces fastest."
"Remember, farming must be scientific."
"As for the topic of studying Acromantula ecology, I'll leave it to you."
Looking at the textbook handed to him, Aragog felt a chill in his heart.
This was practically asking him to study how to kill Acromantulas quickly and in large numbers!
He just wanted to ask one question now.
Which idiot assigned this little wizard to Hufflepuff?!
Is this really Hufflepuff?
Even Slytherin couldn't come up with something so vicious!
Lucius and the group of dark wizards who witnessed this scene became even more timid.
It was too terrifying.
Charle's terror wasn't just in his strength; more importantly, this guy didn't treat his enemies as people at all. He used various cruel and ruthless methods that revealed themselves from his very bones without any hesitation.
In a sense, they felt that Charle was even more terrifying than Dumbledore or even Voldemort!
At this moment, having settled the matter of Acromantula farming, and with another Acromantula farming base added to the Forbidden Forest, Charle was in a great mood.
So, his basic goal for coming to the Forbidden Forest this time was achieved.
However, there was one last thing, which was to search for traces of the Paradise Phoenix. This was related to his third magical Accio transformation.
To find the Paradise Phoenix, the map provided by Professor Sprout was certainly very important, after all, that was where the Hufflepuff founder first placed the Paradise Phoenix egg.
However, judging from the fact that subsequent Hufflepuff heads of house found nothing, there must be some variable involved.
At this time, native creatures like Acromantulas, who had lived in the Forbidden Forest for a long time, could be helpful.
Immediately, Charle took out the ancient map that Professor Sprout had given him and asked the Acromantulas to see where this place was.
After seeing the area marked on the map, the Acromantulas said with surprise and uncertainty.
"This place?"
"Isn't this the territory of that group of Unicorns deep in the Forbidden Forest?"
Upon hearing this, Charle's eyebrows raised slightly.
"Unicorns?"
"A group?"
He knew there were Unicorns deep in the Forbidden Forest.
After all, there was a specific description of this in the original work, where Voldemort specifically went to the Forbidden Forest just to drink Unicorn blood to restore some of his magic.
However, Charle hadn't expected that, according to the Acromantulas, there seemed to be more than just one or two Unicorns deep in the Forbidden Forest, but a group?!
At this point, Charle suddenly remembered something, which was that Hagrid, the gamekeeper, seemed to have a lot of Unicorn materials.
For example, blankets and bags woven from Unicorn hair.
It should be known that Unicorn hair was also an extremely precious material. The hair of powerful Unicorns could even be used as material for making wands and was very popular among wizards.
Such a precious material was certainly not bought by Hagrid legitimately; it must have been obtained from the Forbidden Forest.
If there were only one or two Unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, how long would it take Hagrid to collect enough hair to make blankets and bags?
Thinking from this perspective, there should indeed be a group of Unicorns in the Forbidden Forest.
However, this was the most unreasonable part, because Unicorns were not animals that lived in large groups.
These animals were inherently pure and noble, living alone, at most in a small family group of two or three.
In a sense, this was also because Unicorn materials were too coveted. If too many gathered, it would easily attract poachers.
Therefore, large groups of Unicorns were simply not seen in the magical world.
But according to the Acromantulas, there were more than just one or two Unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, at least a dozen or twenty, all concentrated in one area.
This goes against the nature of unicorns!
"Unless they are attracted by something, they will do things that go against their nature and live in groups in this area."
After thinking of this possibility, Charle's eyes lit up.
Unicorn magic is typically sacred magic. What can attract them must be a higher level of sacred magic.
As a legendary magical creature, the Paradise Phoenix's sacred magic is far beyond that of a regular phoenix, making it very likely to attract unicorns.
This means that the Paradise Phoenix must still be in this area and has not disappeared. It has just been concealed by some means, and no one has been able to find it!
Charle immediately had the Acromantulas take him to the unicorns' territory.
Aragog obediently let Charle climb onto its back, and then it began to move through the forest.
Even though it was blind, spiders don't rely much on their eyes to determine direction anyway.
Having stayed in the Forbidden Forest for so many years, Aragog was very familiar with the nearby terrain and moved as if on flat ground.
Coupled with the Acromantula's massive size, a gentle stride could cover a distance of over ten meters, making its speed in the Forbidden Forest even faster than a car.
Half an hour later, they had taken Charle deep into the Forbidden Forest, an unknown distance, until the scent of sacred magic came from an area ahead. Only then did the Acromantulas show disgusted looks and stop one after another.
"Lord Charle, the disgusting smell of those unicorns has drifted over. Their territory is ahead."
Aragog's eyes showed solemnity and apprehension.
They had also wanted the unicorns' territory, after all, this was the center of the Forbidden Forest, and food would be more abundant.
But that group of unicorns was not to be trifled with.
In terms of individual strength, unicorns were inherently stronger than individual Acromantulas, not to mention they possessed sacred magic, which had a restraining effect on Acromantulas.
A dozen unicorns living together in a group were not something they could easily take down.
What's more, every time they stepped onto this area, Aragog and the others would feel a chilling sensation, as if there was some even more powerful sacred magic in this place.
Once that magic awakened, they would be like ants, instantly wiped out.
Because of this, the Acromantulas usually did not approach this area. If it weren't for Charle's urging this time, they wouldn't have come either.
At this moment, as the Acromantulas gathered, silver-white figures also appeared one after another in the Forbidden Forest ahead.
The moonlight shone down, the silver light shimmered, and silver mist filled with sacred magic rose, making the area ahead like a pure land on earth.
In contrast, the Acromantulas outside this area, and Charle, who was standing on the back of an Acromantula, seemed like beings that had crawled out of a dirty hell, twisted and evil.
The unicorns cast disgusted glances. A particularly tall unicorn walked out from the group and snorted.
"Acromantulas? You dirty, dark creatures are not welcome here. Leave quickly!"
After issuing the warning, its gaze immediately fell on Charle.
At first, the unicorns thought Charle had been captured by these Acromantulas.
But soon, seeing the Acromantulas respectfully letting Charle dismount from their backs, the unicorns understood that Charle was the one controlling these Acromantulas.
The unicorn king let out an increasingly disgusted low growl.
"Naturally evil Slytherin little wizard, quickly leave with your minions..."
But the next moment, the words that came out of Charle's mouth made the unicorns freeze for a moment.
Charle said righteously.
"Slytherin? How can you slander me like that?"
"I am from Hufflepuff!"
The unicorns stirred for a moment, their eyes showing human-like suspicion.
Hufflepuff?
When did Hufflepuff get mixed up with Acromantulas?
After the commotion, the unicorn king growled again.
"No matter which house you are from, you are not welcome here!"
Hearing this, Charle sneered and retorted.
"I heard that unicorns are the purest and most righteous creatures. Now it seems that reputation is not deserved."
The unicorn king's eyes revealed anger.
"What did you say?!"
Charle's sneer grew even stronger.
"You were just trying to expel a Hufflepuff student from the Forbidden Forest? Is there anything more shameless than that?"
"The Forbidden Forest was originally established by our Hufflepuff house. Its legal ownership has belonged to Hufflepuff since ancient times. This is our Hufflepuff territory. You are the outsiders, and you dare to expel me? Have you no shame?"
"Furthermore, this area was also left by the founder of Hufflepuff for future generations. You are gathering here and occupying it, attempting to claim the clearly designated inheritance of the Hufflepuff founder for yourselves."
"Words like thief and robber are not enough to describe you!"
The unicorns were stunned by what he said, and then felt a pang of guilt.
Because what Charle said seemed to make some sense, they were indeed outsiders, and they had gathered here because of something hidden within.
Even when the previous few Hufflepuff heads of house came, they quickly drove them away. Now, they truly had no confidence to refute Charle.
However, the things here were too important to the Unicorns. Their entire tribe had guarded this place for hundreds of years, and it was absolutely impossible for Charle to bring the Acromantulas here.
Therefore, the Unicorn King's gaze gradually turned cold.
"Little wizard, this is the last warning. Leave this place quickly, otherwise we cannot guarantee that we won't hurt you."
Upon hearing this, Charle also revealed a brilliant smile.
"You should have said so earlier. In the end, it still comes down to strength."
"Since that's the case..."
His gaze fell upon the sacred magic emanating from the Unicorns, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes, his lips slowly curving into a sneer.
"I'd like to see, with just this weak and powerless sacred magic, what makes you think you can challenge me?"
"And what darkness can this bit of sacred magic truly dispel?"
The next moment, under the shocked gaze of the Unicorns, Charle waved his wand again.
A cold, platinum-gold light shone, and the Sacred Land poured forth. The indescribable form of the Only I Am The Honored God Spell also appeared before the Unicorns.
Looking at that silent, profound, indescribable form where divinity and evil intertwined, the Unicorn King felt a sense of terror.
"This..."
"What is this?"
Charle grinned.
"This is true holiness!"
"Powerful!"
"Ruthless!"
"Crushing everything!"
"All that stands before me is darkness!"
"You want to stop me?"
"Then you, too, are evil that should be crushed!"
As he spoke, the indescribable demon god's body was wrapped in the platinum-gold Sacred Land, flames raging, as if to annihilate all darkness.
Immediately after, the ancient dragon head on the demon god's body lifted high, and sacred magic, almost tangible to the naked eye, gathered.
The next moment, it transformed into a resounding dragon roar, whistling out!
A platinum-gold sacred roar!
Boiling sacred magic poured out, engulfing the Unicorns.
The Unicorns let out cries of terror.
Compared to this extremely powerful and extreme sacred magic, their silver-white magic was like child's play.
Perhaps the total amount of magic from a dozen Unicorns was not weaker than this sacred roar, but the difference in the nature of the magic was too great; they simply couldn't resist!
Sacred magic might not be able to kill these Unicorns, but it could make them feel an overwhelming majesty, as if facing a being far superior and more sacred than themselves.
The bodies of the Unicorns trembled continuously, but they were holding on, unwilling to bow their heads.
The Unicorn King was even struggling to resist this sacred dragon roar, raising its head and letting out a long neigh.
"You can destroy us, but you can never make us bow our heads or surrender."
"We have guarded this place for generations, for hundreds of years, and we will never give up at this time!"
Charle's eyes lit up when he heard the Unicorns' declaration.
Hearing this, it was even more certain.
The Paradise Phoenix egg must still be here, perhaps even close to hatching, which was why the Unicorns were so desperate.
But then, his brows furrowed.
Compared to the easily submissive dark wizards, Acromantulas, and others, the Unicorns were much harder to break.
It was clear they had encountered a power they couldn't resist, yet they were still resisting, looking utterly unwilling to surrender.
It was possible they would truly rather their entire tribe die than let Charle find the Paradise Phoenix egg.
"Trouble, trouble, really troublesome."
"That's why I hate it the most when beings with faith become my enemies. Even destroying them seems unable to achieve my goal."
Charle's brows were tightly furrowed. The next moment, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.
A moment later, he stopped the sacred dragon roar of the Only I Am The Honored God Spell and looked at the Unicorns with appreciative eyes.
"Good, you are very good. Congratulations on passing my test."
The Unicorns, who had just breathed a sigh of relief from the dragon roar, looked at Charle with bewildered faces.
"???"
"What are you talking about?"
"What test?"
Charle said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Of course, it's a test to see if you are qualified to follow the Paradise Phoenix."
"The Paradise Phoenix is about to revive. That is a creature from mythology, the most pure and sacred existence. Even phoenixes pale in comparison. How can ordinary beings follow and serve it?"
"Therefore, of course, I have to test you. Now, I am very satisfied with the result."
"You have served as guardians for hundreds of years, and you have merit. You did not give up when facing an insurmountable enemy. Only with such character are you qualified to follow the Paradise Phoenix. Congratulations, you have passed the test."
The unicorns stirred.
The unicorn king was also stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
"Don't try to deceive us!"
"What kind of existence are you? What right do you have to test us on behalf of the Paradise Phoenix?"
Charle's eyes showed pity, and he said faintly.
"Pitiful. Have you still not realized what I am, even now?"
"Think carefully with your brains. What in the world can possess such powerful and sacred magic?"
"And what would know about the Paradise Phoenix, come here specifically, and even test you for the sake of the Paradise Phoenix? What is the motive behind this?"
"..."
"Now, have you still not figured it out?"
The unicorns thought along with Charle's words.
Possessing such powerful sacred magic, and being so concerned about the Paradise Phoenix...
The unicorn king showed a look of utter astonishment and disbelief.
"Could it be, could it be that you..."
"You are also a Paradise Phoenix?!"
The next moment, Charle let out an appreciative laugh.
Instantly, he used his Accio, transforming into a large bird with golden feathers, elegant and noble, shaped like a phoenix. It flapped its wings and flew into the Sacred Land, standing on the head of the demon god summoned by the Only I Am The Honored God Spell.
"Congratulations, you guessed correctly."
"That's right, I am also a Paradise Phoenix, and a distant elder relative of the one you are guarding."
The unicorn king and the unicorns were stunned, whispering among themselves, seemingly accompanied by arguments.
The unicorn king couldn't help but ask a question.
"Since you are a Paradise Phoenix, why is your magic so strange?"
"That thing doesn't look like Paradise Phoenix magic at all!"
"That sound just now, why did it sound like the dragon roar of a legendary ancient dragon?"
Charle, however, said with a straight face and no change in heart, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Have you seen Paradise Phoenix magic?"
"Do you understand, or do I understand?"
"Do you know why the Paradise Phoenix is the most sacred and powerful magical creature? Because we constantly improve, unlike you who just rely on bloodline instinct and don't strive for progress."
"My magic is all-encompassing. Since I have seen ancient dragon magic, of course I have to absorb it."
"What, do you understand Paradise Phoenix magic better than I, a Paradise Phoenix, do?"
The unicorn king thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.
He wasn't a Paradise Phoenix, how could he understand this?
Such powerful sacred magic should only be possessed by a Paradise Phoenix.
At this point, the unicorn king completely lowered his head.
Charle transformed back into human form and said with satisfaction.
"Alright, take me to see my only relative in this world."
The unicorn king hesitated for a moment, then nodded, ordering the other unicorns to stay here, while it led Charle towards a place in the Forbidden Forest.
Soon, when they arrived at a rock face, Charle's gaze subtly shifted.
Perhaps ordinary wizards couldn't sense it, but with his mental power that had already leaped to the medieval level, he could clearly feel a vast sacred magic hidden deep within the rock face.
The unicorn king whispered.
"The Paradise Phoenix egg is here."
"After the Hufflepuff founder's protective magic failed, we sensed the aura of the Paradise Phoenix and gathered here spontaneously, bringing the Paradise Phoenix egg here to guard it."
"We also used our magic to create a protective barrier outside. Not only does it help with the phoenix's hatching, but it also isolates its aura."
Charle finally understood upon hearing this.
No wonder every Hufflepuff Head of House who came here found nothing. These unicorns' protective measures were truly well-done.
Following the Unicorn King, Charle then proceeded underground through a crack in the rock face.
Soon, a soft, silvery-white light appeared before his eyes, emanating from the unicorns' magic.
And deep within the silvery-white light, a point of golden magic shimmered.
The source of that golden magic was an egg with fire-like patterns on it.
The moment he saw the egg, a fervent emotion surged in Charle's heart.
The Paradise Phoenix egg, found!
The Unicorn King, relieved, spoke to Charle.
"You've come at the right time. Actually, there's a problem with this egg, and we are powerless to do anything about it."
"The phoenix egg requires powerful sacred magic to hatch."
"The founder of Hufflepuff prepared a sacred spell for it, but with the passage of time, that spell has become ineffective."
"Later, we used our own magic to create a hatching environment for it, and that did have an effect. But in the past few decades, the phoenix egg has remained in this state, unable to progress further."
"We suspect that our sacred magic is not powerful enough, which is why we cannot fully hatch the phoenix."
"Since you are of the same race and also possess such powerful sacred magic, it is perfectly suitable for you to hatch the phoenix."
Charle's eyes showed understanding.
He also finally understood why this phoenix egg was not mentioned in the original story.
It seemed that under normal circumstances, this thing simply couldn't hatch.
After all, when it came to sacred magic, even someone as strong as Dumbledore was strong in Transfiguration, and the intensity of his sacred magic was far less than Charle's.
If Charle hadn't appeared in this world, the phoenix would have had no conditions for hatching at all!
Immediately after, Charle waved his wand, unleashing a powerful sacred spell once more.
The platinum-gold light swept like a tide, engulfing the silvery-white light emitted by the unicorns and enveloping the phoenix egg.
Instantly, Charle could feel the egg of the phoenix radiating joyful and excited emotions.
Even the fire-like patterns on the egg now glowed with golden-red light!
"Three months, providing this intensity of sacred magic every day, at most three months, the last Paradise Phoenix in this world will hatch!"
Charle clenched his fist.
The Paradise Phoenix, a myth left over from ancient times, had already become extinct in the medieval era.
The power of its sacred magic was naturally self-evident, and it would be an epic enhancement for the Sacred Land and the Only I Am The Honored God Spell.
Not to mention its magic also had the effect of prolonging life, even stronger than the Philosopher's Stone.
To obtain its bloodline to complete the third type of Accio transformation, just three months, Charle could afford to wait!
At this moment, the Unicorn King, witnessing the anomaly in the phoenix egg, also became excited.
Their race had guarded the phoenix for hundreds of years.
If the phoenix was born in its generation, they would be able to follow it, and their centuries-old wish would be fulfilled.
For this, the Unicorn King would spare no effort!
Upon hearing Charle say that the phoenix would hatch in at most three months, the Unicorn King couldn't help but tear up.
Just then, Charle turned to look at the Unicorn King, a strange look in his eyes.
Getting a phoenix in three months was true.
But unicorns were also magical creatures with very powerful magic, and they couldn't be let go either.
There was only one phoenix, and it couldn't be bred, but unicorns could, providing a continuous stream of points!
Therefore, Charle said to the Unicorn King.
"Don't rush to cry yet, I have a little situation here."
Saying that, Charle coughed twice.
"Hatching the phoenix egg, even for me, is a huge burden."
"It's not like the old days, my magic is weakening. I need to damage my origin to hatch it, so..."
"Shouldn't you provide some nutritional fees?"
Upon hearing this, the Unicorn King was first stunned, then a look of guilt appeared in its eyes, and its hooves restlessly pawed the ground twice.
"Nutritional fees... it seems we should provide them."
"But we have no money. We have guarded the phoenix here for generations, and we have no treasures."
It felt a little guilty.
"It seems we don't have anything to offer..."
Seeing the Unicorn King's appearance, Charle was a little speechless.
This guy was straightforward, but he didn't seem very smart?
Then, Charle said.
"You don't need to offer any treasures."
"How about this, unicorn blood contains powerful sacred magic and can barely replenish my losses."
"How about setting up a voluntary blood donation station among the unicorns in the future? Each unicorn comes regularly to donate blood voluntarily as my nutritional fee. What do you think?"
"How about donating blood once every seven days?"
The Unicorn King stood there, seemingly thinking about the voluntary blood donation Charle mentioned.
Then, upon hearing about donating blood once every seven days, the Unicorn King shook its head repeatedly.
"No, no..."
"Seven days is too long. What if your nutrition doesn't keep up and affects the hatching of the phoenix?"
"Three days, at least donate blood once every three days!"
After Charle nodded in astonishment, the Unicorn King looked even more overjoyed and said to Charle.
"Thank you, as long as we donate a little blood, we are satisfied. As expected of the phoenix's elder, you are indeed kind-hearted!"
"You are truly a good person!"
