Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Not long after sunrise, Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim had to be "forced" to wake up.Fastest update

The reason is very simple, and it is also a bit dumbfounding, because the snoring sound of giants eventually caused a small avalanche on the top of the mountain.

Fortunately, at least Maca had noticed some signs in advance that allowed them to avoid the impact of falling snow.

"I counted it just before dawn, and there are a total of eighty-two giants that can be seen below...The one lying on the bottom of the valley by the lake should be the'Gu Ge' among them." When the rushing snow stream gradually stopped. , Maca said to the other two.

In the giant crowd, the leader is generally called "Gu Ge", and since ancient times the militant giant chose the way of Gu Ge, it is naturally a fight.

A giant is a creature with a fighting spirit flowing in its blood, even if it is a battle between the same race, it will be merciless.

Although this kind of infighting is always regarded by wizards as barbaric and rude, in any case, the strength of the giants' combat power and the prosperous vitality must have a lot to do with their habits.

Only in the ancient times, when the giants were still active and free, Gu Ge changed unusually frequently. At that time, Gu Ge always represented the highest level of combat power among the giants.

But now, the largest group of giants in the world has only left this point in the valley. Even if they are still combative, they will inevitably lose many potential combat objects.

Maca had already seen the Gu Ge by the bottom of the valley just now, but no matter how you look at it, he was a lazy guy.

Perhaps when he first ascended to the position of Gu Ge, his fighting power was stronger than other giants. This can be seen from his obviously taller size, but now it is not necessarily.

"Eighty-two... there are only so little left! There used to be a lot of..." Hagrid looked at the valley below, and said with emotion, "At first, it was said that the whole world added up to one More than a hundred tribes, look now..."

Both Hagrid and Madame Maxim were people who had deep connections with giants, and even Madame Maxim, who refused to admit it orally, had complex expressions right now.

To put it bluntly, this is the result of a surge in the number of wizards and Muggles.

Although wizards have hardly launched large-scale wars against giants, as the area of ​​activity of wizards continues to expand, and wizards are always ensuring that Muggles are separated from the magic world, there is less and less space for magical creatures to live. .

However, creatures like giants have always had a great demand for living space.They not only need a place for daily survival, but also relatively free individual space.

The giant not only hunts other creatures for survival, but also often triggers fights because of the fighting spirit of the day.When they live together like they are now, the phenomenon of infighting will happen very frequently.

"Before we set off, Dumbledore and I chatted for a while..." Hagrid stared at the sleeping giants below, and said softly, "Dumbledore said it was our fault, and the wizard drove them together. Son, they have no choice but to live like this..."

"If you want me to say, it's not clear who is right and who is wrong," Maca shook his head. "There have been many magical creatures extinct in history. Since they will be extinct, it means they are not like wizards. Become stronger"

"In ancient times, we wizards seem to have also experienced struggles. Our present life is also the result of our ancestors' hard work."

He thought for a while, then turned his gaze to Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim again.

"Just like you two, the blood of wizards and giants is flowing through your body..."

"I just"

Mrs. Maxim seems to want to use her old "big frame" theory to deny it again.But Maca shook her hand.

"In fact, I occasionally guess how our wizards were born? How did they evolve to what they are now..." Maca said in a deep voice, "Maybe, the blood in our bodies is completely mixed. Isn't it?"

Just as wizards would occasionally awaken "Disguise Magus" like Tonks, the blood of wizards has always been mysterious.In other words, it has always been "suspicious".

"Don't talk about it," Maca took the initiative to put aside the topic during the moment when the three of them were somewhat reverie. "Hagrid, I remember that before you set off, Dumbledore should have asked you to bring some gifts for you. Their Gu Ge? What did they bring?"

Speaking of this topic, Hagrid was clearly energetic.

As mentioned before, giants hate wizards, and they hate wizards’ magic.But what they hate is that wizards use magic to harass or deal with them.

And their favorite gift is actually magic.

"This is Goublay Fairy Fire, Dumbledore did it himself."

Hagrid drew a rather large torch from the package set aside, and when he took off the metal cover on top of the torch, a pretty blue and white flame burst immediately.

The brightness of this kind of flame is not high, it has no temperature, and it has no practical value.But since ancient times, it has another name Eternal Fire.

This is a magic flame made with an ancient magic that has been cracked by scholars. That magic inherits the consistent impression that ancient magic gives people "complex and difficult" and requires a fairly high level of magic to complete.

The reason why this kind of magic is not included in the Hogwarts curriculum is roughly based on the above two points.

The reason why it is called "eternal fire" is precisely because this flame can burn forever, even if the caster dies, it will not affect its magical effects.

But Maca knew that, in essence, this thing was not actually a "magic flame" that burned magic power, not even a "flame".

Because the "burning" of the Gublai fairy fire does not require any fuel, but a kind of magic that is only related to light.

"Anything else?"

This first gift immediately dispelled most of Maca's interest, but to be honest, the giant did like this "flashy" magical item because it looked so "beautiful".

"And this," Hagrid said, and took out another big package. "A helmet made of a fairy is said to be indestructible!"

Like Gublai Fairy Fire, this helmet is also a kind of "great visual effect".

However, this is at least much better than the useless flames. Anyone who carries the words "produced by fairies" is generally not a popular commodity.

Of course, if this thing falls into the hands of giants, it is actually an ornament, anyway, they can't wear it!

After that, Hagrid took out a few more gifts one after another, but those things were obviously more common than the first two, and there was nothing to say.

They waited on the ridge until it was close to noon, and finally found a good time.

To put it bluntly, that Gu Ge finally got up!

Negotiations with giants need to be done step by step. Those big guys are inherently impatient, so the three of them agreed to send a goblatt fairy fire first.After agreeing to give the next gift the next day, he must leave the giant tribe immediately.

Afterwards, Hagrid, who seemed to be the tallest, took the lead, raised the Gubrai fairy fire high above his head, and walked towards the valley below.

When a few giants took the lead to notice these "malnourished little guys", with a roar, the atmosphere of the giant tribe became depressed.

"Hold the gift high and stare at Gu Ge's position, no other giants need to look."

This is the custom of foreigners expressing their hope to meet Gu Ge when they step into the giant's territory, just like the three of Maca and others are doing.

When they were truly standing on the same plane, they finally felt the most intuitive sense of oppression stemming from their body shape.

Maca is of course the shortest here, he is less than 6 feet tall.

When he walked among the giants that were twenty feet up at every turn, even if he didn't need to be afraid at all with his strength, he couldn't help but a little dignified.

Because they weren't here to fight this time, creatures like giants are easy to fight with them, but if you want to get along with them, you have to take a bit more effort.

Fortunately, the giants of the rules handed down since ancient times still understand.

As the three of them headed all the way to that valley at the bottom of the lake, even if the giants on both sides were frequently restless, the traditional customs deeply imprinted in their bones made these "violent frenziers" forcibly suppressed the flames of war in their hearts.

"Roar"

A giant who was closer to them screamed at them, causing Mrs. Maxim to tremble.

In the end, they finally approached the lake with steady steps, and there was only a short distance from that Gu Ge.At the same time, the previously restless giants gradually calmed down.

Getting closer, Maca discovered that thick ice had actually formed on the surface of this lake, but it was broken by those giants with great force.

The Gu Ge of the giant tribe was lying on the edge of the lake at this time. When Maca and the others arrived here, he was roaring and asked the people of the tribe to feed him food.

Unlike other giants who only used large, rough animal skins to cover their parts, this Gu Ge wore a set of old leather armor that was passed down from generation to generation.

Since ancient times, giants have lived poorly and in vain, but in ancient times, when wizard wars were frequent, giants also participated as mercenary forces.

Maca knew that this set of equipment should have survived those chaotic periods.

"Albus Dumbledore, a gift to the giant Gouge, as a tribute.")!!
