Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 350

The giant on the top of the mountain didn't know what he was doing, and caused an avalanche just before dawn...

Just after dawn the next day, Ivan got up, with two dark circles under his eyes. Sirius, Hagrid and Mrs. Maxime were already sitting at the simple dining table in the tent. Hot coffee.

After breakfast, the four of them went down like this!

This is really a very special experience, Ivan saw a lot of giants found them, yelled there, and made rude shouts, but they didn't come over because they saw Hagrid and Maxim holding high overhead gift.

Those goats are their favorite food.

As for the Gublai Immortal Fire, the quietly burning light blue flame made them feel awed.

At this moment, even the stupidest giant feels the power of magic in the flames...

They watched the four people walking into the territory quietly, the expressions on their faces were indescribably wonderful.

Compared with the surrounding giants, Ivan's slender body is like a rag doll.

He had no doubt that if that huge fist hit him, it would definitely kill him with one punch.

These giants are war machines, fearsome behemoths born for war.

Chapter 761 Giant Gu Ge

Ivan resisted the urge to pull out the wand. The giants were in awe of magic and liked to feel the mysterious power of magic, but they hated wizards pointing their wands at them and using magic on them, which would make things worse.

Until now, he finally understood why Dumbledore must have sent people all the way to win over these giants.

Just imagine the shock and sense of domination brought by a terrifying enemy as large as a mountain appearing on the battlefield...

If these giants all turn to Voldemort, his dark power will increase several times, and few wizards are the opponents of giants.

Facing such a behemoth, most people don't even have the courage to fight.

They had already arrived around the lake, and Aiwen looked around and saw more and more giants gathering around.

He didn't know how the other three felt, but his heart was beating hard.

Although Ivan has seen many dark creatures, none of them can give people an intuitive visual stimulation like giants.

Giants were invincible in ancient times to defeat giant beasts, and humans once built high walls to try to resist giants.

Fortunately, the number of giants has become very small, and that dark age is gone forever.

Otherwise, one day, mankind will recall the fear of being once dominated by them, and the humiliation of being imprisoned in a birdcage.

"Let's pay Gogo a present in honor!" Hagrid shouted, speaking in English.

Most of the giants couldn't understand what he was saying, and shouted meaninglessly and rudely, but a few giants wearing some clothes clearly understood, they turned their heads and ran to the top of the opposite mountain, making a loud bang... …

"They went to inform the leader, we just wait here." Sirius whispered.

Ivan took the opportunity to look around. Before they came in, the giants were scattered around the lake in piles.

A group of giants closest to Aiwen seem to be cooking food. They don't know where to get a huge stone pot, which is as big as Voldemort's resurrection, and meat and some grass root-like things are being cooked in it.

This should be a giant family, consisting of a slightly thin female giant and three strong male giants. They also have two children, young giants who look young at first glance. Of course, these two guys already have three giants. Alvin is so tall!

Hiding behind their parents, they looked curiously at the four people who entered the camp, and their eyes finally fell on Ivan.

Alvin smiled at them, and he responded with a rude growl indeed.

At this moment, the giants who had left at first ran back again, and they rushed into the crowd in a hurry.

"Humans, Gu Ge wants to see you, come with me with a gift!" A very old giant said, he was wearing a brown robe, which was relatively neat, just like a normal wizard, but it looked like he had been wearing it for a long time, It's a style from decades ago.

This suit seems to have been conjured with a magnification spell, and no one is sure to tailor it to the giant's figure.

They followed the old giant to the top of the opposite mountain. The giants around the lake seemed to be afraid of this place and did not follow.

The small path built beside the cliff went straight up, and they walked carefully on it.

This road was built according to the size of giants, which is already very wide for Ivan and the others.

"My name is Herbert!" said the old giant, booming from above his head, "I have been to Poland in the old days, married and had children there, and lived there for a long time, and I like that country ...Of course, that was more than 80 years ago, and then there was a terrible war, and I fled back!"

The old giant said as he walked, his pronunciation was not very pure, but he could barely understand it.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Hagrid and Madame Maxime with dim eyes.

"You two seem to have the blood of giants?"

"My mother's Friedwafer," said Hagrid, looking at him with concern. "Is she, is she still alive?"

"You are the son of Friedwafa?!" The old giant seemed a little surprised, and looked at Hagrid carefully, "She is still alive, but her life is not very good, giants like us who have lived in human society are all Alternative, a very low status existence in the tribe, other giants are not willing to believe us, they think we are not worthy of trust."

"My mother is still alive, where is she now?" Hagrid raised his voice, looking agitated.

"You will see her, son of Friedewafa! She came back and bore two more children, one dead, and the other deformed like you, and very short!" said Herbert, Looking at Mrs. Maxim, "What about you?"

"My father is dead, on the battlefield!" she said simply.

"That's right, most of the giants end up like this, dying in battle!" Herbert turned his head again, "We have killed too many people in the past, but the living are unwilling to learn from the lesson and continue to fight. Humans , what are you doing here?"

"We brought gifts and a message from Dumbledore, hoping to become allies with you!" Sirius said.

He patted Hagrid on the back, motioning for him to calm down.

None of them expected to meet such an easy-to-communicate old giant.

The opponent's thinking was very clear, and he didn't look like a giant at all, but a taller human being.

"Albus Dumbledore?!" said the old giant. "I have heard the name of this wizard. He once opposed killing the last giants in England and helped them leave. He is our friend. I think Kaku Stan would be interested in what he had to say."

Ivan, Sirius, Hagrid, and Madam Maxime looked at each other. Will things really go so smoothly? !

"However, don't have too much hope. What giants need is war, not peace..." Herbert continued, "Dumbledore's ideas rarely have supporters here, people like me Giants are already a different kind, and few giants are willing to communicate with humans. Of course, they are still very happy that you can bring gifts."

Then, he stopped talking, and led Aiwen and the four of them to the top of the mountain.

At the top of the cliff is a large platform, and at the end is a cave, which cannot be seen clearly.

When Aiwen and the others climbed up, the platform was already full of giants. Compared with the giants below, they were taller and bigger, and they all wore simple clothes made of animal skins. Many giants still held weapons in their hands. .

In the middle is a huge stone bed, very simple but very spacious, on which are lying two giants.

One of them was a male giant, very big, 35 feet in length, and very ugly, he looked as heavy as three bull elephants, his bare skin was like a rhinoceros, he kept roaring to be fed by the giant next to him, His hands are busy with other things.

Needless to say, he must be the giant Gugo Kakusi.

In his arms lay a giantess without clothes...

Chapter 762 Grapp

The giantess, perhaps twenty feet tall, was lying on top of Cacus, shaking, eating like him.

She should be his wife, and the giants around seemed to be used to it, and didn't feel anything bad about it.

The scene in front of them was particularly shocking, and Ivan and the others tried their best to keep calm.

The surrounding giants shouted loudly, but Hagrid and Madam Maxim held the gift high, stared at Gu Ge, and ignored the others. In this way, the other giants gradually became quiet.

The four of them walked over until they reached the huge stone bed, and Kakus turned his head to look at them.

His expression was ugly and ferocious, his eyes were fierce, and his body was covered with precious metal products.

Hagrid bowed and placed the gift in front of him.

Kakus directly skipped the goats, looking at the quietly burning Gublai Immortal Fire with great interest.

His wife also stopped, looked at it, and whispered something in Cacus' ear.

Then, Kakus roared a few times, words that Ivan couldn't understand.

"Gu Ge asks you, what is this flame?" the old giant Herbert who brought them to the top of the mountain walked over and said.

Mrs. Maxim explained to him in detail the preciousness of the Gublai Immortal Fire and this eternally burning flame.

Herbert translated the words, and the giants around heard him, and there was a commotion on the platform.

The giants seemed very happy, looking excitedly at the Gublai Immortal Fire, and Kacus nodded in satisfaction.

"It's a gift from Albus Dumbledore to Googol, the giant, in tribute!" said Hagrid.

After understanding what he meant, Kakus nodded again, and he growled a few words in a terrible voice.

"Goog said he took the present!" said Herbert.

"Albus Dumbledore sent word that when the emissary brings presents tomorrow, ask Googo to talk to him," said Hagrid.

Herbert translated it again, and Kacus ignored them, turned around and continued to fiddle with the giantess in his arms...

The four looked at each other, knowing that it was time to leave, they bowed again, and followed Herbert back.

Creatures like giants, especially giants who have never lived in human society, still maintain a rather primitive wildness, and they have no patience to communicate with you. You must proceed step by step, and it is enough to leave a good impression on them.

Now that he accepted the gift, it meant that Kakus had agreed to talk to them.

Ivan and the others followed the old giant off the platform and returned to the lake below.

Ivanse gave Herbert a well-made pocket watch when no one was around, and he looked pleased.

This thing has no meaning to other giants, but a giant like Herbert who has been to human society knows the importance of time.

"Come back tomorrow morning, and I will wait for you here." Herbert said, "Kakus is different from his father, the previous giant, Gugo. He is not too keen on fighting, but likes women, treasures and humans. Items made. If your gift can continue to satisfy him, I think he will agree to your request for an alliance, what is your specific request?"

"Dumbledore agreed to give you a batch of living supplies every year to meet your various needs, but I hope you will not participate in human wars." Sirius said, looking up at Herbert.

"It turned out to be like this, it's very difficult, giants like war, this is our nature." Herbert said, seemed a little worried, "and not everyone in the tribe obeyed Kakus' leadership, there are many powerful The giant wanders outside..."

"You mean Tall Horse?" said Sirius. "We heard his name before we came."

"He is currently the most powerful warrior in the tribe, and there are many people who support him." Herbert lowered his voice, "I heard from the giant living on the mountain that Gao Gaoma had quarreled with Kakus many times. , in flagrant disobedience to his orders."

"Well, we have some presents for him to show our respect, can you help us pass them on?"

"I can try it!" Herbert said, looking around cautiously, "but don't have too much hope, Gao Gaoma is different from Kakus, he is the purest giant, and he is suspicious of human wizards." Strong hostility, he believes that we should rob human wealth, instead of relying on equivalent exchange or charity..."

Ivan took out the gifts for Gao Gaoma, and Herbert hid them in his robe.

"I want to see my mother," said Hagrid suddenly, looking at Herbert. "Where is she now?"

"Come with me. I'm going to go there too. She's on the other side of the mountain. She's not qualified to live by the lake!" said the old giant.

They walked in the other direction along the hillside, where there was a dense jungle.

The entire jungle clearly had traces of the life of giants, and many trees were uprooted and thrown on the ground indiscriminately.

"Sometimes they are too energetic and have no other place to vent, so they come here to pull trees to play!" Herbert pointed to the big tree that fell on the ground and said, "I was young too, and I know the crazy impulse that is hard to contain , but I was much luckier than them, I was living in Poland, there were many things to distract me, and I also met my wife, a human woman. She was once my trophy, and we finally fell in love with each other , and gave birth to two children..."

"Where are they now?" Ivan asked.

"I don't know, after I escaped from Poland, I never saw them again, and they never came to look for me." Herbert said sadly, "In fact, you are the first human beings who have come here in these years. The giants have many descendants outside, but you are the only ones here. I think Friedwafa will be happy, she has also had a good time outside, but the past few years have not been very good."

They walked silently in the woods for more than 20 minutes, getting farther and farther away from the giant's lake camp.

Then, Ivan suddenly saw a huge, smooth mound of soil appearing in front of him.

The mound was nearly as tall as Hagrid, and the surrounding trees had been uprooted.

It was in a small clearing, surrounded by piles of tree trunks and branches like a fence or barricade, keeping a few people out.

But right away, Ivan realized that it was not a mound of dirt, but a sleeping giant.

He looked only sixteen feet tall, and his body was slowly rising and falling with deep, grunting breaths.

"This guy is Glop, Friedwafa's other kid," said the old giant, looking at the giant lying on the ground, and then down at Hagrid. "In terms of age, he should be your mother half-brother."

Chapter 763 Mother and Son

"My brother!" Hagrid murmured, his eyes turning red!

He stared wide-eyed at Gropp in front of him, though he could only see part of it, the head and feet of the other being obscured by the bushes.

Through the dense leaves, Aiwen could see a large mossy rock in the distance.

He thought so at first, but it was actually Grapp's head.

It was almost a ball, covered with curly, thick, windtail-colored hair.

On the top of the head, the edge of a large, bulging ear can be seen, and the head grows directly on the shoulders, with almost no neck in between.

Probably because of Friedwafa, he was rarely dressed, a dirty brown smock that looked as if it had been roughly stitched with animal hides, with a very broad back underneath.
