Chapter 759: The Giant Tribe
The lighthouse is the highest place on the shoreline, and it is an eternal truth to stand high and look far away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The dark wizards who occupied the lighthouse must have been looking for a vantage point to observe the Kraken and the Matrodge, or something from which they could clearly see everything on the sea, but what did they put the lighthouse out for?!
Evan couldn't figure out how well Sirius, Hagrid, and Madame Maxime were going well compared to him.
The Giants had a small contact with the nearby wizards, and they learned that the current Gugo of the Giant Tribe was a giant named Kakus, the son of the leader of the previous generation of Giants.
Perhaps due to his blood succession, his rule was not secure, and he had a giant called Gao Gao Ma who was much stronger than him.
Many giants believe that Gao Gao Ma is more powerful than Kakus and more qualified to serve as the giant Gugo.
These may also be rumors and have not been confirmed.
In the eyes of wizards, giants are mostly simple-minded, but they also have quite complex social structures, which are not as imagined.
After discussing this, Sirius, Hagrid, and Maxim eventually decide to contact Kakus first, but also prepare an equally valuable gift for the tall horse, just in case......
By the time Evan returned, the three of them had already discussed and were ready to go.
Not long ago, Hagrid had gone to town to buy a lot of dead goats, which were the giants' favorite food, and he and Sirius carried sacks of goats, and Madame Maxim had set out magic in the camp, and the four of them set off.
"Have you found the location of those giants?" asked Aven, struggling down the rugged mountain path.
He had to exert all his strength to keep up with Hagrid and Madame Maxime.
"Found it, on the other side of the ridge, I saw it the night before, and they were lit with little campfires, huge shadows, like mountains moving!" Hagrid said, gesturing with his empty hand, "The giants were about twenty feet, and the big ones were probably twenty-five feet, much taller than me. I didn't alarm them, and after confirming that it was their territory, I came straight back!"
"How many of them are there?"
"I think there must be at least a hundred, which is not much compared to the heyday!" said Hagrid, tappling the sack over his shoulder, "You know, there used to be many giants, at least a hundred tribes in the world, and they are gradually dying out. The wizards killed some, but most of them were cannibalistic. They are dying faster now, and the giants are not fit to live together like that. Dumbledore said it was our fault, that the wizards had driven them far away, and that they had no choice but to stay together in order to survive......"
Giants are powerful, but they belong to the species that are eliminated and backward.
They are decreasing at a certain rate, and it is impossible to say that one day in the future, they will actually become extinct from the face of the earth.
At that time, wizards could only see this creature from the books, and look at the appearance of the trolls to imagine giants.
As they do now, speculate on their ancestor, the Cyclops, in the form of giants......
"At the current rate, we can be in the Giant's Territory before dinner today!" Sirius said, "and to be on the safe side, we'd better not sneak in at night and wait until tomorrow morning before entering the Giant's Territory." ā
"We discussed it before, and when the time comes, Orim and I will walk in front with a gift for the giant Gugokachus. Hagrid continued, "Sirius, Aven, you two are in charge of giving the other gifts to the tall ponies and the other giants. ā
"But we don't know which one is the tall horse. Evan said.
"You'll know, he's the strongest in the tribe, and you can't be mistaken. Madame Maxim said, "This is a long battle, and we must be prepared to be mentally prepared to spend a long time in the giants' territory before we can convince them." ā
"Yes, living with giants is truly an unforgettable experience!" Sirius said, "It's rare for a wizard to have such an experience, Aven, and it will definitely be a sensation if you can write about it in the newspaper when you get back." ā
"It's not a good idea, Dumbledore doesn't want people to know that we're in contact with giants. Madame Maxim said cautiously, looking at Sirius dissatisfied, "we have to keep it a secret, you and Rubeus have been careless along the way, and Evan is much better than you in this regard." ā
"I know, I'm just talking about ......"
"Speaking of which, I wonder what the country is like now?!" Evan hurriedly diverted the topic, "After all this time, I guess Fudge and the Ministry of Magic will definitely take some kind of measure to restrict Dumbledore and Hogwarts ......"
"He's a complete idiot. Sirius said disdainfully.
The atmosphere that followed was a bit dull, and several people didn't speak, and they kept their heads in the road.
Later, Evan was tired and speechless.
He is not suitable for this kind of mountain hiking, and even if he usually insists on exercising, he is too tired to walk the mountain road for a day in a row.
After crossing cliffs and ridges, they are now on the south side of Mount Etna.
It is a hidden valley that is only led by a winding trail and is very close to the location at the top of the mountain.
Even though it's still summer, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the temperature is getting colder.
Thick clouds and fog drifted around Aven, blending with the snow on the ground, and everywhere there was a white expanse with little visibility.
Dumbledore had been here before, and he was one of the wizards who helped the giants escape from England in the first place.
Without his guidance, it would have been very difficult to find this valley and could have taken months.
As the sky grew darker, after a laborious climb up a huge rock, Aven heard a loud rumbling noise.
"Be careful, it's giants, we're very close to them!" Sirius said, pausing.
"What are they doing?" asked Aven, "making such a loud noise!"
"It's hard to say, but I think they might be fighting. Sirius replied.
"They are always like this, men fight men, women fight women, my dad told me about these things before, my mother told him. Hagrid said, sighing, "They can't control themselves, and they're going to beat each other to death every few weeks." ā
"It's normal, although there are not many of them, but the tribe of giants in Sicily is complex and there are many outsiders. Madame Maxim continued, "They all escaped after the previous wars, and now they are all huddled together, and it is strange that there is no fighting." ā
