Both the Kraken and the Matrohirant are located in the Strait of Messina between the Italian peninsula and Sicily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

From the northeast corner of the island, where Aven and the others are now, there is a clear panoramic view of the strait.

Near their camp was Taormina, a Muggle and wizarding town with a fairly well-preserved ancient Greek theater and a Sicilian calling card, which Evan had visited not long ago.

At the southern end of the town, there are stunning mountain cliffs and the largest active volcano in Europe, Etna.

The terrain of the mountain is quite complex, and the giants are hidden in it, and it is also the birthplace of the legendary cyclops.

In mythology, cyclops use lava from volcanoes to forge weapons, often with loud thunderous noises.

The clouds were so thick that you couldn't see the top of the mountain for most of the year, and it was not easy to find the giant inside, and the nearby Muggle residents believed that the giant who lived in the mountain was Thor.

Aven had carefully observed the terrain in the vicinity, and the sight he had seen of the island in Ravenclaw was probably in this area.

That is, more than a thousand years ago, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw used to be here.

Gryffindor fights the Cyclops deep in the mountains of Etna, leaving a permanent scar on his eye.

To the north of the town, near the shoreline dock, there is an old lighthouse, which is the vantage point of the neighborhood, and it still guides the ships that go out to sea, and from there if you want to take a boat trip to see the Siren.

The Italian Ministry of Magic has set up a special sanctuary here to protect the Kraken and operates a cruise ship dedicated to visiting the Kraken.

But there was no one now, and Mr. Idas Grosso of the sanctuary told Evan that usually when the school was on vacation, there were more wizards who came to visit, and it was very rare for a young wizard like him to come here during the semester.

"No, no, we can't go to sea now!" Grosso said, shaking his head, "Boy, I'd suggest you'd better go to your parents or guardians, it's been dangerous in the neighborhood lately, and it's not a place for a young wizard like you to hang out. ”

"My uncle is busy with other things, I'm just going to take a look, I've read the Kraken description in the book......" said Aven, "why can't we go out because of the Golden Galleons?"

"All of them!" said Grosso, straightening the hat on his head, pointing to the lighthouse on the high ground next to the pier, "but the main reason is that the lighthouse is broken, and without the guidance of the lighthouse, we can't go out to sea to find death." Let me tell you, those female sirens like you the most, and if you fall into their hands, they will not kill you, but will slowly raise them, lock them up in their nests on the cliffs, and ...... with you every day."

Evan turned his head to look at the ancient lighthouse, and Mr. Grosso told him that the light on the top of the lighthouse had suddenly gone out not long ago.

You know, this lighthouse is not only a guide to Muggle ships, but the lights emitted inside also have a very special protective magic, which can keep the ship and crew from being confused by the song of the Sirens and keep them from being immersed in illusions.

The lighthouse is broken now, and going to sea at this time is no different from looking for death.

Grosso then tells Evan a lot of horror stories about the Sirens and the undead who roam the seas, and what makes Evan really care is what happens after the lighthouse is damaged......

"Yes, after that lighthouse broke, the Muggles sent people to repair it several times, and what do they call the weirdos with very long metal ropes, electricians?!" Grosso said, "I saw them go in with my own eyes, and then they came out all night, and those Muggles were all crazy, and they kept saying meaningless words, as if they had hit a ghost." ”

"Crazy?!" Evan looked at him in surprise.

"yes, they keep talking about the end of the world, destruction, the old gods or something, it's like they've been brainwashed, who knows what they saw in the tower, I heard they kept having nightmares after they went back. Grosso looked around, then lowered his head, brought his freckled face closer to Aven, and said in a low voice, "The reason that lighthouse is broken is obviously because of magic, there is a group of dark wizards in it, and I saw them go in on the boat one night, all wearing black cloaks. ”

"Do you see what they look like?" Evan asked.

"No, no!" Grosso waved his hand, a hint of horror flashing across his face, "It's clear that a wizard is playing tricks on this matter, I reported it to the higher-ups, but the guy in charge of the town didn't react, and the Ministry of Magic didn't send anyone over." In my opinion, a broken lighthouse is probably a trivial matter in their eyes, and there is no need to mobilize people to investigate. Anyway, those Krakens won't starve to death, they will find food on their own. ”

"But this thing is suspicious!" said Aven, who had said bad things about the dark wizards, and had connected him to bad things.

Before leaving, Nicol Lemay had told him that the long-lost Ravental had begun to move again.

This is where Ravenclaw used to be, could it be that the hooded dark wizards were them?!

Or maybe it's the Death Eaters who also came looking for the giants?!

"It's suspicious, but what does it have to do with me!" Grosso said, straightening up again, "I'm just a Kraken breeder, and as long as they pay me, I don't have to worry about those troubles." Truth be told, I'm fed up with this job, and I'm going to get my job and quit my job and go to Rome to find a new job, which is better than guarding an empty ship and a bunch of Krakens here. ”

"Mr. Grosso, if I fix the lighthouse, can you take me out to sea?" said Aven, "I still want to see the Kraken!"

"No problem, boy, if only you can fix that lighthouse!" Grosso said, "I've never seen a little wizard as interested in a Kraken as you, yes, they look like human women on their upper bodies, and they are not yet clothed, but they are ...... underneath You just have to look at them and you won't be interested in them!"

With a wave of his hand, Evan walked back along the path he had come from, waiting until there was no one around him before the apparition returned to the camp.

Whatever the reason for that lighthouse to go out, there was clearly a new trouble inside.

He was going to wait until the matter of contacting the giant was over, and then he would find a way to solve this problem.
