Chapter 888: The Last Giant Hunt
"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”
Maca and Hermione looked at the fat wizard Borbers, who was suddenly startled, with inexplicable expressions, and paused for a moment before Maca shook her head with a smile.
"What the hell is this accent?" He couldn't help but complain.
Unlike Maca's surprise, Hermione was puzzled, but she was only puzzled because she couldn't understand what the other party was saying.
"What language is this?" She hurriedly turned her head to Maca and asked, "Sounds like a variant of the ancient runes?" ”
"That's right, it's the West Saxon language of Rune, and now we are learning mainly the Runese language of Vrsack...... Oh, of course, this Mr. Borbers has a strange accent, and it's not pure West Saxon......"
And while the two were casually talking, several more arrows fell from the sky, causing the fat Borbers to scurry to the side at least twenty feet away, and finally hid under a tree.
Seeing this, Maca only thinks that this product seems to be quite unreliable? It's rare that when he saw the name "Borberth" before, he had a lot of expectations for the first Hogwarts professor of ancient magic!
But before he could think about it, suddenly there was a rumbling sound in the distance. In the cold and snow, it was obvious that the entire ground around me was trembling slightly.
With a "bang", the snow on the trees next to the road was affected by the shaking and fell directly.
So, Borbos, who just wanted to hide under the tree to prevent being accidentally injured by the arrow, was suddenly covered by the snow and half of his body was covered by the snow.
"Is it an earthquake? Or is there a volcanic eruption? ”
Luna had lost interest in the fat man, and she was still wandering around the snow on the side of the road while Maca was talking to Hermione. At this time, when she saw the vision, she seemed to be interested again, but she guessed in a different direction when it was obvious that it was obvious.
"It's a giant!" Hermione corrected, "Don't you remember what Maca said before she came in?" In 1051, the last giant hunt ...... We're in Greece right now, and just now, it's probably the movement of giants running. ”
As Hermione explains, this fragment of memory is the scene where Borbers bumps into a Greek wizard hunting giants, and it is the last one-sided hunt against giants in the history of magic.
After that, of course, there were several battles between wizards and giants, but they were real wars.
The year is 1051, many years ago, when the largest wizarding war in history was over. The wizarding community, which has won the final victory, has regarded the defeated magical creatures as long-term hunting objects, including some humanoid species.
As for the giant hunt, it is perhaps the most dangerous part of the hunting activity.
"Bang-bang-bang-bang-"
Another shaking shook from across the village not far away.
Although Borbers may seem timid, his IQ is not intimidated. When he sensed that the movement was coming towards him, he immediately swept away the snow around him and ran out, then randomly chose a side perpendicular to the direction from which the tremor came from and began to escape.
He disliked the most popular hunting sports in the wizarding world today, especially dangerous activities like dragon hunting or giant hunting.
Can be used for the basic situation of these sports...... As a well-known magician, he was still forced to be exposed to a lot.
He knew that the wizards who were hunting at this time should still be in the stage of "rushing to the field".
Before they begin to deal with the giants, the hunters will first drive the giants gathered in groups of three or three to disperse, and then keep an eye on one of them and lead them into the distance.
This is a very classic method of giant hunting, and it is said that in the wizarding wars, the ancestors used this method to defeat the scattered and unorganized giant tribes.
Therefore, Borbers was prepared to immediately move away from the route of the hunters to drive away the giants—a choice that could not be wrong in theory.
It's a pity that there will always be some bad deviations between theory and practice.
Just after Borbers had been running for a short while, the rumbling sound suddenly reappeared, and the source of the tremor was still coming in the direction of Borbers' escape.
"Turned?" Not far behind him, Maca glanced curiously into the distance.
Hermione looked at Mr. Borbers in front of her a little strangely, and wondered:
"Why didn't he apparition?"
"Because in the days when Hogwarts was first created, Apparition was still the old version—you've already studied those three elements, right? Purpose, determination, and calm...... At that time, the wizards only knew the first two points, so they had to succeed many times in a row before they could naturally become 'calm'. ”
Remember that when the next Christmas break was over, Hermione and the others would be old enough to learn the Transfiguration Charm. To this end, Maca also added a few more personal theories that he had summarized from his in-depth study of the spell.
Although due to some anomalies in his soul, he himself has never been able to stabilize the coordinates of the manifestation. But that didn't stop him from studying the theory of the spell quite thoroughly, and even applying it to the crafting of the portkey.
However, not to mention the calmness of Maca's side, Borbers was quite miserable.
He was already fat, and it was very difficult to run, and the urgency of the approaching behemoth made him feel exhausted before he had long run.
"It's terrible!"
Borbers muttered breathlessly, then abruptly stopped running and sat down on the spot.
But just when Hermione thought he was going to give up and run away, she saw the chubby Borbers with his head down and hurriedly rummaged through his satchel.
Seeing this, the three of them also came to the vicinity of the fat wizard, wanting to see what good things he would come up with.
Speaking of which, Borbers is indeed a very good magician, but I don't know if it's because he spends all his time studying ancient magic, and his level of magic has always been below the average.
Among the first Hogwarts professors carefully hired by the Big Four that year, he was the only one who could not use the illusion of disfigurement.
And at this moment, listening to the giant's running getting closer and closer, Borbers finally pulled out a ...... from his satchel A piece of parchment to come?
When Maca saw this, she showed a surprised expression.
On that parchment, he saw another kind of rune array diagram structure that he had never seen before—a polygonal irregular structure, unlike the ancient circle array and the circuit-like structure created by Maca himself.
And while Maca was still pondering the special structure she had seen, Borbos, who was holding the parchment, suddenly got up from the snow and rushed in the direction of the epicenter.
When Maca and the others saw it, they hurriedly followed suit.
From the symbolic patterns he had just glimpsed on the parchment, he could guess that it was supposed to be a formation made of broken runes, but he didn't know the exact effect at this time.
But just looking at Bolbers' confident appearance, the power should not be much smaller.
It wasn't long before they followed the figure in front of them around a small forest when they suddenly spotted a huge figure near the horizon in the distance.
Against the backdrop of a round of sunset, the figure was extraordinarily huge.
But Borbers was not deterred by the terrible giant, and he continued to run in stride.
"Look, there are other wizards over there!"
Hermione's eyes were good, and she immediately noticed the little figure beside the giant. It's just that next to the giants, those little ones are not so inconspicuous.
Naturally, Maca didn't need to be reminded by Hermione, he had already noticed that those contemporary wizards were taking turns attacking the giants, casting a series of moderately powerful magic as they ran, luring the giants back and forth to move in this direction.
The Giants are a species blessed with physical strength, and their muscles are strong and efficient, allowing them to easily achieve terrifying running speeds that do not match their size.
Therefore, when driving away and seducing giants, the wizard's hunting team often needs to have a considerable degree of coordination ability in order to at least avoid injury as much as possible.
But in the next moment, Borbers, who was running in that direction, suddenly stopped, and then ran back without hesitation, looking in a certain direction from time to time on the way.
Maca looked down where he was looking, and then couldn't help but grin—there was another giant coming out from behind the mountain.
It seems that the change in the previous epicenter is not that the giant is "turning", but that two different giants are running separately!
When more than two giants appear at the same time, the scene becomes much more chaotic, which is probably why Borbers decisively chose to run away again.
Seeing the fat man pass by with a depressed expression, Maca stopped looking at the two giants and beckoned Hermione and Luna to continue to follow Borbers away.
This is Borbers' memory world, and if you get too far away from it, you won't see anything.
But when the three of them hurried to catch up with Borbers, Maca quickly stopped laughing, and shouted out to Luna, who was running too fast.
"No wonder Professor Binns would say that Borbers 'almost didn't come back'...... He was really unlucky enough that he ran into three giants one after another? ”
There was no doubt that in the distance in the direction that the fat man was facing, I don't know if it was in the ravine that suddenly another giant stood up.
Clearly, the tremor of the race woke the giant, who had not yet fallen asleep.
