Chapter Seventy-Five: The Giant
Wading through mountains and rivers, through mountains and mountains, on the vast field, there are two small figures advancing.
"Can't we use magic?" Li Yang thumped his calf, which was a little sore.
"That's not good, Dumbledore told us, we are likely to be monitored by the Ministry of Magic, but then it should be fine, this place is beyond the jurisdiction of the British Ministry of Magic, and Fudge's hand cannot reach abroad......"
At the mention of Fudge, Hagrid became indignant.
"That stupid guy, he has obviously forgotten who supported him as a minister in the first place, and who selflessly helped him after he became a minister......
Li Yang rolled his eyes, not taking Hagrid's words.
No matter how reasonable the words are, the topic of more gripping, when you hear it dozens of times, you can no longer listen to it, in contrast, Li Yang is still more interested in his sore legs.
He took out the map Dumbledore had given him before he left and looked at the itinerary.
"It's almost there."
"Really?" Hagrid leaned over and glanced at the map.
"Well, if it's fast, we'll be there tonight."
Hagrid wanted to move on, but after looking at Li Yang, he stopped, "Let's rest first, I didn't say you, you should exercise well, how can a young man's body be so weak." ”
Li Yang pursed his lips.
You are a half-giant, which human is more than you, not false?
Rao is his body that has been strengthened once, and it is not as good as Haige's half-giant physique.
Then
"Boom......" A loud drum sounded in the distance.
Li Yang stood up from the ground, climbed a higher rock, and looked into the distance.
"How?"
Hagrid's huge body was not as flexible as Li Yang, and he didn't even think about climbing the rocks, the rocks around him were not so big, he looked into the distance, but he couldn't see it, so he had to ask Li Yang.
Li Yang climbed high and looked, but he could only see a vague shadow, and he couldn't see clearly at all, "I'll take a look, and I'll go back." ”
Before the words fell, the others had turned into an eagle and flew into the air.
"Be careful." Hagrid only had time to say this, and Li Yang had already flown away.
Skim high in the sky and look down on the land.
On the ground, a group of humanoid creatures, generally twenty feet tall, were bouncing up and down on the ground, as if they were performing some ancient tribal ritual.
"Giant!" Li Yang's eyes lit up.
Just as he was about to fly back to inform Hagrid, he saw two large giants who were a head taller than the surrounding giants come out of the jumping ceremony.
One of them wears a seeping necklace around his neck, which is made of skulls of different creatures strung together, including many humans, carrying a huge metal axe on his shoulder, the blade of the axe reflects the cold light in the sun, obviously not ordinary, and then look at its axe surface is smooth as a mirror, spotless, it seems to have just been created, has not been used, and what is even more outrageous is that this giant also has a steel helmet on his head.
The other giant was more humble, with a smudge-covered hides around his waist, and a large wooden stick in his hand, which was already somewhat rotten, and the former was almost one in the sky and the other on the ground.
But the giant didn't care, and the rest of the giants ignored it, and after the ceremony, they retreated and made way for a spacious clearing.
The two giants roared and scuffled in the clearing.
"What's going on?" Li Yang looked at it in surprise, and at the same time compared to the giant in front of him, and the information about the giant flowed through his mind.
Giants, as the name suggests, are huge in size and amazingly powerful, there is nothing to say, the key is that they are aggressive and aggressive by nature, which is why some people often confuse giants with trolls, but in fact, giants are intelligent, and they even learned human language and made simple tools in contact with humans...... Wait, Dumbledore had said with a mockery: Perhaps, this is why the human wizards drove the giants out of the wizarding world and into this remote valley......
Therefore, the giants of the world are driven by human wizards, all concentrated in this wilderness, dead or disabled on the way to migrate, coupled with their aggressive character, they have never stopped fighting after settlement, and there is no need for human wizards to do anything, after countless years, the original giants are only left in front of them, less than a hundred people.
Thinking back to the giant's information, Li Yang judged that most of the two big giants below were competing for the position of tribal leader.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Every attack of the two giants was earth-shattering, and Li Yang flicked his wings up a little higher, for fear of being affected.
In fact, the outcome of the battle is not difficult to predict, in the case of similar body size and similar combat effectiveness, it is natural that the better equipped person wins.
No, after a few blows, the giant with the steel helmet on his head cut off the wooden rod of the other giant with an axe, and then castrated it and wiped it across his throat.
"Poof!"
The huge human head fell to the ground, and the blood spurting from his neck almost spurted into the sky for Li Yang.
"High horses."
"High horses."
…… The surrounding giants hula gathered around, cheering the name of the victor, and the giants who died in defeat did not even have anyone to collect their bodies.
"Quiet." The tall horse raises its axe.
The cheers of the surrounding giants immediately stopped.
"Bring my guests in."
A middle-aged male wizard in a gray robe walked up and bowed to the tall horse, "McNeil, I've seen the respected leader of the Giant Clan. ”
This obviously spoke to Gao Gaoma's heart, Gao Gaoma laughed happily, "I like the weapon you gave me very much, I have decided to grant your request, if Dumbledore comes to ask for the help of the giants, I will not only refuse him, but also kill him, anyway, I don't know the old man, and I don't know if the meat is still so delicious when humans get old, haha." ”
"Dumbledore? Who's talking about Dumbledore? What kind of ability is it to stand up and speak ill of people behind your back? Hagrid's voice came suddenly.
The tall horse turned its head to look.
But on the slope not far away, a man was much shorter than himself, but much taller than a human, and even he couldn't tell whether it was a giant or a human figure.
--Hagrid.
There was such a big commotion here, Hagrid naturally couldn't have noticed it, and Li Yang didn't reply for a long time, so he looked for it himself, and before he could find Li Yang, he heard someone talking about Dumbledore first.
Is this worth it?
The person Hagrid respected most in his life was Dumbledore, and unlike the respect of Professor McGonagall, Blake and others, Hagrid's respect was closer to worship.
When he saw Gao Gaoma and other giants, he was stunned, "Giants? ”
Isn't what I'm looking for on this trip a giant?
Hagrid straightened his clothes and remembered Dumbledore's instructions before leaving, as he walked towards the tall horse.
Before he could get in front of the tall horse, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, and the moment he landed, he turned into a human.
It was Li Yang.
He seemed to be in a hurry, and he didn't land well, and almost stumbled to the ground.
Hagrid hurriedly went to help, "You can count back..."
Li Yang didn't listen to Hagrid at all, and shouted, "Run!" ”
"What?" Hagrid heard, but didn't.
He doesn't need to understand anymore.
A severed wooden stick, whirling, whistling and flying over.
"Oh my God, that giant is crazy!" Hagrid could see very clearly that the broken wooden stick was thrown by the giant who was suspected of being the leader of the tribe, and he was unprepared, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and it was too late to hide.
There is no way, if it is Li Yang, he can dodge, and even change to a sturdy human, he can dodge, but Hagrid is a half-giant, and his tall body makes him stronger and more powerful than ordinary people, but it also makes him infected with the common disease of giants.
Bulky.
The broken wooden stick was about to hit Hagrid, when a strong force suddenly struck, pushing Hagrid seven or eight steps forward and falling to the ground.
"Boom!" The broken wooden stick flew into the air and smashed into the ground, and it actually poked into the ground.
The great power of the tall horse can be seen.
"I take back what I said before, you're still in good health." Hagrid got up from the ground and gave a thumbs up to Li Yang, despite the dirt and grass clippings covering his body.
Li Yang didn't speak, just pushed Hagrid's right hand, and his wrist was aching faintly, as if it was twisted.
But he didn't have time to care about it now, so he pulled out his wand with his left hand, and his eyes were fixed on the front.
front
After the broken wooden stick, it was led by a tall horse, and the earth trembled under the soles of the giants' feet.
"Kill them."
"You'll get more gifts, weapons, and even a good place to live."
The gray-robed wizard named McNeill also rushed forward, but instead of rushing in front, he followed the giants from a distance, his wand against his throat, shouting loudly.
"These giants don't know what's wrong, run first." Hagrid looked at the terrifying formation of nearly a hundred giants rushing in front of him, and couldn't help but change color, and his heart retreated.
Li Yang had already taken out his wand at this time, but there was no response, he was chanting a spell in his mouth, shaking his hand, and a tongue of fire shot out from the tip of the wand, and after falling on the grass, the grass was suddenly swallowed, and the flames suddenly rose.
Blazing!
Unlike during the Triwizard Tournament, this time Li Yang did not hide his secrets.
Children in the wizarding world know that giants and merfolk are not of the same magnitude at all.
"Whew!"
The fierce fire spread out on the ground, almost swallowing all the grass within the visible range in front of Li Yang, and in a few breaths, the fierce fire turned from the initial tongue of fire to a sea of fire everywhere.
Li Yang's wand was raised high.
It swept up, swirled, burned, and turned into a ferocious monster, almost as big as a giant, and with a terrifying beastly roar from its mouth, it rushed towards nearly a hundred giants.
In an instant, it devoured the tall horses that rushed to the front.
"Ahh
The giants behind couldn't see the figure of the tall horse, and could only hear a scream from the mouth of the flame monster.
After that, there was no more sound.
Shoot a man first and shoot a horse first, and capture a thief first and capture the king first!
The giants who charged behind couldn't help but stop.
"Surrender, or......
Die! ”
Li Yang's murderous voice came out, deafening and chilling.
To Li Yang's surprise,
"Humanity will never want to enslave giants!"
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
…… The remaining giants screamed, devouring the tall horses in front of them, and then rose up again, charging towards the fiery beasts that were taller than their giants.
It's like death!
The flame behemoth emitted a faint glow, as if it was picking which giant to start with, or,
All!
"No, don't kill them." Although Hagrid had an unhappy childhood, after all, he had half the blood of a giant in his body, and he couldn't bear it.
The flame beast shook its head, as if shaking its head in denial, but the next moment, it suddenly disintegrated, turning into tongues of fire, all flowing back into its wand.
Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief, but what happened next made him completely dead.
"Kill!"
"Avenge the chief."
"Don't rob me, that little human is mine."
"Big man humanity is mine."
…… The giant still didn't stop charging, and before they even rushed in front of Li Yang and Hagrid, they were already fighting with each other.
Looking at this scene, Hagrid felt a wordless sadness in his heart.
"Let's go." Hagrid said decadently.
When Dumbledore accepted the mission, he had been full of fighting spirit, but now, he was only disheartened, he felt that his trip was a mistake, and that these giants could not fight for help.
"Smack." The explosion of the apparition shifter rang out.
Hagrid is gone. ①
"Smack." Li Yang also cast a phantom shift.
Giants can't do magic, so if they lose the opportunity, they can only stare dryly.
"A bunch of big stupid guys."
"Two naïve wizards."
McGonier stood at a safe distance, looking at the giant charge in front of him, and the scene of Li Yang and Hagrid's phantom shifting away, his face full of disdain.
What kind of benevolence and compassion, it is simply naïve and ridiculous, if it was him who was holding the fire just now, he would never let go of the enemy.
suddenly
"Smack." The explosion of the apparition apparition sounded.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, close at hand.
Li Yang!
McNeil, who was defenseless, fell to the ground in fright.
Before he could react and escape, a rope shot out from the tip of the wand in Li Yang's hand, tying him up on the spot.
"Smack."
Li Yang's phantom disfigured and vanished.
McNeil, who was being held by his wand, also disappeared with him.
The giants in front of them didn't see it, and when they looked back and saw that McNeill was gone, they thought it was McNeill who had gone home.
