Chapter 815: Giants
Gugo said he was happy. Luke said, "He accepted your gifts. ”
"In that case, then we'll be here tomorrow. Van Lin nodded, for giants, communication is already a difficult thing, too impatient will not get any good results.
Naturally, Luke's gift could not be left behind, and Sirius enlarged one of his belongings and gave it to Luke.
This made Luke very fond of it, and the giant was happy to see Van Lin as a human, and in fact, Luke himself was very fond of being separated from human society for a long time.
"Please also help us tell the Gurgo Leader that Albus Dumbledore's messenger will come to visit tomorrow with gifts, and ask the Elder Gurgo to continue to communicate with us. ”
"Oh, of course. Luke translated, and Gogo focused all his attention on the gifts.
The four of them naturally knew that they needed to give Gu Ge time to digest the surprise of these gifts, although Voldemort's messenger didn't see it, but opening up a good situation was not the beginning of success.
Van Lin and the others followed Luke down, although there was no gain, but for this primitive tribe, accepting gifts also meant the continuation of communication.
"Come back tomorrow morning, I'll be waiting for you here. "Unlike his father, the previous giant, Gogo, he wasn't very fond of fighting, and like the humans, he loved women, treasures, and human-made objects. If your gifts continue to satisfy him, I think he will agree to your request for an alliance, what exactly do you want?"
"Dumbledore has agreed to give you a batch of supplies every year to meet your various needs, and if possible, to help you improve the environment, and the only thing you have to do is that Dumbledore does not want you to avoid participating in human wars. Sirius said, looking up at Giant Luke.
"It turns out that way, it's difficult, it's in our nature that giants love war. Luke said, there is no way to hide the worry in his words, Luke prefers Dumbledore, "And not everyone in the tribe obeys the current leadership, there are many powerful giants roaming around......"
"Giants don't unite?"
"I'm sure you've seen that," said Luke, "giants aren't humans, and the human minister of magic isn't the most powerful, and giants aren't, Carlos isn't the most powerful, but he's the most powerful, and while his father was still around, there are giants who are more powerful than him and aren't too willing to obey him." ”
"Split, or usurpation?"
"It's not that complicated, human. "It's just that those people aren't sure yet, they just like to fight, and maybe they don't even know what that means." ”
"Who is it?" asked Van Lin.
"Trunce, it's the black-skinned giant on the other side. Luke said.
Van Lin remembered the giants who were very abrupt just now, and most of the people around him were some giants with more scars, and it was obvious that this was a group of people who were better at fighting.
"If we can, I think we need to talk to him. Sirius said.
"Okay, though, I think you should be prepared. "Trunce wasn't much of a talkative giant, he was more pure, so to speak, and he didn't have much affection for humans. ”
"But I still hope you can help us hand over the gifts, by the way......" Van Lin handed over the things in his hand, which were some exquisite animal tooth jewelry, which were also brought back from Egypt by Van Lin, some African witchcraft props.
"I'll give you a try, I'll send you out now, you don't have food in your hands, it's inevitable...... You know, they haven't been able to ......."
"I want to go see my mom. Hagrid said suddenly, looking at Luke, "Where is she now?"
"Oh, well, come with me, I was just going to go over too, she's on the other side of the mountain, and she's not qualified to live by the lake!" said the old giant.
They walked along the hillside in the other direction, where there was a dense jungle. The whole jungle clearly shows signs of giants' lives, and many trees have been uprooted and thrown to the ground indiscriminately.
It's probably a recreational activity, pulling out trees to vent excess energy, and it can be used as a weapon, but it's still very reasonable overall, but it's not very fair to the woods.
They walked silently in the woods for more than twenty minutes, getting farther and farther away from the gathering place of the giants. Then, very suddenly, Van Lin saw a mound of dirt appear in front of him, to be exact, just over the trunk of a tree, and the mound was there, giving the impression of ......
The mound was almost as tall as Hagrid, and the trees around it had been uprooted. It is located in a small open field, surrounded by piles of tree trunks and branches that act like a fence or barricade, blocking several people. However, Van Lin immediately realized that it was not a mound of dirt, but a sleeping giant.
He looked to be only sixteen feet tall, his body was constantly heaving with his breathing, and at first glance, his earthy yellow skin was really ......
But something like this fence should be......
"This guy is Glopp, another kid of Prudence. Luke said kindly, looking at the giant lying on the ground, and then looking down at Hagrid, "In terms of age, he should be your half-brother." ”
"Brother?" Van Lin's eyes widened.
He knew that this guy, Hagrid's younger brother, used to live in the mountains of France, and looking at the current appearance, Grope should be the result of being dismissed from his original place by France in recent years, but fortunately, Glopp has been following Prudence's side.
"My brother!" Hagrid muttered, his eyes red at once.
Hagrid's eyes widened as he looked at Grope in front of him, though he could only see part of it, and the other man's head and feet were obscured by the bushes.
Through the dense foliage, Van Lin could faintly see some of the Glup.
The messy head was almost a ball, covered with curly, thick withered grass-colored hair.
Probably because of Hagrid's mother, he was rarely clothed, a dirty, brown smock that looked as if it had been coarsely sewn from animal skin, and a very broad back underneath the smock.
When Grope slept, the rough seams between the hides seemed to be taut.
His legs curled up under his body, and when he looked the other way, he could see two large, dirty, barefoot boards.
They were as big as sleds, stacked on top of each other on the mud at one end of the woods.
Of all the giants, at twenty-five or six feet tall, Glopp was clearly a small man, a deformed monster, but this one in front of him ...... It's a "mound...... It's actually big enough for Van Lin, Sirius, Hagrid, and Madame Maxime to stand on it with ease.
"Would you like to say hello to him?" asked Giant Luke, looking down.
Hagrid nodded, but hesitated, then shook his head again, "I want to go see my mom first!"
"Oh, okay. Luke said, "Then we'd better get around him, Glopp's temper is not very good, he is a little pitiful." ”
It's really pitiful, with the rules of giants, Glopp is an outcast at all, it's hard to imagine how to live in the giant tribe with Glopp's appearance, the life of the giant tribe can only be lived by strong people, and Glopp obviously doesn't belong to this category.
"Because he is too short, this boy is very bullied in the tribe, no one wants to talk to him, he is not suitable for the life of a giant. I can't imagine what would have happened to Prudence if he had died, he would have been unable to take care of himself. Even the basic ......"
"Can't he find something to eat?" asked Van Lin.
"Food is only one aspect, in fact, he can catch birds or deer himself, he is relatively small, according to the amount of food that giants eat, it should be considered the minimal, but no one wants to pay attention to him, so to speak, he is very lonely!" Luke the giant looked at Hagrid, He is always alone, he can't blend into the tribe, in the history of the giants, unhealthy children like this end up fending for themselves, there is no mercy between the giants, and even in tense situations, you should know that in the most severe period, the giants chose to leave, and I was one of them. ”
