Chapter 191: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
"We can't give up, Olim." In the cave, Hagrid said in a deep voice, "There must be giants who refuse to submit to the rule of the high horses, and that is our goal." ”
"Then you also need to get a little better, that's the most important thing right now." Maxim took a bottle of potion and poured it directly into Hagrid.
In the previous conflict with the giant, Hagrid's injuries were so severe that he couldn't use his arm strength and couldn't even drink his own medicine.
"Ahem......" Maxim was a little anxious, choking Hagrid and coughing,
"I mean, you can observe first, the change of the Giant Leader is normal, but they shouldn't be so hostile to us, it doesn't make sense."
"But the truth is, the man named Gao Gao Ma almost killed you." Maxim took Hagrid's arm and held his wand to his shoulder with his right hand.
A flash of white light flashed, and Hagrid let out a scream just in time.
"Don't worry, there's another one." After another scream, Maxim let go of Hagrid's arm with disgust on his face and said, "Okay, it should be fine in two days." Hagrid moved his arm, and although there was still a faint ache, it was out of the way.
"I still think I should take a second look......"
"Actually, it's nothing to look at, obviously, it's the Dark Lord's lackey." Maxim said,
"As Kakus said, he rejected the offer of the two Death Eaters."
"However, you are right, there should still be giants who do not obey the high Madanggugo...... But be careful, now the enemy is not only tall horses, but also Death Eaters! Hagrid nodded repeatedly, and the corners of Maxim's mouth couldn't help but smile at this point, but it was fleeting.
They rested in the cave for a day, and the next night slipped into the valley to find the giants who refused to obey the tall horses.
It's also easy to find, after all, Gao Gaoma has only just become a Guge, and his control over the tribe is somewhat insufficient.
And the only way he can control the tribe is to subdue those who don't obey. So, just look for those injured giants.
Their infiltration was difficult, and Hagrid disagreed with Maxim's use of the Transfiguration Charm. Giants hate wizards using magic against them, and while the Illusion Charm doesn't directly hurt them, it gives them the illusion that wizards want to sneak up.
And the difficulties don't end there.
"Sure enough, they're the Death Eaters!" As soon as he slipped in, Hagrid saw tall horses talking loudly with two humans around a huge campfire by the lake.
He knew both, one was McNeil and the other was Ike.
"Damn, they must be proud, but that's just the right time for us to sneak in." Hagrid kept his voice low and patted Maxim's arm and pointed in the same direction.
"Let's go over there first...... "The hierarchy of the giant tribe is very strict, Gugo enjoys the best shelter and the best service, and he doesn't have to hunt, and his diehards live in the closest place to him, which is basically a cave by the lake.
Others, depending on their intimacy with Gugo, become more distant the periphery, which is exactly what Hagrid was looking for.
Carefully hiding themselves in the shadows, the two searched for a long time before they found three bruised giants in the outermost cave.
They looked terrible, and their skin was open, and it was the injuries they had only suffered in the past two days.
"Hello, we've come to visit Kakus before, and I'd like to talk to you......" Hagrid whispered to the three giants, explaining where he came from and why.
Xu is Hagrid's attitude is very sincere, perhaps because of the intimacy of the blood of the two, gradually, the three giants are somewhat convinced, but still hesitate.
Hagrid was pleased, but didn't show it, and left after making an appointment with the three giants to come back tomorrow to see them.
"That's a good start, but we need more giants...... "The next night, Hagrid and Maxim went to the cave where the three giants were, and talked to them again, this time they agreed, and they didn't need Hagrid to figure out how to get them back to England, they would figure it out themselves.
"Great, thank you." Hagrid was excited,
"Then it's settled, we're going to the cave to the north, where there are four giants like you."
"Be careful, the men of the tall horses have come to search during the day, and they are looking for you." A giant stumbled in English, his eyes full of sincerity.
"We will." With that, Hegla led Maxim out of the cave and towards the same cave he had discovered the night before.
It was a cave that was slightly larger than the previous one, but it was crowded with four giants, even if one of them was underage.
"Are you all right, as promised, we came to see you." Hagrid and Maxim stopped at the entrance of the cave, where there was really no place to stay.
"It's better." A muffled voice sounded, but it was smooth enough, it was the translator beside Kakus before.
"How, what do you think? We just came from Dimas and they have already agreed. Hagrid said,
"We need your strength."
"If Dimas says yes, so do we."
"Great! Rest assured, we'll ......" Suddenly, a deafening roar rang out, and the ground immediately felt a noticeable shake.
Immediately afterward, another scream came, in the direction where Dimas and the others were before. Everyone's faces changed, and Maxim drew his wand and looked out of the cave warily.
There, several tall figures were running towards it at a rapid pace. Exactly the tall horses! But that wasn't the main reason for the drastic change in her complexion, compared to the tall horse in silver armor, the real danger was the two Death Eaters beside him.
"I didn't expect that Lady Maxim would be with you, Hagrid." McNeil pointed his wand at Maxim, but looked at Hagrid and said,
"Is it because you're all half-blood giants?"
"Damn it! You will pay the price! Maxim was furious, and a spell was issued, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of McNeil.
It was so fast that he didn't even react.
"Smack!" Suddenly, a small silver shield appeared, less than two inches in front of McNeil, blocking the incoming spell.
"Lady Maxim, please forgive my companion for his gaffe, he has no ill intentions." Ike folded his hands in front of him, his expression calm.
"Apologies! Mcneil. ”
"I'm sorry, Ms. Maxim." McNeil apologized very obediently and seemed sincere, but Maxim's anger did not subside at all, and he became more vigilant.
Ike didn't pay attention to Maxim with his wand in hand, the temptation just now made him feel at ease.
Turning to look at Hagrid, a big smile appeared on his face, but somehow, Hagrid involuntarily took a half step back when he saw it.
"Hello, Hagrid, long time no see......"
