Sitting on the dragon's head, Rove squinted his eyes and looked at the old man who suddenly appeared

He was emaciated, with a wrinkled old face like tree bark, and a pair of bright gray eyes, which hung with gray eyebrows.

In an instant, not only him, but even Shirley recognized the identity of the old man.

Corvinus Gaunt!

Newt and Gaunt seemed to be old friends, and upon seeing him, they directly put aside their hostility and let the longhorned dragon descend back to the ground.

Newt slid down from the dragon's back, opened the box again, and let the dragon get in, and then looked at Gaunt for a moment, and frowned:

"Corvinus, why are you here?"

"Find the Lost Giant." Gaunt did not hide his purpose in the slightest, and said calmly:

"You know, I'm as interested in the ancient wizarding realms as you are in the magical creatures.

And there may be some remnants of ancient wizards in Giant City, so I'll take a look. Of course, that's also the responsibility of my Department of Mysteries. ”

"What about these Yin Corpses?"

"This is the Upper Barnton Giant Tribe, although it has long been abandoned, but there are a large number of giant remains buried underground." Gaunt calmly explained:

"They are all good laborers, so I made them into Yin Corpses to help me dig up Giant City."

Seeing that Newt's face was not very good-looking, Gaunt deliberately glanced at the broken box in his hand, and said with a smile:

"What? Newt, you don't want to go to the Ministry of Magic to report me and use dark magic to make a corpse, do you? We've been friends for many years, so we don't have to do that, right? ”

Newt didn't speak, but Rove and Shirley secretly exchanged a look.

Of course, it is impossible to report, after all, everyone's eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, and their bodies are all unclean.

Seeing that several people were silent, Gaunt suddenly smiled:

"It seems that I dug and disturbed the fertile soil, otherwise you would not have come, this place is indeed very close to there, I did not think it through...... I'm sorry. ”

The old man snapped his fingers, and the vibrations and loud noises suddenly disappeared, as if the original fluctuating water calmed down in an instant.

Rove narrowed his eyes and stared at Corvinus Gaunt, and the old man seemed to sense it, and suddenly turned his head to look at the young man, and said with a kind smile:

"Kid, how did you think about the last deal we talked about?"

Last summer, Rove traveled to the Department of Mysteries to request access to information about Dementors left by Ixis.

But Gaunt, who is the director of the Department of Mysteries, directly refused.

However, he did not refuse completely, and instead offered to let Rove exchange the basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets.

Of course, this transaction is not possible, after all, the basilisk was identified by Grindelwald and confirmed to be a Slytherin Horcrux.

And Slytherin is the murderer of Ravenclaw, of course it is impossible to give it to Gaunt!

In fact, Rove didn't take the basilisk with him, but let it stay in Newmengard.

"Rove, Aixis has studied the Dementors for hundreds of years, leaving behind a lot of information, and there are records of his whereabouts." Gaunt went on to persuade:

"And ...... Your grandfather has always wanted to read and read the notes left by Ixis, and if you exchange them with me, they will not be a loss-making business in any way. ”

Rove didn't refuse directly, just smiled perfunctorily:

"I can't bear that basilisk and learn a lot of magic from it, so how about I think about it, Mr. Gaunt?"

"Absolutely." With a smile on his face, Gaunt reminded, "But hurry up, after a while, I may not be interested in that basilisk." ”

"Corvinus, since you're looking for the Giant City." Newt suddenly spoke: "We won't disturb your work, let's go back first." ”

"Huh, Newt...... It's all here, what are you doing in such a hurry to go back? Gaunt's face was full of kindness, and he warmly invited:

"Although the Giant City has not been completely excavated, there has been a lot of progress, how about I take you to visit it?

This is a lost civilization of giants, no worse than wizards, elves, and centaurs. ”

Seeing Newt's vigilant face, Gaunt sighed in a very hurt tone:

"Newt, we are old friends who have known each other for many years, when you were almost devoured by a scarab in the temple of Amun at the ruins of the Romania in Sudan, I saved you.

The little girl who walked with you, she is a silent person, and I also taught you how to separate the silence from her body. ”

The old man said with some sadness:

"Newt, I won't hurt you, and we're not enemies anyway, just like we did back then...... Right? ”

Listening to Gaunt's tone, it seemed that Newt and him were indeed not familiar with him, but Rove didn't speak, just looked at Newt silently.

He's just a junior, so it's natural to listen to Newt's decision at this time.

Newt was silent for a moment before he looked at Gaunt and nodded, "Let's go." ”

Gaunt immediately regained his smile again, he raised his arm slightly, blinked, and said, "Hold my sleeve and I'll take you inside." ”

All three of them tugged at Gaunt's long sleeves, and the old man shook them gracefully and gently, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in a strange place.

Rove looked around and found himself in a wide tunnel.

The tunnel is dug directly into the mountain, a full ten meters high, the ground and both sides are flat and smooth, along a gentle and unchanging slope, straight ahead.

Led by Gaunt, they reached the end of the tunnel and saw a stone door more than twenty meters high, hanging on a hinge, half-open, and light streaming through the door.

Instead of looking into the house, their eyes were drawn to the great door, for there was a mural carved on it, and it was also engraved in Runi, but it was too faint to read.

Rove gazed closely at the painting and saw a man lying naked on the ground with his limbs outstretched.

Four little people were lying on top of him, one of them was beating his crotch with a stick, a four-legged little man was looking at the lit grass, not knowing what he was looking at, and a little man with a thief's eyebrow was clasping his jewel-like eyes.

The little man, who was a little bigger, with a weapon in his hand, was cutting off most of the man's head, most of which had already been cut off.

"This door is seven or eight thousand years old, and it tells the story of human creatures such as wizards, centaurs, goblins, and giants who defeated a powerful enemy." Gaunt explains:

"The weapon that cuts the head, it was designed by the centaurs, the elves provide the forging process, the giants thrash, and the wizards engrave the scriptures...... In the end, the forging was successful.

Finally, the giant wielded his weapon and split that enemy into five parts. ”

"The giants have passed on this story by word of mouth from generation to generation, and have even made murals."

Gaunt looked at Newt and asked with a smile:

"Newt, you Scamander family have lived for generations in the Fertile Plains, not far from Giants, you ...... Ever heard the story? ”
