Listening to Gaunt's description, Rove looked at the mural with fascination and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The so-called powerful enemy is obviously an ancient wizard, and the content of this mural is also a scene of a coalition of wizards, goblins, giants and centaurs fighting him.

Hufflepuff once said that the coalition used some means to cut the immortal ancient wizard into five parts and seal them separately......

It turns out that it was a very powerful weapon.

While the boy was still pondering, Newt shook his head and said categorically:

"I've never heard this story, in fact, when our family settled in the Fertile Grounds, the Giants were already lost."

Gaunt smiled noncommittally, he looked up at the mural and continued:

"Although there is no evidence about the whereabouts of the weapon used by the giant, there are some vague rumors.

Like what...... It was obtained by the goblins and placed in the deepest vault of Gringotts; Hidden by the centaurs, the location hidden in the ancient stars; Or, with the Giants, it disappeared. ”

"In short, there are different opinions, but the history is long, and it is completely impossible to verify the whereabouts." The old man stood with his hands in his hands and said indifferently: "No one knows where it is." ”

"Maybe it's ruined." Rove interjected.

"It's possible, after all, that weapon was stained with the blood of that powerful wizard." Gaunt glanced at the boy and smiled kindly:

"Anyway, it's all some ethereal legends, who really went through that era and knows the exact truth?

Even Nicol Lemay, who has lived the longest time, is only 600 years old, and if the history of mankind is shortened to an hour, he will not even take a second. ”

Gunter laughed and said, "In short, if I say it, you just listen to it." ”

For a moment, everyone was silent, and Gunter walked towards the great door, and he walked in along the crack in the stone door, and half of his body disappeared into it, and turned his head and said:

"I'll show you around this room, and I've been digging for a long time to get through this door."

Gaunt disappeared behind the door, followed by the trio.

Rove's first impression when he entered the room was that it was stuffy, and the room was like a huge stove that made people feel hot all over.

He looked up again, and saw a square hall a hundred feet high, with two rows of stone pillars towering in the center, carved in the shape of the trunks of giant trees, supporting the ceiling.

The ceiling is painted with a brilliant starry sky, and different line drawings are superimposed on it to show various star signs.

"This is the Hermitage of the Giant City, and geothermal energy is constantly coming from the ground, so the royal family of the Giants will live in the winter."

Gaunt stepped forward, his footsteps stirring up a thick layer of dust on the floor, and he reminded:

"Watch your step, it's full of giants' remains."

Rove looked down and did see a pile of huge skulls, lying on the dead floor, looking as if they had been dead for thousands of years.

After walking for a long time, they walked to the end of the room, and on the top of the steps, there was a huge chair, sitting on an incomparably large withered white corpse, with empty eye sockets, as if looking down on everyone.

"On the chair sat Andal VI, the last king of the Giants, and the bones on the ground were also royal.

Their death led to the direct closure of the Giant City, and the brilliant civilization of the Giant was completely lost in the long river of history. ”

"How did they die?" Rove asked.

"Great question." A faint smile appeared on Gaunt's face:

"As I excavated the city of giants, I pieced together a terrible truth, and that these giants had been killed by Andal VI.

He tricked the giants into the Winter Palace, locked the gates, and made them kill each other, and finally Andal VI died here. ”

"Isn't it hard to believe that?" Gaunt turned around, looked at the three of them, and sighed:

"But brutality, bloodthirstiness and cannibalism are the nature of giants, otherwise this race, which once had a great civilization, would not be on the verge of extinction."

Gaunt said to himself:

"As for why giants like to kill each other so much, it is said that it is caused by the marriage of close relatives, the number of giants is scarce, and brothers and sisters often marry each other, resulting in a somewhat extreme personality."

"Of course, there is also a rumor......"

The old man paused, and said in an old voice:

"In that war, the giant finally dismembered that powerful enemy with his own hands, and blood splattered on him...... Inflict an eternal curse on the Giants.

That is, they will always kill each other until the entire race is destroyed. ”

Hearing the word curse, Rove narrowed his eyes very sensitively.

He knew that the wizard had a bloodline curse, but he didn't expect that the giant was also burdened with a terrible curse.

In this way, the price of sealing that ancient wizard is really terrible.

"Corvinus, I think we should go back." Newt suddenly said, "Tina is still waiting for us at home, and if she doesn't go back, she should be in a hurry." ”

"Well, I did delay you for a long time." Gaunt smiled apologetically, "I'll take you out." ”

The old man raised his arm again, and the three of them gently held it back to the ground.

Newt quickly opened his chest and prepared to summon the fire dragon, while Gaunt walked up to Rove, looked at him, and said with a smile on his face:

"Rove, I have to say sorry to you about the time converter.

I didn't expect my silent man, Saul Crocker, to be controlled by Peter Pettigrew with the Imperius Curse, causing you a lot of trouble, which was an oversight of me, the director of the Department of Mysteries. ”

"Mr. Gaunt, the trouble is solved." Rove said calmly, "But the time turner has exploded. ”

"Explode, just a time turner." Gaunt didn't care, he invited:

"Kid, I see you seem to be fascinated by giants? Are you interested in coming to work in my Department of Mysteries? I also have a lot of information and information here that you can browse. ”

Rove was surprised that Gaunt would invite him to be a silent man, and after a moment of pause, he shook his head and refused:

"After I graduated, I still wanted to be a magizoologist."

Gaunt smiled dumbly, "I asked your grandfather about it back then, and his reasons for rejecting me are exactly the same as yours, you Scamander." ”

"Good-bye, young Mr. Scamander and Miss Swinton."

Gaunt looked at Rove, then at Shirley, and finally said with a bright smile:

"One day, we will meet again."
