Chapter 348: First Contact with the Gods - After the Battlefield, Search
"We know where the Death Eaters' secret stronghold on the island is."
As soon as Owen apparitioned into the camp on his front foot, Sirius found him on his back foot, and he said with excitement and urgency: "When I questioned the giants of the Volcanic Tribe in the morning, a giant who had been in contact with the Death Eaters told us that their stronghold was on the north side of the island, in a valley bottom. ”
"The bottom? North? "Owen who returned to the tent with Sirius.
While holding Shylock, he was groomed.
His brow furrowed slightly, he had just gone north to look for it. Originally, he thought that those furnace lives were ruining life everywhere, and the earth was full of traces of them, and it should not be difficult to find them.
But in reality, those traces were quickly gone. It's as if someone has erased their traces.
Then Owen, who couldn't find his direction, ran around aimlessly, trying to hit his luck, but unfortunately, he didn't let him crash out.
Now that I think about it, it must have been the Death Eaters who covered up the place where the portkey was hidden, maybe it was a phantom charm, maybe some other spell, in short, it was obscuring his vision.
And his perception?
This is unusual, and it is not an easy means to block his perception.
It seems that the water on this island in the sky is very deep!
"Yes." He breathed a sigh of relief, "Looks like our mission is finally coming to an end." ”
Just finding that portkey and destroying it will probably solve all of this.
That's what he thought.
"After lunch, we'll go over and have a look." He said.
"Me? Where are they? Owen was sitting on the couch, the body of the godskin messenger on the ground was gone, and I thought that Sirius should have brought it back to Hogwarts and handed it over to Dumbledore for study.
"Hmph—that's you!" He said unceremoniously, "Take your cat, I can't apparilate on this island." ”
"Whoa, what did I think it was? Can't you borrow Harry's firebolt and fly yourself? ”
"So whether you want to go or not!" Sirius glared at him in annoyance.
"Go—why not, I like to go to something like this that is full of danger and can cost me my life."
"What do you say?"
"Me? I'm messing your conscience, by the way, did it work? ”
"Stinky boy!" The dog godfather blew up instantly, he really wanted to beat this kid, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't win, and it would be very embarrassing, he would have pulled out his wand and rushed up.
"(ˉ▽ ̄~)cut~~"
With that, the others gradually returned to their tents.
The three are also Madame Maxim and Professor Lupin.
Hagrid seemed to be still with his mother, and Moody and Kingsley—their torture continued, and the interrogation of a dozen giants of the Volcano Clan, one by one, was really not a quick thing to do.
The lunch on the island in the sky is completely different from Hogwarts, and it is estimated that this meal was made by elves, but Sirius brought it here.
"Owen." Hermione called out to him.
"What's wrong?"
He turned his head to look and saw Hermione's face look embarrassed, as if something unspeakable.
"Most of the land here has been destroyed, and the giants' fields, as well as the animals of the forest, are almost all dead."
"You want them to move?" Owen said bluntly.
"That's right, now they are all injured, and it is impossible for them to rob the territory of other tribes, and the territory of the Volcano tribe is also a hell on earth. If we let it go, they will end up being swallowed up by other tribes, and even if they can barely resist the invasion of other tribes, they have no land, no source of food, are we going to keep them going? ”
"Well—that's right." Owen took a bite of the meat muffin.
Sirius, that stupid melon, why did you bring Hermione here
If she knew that the island was a cage used by wizards to imprison giants, she would do something about it.
Unlike the elves, his attitude towards giants is one - maintain the status quo.
Elves were on the side of wizards hundreds of years ago.
Like Dobby, even if he is free, he has respect for wizards, except for those dark wizards.
But the giants are different, they have a naked hostile relationship with the wizard, and this hostility continues to this day, and they clashed with the wizard decades ago.
It is impossible for a wizard to accept such a race returning to the wizarding world.
"But you must know that the giants are still in a hostile relationship with wizards, and decades ago, they were at war with wizards."
"I know, I didn't say I was going to free the giants." Miss Granger winked at him. "We can get a group first, isn't Hagrid going to take his mother back to the Forbidden Forest? I think that's a good direction to do to divide the giant tribes. ”
"Pull a batch, press a batch, hit a batch." Owen then took a sip of the broth, thought about it, and ate another bite of the salad.
Miss Granger has grown!
This is indeed a way, and it is the most correct and benign way to divide and suppress this race without completely exterminating it.
But the problem is that this method is too time-consuming and requires a huge agency to manage.
It wasn't something Hermione could do with a pat on the head.
How to manage the migration of giants into the Forbidden Forest?
Who will manage?
Will the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest welcome them?
Are there any other magical beasts?
If these problems are not solved, rash moves in will only create disaster.
"But that's a long-term perspective." Owen thought for a moment, then turned to look at Hermione.
"Well—Sirius brought supplies that would allow them to hold out for a while, and there was no need to rush too much." Hermione wasn't trying to convince everyone at once, she just made a suggestion to let everyone know that they had such a choice.
Don't think about the worst.
"Owen." Harry suddenly opened his mouth to discuss something with him.
He looked up at Owen.
Then I saw Owen reaching out to pull away the strands of hair that had accidentally stuck to Hermione's lips while eating.
Suddenly, Harry wanted to go back to the castle - if tomorrow was when he died, then his wish today must be to find a girl to fall in love with!
Ahem - Harry, who came back from the show, remembered what he was going to say.
"That Owen - there's someone next to him!" He said.
"Cut, what's wrong with someone?" Owen glared at him, "Look at you, there is a certain wizard who is ready to make his own heir when he is old?"
Looking at the number of wizards, it has been steadily declining year by year over the years, and it is estimated that in one or two hundred years, wizards will become extinct.
Hmph - you'll know when the time comes, I'm all credit now, I'm for all wizards! ”
Hearing the sound, everyone's faces at the table suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Except for Hermione, her face flushed slightly.
As for the others, Harry Ron didn't mention it, Sirius, Lupin, and Madame Maxim were all older and single, although Madame Maxim and Hagrid were very close, but it was just an ambiguous period, no one confessed, and no one confirmed the other's thoughts.
As for Sirius and Professor Lupin.
One loves Harry's dad.
One wants to be lonely because of his identity.
In short, these people have no plans to get married at present, or even in recent years.
"Ahem—" Professor Lupin coughed awkwardly, then lowered his head and began to settle his lunch.
And Sirius—he didn't care, he had no intention of marrying a wife anyway.
Not before, not now.
Not to mention that it is now in the middle of the Second Wizarding War. He didn't even have the heart to do that.
It's also strange to say, wizards are obviously immortal species, ordinary wizards can have a lifespan of two hundred and fifty years, logically speaking, a species with a long lifespan, three hundred and sixty-five days a year in estrus, their number cannot be small.
But now, it is strange that a wizard who got married at the age of nineteen or twenty and gave birth to a child in his early twenties has never been able to raise the population.
Could it be that magic is the urbanization of wizards?
Is it the best contraceptive?
"Uh-" Harry, who was about to say something, was successfully led away by Owen again, and he turned his head to look at his godfather with bright green eyes.
yes - isn't Sirius going to get married?
If he had children—could he be the godfather of children?
Okay, it's a bit of a mess, but it doesn't matter, he and Sirius can go their separate ways.
Then Harry looked at Professor Lupin.
For the last year, Professor Lupin seems to have been doing well, his clothes and complexion are very clean and tidy, but he is still single.
Wait, all of a sudden, Harry felt like he might have touched some kind of forbidden door, with Owen's earnest teachings and the lessons of some headmaster
Sirius and Professor Lupin won't.
Impossible, impossible! Sirius he knows very well, it's a straight man, dare to love and hate, if he really does it in his heart. Daily behavior, will definitely be revealed.
Could it be Professor Lupin's unrequited love?
Wow – that's possible.
Harry's eyes were on fire, and it was nice that two of his favorite professors had come together
Harry Potter's eyes became more and more strange, and the smile on his face became more and more flamboyant.
Sirius and Lupin were stared at by him with goosebumps all over their bodies, and the chills were born from head to toe.
And Harry, who was smiling at his aunt, naturally caught Owen's attention.
As clever as he had quickly figured out what was in Harry's head.
Don't guess - it must have been tainted by the journals produced by some evil rotten girl organization in the castle, otherwise Harry would not have understood so much.
I just don't know if Hermione saw it—hiss, it's disgusting! Disgusting! Disgusting to death!
"By the way, what did you tell me to do?" He glanced at Harry, disgusted by Harry Potter's idiot expression.
Especially when he's staring at two big men.
"Look-I'm still staring at people, don't look at it, I'm shy when I don't see people blushing."
Owen added fuel to the fire.
"Hmm-" Like a thief who had been caught stealing, Harry quickly withdrew his gaze, and the smile on his face became embarrassed.
Then he nodded calmly, coughed lightly, and said, "Actually, I just want to learn some spells from you."
It's the kind you cast yesterday. ”
"I want to learn too!" Ron raised his hand, unaware of Harry's thoughts.
He's been working just now.
When he heard that Harry wanted to learn magic, he immediately stopped doing what he was doing.
Yesterday Owen rode a dragon to summon the stars, hook the earth, and cause a volcanic eruption, and the figure, the magic, was like a god.
It's so handsome that it explodes.
Although Hermione is not bad, she can also cast powerful origin magic when dealing with the Omen Legion, but Hermione's magic is not as powerful as Owen's spell in terms of area coverage and the power of the spell.
The kind of chic that turns the world upside down, shifting stars and changing the moon, which wizard is not envious?
As long as you have a magic wand in your hand, you don't want to be able to wave your hand to open the mountain, raise your hand to break the sea, and the four regions don't care.
It's the ultimate romance for wizards!
"I want to learn! OK! Just give the money! ”
"Uh-how much do you want?" Harry, who had expected Owen to say this, asked cautiously, his small coffers could no longer withstand lavish spending, and his wealth had shrunk seriously in just four years.
I really don't know if I'll be able to make it to adulthood.
As for Sirius, he knew something about the Black family's wealth, Owen had told him, and Harry believed that as long as he asked for it, Sirius would definitely throw him a large sum of gold Galleons without asking for any reason, and he might even give him all his possessions directly.
But he definitely can't ask for it, he's not Malfoy, and he'll work hard to make money and support himself in the future.
"How much?" Owen raised an eyebrow, "It's definitely going to be a reasonable price."
First of all, you have to understand what origin magic is.
Origin, origin, as the name suggests, is the magic used to explore the original appearance of magic, such as the three major spells of stargazing, which were invented by wizards by observing the planets.
The five curses of calamity were invented through disasters in the natural world.
This type of magic is far more powerful than Professor Durmstrang's war magic.
With such a powerful spell, how much do you think I should charge you for such a spell? Owen spread his hands and looked heartbroken, "So be it! Five hundred Galleons for a spell! ”
"Five hundred?"
"Hey, don't be too expensive." Owen continued, "I'm the only one in the wizarding world, you're too expensive, I'm too expensive.
Do you know how high the development cost is and how high the sunk cost is!
Hey—five hundred Galleons, and no discounts! You have to study the psychology of Miss Zhang. You're already behind, you know? Owen's seductive voice rang in Harry's ears, "Girls like romance, you have a spell, meteors fall from the sky, how romantic."
Cedric from our academy, you know?
He is a warrior, and he has shined this semester, even if he didn't win in the end, he was also in the limelight.
You're catching up now, so it's not expensive to charge you five hundred. ”
Owen rambled on and on. From love experience to girls' psychology, if you don't know him, you may really believe it.
And among the two, the first to cover his ears was Ron.
Don't listen or don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures.
Five hundred Galleons, why don't you grab it!
"Five hundred Galleons! Why don't you grab it! ”
Yes?
I didn't speak, huh? Ron froze, then turned to look at Sirius, who was glaring at Owen.
"Rob? How can you grab it so fast, hum! No wonder you can't find a girlfriend, you are reluctant to buy a spell for 500 yuan, I dare say, Senior Tom will definitely be willing to pay this money! ”
"What, you still want to join the Death Eaters?" Sirius's face froze, and then he looked at him with a smile, his cheeks trembling and angry
"Who would join the Death Eaters! There is no future, I want to set up a war consulting company, eat at both ends! Sell the spell as an armament! Ha ha! I'm sure I'll get rich! ”
“.”
Owen's ambition immediately attracted the onlookers of the wizards present, and of course, the projection was not very friendly.
I feel like looking at his eyes, like looking at poisonous seedlings and talking about rat.
Well, in the end, Miss Granger couldn't stand the strange looks.
She glared at Owen before whispering to Harry and Ron, "I think we can start a study society and make time to learn magic together." ”
"Hey—how can you do this, give money for nothing!" Owen was suddenly unhappy.
However, Hermione didn't get used to him, and continued, "These spells can be handed over to you. ”
"Oh! Oh, my God! Hermione, you're an angel. Harry said excitedly.
"That's right, you're generous compared to a stingy guy!"
"Weasley, what did you say!" Owen looked at him, "Is the skin loose, or should I help you tighten?" ”
Someone stingy jumped out at once.
The four little ones started a new round of chirping.
Until the end of this lunch.
The death and sorrow that filled the tent were gone, and the joy was over.
It's weird - as long as you're with Owen, happiness is always inseparable.
It's like never leaving.
In the afternoon, everyone started their work again.
Work that comes from kindness.
After a little preparation, Sirius and Owen set out to find the possible portkey.
After a few apparitions.
They left the gathering place of the British giants.
The surrounding elevation is still rising, and the temperature is still decreasing.
The giants that reappeared on both sides were probably originally from the Nordic region, and they were more resistant to cold than the British giants.
In the distance, a majestic mountain block their way.
The sprawling mountain stretch, with its back to the south, is overgrown with lush pine trees.
Owen had been here in the morning, and when he saw the green forest, he went elsewhere.
After all, if there was a furnace of life here, how could there be a forest in front of it?
"Right ahead." Sirius and Owen stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the endless mountains in the distance.
"The giants of the Volcano Tribe say that those godskin emissaries came out of these mountains."
