After solving the giant's crisis, Kyle and the others did not leave here as soon as possible, but prepared to follow the giant to their tribe.

But before leaving, Kyle looked at the Death Eaters on the ground and asked, "What about him, does he take it with him?" ”

"Leave it to me." Hagrid pulled out a round mirror, stepped aside and whispered something to it.

Seriously, the mirror wasn't huge, it was about the same as the one the girl carried, and when Hagrid held it, it was like a freshly baked corn chip, as if it could crush it at any moment.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

After a while, two small black dots fell from the sky, and almost in the blink of an eye, they came to several people.

Sirius and Lupin staggered to the ground.

"Hello, Mr. Scamander, Ms. Maxim." Lupin tossed a stone to the side, they had come through the portkey, but it was useless now.

"Oh, and Kyle, Hagrid, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Remus." Hagrid said, "I was worried that the mirror wouldn't work. ”

"I've always been in a two-way mirror." Lupin also took out a round mirror and said with a smile, "As long as you call my name, I can hear it immediately, how about it, there is no danger." ”

"Fortunately, it's all settled." Hagrid said.

Then he briefly recounted what had just happened...... Mainly because when he arrived, the whole valley was covered in a thick fog, and he didn't see anything in more detail.

And while they were talking, Sirius on the other side had already spotted the Death Eater lying on the ground, and he walked over, and when he saw the other person's appearance, the whole person suddenly froze in place.

It wasn't until he was tapped on the shoulder that he came to his senses.

"What's wrong?" Lupin asked.

"Ah, nothing." Sirius shook his head, his gaze still resting on the Death Eater, "Do you know who he is?" ”

"Lestrange?" Lupin looked over and said with some surprise.

Although he had already learned the news from Hagrid, it was a different feeling when he saw it with his own eyes.

Because the other party is their old acquaintance, they have dealt with each other more than ten years ago.

"yes, Lestrange." Sirius shook his head, "Remember when he was in school?" That high-spirited look. ”

"Of course, I remember that the Slytherin man of the year is also the prefect and the president of the boys' student council." "It's a pity that he later took refuge in the mysterious man." ”

"Why, you know him?" At this point, Kyle said with some curiosity, "You don't usually feel so much sentiment about a dead Death Eater. ”

"Sentimental? How can it be! Sirius shook his head, "It's just that we had a lot of interactions when we were in school, and he's the husband of my cousin Bellatrix, so he's a relative." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry." Hagrid subconsciously said, "I didn't mean to ......"

"What stupid are you talking about, Hagrid." Sirius glanced at him, "He's a Death Eater, why are you sorry, even if I was here, I'd have killed him."

"And when it comes to relatives, we pure-blood families are more or less related, and I don't know him well."

"Aren't you still cellmates?" Kyle muttered to him.

Sirius was stunned for a moment, then glared back at Kyle angrily.

"Well, you're right." He muttered, "Lestrange was next door to me, and he said he was going to kill me, but after a month he couldn't say anything...... This idiot. ”

As he spoke, Lupin had already carried Lestrange on his shoulders.

"We've got to go, Alastor they're still waiting." He said, pulling another stone out of his pocket.

"So fast?"

"Don't forget, the portkeys have a time...... "Lupin said, "and we can't help much here." ”

"Okay then." Sirius put his hand on the stone, "Do you want to go back together?" We can be together. ”

"Nope." "We have other things to do and we can't go back just yet," Newt said. ”

"We'll be in touch if there's any situation." Lupin waved his hand.

With that, the two disappeared again.

Then, Kyle and his party prepare to visit the Giant Tribe.

According to Newt, they had to make sure that there really was nothing wrong with the giants.

"But is this really possible?"

As the group walked in the direction the giant had left, Kyle asked with some concern, "We just stopped the giant from joining the Mystery, and the Death Eaters who came here were killed and wounded." What if the mystery is not popular, what if he comes here in person, we are no match for him. ”

"Don't worry, the mysterious man won't come." Newt shook his head and said:

"Before leaving, Dumbledore had said that the Mystic Man looked down on all magical beasts, and would not treat the Death Eaters who followed him seriously, but only used them as tools.

"It's certain that he will be angry, but only because the orders he gave were not fulfilled, and he will not change his original plan and personally avenge them."

"And even if he comes, we have a way to deal with it." Newt swore by it.

Seeing this, Kyle didn't say anything more, just walked along with the other three people, following the huge footprints on the ground.

The location of the Giant Tribe was farther than he thought, and the footprints kept stretching forward, and there was no edge in sight.

After walking for about a day, they finally came to a more secluded valley, which was supposed to be the middle of the mountain.

And for some reason, the insects and birds that never stopped along the way have all disappeared unconsciously, and there seems to be something terrible that makes them reluctant to approach here.

Led by Newt, the group came to a hillside and looked down from a distance.

Below is a valley surrounded by huge caves that have been dug out by man.

And the giants they had seen before were now gathering in front of the cave and fighting.

"It's a selection of the new Gugo." Newt said, "The giants will choose the strongest one to be their leader, and the easiest way to do that is through this kind of scuffle. ”

"It's about the same as a fire dragon." Kyle whispered.

They had seen a similar situation when they were in the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary before?

"Pretty much, indeed." Newt nodded, "Or most magical beasts will pick the most suitable leader this way, and giants and fire dragons are no exception. ”

As they spoke, the valley was turning red with blood.

It was the blood of giants, sprinkled like a fountain, staining every stone red.

"I don't know how much they will have left after the selection of the new Guge this time." There was something strange in Maxim's voice.

"Don't worry...... Newt shook his head, "Although the giants will kill the former Gugo to determine the identity of their new leader, this is different now. In order not to lose too much combat power, they do not kill their opponents...... Oh, you see. ”

Newt pointed to the valley below.

Following the direction of his finger, Kyle saw a relatively thin giant being knocked to the ground with a punch, but instead of killing him, his opponent immediately found himself a new one.

At the same time, the giant who fell to the ground did not continue to participate in the battle after getting up, but consciously came to the side.

There were also lower, or thinner giants, who were not qualified to fight.

"See." Newt continued: "In this case, falling to the ground means defeat, and the last giant standing becomes the new Gugo until the next challenger emerges. ”

Kyle looked at it for a moment.

Sure enough, every giant who fell to the ground would consciously withdraw from the battlefield.

……

Just like when they were in the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary, the battle between the giants was a long one.

After quickly knocking out a few of the weakest contenders, the remaining giants entered a tug-of-war.

Kyle: They had been on the hill for a whole week, and the battle wasn't over yet.

Kyle, who was in high spirits at first, was also a little bored at this time.

The battle between the giants back and forth is so tactical, you give me a punch and I give you a kick, the excitement of punching to the flesh is really interesting to watch for the first time, but it's a bit boring to watch for seven days in a row.

The good news was that they didn't see Voldemort or the Death Eaters during this time.

As Newt said, Voldemort didn't seem to have come to avenge Lestrange...... No, to be precise, they didn't mean to trouble them.

"The Death Eaters attacked St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries......"

When Kyle came out of the tent that morning, he saw Hagrid talking to Lupin in a two-way mirror.

Because owls reveal their location, they have been using this way to understand the situation outside.

"The Death Eaters attacked St. Mungo?" Hearing Lupin say this, Hagrid couldn't help but shout, "How dare they! ”

"In fact, they did." "The good news is that they were attacking with a purpose, and most people weren't attacked for it......

At this point, Kyle walked over and looked into the two-way mirror.

"Oh, Kyle." Lupin greeted, "How are you there, you are not in any danger." ”

"Of course not." Kyle said. "By the way, the Death Eaters attacked St. Mungo, it shouldn't be for the Longbottoms......"

"No, it's not ......"

Lupin's voice was a little strange, as if he wanted to laugh, but held back.

"It's for Umbridge." He said.

"What?" Hagrid plucked out his ears, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Dolores Umbridge." Lupin said again, "The Death Eaters attacked the ward she was in and tortured her again in front of everyone. ”

"Huh?"

Hagrid's expression was even more puzzled, "But why, that Umbridge is not a member of the Order of the Phoenix." ”

"But she's from the Ministry of Magic, and she's also a well-known anti-dark magic person, especially since some time ago, her name often appeared in the newspapers."

The Death Eater also said......" Lupin paused suddenly, as if trying to calm his emotions, and after a moment pretended to be nonchalant and continued:

"The Death Eaters also said that this was the end of the fight against the Dark Lord, and they wanted Umbridge to say in front of everyone that the people of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix were all rubbish, and that they would never be able to defeat the Dark Lord."

"Did Umbridge say that?" Hagrid asked anxiously.

“…… Not really. Lupin's expression was even stranger.

"That's fine." Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that I looked away before, but I didn't expect her to be a hard bone...... If she said that in front of everyone, we would be disgraced. ”

"Hagrid......" Kyle patted him on the arm, "what do you think Death Eaters would usually use to torture people?" ”

"The Diamond Spell, of course." Hagrid said without thinking, waving his arm hard, "Those bastards, they've tortured members of the Order of the Phoenix in this way before. ”

"That's the crux of the matter." Kyle said, "Do you think a person who is suffering from the Curse can say anything?" ”

"Huh? Can't you? Hagrid was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, "I've been hit by the Mind Drill Charm before, and although that feeling is painful, it's just like that, it's not to the point where you can't speak......"

"Don't forget you're a half-blood giant." Kyle rubbed his forehead and said, "Giant's bloodline gives you extraordinary resistance to spells, but ordinary wizards don't have that advantage. ”

"Oh." Hagrid nodded understandingly.

Kyle didn't explain that much, though, and looked at Lupin in the two-way mirror, ready to ask for more details.

But at this moment, Newt's voice came from not far away.

"It's finally time to decide."

After hearing his words, Kyle didn't bother to talk to Lupin anymore and hurriedly ran over.

By this time, the valley had turned a dark red, and even from this distance, Kyle could smell the smell of blood in the air.

There were only two giants left in the valley who staggered there, and by the time Kyle had passed, they had just raised their fists at the same time and slammed each other in the face.

There is no skill, it is just a simple collision of forces.

A moment later, the giant on the left shook his body, and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang.

"Bang!"

The giant on the right raised his head and let out a deafening roar.

At the same time, the giants in the cave came out one after another and knelt before him in submission.

"Looks like he's the new Gugo." Newt said. "Wait for me."

With that, he disappeared and appeared not far from the giant.

The giants who were kneeling on the ground immediately stood up vigilantly.

Because of the distance, Kyle couldn't hear what they were saying, and all he saw was Newtpin's arms outstretched, his head down, and he walked slowly forward with a strange step, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.

And the giants gradually let their guard down, and only surrounded their new gugo in the middle.

"Are we going to help?" Hagrid asked, somewhat nervously, "It's too close, and if they rush up, Mr. Scamander will be in danger." ”

"Ah, don't worry." Kyle looked at it for a moment, then waved his hand and said.

He knew it was Newt's unique way of dealing with magical beasts.

If he wasn't completely sure, he wouldn't have gone to see the giant alone.

And in the roar of the giants, there is no such irritability and threat as at the beginning, and it is clear that Newt has succeeded.

With that, the rest is much simpler, and Newt has a lot of experience.

They can't help much in the past, they can only exacerbate the contradictions.

"It's amazing......"

Maxim on the side sighed: "Although I have known for a long time that Mr. Scamander has extraordinary abilities in magical beasts, it is still shocking to see it with my own eyes.

"The giant tribe that just selected Guge, but when he was most nervous and irritable, he was able to gain the trust of the other party so easily."

She thought about when she and Hagrid had been here before.

They have giant blood, but even so, they lowered their posture and gave gifts, and they tossed for a long time before they finally got the opportunity to meet Gu Ge.

As a result, Newt can do it in minutes now, and it's much more difficult than they were then.

Either they are professional, the gap is too big, it's like a gap that can't see the edge, and even the innate advantages can't catch up.

After stopping Hagrid, Kyle prepares to continue asking Lupin about the wizarding world, but the other party seems to have something else going on and has disappeared from the two-way mirror.
