Chapter 474: Gifts (modified)

Through the family medal quietly carried by Lucius Malfoy, Allen determined the location, teleported to him, and walked invisible to him.

Sitting in the roots of a huge tree, Lucius chewed a dry sandwich with a blank expression, taking a sip of brandy in an angled kettle that he carried with him to get rid of the cold. McNeill, the tall, thin Death Eater who was walking with him, was standing on a boulder and looking down the ridge.

At this moment, a vague voice suddenly sounded in Lucius's heart: "Lucius, this is Alan Harris, please relax, don't try to run the brain closure surgery to resist."

Lucius put down the sandwich in his hand, pretending to be doing nothing, and quickly scanned the surrounding environment, but no trace of Allen was found.

"Don't worry, Lucius, they won't find me. It's you, as soon as possible to complete the task of recruiting giants that Voldemort gave you, and then leave here." Allen commanded.

"But McNeil, who came with me, will not listen to me. He is very aggressive. He has proposed several times along the way to attack Hagrid. And this time, only me and the person I brought back with me. , I am afraid the Dark Lord will doubt me. "Lucius worried.

"I let you just take the giant back, and you take it back. McNeil wants to attack and he will attack it. I will deliberately save his life and let him go back. In this way, you have completed the recruitment of giants that Voldemort has arranged for you due to caution The mission to go back, and because he wanted to attack Hagrid, the Death Eater he brought not only suffered heavy casualties, but also failed to complete the recruitment mission. This will help you gain Voldemort's trust and get more information. Please Let everyone hear your warnings and exhortations to McNeil in this regard. You must know that I originally intended to control these giants, but since you told my father beforehand, it proves your value. So let you successfully recruit some giants to help you complete the task of Voldemort's account. I think this is a commitment I am very willing to bear. I hope you can seize this opportunity. Please speed it as soon as possible. "

Allen ’s words calmed Malfoy. All words of Allen spoke into his heart. When selling Voldemort to Harris to send a message to Harris, he was very anxious, worried that Harris would cross the river and demolish the bridge. His life and death began to act on the giant.

Without missing Malfoy's undetectable nod, Allen returned to Maggie's side.

Following the eyes of the house elf who was seriously responsible for tracking, Allen saw Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim under the tree. In this huge virgin forest, Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim looked very harmonious. The elegant lady was not as coquettish as Hagrid imagined, lying on the floor in Hagrid's jacket, with her head resting on Hagrid's legs, and Hagrid tenderly looked at Mrs. Maxim's peaceful sleeping face, One hand lifted gently, quietly touching her hair.

Allen did not disturb the two men, and moved quietly to the commanding heights he had already observed. That position could give a glimpse of the scene under the ridge.

From a distance, countless huge shadows under the ridge fell across the ground, and their sleeping positions were different: they were wildly laid out in large letters, curled up, and cuddling ...

The degree of civilization of giants can be seen only from the sleeping position. Some older giants with wrinkled skin do not sleep directly on the floor like those strong young giants. They are covered with thick thatch and animal skin. Their dress is also closer to the dress of human civilization and society, unlike other uncivilized young giants who are naked, only covering private parts.

The grunts of the giants were frightening and caused an avalanche even before the sun appeared.

After dawn, Mrs. Maxim arranged her clothes, leaned her head and did not look at Hagrid, her face unnaturally lifted two red clouds, although her taller than Hagrid made her not very suitable for showing this expression……

After returning to her former elegance, Mrs. Maxim took out a Gubrai fairy fire from the pearl-free, seamlessly folded pouch and handed it to Hagrid.

Hagrid blinked and lifted up the Gubulai fairy fire high, and the two went straight down the mountain.

Allen saw their goal at a glance-the leader of the giant, Gu Ge, in the depression between the four mountains, near a mountain lake, Gu Ge lying on the lake, roaring to feed him and his wife.

Gu Ge's body is the largest of all giants, about 22 or 33 feet tall, as heavy as two male elephants, and has rough skin like a rhinoceros. He is also the ugliest and laziest, sitting there waiting for others to give him things like dead sheep.

Hagrid and Mrs. Maxime went down the hill, Hagrid raised the gift high, staring at Gugo, and ignored the others. The other giants, who had been moving, knew from them that they had to be quiet after giving the leader a gift. They could only watch them walk by. They walked to the foot of Gu Ge, bowed, and put the gift in In front of him.

Hagrid put the Gubulai fairy fire that could burn forever on the snow at the foot of Gugo and said: "Albus Dumbledore's gift to the giant Gugo in tribute."

Gu Ge called for two old giants who had been in human society and could understand English and translate for them.

When the two giants told the giants present at the Kublai fairy fire that they could continue to burn and never extinguish, the camp was a commotion, and the giants were very happy.

At this time Hagrid said: "Albus Dumbledore talked about it, and when the messenger brought a gift tomorrow, he asked Gugo to talk to him."

Hagrid did n’t want to talk to Gugo on the day, but Dumbledore told him to take it slowly, let the Giants see them keep their promises—if he really brought gifts tomorrow, he would give them a good impression . And give them time to check the first gift and find that it is a good thing and want more.

And, giants like Gu Ge-say a lot at once, they will kill you, it's easy. So Hagrid and Olim bowed back and found a comfortable little cave for the night.

In the evening, Gugo sent a giant who was in charge of translation to inform them that a welcome banquet was held for Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim.

Giants set up grills and pots on top of burning campfires.

Some relatively small male giants who seem to have little status in the tribe cut wild onions, mashed wild garlic, peeled chestnuts, cut wild boar into small cubes, and threw them into a large pot on a campfire.

"When they start to emit heat, put the elk's dung in and pour it into horse urine ... Does it feel disgusting?" The elderly giant in charge of translation with sorrow in his eyes The life of giants in human society is like this. The lack of material makes them only get the so-called 'spices' from these things. "

Mrs. Maxim forcibly controlled her desire to vomit and turned her head.

Hagrid doesn't say hypocritical things like flattery, just scratches the back of the head with big hands.

"Wait later, you can just eat grilled meat, sprinkle only salt on it, remember to be rude, as long as you are eating, the giant will not pay attention to observe your preferences." The giant kindly gave advice , "Forgive me, I haven't communicated with you for a long time and made me forget your etiquette, please call me Leto."

"Thank you, Leto." Hagrid patted Leto's arm.

Like Mrs. Maxim, his eyes were searching among the giants, and he wanted to find his loved ones.

"What are you looking for?" Just as Hagrid was looking at the giant, Leto also watched them.

"Fried Wafa, I'm looking for her, she is my mother. Leto, do you know where she is?" Hagrid asked, looking up.

"Let me think about it," Leto bowed his head in a contemplative way, and Hagrid couldn't see his expression clearly, and only listened to him, "Ah, I remember, Friedwafa, that poor woman , She has been dead for years. "

Mrs. Maxim heard this, looked at Hagrid, and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"I'm okay, Olim," Hagrid looked at Mrs. Maxim's eyes brightly. "I don't remember her very much, she is not a good mother."

"Sorry, please allow me to leave first." Leto bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Alan, who had always been open to meditation, found that Leto had lied. He asked Maggie a few words, and Maggie silently followed.
