#479 - Chapter 479: Inspire Them with Love

On the day of the opening of Hogwarts, Lucius took the opportunity of sending his child to school to contact Sebastian and brought him an important piece of information.

The Dark Lord was very satisfied with Macnair's progress and personally granted him a special privilege: to call out the Dark Lord's name in times of crisis to ensure the success of the plan to win over the giants.

This information gave Sebastian an opportunity to fleece old Voldemort and continue to improve his dragon bone wand.

Unfortunately, he had also tried sparring with Dumbledore and Grindelwald, but perhaps due to mental factors, the improvement of the dragon bone wand was minimal.

So, after receiving Lucius's information, Sebastian contacted Madame Maxime, the headmistress of Beauxbatons, using his magic phone, reminding her of Macnair's movements and the possibility of infighting among the giants. He also told her that if the giants did start fighting, he could personally go and help.

To be honest, if it weren't for fleecing old Voldemort, Sebastian wouldn't have cared about the giants' thoughts at all, nor would he have cared which side the giants would fall to.

The reason was simple: the giants were extremely irritable and not very bright. It wasn't wise to make them allies. Only someone like Voldemort, who only cared about the giants' fighting power, would ignore their shortcomings.

In the magical world, dragons have even worse tempers than giants, but they are intelligent, know how to read the situation, and know how to maintain relatively friendly relations with wizards.

But giants are different. They are capricious and will start fighting at the slightest dissatisfaction, even causing group brawls.

According to the history of magic, the reason why the number of giants is decreasing day by day is largely due to their infighting.

As a result, wizards are too lazy to care about these big, stupid guys, and just drive them into some deep forests and let them fend for themselves.

The phone call Sebastian had just received was from Madame Maxime. After putting away the magic phone, he prepared to go and help.

However, this matter was not so easy, because the distance was too far, and the range of Apparition was not enough.

Madame Maxime and Hagrid had found a giant tribe in Belarus. The two of them had traveled through France, Germany, Poland, and the capital of Belarus, Minsk.

The fastest way to get there was to use a long-distance Portkey, but Sebastian had never been to the giant tribe, so he couldn't make a Portkey on his own.

Therefore, he needed to find a special means of transportation to help him reach his destination quickly, otherwise, by the time he got there, Macnair would have completed his mission and disappeared.

............

At the same time, the infighting in the giant tribe had reached a fever pitch. Hagrid hid in a secluded cave, listening to the giants' roars with great anxiety.

Seeing Madame Maxime put away her magic phone, he hurried forward: "How is it, Olympe, what did Sebastian say?"

"He will be here soon," Madame Maxime looked at Hagrid, giving him a reassuring look. "The giants won't be able to decide the outcome for a while, let's wait for him."

"We can only wait here," Hagrid said with a disappointed face. "There's nothing we can do. I have failed Dumbledore's trust and failed to complete the mission of subduing the giants."

"It's not your fault, Hagrid." Madame Maxime picked up her wand and checked the protective magic in the cave again. After confirming that everything was fine, she gently sat on a large rock.

"It's just... the giant leader is too stubborn and doesn't believe us at all."

Madame Maxime was also very helpless. The process of their contact with the giant tribe was very smooth, and they easily found the strongest Gurg, a giant leader named Karkus.

With the deterrence of the Gurg, the other giants did not dare to act rashly, and the two of them successfully presented a branch of Gillyweed, which Karkus liked very much.

After learning that the two of them were sent by Dumbledore, Karkus enthusiastically found two giants who could understand English to translate.

For the sake of safety, Madame Maxime did not mention Dumbledore's invitation on the first day. After all, the giants had been reduced to living in such a ravine, which was inseparable from the efforts of the wizards.

Therefore, they were very resentful of wizards. If they rashly mentioned fighting for wizards, the giant tribe would likely attack them in a group.

Madame Maxime also did not mention that Karkus's subordinates might rebel. After all, it was the first time they met, and Karkus had no reason to believe an outsider.

They just talked about the giants' lives and the current situation in the magical world, and then left the giant tribe in advance.

In the following days, the two of them would come to the giant tribe once a day, offering new gifts, and then, in the process of deepening their relationship, gradually revealing Dumbledore's invitation and reminding Karkus to pay attention to his subordinates.

Karkus was not disgusted by Dumbledore's invitation. Even in the deep mountains, he had heard of Dumbledore's name and knew that he was against killing the last batch of giants in Britain.

However, he scoffed at the idea of his subordinates rebelling. He firmly believed that he was the strongest giant in the tribe, and none of his subordinates dared to challenge his authority. Moreover, Hagrid and Madame Maxime could not say which of his subordinates had signs of rebellion, which made him even less likely to believe what they said.

Unfortunately, reality slapped Karkus hard in the face. Tonight, another giant, Golgomath, led his recruited subordinates to directly challenge Karkus.

The two sides fought into a团, and the valley was filled with their roars.

"I don't know how Karkus is now, whether he is Golgomath's opponent," Madame Maxime's voice was full of worry. "If Golgomath wins, then we don't have to think about winning over the giants anymore."

Hagrid wanted to say something nice to make his goddess not worry too much, but he couldn't convince himself, so he could only sigh softly.

"Alas..."

Suddenly, a ball of fire appeared in the cave, accompanied by a clear phoenix cry. Sebastian, holding Fawkes, appeared in front of the two.

"Thank you for your hard work, Fawkes, go back and tell old Dumbledore that everything is fine here, and I can absolutely guarantee the safety of Madame Maxime and Hagrid."

Saying that, he released his magical perception, and after figuring out the situation in the valley, he turned and walked out of the cave.

"Madame Maxime, Hagrid, you just stay in the cave and don't move around. Come out after it's quiet outside."

"Sebastian," Madame Maxime quickly instructed, "The giants hate wizards very much, don't use magic against them. Also, we have already befriended the giant leader Karkus, I will go out with you and help you identify him."

"Thank you for your kindness, Madame Maxime, but now the giants are red-eyed and have no reason at all."

Saying that, Sebastian's figure began to change, directly turning into a dragon-human form. He carried a huge mace, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Don't worry, I will use love to influence them, let them put down their violence, and listen to me obediently."
