Chapter 465 Ural Mountains

This time, Levin had a profound understanding of how time-sensitive the communication method used by wizards through owls was.

When he received Hagrid's letter, it was already the second day after Hagrid sent it.

When he hurried to Hagrid's side, he found that they had penetrated deep into the vast Ural Mountains.

The figures of two hybrid giants are looming in front of them. Although they are moving fast, it is not difficult for Levin, who has the druid ability, to keep up with them. 0

He shuttled easily between the woods and mountains, feeling nature's response to him with every step he took. The land informed him of the road ahead, and weeds and thorns automatically gave way to the road - walking in the wilderness, Levin It's like returning to your own home.

It is summer at this time, but the temperature gradually drops as you go deeper into the mountains, and you can even see traces of snow.

After climbing over a tall ridge, they finally saw the giant's whereabouts.

Those majestic figures moved slowly in the valley in the distance, as if they were moving hills.

"Olim, we need to put away the magic."

Hagrid turned to Madame Maxime and pointed at the fluorescent wand in her hand.

Madame Maxime was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Hagrid meant.

She waved her wand gently and put away the [Dancing Lights].

The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, with only weak starlight shining on the ground.

Madame Maxime nodded slightly and smiled at Hagrid: "I always keep Dumbledore's warning in mind. The mysterious man is also coveting the giant, and maybe he has sent an envoy. We must be extra careful in this area and must not be exposed. Whereabouts, in case there are Death Eaters lurking nearby. I understand all this, Hagrid."

She gently adjusted the crooked black velvet shirt on her body and elegantly restored her dignified posture.

Madame Maxime was always like this, able to maintain her grace no matter what the situation.

The two of them just looked at the giants in front of them from a distance.

Mrs. Maxim suddenly sighed: "They are so tall."

Hagrid shrugged. For the first time, he felt that his height was a disadvantage.

Compared with those giants who are generally over six meters tall, he is like a dwarf.

However, the brave Hagrid had no intention of backing down. Just as he was about to take a firm step, he was gently held by a warm hand.

"For our safety, it may not be wise to approach the giant rashly now." Mrs. Maxim whispered, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Hagrid nodded in agreement.

He knew that being a hero at this time was not a wise choice.

Dumbledore entrusted him with such an important task, and he could not live up to this trust.

Moreover, he did not want to leave a reckless and careless impression on Olim.

In the gloomy night, Levin followed Hagrid and Madame Maxime quietly and heard their plan to wait until morning to see the giant.

He turned his head slightly and whispered to Oriana who was hiding in the dark: "Continue to keep an eye on them and report any movement to me immediately."

Then, he decided to change his strategy and go to see the surrendered Lucius Malfoy first.

As a price for surrender, a secret positioning magic was cast on Lucius Malfoy by Levin.

Of course, this magic rune is not as conspicuous as the Death Eater logo, but it is like an invisible shackle, allowing Naifen to keep track of his whereabouts at any time.

This was done not only to facilitate undercover work, but also to ensure that Lucius would not betray.

With the guidance of the locating rune, Levin easily determined Lucius's location.

He took a deep breath, teleported to Lucius, then activated the [Invisibility Technique], and cautiously walked towards Lucius.

At this time, Lucius was sitting at the root of a huge tree with no expression on his face.

He held a dry sandwich in his hand and took a sip of brandy from the angled kettle he carried with him from time to time, trying to dispel the coldness in his body.

The tall and thin Death Eater McNeil who was traveling with him stood on a boulder and looked warily at the situation below the mountain tower.

At this moment, a vague and mysterious voice suddenly sounded in Lucius's heart:

"Lucius, this is Levin Green. I am talking to you through [Psychic Link]. Please relax and do not try to run [Occlumency] resistance.

This voice made Lucius's heart tremble slightly.

He put down the sandwich in his hand, pretended to be nonchalant, and quickly scanned his surroundings. However, no matter how he looked, there was no trace of Levin.

"Lucius, you don't have to worry, they won't be able to find me." Levin reassured, "Your most important task now is to complete the mission of recruiting giants assigned to you by Voldemort as soon as possible, and then leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. .”

Lucius sighed softly and frowned: "But [McNeil, who is traveling with me, is an extremely aggressive person. He has suggested attacking Hagrid several times."

He said with some worry: "If you kill him and only my people are left in this mission, and go back empty-handed, I'm afraid the Dark Lord will be suspicious of me.

"I have already considered this issue. Just focus on recruiting giants, and leave the rest to me. If McNeil really wants to attack Hagrid, let him do it. I will help Hagrid secretly , but will also ensure that McNeil does not die unexpectedly, so that he can return to Voldemort.

Levin smiled slightly, his voice revealing a confident confidence.

"The facts will prove to the Dark Lord that you are right. Because you acted cautiously, you successfully completed the task Voldemort assigned you to recruit the giants back. But because he wanted to attack Hagrid, the Death Eaters he led not only There were heavy casualties, and the recruitment mission was not completed. The Dark Lord naturally knows who to trust."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lucius's eyes: "You mean, you will help me secretly?"

"That's right." Levin replied affirmatively, "I will not only ensure your safety in completing the mission, but I will also find a way for you to make a contribution in front of Voldemort. In this way, you can regain his trust and enter the Death Eater's circle. The inner circle will get more love for us. But all this requires your close cooperation."

"Please give me your orders, Master Levin." Lucius said seriously, "I will follow your arrangements.

"Lucius, listen carefully." Levin immediately ordered, "Next, I want you to warn McNeil again and ask him to act with caution. And you have to make sure that your warning is heard by everyone—— Let them all become witnesses that you have warned him. After that, you'd better take the giant back first. McNeil and his gang will be handed over to me, Chili.

Having said this, Levin paused, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a moment, he continued: "You have to know, it's not just the Dark Lord and Dumbledore who want to conquer the giants, these giants are equally important to me. I originally planned to control them, but since you took the initiative to provide this information , has proven your value as an undercover agent, then I am willing to make some concessions. I will let you successfully recruit some giants to help you complete the tasks assigned by Voldemort. This is the price I am willing to pay, and I hope you can cherish this time. Chance.

Lucius listened to Levin's words, and a warm current surged in his heart.

When he betrayed Voldemort and sent the message to Jaina before, he was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, fearing that the other party would abandon him after using him and start taking action against the giant regardless of his life or death.

But now it seems that both Gianna and Levin are very reliable loyal targets.

So Lucius replied firmly: ~Please rest assured! I will definitely seize this opportunity and do my best to complete the task!"

After receiving Lucius's affirmative reply, Levin nodded with satisfaction and then turned back to Orion's side.

Through the monitor of the scout robot sent by Orianna, Levin saw Hagrid and Madame Maxime under the tree.

Madame Maxime's demeanor was not diminished by the harsh environment. She lay lightly on Hagrid's slightly worn leather jacket, as if she were lying on the softest feather bed.

She rested her head on Hagrid's firm thighs, closed her eyes in trust, and fell into a sweet dream.

Hagrid, on the other hand, looked at her with an almost doting look. He gently raised his big hand and quietly stroked her hair with endless tenderness and caution.

Damn, I didn’t expect that one day, he would be able to eat Hagrid’s dog food.

Levin didn't want to disturb this rare moment of peace, he walked through the trees like a shadow [finally landing gently on the top of the majestic Siberian cedar on the first floor.

The average Siberian spruce can grow up to 30 to 35 meters. This tree is more than 40 meters tall, almost the tallest tree in this forest. It is the commanding height that Levin finally found.

Looking down from here, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery under the ridge.

His eyes crossed the treetops and cast their gaze far away to the messy giant camp at the foot of the mountain.

I saw countless huge figures lying on the ground in various postures.

Their sleeping postures are all kinds of weird: some are in a large shape with their limbs stretched out; some are curled up into a ball as if looking for a sense of security; some are clinging to each other to share warmth.

The degree of civilization of these giants can be seen from their sleeping postures.

Those older giants whose skin is covered with traces of time obviously pay more attention to the quality of life than the strong young giants.

They did not lie directly on the ground, but spread thick thatch and animal skins as mats;

Their clothing is also closer to the dress of human civilization, instead of just covering their private parts with simple cloth and exposing their naked bodies to the cold wind like other uncivilized young giants.

The snoring of the giants was terrifyingly loud, reverberating in the valley like thunder.

Just before the sun was about to rise, the "thunder" even triggered a small avalanche.

The fallen snowflakes poured down from the top of the mountain like silver waterfalls, stirring up patches of white waves around the giants, but this did not seem to disturb their speed.
