Through the family badge that Lucius Malfoy secretly carried on him, Allen determined his location, teleported near him, and walked towards him while invisible.
Lucius, who was sitting at the root of a huge tree, chewed a dry sandwich expressionlessly. From time to time, he would take a sip of brandy from the horn-shaped flask that he carried with him to dispel the chill on his body. The tall and thin Death Eater MacNeil was standing on a boulder and looking down the ridge.
At this moment, a vague voice suddenly sounded in Lucius' mind, "Lucius, I'm Allen Harris. Please relax, don't try to use Brain Seal to resist."
Lucius put down the sandwich in his hand and pretended to have nothing to do. He quickly scanned the surrounding environment, but he didn't find any trace of Allen.
"Don't worry, Lucius, they won't find me. You, on the other hand, have to complete the task given to you by the Lord Voldemort as soon as possible and leave this place. "Allen instructed.
"But MacNeil, who came with me, won't listen to my opinion. He is very aggressive and has proposed to attack Hagrid several times along the way. And this time, only I and the people that I bring back will go back. I'm afraid that the Dark Lord will be suspicious of me. "Lucius said worriedly.
"I told you to just bring the giants back, so you bring them back. If MacNeil wants to attack, let him attack. I'll let him go back with his life. In this way, you will be able to complete the task given to you by the Lord Voldemort to recruit the giants, but MacNeil will want to attack Hagrid, causing the Death Eaters that he brought to suffer heavy casualties and fail to complete the task. This will help you gain the trust of the Lord Voldemort and obtain more information. Please let everyone hear your warning and exhortation to MacNeil in this regard. You have to know that I originally planned to control these giants, but since you informed my father in advance, it also proves your value. So, I think using some of the giants to help you is a price that I'm very willing to pay. I hope you can grasp this opportunity well. Please hurry up. "
Allen's words calmed Malfoy down. Every word that Allen said touched the bottom of his heart. When he betrayed the Lord Voldemort and sent the message to Harris, he was very nervous. He was worried that Harris would burn the bridge after crossing it. After receiving the message, Harris began to act against the giants without regard for his life.
Not missing Malfoy's imperceptible nod, Allen returned to Maggie's side.
Following the house elf's gaze, Alan saw Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim under the tree. Hagrid and Madame Maxim seemed to be in perfect harmony in this huge primeval forest. The elegant lady was not as delicate as Hagrid imagined. She laid on Hagrid's fur coat and rested her head on Hagrid's lap. Hagrid looked tenderly at Madam Maxim's peaceful sleeping face. He gently raised one hand and quietly stroked her hair.
Allen did not disturb the two people. He quietly moved to the vantage point that he had already observed. From that position, he could see the scene below the ridge.
Looking from afar, there were countless huge shadows lying on the ground at the foot of the ridge. They were sleeping in different postures: wildly spread out, curled up into a ball, and snuggled up to each other …
The civilization of the giants could be seen from their sleeping postures. Some of the older giants with wrinkled skin were not like those strong young giants who directly slept on the ground. Instead, they were covered with thick grass and animal skins. Their dressing was also closer to that of the civilized human society. They were not naked like those uncivilized young giants who only covered their private parts.
The snores of the giants were frighteningly loud. They even caused an avalanche before the sun rose.
After dawn, Madam Maxim tidied up her clothes. She tilted her head and did not look at Hagrid. Her face blushed unnaturally. Although it was not suitable for her to show such an expression as she was taller than Hagrid …
After Madam Maxim regained her usual elegant demeanor, she took out a Gubrai Immortal Fire from her pearl-studded foldable bag and gave it to Hagrid.
Hagrid blinked and raised the Gubrai Immortal Fire high. The two of them walked down the mountain.
Allen saw their target at a glance — the leader of the giants, Gugo. In the depression between four mountains, near a mountain lake, Gugo was lying by the lake and roaring for people to feed him and his wife.
Gugo's body was the largest among all the giants. He was about twenty-two feet tall, as heavy as two bulls, and his skin was as rough as a rhinoceros. He was also the ugliest and the laziest, sitting there and waiting for people to feed him things like dead sheep.
Hagrid and Madam Maxim walked down the hill. Hagrid raised the gift high and stared at Gugo, ignoring the others. The other giants, who had been moving, had no choice but to quiet down when they heard that they were going to present a gift to their leader. They could only watch them walk over. They walked to Gugo's feet, bowed, and put the gift in front of him.
Hagrid put the Gubrai Immortal Fire that could burn forever on the snow at Gugo's feet and said, "Abusi Dumbledore's gift to the giant Gugo as a sign of respect."
Gugo called over two old giants. They had been in human society before and could understand English, so they acted as interpreters.
When the two giants told the giants about the Gubrai Immortal Fire's ability to burn continuously and never be extinguished, there was an uproar in the camp. The giants were very happy.
At this time, Hagrid said, "Abusi Dumbledore said that when the emissary brings the gift tomorrow, he invites Gugo to talk to him."
It was not that Hagrid did not want to talk to Gugo that day, but Dumbledore had told him to take it slow and let the giants see that they were trustworthy. If he really brought the gift tomorrow, it would give them a good impression. Moreover, it would give them time to examine the first gift, and if they found it to be something good, they would want more.
Moreover, giants like Gugo — if you said too much at once, they would kill you and be done with it. Therefore, Hagrid and Olim bowed and retreated, finding a comfortable cave to spend the night.
At night, Gugo sent the giants who were in charge of the interpreters to tell them that a welcome banquet was being held for Hagrid and Madam Maxim.
The giants set up barbecue racks and pots on top of the bonfires.
Some relatively short male giants, who didn't seem to have any status in the tribe, cut the wild onions, crushed the wild garlic, peeled the chestnuts, and cut the wild boar into small cubes, throwing them into the big pot set up over the bonfire.
"When they start to emit heat, put elk feces in, and then add horse urine … Don't you feel disgusted?" The old giant who was in charge of the interpreters had a sad look in his eyes. "This is the life of giants who have never experienced human society. The lack of material means that they can only get the so-called 'spices' from these things."
Madam Maxim forcibly controlled the urge to vomit and turned her head away.
Hagrid did not know how to flatter the giants. He just scratched the back of his head with his big hand.
"Later, you can just eat the barbecue meat with only salt on it. Remember to be rude. As long as you eat, the giants will not pay attention to your preferences." The giant kindly gave a suggestion. "Forgive me, I haven't talked with you for so long that I forgot your etiquette. Please call me Leto."
"Thank you, Leto." Hagrid patted Leto's arm.
Like Madam Maxim, he looked around the giants, trying to find his family.
"What are you looking for?" Just as Hagrid and the rest were looking at the giants, Leto was also looking at them.
"Fridvafa, I'm looking for her. She is my mother. Leto, do you know where she is? "Hagrid looked up and asked.
"Let me think," Leto lowered his head and looked like he was in deep thought. Hagrid could not see his expression, but he said, "Ah, I remember, Fridvafa, that poor woman, she has been dead for many years."
Madam Maxim heard this, looked at Hagrid, and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm okay, Olim," Hagrid looked at Madam Maxim with sparkling eyes. "I don't remember her very much. She was not a good mother."
"Sorry, please allow me to leave for a while." Leto bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Allen, who had been using Telepathic Retrieval, found out that Leto was lying. He told Maggie a few words, and Maggie quietly followed.
