Elwyn resisted the urge to pull out his wand. The giants revered magic and loved to feel the mysterious power of magic, but they hated it when wizards pointed their wands at them and used magic on them. It would only make things worse.
Until now, he finally understood why Dumbledore had to send people from so far away to rope in these giants.
Imagine, a terrifying enemy as large as a mountain appearing on the battlefield, the shock and dominance it would bring …
If all these giants joined the Lord Voldemort, his dark forces would increase exponentially, and few wizards would be a match for the giants.
In the face of such a giant, most people would not even have the courage to fight.
They had already arrived at the lake, Elwyn looked around and saw that there were more and more giants gathering around them.
He did not know how the other three felt, but his heart was beating very fast.
Although Elwyn had seen many dark creatures, none of them could give people such a direct visual stimulation like the giants.
The giants were undefeatable in ancient times, and in order to defeat the giant beasts, humans had once built high walls to defend against the giants.
Fortunately, the number of giants had become very few, and that dark era was gone forever.
Otherwise, one day, humans would remember the fear of being dominated by them, and the humiliation of being imprisoned in a birdcage.
"We are here to present a gift to Gu Ge, to show our respect!" Hagrid shouted loudly, in English.
Most of the giants did not understand what he was saying, and made some meaningless and rude shouts, but a few giants who wore some clothes clearly understood, and they turned around and ran towards the top of the opposite hill, making a loud rumbling sound …
"They went to inform the leader, we can just wait here," Sirius said softly.
Elwyn took the opportunity to look around. Before they came in, the giants were scattered around the lake in groups.
The giants closest to Elwyn seemed to be cooking food. They had gotten a huge stone pot out of nowhere, as big as the one used by the Lord Voldemort to resurrect, and were cooking meat and some grass-root-like things inside.
This should be a giant family, consisting of a slightly thin female giant and three strong male giants. They also had two children, who looked young at first glance. Of course, these two were already as tall as Elwyn!
They hid behind their parents, curiously looking at the four people who entered the camp, and their eyes finally fell on Elwyn.
Elwyn smiled at them, and the response was indeed a rude roar.
Just then, the giants who had left first ran back, and they hurriedly rushed into the crowd.
"Humans, Gu Ge wants to see you, bring the gift and follow me!" A very old giant said. He was wearing a brown robe that was relatively neat, just like a normal wizard's robe. However, it was obvious that he had worn it for a long time. It was a style from decades ago.
It seemed that this robe was made by an enlargement spell, so no one would tailor it according to the size of the giants.
They followed the old giant to the opposite top of the mountain. The giants around the lake seemed to be afraid of this place, so they did not follow.
The path built next to the cliff went straight up, and they carefully walked on it.
This path was built according to the size of the giants, so it was very wide for Elwyn and the others.
"My name is Herbert!" The old giant said, and his rumbling voice came from above. "I have been to Poland in the past, and I married and had children there. I lived there for a long time, and I like that country. Of course, that was more than 80 years ago. Later, a terrible war broke out, and I escaped back! "
The old giant said as he walked. His pronunciation was not very good, but it was barely understandable.
Then he turned his head and looked at Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim with dim eyes.
"You two seem to have giant blood in you?"
"My mother is Fridwafa," Hagrid said, looking at him with concern. "Is she still alive?"
"You are the son of Fridwafa?!" The old giant seemed a little surprised. He carefully looked at Hagrid and said, "She's still alive, but she's not doing too well. Giants like us who have lived in human society are different. We have a very low status in our tribe. The other giants don't want to believe us. They think we're not trustworthy."
"My mother is still alive. Where is she now?" Hagrid raised his voice, looking a little excited.
"You will see her, the son of Fridwafa! After she came back, she gave birth to two more children. One died, and the other is deformed like you. You are too short! "Herbert said, looking at Mrs. Maxim." What about you? "
"My father died, on the battlefield!" she said simply.
"Yeah, most of the giants end up like this, dying in battle!" Herbert turned his head again. "Too many of us have died in the past, but the living do not want to learn their lesson and continue to fight. Humans, what are you doing here? "
"We have brought gifts and a message from Dumbledore. We hope to become allies with you!" Sirius said.
He patted Hagrid on the back, motioning him to calm down.
They did not expect to meet an old giant who was so easy to communicate with.
The old giant had a clear mind. He did not look like a giant at all, but a slightly taller human being.
"Albus Dumbledore?!" the old giant said. "I have heard the name of this wizard. He once opposed the killing of the last giants in Britain and helped them leave. He is our friend. I think Kakus will be interested in his words."
Elwyn, Sirius, Hagrid, and Mrs. Maxim looked at each other. Would things really go so smoothly?!
"But don't get your hopes up. Giants need war, not peace …" Herbert continued. "Dumbledore's ideas have very few supporters here. Giants like me are already considered a different breed. Very few giants are willing to communicate with humans. Of course, they are very happy that you have brought gifts. "
Then, he stopped talking and led Elwyn and the others to the top of the mountain.
At the top of the cliff was a large platform. At the end of it was a cave, but they could not see it clearly.
When Elwyn and the others climbed up, the platform was already filled with giants. Compared to the giants below, they were taller and bigger. They wore simple clothes made of animal skin, and many of them had weapons in their hands.
In the middle was a huge stone bed. It was very simple, but very spacious. Two giants were lying on it.
One of them was a male giant. He was very big, at least thirty-five feet tall, and very ugly. He looked as heavy as three male elephants. His exposed skin was like that of a rhinoceros. He kept roaring for the giant next to him to feed him, while his hands were busy with other things.
Needless to say, he was the giant Googo Kakus.
