In Elwyn's memory, Hagrid could subdue any dangerous magical creature, and he could even fight a fire dragon.
However, he was so easily knocked away by Glop, and this was the weakest of them all. One could imagine the gap between the two of them.
As Mrs. Maxim screamed, Hagrid climbed up from the ground. His nose and the corner of his mouth were bleeding.
Herbert stopped Glop, and Fridwafa scolded him. The giant stood there uneasily, making incomprehensible noises.
"Alright, don't blame him. I'm fine." Hagrid said as he covered his bleeding nose. "I think little Glop was just too excited to see me and couldn't control himself. After all, I'm his brother."
He opened his arms and walked over to hug Glop, even though he could only reach his waist.
If it was Elwyn, he would have walked over and hugged Glop's leg!
The rest of the lunch made Elwyn's heart skip a beat.
Fridwafa introduced Elwyn and the other three to Glop, but the giant was so stupid that he only remembered Hagrid's name at the end.
He held a roasted lamb in one hand and grabbed the top of a pine tree not far away with the other hand, pulling it towards him. Obviously, he just wanted to see how far the pine tree could bounce when he let go. The next second, the giant let go of the tree. It swayed menacingly, and the pine needles fell like a downpour.
He looked at Elwyn, Sirius, Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim, who were covered in leaves, and burst into laughter.
Fridwafa scolded him again, and Glop became a little more restrained. He looked like he was afraid of his mother.
However, after a while, he seemed to have lost interest and started to pull the pine tree towards him again.
This was a giant, a real giant. Giants like Herbert and Fridwafa who could communicate with humans were just an anomaly.
After lunch, Elwyn, Sirius and Mrs. Maxim left and returned to the camp. Hagrid decided to stay with his mother and brother.
After hearing what Herbert said, he seemed to have decided to try to communicate with Glop further.
Hagrid probably thought that this was his responsibility. This was his family …
"I can understand. Those two giants are very important to Uncle Lu." On the way back, Mrs. Maxim said with a sigh, "But the young giant looks so irascible that I think the wisest thing to do is to keep my distance."
"I hope Hagrid can understand this!" Elwyn added, "But in front of Gloop, he is just a stupid brother!"
That afternoon, he saw two new male giants fighting in the same place for the whole afternoon.
He already understood that this was a special communication method of the giants. This made him worry about Hagrid, who had yet to return.
In fact, Hagrid didn't return until the next morning. He looked like a completely different person.
His hair was tangled and clotted with blood, his left eye was swollen into a slit, blue and purple, his face and hands were covered with cuts, some of which were still bleeding.
He was very careful with his movements. Elwyn suspected that his ribs might have been broken!
It was obvious that this was the result of Hagrid and Glop's communication for the whole night.
In the world of giants, they were used to using their bodies to communicate, to improve their relationship in the most primitive of fights.
"Hagrid, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine. Glop already remembers me. I had a good time with him!" Hagrid said as he washed his face in the sink to wash away the blood. "When he's not angry, he's actually a good boy. We just need to be patient …"
"My mother told me that no giant wants to be with Glop. He's too lonely. I want to try to teach him some English." Hagrid continued as he shook his wet head. "I think if he can talk to others, he will understand that we all like him and become more cheerful."
Elwyn, Sirius and Mrs. Maxim did not speak, they just looked at him blankly.
"Alright, this is my problem. I'll take care of it." Hagrid said. "What are we going to give Cacus today? I think we can tell him why we're here."
"Give him the replica of the Crown of Destiny. I think he'll like it." Sirius said as he started to prepare the gift.
Twenty minutes later, they saw the old giant Herbert at the foot of the mountain. He brought bad news.
Gao Gaoma had returned all their gifts and did not plan to communicate with them. No one knew why.
"This is unusual. Although giants hate human wizards, they usually accept gifts," Herbert said. Said Herbert. "Perhaps he feels that your present is not valuable enough, and that it is an insult to him."
The possibility of this was very low. These gifts were carefully chosen by Dumbledore according to the giants' preferences.
Gao Gaoma did not accept their gifts, which meant that there was no possibility of communication between them.
From Elwyn's perspective, it might be because he had already reached an agreement with other wizards, such as the Death Eaters.
Now, they could only put all their chips on Cacus and hope that he would agree to their request.
When they met the giant Guge again, he received them in a huge cave at the top of the mountain. He was much more formal than the last time.
He was dressed neatly and sat on a huge throne in the hall of the cave. The female giant was not beside him.
The cave was also surprising. Elwyn thought that it would be very primitive, but it was not.
The cave was very high. Even the tallest of giants looked tiny in it. Rows of ancient and mysterious stone pillars lined up on both sides of the hall, extending all the way forward. At the front of the hall, behind the throne of the giant Guge, there was a statue, a statue that would shock anyone who saw it.
It was a one-eyed giant. Its skin was crimson, and the key parts of its body were protected by armor.
The single eye on the top of its head was a huge yellow gem, emitting a mysterious power.
The giant raised one of its hands high, as if it was controlling lightning. At its feet was the corpse of a black dragon.
Next to the dragon was a pile of petrified bones. Those were real dragon bones.
Unlike the fire dragons in the magic world, its body was much larger. Just looking at the bones was enough to shock people.
But what shocked Elwyn the most was not this. There was a deep crack on the statue of the one-eyed giant.
The crack went from top to bottom, splitting the statue in half. It destroyed its powerful aura and made people have no urge to surrender.
Elvin looked up, his eyes moving upward, and then he saw something stuck deep in the eye of the Cyclops.
