The magnificent statue of the Cyclops exuded a powerful and oppressive aura. Anyone who saw it would have the urge to kneel to the ground.
It was as high and mighty as the God of Destruction, possessing immense power. This power was enough to slaughter dragons and kill anyone who dared to offend it.
But now, this aura was completely destroyed by an ordinary scabbard.
The scabbard was inserted into the eye of the Cyclops. It was carved with exquisite patterns and inlaid with small sparkling rubies.
With this as the center, a huge crack slanted downwards, splitting the Cyclops into two halves …
In Elwyn's previous memories, he had seen Gryffindor sheathing his sword several times.
However, it had not been passed down. It turned out that it had been left here during the battle with the Cyclops.
Looking at the nearly 100-foot-tall statue in front of him that had been split in half, Elwyn could imagine the tragedy of the battle.
Facing the legendary Cyclops, who was said to be as powerful as the gods, Gryffindor was finally left with a scar in his eye by the power of thunder and lost his scabbard. The Cyclops also paid a painful price and disappeared from history.
The broken statue and the scabbard were the proof of the battle, silently proving the past.
Gryffindor's sword was made of fairies and had many magical characteristics. The same was true of the scabbard.
The scabbard and the sword were one. Only when the two were combined would the sword be a complete legendary magic item.
Elwyn looked at the scabbard above his head, thinking about how to get rid of it. He subconsciously followed Hagrid and the others forward.
Cacus was eagerly waiting for them, constantly twisting his body. He was not used to being dressed so formally.
Hagrid held up the replica of the Crown of Fate, the exquisite helmet made by fairies, and offered it to Cacus.
Cacus took it and then sat there listening to Hagrid and Sirius speak, with Herbert translating.
Hagrid and Sirius stated their intentions, as well as Dumbledore's words.
Cacus didn't express too many opinions, but he seemed to be very interested in what Dumbledore had to say. He roared a few times, and Herbert told them that Cacus had heard of Dumbledore's name and knew that he was a great wizard.
Inside the cave, more and more giants gathered, all of them showing expressions of interest …
This was a good sign. The rest of the conversation was quite pleasant, and everyone was full of hope.
When Hagrid promised to bring another gift tomorrow, one that was definitely better than the 'Crown of Fate' in Kakus' hands, Kakus revealed the most brilliant smile on his face.
He said that the four of them were friends of the giants and even invited them to stay for dinner. He was going to introduce them to more giants.
But the situation quickly took a turn for the worse, because a very burly giant walked in from the outside.
He was a full forty feet tall, and was the tallest giant Elwyn had ever seen. He had black hair, big black teeth, and wore a necklace made of bones, some of which looked like human bones. His knuckles were as big as volleyball, and there was a ring engraved with complicated runes.
Elwyn felt a faint magic power from it. It was a black magic item.
It was really surprising, where did this giant get this thing?!
"He's Tallhorse!" Herbert whispered, looking very afraid of this giant.
In fact, since he entered the cave, the atmosphere had obviously stagnated, and even Kakus had shrunk back.
So this was Tallhorse, the most powerful warrior of the giant tribe, who had not long ago rejected the kindness of Elwyn's group.
Elwyn raised his head and looked at the tall giant warrior. He was already as tall as the Cyclops statue's thigh, and his dark brown muscles were full of power. The other giants in front of him were a lot weaker.
This guy must have started working with the Death Eaters by now, and the black magic ring on his hand was proof.
Tallhorse walked to the front of the throne and spoke to Kakus in the giant's language, their voices growing louder and louder.
"Tallhorse does not agree with Guge's rash alliance with you, and agreed to Dumbledore's request. He wants to be more cautious …" Herbert translated their conversation, but he quickly stopped when he heard Tallhorse's angry roar.
The old giant looked frightened, his body trembling slightly, as if Tallhorse had reprimanded him.
Perhaps because of the gifts, Tallhorse thought that Herbert and Elwyn were in cahoots.
He glared fiercely at Herbert, Elwyn, and the others, then turned his head and angrily continued to argue with Kakus.
Gao Gaoma vigorously waved his hands, as if he was ready to pounce on this giant Gu Ge and fight it out.
The surrounding giants were all very afraid, and they slowly backed away.
"Be careful, something's wrong!" Sirius said, also pulling Elwyn a step back.
He put his right hand on the wand at his waist, and Mrs. Maxim did the same in front of him.
"Tallhorse proposed a duel, he wants to test your strength to determine if you are qualified to ally with the giants!" Herbert suddenly said, his tone anxious, "Guge agreed to his proposal, you must be prepared."
"What, a duel?!" Hagrid looked at him in surprise.
"The giants don't believe in wizards, we only admire the strong." The old giant repeated Tallhorse's words, pointing to Elwyn and Sirius, "You two don't have giant blood, so you must prove yourself. Either accept the duel, or get out of here. "
If they left just like that, the negotiations with the giants and the alliance would obviously fail!
Elwyn and Sirius looked at each other and pulled out their wands.
"Since you want to duel, then let's start!" Sirius said, looking up at Tallhorse, "Herbert, tell this big guy that we have no objection, but let him be prepared for failure."
"I have no objection either, I just hope he doesn't regret choosing the wrong opponent!" Elwyn said, the tip of his wand emitting a little light.
This sudden duel immediately began, everyone stepped back to make way for them.
Tallhorse called in a giant warrior from outside, this guy was only a little shorter than him, wearing heavy armor, holding a huge sharp axe in his hand, and looking at Elwyn and Sirius with a fierce look.
A fully armed giant, this made the level of danger several times higher.
Takama also ordered his men to take out his weapon. It was a black iron awl that was stained with blood and dirty liquid.
