Chapter 500 Giant Castle
Sitting on the head of the fire dragon, Rove narrowed his eyes, looking at the old man who suddenly appeared
He was thin, with a wrinkled old face like bark, and a pair of bright gray eyes with gray eyebrows hanging over them.
In an instant, not only him, but even Shirley recognized the identity of the old man.
Corvinus Gunter!
Newt and Gaunt seemed to be old friends. After seeing him, they put down their hostility and let Longhorn land back to the ground.
Newt slid down from the dragon's back, opened the box again, and let the fire dragon get in. Then he looked at Gaunt leisurely, frowned and said:
"Corvinus, why are you here?"
"Looking for the lost city of giants." Gaunt didn't hide his purpose at all, and said frankly:
"You know, I'm interested in the ancient kingdom of wizards, just like you like those magical creatures.
And there may be some remains of ancient wizards in Giant City, so I'll take a look. Of course, this is also my role in the Department of Mysteries. "
"Where are these ghosts?"
"This is the Upper Barnton giant tribe. Although it has been abandoned long ago, there are a lot of giant remains buried underground." Gunter explained calmly:
"They are all good laborers, so I made them into ghost corpses to help me excavate the giant city."
Seeing that Newt's face was not very good-looking, Gunter deliberately glanced at the broken box in his hand, and said with a half-smile:
"What? Newt, you don't want to go to the Ministry of Magic to report me for using black magic to make infernal corpses, do you? We've been friends for many years, don't we?"
Newt didn't speak, but Rove and Shirley secretly exchanged a look.
Of course it is impossible to report, after all, everyone's eldest brother is equally unclean, not to mention the second brother.
Seeing that several people were silent, Gunter suddenly smiled and said:
"It seems that I disturbed the Fertile Land by digging, otherwise you wouldn't have come here. This place is indeed very close to there. I didn't think carefully... sorry."
The old man snapped his fingers, and the vibration and loud noise suddenly disappeared, as if the originally turbulent water calmed down instantly.
Rove squinted his eyes and stared at Corvinus Gunter. The old man seemed to sense it, and suddenly turned to look at the young man, showing a kind smile and saying:
"Son, how did you think about the deal we talked about last time?"
Last summer, Rove went to the Department of Mysteries and applied to see the information on dementors left by Extis.
But Gaunt, who is the director of the Department of Mysteries, directly rejected it.
However, he did not completely reject it, but instead proposed a plan to let Rove exchange the basilisk in the secret room.
Of course, this transaction is impossible, after all, the basilisk was identified as Slytherin's Horcrux after Grindelwald's identification.
And Slytherin is the murderer who killed Ravenclaw, of course it is impossible to give Gaunt again!
In fact, Rove didn't even take the basilisk away, but let it stay in Nurmengard.
"Rove, Extis has studied dementors for hundreds of years, leaving a huge amount of information, which also records his whereabouts." Gunter continued to persuade:
"Also... your grandfather has always wanted to read the notes left by Extis. If you exchange with me, it will not be a loss-making business anyway."
Rove didn't directly refuse, but just smiled perfunctorily:
"I also hate that basilisk. I learned a lot of magic from it. Let me think about it again, Mr. Gunter?"
"Of course." Gaunt smiled and reminded: "But hurry up, after a while, I may not be interested in that basilisk."
"Corvinus, since you are looking for the city of giants." Newt said suddenly: "We will not disturb your work, we will go back first."
"Hey, Newt... you're here, what are you doing in such a hurry to go back?" Gunter warmly invited with a kind face on his face:
"Although the Giant City has not been completely excavated, there has been a lot of progress, how about I take you to visit it?
This is a lost civilization of giants, not much worse than wizards, goblins and centaurs. "
Seeing Newt's vigilance, Gunter sighed in a very hurt tone:
"Newt, we are old friends who have known each other for many years. I saved you when you were almost swallowed by a scarab in the Temple of Amun at the ruins of Danroi in Sudan.
The little girl who walked with you is a silent person, and it was I who taught you how to strip the silent from her body. "
The old man said sadly:
"Newt, I won't harm you, and we are not enemies anyway, just like back then...right?"
Listening to Gaunt's tone, it seems that Newt is not familiar with him, but Rove didn't speak, just looked at Newt silently.
He is just a junior, so it is natural to listen to Newt's decision at this time.
Newt was silent for a moment, then looked at Gunter, nodded and said, "Let's go."
Gunter immediately returned to smiling, he raised his arm slightly, blinked and said: "Pull my sleeve, I will take you in."
The three of them grabbed Gunter's long sleeves, and the old man shook his sleeves gracefully. When he opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in a strange place.
Rove looked around and found himself in a wide tunnel.
The tunnel was dug directly in the mountain. It is more than ten meters high. The ground and both sides are smooth and smooth. It extends straight forward along a gentle and constant slope.
Under the leadership of Gunter, they walked to the end of the tunnel, and saw a stone door more than twenty meters high, which was hung on the hinges, half-opened, and light came through the door.
Several people did not look into the house, but their eyes were attracted by the huge door, because there was a mural carved on it, and there were also runes engraved on it, but it was very blurred and could no longer be read.
Rove stared at the painting carefully and saw a figure sprawled naked on the ground.
Four villains were lying on him, one of them was beating his crotch with a wooden stick, a four-legged figure was looking at the burning grass, and he didn't know what he was looking at, and a villain with evil eyebrows and eyes was looking at him. Snap his jeweled eyes.
The slightly bigger villain held a weapon in his hand and was cutting off the man's head, most of which had already been cut off.
"This door has a history of seven or eight thousand years. It describes the story of human creatures such as wizards, centaurs, goblins and giants who defeated a powerful enemy." Gunter introduced:
"The weapon that cut the head was designed by the centaur, the goblin provided the forging process, the giant hammered it, and the wizard engraved the rune... It was finally successfully forged.
Finally, the giant, armed in hand, divided that enemy into five parts. "
"The giant passed the story down from generation to generation orally and even made a mural."
Gunter looked at Newt and asked with a smile:
"Newt, your Scamander family has lived in the Fertile Land not far from Giant City for generations. Have you... heard this story?"
