Chapter 694: Half-blood giants and death eaters
Chapter 694 Hybrid Giant and Death Eater
Even for giants, the neck is their most vulnerable part. Coupled with the fact that Gao Gaoma was in a coma, Kyle's spell passed through almost effortlessly.
Newt sighed silently as he watched this scene.
He wanted to stop Kyle just now. After all, there were only so many giants, and one less one died. He wanted to persuade him again. In addition, Gao Gaoma had the intention of admitting defeat before he fell into coma, so he would probably give up the operation on his own initiative. , turned around and went back.
But it seems useless to say this now.
“This is the safest way.”
Kyle seemed to see what Newt was thinking, shrugged and said, "Hagrid once mentioned that the giant Gogouma is cruel in nature and has a close relationship with the Death Eaters. If he is put back this time, No one can guarantee whether he will cause something else to happen later.
“And after this incident, the mysterious man will probably pay more attention to the giant’s situation, and it will not be so easy to solve it by then.”
“I know,” Newt said.
Of course he knew that Kyle was right... This was indeed the safest way. The reason why he wanted to stop Kyle just now was just out of habit.
After living a peaceful life for too long, and getting older, it is inevitable that you will become more emotional and not as clear-eyed as young people.
“Just do what you want.” Newt patted Kyle on the shoulder.
While the two were talking, the thick fog around them gradually dissipated.
Several giants who were closer soon saw a round thing on the ground...
When they saw clearly what it was, they immediately let out a horrified roar...it was their Gu Ge's head.
There were more and more roars, and the giants who had lost Gu Ge were in chaos.
Especially after seeing the path made of flames on the ground, they felt a panic for no reason, as if they sensed some kind of fatal threat above.
Out of instinct, some giants began to run back, wanting to return to the place they were most familiar with.
After the first giant did this, the second... and the third... appeared.
Soon, the giants began to run back.
“Come back... you idiots.”
“As long as you come together, these people are no match for you. Come back quickly!”
Two wizards wearing black hoods shouted angrily, but their voices did not even make the giant stop for a moment.
"There are actually two Death Eaters..." Newt subconsciously stood in front of Kyle.
“Ah, long time no see, Mr. Scamander.”
One of the Death Eaters turned around and said in a slimy voice: "So, you want to go against the great Dark Lord?"
“It’s always been like this.” Newt said calmly.
"You ruined the Dark Lord's plan..." Another Death Eater raised his wand, "Someone must pay the price for this. If you can't bring back the giant, it's the same as taking away the child."
"We obviously don't see eye to eye." Newt's voice remained calm.
"Do you think you can stop the two of us?" Another Death Eater came over, "The great magizoologist, Newt Scamander... If I can kill you, maybe the Dark Lord can also forgive us. Mistakes."
Kill Newt?
Kyle couldn't help but take a look, wondering who the two Death Eaters who came this time were, and how confident they were...
He estimated that the other party was probably the group of Death Eaters who escaped from prison before... because they spent too long with the dementors, which caused brain problems.
Although most of the news related to Newt is related to magical animals, and he does not have a particularly dazzling record, this does not mean that he is not good at it.
After all, those magical animals were not well-behaved and docile before they were put into the box.
But any normal wizard would not think that Newt is a soft persimmon, so he can be manipulated as he pleases.
However, Newt himself didn't care that he was looked down upon. He just held his wand and looked at the two Death Eaters calmly.
“Mr. Scamander…”
At this time, another larger figure stood in front of the two of them.
Maxim looked at the Death Eaters opposite and said, "We didn't help at all before, so let us do it this time."
"Yes, Olim is right." Hagrid quickly came to the two of them and said, "Just leave it to us."
Maxim used a fog spell no matter what, but Hagrid really didn’t help at all.
Because he couldn't disapparate, he could only run down from the top of the mountain. By the time he arrived, the surrounding area was no longer surrounded by thick fog, and even if he wanted to help, he would not find a chance.
"Okay then..." Seeing the two of them appear, Newt put away his wand. After looking at each other, Maxim and Hagrid quickly assigned their opponents, one to the left and the other to the right. Rushed out.
Newt seemed to trust them and had no intention of helping. He just looked at Kyle and asked with a smile: "How does it feel to fight a giant?"
"It's quite uncomfortable." Kyle said truthfully: "The usual magic spells can't touch them at all, and even the gaze of the basilisk is useless."
"That's right." Newt continued: "Perhaps this time can also remind you that the basilisk's gaze can kill a wizard instantly, but this ability does not work all the time. You cannot rely too much on it. it."
“For example, this time the giant...” Newt glanced at the tall horse lying on the ground.
“But isn’t the basilisk’s gaze aimed at the soul?” Kyle asked doubtfully.
“No, it’s the Death Curse.” Newt shook his head. “The eyes of the basilisk are more like a curse, an artificially added weapon. Do you remember how the basilisk appeared?”
“A seven-year-old rooster laid a magic egg when Sirius was in the sky, and a toad hatched it,” Kyle said.
“That’s right.” Newt nodded, “This is a species created by the despicable Herbo, who gave the basilisk indestructible scales, long life, deadly venom, and a gaze that can kill you if you touch it.
“This is not what a magical animal should look like at all, but more like a collection of weapons, a living weapon.
"As long as it is a weapon, it will be restrained. The giant's huge body and strong vitality greatly weakened the effect of the death curse, so he was only petrified in the end."
“Like pouring a bottle of ink into a black lake?” Kyle thought for a moment and said.
“You can say that.” Newt nodded, “More than that, some creatures are even completely immune to this curse.”
"Phoenix..." Kyle smacked his lips and blurted out.
Every time he thought about this, he couldn't help but envy Dumbledore for being favored by the Phoenix.
"Yes." Newt also had a flash of longing in his eyes, "The phoenix is simply the most perfect life. It is not afraid of curses and evil, and even the fire cannot have the slightest impact on it."
He has come into contact with countless magical animals in the past hundred years, except for the phoenix, which he has only seen a few times from a distance.
Dumbledore is really lucky...
The two of them thought at the same time.
…
After a moment, Newt did not dwell on this anymore, but came to the tall horse and put its head back to its original position.
If anyone here wants to compete for Gu Ge, they can go to the Giant Tribe with the head of a tall horse, which can at least increase the success rate by half.
But the people here seem to need no one.
It goes without saying that he and Kyle are not giants, and they cannot join in the fun.
As for the two mixed-race giants, Hagrid and Maxim... they have a slight possibility. Giants value strength. Even mixed-races can become Gugo as long as they can show absolute strength.
But they may not want to either.
Maxim is the principal of Beauxbatons, one of the three major magic schools in Europe. This status is much better than that of Giant Gogo. She will definitely not go there.
There is also Hagrid, he prefers those magical animals...but in the tribe of giants, the only magical animals that can be seen are food, and he obviously will not go there.
Newt waved his wand, and the tall and huge body disappeared immediately.
"I'm going to put it in a safer place." Looking at Kyle's confused eyes, he explained: "Lest it be found by Death Eaters." Kyle nodded in understanding.
For Voldemort, even the dead giant is not useless, it is better to move it to another place.
But speaking of Death Eaters, Kyle looked curiously towards the open space not far away.
Maxim and Hagrid have been fighting the Death Eaters for a while.
Although they are both hybrid giants, their fighting methods are completely different.
Maxim is more like a real wizard. When waving the wand, the various magics are perfectly connected, easily overwhelming the Death Eaters opposite her, and the winner is expected to be determined soon.
But Hagrid is different, he is completely a miniature version of Gao Gao Pony.
"Come on, you coward!" he shouted, running quickly to the Death Eater under the spell, and slapped him in the face. "Taste this..."
The Death Eater's mask was immediately deformed, and his whole body was blown away like a cannonball.
As for Hagrid...he just had a few holes in his clothes, and the spells bounced away after they were hit on him.
“Avada…”
The Death Eater lying on the ground struggled to raise his wand.
This time Hagrid did not resist, but nimbly hid aside... Just kidding, he would have to be crazy to resist the Death Curse.
After escaping the death curse, Hagrid ran over quickly again, opened his big hand, and slapped the opponent again.
"boom!"
The Death Eater rolled out like a tumbleweed, and Kyle seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.
But Kyle also recognized the identity of the other party, Rodolphus Lestrange, who was really a Death Eater who had escaped from prison before, and his photo was on the previous wanted poster.
“Get up, you despicable, dirty coward!” Hagrid roared and ran towards the opponent again.
Kyle couldn't help but turn his head.
As for Hagrid, it can be considered that he is unlucky.
The other side was much more normal. Maxim shattered the mask with a magic spell, revealing a young face inside.
Barty Crouch Jr. is an old acquaintance. It seems that Voldemort really attaches great importance to giants and actually sent all his most trusted subordinates here.
Kyle is going to help Maxim and leave Crouch here.
Although he is a little tired now and it is difficult to help, it does not mean that he has no other options.
Kyle opened the box, and a shadow jumped out, almost in the blink of an eye, it came to Barty Crouch Jr., biting the hand holding the wand.
Originally, Cat Leopard wanted to bite the neck, but Barty Crouch Jr. seemed to be aware of the danger and lowered his head to avoid it. Cat Leopard could only pounce on the opponent and bite the opponent's arm.
But this way, the death curse he was about to complete was interrupted.
At the same time, Maxim's curse also exploded in his chest.
Barty Crouch Jr. screamed and spit out a mouthful of blood.
“Damn it.” Looking at the cat and leopard that was so close, Barty Crouch Jr. had a fierce look in his eyes and turned around suddenly.
Maxim's second blasting spell landed on his bitten arm.
His arm was blown off, but at the same time, Barty Crouch Jr. was free again.
Without any hesitation, he turned into a black mist and flew out of the valley in the blink of an eye.
This is a kind of curse commonly used by Death Eaters. It was probably invented by Voldemort. It is very fast and is very useful whether it is escaping or chasing.
It's too late to chase now.
“He is a ruthless person…”
Kyle looked at the severed hand and wand that were left behind and said softly.
The other Death Eater, Rodolphus Lestrange, was not so lucky. After seeing Barty Jr. running away, he actually wanted to run back.
But how could the people who were on guard give him this chance? Almost the moment he turned into black mist, three magic spells flew over from different directions and knocked him out.
Then Hagrid arrived, raised two thick arms, and beat him hard. Lestrange didn't even scream, and fainted on the spot.
"Isn't he dead?" Kyle asked in a low voice, looking at the motionless Lestrange.
"Yes, probably, no...I didn't use much strength." Hagrid said a little guilty, but soon his face became stern and he said forcefully: "He is a Death Eater, and he wants to take the giant to the battlefield, even if You deserve to die."
"That's right." Maxim came over and said seriously: "If the giants also participate in the next war, more wizards will die."
“I didn’t say anything else.” Kyle shrugged.
"It's best to be alive. We need to know more information about the mysterious man. He seems to know a lot." Newt came to Lestrange and knelt down next to him to check his situation.
Although Newt is a magical zoologist, he also knows a thing or two about healing magic. After all, those magical animals can also get sick.
After a moment he stood up again.
“Forget it, let Dumbledore find another way to get information.”
Everyone present immediately understood what he meant, and immediately started working tacitly...cleaning the battlefield, cleaning up the remaining traces of magic and the unextinguished flames on the ground.
Hagrid seemed to have something on his mind and was distracted.
“Don’t think so much.” Kyle walked over and patted his arm. "As you just said, he is a Death Eater, you don't need to care..."
"What?" Hagrid turned his head, "No, Kyle, you misunderstood. Don't forget that I participated in the war more than ten years ago and killed many Death Eaters. This is nothing."
“Then why were you absent-minded just now?” Kyle asked doubtfully.
“I was thinking, is it too late for me to learn magic now?”
He glanced secretly in Maxim's direction and whispered: "You noticed just now, she was so elegant when fighting."
When he said this, Hagrid’s eyes almost turned into heart shapes.
But soon he said with a bit of loneliness: "But I can't even apparate, so it will definitely be a hindrance in the future."
There is no way around this. Hagrid was expelled when he was in third grade. In addition, he didn't like reading, so he only learned some basic magic.
Just relying on the strong body of the hybrid giant, he has never cared about this.
"Um... it should be in time." Seeing Hagrid looking like he was falling in love, Kyle wanted to turn around and leave, but he still resisted the sour smell and didn't move.
"If you need it, I can lend you my book. It contains the notes I took during class, which should be helpful for you to learn magic."
"That's great." Hagrid said, and then he thought of something, "What about Apparition...can I learn it?"
Keir’s mouth moved.
For hybrid giants, it is not unusually difficult for them to learn to apparate. Kyle is not surprised that Maxim can do this.
After all, she is the principal of Beauxbatons, and there is definitely nothing to say about her strength or talent.
But Hagrid...to be honest, Kyle really couldn't guarantee whether he could learn it.
“Just give it a try,” he said with a smile. “Magic means everything is possible.”
