Chapter 694: Half-Giant and Death Eaters



Newt looked at this scene and sighed silently.

He wanted to stop Kyle just now. After all, there were only so many giants. If one died, there would be one less. He wanted to persuade him again. In addition, Gao Gao Ma also showed his intention to admit defeat before he fell into a coma, so he would most likely give up this action and turn 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 Tall Horse is cruel by nature and has close ties with the Death Eaters. If we let him go this time, no one can guarantee that he won't cause any other problems later.

"And after this incident, the mysterious man will probably pay more attention to the situation of the giants. It won't be so easy to solve it then."

“I know,” Newt said.

Of course he knew that Kyle was right... This was indeed the safest way. The reason 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 we will become more emotional and not as clear-sighted as young people.

"Do what you want." Newt patted Kyle's shoulder.

As the two were talking, the thick fog around them gradually dissipated.

Several giants who were relatively close soon saw a round object on the ground...

When they saw clearly what it was, they immediately let out a terrified roar...it was the head of their Gugo.

The roars became louder and louder, and the giants who had lost Gugo were in chaos.

Especially after seeing the path of flames on the ground, they felt a sense of panic for no reason, as if they sensed some deadly threat from it.

Instinctively, 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 one appeared... the third one...

Soon, the giants began to run back.

"Come back...you idiots."

"As long as you all come together, these guys are no match for us. Come back quickly!"

The two black-hooded wizards shouted angrily, but their voices did not even make the giant pause for a moment.

“There are two Death Eaters…” Newt subconsciously stood in front of Kyle.

"Ah, long time no see, Mr. Scamander."

A Death Eater 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 have 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, taking away the child will be the same."

“We clearly don’t see eye to eye,” Newt said in a calm voice.

"Do you think you can stop the two of us?" Another Death Eater came over, "The great Magizoologist, Newt Scamander... If we can kill you, perhaps the Dark Lord can forgive our mistake this time."

Kill Newt? Kyle couldn't help but look over. He really wanted to know who the two Death Eaters who came this time were. They were so confident...

He guessed that the other party was probably the Death Eaters who escaped from prison before... Because they had been with the Dementors for too long, their brains had problems.

Although most of the news related to Newt is related to Fantastic Beasts and he himself does not have any particularly brilliant achievements, it does not mean that he is bad.

After all, those magical animals were not well-behaved and docile before they were put into the boxes.

Any normal wizard would not think that Newt is a soft persimmon that can be bullied at will.

However, Newt himself did not care about being underestimated. He just held his wand and looked at the two Death Eaters calmly.

"Mr. Scamander..."

At this time, another larger figure blocked the two of them.

Maxim looked at the Death Eaters across from him and said, "We couldn't help before, so let us do it this time."

"Yeah, Olim is right." Hagrid quickly came over to the two of them and said, "Leave it to us."

Maxime did, after all, cast a Misting Charm, but Hagrid really wasn't of any help at all.

Because he couldn't Apparate, he could only run down from the top of the mountain. By the time he arrived, the thick fog was no longer there, so even if he wanted to help, he couldn't find a chance.

"Okay then..." Seeing the two people appear, Newt put away his wand, and Maxim and Hagrid, after exchanging glances, quickly assigned their opponents and rushed out one on the left and one on the right.

Newt seemed to trust them very much and had no intention of helping them. He just looked at Kyle and asked with a smile: "How does it feel to fight the giants?"

"It's very uncomfortable." Kyle said truthfully: "The usual spells can't hurt them at all, even the basilisk's gaze is useless."

"That's right." Newt continued, "Perhaps this can also serve as a reminder to you that the basilisk's gaze can kill a wizard instantly, but this ability doesn't always work. You can't rely on it too much."

"For example, this time the giant..." Newt glanced at the tall horse lying on the ground.

“But isn’t the basilisk’s gaze directed at the soul?” Kyle asked doubtfully.

"No, it's the Killing Curse." Newt shook his head. "The basilisk's eyes are more like a curse, a weapon added by humans. Do you remember how the basilisk appeared?"

"A seven-year-old rooster laid a magic egg when Sirius was in the sky, and it was hatched by a toad," said Kyle.

"Yes." Newt nodded, "This is a species created by the despicable Herpo, who gave the basilisk indestructible scales, a long life, deadly venom, and a gaze that kills anyone who touches it.

"This doesn't look like a magical creature at all, but more like a collection of weapons, a living weapon.

"As long as it's a weapon, it will be restrained. The giant's huge body and vigorous vitality greatly weakened the effect of the instant death curse, so he was only petrified in the end."

"It's like pouring a bottle of ink into the Black Lake?" Kyle said after thinking for a while.

“You could say that.” Newt nodded. “Not only that, some creatures are even completely immune to this curse.”

"Phoenix..." Kyle smacked his lips and blurted out.

Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but envy Dumbledore for being favored by the Phoenix.

"Yes." Newt's eyes also flashed with longing, "The phoenix is ​​simply the most perfect life. It is not afraid of curses and evil. Even the fierce fire cannot have any effect on it."

In the past hundred years, he had come into contact with countless magical animals, but the phoenix was the only one he had only seen from a distance a few times.

Dumbledore is really lucky...

They both thought of it at the same time.

After a moment, Newt didn't dwell on it anymore, but came to the tall horse and put its head back in its place.

If anyone here wants to compete for Gugo, they can just take the tall horse's head to the giant tribe, which can at least increase the success rate by half.

But the people here don't seem to need anyone.

Needless to say, he and Kyle are not giants, so they can't join in the fun.

As for the two half-blood giants, Hagrid and Maxim… they do have a little possibility. Giants value strength. Even if they are half-blood, as long as they can show absolute power, they can become Gogo.

But they may not want to.

Maxime is the headmaster of Beauxbatons, one of the three major magic schools in Europe. This identity is much better than that of the giant Googly. She will definitely not go there.

And Hagrid, he likes those magical animals more...but in the giant's tribe, the only magical animals you can see are food, so he obviously won't go there.

Newt waved his wand, and the huge body of the tall horse disappeared immediately.

"I'm going to put it in a safer place." Seeing Kyle's puzzled look, he explained, "To prevent it from being found by the Death Eaters."

To Voldemort, even a dead giant is not useless, it is better to move it to another place.

But speaking of Death Eaters, Kyle looked curiously at the open space not far away.

Maxim and Hagrid had been fighting the Death Eaters for a while.

Although both are hybrid giants, their fighting styles are completely different.

Maxime was more like a real wizard. With the wave of her wand, various magics were connected perfectly, easily overwhelming the Death Eaters opposite her. It was estimated that the winner would be decided soon.

But Hagrid is different, he is just a smaller version of Tall Horse.

"Come on, coward!" he yelled, and under the spell, he quickly ran to the Death Eater and slapped him. "Taste this..."

The Death Eater's mask was deformed and he was blown away like a cannonball.

And Hagrid... he just had a few holes in his clothes, and all the spells that hit him bounced off.

"Avada..."

The Death Eater lying on the ground raised his wand with difficulty.

This time Hagrid did not take it head-on, but instead dodged to the side flexibly... Just kidding, he would have to be crazy to take the Killing Curse head-on.

After dodging the Killing Curse this time, Hagrid ran over again, opened his big hand, and slapped the other person again.

"Bang!"

The Death Eater rolled out like a tumbleweed, and Kyle seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking vaguely.

But Kyle also recognized the other person's identity, Rodolphus Lestrange, who was indeed the Death Eater who had escaped from prison before. His photo was on the previous wanted poster.

"Get up, you low, filthy coward!" Hagrid roared, running towards him again.

Kyle couldn't help but turn his head away.

It was bad luck for him to be in trouble with Hagrid.

The other side was much more normal. Maxim used a spell to break the mask, revealing a young face inside.

Barty Crouch Jr. is an old acquaintance. It seems that Voldemort really values ​​the giants and even sent 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 for him to help, it does not mean that he has no other ways.

Kyle opened the box and a shadow rushed out. It arrived at Barty Crouch Jr. in almost the blink of an eye and bit the other's hand holding the wand.

Originally, the leopard wanted to bite the neck, but Barty Crouch Jr. seemed to sense the danger and ducked his head to avoid it. The leopard could only pounce on it and bite the opponent's arm.

However, this interrupted the killing curse that he was about to complete.

At the same time, Maxim's spell exploded in his chest.

Barty Crouch Jr. screamed and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it." Looking at the leopard so close to him, Barty Crouch Jr.'s eyes flashed with ferocity and he turned around suddenly.

Maxim's second blasting curse 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 ball of black mist and flew out of the valley in the blink of an eye.

This is a spell commonly used by Death Eaters, and it should have been invented by Voldemort. It is very fast and very useful whether for escaping or chasing.

It's too late to chase after him now.

"He's a ruthless person..."

Kyle said softly as he looked at the severed hand and wand that were left behind.

Another Death Eater, Rodolphus Lestrange, was not so lucky. After seeing Barty Jr. running away, he actually wanted to run away too.

But how could the people who were on guard give him this opportunity? Almost at the moment he turned into black mist, three spells flew over from different directions and knocked him out.

Then Hagrid arrived, swung his two strong arms and beat him hard. Lestrange fainted on the spot without even a scream.

"Is he dead..." Kyle asked in a low voice, looking at the motionless Lestrange.

"Should, should, no... I didn't use much strength." Hagrid said a little guilty, but soon his face turned serious and he said firmly: "He is a Death Eater and he wanted to bring a giant to the battlefield. He deserves to die."

"That's right." Maxim came over and said seriously, "If giants also participate in the upcoming war, more wizards will die."

"I didn't say anything else." Kyle shrugged.

"It would be best if he's still alive. We need to know more about the You-Know-Who. He seems to know a lot." Newt squatted down beside Lestrange and checked on him.

Although Newt is a magizoologist, he also knows a thing or two about healing magic. After all, magical animals can get sick too.

After a moment he stood up again.

"Forget it, let Dumbledore find another way to get the intelligence."

Everyone present immediately understood what he meant, and immediately got busy tacitly... cleaning up the battlefield, clearing away any remaining traces of magic, and the unextinguished flames on the ground.

Hagrid looked as if he was worried about something and was absent-minded.

"Don't think too much." Kyle walked over and patted his arm. "Like you said just now, he is a Death Eater, you don't have 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 I killed many Death Eaters. It's nothing."

"Then why were you so absent-minded just now?" Kyle asked puzzledly.

"I was wondering, is it too late for me to learn magic now?"

He glanced in Maxim's direction and whispered, "You noticed just now, too, she is so graceful when she fights."

As Hagrid said this, his eyes almost turned into heart shapes.

But soon he said with a bit of loneliness: "But I can't even Apparate, I will definitely be a hindrance in the future."

There was nothing that could be done about it. Hagrid was expelled in the third grade, and he didn't like reading, so he only learned some basic magic.

But because of the strong body of the hybrid giant, he never cared about this.

"Um...it should be in time." Seeing Hagrid falling in love, Kyle wanted to turn around and leave, but he still endured the sour smell and did not move.

"If you need, I can lend you my book. It contains the notes I took during class. It should be helpful for you to learn magic."

"That's great," said Hagrid, and then something occurred to him. "What about Apparition... can I learn it?"

Kyle's mouth twitched.

For the half-giants, it is extremely difficult for them to learn to Apparate. Kyle was not surprised that Maxim could do it.

After all, she is the headmaster of Beauxbatons, so her strength and talent are definitely beyond reproach.

But Hagrid...to be honest, Kyle couldn't guarantee whether he could learn it.

"Give it a try." He smiled and said, "Magic means everything is possible."
