Chapter 735 Crazy Giant
Hagrid nodded and said sadly, "The giants are so crazy, they always want to kill each other and attack others."
Hagrid took a gulp of tea and calmed himself down.
"We didn't want to walk past it at night, it was likely to cause conflict, and we waited until morning to be safe."
Hagrid said slowly, "They fell asleep on the spot around three in the morning. We didn't dare to fall asleep, for fear that a giant would wake up and climb up and stay up all night waiting. Their snoring was terrifying. It even caused a An avalanche."
"After dawn, the giants woke up, and we went down."
"That's it?" Ron asked curiously. "You went straight into the giant's camp?"
"Dumbledore told us what to do," Hagrid said calmly, "a gift to Gugo, the leader of the giants, as a tribute."
"How do you know which is Goog?" Ron asked.
Hagrid laughed, "It's easy to tell the difference. Giants talk with their fists and sticks. Goog is the biggest, ugliest, laziest, sitting there waiting for someone to give him something to eat, dead sheep or something. Now Goog Kacus. I reckon he's twenty-two or three feet tall, and the weight of two bull elephants. Skin like a rhinoceros."
"You just walked right up?" Hermione asked nervously.
"Well, go down, and he's lying in the valley. They're in a depression between four mountains, near a mountain lake. Kacus is lying by the lake, roaring for him and his wife to be fed. Orim went down the hill."
"But didn't they want to kill you?" Ron asked in disbelief.
"Someone must think so,"
Hagrid shrugged. "But we held the gift high, as Dumbledore said, and looked at Gugo, ignoring the others. And just like that, the others quieted down and watched us go by. , we went all the way to Kacus's feet, bowed, and put the gift in front of him."
"What gift for the giant?" Ron asked with interest. "Anything to eat?"
"No, he can get food himself," said Hagrid. "We gave him magic. Giants like magic and dangerous magic as long as it's not used against them. Anyway, we gave him the first day. A Gublai fire."
Both Harry and Ron frowned.
"first day?"
"Yes, giants are not easy to contact. We put down the Gublai immortal fire and express our goodwill before leaving. I said: Albus Dumbledore sent a message, when the messenger brings gifts tomorrow, please ask Gu Ge Talk to him."
"Why didn't you talk to them that day?" Hermione asked curiously. "
Hagrid explained, "The giants are difficult to contact. Most of them don't understand human languages. We need to give them some time to put their guard down. Even if Kacus talks to us, other giants need to translate."
"Dumbledore wants us to take our time and let the giants see that we keep our word. Bring another present tomorrow, and if you do, it will give them a good impression. And let them sometimes ask to examine the first gift, and find that It's good stuff, want more."
"Anyway, you can't talk too much, talk too much at once, they can't turn their heads, they'll kill you. It has to be easy. So we bowed back and found a comfortable little cave for the night. When I went back the next morning, I saw Kacus waiting for us."
George shook his head secretly, the giants lacked wisdom, and they couldn't remember these routines at all.
Giants are mostly emotionally controlled and don't have much brains. Instead of using the troublesome routines, it is better to beat them directly. For the beast, only the pressure of death will always be remembered.
The creatures of nature always succumb to the more powerful creatures.
Dumbledore's way of dealing with intelligent creatures to deal with beast-like giants is really the wrong way.
Hagrid continued, "We gave him a nice helmet the next day.
Made by goblins, indestructible, and sat down to talk. "
"Cacus has a good impression of Dumbledore. He has heard of Dumbledore and knows that he is against killing the last giants of England. Cacus is very interested in Dumbledore's words."
"It looks like things are going well," Harry said reassuringly.
"When we left, we were full of hope and promised to bring another gift the next day." Hagrid said sadly, "But something bad happened that night."
"What happened?" Harry demanded.
"I said, giants are not suitable for living together, not for such a large group."
Hagrid said sadly, "They couldn't control themselves, and they would beat each other to the death every few weeks. Men beat men, women beat women. The remnants of the old tribes were fighting, not counting. Fights for food, fire and sleeping places."
"Seeing that their entire race is going extinct, you think they're going to stop killing each other, but they don't think so..."
As George guessed, the giants simply do not act according to normal logic, and the giants' actions never consider the consequences.
The giants are too tall and have no natural enemies, so there is no existence enough to overwhelm them. There is no existential crisis, which keeps those giants from developing wisdom.
Dumbledore's approach was wrong from the start.
It is meaningless to please the giants. When these ferocious monsters eat people, even if the other party kneels down and begs for mercy, they will not get their sympathy.
It is too naive to want to communicate with the giant expecting to send a little gift.
Hagrid sighed deeply.
"There was a fight that night, what we saw at the mouth of the cave, in the valley below. It was so loud you couldn't believe it for hours. When the sun came out, the snow was red, and Carcus's His head sank to the bottom of the lake."
"Kacus is dead?" Hermione asked in surprise.
Hagrid said solemnly, "Cacus is dead, and the giant has a new goog called Gogoma."
He let out a long sigh, "I didn't expect that we made friends with Gu Ge and changed people after only two days. We feel that Gao Gao Ma may not be able to talk, but we can only give it a try."
"You go talk to him?" Ron asked in disbelief. "After seeing him chop off the heads of other giants?"
"Of course we went." Hagrid said helplessly, "How can we give up in two days after such a long journey? We went down with the gifts we planned to give to Kacus."
"I didn't know it before I said it. He sat there, wearing the Kacus helmet, squinting at us as we approached. He was very big, one of the tallest out there, with black hair and big black teeth, Wearing bone necklaces, some look like human bones."
