Chapter 327 Low IQ Negotiation Expert
"Dumbledore!"
When Hagrid put down the Gubley fairy fire and said what he meant, the lazy and arrogant giant Gogo's eyes lit up and he repeated the name. update the fastest
Gu Ge didn't understand English, but the name made him remember deeply. Because the territory they are now in was what Dumbledore won for them back then.
For the remaining giants, Dumbledore is an unforgettable person.
The giant Gu Ge looked at Hagrid and Madam Maxim, but he barely noticed Maca who was also standing aside. Immediately afterwards, he yelled something in the somewhat crude-sounding giant language.
Not long after, two older-looking guys walked out of the crowd of giants behind Maca. They walked past Maca's group with heavy steps, and stood around the giant Gu Ge.
"Dumbledore, for Kakusgoo, a gift?" one of the older giants asked in poor English.
Hagrid hastily responded, and then introduced the torch burning with the fairy fire of Gublai to them. And when the two old giants almost understood, they turned their heads and explained to their Gu Ge.
At this time, the giant clansmen behind Maca had already gathered behind him. When they heard the two old giants explain the "eternal fire" clearly, almost the whole tribe became excited.
Even the giant Gogokakus looked very happy. He sat up, grabbed the torch that Hagrid had planted on the ground, and flicked it with his fingers.
The blue-white flame was picked up by his fingers like a ribbon, but in the next moment, it gathered back to the top of the torch again.
So, even though Kacus let out a burst of joyful laughter, the thunderous voice immediately exploded in the ears of Maca and the other three, and even felt a little vibration under their feet.
Because the volume of the laughter was too loud, Maca couldn't help grinning.
Flames have always been the giants' favorite thing. Although they learned how to make fire from the wizards who hired them to participate in the war as early as the Middle Ages, before that, their flames were all given by nature.
The importance of flames is in their hearts, and they are almost regarded as ancestors.
And when they learned to make fire, the flame gradually evolved into a kind of belief and obsession for them. The eternal fire sent by Hagrid is undoubtedly the most sacred gift.
An unquenchable flame, what a beautiful thing! Although this flame does not have the slightest temperature to speak of.
Taking advantage of the gigantic Gugocacus's laughter, Hagrid lost no time in speaking. Of course, he was mainly speaking to the two older giants...
"Albus Dumbledore said that tomorrow, the emissary will bring another gift, please ask Gu Ge to talk to the emissary."
After finishing speaking, Hagrid, Madame Maxime and Maca bowed and planned to retreat first according to the original plan.
There is no way, this is how you have to deal with giants. Giants are very impatient creatures. If they talk too much, they will find it difficult to listen to you and simply kill you.
Regarding this point, it is their nature, even if Dumbledore came in person, it would not change much.
However, the three of them originally thought that the gift offering would go smoothly, but there was an unexpected betrayal.
"wait!"
Before they took a few steps back, following Kakusgugo's words, the old giant behind him stopped them with one word.
When the three of Maca heard the words, they had to pause and stood where they were.
At this moment, Kakusgugo looked at the torch in his hand reluctantly, and then reinserted it on the ground in front of them under the suspicious eyes of Maca and the others.
"Kakusgogo said we had to say no.
"
The old giant who said these words also stared at the torch with a look of reluctance.
"Why?" Hagrid asked in surprise.
This time without Kakus speaking first, the old giant immediately replied: "Other wizards, I gave Gugo more and better gifts...Reject Dumbledore!"
As he spoke, he drew a circle on his chest, indicating that they had received "so many" gifts. But after that, he reluctantly stared at the torch on the ground again.
It did look a little funny, but Hagrid and Madame Maxime couldn't laugh at all.
"Is it Voldemort again?"
Maca immediately thought of the almost inevitable answer.
It is absolutely true to say that giants are single-minded and dead-brained. Maca can be sure that they didn't refuse the gift at their fingertips because of their loyalty to the agreement.
The reason why Kakus refused was probably that the emissary sent by Voldemort clearly mentioned, "Accepting the gift is tantamount to rejecting Dumbledore's gift".
From the point of view of wizards and even Muggles, it is difficult to explain, but in the mind of the giant who can't turn around at all, it can only become this result.
And now, if Kacus did not accept Dumbledore's gift, he could not make any representations. Because in the giant's philosophy, gifts are equivalent to employment.
This simple and crude equation was actually taught by wizards in the Middle Ages after a lot of trouble.
"How to do?"
Hagrid's understanding of giants is relatively deep, especially after Dumbledore's reminder, he understands that the difficulty of communicating with giants is actually far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
When he turned his head and looked at Madam Maxim and Maca, the giants around him seemed a little impatient.
"I don't know what to do... Is this a breakdown of the negotiation? No, it hasn't even started yet!" Madam Maxim frowned, "How about we leave with the fairy fire first?"
Almost at the moment when Maxim was speaking, Hagrid suddenly felt his legs tighten, and then he found that the whole world was turned upside down.
He reluctantly turned his head and finally found out that the reason was that the giant who had been standing beside Kakus from the beginning angrily lifted his legs and hung him upside down.
Even a man as big as Hagrid was as weak as a child next to real giants.
"oh hoo"
The giant roared violently at Hagrid, and then wanted to throw him out. Madame Maxime even drew out her newly bought wand.
At this extremely urgent moment, Maca slapped Madam Maxim's hand, then took a decisive step, and raised the torch stuck on the ground again.
"Maca McLean!"
He had already used the Amplifying Charm for this shout, and the loud and clear voice immediately exploded in every giant's ears.
Of course, the reason why he only reported his name was that he didn't want to say anything specific at all.
After all, Hagrid was in someone's hand now, and he was about to be thrown out. In such an instant, he didn't have time to say anything, and even if he said it, the giant probably wouldn't understand it, right?
Maca did this just to get the giant's attention first.
In fact, he did succeed. When his name rang in the giant's ears, the giant subconsciously stopped moving and looked down at him.
Seeing that his restraining action took effect, Maca said loudly: "Maca McLean, present a gift to Kakusgugo to express my respect."
This sentence was almost exactly the same as the one Hagrid had said before, the only difference was that he replaced Dumbledore's name with his own, that's all.
As far as stealing concepts is concerned, this is undoubtedly a stupid way. But to deal with these "silly big guys" in front of him, this stupid sentence is enough to produce miraculous effects.
"Oh"
When the two old giants beside Kakus heard the words, their eyes lit up immediately, as if they had heard some wise words, they told Kakus Gugo happily.
You don't have to wait for Kakus to speak, or even look at Kakus' expression. When Maca saw the eyes of the two old giants light up, he knew that his "stupid method" had completely succeeded.
If it is said that the young giants are all "stupid", then these two old giants can be said to be relatively not "stupid".
Even a race with low IQ like giants, once they get older and have relatively rich experience, they will actually become a little smarter.
This point came to Maca's mind when he recalled that the two old giants had expressed reluctance more than once when they refused according to Kakus' decision.
Among the giants, Gu Ge's decision must be obeyed, and unless other giants initiate a challenge, they still have to listen to what should be listened to.
Although the two old giants obeyed, they didn't seem to be completely sure of Kakus' decision, which was enough to prove Maca's conjecture.
"Magaraine, good!"
After the giant Gugokakus personally changed Maca's name, he immediately pulled out the torch on the ground again and played with it fondly.
"Maka McLean, tomorrow, bring a gift and talk to Kakusgugo."
Although there were twists and turns that made people roll their eyes, today's goal was finally achieved.
When the giant who was carrying Hagrid threw him away, and looked enviously at the torch with bright eyes, Maca immediately finished what he had to say to the old giant, and then pulled Hai Greg and Madame Maxime retreated out of the valley.
...
"Maka, it's really you! Just fooled those giants!"
The three returned to the back of the ridge, and while rubbing his almost broken waist, Hagrid praised the witty Maca with great excitement.
Even Mrs. Maxim, who has always paid attention to maintaining elegance, couldn't help but add a few words of praise at this time. )!!
