Chapter 525? Mansions
After being transfigured by Penello, "Umbrella Company Biological Research Department." Lupine silently looked at the text next to the most conspicuous red and white umbrella icon on the concrete building at the entrance of the valley. He was vigilant. Recently, he has often seen the potion advertisements of this company on TV. The Lily Foundation is also written by this company. Lupine knows that it belongs to the Harris family's property. Is he going to meet Owen Harris? But the Biological Research Department... Maybe it wants to treat myself as a werewolf as a magical creature to study.
After passing through the three gates in the building guarded by many armed wizards, Lupine followed Penello without saying a word and passed through many tall stone pillars. The same guards as those in the building just now are patrolling. They wear the full set of equipment called H94 that Aurors love to use now, but the collar badge that should mark the Auror identity is replaced by the same red and white umbrella-shaped collar badge as the entrance. .
Lupine was a little uneasy and tried to ask where Penello was taking him, but the female student he had taught before just told him coldly: "You will know when you get there."
As soon as Lupine followed Penello into the place called the "Giant Sanctuary", Lupine felt the ground tremble, and the sound of huge footsteps came. Lupine turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly. Wand in hand.
A small group of bald-headed giants, all over twenty feet tall, with pale blue skin and black fur coats, appeared expressionlessly in Lupine's sight from a distance.
Lupine looked shocked, watching the figures of these giants with fit bodies, which were completely different from the fat giants he had seen before, approaching.
"A little flower blooms in the wilderness. Her name is Erica. Thousands of little bees are racing to fly to that Erica..." I tried to live in the Muggle world a lot in my early years Time, Lupine, who wanted to avoid the discrimination of the wizarding world, found that these giants kept their formation like a Muggle army, kicking and marching along the road at a neat pace, and kept singing songs in their expressionless mouths , the lyrics sounded like a rather light-hearted romantic ballad, but Lupine felt a little creepy when combined with the unruffled sound of those thick leather boots on the feet of these strange, expressionless giants.
After the giants approached, Lupine noticed that there was a red gemstone inlaid on the forehead of these giants, and magic runes were carved on the metal leather gloves on their hands.
As the giants walked by, Lupine waved his hands to disperse the smoke and dust splashed by the giants' footsteps. He looked up at Penello in front of him, knowing that the other party would not answer his question with any substance. Sexual content, so I gave up the question that I almost blurted out. But obviously this made Lupine very worried. If he could leave alive, he must inform the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore about the situation here.
After walking for a while, Lupine was slightly relieved when he saw some rest areas on the side of the field. The giants dressed in the same way seemed to get along well with the ordinary staff in white coats. They actually got together Playing poker together, these giants are holding special oversized playing cards, although the size of this poker is a bit too big for ordinary wizards. But the relationship between these giants with blank expressions and those staff members is obviously good. After a game of cards, Lupine saw a giant slap a staff member beside him. This staff member did not dodge. The big slap on him did not cause him any harm, but made him laugh out loud to tell the giant not to play tricks.
It seems that even when joking, this giant still remembers to control its own strength.
The giant's brain, which is not much bigger than a walnut, can learn English, sing and communicate normally, not to mention playing poker? Can their intellect understand these complex rules? They look no different from ordinary people except for their size and strange appearance.
Lupine rubbed his eyes in disbelief,
These giants in front of him are not as lazy, violent and stupid as he said. He patted the dust on his body again. After feeling the vibrations on his body, he felt that this place was a very magical place, but he was even more confused about the reason why he was brought here. They would never want to transform these giants. Transform a werewolf?
Seeing Lupin's expression, Penello thought that all this was created by Allen, with a look of pride on his face, and continued to lead him forward. In the middle of the vast valley stood many huge stone houses, and some young giants, led by the old giants, piled up a huge snowman in the middle of the paved square.
After passing through a forest behind the giant reserve, a building with a different architectural style from the UK appeared in front of Lu Ping. It was a foreign mansion with a Gothic style. Baroque.
When entering the courtyard gate, Lupine found that the entire garden fence and gate were equipped with magical defenses similar to the anti-thief waterfall in the Gringotts underground vault tunnel. When passing through the border, it can remove all magic spells. and magical camouflage. After Penello took Lupine through the cumbersome security check at the entrance with the armed guards, they walked through the garden and finally entered the gate of the mansion where two giant guards stood guard.
Entering the gate, this is a double-storey hall. Facing the gate is the upward staircase covered with wine-red carpets on the second floor. It is divided into two along the wall at half the height and turns to the wooden corridor on the second floor. Windows, colonnades, arches, etc. are all domed arches.
When they went upstairs and came to the door of a room that was obviously a living room, Penello knocked on the door lightly three times.
"Please come in." A man's voice was muffled by the embossed oak door from behind the door.
Penello opened the door for Lupin, but she didn't go in. When Lupine approached the room, he found that the decoration in the room was luxurious. From the ceiling, lighting, walls to daily utensils, everything was crafted by craftsmen. It is decorated with some murals painted by figures in the history of magic in the Middle Ages. Lupine noticed that the "Wizard with a Walrus Beard" on the first floor of Hogwarts is also among them, and he is constantly painting murals. Shaking his exaggerated beard.
A boy with light blond hair wearing a Ravenclaw school uniform sat on a chair behind the desk, and appeared in front of Lupine. After he motioned for Lupin to take a seat, the silver-white teapot and tea bowl on the desk automatically flew to Lupine, serving him Made a bowl of black tea.
"Alan... Mr. Alan Harris, I thought you should be in Durmstrang now." Lupine found that he could no longer call him by his first name as easily as when he was teaching him.
