Chapter 195 Different Treatments

"No, I'm not hungry."

Lu Yunkai glanced at the food placed in front of him, his eyelids twitched wildly, but he still shook his head politely.

He followed the old giant with a cane into the forest, and walked for a long time before arriving at the village where the giants lived.

Although it was called a village, there were actually less than a hundred giants living here. And the arrival of Lu Yunkai made the giants seem nervous all of a sudden.

Many younger giants came to Lu Yunkai with their own weapons, some giant javelins more than ten meters long.

That look was really intimidating.

But Lu Yunkai didn't care, he was really not afraid, but looked at the group of giants.

Although it was not like what Krum said, most of the giants were idiots like the one who greeted him at the gate of the woods, but it should be true that their brains were not working well.

At least most of them looked a little silly.

Soon, the old giant also showed the hospitality he just mentioned: he drove away the young giants who were not sure whether they were here to watch the fun or to scare people, and ordered people to prepare food to welcome them.

A whole roasted wild boar...

To be honest, if Lu Yunkai was not worried about being poisoned, he would still like to try the giant's barbecue skills.

"Ask whatever you want to ask."

The old giant sat on a small stool with a whole bear skin as a cushion (for giants, it was really a small stool, but for Lu Yunkai, it was a big recliner), and then returned the wood carving to Lu Yunkai.

It seems that the wood carving is not disposable...

"What's the matter with the symbol on this wood carving?" Lu Yunkai shook the wood carving.

"This is the emblem of our tribe."

"Your tribe..." Lu Yunkai glanced at the giant who just claimed that this was the emblem of another tribe.

"He doesn't want to deal with you wizards." The old giant shook his head.

"How long have you used this emblem?" Lu Yunkai asked.

"Always."

"...Always?"

"From the existence of our tribe to now."

"Did your tribe...originally live here?"

"We have lived here for generations and will not move away again!!" The young giant interrupted angrily.

"...That's not what I meant." Lu Yunkai waved his hand, "Did your giant ancestors live...far away in the south?" Lu Yunkai wanted to say the Sinai Peninsula, but then he thought, these giants should not know what humans call that place, right?

"We have lived here for generations." The old patriarch shook his head.

"For generations?" Lu Yunkai laughed, "But I saw something made by you giants in the south, far away from here."

"That's impossible." The old patriarch shook his head firmly.

"This."

Lu Yunkai took out a piece of wood he had picked up in the stone chamber.

The old patriarch took a look at the thing Lu Yunkai was shaking in his hand and laughed.

"How do you know that such a piece of wood without any special features was made by a giant?"

"Of course I have my own way." Lu Yunkai waved his hand, "I'm not here to drive you away from here, so the question I asked is just the question itself. In the legends of your tribe, is there any record that you migrated here from a faraway place?"

"How long ago was the legend you mentioned?"

"At least a few thousand years ago, almost ten thousand years?" Lu Yunkai thought for a while and said.

"Our tribe was separated from the Gutav tribe more than two thousand years ago." The old patriarch shook his head, "In fact, all the giant tribes now have left the Gutav tribe one after another in the past few thousand years. They may have more information. But they hate wizards more than we do, so I don't recommend you to look for them."

"Patriarch, I remember that in the legend of the Gutav tribe, it seems that they were..."

"Shut up." The old patriarch glared at the young giant who wanted to interrupt.

"...Don't you want to say it? Don't you claim to be willing to help no matter what?" Lu Yunkai frowned.

"It's not that he doesn't want to tell, but what he heard may not be the true story of the Gutav tribe. If it's false, you will come to trouble us later." The old patriarch shook his head.

"Go ahead and tell me, I don't blame you." Lu Yunkai looked at the young giant, "And if you don't tell me this time, I will probably have to come to you next time. You don't find me annoying, but I find you annoying."

"... I remember hearing that the Gutav tribe originally lived far away and was once the god of mankind..."

"Shut up!!" The old patriarch seemed a little anxious.

"I don't mind these stories, tell me." Lu Yunkai laughed.

He finally understood why the old patriarch was like this.

The giant dared to say that he was once the god of wizards... If those wizards who are supreme or even pure-blooded heard this, a killing curse would probably come up.

Using the killing curse on giants, werewolves, and vampires does not fall within the scope of the Ministry of Magic's definition of the Unforgivable Curse. This is what Moody... well, Crouch Jr. said. Therefore, there is no psychological burden.

"...It is the legend of the Gutav tribe. It turns out that giants are gods of humans, but there is a human who has mastered a power beyond giants. He sealed the giants' abilities and drove us here." The young giant continued. , "Their tribe also has legends that it's because of the curse of humans... Well, that's all."

In fact, he originally wanted to say something, but was stopped by the old patriarch's eyes.

"The divine power was sealed by humans and then driven away? Curse?" Lu Yunkai frowned.

This story doesn't sound reliable at all.

It's more of a complaint than a reliable tribal legend.

But when it came to the word curse, Lu Yunkai had to focus his attention.

"These are the affairs of the Gutav tribe and have nothing to do with our Kalan tribe." The old patriarch quickly clarified, "If you have any questions, go to them."

"Oh." Lu Yunkai looked at the old patriarch's appearance and felt a little more convinced. He was so scared, thinking that this legend must be true, "Then what is the curse that humans in their legend put on them?"

"this……"

"The affairs of the Gutav tribe have nothing to do with your Kalan tribe, right? Even if there is any offense against the wizards, we will not find it against your tribe." Lu Yun said with a smile.

"...It is said that it sealed the giant's power to summon wind and thunder." The old patriarch saw it. If he didn't say it himself, it might be more dangerous for the young giant who didn't know the "seriousness", so he could only speak on his own, "And Cursed the bloodline inheritance of the giant."

"Oh?? Please tell me the details!" Lu Yunkai's energy suddenly rose.

This sounds familiar! !

"I really don't know the details. After all, we have left the Gutafu tribe for thousands of years, and those legends have long since disappeared." The old patriarch shook his head.

"Is that so?"

Lu Yunkai's excitement instantly turned into regret, but he still nodded.

"Last question, where did the symbol on the wood carving... which is the emblem of your tribe, come from?" Lu Yunkai had already silently decided on the destination of his next stop, so he asked about gossip.

"It is the mark that our ancestors brought when they left the Gutav tribe. It is the guardian chosen by our ancestors to suppress evil spirits." The old patriarch seemed relieved when he heard that it was the last question and answered more positively, "Yes. One of the nine guard emblems."

"Nine guard emblems??" Lu Yunkai frowned again.

"this……"

"Tell me, it's all about the Gutav tribe and it has nothing to do with you." Lu Yunkai was speechless.

No, this old giant, what happened to you, how can you be so afraid of revenge from the wizard...

Wait a minute, could it be that you were the giant tribe that was sent to deal with Voldemort and then forced to show support?

Hey, that seems right! The Shafiq family seems to be a Death Eater. If the old patriarch was forced to hand over this wooden sculpture, this logic seems to make sense.

But Sherrie said that this wooden sculpture was in Shafiq’s house before it was born... How old is Sherrie? Lu Yunkai really didn't know.

"It's a emblem used to suppress the evil curse marks from... from humans." The old patriarch said tentatively, "There are nine in total. When there are more than nine giant tribes, one tribe will disappear... It is said that it is Because there are only nine emblems, only nine tribes can be protected."

"So, there are still only nine giant tribes in total now?" Lu Yunkai looked around.

In other words, the total number of giants can only support a thousand people?

"Seven." The old patriarch shook his head.

"..."

Then there are only seven or eight hundred people? ? OK! ! Lu Yunkai now fully understands why these big guys who seem to be somewhat immune to magic can be pressed on the head by wizards to accept the International Secrecy Law.

There are only a few people, and the brain is not very good. Facing a group of cunning wizards, there is really no chance of winning!

"If you still have any questions, you can go to the Gutav tribe and ask. From here, walk north for three days, and then walk east for two days, and you should be there." The old patriarch continued, as if sending off the plague god: "But I don't know if they will be willing to answer your questions."

"Yeah. I understand." Lu Yunkai nodded, "Then I'll leave."

"Walk slowly."

The old patriarch seemed to let out a long sigh of relief, and then gave the young giant next to him a look.

The young giant quickly prepared to see off the guests.

…

After leaving the woods, Lu Yunkai took out the map Krum gave him and checked the locations of the four giant tribes. There was only one north-east of the current Kalan tribe. Naturally, it should be the Gutav tribe that the old patriarch mentioned.

Lu Yunkai would definitely go to that place, but after meeting the Kalan tribe, Lu Yunkai understood that recruiting giants into his own force or something...

Yes, but not necessary.

It is true that these giants were defeated by Voldemort, but Lu Yunkai also understood that even if he could use force to force this giant tribe to become his subordinates, it was definitely not a force that could be relied on and trusted: these big men would definitely do it There must be things like defecting before the battle.

Because to them, humans are enemies and enemies. Help the enemy? That's impossible. All they can do is to be coerced by their enemies, so if they can escape or even strike back, they will never hesitate.

Anyway, what Lu Yunkai and Klum originally said was to travel to Bulgaria and look around, so there was no specific time limit. Even if Lu Yunkai spent the rest of his summer vacation in Bulgaria, no one would say anything. Naturally, Don't worry anymore.

Wait for Kris! With the cat by his side, Lu Yunkai could still have many advisers.

There are also thugs...

In this way, Lu Yunkai returned to Sophia. After waiting for several days, Chrissy finally arrived after a long journey.

Well, actually, saying that it is dusty is a bit beautifying. This poor cat has been traveling all the way. Otherwise, with its speed, it should have arrived long ago.

"Meow, it's not until these two days anyway, why are you urging me! Is Daphne in a hurry to have a baby??"

Facing Lu Yunkai who was waiting impatiently, Chris shut his mouth with just one word.

Really not that anxious...

And in Bulgaria these days, Lu Yun has been driving quite well. I put on Muggle clothes and traveled around the city every day, eating something that I couldn't eat in England. I was even invited to Krum's place of work to gain a lot of experience, and even played a game of Quidditch with Krum. Friendly match... and proved once again that he really didn't have the talent to play Quidditch.

But since Chris arrived, Lu Yunkai didn't delay any more. He took Chris and the map all the way to the tribe said to be called Gutafu that day.

Lu Yunkai heard from the leader of the Kalan tribe that this tribe was particularly unfriendly to wizards, so he was ready for a fight. As a "backup", he even told Chris to be ready to take action. psychological preparation.

However……

"This distinguished guest, you are finally here."

When Lu Yunkai arrived outside the cave where the Gutav tribe was located, the smile on the face of the huge female giant made him dumbfounded.

Are you welcomed?

What do you mean I'm finally here, you knew I would come?

Did Krum tell you?

And, more importantly...

Why can this giantess speak human language? ?

So, are there still geniuses in the giant tribe?

…
