Chapter 196 Study Study

"Hello, guest, I am the leader of the Gutav tribe, and my name is Keloti."

A young giant sat on a huge stone in the cave and said to Lu Yunkai who entered the cave.

"Our clan leader is introducing himself to you, the guest. You can call him Keloti."

The giant woman who led the way for Lu Yunkai translated to him.

She didn't know that Lu Yunkai could understand the giant's language. And Lu Yunkai didn't intend to let her know.

"Please convey my greetings to your clan leader." Lu Yunkai nodded, "I'm curious, how did you know that I would come? You seemed to be waiting for me just now, right?"

The female giant immediately began to speak to the patriarch in giant language.

A long paragraph.

Mainly just flattering...

Lu Yunkai just asked her to convey his greetings, but he didn't expect that she actually said a lot of nonsense praising the patriarch.

Forget it, this is also the way to survive. Giants already have a very difficult life, so there is no need to expose it.

And as the giantess flattered her, the young patriarch's expression obviously became better.

"Our priest predicted as early as two years ago that a young human will come to the tribe this year. He will be the key to lifting the curse that has lasted for thousands of years on our giants. I have been waiting for you for two years." The patriarch said cheerfully said loudly.

"...The patriarch said that through stargazing last night, he learned that a human wizard would arrive today." The female giant translated to Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

This giantess...what does it mean? ?

"I came here to ask a small question. I would be grateful if I could get an answer from the clan leader." Lu Yunkai continued calmly.

"He said that he didn't know much about the curse. He just had a question to ask you, the patriarch." The giantess translated.

The clan leader was also stunned.

"You let him say it."

When the patriarch spoke again, his expression was obviously not as good as before.

"Dear guest, if you have any questions, please tell me." The giantess continued to translate.

"I want to ask a question about the curse on the giant." Lu Yunkai still had a smile on his face, "I just don't know if it's convenient for you to answer. I want to see the mark that your tribe suppressed that is said to be a human curse, and Your legendary nine guardian emblems.”

"I'm sorry, distinguished guest, I don't know what you are talking about." The female giant did not translate this time, but shook her head directly to Lu Yunkai, "We have not received any curse, let alone any suppression mark. I don't know where you came from. I heard it somewhere, but it must be a rumor.”

"Oh?" Lu Yunkai raised his eyebrows, glanced at the clan leader who was confused but already a little impatient while listening to him talking to the giantess, and then took out the speaker that could translate from the space bag, "I can Do you want to talk to the clan leader alone?"

This sentence, through the loudspeaker, was translated into giant language.

The giantess was stunned.

The clan leader was also stunned.

"Can you understand our language?" The giantess seemed a little angry.

"Of course." Lu Yunkai glanced at the giantess, and then said directly to the patriarch: "I want to see your curse mark and your guard emblem. Is it convenient, patriarch?"

The clan leader's already somewhat impatient face suddenly showed an extremely wonderful expression.

He looked at the giantess and then at Lu Yunkai.

"Some of your translator's words were incomplete." Lu Yun smiled, "I won't pay attention to etiquette, let's communicate directly!"

"Meow?? There's something wrong with what the giantess just said??"

Crouching on Lu Yunkai's shoulder, Chrissy, who couldn't understand the giant's language, finally figured out what was going on.

Is this giantess up to something inside? ?

"You, get out." The patriarch pointed at the female giant and said.

"Clan leader, humans can't be trusted..."

"Get out!!" The patriarch grabbed a huge stone from the side and threw it towards the female giant.

The giantess hid quickly.

With a bang, the entire cave shook as the rocks hit the wall.

Hearing the sound, two giants rushed in immediately from outside.

"Take her out." The patriarch pointed to the female giant who fell on the ground in a somewhat embarrassed state, and then looked at Lu Yunkai, "Are you here to see the curse?"

"I'm just curious, but I may not be the person you say can solve it..."

"Please!! Don't care about that curse!! Please!!"

The female giant shouted to Lu Yunkai in human words.

before she was carried out by two other giants.

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

in spite of? ? No, how could anyone in this world like to live with a curse...

Are you Voldemort?

Lu Yunkai muttered, but still looked at the clan leader.

Hearing that Lu Yunkai was here for the curse as the priest in the tribe said, the clan leader Ke Luoti had no intention of delaying, stood up directly, and led Lu Yunkai out of the cave.

"Go and see our priest. In his place, you can see the emblem you want to see."

As Ke Luoti said, Lu Yunkai had no objection.

Just climbing a mountain behind a strong six-meter-tall giant is really not what Lu Yunkai is good at. One step was enough for Lu Yun to run for half a day on his short legs (compared to a giant, of course).

So Lu Yunkai simply took out his broomstick.

Just like that, riding on a broom, following the giant, Lu Yunkai headed towards a mountain behind.

Along the way, Lu Yunkai also chatted with the giant patriarch.

The content of the chat was naturally about the so-called curse.

Koloti didn't know what the curse was specifically about. He just heard from his father that this curse would shorten their lifespans, make their brains dumber, and each female giant could only give birth to two children at most in her lifetime, and would die when she gave birth to the third child.

In summary, it was to limit the strength of a single individual and the number of populations at the same time...

Even though Lu Yunkai didn't know much about things like the reproduction of races and the development of civilization, he also felt that this curse was a bit too vicious. In this case, the total number of giants, less than a thousand in total, had not yet become extinct after ten thousand years. It can only be said that this race might really have something mysterious.

Because of this, Lu Yunkai became more and more interested in the curse that might have something to do with Daphne.

After running wildly in the mountains for more than half an hour, Lu Yunkai finally saw a large flat land of more than 200 meters in square in front of him.

At one end of the flat land, there was a cave.

Keluoti led Lu Yunkai all the way to the cave.

Compared with the huge cave that Lu Yunkai had just seen Keluoti, this place was obviously much smaller, but it didn't matter, because as soon as Lu Yunkai stepped into the cave, he was attracted by the things engraved on the stone wall.

There were several symbols. And among them...

"Meow!! That!! Isn't that the symbol on your ring!!"

Chris on his shoulder got excited before Lu Yunkai.

"What's the origin of this one below?" Lu Yunkai pointed to the one at the bottom of the pile of symbols on the wall and asked.

It was an irregular pentagram, and there were some strange symbols around it...

Well, a symbol that Lu Yunkai was very familiar with.

He had tried very hard to carve this symbol on a gold ring...

Oh, maybe there is a little difference in the surrounding decorations, but Lu Yunkai is sure that the unique pentagram is exactly the same.

"The source of our curse. The source of all evil." Koloti glanced at a giant sitting cross-legged next to him, who looked about the same age as the chief Lu Yunkai had seen in the Kalan tribe, and was resting with his eyes closed. "This is our priest."

The priest opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yunkai.

Then he looked at Chris on Lu Yunkai's shoulder.

After looking for a long time, Chris began to feel uncomfortable all over.

"Meow! Why are you staring at me like that?"

"No." The priest shook his head and stared at Chris, "The messenger of God is not like this."

"...What? He is not what you said..." Koloti was a little confused when he heard the priest's words.

"The messenger of God is not a human, but a cat." The priest continued to stare at Chris, "But the messenger of God... should not have hair on his body."

"Ah?" Koloti was dumbfounded. He looked at Chris on Lu Yunkai's shoulder with an absurd look on his face.

"Meow? Why are they staring at me?" Chris seemed to feel something was wrong.

"That old giant said you are a messenger of God, but you are a fake." Lu Yunkai translated with a weird look on his face: "The real messenger of God has no hair on his body."

"Meow? What does this have to do with hair?" Chris was even more confused.

"Take him out." The priest looked at the patriarch, "He can't help with the curse."

"But he also came to ask about the curse!"

"No, it's not right." The priest insisted: "I can feel that he doesn't have what the ritual requires, he can't help at all."

"No." The patriarch shook his head, "I want to try."

"I've said it's definitely not possible..."

"How do you know if you don't try!" Koloti shook his head, "What if it works? This curse has lasted for ten thousand years, I've had enough!"

"It won't work even if I try."

"Holding a ceremony won't do anything." The patriarch insisted, "You go and arrange it, we'll do it today."

"...Yes, patriarch."

The old priest was silent for a long time before nodding, using a three-meter-high wooden stick next to him to support himself, stood up from the ground, and then hunched over and walked out of the cave.

"What ceremony are you talking about?" Lu Yunkai looked at the giant patriarch with a strange expression.

He suddenly felt that something seemed a little wrong.

"Our ancestors left behind a sacrificial ceremony. It is said that if the ceremony is performed at the right time, the curse on us can be removed." Koloti answered patiently, "We perform a sacrificial ceremony every year. We plan to try it tonight."

"...What kind of ceremony? Is there a sacrifice?" Although Lu Yunkai's expression could not be seen, he was a little worried.

What kind of ceremony is he going to perform as soon as he arrives... Why does it sound like he is going to be used as a sacrifice.

"No need." Koloti shook his head, "It's just a ceremony. We dance in the venue prepared by the priest outside."

"Oh. Then can I watch?" Lu Yunkai imagined a scene of a group of giants dancing together in one place...

Don't say it, it should be very interesting.

"Of course! You are welcome!" The giant patriarch had a hopeful smile on his face.

...

One day later, the headquarters of the Bulgarian Wizard Union.

"Are you going back to England?"

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you during this time."

"What's the trouble! Recently you've been playing your own game, and I'm too busy to take care of you."

"No! No need!"

Lu Yun smiled and shook his head at Krum.

"Then I won't send you off?"

"No! No! Just give me the door key."

"Okay, I'll go register."

"Um."

…

Another day later.

"Meow, are you in such a hurry to escape back to England? Even if the ceremony is not completed and you are not to blame, those giants will not dare to do anything to you."

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! It's not because of this...Okay, you can run back by yourself! I will go back through the door key first."

"Meow, you really can't take me with you? Running is very tiring!"

"No, that door key is only for my own use... Don't worry, I will wait for you. I will get it after you go back."

"Meow? What are you doing?"

"Ritual! Summoning ceremony."

"...Summoning...ritual?? Meow??"

"It's the ritual those giants performed there."

"Didn't they all fail?"

"That's because their summoning magic circle is incomplete and missing something."

"Meow??"

"Okay, it's not convenient to talk about it here. I'll tell you when I get home... this matter is interesting."

"Meow!! Then you go back first! I'm leaving!"

Kris nodded to Lu Yunkai, and then disappeared like a shadow.

Lu Yunkai sighed with a smile and picked up the brooch that Krum had just given him as a door key.

The next second, his figure returned to the Ministry of Magic in London.

"You're back?"

"Okay. Is there anything else you want to register?"

Lu Yunkai looked at the Ministry of Magic staff in front of him with a smile on his face.

He had an impression of this person. When he went to Bulgaria, it was this person who arranged it.

"No more. Just return the door key." The staff member shook his head.

Lu Yunkai handed the brooch to the staff and left the Ministry of Magic with a smile.

Fireplace, Floo powder, home.

And before he even had time to use a cleaning spell to clean up the fireplace ashes on himself, he had already bought a piece of parchment from the system.

Seven hundred gold galleons, summoning scroll.

Something that Lu Yunkai had seen before when he was imitating that ring.

At that time, Lu Yunkai didn't know how to use this thing.

And now, he knows.

perhaps.
