Chapter 733: The Customs of Giants
"Thank you, just let me have some coffee to refresh myself!" Ivan said, and walked over, "Hagrid, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Oh, this is a helmet made by goblins. It's indestructible and beautiful, isn't it?" Hagrid said, and handed the delicate helmet with dark green light in his hand to Ivan, "I think those giants will like it, I think Have a lot of confidence in it.”
Aiwen looked down at the inscription on the helmet in his hand. It was an ancient rune: People can control their own destiny. If we are controlled by others, the fault is not fate, but ourselves!
This sentence sounds familiar, isn't this helmet
"The Crown of Destiny!" Sirius said softly. "It is said that it once belonged to King Arthur, and Merlin guided him to obtain it. It is a legendary magic item with great historical value. Of course, ours is just an imitation, but it is still priceless , the real Crown of Destiny and the Sword of Kings have long been hidden by goblins, some say they are in the deepest part of Gringotts."
Goblins are very good at forging, almost all well-known weapons and equipment are produced by them.
But the greedy goblins have a very bad habit. They think that the ownership of these legendary magic items will always belong to the creators, that is, themselves, and humans just pay a very high price to rent these items from them.
After the user dies, they will recycle these weapons and equipment so that they will never appear again.
If Gryffindor hadn't played a trick and cast a spell on his sword, as long as the real Gryffindor could pull the sword out of the sorting hat, then Gryffindor's sword I'm afraid it's long gone.
Like those legendary magic items lost in history, become some goblin's collection.
"Dumbledore attaches great importance to the giants, and he took out valuable collections from himself and the Hogwarts underground vault." Hagrid said, rummaging through the pile of items, "the giants will Interested in them, as long as we use them properly."
Ivan and Sirius also started to help him sort out. Among the piles of presents, they also found a Gublai fairy fire.
The light blue flame was burning quietly, seemingly without temperature.
The Gublai Immortal Fire is an eternal fire that will never be extinguished, no matter what you do to it.
For alchemy and potion science, this Gublai fairy fire is simply the best configuration, and the price is also sky-high.
Ivan doubts what the giants will use it for, roast wild boar? Or use it as a candle?
It's a pity to give it to giants, but it does make them feel the presence of magic clearly.
Immediately afterwards, Aiwen found another dragon skin, which was completely peeled off from a giant dragon dozens of feet long.
The scale armor of the fire dragon has strong defensive power. To obtain a complete and undamaged fire dragon skin, dozens of wizards need to use the killing curse on the fire dragon at the same time or kill the fire dragon with a very rare poison. Then, it will take more than three months for the most skilled craftsmen to peel off the dragon skin completely.
The whole process is very troublesome, and the key point is still useless, no piece of equipment will use such a large dragon skin.
Nobody would do that except for a pureblood wizarding family who needed a full dragonskin to show their family glory and show off their wealth.
This dragon skin should be in the Hogwarts treasure house, and it is definitely not in Dumbledore's private collection.
In addition, there are many alchemy props and other magic items in this pile of gifts, all of which are rare treasures.
Although Dumbledore couldn't promise more to the giant, he hoped that the gift would make him feel his sincerity.
To be honest, if Aiwen was a giant, he would also be moved by this mountain of gifts.
Now let's see what Voldemort and the Death Eaters can come up with. This is a process of comparison and competition between the two sides.
"By the way, what do we do with these gifts, how do we communicate with the giant?" Aiwen asked.
"Dumbledore has ordered that we give the most precious gift to Gogo, the leader of the giants, as a token of our sincerity." Hagrid said, "After we find the giant, we must hold the gift high, eyes Keep an eye on Gugo, don’t pay attention to other people, they will understand our intentions and will not attack us actively. As for the rest, we will secretly stuff them to other giants, and don’t let Gugo find out.”
"Well, how can we know which one is Gugo?" Aiwen said, he remembered some customs about giants that Hermione helped him sort out, knowing that the leader has a high status in the giant tribe, and other giants must obey him Order.
"It's very easy, just look for the biggest, ugliest, and laziest giant, and he must be Gu Ge."
"Giants are aggressive by nature, and only the strongest ones are qualified to be leaders." Sirius then said, "They don't know how to use magic, and their heads are not very smart, so generally the biggest ones are the strongest."
An absurd picture appeared in Aiwen's head. A few of them crawled in front of a giant as ugly as a mountain, offering gifts to him, and the giant roared rudely at them
"Dumbledore told us not to rush, but to take our time and bring something good every day to impress them." Hagrid said, "I'm in charge of holding the gift for Gugo, okay? Let them all see. Aiwen, put the gifts for other giants in your bag, and take them out secretly when the time comes."
"Why don't we send all the presents at once?"
"That can't be done. It would be terrible to do that. You can't talk to creatures like giants too much at once, otherwise they will kill you directly. It's easy, you have to take it slowly, Talk to them slowly."
"Let them understand that you have more things for them, and let them have a sense of expectation, so that they will cooperate with us." Sirius said, "These are the experiences Dumbledore has accumulated from dealing with giants before. , which will never be recorded in the book.”
Indeed, the information Ivan found did not mention these specific methods of dealing with giants.
"It was a good experience. Not every wizard has the opportunity to come into contact with giants, let alone walk into a giant tribe. It's a pity that Harry and the others couldn't follow them. This is something that can't be learned in school." Hai Grid said, putting the last box away, "Okay, Alvin, do you have any questions?"
"Only one, which of you understands the language of giants?"
"Neither of us, but it doesn't matter. When giants were raging in England in the past, many giants learned English, and they even married human wizards and had children. For example," Hagrid hesitated before continuing, "just Like my mum Friedwafa, she should still be alive."
