Chapter 736 The Shadow Outside the Window
Aiwen's index finger slid down quickly, and he found the name of Hagrid's mother Friedwafa in the long list of events.
During Voldemort's reign, she joined him with a dozen giants and caused several Muggle massacres.
Friedwafa and her companions attacked a village and killed hundreds of Muggles, which shocked the whole society at the time.
In the Muggles, they explained that it was a landslide, but the wizards knew what was going on.
After that, Friedwafa disappeared. Long before Voldemort was finished, it is said that she ran to a giant tribe abroad. How did she get there? It should be helped by wizards. There are many weirdos like Hagrid's father against giants. I have a soft spot.
Ivan put down this piece of parchment, and picked up another one, which was a narrative about the Cyclops, the ancestor of the giant.
It is generally believed in the magic world that giants are further weakened descendants of Cyclops, and their abilities are weaker than Cyclops.
Cyclops mainly live in Sicily, Italy. Huge, one-eyed, and fear are synonymous with them.
Compared with them, giants can only be regarded as short. The cyclops recorded in the data are at least a hundred feet tall, almost as tall as half of Hogwarts Castle. It is said that their one-eyed eyes on their foreheads can cast curses.
Any cowardly soul who gazes at the One-Eyed eye immediately moans.
Ivan swiped it with a quill pen and made a mark. It seems that the eyes of the Cyclops are as magical as the basilisk.
To deal with this creature, the Eye Sickness Spell is essential, but it's not as simple as that...
Unlike giants who have no magical ability at all, cyclops are born with thunder magic. This is a very rare and powerful spell that even wizards cannot use. They can only use special magic props or alchemy products to use thunder and lightning.
In Ravenclaw's memory, Gryffindor mentioned this, and he suffered in the battle with the Cyclops.
Hermione helped Ivan collect comprehensive information. She believed that the ability of Cyclops was inherited from their ancestor Titans. Simply put, it is similar to the relationship between Cyclops and giants. Cyclops is the further weakened descendant of Titans.
The exact circumstances are unknown, but titans are mythical creatures older than cyclops and ancient sorcerers, and no one has ever seen them.
Whether the Cyclops is a descendant of the Titans has been debated in academic circles.
In Muggle Greek mythology, they are all direct descendants of Uranus, the god of the sky. This statement obviously does not hold water in the magical world.
The last Cyclops died more than seven hundred years ago, and the Titans are obviously much older than the Cyclops, and more powerful.
Wizards generally believe that the Titans are the original creators, they are the gods from which everything began.
With the excavation of ancient relics, a new saying has emerged in American academic circles in recent years. Some wizards believe that no matter whether they are wizards, mermaids, goblins, centaurs or cyclops, everyone is actually a descendant of Titans. .
This school of thought proposes that for some purpose, the Titans used soil, magma, and water sources to build many magical creations without flesh and blood on the earth in the early days of the earth's birth, and then they left the planet.
For some unknowable reason, these creations gradually evolved during the long life evolution, from inorganic to organic, the whole process is called "the curse of flesh and blood", and the result is that these creations were originally made of The body made of rock and mud began to soften, turning into flesh with blood flowing.
In a long process, the curse of flesh and blood made these inorganic creations with infinite life gradually become flesh and blood, bringing them life, old age, sickness, death, gold, and free will and emotion. They are also called the original life.
According to the theory of Muggle biological evolution, they gradually evolved into new species, including giants, humans and so on.
After these creatures have fully transformed into flesh creatures, the curse of flesh will no longer have effect.
This emerging school born in the United States systematically explained the origin of life and was able to justify itself.
The clues they found in ancient ruins around the world can also support this statement to a certain extent.
These American wizards even began to map different creatures and record their evolution.
Ai Wen put the thick documents aside and sighed.
While the European wizarding world was entangled with Voldemort, wizards abroad were actually studying the origin of life.
If there is a chance, he would like to go out and have a look, see the magic world in other countries, and feel the customs there...
In the next second, Ivan got up from the bed abruptly, took out his wand as quickly as possible, and pointed it forward.
The early warning magic he left was touched by something, just outside the window.
By the dim candlelight, Ai Wen saw a shadow on the thin curtain, a shadow of a person, getting closer.
Judging by the body shape, it seems to be a woman, and there are constantly rustling sounds...
She seemed to want to come in and enter Ivan's room, but was blocked by defensive magic and could not open the window.
During dinner, Sirius joked with Aiwen and told him to be more careful at night. French girls are very enthusiastic. Seeing Aiwen living alone, they might come to his door, and now they really came!
But if possible, Aiwen hopes that the other party can pass through the door normally, instead of climbing in through the window...
The wand in his hand jumped up gently, the curtains were cut open, and in the next second, a horrifying and ugly face appeared in front of Ivan.
Just like in a horror movie, Ivan saw a huge owl-like face looming against the window, its face covered with silver-gray feathers, its ears pointed, and its large disproportionate eyes with almost no white inside. , only big eyeballs.
It opened its mouth and let out a growl at Ivan, stretching out its sharp black claws like pliers.
It's the Owlman, the monster that the barkeeper says has recently appeared in Dijon!
In the middle of the night, when he suddenly saw this horrifying scene outside his window, Ivan was also taken aback. His heart was beating violently, but the wand in his hand was very steady, and a red magic ray almost instantly Jet out.
With a bang, the window shattered, and the Owlman outside was knocked away by the spell.
Aiwen ran over quickly, waved his wand, aimed at the monster that fell in the yard, and cast several spells in succession.
This guy obviously didn't expect Ivan to be so strong, he was caught off guard by the beating, rolled on the ground, and kept making strange noises.
