Vol 2 Chapter 474: Gift (modified)

Through the family medal secretly carried by Lucius Malfoy, Allen determined the location, teleported to his vicinity and walked towards him invisibly.
Sitting at the root of a huge tree, Lucius chewed a dry sandwich with expressionless face, and took a sip of the brandy in the angled jug he carried with him from time to time to get rid of the cold. McNeill, the tall and thin Death Eater with him, was standing on a boulder and looking down the ridge.
At this moment, a vague voice suddenly sounded in Lucius's heart: "Lucius, this is Alan Harris, please relax and don't try to use Occlumency to resist."
Lucius put down the sandwich in his hand, pretended to be doing nothing, and quickly scanned the surrounding environment, but no trace of Alan was found.
"Don't worry, Lucius, they can't find me. It's you, you must complete the task of recruiting giants given to you by Voldemort as soon as possible, and then leave here." Allen ordered.
"But McNeill, who came with me, would not listen to my opinion. He is very aggressive. He has proposed to attack Hagrid several times along the way. And this mission is only for me and the people I brought back. , I'm afraid the Dark Lord will doubt me." Lucius said worriedly.
"I ask you to take the giant back, and you will take it back. McNeill will attack him if he wants to attack. I will deliberately save his life to let him go back. In this way, you have completed the recruitment of giants assigned to you by Voldemort with caution. Going back to the mission, but because he wanted to attack Hagrid, the Death Eaters he brought not only suffered heavy casualties, but also failed to complete the recruitment mission. This will help you gain the trust of Voldemort and get more news. Please. Let everyone hear your warning and admonition to McNeill in this regard. You must know that I originally planned to control these giants, but since you told my father beforehand, it proved your value. So let you successfully recruit some giants to help you complete the tasks that Voldemort has given you. I think this is a contribution I am very willing to bear. I hope you can seize this opportunity. Please be as fast as possible."
Allen's words calmed Malfoy's heart. Every word of Allen's words was in his heart. When he betrayed Voldemort and sent a message to Harris, he was very nervous and worried that Harris would cross the river and tear down the bridge. He ignored the news. His life and death began to act on the giant.
Without missing Malfoy's insignificant nod, Allen returned to Maggie.
Following the gaze of the house-elf who was responsible for stalking, Alan saw Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim under the tree. In this huge virgin forest, Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim looked very harmonious. The elegant lady was not as squeamish as Hagrid imagined. She lay on Hagrid’s leather jacket with her head resting on Hagrid’s lap. Hagrid gently looked at Madam Maxim’s peacefully sleeping face. One hand gently lifted, and quietly stroked her hair.
Allen didn't disturb the two men, and moved quietly to the commanding height he had already observed. From that position, he could see the scene under the ridge.
From a distance, countless huge shadows under the ridge fell to the ground, their sleeping positions are different: wildly placed in large fonts, curled up in a ball, and cuddling with each other...
The level of civilization of the giants can be seen only from their sleeping position. Some older giants with wrinkled skin are not like those strong young giants who sleep directly on the ground. They are covered with thick thatch and animal skins. Their dress is also closer to that of human civilization and society, and they are not naked like other uncivilized young giants, only covering their private parts.
The snoring of the giants was terrifying, and even before the sun appeared, it caused an avalanche.
After daybreak, Mrs. Maxim adjusted her dress, tilted her head and did not look at Hagrid. Two red clouds rose unnaturally on her face, although she was taller than Hagrid so that she was not very suitable to show this. expression……
After Mrs. Maxim restored her former elegance, she took out a gublai fairy fire from her pearl-encrusted, non-marking folding bag and gave it to Hagrid.
Hagrid blinked and lifted the Gubrai fairy fire high, and the two of them walked straight down the mountain.
Allen saw their target at a glance-the giant's leader Gu Ge, in a depression between the four mountains, near a mountain lake, Gu Ge lying on the lake, roaring people to feed him and his wife.
Gu Ge's body is the largest of all giants, about 22 feet tall, as heavy as two male elephants, and his skin is as rough as a rhino. He was also the ugliest and laziest, sitting there waiting for others to feed him something like dead sheep.
Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim walked down the hillside. Hagrid held up the present, staring at Gu Ge, ignoring the others. The other giants who had been moving knew that they had to give gifts to the leader and had to calm down. They could only watch them walk by. They walked to Gu Ge's feet, bowed, and put the gift down. Before him.
Hagrid put the eternally burning Goublay fairy fire on the snow near Gu Ge's feet, and said, "Albus Dumbledore gave the giant Gu Ge a gift in respect."
Gu Ge called two elderly giants. They had been in the human society, and they could understand English and act as a translator for them.
When the two giants told the giants present about the ability of the Gubrai fairy fire to continue to burn and never extinguish, there was a commotion in the camp, and the giants were very happy.
At this moment Hagrid said, "Albus Dumbledore said, when the messenger brings gifts tomorrow, please ask Gu Ge to talk to him."
It’s not that Hagrid didn’t want to talk to Gu Ge on the same day, but Dumbledore had told him that he would take his time and let the giants see them keeping their promises—if he did bring gifts tomorrow, he would give them a good impression. . And let them have time to examine the first gift, find it is a good thing, and want more.
And, giants like Gu Ge-say a lot at once, they will kill you, simple thing. So Hagrid and Olim bowed back and found a comfortable cave to spend the night.
In the evening, Gu Ge sent the giant who was in charge of translators to inform them that they had held a welcome banquet for Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim.
The giants set up grills and pots on top of the burning campfires.
Some relatively short male giants who seem to have no place in the tribe cut open wild onions, mashed wild garlic, peeled chestnuts, cut wild boar into small cubes, and threw them into a large pot set up on a campfire.
"When they start to emit heat, put the elk feces in, and pour horse urine...Does it feel disgusting?" The elderly giant in charge of translation has sadness in his eyes~EbookFREE.me~ never experienced it. The life of the giants of human society is like this. The lack of material makes them only get the so-called'spices' from these things. "
Mrs. Maxim forcibly controlled her desire to vomit and turned her head away.
Hagrid didn't say hypocritical things like flattery, he just scratched the back of his head with his big hand.
"After a while, you can just eat barbecue with only salt sprinkled on it. Remember to be rude. As long as you are eating, giants will not be careful to observe your preferences." The giant kindly gave advice , "Forgive me, I have forgotten your etiquette for not communicating with you for too long, please call me Leto."
"Thank you, Leto." Hagrid patted Leto's arm.
Like Mrs. Maxim, his eyes searched among the giants, he wanted to find his relatives.
"What are you looking for?" Just as Hagrid and the others were looking at the giants, Leto was also watching them.
"Fried Waffa, I'm looking for her, she is my mother. Leto, do you know where she is?" Hagrid asked, raising his head.
"Let me think about it," Leto lowered his head in a pensive look. Hagrid couldn't see his expression clearly, but only heard him say, "Ah, I remember, Friedvara, the poor woman. , She has been dead for many years."
Upon hearing the words, Madam Maxim looked at Hagrid and patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm okay Olim," Hagrid looked at Mrs. Maxim's eyes brightly, "I don't remember her very much, she is not a good mother."
"Sorry, please allow me to leave first." Leto bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Alan, who had been open to mindfulness, found out that Leto had lied. He gave Maggie a few words, and Maggie quietly followed.
