Chapter 888 The Last Giant Hunt

"What's the matter? My mother, what's the matter?"

Maca and Hermione looked inexplicably at the fat wizard Bolbos who got up suddenly, and paused for a while before Maca shook his head dumbfounded.

"What the hell kind of accent is this?" He couldn't help complaining.

But unlike Maca's surprise, although Hermione also had a puzzled expression, she was only puzzled because she couldn't understand what the other party said.

"What language is this?" She hurriedly turned her head and asked Maca, "It sounds like a variant of ancient runes?"

"That's right, it's West Saxon with runes, and now we mainly learn Fusac with runes... Oh, of course, this Mr. Borbus's accent is very strange, and it's not pure. West Saxon..."

And during the casual conversation between the two, several more arrows fell from the sky, scaring the fat Bolbos to run to the side at least twenty feet away, and finally hid in a tree under the tree.

When Maca saw this, he just felt that this product seemed quite unreliable? It's rare that when he saw the name "Borbus" before, he had a lot of expectations for the first professor of ancient runes at Hogwarts!

But before he could think about it, there was a rumbling sound in the distance. In this world of ice and snow, it is obvious that the whole nearby ground is trembling slightly.

With the sound of "crash", the snow on the trees beside the road was affected by the vibration and fell directly.

So, just now, Borbos, who wanted to hide under the tree to prevent being accidentally injured by the arrow, was immediately covered in half of his body by the snow.

"Is it an earthquake? Or is there a volcano erupting?"

Luna has lost interest in that fat man now,

When Maca spoke to Hermione just now, she was still walking around in the snow on the side of the road. At this time, when she saw the vision, she seemed to finally regain her interest, but she guessed in another direction when it was obviously obvious.

"It's a giant!" Hermione corrected, "Don't you remember what Maca said before coming in? In 1051, the last giant hunt... We are now in the Greek area, and just now, it was probably the sound of a giant running. "

As Hermione said, this memory fragment is the selected scene where Borbus encounters a Greek wizard hunting a giant, and it is also the last unilateral hunting activity against a giant in the history of magic.

After that, of course, there were several battles between wizards and giants, but those were the real battles that came and went.

Right now, Borbos is in 1051, and many years ago, the largest wizard war in history had long since ended. The group of wizards who won the final victory regarded the defeated magical creatures as long-term hunting targets, including some humanoid species.

As for hunting giants, it may be the most dangerous hunting activity.

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-"

There was another tremor like a mountain shaking, which came from the opposite side of the village not far away.

Although Bolbos looked very timid, his IQ was not frightened at the same time. When he realized that the movement was coming towards him, he immediately pushed aside the surrounding snow and ran out, and then randomly chose a side perpendicular to the direction from which the shock was felt and started to escape.

He doesn't like the most popular hunting sports in the wizarding world today, especially the dangerous activities like hunting dragons or hunting giants.

But regarding the basic situation of these movements... as a well-known magic word scholar, he was forced to learn a lot about it.

He knew that the wizards hunting at this moment should still be in the stage of "rushing to the market".

Before officially starting to deal with the giants, the hunters will first drive away the giants gathered in twos and threes, and then stare at one of them to lead them into the distance.

This is a very classic method of hunting giants. It is said that in the wizarding war, the ancestors used this method to defeat the unorganized giant tribe.

Therefore, Borbos is going to immediately stay away from the routes of the hunters to drive away the giants-this choice is definitely not wrong in theory.

Unfortunately, theory and practice always have some bad deviations.

Just after Borbos ran for a short while, the rumbling sound suddenly appeared again, and the source of the vibration was still heading in the direction Borbos was escaping.

"Turning?" Maca, who was not far behind him, glanced curiously into the distance.

Hermione looked at Mr. Borbus in front of him a little strangely, and said puzzledly:

"Why doesn't he Apparate?"

"Because in the era when Hogwarts was just founded, Apparition was still the old version—you have already previewed the three elements, right? Purpose, determination, and calm...The wizards at that time only knew the first two The main point, so it must be after many consecutive successes that they can naturally become 'calm'."

Remember that when the next Christmas holiday passes, Hermione and the others will be at the age to learn the Apparation spell. For this reason, Maca also specially added a few more personal theories that he concluded from his in-depth research on this spell.

Although due to some abnormalities in his soul, he himself was still unable to stabilize the coordinates of his appearance. But this does not prevent him from researching the theory of this spell quite thoroughly, and it has even been applied to the making of Portkeys.

However, without mentioning the calmness of Maca and the others, Bolbos was in a lot of pain.

He was already fat, and it took him a lot of effort to run. Coupled with the sense of urgency that a huge monster was approaching, he felt exhausted before he had run for a long time.

"It's really terrible!"

Borbos muttered out of breath, then suddenly stopped running and sat down on the spot.

But just when Hermione thought he was going to give up and run away, she saw the chubby Borbus looking down in the satchel in a hurry.

Seeing this, the three of them also gathered around the fat wizard, hoping to see what good things he would come up with.

Speaking of which, Bolbos is indeed a very good magic literature scholar, but I don't know if it's because he spent all his time studying ancient magic texts, his charm learning level has always been below the average line .

Among the first professors at Hogwarts carefully hired by the Big Four back then, he was the only one who didn't know the Apparition Curse.

But at this moment, hearing the sound of the giant's running getting closer, Bolbos finally took out a...a piece of parchment from his satchel?

When Maca saw it, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

On that piece of parchment, he saw another rune array structure that he had never seen before—different from the ancient circular array and the circuit structure created by Maca himself, it was a polygonal irregular structure. Framed way.

And when Maca was still thinking about the special structure he saw, Borbos, holding the parchment, jumped up from the snow again, and rushed towards the source of the earthquake instead. .

Maca and the others saw it, and quickly followed suit.

From the symbolic patterns glimpsed on the parchment just now, it can be guessed that it should be a formation built with incomplete rule runes, but he has no way of knowing the specific effect at this time.

But just looking at Bolbos' confident appearance, the power should not be too small.

Not long after, when they followed the figure in front of them around a small forest, they suddenly saw a huge figure near the horizon in the distance.

Against the background of a round of sunset, that figure looked extraordinarily huge.

But Borbos was not frightened by the terrifying giant, he kept on running over there with big strides.

"Look, there are other wizards over there!"

Hermione had good eyesight, and immediately noticed the small figure beside the giant. It's just that next to the giant, those little people are not so conspicuous.

Naturally, Maca didn't need Hermione to remind him. He had already noticed that the contemporary wizards were taking turns attacking the giants, casting moderately powerful spells while running, luring the giants to move back and forth.

Giants are a species with a unique physical body. The strong and efficient muscles all over the body allow them to easily obtain a terrifying running speed that does not match their body size.

Therefore, when chasing and luring giants, the wizard's hunting team often needs to have a considerable degree of cooperation ability, so that people can at least avoid injuries as much as possible.

But at the next moment, Borbus, who was running there, suddenly stopped, and then ran back without hesitation, looking in a certain direction from time to time on the way.

Maca looked at where he was looking, and couldn't help grinning right after that—another giant came out from behind the mountain.

From the looks of it, the previous change in the source of the earthquake was not because the giant was "turning a corner", but two different giants were running separately!

When two or more giants appeared at the same time, the scene would become much more chaotic, and this was probably the reason why Bolbos decided to run away again.

Seeing the fat man passing by with a distressed face, Maca stopped looking at the two giants, and beckoned Hermione and Luna to continue to follow Bolbos.

This is Bolbos' memory world, if you are too far away from that guy, you won't be able to see anything.

But when the three of them hurriedly caught up with Borbos again, Maca quickly stopped, dumbfounded, and by the way shouted to Luna who was running too fast.

"No wonder Professor Binns said that Bolbos 'almost couldn't come back' at that time... It was really unlucky for him to meet three giants one after another?"

Undoubtedly, just far away in the direction that the fat man was facing, another giant suddenly stood up in that ravine.

Apparently, the shock of the running of the same race woke up the sleeping giant. ( )
