Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 196 Learning to learn
"Hello, guest, I am the patriarch of the Gutav tribe, and my name is Koroti."

A young giant sat on a huge rock in the cave, and said to Lu Yunkai who walked into the cave.

"Our patriarch is introducing himself to the guests. You can call him Koroti."

The giantess who led the way for Lu Yunkai translated a sentence 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 from your patriarch." Lu Yunkai nodded, "I'm curious, how did you know I would come? You seemed to be waiting for me just now, right?"

The giantess immediately began speaking to the patriarch in Giant's language.

A long paragraph.

Mainly flattering...

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

Forget it, this is also the way to survive. The giant has already lived a very difficult life, so there is no need to expose it.

And following the giantess' flattery, the expression of the young patriarch obviously changed for the better.

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

"...The patriarch said that he watched the stars last night and learned that there will be a human wizard coming today." The giantess translated to Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai was taken aback.

What does this giantess... mean? ?

"I came here with a small question to ask, and I would be grateful if I could get the answer from the patriarch." Lu Yunkai continued calmly.

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

The patriarch was also taken aback.

"You let him talk."

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 giant's curse." Lu Yunkai still had a smile on his face, "I just don't know if you can answer it. I want to see the mark that is said to be cursed by humans that your tribe suppressed, and The legendary emblems of your nine guards."

"Sorry, honored guest, I don't know what you are talking about." The giantess did not translate this time, but shook her head directly at Lu Yunkai, "We have not received any curse, let alone any mark of suppression. I don't know where you came from I heard it somewhere, but it should be all rumors."

"Oh?" Lu Yun raised his eyebrows, glanced at the patriarch who was confused and impatient listening to himself talking to the giantess, and then took out the speaker that could translate from the interspatial bag, "I can Do you want to talk to the patriarch alone?"

This sentence was translated into Giant Language through the loudspeaker.

The giantess froze.

The patriarch 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 guardian emblem. Is it convenient, patriarch?"

The face of the patriarch, who was already a little impatient, had an extremely wonderful expression in an instant.

He looked at the giantess, and then at Lu Yunkai.

"Some of your translator's words are incomplete." Lu Yun laughed, "I don't care about etiquette anymore, let's communicate directly!"

"Meow?? There is something wrong with what the giantess said just now??"

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

Is this giantess playing tricks in there? ?
"You, go out." The patriarch pointed to the giantess and said.

"Patriarch, humans can't be trusted..."

"Get out!!" The patriarch casually grabbed a huge stone from the side and threw it at the giantess.

The giantess quickly dodged.

With a bang, the entire cave trembled as the stone hit the wall.

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

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

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

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

The giantess shouted to Lu Yunkai in human words.

Before she was framed by two other giants.

Lu Yunkai was taken aback.

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

Are you Voldemort? Are you?
Lu Yunkai muttered, but still looked at the patriarch.

Hearing that Lu Yunkai really came rushing to curse, as the priests in the tribe said, the patriarch Ke Luoti didn't mean to delay, stood up directly, and led Lu Yunkai out of the cave.

"Go and meet our priest. With him, 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 from others is enough for Lu Yun to run for half a day with his short legs (only compared to giants, of course).

So Lu Yunkai simply took out his broomstick.

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

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

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

Koroti didn't know what the content of the curse was.It's just that he heard from his parents that this curse is to shorten their lifespan and make their brains stupid, and each giantess can only have two babies at most in her life, and she will die when she gives birth to the third child.

To sum up, it is to limit the strength of the monomer, and at the same time limit the number of populations...

Even though Lu Yunkai didn't know much about things like the reproduction of races and the development of civilization, he still vaguely felt that this curse was a bit too vicious.In this case, the giants with a total of less than 1000 people have not become extinct after ten thousand years. It can only be said that there may be something mysterious about this race.

Also 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, a large flat land with a square of more than 200 meters finally appeared in front of Lu Yunkai.

And at one end of the plain, there is a cave.

Ke Luoti led Lu Yunkai all the way to the cave.

Compared with the huge cave that Lu Yunkai saw Ke Luoti just now, it is obviously much smaller, but this is not important, because as soon as Lu Yunkai stepped into the cave, he was attracted by the things carved on the stone wall .

That's a few symbols.And among them...

"Meow!! That!! That's the symbol on your ring!!"

Chris on her shoulder became excited one step ahead of Lu Yunkai.

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

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

Well, a symbol that Lu Yunkai is extremely familiar with.

He once tried very hard to engrave this symbol on a gold ring...

Oh, maybe there is a slight 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." Ke Luoti glanced at a giant sitting cross-legged beside him, who looked about the same age as the patriarch Lu Yunkai saw in the Kalan tribe, and was resting with his eyes closed, "This is the giant our priests."

The priest opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yunkai.

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

After watching for a long time, even Chris began to feel uncomfortable.

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

"No." The priest shook his head, then stared at Chris, "An envoy, it's not like this."

"...What? He's not quite what you said..." Koroti was a little dazed when he heard the priest's words.

"An envoy is not a human being, but a cat." The priest continued to stare at Chris, "but the envoy's body... shouldn't have hair."

"Huh?" Koroti was dumbfounded.He looked at Chris on Lu Yunkai's shoulder with an absurd expression.

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

"The old giant said you were an envoy, but it was a fake." Lu Yunkai translated with a strange expression: "The real envoy has no hair."

"Meow? What's the matter with Mao?" Chris became more confused.

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

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

"If it's not right, it's not right." The priest insisted, "I can feel that there is nothing in him that is needed for the ceremony, and he can't be of any help."

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

"I've already said it won't work..."

"How will you know if you don't try!" Ke Luoti shook his head, "What if it's possible? This has been a curse that has lasted for thousands of years, I've had enough!"

"Even if you try, you won't succeed."

"It doesn't matter if you hold a ceremony." The patriarch insisted, "You arrange it, we will carry it out today."

"...Yes, Patriarch."

The old priest was silent for a long time, then nodded, propped up by a three-meter-high wooden stick beside him, stood up from the ground, then walked out of the cave with a hunched body.

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

He suddenly felt that there was something wrong.

"Our ancestors left a sacrificial ceremony. It is said that performing the ceremony at the right time can remove the curse on us." Koroti replied patiently, "We perform a sacrificial ceremony every year. Tonight we plan to try try."

"...What kind of ceremony? Do you want to sacrifice something?" Although Lu Yunkai couldn't tell from his expression, he was a little worried.

What kind of ceremony will he perform as soon as he comes... No matter how it sounds, he will be used as a sacrifice.

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

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

Come on, it should be fun.

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

……

A day later, the headquarters of the Bulgarian Federation of Wizards.

"Are you going back to England?"

"Well, it's time to trouble you."

"There's no trouble! You've been playing with yourself recently. I'm busy and I don't have time to take care of you."

"no, I'm fine!"

Lu Yun smiled and shook his head at Krum.

"Then I won't send you off?"

"No! No! Just give me that portkey."

"Okay, I'll go and register."

"Ah."

……

Another day later.

"Meow, are you in such a hurry to escape back to England? Even if those giants didn't complete the ceremony, they can't blame you, and they dare not do anything to you."

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! It's not because of this...well, you can go back by yourself! I'll go back through that portkey first."

"Meow, can't you really take me with you? I'm tired from running!"

"No, that portkey is only allowed to be used by myself... 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... ceremony?? Meow??"

"It's the ceremony that group of giants performed there."

"Didn't they all fail!"

"That's because their summoning magic array is incomplete and lacks something."

"Meow??"

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

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

Chris nodded to Lu Yunkai, and then disappeared like a phantom.

Lu Yunkai sighed with a smile, and picked up the brooch that Krum just gave him as a port key.

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

"You're back?"

"Hmm. Is there anything else to register?"

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

He has an impression of this person. When he went to Bulgaria, this person arranged for him.

"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 on his face.

Fireplace, floo powder, home.

And before he even had time to use the cleaning spell to clean up the ashes on his body, he couldn't wait to buy a piece of parchment from the system.

Seven hundred gold Galleons, a summoning scroll.

A thing that Lu Yunkai had seen when he imitated that ring.

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

And now, he knows.

perhaps.
