I was expelled from Hogwarts?

Chapter 501 Curse of Giants

Listening to Gunter's description, Rove looked at the mural raptly, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The so-called powerful enemy is obviously an ancient wizard, and the content of this mural is also a scene of a coalition of wizards, goblins, giants and centaurs fighting him.

Hufflepuff once said that the coalition army used some means to cut the immortal ancient wizard into five parts, and then sealed them separately...

It turns out that means is a very powerful weapon.

While the boy was still thinking, Newt shook his head and said decisively:

I've never heard of this story. In fact, when our family settled in Fertile Land, the Giant City had already been lost.

Gunter smiled noncommittally. He looked up at the mural and continued:

Although there is no evidence to investigate the whereabouts of the weapon used by the giant, there are still some illusory rumors.

For example... It was obtained by the goblin and placed in the deepest vault of Gringotts; it was hidden by the centaur, and its location was hidden in the ancient astrology; or, it disappeared along with the city of giants.

In short, there are different opinions, but the history is so long that it is completely impossible to verify its whereabouts. The old man stood with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently: And no one knows where it is.

Maybe it's already destroyed, Rove interjected.

This may also exist, after all, the weapon is stained with the blood of that powerful wizard. Gaunt glanced at the boy sideways, smiled kindly and said:

Anyway, they are all illusory legends, who really experienced that era to know the exact truth?

Even Nicole Flamel, who is the longest living person today, is only six hundred years old. If the history of mankind is shortened to one hour, he can't even take up a short second.

Gaunt laughed and said, Anyway, I'm going to say it in vain, and you just take it for granted.

For a while, everyone fell silent, and Gunter walked towards the giant door. He walked in along the opening of the stone door, half of his body disappeared, and turned his head and said:

I'll show you around this room. I dug for a long time before I opened this door.

Gunter disappeared behind the door, followed by the three.

Rove's first feeling when he entered the room was that it was stuffy. This room was like a huge stove, which made people feel hot all over.

He looked up again and saw a square hall with a height of a hundred feet. In the center stood two rows of stone pillars, carved to look like the trunks of giant trees, supporting the ceiling.

A brilliant starry sky is painted on the ceiling, with different line drawings superimposed to show the various horoscopes.

This is the winter palace of the giant city. The geothermal energy is continuously transmitted from the ground, so the royal family among the giants will live in it in winter.

Gaunt walked forward, his footsteps disturbing the thick dust on the floor, and he reminded:

Be careful where you step, there are giant remains everywhere.

Rove looked down and indeed saw a pile of huge skulls lying on the dead floor, as if they had been dead for thousands of years.

After they walked for a long time, they came to the end of the room. On the steps, there was a huge chair on which sat an extremely huge white corpse with empty eye sockets, as if it was overlooking everyone.

The one sitting on the chair is Andal VI, the last king of the Giant City, and the bones on the ground are also royal.

Their deaths led to the direct closure of the giant city, and the brilliant civilization of the giants was completely lost in the long river of history.

How did they die? Rove asked.

Very good question. A light smile appeared on Gaunt's face:

When I was excavating this city of giants, I roughly pieced together a terrible truth. These giants were all killed by Andal VI.

He tricked these giants into the Winter Palace, locked the gate, let them kill each other, and finally Andal VI also died here.

Is it hard to believe this statement? Gaunt turned around, looked at the three, and sighed:

But cruelty, bloodthirsty, and cannibalism are inherent in giants. Otherwise, this race that once had a great civilization would not be on the verge of extinction.

Gunter said to himself:

As for why giants like to kill each other so much, it is said that it is caused by the marriage of close relatives. The number of giants is rare, and they often marry between brothers, sisters, and close relatives, which leads to a bit extreme personality.

Of course, there is another rumor...

The old man paused, and said in an old voice:

In the war that year, the giant dismembered the powerful enemy with his own hands, and the blood sprayed on him...caused the eternal curse of the giant race.

That is, they will always kill each other until the entire group dies.

Hearing the word curse, Rove subconsciously narrowed his eyes sensitively.

He knew that the wizard had a blood curse, but he didn't expect that the giant was also burdened with a terrible curse.

From this point of view, the price of sealing that ancient wizard was really tragic.

Corvinus, I think we should go back. Newt said suddenly, Tina is still waiting for us at home. If she doesn't go back, she should be in a hurry.

Well, I did delay you for a long time. Gaunt smiled apologetically: I'll take you out now.

The old man raised his arm again, and the three gently supported it, and returned to the ground.

Newt quickly opened his box, ready to summon the fire dragon, while Gunter walked up to Rove, stared at him, and said with a smile on his face:

Rove, I must apologize to you about the Time-Turner.

I didn't expect that my silent man, Saul Crocker, would be controlled by Pettigrew Peter with the Imperius Curse, which would cause you a lot of trouble. This is my oversight as the director of the Department of Mysteries.

Mr. Gunter, the trouble has been resolved. Rove said calmly, But the time converter has already exploded.

Just explode, it's just a time converter. Gunter didn't care, he invited:

My child, I see that you seem to be fascinated by giants? Are you interested in working in my Department of Mysteries? I still have a lot of information and information here, which you can browse.

Rove was very surprised that Gunter would invite himself to be the silent person. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and refused:

After I graduate, I still want to be a magizoologist.

Gaunt couldn't help laughing, I asked your grandfather the same way back then, and his reason for rejecting me was exactly the same as yours, you Scamander.

Good-bye, young Mr. Scamander and Miss Swinton.

Gunter glanced at Rove, then at Shirley, and finally said with a bright smile:

One day, we will meet again.
