Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

As we all know, a giant is a humanoid magical creature with great strength, usually of huge size and unparalleled brute force, generally reaching a height of thirty to fifty feet, with strong magic resistance, and capable of using weapons.

Because of this, giants have been considered a terrifying tool of war since ancient times.

A giant can fight more than ten well-trained wizards, who are cruel by nature and hate magic very much.

In ancient times, they were killing machines on the battlefield, and in modern history, there have been several appalling incidents of giants massacring Muggles.

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 inhabit Sicily, Italy, and they are synonymous with giant, one-eyed, and fear.

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 kind of creature, the Eye Sickness Curse is essential, but it's not that simple...

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 700 years ago, and the Titans are obviously much older and more powerful than the Cyclops.

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 proposes that, for some purpose, Titans used soil, magma, and water sources to build many magic 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, Ivan saw a shadow on the thin curtain, a shadow of a person, getting closer.

Judging by the 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 magic 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.

Chapter 737 Tracking

"Damn wizard!" The owl monster rolled in the open space downstairs, screaming to avoid the spell, leaving a lot of feathers.

Its voice is very strange, it sounds like a real owl, sad and ominous...

"Can you speak human language?!" Aiwen's wand threw out another red light and hit the opponent.

The monster staggered and fell heavily to the ground, but quickly struggled to get up.

Aiwen was secretly surprised. With his current magic power and his Stunning Spell, a normal person would faint if hit by one hit, but Hagrid would only hit it three or four times. The monster below can still struggle after being hit by three Stunning Spells in a row It is almost as resistant to magic as a half-giant.

What the hell is this? Ivan has never seen it before, nor has he seen any relevant information in the book.

From the appearance alone, this guy should not be born, but looks like a product of some kind of evil magic transformation or a demon, but the transformation is obviously not complete, it can only be said to be semi-demonic, because there are still some evil spirits left on him. distinctly human traits.

Under the bar, the monster resisted Aiwen's three stun spells, and his movements obviously slowed down, and he was about to be unable to hold on...

It raised its head again and let out a strange cry, and looked at Ivan with disgust with those big scary eyes without whites.

Looking at it, Ai Wen felt a bad feeling in his heart.

The next second, a dangerous green light suddenly flew from bottom to top, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hide under the window.

Green light hit the window frame, and flames burst into flames.

When Ivan extinguished the flame, the monster below turned and fled, and the strange figure gradually disappeared into the night.

"It's getting more and more interesting to be able to use magic!" Ivan thought, looking at the direction where it disappeared.

There was a rush of footsteps in the stairwell outside, and Sirius and Hagrid rushed in.

There was a pungent smell of alcohol, and the two of them seemed to be drinking a lot, Ivan hoped that they would be more vigilant.

The journey to find giants is no joke, not to mention the monsters just now, they might run into Death Eaters at some point.

These two guys are so smug, but that's what they seem to be...

"What's going on, we heard the sound of fighting!" Sirius gasped and shouted, "Ivan, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I was just lying on the bed reading a book, and suddenly felt that someone wanted to enter my room, and I had a simple fight." Ivan said, putting away his wand, "From the outside, the other party should be Mr. Barr who said before. Owlman!"

"Oh my God, that terrible monster has just arrived!" The bar owner who just ran up said in amazement.

He was panting violently, looking at the scorched window frame in disbelief, with an expression of extreme horror on his face.

If it was not Ivan who was in the house but another child, then what awaited him would be a murder.

Just like the dead wizard Baal said before, his skin will also be peeled off by the other party.

"I didn't expect such an accident to happen, we shouldn't leave you alone..."

"Don't worry too much, that monster's strength is average, but its body has strong magic resistance and can use magic." Ivan said slowly, "From the situation just now, I don't think it might be a ghost , but a wizard..."

"You mean it was some wizard in disguise?"

"It's not like that. I mean that monster should be a wizard who transformed his body through some kind of magic in order to gain more power, just like what Voldemort did back then, but the transformation was obviously not thorough. " Ivan said in a deep voice, looking up at the surprised Sirius, "Of course, this is just a speculation. To be honest, I suddenly became interested in it. This kind of demonic spell is very rare. It Do you want to merge with the owl?"

For a few seconds, there was silence in the room, and no one spoke.

Sirius, Hagrid, and bar owner Barr all looked at Ivan in a daze, as if they didn't understand what he was saying.

"Okay, Orim is going to check the carriage, we'd better be careful and find a big room to sleep together!" After a long time, Hagrid said worriedly, "The monster Ivan mentioned sounds very uncomfortable, Who knows if it will come back tonight."

"Vigilance is indeed necessary, we are too relaxed!" Sirius said, "Evan, what are you going to do?"

"Well, I'm going to look for it, I can feel that I left magic traces on it, and it hasn't disappeared!" Ivan said, "The magic on that monster is very interesting, and we can help Dijon solve it by the way. This trouble."

"No, Ivan, no!" Hagrid was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "We have to stay and watch the carriage..."

"That's right, Hagrid, you and Madam Maxim should stay, and Sirius and I will go!" Ivan continued, "Don't worry, that monster is not very strong, the two of us are enough to deal with it, More than enough."

For adventure, Sirius has always been particularly irresistible.

After Aiwen said his tracking plan, he didn't object much, but helped Aiwen persuade Hagrid and Madam Maxim.

He has cooperated with Aiwen many times before, and he knows each other's strengths well, so he doesn't worry about encountering any situation that they can't handle.

If that's the case, the two of them could also Apparate away.

After more than ten minutes, under the worried eyes of Hagrid and Madam Maxime, they left the tavern.

Going out from the main entrance, outside is Dijon, which belongs to the Muggles, a small town with unique French flavor.

The bar is located in a lively commercial street, and the lives of Muggles have not been affected by the terrible owl man.

Outside the door, the dim lights reflected the vast night sky, and the floating clouds were like ignited smoke, gently drifting towards where they belonged.

Dijon at night is also adorned with a lot of looks, like a gorgeous lady, starting her nightly performance with various charms.

Here is very French, and like Paris, the romantic capital, Dijon is also a place where romance is easy to generate.

Walking on the street, Ivan and Sirius saw a lot of fashionable young girls greeting them, laughing and laughing like silver bells. Some girls even summoned up the courage to come up and invite them. Just imagine, agreeing to them would be will have a nice night.

Both Aiwen and Sirius are not bad looking, and they are very popular with girls.

And more importantly, the wizard robes they were wearing were too different, and the Muggles around them didn't dress like this at all.

This makes Ivan and Sirius very special, and everyone is guessing what they are doing...

Chapter 738 The Old House and the Curse

"Ivan, how are you going to find that monster?" Sirius asked, looking around vigilantly.

"Of course it's Apparation, and we can't walk. We didn't do that just now because we don't want others to know that I will Apparate." Aiwen said, pulling Sirius to a remote corner with no one there, "Come on, I'm pulling you!"

As soon as his words fell, the two figures disappeared from the spot in an instant, as if they had never appeared in that place.

A few seconds later, two people appeared on a messy and barren grass.

Compared with the bustling commercial district just now, the surroundings are as quiet as death, and the houses on both sides of the street have gloomy faces, looking like they are repelling people thousands of miles away.

Some homes had broken windows that gleamed poorly in the streetlights, many had peeling paint on the doors and several had litter piled on the front steps.

In front of them was a big old house, like the ancestral home of the Black family at No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

"Pure-blood wizard family!" Sirius said disdainfully, staring at a huge statue in the center of the courtyard.

It was a knight, he was holding up the sword in his hand high, and the label below was Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy.

This is the last independent Duke of Burgundy in history, with a prominent reputation, it seems that the owner of the house should be his descendants.

To be honest, this old house looks very uncomfortable, with dirty walls, gloomy windows, and the most creepy thing is the owl statue carved on the outer wall, which maintains weird movements that ordinary people can't imagine, Quietly watching the visitor.

One of the bedrooms on the third floor had a broken window and no one fixed it, it was like the scariest haunted house ever.

It should be the old house of the oldest pure-blood wizard family in Dijon that the bar owner said. Not long ago, its last mistress was found dead in her room, brutally murdered by the terrible owl man.

Aiwen wondered for a while, why did that monster come here, and what does it have to do with this family of pure-blood wizards? !
