Chapter 695: Death Eater's Decision

Chapter 695 The Death Eaters’ Decision

After resolving the giant's crisis, Kyle and others did not leave here immediately, but prepared to follow the giant on a trip to their tribe.

But before setting off, Kyle looked at the Death Eaters on the ground and asked, "What should he do? Take it with him?"

 “Leave it to me.” Hagrid took out a round mirror, walked to the side and whispered something to it.

To be honest, the mirror was not that big, just like the ones girls carry with them. When Hagrid held it, it was like holding a piece of freshly baked corn chips, as if he might throw it away at any time. Crushed.

 Fortunately, this did not happen.

 After a while, two small black dots fell from the sky and arrived in front of several people almost in the blink of an eye.

Sirius and Lupine staggered to the ground.

"Hello, Mr. Scamander, Ms. Maxime." Lupine threw a stone in his hand aside. They had just used this door key to get here, but it was of no use now.

 “Oh, and Kyle, Hagrid, long time no see.”

"Long time no see, Remus," said Hagrid. "I was worried that the mirror didn't work."

"I have always been guarding a double-sided mirror." Lu Ping also took out a round mirror and said with a smile, "As long as you call my name, I can hear it immediately. How about it? I haven't met you yet." What's the danger?"

 “Fortunately, everything has been solved.” Hagrid said.

 Then he briefly explained what had just happened... Mainly because when he arrived here, the entire valley had been wrapped in thick fog, and he saw nothing in more detail as he passed by.

While they were talking, Sirius on the other side had also discovered the Death Eater lying on the ground. He walked over, and when he saw the other person's appearance, he suddenly froze on the spot.

 It wasn’t until someone tapped him on the shoulder that he came back to his senses.

 “What’s wrong?” Lupine asked.

"Ah, it's nothing." Sirius shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the Death Eater, "Do you know who he is?"

 “Lestrange?” Lupine looked over and said with some surprise.

Although he had just heard the news from Hagrid, now he had a different feeling after seeing it with his own eyes.

 Because the other party is an old acquaintance of theirs, and they had many contacts with each other more than ten years ago.

"Yes, Lestrange." Sirius shook his head, "Remember when he was in school? He looked so high-spirited."

"Of course I remember, Slytherin's man of the hour was also a prefect and the president of the Boys' Student Union." Lupine said, "It's a pity that he later turned to the mysterious man."

"Why, do you know him?" At this time, Kyle said with some curiosity: "Normally you wouldn't be so sentimental about a dead Death Eater."

"Sentimental? How is that possible!" Sirius shook his head, "It's just that we had a lot of interactions when we were in school, and he is also the husband of my cousin Bellatrix, so he is a relative."

"Ah, sorry." Hagrid said subconsciously: "I didn't mean to..."

"What stupid things are you talking about, Hagrid." Sirius glanced at him, "He is a Death Eater, why are you sorry? Even if I were here, I would definitely kill him.

“And speaking of relatives, our pure-blood families are more or less related to each other. I’m not familiar with him.”

“Aren’t you still inmates?” Kyle whispered beside him.

Sirius was stunned for a moment, then turned back and glared at Kyle angrily.

"Okay, you're right." He muttered: "Lestrange was next door to me at the time, and he even said he wanted to kill me, but a month later he couldn't say anything. Out comes... this idiot."

While he was speaking, Lupine had already picked up Lestrange.

"We have to go, Alastor and the others are still waiting." He took out another stone from his pocket and said.

 “So fast?”

"Don't forget, portkeys have their time..." Lupine said. "We can't help you here."

"Okay then." Sirius put his hand on the stone, "Do you want to go back together? We can go together."

"No," Newt said, "We have other things to do, and we can't go back yet."

 “If anything happens, we’ll contact you at any time.” Lu Ping waved his hand.

 After saying that, the two disappeared again.

 Then, Kyle and his party prepared to visit the giant tribe.

 According to Newt, they had to make sure there was really nothing wrong with the giant.

 “But is this really okay?”

The group of people walked in the direction where the giant left, and Kyle asked with some worry: "We just stopped the giant from joining the mysterious man, and the Death Eaters who came here were also killed and injured. In case the mysterious man is not popular, come in person What to do here, we are no match for him."

“Don’t worry, the mysterious man won’t come.” Newt shook his head and said:

“Before setting off, Dumbledore said that the mysterious man looked down upon all magical animals and would not sincerely treat the Death Eaters who followed him, but only used them as tools.

"He will be angry for sure, but it will only be because the order he gave has not been completed. He will not change his original plan and personally avenge them."

"And even if he comes, we have a way to deal with it." Newt said confidently.

Seeing this, Kyle said nothing more and just walked forward along with the other three people, following the huge footprints on the ground.

The giant tribe was further away than he thought, and the footprints continued straight ahead, with no edge visible.

After walking for about a whole day, they finally came to a more secluded valley, which should be the middle of the mountain range.

And for some unknown reason, the chirping of insects and birds that had never stopped along the way had all disappeared without realizing it. It seemed that there was something terrible that made them reluctant to come close to this place.

 Led by Newt, several people came to a hillside and looked down from a distance.

 Below is a valley surrounded by huge caves dug by humans.

 The giants they had seen before were gathering in front of the cave and fighting fiercely.

"This is choosing a new Gogo." Newt said: "The giants will choose the most powerful one to be their leader. The easiest way is this kind of melee."

“It’s almost the same as a fire dragon.” Kyle whispered.

 Have they seen a similar situation before when they were in the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary?

"It's almost the same." Newt nodded, "Or most magical animals will use this method to select the most suitable leader, and giants and fire dragons are no exception."

  While they were talking, the valley was gradually dyed red with blood.

That is the blood of giants, spreading out like a fountain, dyeing every stone red.

“I don’t know how many of them will be left after the new Gugo is selected this time.” There was something strange in Maxim’s voice.

"Don't worry..." Newt shook his head. "Although the giants would kill their predecessor Gugo to determine the identity of their new leader, this situation is different now. In order not to lose too much combat power, they will not kill their opponents. …Oh, look.”

Newt pointed to the valley below.

Following the direction of his finger, Kyle saw a relatively thinner giant knocked to the ground with one punch. However, his opponent did not take the opportunity to kill him, but immediately found a new opponent for himself.

At the same time, the fallen giant did not continue to participate in the battle after getting up, but consciously came to the side.

There are also some shorter or thinner giants there who are not qualified to participate in the war at all.

"You see." Newt continued: "In a situation like this, falling to the ground means failure. The last giant standing will become the new Gogo until the next challenger appears."

Kyle looked at it for a while longer.

 Sure enough, every giant who fell to the ground would voluntarily withdraw from the battlefield.

Just like the previous time in the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary, the battle between the giants was also a long process.

After quickly eliminating several of the weakest competitors, the remaining giants entered a tug-of-war.

Keir and the others have been on the mountain for a whole week, and the battle is not over yet.

Kyle, who was enthusiastic at first, was a little bored at this time.

The battle between the giants is back and forth with just a few tactics. You punch me and I'll kick you back. The excitement of punching to the flesh is really interesting when you watch it for the first time, but it becomes a bit boring after watching it for seven days. .

But the good news is that they did not see Voldemort or Death Eaters during this time.

As Newt said, Voldemort didn't seem to have any intention of avenging Lestrange... No, to be precise, he didn't mean to cause trouble for them.

“Death Eaters attacked St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries…”

 This morning, when Kyle walked out of the tent, he happened to see Hagrid talking to Lupine through a double-sided mirror.

 Because owls will reveal their location, they have been using this method to learn about the situation outside during this period.

“Death Eaters attacked St. Mungo’s?” Hearing what Lupine said, Hagrid couldn’t help shouting: “How dare they!”

"In fact, they did do this." Lupine said, "The good news is that they attacked with purpose, and most people were not attacked as a result..."

 At this time, Kyle also walked over and looked into the double-sided mirror.

"Oh, Kyle." Lupine greeted, "How are you there? You didn't encounter any danger."

 “Of course not,” Kyle said. "By the way, the Death Eaters' sneak attack on St. Mungo's was probably for the Longbottoms..."

 “No, it’s not…”

 Lupine's voice was a little strange, as if he wanted to laugh, but he held it back.

 “For Umbridge,” he said.

 “What?” Hagrid picked his ears, “Who are you talking about?”

"Dolores Umbridge," Lupine said again, "the Death Eaters raided her ward and tortured her again in front of everyone."

"ah?"

Hagrid's expression became even more confused, "But why, that Umbridge is not a member of the Order of the Phoenix."

"But she is from the Ministry of Magic and is also a well-known anti-dark magic person. Especially some time ago, her name often appeared in newspapers."

 The Death Eaters also said..." Lupine paused suddenly, as if he was trying to calm down his emotions, and after a moment he pretended to be nonchalant and continued:

"The Death Eaters also said that this is the consequence of opposing the Dark Lord. They wanted Umbridge to say in front of everyone that the people in the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix are useless and can never defeat the Dark Lord."

 “Did Umbridge say it?” Hagrid asked anxiously.

"...No." Lu Ping's expression became even more strange.

"That's okay." Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that I was wrong before. I didn't expect that she is still a tough guy... If she says that in front of everyone, then we will lose face." ”

"Hagrid..." Kyle patted his arm and said, "What do you think Death Eaters usually use when they want to torture people?"

“Of course it’s the Cruciatus Curse.” Hagrid said without thinking, waving his arms fiercely, “Those bastards, they have tortured members of the Order of the Phoenix in this way before.”

“That’s the crux of the matter,” Kyle said. “Do you think a person who is suffering from the Cruciatus Curse can say anything?”

"Ah? Can't you?" Hagrid was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "I have been hit by the Cruciatus Curse before. Although the feeling was very painful, it was just like that. It was not to the point where I could not speak. ah…"

"Don't forget that you are a hybrid giant." Kyle rubbed his forehead and said, "The blood of the giant gives you extraordinary resistance to curses, but ordinary wizards do not have this advantage."

 “Oh.” Hagrid nodded as if he understood.

However, Kyle didn't explain that much. He looked at Lupine in the double-sided mirror, preparing to ask for more detailed information.

 But at this moment, Newt’s voice came from not far away.

 “The winner is finally coming.”

 After hearing what he said, Kyle stopped talking to Lupin and ran over quickly.

At this time, the valley had completely turned into a dark red color. Even from such a distance, Kyle could smell the smell of blood in the air.

There were only two giants standing there staggeringly in the valley. When Kyle passed by, they just raised their fists at the same time and hit each other hard in the face.

 There is no skill, just a pure collision of strength.

 After a moment, the giant on the left swayed, and his huge body fell to the ground.

"boom!"

The giant on the right raised his head and let out a deafening roar.

At the same time, the giants in the cave came out one after another and knelt before him to express their submission.

“Looks like he’s the new Gogo,” Newt said. "Just wait for me."

With that said, he disappeared and appeared not far from the giant.

The giants who were kneeling on the ground immediately stood up alertly.

Because the distance was too far, Kyle couldn't hear what they said. He only saw Newtpin stretching out his arms, lowering his head, and slowly walking forward with a weird pace, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right. .

The giants gradually relaxed their vigilance and just surrounded their new Gogo.

"Are we going to help?" Hagrid asked nervously: "The distance is too close. If they swarm up, Mr. Scamander will be in danger."

“Ah, don’t worry.” Kyle waved his hand and said after looking at it for a while.

 He knew that this was Newt's unique way of getting along with magical animals.

 He would not go to see the giant alone if he was not completely sure.

Moreover, the roars of the giants were not as violent and threatening as they were at the beginning. It was obvious that Newt had succeeded.

 In this way, the rest is much simpler, Newt has rich experience.

They can't help much now and in the past, they can only intensify conflicts.

"amazing…"

Maxim on the side sighed: "Although I have known for a long time that Mr. Scamander has extraordinary abilities with magical animals, seeing it with my own eyes is still shocking.

“The giant tribe just elected Gu Ge, but when he was most nervous and irritable, he was able to gain their trust so easily.”

  She thought of the time when she and Hagrid had come here before.

They are of giant descent, but even so, they kept a low profile and gave gifts. It took a long time before they finally got the chance to meet Gu Ge.

 As a result, Newt can now complete it in minutes, and the difficulty is much higher than it was back then.

Either you are a professional, the gap is too big, it’s like a gap with no edge, and you can’t even catch up with your innate advantages.

After stopping Hagrid, Kyle was ready to continue asking Lupine about the situation in the magical world, but the other party seemed to have other things and had disappeared from the double-sided mirror.
