MTL - Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard-Chapter 692 crisis of giants

Chapter 692 Giant Crisis

Early the next morning, Fred and George didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and angrily fought back to the village of St. Catchpole.

 But they did not see Kyle as they wished.

 “What, he went out?”

“Yes, just ten minutes ago,” Chris said. “Mr. Scamander thought it was time for Kyle to go out and experience things, so he took him out during this vacation.”

 He opened the door and let the two of them in, "You probably haven't had breakfast yet."

 “No need, we...”

Before Fred could say anything, he smelled a very special aroma, which seemed to be grilled steak, but also had an indescribable fragrance, like morning dew or freshly picked fruit.

 The two of them walked into the house unconsciously as if their noses were grabbed by something.

Chris smiled and waved his magic wand, and two steaming and fragrant steaks floated out of the kitchen and landed on the empty plates on the dining table.

 “The hind legs of the giant horn are also the favorite food of the black dragons of the Heshidry Islands.”

Chris smiled and said: "This kind of creature does not exist in the UK. Mr. Scamander brought it here specially. Try it and see how it goes."

"Then we're not welcome." Fred and George sat on the table and couldn't help but cut a piece of meat and put it in their mouths.

 It is indeed delicious, not to mention the Hesidian Black Dragon, they also like it.

 Almost in the blink of an eye, half the steak disappeared.

"What are we doing here..." Fred always felt that he should ask something, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back together with the steak.

 Forget it, never mind, let’s eat first...

 …

At the same time, Kyle had followed Newt to an inaccessible place, surrounded by mountains, and they were on the top of one of the mountains.

"In the south of Romania..." Newt pointed in the direction directly opposite them. "Going straight ahead from here is Bulgaria. I have walked this road several times and remember it clearly."

Kyle glanced at him and said slowly: "So this must not be an officially marked road, right?"

“At least the door key we used was obtained through formal means.”

Newt casually put a brooch into his pocket and said with some sigh: "This is really good. I went through a lot of effort to get certain door keys. I even received fake ones. I spent a lot of Galleons, but the destination was somewhere else."

Kyle knew that he was talking about his experience of sending magical animals around the world decades ago, so he couldn't help but asked curiously: "What happened to the person who sold you the fake goods? Didn't you go find him?"

“Of course I looked for it, but couldn’t find it,” Newt said. “That’s normal. After all, it’s illegal to resell door keys. They never stay in the same place for too long.

“But I heard that that person seemed to have done something and one day suddenly became a hero in their country.”

Kyle tried to keep a straight face... Selling fake goods and becoming a national hero is rare even in the wizarding world... But if it is a portkey and it happens to Newt, it doesn't seem so puzzling.

 After all, he has saved his country from a disaster...it is just a title of hero, not too much.

“How did you know that?” Kyle continued to ask: “Did he write to you?”

"No, I heard about it from other people who resold door keys, and he seemed to have returned the Galleons to me...I dare say the owl that sent the Galleons had been flying for at least a month, and it had already been there when it found me. He is so thin that he is just skin and bones, what a pitiful little guy.”

Newt didn’t seem to want to discuss too much about his experiences when he was young. He looked around as if he was looking for someone...

"Strange, Dumbledore said that the person responsible for picking us up is nearby, and said that we can recognize her at a glance... Where is she?"

"It seems that you are the ones I'm waiting for." At this time, a deep voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Newt turned around first, then raised his head to see the other person's full view.

Ms. Maxime of Beauxbatons...the person's height of nearly ten feet is simply too recognizable.

 “Oh, what an amazing Disillusionment Spell.”

“Although I really want to accept your compliment, I actually used an illusion spell, and the real me is actually in another place.”

Ms. Maxim smiled and said: "I'm afraid there is no one in the entire magic world who is better at the Disembodiment Spell than you. If I use this magic, I will definitely be discovered."

 Newt smiled but said nothing.

At this time, Kyle also noticed something like a mirror hidden under Ms. Maxim’s feet, but because it was hidden in the pile of leaves, they didn’t notice it just now.

 A moment later, with a slight explosion, the real Ms. Maxim arrived. She stretched out her hand and said:

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Scamander, your work has always been Beauxbatons’ most important textbook.”

 “It’s my pleasure.” Newt also extended his hand.

 “And you Kyle, I’m glad we meet again.”

“Me too, Ms. Maxim,” Kyle said with a smile.

“I heard that you have done a lot of great things this year, and you were even hired by the British Ministry of Magic as an exception?”

“It’s just a little fight, no big deal,” Kyle said.

"You are too modest..." Ms. Maxim shook her head, "Under normal circumstances, the French Ministry of Magic will not hire a sixth-grade student, and I believe it is the same with you."

"I really regret not knocking you out and taking you away." She said half-jokingly: "But now your identity is different, if you do this again, it will become an international dispute."

Kyle twitched his lips and quickly changed the subject: "What on earth are we here to do?"

“Oh, you didn’t know?” Ms. Maxim looked at Newt with interest, “Didn’t you tell him?”

"I forgot." Newt patted his head, "Well, it's not too late to say it now. We came out this time mainly because of the giant."

"Giant?" Kyle suddenly understood. No wonder the person responsible for picking them up was Ms. Maxim. He just didn't know why Hagrid didn't come.

“Tell me about the current situation,” Newt said.

"It's a little tricky." Ms. Maxim's voice became much deeper. "I've been paying attention to their movements recently. Their Gogo Googoma has completely turned to the side of the Death Eaters. Recently, he is leading the migration of the tribe. , from a direction perspective, the destination is the UK.”

 “Have you already started taking action?” Newt frowned, “How come it’s so fast?”

“Because of the Death Eaters,” Ms. Maxim said, “yesterday a black-robed wizard went to Gao Gaoma’s cave, and they began to move at night.”

"They must be stopped." Newt said solemnly: "Otherwise, the Muggle villages along the way will suffer."

“One has already been destroyed.” Ms. Maxim shook her head and sighed: “As soon as Hagrid and I moved away the Muggles, dozens of giants trampled the village.”

Hearing this, Newt didn’t waste any more time and immediately prepared to rush over.

 But Ms. Maxim told him not to be too anxious.

"We have already seen it. There is no second village on their path in a short period of time, and Hagrid is also watching. If anything happens, he will contact me as soon as possible."

"No, you are wrong." Newt said seriously: "Giants are cruel in nature. They will take the initiative to find and approach places with life activities instead of following the shortest path."

Ms. Maxim did not doubt the authenticity of Newt’s words. If there was anyone who knew giants better than her, then the person in front of her must be one, so she immediately accelerated her pace.

 “Come with me, they are not far away…”

On the way, Newt looked at Kyle, who was still very confused, and asked, "Are you wondering why you came here?" "Yes." Kyle nodded.

 It stands to reason that if Newt wanted to find help, his father Chris would definitely be the first choice. This is what they did before.

"That's because Chris is too conspicuous." Newt said. "If he suddenly disappears from the Ministry of Magic, the Death Eaters will probably guess that we are going to take action against the giants, and they may send more people over, including others. The same goes for members of the Order of the Phoenix.

"But you are different. Your goal is relatively not that big. Even if you leave for a while, it will not attract the attention of the Death Eaters."

 …It’s just that you’re inconspicuous?

Kyle curled his lips. Although he was right to say so, he still felt a little unhappy in his heart.

 Who are you looking down on...

However, Kyle quickly thought of another thing and asked quickly: "But when you were at the station yesterday, many people should have seen you. Is that okay?"

"Of course not." Newt said with a smile, "In fact, the British "I" was already heading towards the Black Forest at this time."

 “Black Forest?”

"That's where the werewolves were last seen," Newt said. "While their problems are equally troublesome, the giants are more troublesome."

“And this time, helping you is not the most important thing. In fact, having Ms. Maxim and Hagrid here is enough.”

 “What’s that for?” Kyle asked puzzledly.

"The main thing is to let you adapt to the war in advance." Newt said, "We actually discussed it together and agreed that it is necessary to adapt in advance before the real war comes, and Chris also agreed."

 “My mother also agreed?” Kyle asked subconsciously.

For some unknown reason, Newt did not answer this question, but changed the subject abruptly: "In fact, what you are doing now is what Chris and Diana did back then...

“Fighting against giants, trolls, and werewolves... they kept most of the dark creatures out of the battlefield. Otherwise, the outcome of the last war would have been much more tragic than now.”

"That's right." Ms. Maxim at the front said seriously: "In war, dark creatures can play a much greater role than usual... Oh, here we are."

As he was speaking, another huge figure suddenly jumped out from the side. He was also holding a huge stone bow with full strings in his hand.

"It's us, Hagrid, don't be nervous..."

Hagrid released the bowstring in his hand only after seeing the person clearly.

"I'm sorry, Olim." Hagrid said, and then he asked: "Has the person Professor Dumbledore mentioned arrived?"

 “Already arrived.” Ms. Maxim turned sideways, revealing the two people behind her.

“Mr. Scamander, I knew it was you, and Kyle...

 “Hmm? Wait...”

Hagrid was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, "Kyle, why are you here? Did you follow me here secretly? Go back!"

"No, Hagrid," Newt said, "I brought Kyle, and Dumbledore agreed."

"What?" Hagrid said with some disbelief, "But he is still a student... Are all the members of the Order of the Phoenix dead? He actually let a student who has not graduated yet come to such a dangerous place. Giants are not trolls. They are bigger than Most Death Eaters are far more dangerous."

"Of course I know this," Newt said, "but our purpose this time is not to kill all the giants, and with us here, Kyle will not be in any danger."

 When saying this, Newt acted very calmly and confidently.

Hagrid hesitated for a while, but finally said nothing. He just looked at Kyle and reminded: "Okay, but you must follow me closely later and don't run around."

Kyle naturally agreed.

 “Hagrid, where are they?” Maxim asked.

"It's over there." Hagrid pointed to a valley not far away, "Because there are Death Eaters following me, I didn't dare to get too close, but it's the same here."

 The three of them looked in the direction of his finger.

Just like Hagrid said, you don’t need to get close to observe the movements of the giants... because they are so conspicuous.

 Dozens of giants moving together can be seen clearly even from several miles away.

In the distant valley, a group of giants were advancing at an incredible speed. They seemed to be moving slowly, but each of their steps was very large, so the real situation was much faster.

"What should we do?" Hagrid asked: "Last time when we came here with Olim, we had already broken down. Giant Gugo doesn't trust us. If we see him again, he will definitely fight. This is our point. Humans are no match for so many giants.”

"We don't need to deal with all the giants." Newt stood on the top of the mountain and observed for a while, and said seriously: "Some of those giants seem to be unwilling."

"That's right." Hagrid nodded, "About half of the giants are dissatisfied with Gao Gaoma's rule and don't want to go against the wizards, but they are small and can't resist at all."

"This is much easier." Newt thought for a moment, "As long as we can find a way to get rid of the giant Gugo, then they will have to return to the group and choose a new Gugo.

“As long as Shingogo refuses to cooperate with the Death Eaters, this giant crisis will be solved.”

"This is not easy. He is at least twenty feet tall." Maxim said worriedly: "And the giants all move together, and we can't separate them. If we want to kill him, we must deal with all of them." Giants."

“Got to give it a try,” Newt said, then looked at Kyle, “Do you have a suitcase with you?”

 “Of course,” Kyle said.

Since he is traveling far away, how could he not bring his own suitcase?

"Okay." Newt also took out a box and said meaningfully: "Giants and fire dragons are naturally hostile, and the flames spewed by fire dragons are also the thing they hate the most. If they want to cause chaos in the giant tribe, this is the most dangerous thing. Good idea."

 “I understand.” Kyle nodded and also took out a box.

Then, in Ms. Maxim’s disbelieving eyes, two huge adult fire dragons appeared in front of her out of thin air.

"Oh, Merlin..." She stared at the two behemoths in front of her with dumbfounded eyes, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Hagrid, on the other hand, was just the opposite. His eyes were full of intoxication, and he even wanted to step forward and touch the scales that sparkled in the sun.

“The Hungarian Horntail, and the Norwegian Thornback…No, Noble?”

Hagrid was suddenly stunned. He always felt that the Norwegian Spinosaurus in front of him looked too familiar.

 And what responded to him was a breath full of joy.

Obviously, Norbert also recognized Hagrid and said hello out of habit.

 But it seems to have forgotten that its body shape is no longer the same as before.

　　When it greeted Hagrid before, it could only spit out a small flame, but now...

Two scorching pillars of fire fell from the sky. Fortunately, Maxim had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stretched out his leg in time and kicked Hagrid to the side.

 “You’re crazy, Hagrid.” She frowned and shouted, “This is a fire dragon!”

"Oh, it's okay, Olim." Hagrid dusted off the dust and got up from the ground. "This is the fire dragon I hatched. I think it didn't mean any harm. It was just too excited to see me and didn't pay attention for a moment."

 “Oh…it still remembers me, little Norbert.” Hagrid said happily.
