Chapter 59 Giant City

Sitting on the head of the fire dragon, Luofu narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man who suddenly appeared.

He has a thin body, an old face covered with wrinkles, like tree bark, and a pair of bright light gray eyes with gray eyebrows hanging above them.

In an instant, not only him, but also Shirley recognized the old man's identity.

Corvinus Gaunt!

Newt and Gunter seemed to be old friends. After seeing him, they immediately put down their hostility and let the Longhorns land back to the ground.

Newt slid off the dragon's back, opened the box again, and let the fire dragon get in. Then he looked at Gunter calmly and frowned:

"Corvinus, why are you here?"

"Looking for the lost city of giants." Gunter did not hide his purpose at all and said calmly:

"You know, I'm very interested in the ancient kingdom of wizards, just like you are interested in those magical creatures.

There may be some ruins of ancient wizards in the City of Giants, so I came to take a look. Of course, this is also the responsibility of my Department of Mysteries."

"Where are these Inferi?"

"This is the Upper Barnton Giant Tribe. Although it has long been abandoned, there are a large number of giant remains buried underground." Gunter explained calmly:

"They are all good laborers, so I made them into Inferi to help me dig the Giant City."

Seeing that Newt's expression was not very good, Gunter deliberately glanced at the broken box in his hand and said with a half-smile:

"What? Newt, you don't want to report me to the Ministry of Magic for using dark magic to create the Inferi, do you? We are old friends for many years, so we don't have to do this, right?"

Newt said nothing, but Rolf and Shirley secretly exchanged a look.

Of course, it is impossible to report him. After all, the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, is equally unclean.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Gunter suddenly laughed and said:

"It seems that my digging disturbed the Fertile Tuyuan, otherwise you wouldn't have come here. This place is indeed very close to there. I didn't think well... I'm sorry."

The old man snapped his fingers, and the vibration and loud noise suddenly disappeared, as if the originally turbulent water calmed down instantly.

Rolf narrowed his eyes and stared at Corvinus Gaunt. The old man seemed to sense it and suddenly turned to look at the young man, showing a kind smile and said:

"Son, how do you think about the deal we discussed last time?"

Last summer, Rove went to the Department of Mysteries to apply for access to the information about Dementors left by Extis.

But he was directly rejected by Gunter, the director of the Department of Mysteries.

However, he did not reject it completely, but instead proposed a plan to let Luo Fe take the basilisk in the secret room in exchange.

Of course, this deal is impossible. After all, the basilisk was identified by Grindelwald as a Horcrux of Slytherin.

And Slytherin was the murderer of Ravenclaw, so of course he couldn't give it to Gunter again!

In fact, Rolf did not take the basilisk away, but let it stay in Nurmengard.

"Rolf, Extis has studied Dementors for hundreds of years and left behind a huge amount of information, which also records his whereabouts." Gunter continued to persuade:

"Also...your grandfather has always wanted to read the notes left by Extis. If you and I exchange, it will not be a loss-making business in any case."

Luofu did not refuse directly, but just smiled perfunctorily:

"I can't bear to part with that basilisk either. I have learned a lot of magic from it. How about you allow me to think about it again, Mr. Gunter?"

"Of course." Gunter reminded with a smile on his face: "But hurry up, I may not be interested in that basilisk after a while."

"Corvinus, since you are looking for the City of Giants." Newt suddenly said: "We won't disturb your work and go back first."

"Hey, Newt...he's already here, why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Gunter said with a kind face and warm invitation:

"Although the Giant City has not been completely excavated, there has been a lot of progress. How about I take you to visit?

This is a lost civilization of giants, not much worse than wizards, goblins and centaurs."

Seeing Newt's wary look, Gunter sighed in a hurt tone:

"Newt, we are old friends who have known each other for many years. Back then, you were almost eaten by a scarab in the Temple of Amun at the ruins of Merloe in Sudan, but I saved you.

The little girl traveling with you is an Obscurus, and it was I who taught you how to peel the Obscurus out of her body."

The old man said sadly:

"Newt, I won't harm you, and we are not enemies anyway, just like back then...right?"

Listening to Gunter's tone, it seemed that Newt and he were not familiar with each other, but Rolf didn't say anything and just looked at Newt silently.

He is just a junior, so he naturally listens to Newt's decision at this time.

Newt was silent for a moment, then looked at Gunter, nodded and said, "Let's go."

Gunter immediately resumed his smile. He gently raised his arm, winked and said, "Hold my sleeve, and I will take you in."

The three of them all grabbed Gaunt's long sleeves. The old man shook his sleeves gracefully. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a strange place.

Luofu looked around and found that he was in a wide tunnel.

The tunnel was dug directly into the mountain. It was more than ten meters high. The ground and both sides were flat and smooth. It extended straight forward along a gentle and constant slope.

Under the leadership of Gunter, they walked to the end of the tunnel and saw a stone door more than twenty meters high. It was hung on its hinges and half-opened, with light coming from the door.

Several people did not look inside the house, but their eyes were attracted to the huge door, because there was a mural engraved on it, and there were also runes engraved on it, but it was very blurry and could no longer be read.

Luofu stared at the painting carefully and saw a man lying naked on the ground with his limbs spread out.

Four little men were lying on him, one of them was beating his crotch with a wooden stick, a four-legged little man was looking at the burning grass, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Button his jewel-like eyes.

The slightly larger man, holding a weapon in his hand, was cutting off the man's head, and most of it had been cut off.

"This door has a history of seven or eight thousand years. It describes the story of human creatures such as wizards, centaurs, goblins and giants, defeating a powerful enemy." Gunter introduced:

"The weapon used to cut the head was designed by the centaurs, the goblins provided the forging process, the giants beat it, and the wizards carved the magic inscriptions... and finally it was successfully forged.

Finally, the giant held his weapon and divided the enemy into five parts."

"The giants passed down the story orally from generation to generation and even made murals."

Gunter looked at Newt and asked with a smile:

"Newt, your Scamander family has lived in the Fertile Plains not far from the City of Giants for generations. Have you... heard this story?"
