Listening to Gunter's description, Rolf looked at the mural with fascination 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 forces used some method to cut the immortal ancient wizard into five parts and then sealed them separately...
It turns out that method is a very powerful weapon.
While the boy was still deep in thought, Newt shook his head and said decisively:
"I have never heard of this story. In fact, when our family settled in Fertile Land, the Giant City had already been lost."
Gunter smiled noncommittally, looked up at the mural, and continued:
"As for the whereabouts of the weapon used by the giant, although there is no evidence, there are also some vague rumors.
For example... it was obtained by goblins and placed in the deepest vault of Gringotts; it was hidden by centaurs and its location was hidden in the ancient stars; or it disappeared along with the Giant City."
"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 hands and said calmly: "No one knows where it is."
"Perhaps it has been destroyed." Luofu interjected.
"This may also exist. After all, that weapon is stained with the blood of that powerful wizard." Gunter glanced sideways at the young man, smiled kindly and said:
"They are all mythical legends anyway. Who really has experienced that era and knows the exact truth?
Even Nico Flamel, who lives the longest now, is only 600 years old. If human history was shortened to one hour, he would not even be able to account for one second."
Gunter laughed and said: "Anyway, I'm just going to say it, you just listen to it."
For a moment, everyone was silent. Gunter walked towards the huge door. He walked in along the opening of the stone door, half of his body disappeared inside, and turned around and said:
"Let me show you around this room. I dug for a long time before opening this door."
Gunter disappeared behind the door, followed by the three men.
The first thing Luo Fe felt when he entered the room was that it was stuffy. The room was like a huge stove, making people's whole body feel hot.
He looked up again and saw a square hall that was a hundred feet high, with two rows of stone pillars towering in the center, carved into the shape of giant tree trunks, supporting the ceiling.
A brilliant starry sky is painted on the ceiling, with different line drawings superimposed on it to show various celestial phenomena.
"This is the winter palace of the Giant City. The geothermal energy source is constantly coming up from the ground, so the royal family among the giants will live in it during the winter."
Gunter walked forward, his footsteps disturbing the thick dust on the floor, and he reminded:
"Watch your step, there are giant remains everywhere."
Rolf looked down and saw a pile of huge skulls lying on the dead floor, looking as if they had been dead for thousands of years.
After several people walked for a long time, they reached the end of the room. On top of the steps, there was a huge chair, sitting on it was an extremely huge withered white corpse, with empty eye sockets, as if it was overlooking everyone.
"The person sitting on the chair is Andal VI, the last king of the Giant City, and the skeletons on the ground are also from the royal family.
Their deaths led to the direct closure of the Giant City, and the splendid civilization of the Giants was completely lost in the long river of history."
"How did they die?" Rove asked.
"Very good question." A slight smile appeared on Gunter's face:
"When I was excavating this giant city, I roughly pieced together a terrible truth. These giants were killed by Andal VI.
He tricked these giants into the Winter Palace, locked the door, and made them kill each other. In the end, Andal VI also died here."
"Is it hard to believe this statement?" Gunter turned around, looked at the three of them, and sighed:
"But cruelty, bloodthirsty and cannibalism are inherent in the nature of giants. Otherwise, this race, which once had a great civilization, would not be on the verge of extinction."
Gunter thought to himself and said:
"As for why giants like to kill each other so much, it is said that it is caused by incest marriages. The number of giants is rare. Brothers and sisters often marry between close relatives, which leads to some extreme personalities."
"Of course, there is another rumor..."
The old man paused and said in an old voice:
"In that war, the giant finally dismembered the powerful enemy with his own hands, and the blood spattered on him... causing the giant race to be cursed forever.
That is, they will always kill each other until the entire group is destroyed."
Hearing the word curse, Luofu narrowed his eyes very sensitively and subconsciously.
He knew that the wizard had a blood curse, but he didn't expect that the giant also carried a terrible curse.
From this point of view, the cost of sealing the ancient wizard was really heavy.
"Corvinus, I think we should go back." Newt suddenly said: "Tina is still waiting for us at home. If we don't go back, she should be anxious."
"Well, I have indeed delayed you for a long time." Gunter said with an apologetic smile: "I will take you out right now."
The old man raised his arm again, and the three of them gently held it and returned to the ground.
Newt quickly opened his box and prepared to summon the fire dragon, while Gunter walked up to Rolf, looked at him, and said with a smile on his face:
"Rolf, I must apologize to you about the time turner.
I didn't expect that my silent man, Thor Crocker, would be controlled by Peter Pettigrew with the Imperius Curse, causing you a lot of trouble. This was an oversight on my part as the Director of the Department of Mysteries."
"Mr. Gunter, the trouble has been solved." Rove said calmly: "But the time converter has exploded."
"Just explode, it's just a time turner." Gunter didn't care, he invited:
"Child, I see that you seem to be fascinated by giants? Are you interested in working in my Department of Mysteries? I also have a lot of information and information here for you to browse."
Rolf was very surprised that Gaunt would invite him to be the Silent Man. After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head and refused:
"After I graduate, I still want to be a magizoologist."
Gunter burst into laughter, "I asked your grandfather this way back then, and his reasons for rejecting me were exactly the same as yours, you Scamander."
"Goodbye, young Mr. Scamander and Miss Swinton."
Gunter looked at Rolf, then at Shirley, and finally said with a bright smile:
