"Dumbledore!"
When Hagrid put down the gublesian fire and said his intention, the lazy and arrogant giant Guge brightened his eyes and repeated the name.
Guge didn't know English, but the name impressed him. Because the territory they are now in is what Dumbledore won for them.
Dumbledore was an unforgettable man for the remaining giants.
The giant goog looked at Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim. He hardly noticed Maka standing aside. Then he shouted something in the giant language that sounded crude.
Before long, two big guys who looked a little old came out of the giant group behind Maka. They walked past Maka and his party with heavy steps and stood around giant Guge.
"Dumbledore, to kakus guggo, gifts?" one of the older giants asked in unskilled English.
Hagrid answered quickly, and then introduced them to the torch burning the gublesin fire. When the two old giants almost understood, they turned around and explained to their ancient Ge Ge Ge.
At this time, in fact, the giants behind Maka had gathered behind him. When they heard the two old giants explain the "eternal fire", almost the whole tribe was excited.
Even the giant gugocacus seemed very happy. He sat up, grabbed the torch inserted by Hagrid on the ground and held out his fingers.
The blue and white flame was lifted up by his fingers like a ribbon, but in the next moment, it gathered back to the top of the torch.
So, even when kakus gave out a burst of happy laughter, the thunder like sound immediately exploded in the ears of Maka and other three people, and even their feet felt a vibration.
Because the laughter was so loud that Maka couldn't help grinning.
Fire has always been the favorite thing of the giants. Although they learned how to make fire from the wizards who hired them to participate in the war as early as the middle ages, before that, their flames were given by nature.
The importance of fire in their hearts is almost regarded as their ancestors.
When they learned to make fire, fire gradually evolved into their belief and obsession. This eternal fire sent by Hagrid is undoubtedly the most sacred gift.
A flame that won't go out. What a beautiful thing! Although the flame has no temperature at all.
Hagrid lost no time in speaking while the laughter of the giant gugocacus paused. Of course, he mainly said to the two older giants
"Albus Dumbledore said that tomorrow, the messenger will bring gifts again. Please talk to the messenger."
With that, Hagrid, Mrs. Maxim and Maka bowed and planned to retreat first according to the original plan.
No way, that's what you have to do with the giants. Giants are very impatient creatures. If they talk too much, they will find it hard to listen to you and simply kill you.
This is their nature, and even Dumbledore himself will not change much.
However, the original three thought they were very successful in offering gifts and goodwill, but there were unexpected defections.
"Wait!"
Before they stepped back, the old giant behind kakus Guge stopped them with a word.
When Maka heard the speech, they had only one meal under their feet and stood where they were.
Just then, kakus Guge looked at the torch in his hand reluctantly, and then reinserted it on the ground in front of Maka and others in their confused eyes.
"Kakus GUGO said we must refuse."
The old giant who said this also stared at the torch and showed a reluctant look.
"Why?" Hagrid asked in surprise.
This time, without kakus saying it first, the old giant immediately replied, "other wizards have given Guge more and better gifts... Refuse Dumbledore!"
As he spoke, he drew a circle on his chest to indicate that they had received "so many" gifts. But after that, he stared at the torch on the ground reluctantly again.
Although it did seem a little funny, Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim couldn't laugh at all.
"Voldemort again?"
Maka thought of the almost inevitable answer in an instant.
It is absolutely right to say that giants are all one track minded and dead brains. Maka can be sure that they didn't refuse the readily available gift because of their loyalty to the agreement.
The reason why kakus refused was mostly that the messenger sent by Voldemort clearly mentioned that "accepting a gift is tantamount to rejecting Dumbledore's gift".
This is difficult to explain from the perspective of wizards and even Muggles, but it will only become this result in the giant's mind.
Now, if kakus doesn't accept Dumbledore's gift, he can't make any representations. Because in the idea of giants, gifts are equal to employment.
This simple and crude equation is actually taught by medieval wizards after a lot of trouble.
"What should I do?"
Hagrid has a deep understanding of giants, especially after Dumbledore's reminder, he understands that it is difficult to communicate with giants, which is actually far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
When he turned around and looked at Mrs. Maxim and Marca, the giants around him had become a little impatient.
"I don't know what to do... Is this a broken negotiation? No, it hasn't started yet!" Mrs. Maxim frowned. "Why don't we leave with the fairy fire first?"
Almost as Maxim spoke, Hagrid suddenly felt his legs tighten, and then he found that the whole world had turned upside down.
He reluctantly turned his head and finally found the reason - the giant who had stood beside kakus from the beginning crazily hung him upside down with his legs.
Even a man as big as Hagrid is as weak as a child around a real giant.
"Oh, roar -"
The giant roared wildly at Hagrid, and then tried to throw him out. Mrs. Maxim had even pulled out her new wand.
In this extremely urgent moment, Maka patted Mrs. Maxim's hand, then took a decisive step and raised the torch on the ground again.
"Marca McLean!"
His cry had been amplified, and the loud voice immediately sounded in every giant's ear.
Of course, the reason why he only reported his name was that he didn't want to say anything at all.
After all, Hagrid was now in someone's hand and was about to be thrown out. For such a moment, he had no time to say anything, and even if he did, the giant probably didn't understand, did he?
Maka did this just to get the giant's attention first.
In fact, he did succeed. When his name sounded in the giant's ear, the other party subconsciously stopped and looked down at him.
Seeing that his stop had taken effect, Maka said in a brilliant voice, "Maka McLean, present a gift to kakus GUGO and pay tribute."
This sentence is as like as two peas before Hagrid. The only difference is that he changed Dumbledore's name to himself.
There is no doubt that this is a stupid way to change the concept. But to deal with these "big fools" in front of us, this stupid word is enough to produce miraculous effects.
"Oh -"
When the two old giants around kakus heard the speech, they immediately brightened up, as if they had heard some wise words, and told kakus Guge happily.
Don't wait for kakus to speak, or even look at kakus's expression. When Maka saw the eyes of the two old giants shining, he knew that his "stupid way" had been completely successful.
If the young giants are "stupid", the two old giants can be said to be relatively "stupid".
Even if a race with an IQ arrears such as a giant gets older and has more experience, it will actually become a little smarter.
This is what Maka thought of when she recalled that the two old giants refused according to kakus's decision more than once.
In the giant family, Guge's decision must be listened to. Unless other giants challenge, what should be listened to still has to be listened to.
Although the two old giants listened, they did not seem completely sure of kakus's decision, which was enough to prove Maka's conjecture.
"Maga Ryan, OK!"
When the giant gugocacus changed the name of Maka himself, he immediately pulled out the torch on the ground again and played with it.
"Marca McLean, tomorrow, bring gifts and talk to kakus goog."
Although it has gone through some twists and turns that make people turn their eyes, today's goal has been achieved after all.
When the giant carrying Hagrid threw him away and looked enviously at the torch, Maka immediately said what to the old giant, and then pulled Hagrid and Mrs. maxim, who had not yet recovered, back out of the valley.
……
"Marca, you really have it! Just fooled those giants!"
When the three returned to the back of the ridge, Hagrid rubbed his almost unbroken waist and praised the witty Maka with great excitement.
Even Mrs. maxim, who has always paid attention to maintaining elegance, couldn't help praising her.
"Don't be happy too early. Tomorrow is the real trouble!"
When they talked happily in turn, Maka poured a basin of cold water on them.
