Chapter 738

"Professor Hagrid, what's the matter? Why..."

"Shh -"

Being dragged into the hunting house, Ernst was naturally confused, because he didn't know what had happened. Why did the other party still talk happily with the old man before, but now he looks nervous again.

However, Hagrid obviously did not intend to give an explanation immediately.

"Hide inside and don't come out no matter what you hear. Don't make any noise yourself."

After a hasty order that lowered his voice, Ernst was pushed into the cabin like a puppet by Hagrid, and then pulled up the old curtain hanging nearby.

Seriously, Hagrid's movements were so fast that Ernst couldn't react from beginning to end. When he recovered, all that was left was the Striped curtain that was still swinging slightly.

After a while, he heard a similar chat outside, but the topic was changed to "just now there seemed to be several owls flying outside", which was obviously used to cover up.

Since Hagrid had thrown him here, Ernst had to stay here and see what happened first. At least as far as Hagrid's decisive action is concerned, the other party should know more about the current situation than he did.

With this thought, Ernst had the spare power to look around.

This room, which looks like a warehouse, is surrounded by all kinds of sundries, which makes it quite narrow and crowded. But in fact, this is the only place in the hunting ground cabin with enough available space.

Because, in one corner of the room, a strip-shaped open space was specially vacated. And there, there is a "special extended version" of the humble bed.

Needless to say, this is where Hagrid sleeps every night.

Ernst subconsciously walked over and touched it. He found that the bed was made of stones. In addition to some dry straw padded on the top, there is only a sheet made of cloth pieces, not even a pillow.

Although he doubted very much whether this kind of bed would be comfortable to sleep, now was not the time to lie down and try. As he glanced over Hagrid's bed, he found another window diagonally opposite the bed.

This window is different from the one in the outside. The window should be higher. Ernst walked over and picked up a corner of the curtain. Just looking out, he found that the opposite direction seemed to be the edge of the forbidden forest.

It's a little dark tonight. Looking from here, there are shadows in the woods. You can't really see anything.

But when Ernst took back the finger that picked up the curtain, the faint sound outside made him stop the movement of his hand.

"Rustle -- crash --"

There was something moving through the trees and grass, and it sounded fast. It was approaching the hunting house from one direction.

Ernst looked outside, then looked back at the curtain leading to the outside - his heart was tangled over whether to inform Hagrid.

However, at the thought of Hagrid's sharp appearance, he decided to stay here and wait a little longer according to the other party's instructions.

"The current situation... Especially the forest ban, Professor Hagrid must know better than me..."

Knowing little about everything, Ernst, who just acted with a sense of anxiety, did not make any wrong judgment.

"Well, it's said that there are many magical creatures in the forbidden forest. It shouldn't be surprising to hear a little noise."

However, there are few things in the world that can be achieved as they wish, otherwise Muggles will not ask God and worship Buddha everywhere in case of trouble.

When Ernst put down the dirty curtains again and planned to sit on Hagrid's bed for a while, another movement suddenly broke the quiet night. The sound this time was much louder than the sound of the branches and leaves just now!

"Bang! Bang -"

Two heavy muffled sounds suddenly came out of the forbidden forest. Ernst quickly turned back and opened the curtains, but only saw a vague shadow passing away at the edge of the forest.

Vaguely, he seemed to see something dragged into the woods, leaving only a completely crushed bush.

The noise was so great that it was hard for Hagrid to hear it. And the teeth, who had just fallen asleep, were again awakened by the sound from the dream of "dragon meat meal", and barked again with a small short tail.

At the moment when Ernst peered out against the window and Hagrid stood at the door carefully looking out, a strange low roar mixed with a sense of irritability surprised everyone.

At the door, Hagrid, who heard the roar, obviously changed his face. He looked at the Forbidden Forest and the house behind him, and fell into some hesitation.

"... I'll go with you!"

The old housekeeper, who was always watching Hagrid, soon understood that Hagrid seemed hesitant. Obviously, half of the reasons for his hesitation were his own.

"Oh, no -" Hagrid touched the handle of the old umbrella, which had always been inserted in his waist, and suddenly shook his head. "Mr. LeMay, you have to stay here, and of course I am... Now that I have taken the job, I have to do it well."

With that, he simply turned and walked to the old housekeeper, then leaned against the wall and didn't even close the door.

At this time, Ernst, who was close to the window, suddenly saw a dark shadow flying out of the Forbidden Forest and falling heavily on the ground.

In an instant, the earth and turf scattered and splashed, and several small stones even hit the window frame in front of him, making a crash sound of "claclacla".

"What... What?"

Before he could see what was lying on the ground, suddenly a bigger figure rushed out of the Forbidden Forest in the night and fished the thing on the ground as light as nothing.

"Boom!"

But I saw the frightening figure, raised the soft thing with one hand, and then swung it vigorously to the ground, making a more terrible dull noise.

"Roar -"

Until the figure roared again, the moon in mid air seemed to finally come out from behind the clouds. Through the gradually lit moon, Ernst saw the true face of the huge figure clearly.

"Is it... A giant!"

When he thought of giants, Ernst immediately recalled the giant throne he saw in the ice cave palace.

But compared with the five giant thrones in memory, the "giant" by the forbidden forest is obviously more than twice smaller, let alone compared with the real giants who originally sat on those thrones.

"Is this really a giant? Or something else..."

Not to mention the doubts of tynes, Hagrid outside, of course, heard the impact and roar again and again.

This time, he couldn't help it any more. After hurriedly telling the old housekeeper to follow him, he took out his broken umbrella and ran quickly to the back of the house. Just behind him, the old housekeeper was not much slower than him. He really stopped not far behind according to his words.

"... little glop."

Hagrid knew that the growling must be his half brother - he was so familiar with glop's voice that he couldn't hear it wrong.

In fact, he also knew that there were absolutely a few people who could easily hurt glop. In fact, he didn't have to worry too much. However, it was his own brother after all, and it was also his only "real" family in the world.

If he doesn't take care of glop, who should he take care of?

"Glop -"

As soon as he got around the fence in the backyard of the hunting house, Hagrid saw the familiar figure. He immediately rushed over there.

As he got closer, Hagrid saw that it was indeed glop. But what glop was grasping at the moment surprised him.

Hagrid also went to see today's final, so he remembered clearly that it was definitely the alchemy made by today's champion.

The wings, strong body and twisted face of the fire dragon are no different from that alchemical synthetic beast.

However, the monster, which originally looked both powerful and frightening, has now become a soft and broken sack in glop's hands, which shows that it has experienced some destruction like wind and rain.

"Hagel?"

On hearing Hagrid's voice, glop immediately turned around.

He seemed to throw aside the synthetic beast in his hand in disgust, then walked quickly to Hagrid, bent down and hugged Hagrid's back.

"Hagel," he said in a rough voice, "gwop broke his sleep... Woke up... Bad guy..."

Obviously, glop can finally speak a few English words.

Although he still said it piecemeal, it is not easy for an ordinary... Even flawed giant.

Unfortunately, he probably didn't pronounce other people's names all his life - except Maka's.

"Oh, yes, yes?"

Hagrid felt that his bones were creaking in grop's arms, and he even struggled to speak. Of course, he has long been used to such a small thing.

"Little glop, are you all right? Did you get hurt?" Hagrid said with concern. "Let go of my brother and let him have a good check..."

When Hagrid and Gloop, the strange brothers, gathered together to talk, the old housekeeper looked at them curiously.

Behind a big tree on the right hand of the old housekeeper, another figure is hiding in the shadow. The skeleton crutch in his hand was raised and put down silently, as if he were constantly hesitating.
