The second weekend of Hogwarts soon arrived, and Levin and Hermione decided to take advantage of their free time between classes to visit the Magical Creatures Sanctuary on the Isle of Man.
Since Hermione wanted to formulate an industrial grouping and new industrial investment plan, of course she had to conduct an on-site inspection in order to have a more intuitive understanding of their magical creature-related industries.
Although the sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly, the wind was strong, and Levin teleported Hermione directly from the tower to the entrance of the reserve.
They followed the signs in the reserve, passed through a huge stone gate, and arrived at the Giant Reserve.
"Hermione, look over there. Levin's voice floated in the wind. He stretched out his arms and pointed to a huge field surrounded by forests in the distance,"That's the training ground for the giants.""
Hermione looked in the direction of Levin's finger, and an unexpected picture reflected in her pupils.
She originally thought that the giant's training ground would be a valley or cave full of primitive flavor, but the scene in front of her was completely different. It subverted her imagination.
The flat cement field extended into the distance, with rows of tall bungalows built on the edge.
Various enlarged versions of training equipment were placed on the field: dumbbells as towering as hills, thigh-thick iron chains, For giants to practice climbing rockeries and so on.
Wooden piles and stone walls are firmly erected around the site, acting as sandbags. The most eye-catching thing is the cross-country training field composed of boulders, giant trees and potholes. This site occupies several acres of land.
The scene in front of him is obviously an enlarged version of the military camp hidden in the forest. Before he finished speaking, a rumble of footsteps suddenly sounded, and the earth seemed to be shaking.
They all agreed in unison They turned around and saw a giant more than seven meters tall walking towards them.
The giant's skin was pale, slightly khaki, and he was wearing a black horned camel fur coat. The smooth leather surface was shining brightly in the sun. Shining with a deep luster, the shiny bald head reflected dazzling light in the sun.
The giant raised his fist expressionlessly, and Hermione noticed that his fist was inlaid with a metal engraved with magic-breaking runes. Pointing to the tiger. I saw him punching the stone wall beside him. The stone wall that had been casted with [Solidization Technique] collapsed suddenly, and dust flew everywhere.
Hermione looked at the giant in the distance, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Are those giants?"Hermione's voice was full of doubts, her eyes lingering on those tall figures,"It's different from what I learned in the book."
The giants in the book were deformed, ugly, and looked like dirty savages, which were completely different from the ones in front of them.
Levin smiled softly, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes:"The original ones The giant is indeed lazy about food, fat, and groggy all day long. However, the giants you see now have been carefully trained by us. He pointed at the giants on the training ground and continued:"They receive formal training every day. Not only do their bodies become stronger, but their discipline is also greatly improved.""
Hermione followed Levin's hand and saw the giants holding up the black horned animal double-breasted fur coat. Their muscles looked extremely developed in the sun. Their movements were neat and uniform, and every movement revealed It gave off a sense of strength.
Hermione couldn't help but sigh that Levin's use of"strong" to describe these giants was too modest.
At this moment, the other side of the training ground attracted Hermione's attention.
A man wearing a horned camel fur coat The giant walked alone to the middle of the field, and the wizards who trained the giants began to release various attack spells on him, but the giant stood still like a mountain, motionless.
Although after more than a year of experience, After witnessing the rise of Voldemort, witnessing the dirty political struggle below the water, and personally managing a huge organization, Hermione was no longer the witch who had never seen darkness.
But after seeing someone starting to use [Fireball] on giants, Hermione Technique], she is still worried despite her kind nature
"Levin, how come these giants are so obedient? She couldn't help but ask,"Are they just standing there and being beaten willingly?" If you cast a spell on them like this, will they really not have any accidents?"
Levin stood behind Hermione. He heard Hermione's worries and smiled softly:
"You don't need to worry about [Fireball] being a magic spell that will take away their lives, Hermione. They have gone through our special training and are used to such attacks. Moreover, the giants' skin already has strong magic resistance, and coupled with the horned camel leather armor they wear, these magic spells are nothing to them."
Hermione turned her head and looked into Levin's eyes:"But, that's [Fireball]."
【Fireball is one of the most destructive spells among the three-ring spells. Based on Hermione's experience, except for the fire dragon, there are basically no creatures that can eat so many fireballs head-on. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Yes, but so what. Levin nodded,"Compared to [Fireball], the giant's defensive ability is more powerful." Horned camel leather armor is a very precious defensive material, and its defensive ability is even better than that of the fire dragon's skin. Most spells have no way of causing substantial damage to horned hide armor. Of course, if a powerful wizard like Voldemort or Dumbledore uses the [Killing Curse], the giant may suffer some injuries. However, the spells used by ordinary wizards pose no threat to them. After Levin finished speaking, he pointed at the pale and yellowish skin of the giants:"Hermione, do you think the skin color of these giants is different from the giants in the book?""
Hermione nodded with a questioning expression.
"This is because they took my improved powerful [Stoneskin] potion. Levin said proudly:"I changed the formula of the [Stoneskin Magic] potion. Some of the medicinal materials in the original formula were very rare and expensive. I replaced them with some cheaper materials but with more serious side effects." The [Stoneskin] magic potion created in this way is more effective, and the price is only some side effects. These side effects may be fatal to human wizards, but the giants can easily bear it.
Hermione asked curiously after hearing this:"Side effects?" What impact will that have on them?"
Levin explained:"If a wizard takes the powerful [Stoneskin] potion, the powerful earth element energy in it will directly turn him into a stone statue, but this will not happen if it is placed on a giant. At most, their hair will fall off. , becomes bald, and the skin will gradually turn into earth elements. But these are the prices that must be paid to enhance their defense capabilities."
Levan gently patted Hermione on the shoulder and directed her attention to the three giants on the other side of the field.
They were towering, like three moving hills, but they formed a triangle at this moment, throwing each other around. A huge stone ball. The stone ball jumped lightly in their hands, and the smiles on their faces showed that they were immersed in this simple entertainment.
"See that, Hermione? There was a hint of pride in Levin's voice,"The giants in the past always liked to smash everything with sticks, fight each other, or kill animals in the forest for fun. Now their entertainment methods are much more civilized." Hermione nodded, but the confusion in her eyes did not completely dissipate:"Yes, I saw it." But, Levine, how do you do it? The characters of these giants seem completely different from those described in the books."
She didn't understand." The book said that giants are usually violent, irritable, lazy and undisciplined creatures. But the giants here give people a very orderly feeling. what on earth is it?"This is all due to the power of the bond of slavery,"
Levine explained. Every giant who comes here will sign a servitude contract with me. This contract gives me the right to punish them at any time to ensure that they abide by our rules. He paused and pointed to some giants working in the distance:"Look, they are all obedient now, right?" This is the effect of the bond of slavery. I gave some authority to the staff here, allowing them to punish the giants when they went crazy."
So Levin continued to introduce:"This depends on the slavery contract. Every giant here has signed a slavery contract with me. Through the contract, I have the power to punish them at any time. Now I have given some of the authority of the contract to the staff here, allowing them to punish the giants when they are disobedient, and in this way encourage them to obey discipline."
"But, Levine, is it really appropriate to rely solely on punishment to maintain order?"Hermione listened and frowned.[]
Levin nodded. He understood Hermione's concerns:"Your concerns are justified, Hermione. Indeed, punishment alone is not enough. Therefore, we have also set up a reward system. For those who perform For giants who are good and willing to actively cooperate, we will give them more meat, spices and other rewards. In this way, they will be motivated to abide by our regulations."
He smiled slightly (Li Mo's) and continued:"Moreover, I also cast [Enlightenment Magic] on these giants. This magic can improve their intelligence level and make them more aware of their actions and responsibilities. You see, now they can all conduct simple conversations in English. We communicated, although there are still some problems with the accent"
"However, won't this destroy the giant's original culture and nature?"Hermione always felt that Levin's actions were somewhat inconsistent with the education she received - at least the education she received in Muggle society."I always feel that such a giant does not look like a giant. Moreover, using a slavery contract to change them seems a bit...over the top?"
"Of course the giant will destroy the original culture and nature by doing this," Levin sneered,"But Hermione, you know what? No one is born willing to live a primitive life, right? Not all primitive ecology is correct - the so-called primitive ecology is just a label imposed on them by us civilized people in order to satisfy our curiosity.. At this point, I particularly dislike the Muggle government of the United States. He sighed and said earnestly:"It is true that Muggles' ideas are more advanced than wizards in many aspects, but they are only more advanced than wizards. This does not mean that they are all right." For example, here, we must admit that giants are also creatures with thoughts and feelings, and they should also have the right to choose a better way of life."
