Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 327: Low IQ Negotiation Expert
"Dumbledore!"
After Hagrid put down the Gublai fairy fire and said his intentions, the lazy and arrogant giant Gu Ge lit his eyes and repeated the name. Fastest update
Gu Ge doesn't understand English, but this name makes him remember. Because the territory they are now in is what Dumbledore won for them back then.
For the remaining giants, Dumbledore is an unforgettable person.
The giant Gu Ge looked at Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim. He barely noticed Maca who was also standing by. Immediately afterwards, he yelled something in that kind of crude-sounding giant language.
It didn't take long for the giant crowd behind Maca to walk out two big guys who seemed to be a little old. They walked heavy steps past Maca and his party and stood around the giant Gu Ge.
"Dumbledore, for Kakusgugo, gift?" one of the older giants asked in unskilled English.
Hagrid hurriedly responded, and then introduced the torch that was burning the ancient Gubrai fairy fire to them. And when the two old giants almost understood, they turned their heads and explained to their Gu Ge Ji Li Gu Lu.
At this time, in fact, the giants behind Maca have already got behind him. When they heard the two old giants explain the "eternal fire" clearly, almost the entire tribe became excited. .
Even the giant Gugokakus looked very happy. He sat up, grabbed the torch inserted by Hagrid on the ground, and put out his finger.
I saw that blue-white flame was lifted up by his fingers like a ribbon, but in the next instant, it gathered back to the top of the torch.
So, even though Karkusdang made a pleasant laugh, the muffled sound immediately exploded in the ears of the three of Maca and others, and even felt a trembling under their feet.
Because the volume of the laughter was so loud, Maca couldn't help grinning.
Fire has always been the favorite thing of the giants. Although they learned how to make fire from the wizard who hired them to participate in the war as early as the Middle Ages, their fire was bestowed by nature before that.
The importance of flame in their minds is almost the same as that of ancestors.
When they learned to make fire, the fire gradually evolved into a kind of belief and obsession. This eternal fire from Hagrid is undoubtedly the most sacred gift.
The flame that will not go out, what a wonderful thing! Although the flame is not even warm at all.
While the giant Gugokakus' laughter stopped for a while, Hagrid missed the opportunity to speak. Of course, he mainly said to the two older giants...
"Albus Dumbledore said that tomorrow, the messenger will bring another gift, and Gu Ge will talk to the messenger."
After speaking, Hagrid, Madam Maxim and Maca bowed, and planned to retreat according to the original plan.
No way, it's all about dealing with giants. Giants are very patient creatures. If they speak too much, they will find it hard to listen to you, so they will kill you a hundred.
About this, it is their nature, even if Dumbledore comes in person, it will not change much.
However, the trio of people thought it was going to be a smooth gift, but there was unexpected apostasy.
"Wait!"
Before they took a few steps back, the old giant behind him stopped them with a single word following Kakusgugo's words.
After hearing this, the three of Maca stood still.
At this moment, Kakusgugo reluctantly looked at the torch held in his hand, and then reinserted it on the ground in front of them in the doubtful gaze of Maca and others. .
"Kakusgugo said, we must refuse."
The old giant who said this sentence also stared at the torch with a look of reluctance.
"Why?" Hagrid asked in surprise.
This time without Karkus first, the old giant replied immediately: "Other wizards, gave Gugg, more and better gifts...Reject Dumbledore!"
As he spoke, he drew a circle on his chest to indicate that they had received "so many" gifts. But after that, he reluctantly stared at the torch on the ground again.
Although it looked a little funny, Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim couldn't laugh at all.
"Is it Voldemort again?"
Maca thought of the almost inevitable answer in an instant.
It is absolutely true to say that giants are all stubborn and dead-headed. Maca can be sure that they are not rejecting handy gifts because of their loyalty to the promise.
The reason for Kakus's refusal is mostly because the messenger sent by Voldemort explicitly mentioned the sentence "Accepting a gift is tantamount to rejecting Dumbledore's gift."
From the perspective of wizards and even Muggles, this is difficult to explain, but in the mind of the giant that can't turn around, it will only become this result.
And now, if Karkus doesn't accept Dumbledore's gift, he can't make any negotiations. Because in the giant's concept, gifts are equivalent to employment.
This simple and rude equation is actually a wizard of the Middle Ages, and it took a lot of setbacks to teach them.
"What to do?"
Hagrid has a deep understanding of giants, especially after a reminder from Dumbledore, he even understands the difficulty of communicating with giants, which is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
When he turned his head and looked at Mrs. Maxim and Maca, the giants around were already a little impatient.
"I don't know what to do... Is this a breakdown in negotiations? No, it hasn't started yet!" Mrs. Maxim frowned, "Or, let's leave with Fairy Fire first. Right?"
Almost as soon as Maxim was speaking, Hagrid suddenly felt his legs tighten, and then he found the whole world turned upside down.
He reluctantly turned his head to look, and finally found out that the reason was that the giant who had been standing next to Kakus from the beginning, violently raised his leg and hung him upside down.
Even a man as big as Hagrid, around the real giant, is as weak as a child.
"Oh roar"
The giant roared violently at Hagrid, and then he wanted to throw him out. Mrs. Maxim on the side even drew out her newly bought wand.
In this extremely urgent moment, Maca patted Mrs. Maxim's hand, and then took a decisive step and raised the torch inserted on the ground again.
"Maca McLean!"
His yell has already used the amplification curse, and the loud voice immediately exploded in the ears of every giant.
Of course, the reason why he only reported his name, he actually didn't want to say anything in detail.
After all, Hagrid is holding it in his hands now, and he is about to be thrown out. In such a moment, he had no time to say anything, and even if he did, the giant probably didn't understand it, didn't he?
Maca did this just to get the giant's attention first.
In fact, he did succeed. When his name rang in the giant's ears, the other party subconsciously stopped the movement and looked down at him.
Seeing that his restraint was in effect, Maca said in a loud voice: "Maca McLean, present a gift to Kakusgugo to show respect."
This sentence is almost exactly the same as the one Hagrid said before. The only difference is that he replaced Dumbledore's name with himself, nothing more.
As far as the concept of stealing is concerned, this is undoubtedly a stupid way. But to deal with these "stupid big guys" in front of them, this stupid remark is enough to produce wonders.
"Oh"
When the two old giants around Kakus heard the words, their eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had heard some well-known sayings, they told Kakusgugo happily.
You don't need to wait for Kakus to speak, you don't even need to look at Kakus's expression. When Maca saw the eyes of the two old giants shining brightly, he understood that his "stupid approach" was completely successful~IndoMTL.com~ To say that the young giants are all "stupid", then this The two old giants can be said to be relatively not "stupid to the end".
Even races with arrears in IQ such as giants will actually become a little smarter once they grow older and have relatively richer experience.
This is what Maca thought of when he recalled that the two old giants had refused in accordance with Kakus's decision more than once.
In the giants, Gu Ge's decision must be heeded. Unless another giant challenges him, he still has to listen.
Although the two old giants obeyed, they didn't seem to be completely sure of Kakus's decision, which was enough to prove Maca's conjecture.
"Margalane, good!"
When the giant Gugokakus personally changed Maca's name, he immediately pulled out the torch on the ground again, and started playing with it reluctantly.
"Maca McLean, tomorrow, bring gifts and talk to Kakusgugo."
Although it has gone through a lot of twists and turns, the goal of today has finally been achieved.
When the giant holding Hagrid dropped him and looked at the torch enviously, Maca immediately finished saying what he should say to the old giant, and then he has not returned. The **** Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim retreated out of the valley.
……
"Maca, you really have you! Just fool the giants!"
The three returned to the back of the ridge, Hagrid rubbed his old waist, which was almost unbroken, and praised the witty Maca with excitement.
Even Mrs. Maxim, who has always paid attention to maintaining elegance, couldn't help but exaggerate at this time. )!!
