"boom--"

There was a loud noise accompanied by the earth shaking, and the giant's fists hit the ground hard, splashing countless snow. Borbus almost got up on his hands and feet and ran to the side in panic.

Yes, he has been discovered by one of the giants.

It was a very helpless thing to say - originally he just wanted to drive away the giant that kept coming towards him, and the parchment with the rune formation was not lethal.

But who would have known that when he discovered two other giants one after another, he was unexpectedly surrounded by three giants.

As a result, with his running speed, it was only a matter of time before he was surrounded.

For this reason, Borbus chose to break out from the side of the last giant. It was best to slip away before the opponent noticed it.

However, his misfortune continued.

While he was running in a certain direction from the foot of the mountain, the giant finally noticed his "nasty little bug".

You know, although they are not as intelligent as humans, giants are also intelligent. In the past wizard wars, as members of the losing side, they naturally had no favorable impression of wizards.

At the moment he was awakened, the giant's temper became obviously even more violent. As soon as he spotted Borbus' running figure, he immediately chased after him with his strong long legs.

For him, it only took a few steps to catch up with Borbus, and then there was a fierce slam of both hands on the ground.

Perhaps he was very familiar with the sound of this kind of heavy pounding, but there was another giant who looked at the location of this fellow giant and rushed towards it out of habit.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-"

The aggressive nature of the giants was immediately revealed at this moment. Even if they were of the same race, they would take action without explanation after being aroused to fight.

Fighting each other, or even killing each other, is the custom of the giant clan. For them, there is no need to reason when fighting.

"boom!"

Not long after, the giant who was still chasing Borbus was punched by another giant who quickly arrived, and was hit hard on the waist. The dull impact of the huge force hitting the solid muscle,

Suddenly it echoed at the foot of the mountain like muffled thunder.

The giant who was hit had his whole body moved laterally for a certain distance, but he didn't even rub his waist. He turned around and punched back.

As for the "little bug" I was chasing just now? How could it be as fun to beat up as the strong body of the same race!

Borbus, who was continuing to run forward, suddenly realized that the giant who had been following him since just now suddenly disappeared.

He looked back with some doubts to see what happened. After looking at it, he realized that the two giants were fighting on their own.

However, just when Borbus thought he could finally escape with peace of mind, the beaten giant was actually lifted up by another one and was about to be thrown towards him...

Is this okay?

Before the giant let go, the fat man quickly took out a silver metal chain from his bag - it looked like a magic jewelry.

But it was obviously an accessory, but he didn't put it on his body. He activated the magic contained in the chain when he held it in his hand. And then, the magic effect of the accessory was immediately revealed——

It is undoubtedly a kind of magic that can increase the speed of movement. It is actually a bit like the shallow rules magic that Maka learned from the ancient assassin.

Seeing that Borbus took advantage of the opportunity of the two giants to fight each other and randomly chose an uninhabited direction to run faster and faster, Maka thought he could finally escape the danger this time!

But when she thought about the ending of the "last giant hunt" in history, Maka felt that this memory might not end so simply.

According to relevant records in the history of ancient magic, the end of this famous hunt represented not only the end of a bad habit, but also the beginning of another war!

If it could only be regarded as an accident at the moment, when another rumbling sound suddenly sounded in the distance, the area suddenly became a chaos that was not accidental.

From the current perspective of Borbus, we can see that there are actually several groups of giants gathering here from several directions. They roared and roared, and their heavy footsteps made the ground tremble, and even the surrounding environment

They all seemed to gradually become darker as those huge bodies approached.

Immediately afterwards, several of the wizards who were hunters at first were suddenly shot to death, and the rest also chose to evacuate urgently.

Of course, only a few guys who can apparate away can escape, and the rest are not so lucky.

Borbus ran as if he was dumbfounded and then stopped. He looked at more and more giants in all directions, and his whole body felt bad.

To be honest, looking at the current situation, anyone who is afraid will think that the giants have already planned it. And at present, Borbus is naturally also filled with doubts.

"What's going on? The hunter has become the prey instead? Have the giants become smarter? Or is there a smart enough leader in their group?"

He stood there, looking at those huge figures that were almost everywhere with a surprised face, and murmured in a low voice.

In his view, the giants who would fight on the battlefield were indeed a group of magical creatures with only muscles and no brains. Although he had always opposed wizard hunting, it did not mean that he supported a certain group.

A voice advocating for equality.

But at this moment, he discovered that those savage and violent giants seemed to be really organized?

Just when Borbus gave up running with a look of disbelief on his face, Hermione, who was watching from the side, suddenly said:

"Maka, I remember the book said that the giant war after this was caused by 'insufficient food', right? And although the giants had settlements and their cohesion increased a lot, they can't design something like this."

Anti-hunting' plan..."

"...It is indeed not possible. After all, the subsequent Giant War also proved that even if these giants gather together, they will only have a little more defensive power." Maka took advantage of the situation and continued, "So Binns

The professor just reminded us that this is 'reality' but not 'history'."

But while Maka and Hermione were still seriously discussing the historical situation, Luna not far away pointed at the giants and said:

"It would be great if those big guys could be as obedient as Graup. In that case, we would definitely have many new friends now!"

Her wish is beautiful, but unfortunately, the giant's nature makes it almost impossible for her wish to come true. Even Hagrid's "stunted" brother Grawp is not absolutely "obedient"

.

For the giants, fighting and killing are the meaning of their existence. Even if they no longer need food, daily battles will never stop...

Just as Maka was thinking this, she suddenly noticed that Borbus, who seemed to have given up just now, lowered his head again and flipped through his satchel again.

Maybe it was because the pressure from the huge figures getting closer and closer around him was too great. This time Borbus moved very quickly and took out another piece of parchment from inside in a few seconds.

Before Maka could look at it, she saw him suddenly unfold the parchment, and then a burst of slightly dazzling golden light burst out from the paper.

And in the next second, a figure suddenly appeared from where the golden light shone, accompanied by the violent distortion of the space.

"What's the matter, Borbus? What happened to you-"

Before the visitor finished speaking, he immediately noticed something strange around him. The giants were all very close now. The one at the front might be able to flatten Borbus with a slap if he took just two steps.

.

And this is indeed the case...

"Did you break into the giant tribe?"

The man only left these words, and then he grabbed Borbus's robe and disappeared on the spot in an instant.

Looking at the entire memory world that turned into silver mist and dissipated with the departure of Borbus, Hermione looked at Maka with some unfinished thoughts.

"Is the lady who appeared last just now Rowena Ravenclaw? She is so beautiful, just-"

Before she could finish speaking, she unconsciously stopped what she was saying because she noticed that Maka's expression seemed to freeze at the moment it ended, and this was obviously something wrong.

"Maka? Maka!"

Hermione wanted to grab Maka's arm and shake it, but when she reached out, she realized that they were still in the world of the Pensieve! How could they touch Maka.

Fortunately, after her shouting, Maka quickly came back to her senses.

"Oh, sorry..." He smiled, "I just remembered some stories about Ms. Ravenclaw."

"Yeah?"

Hermione looked back and forth at Maka with some hesitation. It could be seen that the other party seemed to have returned to normal, so she had no choice but not to delve deeper.

She was already familiar with Maka's character and knew that asking in this situation would be in vain.

"Looking for where our bodies are, we can raise our heads."

Maka said, closing her eyes first, and the consciousness that followed him was withdrawn from the pensieve. Seeing this, Hermione and Luna also imitated him and closed their eyes, and easily escaped from it.

come out.

After returning to the real world, Maka nodded to Professor Binns, took the initiative to put away the memory wadding that was still in the basin, corked the bottle and walked to the cabinet at the back.

Hermione looked at his back and pursed her lips - she was very sensitive to people and things, so she was obviously very concerned about the brief strangeness just now.

As for Maka, with his back to Hermione and others at this moment, he also had a look of incomprehension on his face.

"That was indeed Rowena, but the moment she left with Borbus..." He recalled secretly, "There was nothing unusual in her movements, but I always felt... did she glance at me?
