Chapter 4127 4129 [Hogsmeade attacked]
At the end of October, the students finally got to play in Hogsmeade.
On this day, Xiang Nan also had a rare moment of relaxation and headed to Hogsmeade with Lily and others.
Because he didn't want Lily to think that he was a nerd who only knew how to read and make medicine.
This type of academic overachiever is relatively popular in China, but in European and American countries, academic overachievers are usually teased and ostracized.
This can be seen from the original work of "Harry Potter". When Hermione was in first grade, she was ostracized by her classmates for a long time. Even Ron mocked her for having no friends, and she was so angry that she hid in the bathroom and cried.
Xiang Nan wanted Lily to see that he also had a fun, humorous and chic side, so he went to Hogsmeade Village with everyone.
This place is indeed like a town in a fairy tale. The houses are all in the old style from centuries ago. The roofs are covered with thick straw and there are feet of white snow...
There are no electric lights, no antennas, and no modern equipment in the town, so when you are in it, you really feel like you have returned to the Middle Ages.
"It's so beautiful, just like the town on the Christmas card." Lily couldn't help but admire it.
Xiang Nandu nodded.
Afterwards, everyone visited DeVos and Bans Magic Items Shop, Zuko’s Joke Shop, Honeydukes Candy Shop, Literati Stationery Shop, etc., and finally went to the Three Broomsticks Bar to drink butterbeer.
It was a slightly alcoholic drink, rich and delicious. In Xiang Nan's opinion, it is somewhat similar to "slightly drunk milk tea".
Gregory liked drinking very much, but Xiang Nan stopped him and reminded him that there was a Halloween dinner when he went back that night, so he had to drink to last.
…
While everyone was drinking, they suddenly heard a noise outside the bar.
"Oh, my God~"
"Come here, something happened~"
"Help, someone come quickly~"
Urgent cries for help could be heard from many people.
Xiang Nan rushed out immediately, followed closely by Lily, Gregory, Benjamin and others.
When they came to the street, everyone was shocked. They saw three giants over six meters tall, carrying wooden sticks made from big trees, wreaking havoc at the entrance of Hogsmeade.
With a casual wave of the wooden stick in their hands, the house fell down. Those houses made of stone and wood were as fragile as paper under their brute force.
People were frightened and ran away, making piercing screams.
Some people cast spells on the giants, hoping to subdue them.
But the magic resistance of giants is quite high. For ordinary wizards, powerful spells are like scratching an itch for them.
Hagrid only has half giant blood, and he can withstand the siege of five Aurors and Umbridge. When many spells are cast on him, they have no effect at all.
And the magic resistance of these giants is obviously higher. Those stun spells, confusion spells, repel spells, etc. can't do anything to them.
Instead, they became more arrogant and swung the wooden sticks in their hands more fiercely. In a short time, they collapsed several houses.
"Help~" Several villagers were trapped under the collapsed house, wailing miserably.
But their shouts not only failed to win the sympathy of the giants, but instead they swung their wooden clubs and smashed them down.
Seeing that blood was about to splatter on the spot, Xiang Nan immediately rushed forward, releasing a spell as he rushed, "Attenuate shock and stop speed, there are many obstacles~"
After using the shock absorber and speed stop, the speed of the wooden stick in the giant's hand suddenly slowed down. Without the blessing of speed, the destructive power of the wooden stick is also greatly reduced.
Xiang Nan then came closer, and with a wave of his magic wand, "Quickly imprison him~" Several thick and long ropes immediately flew from mid-air, like long snakes, locking a giant tightly, making it almost Unable to move.
"Ouch~" Upon seeing this, the other two giants swung their wooden sticks at Xiang Nan.
Their wooden sticks were half a meter thick and were made directly from the trunks of big trees. The bark of the trees was clearly visible, and they smashed towards Xiang Nan with a sound of wind.
"Ah~~~" Many people screamed in fear.
Lily felt that her legs were weak.
"Super armor protection." Xiang Nan then waved his wand.
boom! boom!
The two wooden sticks came down, but they only hit an invisible barrier and did not hurt Xiang Nan at all.
"Wow~" People were surprised.
The giants also had some surprises on their faces, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Tangled with vine roots~" Xiang Nan then waved his wand.
Countless tree roots suddenly emerged from the ground and soon entangled another giant.
When the last giant saw this, he was about to help his companions escape from their restraints.
Xiang Nan waved the magic wand again, "Everyone turned to stone~"
The last giant froze immediately, fell back, and fell heavily to the ground. It was like a building collapsing, causing the ground to tremble...
Xiang Nan then used "faint to the ground" to subdue the remaining two giants who were entangled with ropes and tree roots, making them fall asleep and fall into a baby-like sleep.
…
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and then burst into warm applause.
None of them expected that Xiang Nan subdued three giants with one move, which was really amazing.
"That's awesome, Sev, those are three giants~"
"Too strong, Sif, you took down three giants by yourself."
"Oh my God, three giants were taken care of by you alone~"
Lily, Joey, Benjamin, Gregory and others rushed up and surrounded Xiang Nan and said.
Giants are one of the most terrifying creatures in the magical world. They are extremely powerful and cruel and bloodthirsty.
In ancient times, giants often attacked human villages, plundered people's livestock and food, and even directly used people as food, leaving behind a series of horrific legends.
Therefore, people are very afraid of giants, but they did not expect that Xiang Nan could defeat three giants by himself now, which is really amazing.
"Maybe you'll be featured in a chocolate frog picture because of this." Gregory said excitedly.
The fifteenth-century wizard Gifford Alton was featured in the chocolate frog picture for his slaying of the giant Hangis of Upper Barnton.
The third-year Xiang Nan single-handedly defeated three giants, and his record was much better than that of Gifford Alton. Naturally, he had a better chance of appearing in the Chocolate Frog cartoon.
Xiang Nan waved his hand. It didn't matter to him whether he would be on the chocolate frog picture or not.
He then cast a repair spell to repair the house destroyed by the giant.
With the wave of his magic wand, those collapsed houses were restored to their original state. After a while, Hogsmeade returned to its former glory, as if nothing had happened just now.
Only the three giants lying on the street still reminded people that what just happened was not a dream.
