A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 773 My God, is it really that amazing?

The sky was cloudless, and the jagged mountain peaks rose steeply and darkly until they reached the summit, where the ice and snow surrounding the peaks shone with a pale glow under the moonlight.

Climbing on such a hillside, one could easily fall, but the two giants moved with the agility and nimbleness of monkeys.

Sitting on Ygritte's shoulders, William felt like he was on a roller coaster without safety armrests.

Thrilling and exciting!

Fortunately, he developed a strong heart during the time loop; otherwise, he might have had a heart attack from the fright.

Ygritte just suggested that she could use her long hair as a safety rope to tie around his neck.

William resolutely refused; if he fell, he'd be hanged.

Ygritte then suggested that she could hold him in her arms, which would be safer and wouldn't hinder her climbing.

William imagined the scene for a moment, then thought about the size difference between the two... He felt like he was nursing a baby.

So he refused again.

We're respectable people; we wouldn't dare do anything fancy or frivolous.

If Hermione finds out, she'll chop his head off with a sword.

William didn't want to end up like Makoto, without experiencing what Makoto had, at such a young age.

William couldn't help but shudder at the thought.

The wind was like a razor, whistling sharply in the cold night, and he inexplicably missed the plump Boba Tea.

During the winter at school, when he felt cold, he would put his hands on the warm belly of the bubble tea.

When I sleep in the dormitory at night, I let it lie down in the quilt first, like a little girl warming the bed.

What a great hand warmer!

As the light grew dimmer, William took out night vision potion, ingested it, and continued to survey the surrounding scenery.

There are very few trees here, and they are short and low, crookedly squeezed into the crevices and gullies of the rocks; layers of rock slabs hang above the path, with icicles hanging from the edges, which look like snow-white fangs from a distance.

The scenery all looks the same after a while, but William tried hard to find its unique features, and luckily he drew a map on parchment.

The giants lived in seclusion in the Alps, and even Dumbledore did not know their exact location.

A map must be drawn up before proceeding to the next step.

William was drawing a map, while Ygritte kept glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.

Or rather, ever since the young wizard named Stark sat on her shoulders, his gaze had never left her.

She had climbed this mountain range countless times and could do it with her eyes closed without falling.

The young wizard, however, swayed back and forth without holding onto anything, but he didn't fall down until he returned to his original posture, perfectly intact, as if he had become one with her.

What kind of interesting magic is this?!

Well, Ygritte has developed a strange dislike for magic.

If he can't sit still, I can hold him.

Just like the female giants in the tribe who hold and breastfeed their newborn babies.

That was exactly what I had just suggested, but it was rejected without hesitation.

Although Ygritte was not yet an adult and was a typical teenage girl, it did not stop her from feeling an overwhelming maternal love for this short man.

Ygritte didn't know if this was love, but Stark was really handsome!

Since birth, Ygritte has always stayed in the mountains, and the farthest she has ever gone is only to the foot of the mountain.

She used the wild animals she captured to trade with the Muggles at the foot of the mountain for necessities.

Ygritte had never seen such a beautiful wizard before; he looked completely different from her giant companions.

Ygritte did not stop him as she watched him draw the map.

There's absolutely no need... Once you're in the tribe, there's no way you can leave.

Giants like to knock out their own kind with a single blow, then drag them into their caves to do unspeakable things.

This would be considered a declaration of sovereignty.

Ygritte's mother had seduced her father in the same way.

Ygritte felt that she had found an excellent man and should take the initiative to not let him slip away.

But the young wizard had just killed four giants, and she estimated that she was no match for them.

Therefore, they had to lure the enemy into the tribe first, then secretly knock them unconscious and drag them to their own cave.

Although she is not yet an adult, she can do some things that adults should do tonight.

I'm afraid Stark isn't strong enough, so I have to be gentle and not hurt him.

William, unaware of Ygritte's sinister intentions, suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance.

Because of the place where the giants lived,

Arrived!

He wouldn't be too surprised if he saw a huge cave halfway up the mountain, and he could barely accept it even if he saw an extra-large house.

But what came into view was a modern cave entrance, with an equilateral cross installed on one side of the building.

William was completely stunned.

They actually live in a church, and even giants have converted to Christ and started believing in the Lord?

My goodness, is it really that amazing?!

Well, William quickly realized the problem: the cross was not a Latin cross, but an equilateral cross.

Not all crosses are the same, especially in terms of size and proportion.

The traditional Christian cross shape is called the Latin cross.

The wings are shorter than the central vertical plate.

It originated from a Roman instrument of torture, and the name of this symbol reflects this history of violence:

The English word "cross" or "crucifix" comes from the Latin word "cruciare".

This word means "torture" or "torture".

This is why Jesus was crucified by the Romans during his punishment; the cross was originally a form of torture.

But what appears before us is a square cross.

This symbol has a long history and is used extensively.

It was once the emblem of the Knights Templar, and it is also the emblem of the flag of neutral Switzerland.

Therefore, this was actually a bunker dug by the Swiss for use in war and as an air-raid shelter.

Albania undoubtedly has the most bunkers in the world.

There are hundreds of thousands of them across the country, and they can be seen almost everywhere.

They were all built during the Cold War to prepare for a possible sudden war.

Switzerland is probably the second most affected country.

Indeed, in most people's eyes, the impression of Switzerland is probably limited to Alpine lollipops, Heidi the girl from the Alps, its status as a permanently neutral country, the reliable banks in Zurich, and the fairytale world of Lucerne.

However, there are also bunkers with thousands of tunnels here, which were tactical bunkers used by the Swiss in their fight against the war.

They were part of the "defensive inner fortress" strategy, which would serve as a hideout for government and military commanders should Switzerland be invaded.

Switzerland's ability to remain permanently neutral stems not only from its barren land and unique geographical location, but also from its capacity to wage guerrilla warfare.

Even now, Switzerland still has 300,000 bunkers, all of which are regularly maintained, armed with ammunition, and their food supplies are replaced annually.

Theoretically, it can accommodate more than 800 million people nationwide.

Therefore, it was not a big deal for giants to find an abandoned bunker in the Alps and even occupy it as their home.

While William was admiring the architecture, Ygritte, fearing he might make a mistake, offered a gentle reminder:

"When you meet Chief Friedwafa later, don't forget to bring her a gift; she has a rather eccentric temperament."

William nodded, but then paused, asking, "Who did you say?"

Isn't this Hagrid's scumbag mother who abandoned her husband and son?

Are you still alive?
