Chapter 327 Ethan, the Forbidden Forest is turning into a monster spawner!! (Two chapters combined)
After completing the conquest of the giant tribe—no, I mean "cooperation"—...
Early the next morning.
Ethan and his two companions then embarked on their journey back.
A pitch-black portal stood in mid-air.
That unfathomable interior.
It was as if a monster was opening its enormous mouth, about to send people into the abyss of nothingness.
but.
Ethan expressed his regret over this.
He has not yet discovered the coordinates of the abyss or the underworld.
The other side of the door.
It's just at the foot of the mountain.
This is truly cause for celebration!
The blood from last night still congealed on the rocky ground, revealing a dark red sheen.
The giants have been completely defeated.
He gazed in awe at Ethan, who sat atop the three-headed hound.
The giant chieftain spoke respectfully, "My lord wizard, what are your plans for us?"
After last night's rebellion.
The leader's title changed from "wizard" to "Master Wizard".
It shows utmost respect.
Upon hearing this...
Ethan opened his eyes, which were very tired from painting all night.
They met a group of hopeful and expectant gazes.
The giant child clung to the legs of his elder.
The jagged bones protrude from the thin skin and flesh.
The already large skeletal frame now looks even more like a walking clothes hanger.
Sucking on his fingers.
With big, curious eyes, he stared at Ethan.
That form.
It reminded Ethan of house-elves.
"yes."
Hagrid chimed in, his voice trembling with excitement, "I wonder how Professor Dumbledore plans to settle these enormous creatures!"
"A charging Gorgon! We'll need a huge hiding place to avoid being spotted by those guys at the Ministry of Magic!"
Hear this.
Ethan tilted his head in confusion, looking at Hagrid.
To say it in a matter-of-fact tone:
"A large, secluded area?" Do we really need to look for it? Hogwarts has plenty of places right there.
Meeting Hagrid's bewildered gaze.
Ethan curled the corners of his lips and uttered a single word, "Forbidden Forest," slowly and deliberately.
If it's a new species, just dump it all into the Forbidden Forest!
As for the depths of the forbidden forest.
It seems that the prototype for the ancient dragon paintings, a Norwegian Ridgeback mother and her cub, also inhabit the area...
Ok.
Ethan said.
Life will find a way.
Surely the giant race will be able to find a way to coexist peacefully.
"Forbidden Forest?!"
Hagrid's eyes widened, followed by a burst of ecstasy!
"Ethan, you're a genius!"
"That's right, the Forbidden Forest is not only rich in species and has a vast landscape, but it also cannot be detected by outsiders!"
"I might even be able to let the students play with giants during their magical creature protection class!"
Just thinking about that scene of laughter and joy makes me happy.
Hagrid simply said "Oh," feeling his heart melt.
the other side.
The giant leader watched them smile at each other.
I don't know why.
A strong sense of foreboding rose from the depths of my heart.
...I think nothing's wrong.
At least, it can't be any worse than this desolate cliff, right?
Thinking of this.
The giant leader felt slightly relieved.
They also discussed it with Ethan and the others, and agreed that in a few days, Headmaster Dumbledore would send someone to transfer them.
As for when the giant tribe discovered it.
What kind of creatures would be their neighbors in their new home, howling in agony and torment?
That's a story for another time.
at this time.
The giants simply watched Ethan and his companions depart with gratitude.
She murmured, "Bless you, powerful and benevolent king... We will always be loyal to you!"
And shortly after Ethan and his group left.
Another figure climbed up the precipitous cliff.
They appeared before the giants.
A dark wizard, Yaxley, who is outwardly a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic, and a Death Eater!
Simultaneously.
It's also the start of the school year.
One of the two sent to monitor the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's movements and find Ethan's weakness.
"Phew, phew... I finally made it to the top!"
Yaxley was panting.
His fierce face, covered in thick, fleshy muscles, was covered in sweat.
Gazing at the enormous figure slowly moving through the mist.
He grinned, muttering with a mixture of greed and amazement, "What an amazing physique... Just looking at it, you can feel a raw, brute strength!"
"As long as we can win over these idiots who only know how to act recklessly."
"Our Death Eaters' fighting strength will definitely increase dramatically!"
He came here today.
This was in accordance with the plan left behind by Voldemort:
Subdue the giants and the werewolves.
This will allow these forces, which have been excluded from the orthodox wizarding world, to...
Become their strength!
"Don't worry, Master..."
'
Yaxley muttered, a resolute glint of malice flashing in his eyes: "I'm not like those other opportunistic fools. I will proactively gather strength and clear all obstacles for your resurrection!"
One giant race—that's the first step!
although.
Actually.
The first step should be "taming the werewolf".
Yaxley thought with frustration.
Let alone "subdued".
I almost got captured by those awful werewolves.
Offer it to Ethan as a prize in exchange for a precious healing potion!
He recalled how he had fled in a sorry state, surrounded by countless claws and fangs.
Yaxley couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment!
"Ethan Vincent...! You do have some skill, but your master is still superior!"
He touched the gift he had prepared in his pocket, a determined glint in his eyes!
Giants are born with a love for violence and bloodshed.
As long as you cater to their preferences.
It won't be difficult to subdue them!
Yaxley lifted his foot and stepped into the giants' territory.
He was quickly introduced to the leader.
When faced with that majestic figure, as imposing as a mountain range.
Even Yaxley, who prided himself on his composure, couldn't help but feel his heart race.
This further strengthened their belief in obtaining the giant race!
He bowed respectfully and said, "Respected Lord Gugo, I have come on the orders of the Black Demon King to seek your help..."
'
Yaxley began to recount the story methodically.
But they didn't notice.
The atmosphere around them grew increasingly somber, filled with the presence of giants.
You tell me—who do you want to hit?
Yaxley: "...This is a small tribute to us: a giant axe that can split mountains."
talking.
With a clang, he pulled the giant axe from the bag, which was enchanted with a smudge-free stretching spell.
A shimmering silver surface with thick, intricate magical patterns.
Huge size.
Only a giant could wield it.
Indeed, it was a gift that hit the mark with the giants.
They saw the giant leader staring intently at the giant axe.
Yaxley's expression grew increasingly smug and confident.
It's as if I can already see it.
He led his vast tribe of giants to crush the grandeur of Hogwarts!
After a long while.
The leader's booming voice came from above: "Who did you just say your enemy was?"
Yaxley was taken aback, not expecting the leader to pay attention to this issue.
Without much thought, he answered frankly, "Mainly, it's a wizard named Ethan Vincent."
"He is the greatest obstacle blocking Lord Dark Lord's path to conquest; we are determined to tear him to pieces!"
His words were filled with ruthlessness.
Yaxley was also convinced.
Giants would certainly enjoy this kind of violence and killing.
as predicted.
The giant leader reached down and grabbed the giant axe.
He picked it up with a loud thud.
He brandished it a couple of times, then nodded and said, "Indeed, it's a good weapon."
Yaxley's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Then, I look forward to our cooperation."
"Perfect, we can use your head to sharpen this giant axe."
"6
"...What?"
Upon hearing the leader's words, Yaxley's smile froze on his face.
Staring wide-eyed in stunned disbelief.
I began to doubt my own ears.
What should I use to sharpen it? Me?
Is there some misunderstanding?
however.
When Yaxley finally noticed the giants slowly closing in on him.
Only then did I belatedly realize:
These giants never intended to cooperate from the very beginning!
What the hell?! They actually want to get his gift for free?!
When did giants become so intelligent?!
"Why?!"
Yaxley shouted in panic and anger.
Looking at the leader's mocking yet cold expression, I felt like I was the stupid one.
The leader did not answer.
He simply raised the weapon he had just picked up high with both hands and shouted in a deep voice, "For Ethan Vincent—our mighty and benevolent king!"
"Kill this evil man!!!"
Hearing that familiar name.
It was as if the cork had been suddenly pulled off.
Yaxley's thoughts suddenly became clear.
Once again, he fell behind Ethan, and that damned brat beat him to it by subduing the giants!
Giants may be dull-witted.
But they were extremely loyal.
Not to mention, Ethan didn't even know what outrageous method he used.
He became the "King" of the giants, despite being human!
Is this reasonable? !
Looking at the giant hands rushing in from all directions.
And the giant axe that came crashing down on them.
Yaxley made a wasted trip and even got a precious magical weapon stolen for free.
My heart felt as if it had been ravaged by a giant monster.
I'm so frustrated I could explode!
He threw his head back and let out a bloodcurdling roar: "Ethan Vincent—!!!"
at the foot of the mountain.
[Soul Fusion Increased by 0.1%]
"Um?"
Ethan looked at the suddenly appearing notification and a small question mark appeared above his head.
What's going on?
Is the system malfunctioning? Why did it suddenly increase my soul fusion level?
Ethan turned his head.
Looking at the towering mountains that reach into the clouds.
She flashed a perfectly innocent and sunny smile: "Someone must have been amazed by my amazing achievements and is praising me, right?"
"hey-hey"
"6~
Back to Hogwarts.
When he heard that Ethan had successfully reached an agreement with the giants.
Dumbledore smiled and clapped his hands in approval.
When he heard that Ethan had eliminated his deputy who had instigated the rebellion and taken the opportunity to conquer the giants, becoming their "new king," he was overjoyed.
Dumbledore remained silent.
In the principal's office, the portraits on the wall also remained silent.
Dumbledore even came up with a...
Ethan is a "fully automatic conquest machine," capable of conquering anything he's placed in!
The efficiency is a bit too high!
S
"...You did a great job, Ethan."
Dumbledore concluded with a relieved smile.
As for how future generations will evaluate him—well, by then he'll be long gone, so who cares!
Dumbledore handed over a money bag: "Thank you for your help, Mr. Vincent."
Ethan took the bag.
Feeling its heavy weight, I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
Satisfied, he put away the money pouch and nodded, saying, "I accept your respect, Old Deng... Boss."
Dumbledore:
'
'
Dumbledore skillfully ignored Ethan's overstepping of bounds.
joke.
Let alone just saying a few words.
Ethan can ride on his head if he wants!
Dumbledore: "After school starts, I will also add fifty points to Ravenclaw for your outstanding contributions."
O
Ethan smiled and said, "Hehe, Professor Flitwick will be very pleased."
"Well—" Dumbledore paused, then asked doubtfully, "Are you sure the giants would be willing to live in the Forbidden Forest?"
"There's enough space, but... aren't there many indigenous people in the Forbidden Forest?"
Dumbledore was being tactful.
Aside from unicorns and centaurs.
None of the magical creatures currently existing in the Forbidden Forest are "indigenous"!
The Norwegian Spinosaurus, the Bird of Death, and the wolf riders who only appear at night...
And the illegal hybrid beast that Hagrid secretly stuffed inside.
The Forbidden Forest has become like a monster spawner!
However, in a sense...
The forest ban has actually made it safer.
The black dragon dwells deep within the Forbidden Forest, and Ethan's dead bird will throw any students who intrude into the forest.
And the lost wolf knight who guards the moonflower.
They would snipe students from 800 meters away.
It's impossible to get close at all.
The creatures Ethan left behind will not harm the students.
although.
This has led to a surge in students' enthusiasm for the ban on forests.
Dumbledore also heard that...
Hogwarts secretly formed a "Forbidden Forest Exploration Team".
Specifically, it happens late at night when everyone is quiet.
They went on an adventure into the forbidden forest.
Needless to say, the leaders of this organization are all brave Glenn "points-less" (a derogatory term for young men).
Hehe~ Ah, youth~
Dumbledore thought with a chuckle.
Ethan: "That's right, the giants would love to live in the Forbidden Forest! If we didn't let them come, they would be so sad they'd cry."
Hagrid nodded vigorously beside him.
Regardless of what Ethan said.
It's all correct if you're absolutely certain.
"Is it that serious?"
Dumbledore was taken aback and murmured, "So, giants are a race that likes to live together with other species... Okay, I understand."
Dumbledore looked up and smiled. "Then let's do it that way, Mr. Vincent."
"I'll need your help to relocate using the portal for a while now."
A portal that can silently and stealthily relocate.
That's a really powerful tool.
"no problem."
Ethan made an "OK" gesture.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then, could I trouble you to help me gather as much detailed information as possible about the Founding Titan?"
That's all history from the ancient, barbaric era.
All that has been preserved are the stone tablet and bone fragments.
They are extremely precious and are all kept in the Department of Mysterious Affairs.
Only someone like Dumbledore could lend it out.
"The Founding Titan? Heh, what a studious child."
Dumbledore smiled and didn't ask why.
Instead, she pinched her index finger and thumb together and said playfully, "It's OK on my end too."
"~
Upon seeing this.
Ethan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Then he smiled, his eyes crinkling, and he genuinely laughed.
After Ethan and Hagrid left.
On the wall.
"The most annoying headmaster of all time," Phineas Black scoffed. "You haven't told him about it yet."
The Order of the Phoenix.
"Ha, all that talk, but in the end, it's still just a lack of trust in that brat!"
Dumbledore took off his glasses and wiped them.
There was no argument.
Instead, he put his glasses back on and gazed intently into the principal's office at a newly added painting—his sister, Ariana.
Because of the incompleteness of the soul.
Ariana spends most of the day asleep.
But for Dumbledore...
It's just to be able to see her again, or even touch her.
That would already be a blessing in this life.
For a long time.
Dumbledore sighed deeply and said slowly, "If I could, I wouldn't want any child to know about the existence of the Order of the Phoenix... This shouldn't be their concern in the first place."
"I often reflect on whether it was the right thing to entrust Ethan with difficult tasks and make him shoulder the burden of the magic world too early, just because he is powerful."
"Hmph," Phineas Black rolled his eyes, "I bet that kid's having a good time!"
Dumbledore looked away.
Unconsciously stroking the old wand with its protruding knot, he made the final decision: "Let's discuss the Order of the Phoenix matter again."
"Giants, Defense Against the Dark Arts professor..."
'
"Ethan already has a lot to do, so let's not add to his burden."
As he spoke, Dumbledore laughed again: "Anyway, after school starts, Harry and the others will tell Ethan about the Order of the Phoenix."
After all, it has the nickname "Hogwarts the Great Leaky Spoon".
It wasn't for free.
just.
What Dumbledore didn't know was...
Ethan had already visited the Order of the Phoenix at 12 Grimmauld Place.
They also brought out and destroyed one of Voldemort's Horcruxes from the Order of the Phoenix—
Salazar Slytherin's locket.
at this time.
As if struck by a sudden inspiration, Ethan remembered this matter.
"Oh, right!"
Ethan snapped his fingers.
"I've been so busy that I've forgotten about the Order of the Phoenix."
"Hmm~ Perfect timing, Harry's birthday is coming up soon too."
"We can use a new painting to surprise them!"
Ethan made up his mind.
He laughed innocently.
the other side.
Harry Potter, far away at his ancestral home on Sirius Black.
For some reason, I suddenly felt a chill.
It seems like... something dirty is watching us.
