The second weekend at Hogwarts soon arrived, and Levin and Hermione decided to take advantage of their free time between classes to visit the Magical Creatures Sanctuary on the Isle of Man.

Since Hermione wanted to formulate an industrial grouping and new industrial investment plan, of course she had to conduct an on-site inspection in order to have a more intuitive understanding of their magical creature-related industries.

Although the sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly, the wind was strong, so Levin teleported Hermione directly from the tower to the entrance of the sanctuary.

They followed the signs in the reserve, passed through a huge stone gate, and arrived at the giant reserve.

"Hermione, look over there." Levin's voice floated in the wind. He stretched out his arm and pointed to a huge field surrounded by forests in the distance, "That's the training ground for the giants."

Hermione looked in the direction of Levin's finger, and an unexpected picture appeared in her pupils.

She originally thought that the giant's training ground would be a primitive valley or cave, but the scene in front of her completely subverted her imagination.

The flat cement site extends into the distance, with rows of tall bungalows built on the edge.

Various enlarged versions of training equipment are placed on the field: dumbbells as towering as hills, thigh-thick iron chains for giants to practice climbing on rockeries, etc.

Wooden piles and stone walls stood firmly around the site, acting as sandbags. The most eye-catching thing is the cross-country training field composed of boulders, giant trees and potholes. Just this

The site occupies several acres of land.

The scene in front of me is obviously an enlarged version of the military camp hidden in the forest.

Before he finished speaking, a rumble of footsteps suddenly sounded, and the earth seemed to be shaking.

They all turned around and saw a giant over seven meters tall walking towards them.

The giant's skin was pale, slightly khaki, and he wore a black horned camel fur coat. The smooth leather surface shone with a deep luster in the sunlight, and his shiny bald head reflected dazzling light in the sunlight.

The giant raised his fist expressionlessly, and Hermione noticed that his fist was embedded with a metal finger tiger engraved with magic-breaking runes. I saw him punching the stone wall beside him, and the stone wall that had been casted with [Solidization Technique] collapsed, causing dust to fly everywhere.

Hermione looked at the giant in the distance with disbelief in her eyes.

"Are those all giants?" Hermione's voice was full of doubts, her eyes lingering on those tall figures, "It's different from what I learned in the book."

The giants in the book were deformed, ugly, and looked like dirty savages, which were completely different from the ones in front of them.

Levin smiled softly, with a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: "The original giants were indeed lazy, fat, and miserable all day long. However, the giants you see now have been carefully trained by us. "

He pointed at the giants on the training ground and continued: "They receive formal training every day. Not only do their bodies become stronger, but their discipline is also greatly improved."

Hermione followed Levin's hand and saw that the giants were holding up the black horned animal double-breasted fur coat. Their muscles looked extremely developed in the sun. Their movements were neat and uniform, and every movement revealed a sense of power. .

Hermione couldn't help but lament that using "fine" to describe these giants was too modest.

Just then, Hermione's attention was drawn to the other side of the training ground.

A giant wearing a horned camel fur coat walked alone to the middle of the field. The wizards who trained the giants began to release various attack spells on him, but the giant stood still like a mountain, motionless.

Although after more than a year of experience, she had witnessed the rise of Voldemort, witnessed the dirty political struggle below the water, and personally managed a huge organization, "Hermione is not just that little witch who has never seen the dark side.

But after seeing someone starting to use [Fireball Technique] on the giant, she was still worried because of her kind nature.

"Levin, how come these giants are so obedient?" she couldn't help but ask, "Are they just willing to stand there and get beaten? Is it true that nothing will happen to them if you cast a spell on them like this?"

Levin stood behind Hermione. He heard Hermione's worries and smiled softly:

"You don't need to worry about [Fireball] being a magic spell that will take away their lives, Hermione. They have gone through our special training and are used to such attacks. Moreover, the giant's skin already has powerful magic. With their ability to resist and the horned camel leather armor they wear, these spells are nothing to them."

Hermione turned her head and looked into Levin's eyes: "But, that's [Fireball]."

[Fireball] is one of the most destructive spells among the three-ring spells. From Hermione's experience, except for the fire dragon, "there are basically no creatures that can eat so many destruction balls head-on."

"Yes, but so what." Levin nodded, "Compared to [Fireball], the giant's defensive ability is more powerful. The horned camel leather armor is a very precious defensive material, and its defensive ability is even better than that of the fire dragon. The leather is even better. Most spells cannot cause substantial damage to the horned beast leather armor. Of course, if a powerful wizard like Voldemort or Dumbledore uses the [Killing Curse], the giant may suffer some injuries. . However, the spells used by ordinary wizards do not pose a threat to them."

After Levin finished speaking, he pointed at the pale and yellowish skin of the giants: "Hermione, do you think the skin color of these giants is different from the giants in the book?"

Hermione nodded with a questioning look on her face.

"This is because they took the powerful [Stoneskin] potion that I improved." Levin said proudly: "I changed the formula of the [Stoneskin] potion. Some of the medicinal materials in the original formula were very rare and expensive. , I replaced it with some cheaper materials but with more serious side effects. The [Stoneskin] potion created in this way is more powerful, at the cost of some side effects. These side effects may be fatal to human wizards, but the giants But I can bear it easily.”

Hermione asked curiously after hearing this: "Side effects? What impact will that have on them?"

Levin explained: "If a wizard takes a powerful [Stoneskin] potion, the powerful earth element energy in it will directly turn him into a stone statue, but this will not happen if it is placed on a giant. At most, their hair will fall off and they will become a stone statue." As they become bald, their skin will gradually turn into earth elements. But these are the prices that must be paid in order to enhance their defense capabilities."

Levin gently tapped Hermione on the shoulder, directing her attention to the three giants on the other side of the field.

They were towering, like three moving hills, but now they formed a triangle, throwing huge stone balls at each other. The stone balls jumped lightly in their hands, and the smiles on their faces showed that they were immersed in this simple entertainment.

"Did you see it, Hermione?" There was a hint of pride in Levin's voice. "In the past, giants always liked to smash everything with sticks, fight with each other, or kill animals in the forest for fun. Now their entertainment methods are civilized."

Hermione nodded, but the confusion in her eyes did not completely dissipate: "Yes, I saw it. But, Levin, how did you do it? The personalities of these giants seem to be completely different from those described in the book."

She didn't understand, ".||The book said that giants are usually violent, irritable, lazy and undisciplined creatures. But the giants here give people a very orderly feeling. What is going on? thing?"

Levin explained: "This is all due to the power of the slave contract. Every giant who comes here will sign a slave contract with me. This contract gives me the right to punish them at any time to ensure that they can abide by our rules." Regulation.

He paused and pointed to some giants working in the distance: "Look, they are all obedient now, right? This is the effectiveness of the slavery contract. I have given some authority to the staff here so that they can Punish the giants when they go berserk.”

So Levin continued to introduce: "This depends on the slavery contract. Every giant here has signed a slavery contract with me. Through the contract, I have the power to punish them at any time. Now I will hand over part of the authority of the contract to We have hired the staff here, allowing them to punish the giants when they are disobedient, and in this way encourage them to obey discipline."

"But, Levin, is it really appropriate to rely solely on punishment to maintain order?" Hermione frowned as she listened.

Levin nodded, understanding Hermione's concerns: "Your concerns are justified, Hermione. Indeed, punishment alone is not enough. Therefore, we have also set up a reward system. For those who behave well and are willing to take the initiative to cooperate For the giants, we will give them more meat, spices and other rewards. In this way, they will be motivated to abide by our regulations."

He smiled slightly (Qian De) and continued: "Moreover, I also used [Enlightenment Magic] on these giants. This magic can improve their intelligence level and make them more aware of their actions and responsibilities. . You see, now they can all communicate simply in English, although there are still some problems with their accents."

"But, won't this destroy the original culture and nature of giants?" Hermione always felt that Levin's behavior and the education she received - at least the education she received in Muggle society, "I always feel that such a giant is not like They are giants. Moreover, using a slavery contract to change them seems a bit...too much delay?"

"Of course the giant will destroy the original culture and nature by doing this," Levin sneered, "But Hermione, you know? No one is born willing to live the life of a 'primitive man, digging holes', right? Not everything is original. That's right - the so-called 'original ecology' is just a label imposed on people by us civilized people in order to satisfy our own curiosity. On this point, I especially dislike the Muggle government of the United States."

He sighed and said earnestly: "It is true that Muggles' ideas are more advanced than wizards in many aspects, but they are only more advanced than wizards. This does not mean that they are all right. For example, here, we must admit, Giants are also creatures with thoughts and feelings, and they should also have the right to choose a better way of life,"
