But after thinking about it carefully, the Queen felt that this was probably the reason.
As for the people who died unfortunately, she had no reason to blame Dumbledore.
The principal had done what he was supposed to do. He informed the kingdom of the specific location where the "disaster" would land in advance, leaving enough time for all residents near the coast to evacuate safely.
It was us who failed to seize the opportunity.
Although the rock giant was attracted to the kingdom by Hogwarts, the Queen will not resent Dumbledore for this.
the reason is simple.
The rock giant has already demonstrated his strength, which is beyond human capability to handle.
If there was no Hogwarts, it would only be a matter of time before it came to the kingdom.
The Queen took a deep breath and said, "Lee, bring a TV over here."
Li moved quickly. In ten minutes, he led three maids and placed the LCD monitor directly opposite the big bed.
After sending a few people away, the Queen held the remote control and turned on the TV, murmuring, "Although it's unlikely... I still hope Toby and the others are okay."
…………
"It...did it on purpose?"
Lying on his back on the edge of the deep pit, Leon asked intermittently while taking deep breaths.
“Who…who…who did this on purpose?”
Toby, whose breathing was also disordered, barely raised his head, and when he saw Misha half-sitting up not far away, he replied stutteringly.
"Oh my God." After a short breath, Lyon, who was not injured, recovered a lot. Although his tone was still panic, it was finally continuous.
Looking sideways at the rock giant retreating into the mountains, he continued, "Do you think that we are not only strong enough to withstand that punch just now,
And flew from the city center to the outside in the blink of an eye?"
As he spoke, he staggered to his feet, hobbled to the edge of the pit, and looked down.
The hole was not in the shape of a fist, but rather a meteorite crater. Leon speculated that the rock giant's punch was too heavy, causing the violent air pressure to move the soil away.
Toby, who had regained his senses, also stood up and stumbled to his side: "You mean, the rock giant let us go?
Or the mysterious young man named Soran?"
“Shh—” Leon nervously raised his index finger and pressed it against his lips, “It’s not gone.”
Toby subconsciously tensed his muscles and asked with a pinched throat, "Where?"
Without saying a word, Leon pointed toward the mountain.
Among the rolling hills, a rock giant with a majestic figure like the main mountain range squats with his legs folded, as if he has fallen asleep.
His hunched shoulders slowly dropped, and Toby patted his chest: "What's wrong with it?"
"It's waiting for someone." Misha, whose clothes were covered in dust, came over. "It's waiting for Headmaster Dumbledore."
"I can understand, Headmaster. The purpose of its and its master's coming here is Hogwarts.
But... why did you send us out of the range of your fist, Soran? Or..." Leon
The little girl scratched her face and guessed hesitantly: "Maybe... well... the possibility of a rock giant is more certain."
"What's the reason?"
“Friends, it considers us as friends.
The three of us are just insignificant freshmen, and Mr. Soran should not refuse its request to spare us."
Leon suddenly realized, turned his head and continued to look at the deep pit.
Toby, on the other side, stared at Misha with a strange look in his eyes.
He noticed very early on that this little girl had a strange personality.
Innocence and immaturity are not disguised, but the occasional reveal of sophistication and maturity are real.
At one point, Toby even hesitated whether she, who had two completely opposite temperaments in one, was suffering from schizophrenia.
"Uncle Toby?" Feeling someone staring at her, Misha looked at Toby puzzledly, her clear eyes revealing a childlike innocence.
If he wasn't sure that she had no sinister intentions, Toby felt that he would definitely stay away from her.
I sighed in my heart, while saying: "It's okay, I just checked if you were hurt."
"Lisa is very healthy!" She raised her fist and smiled.
"Of course it is very..."
Suddenly, there was a loud and deafening sound of propellers in the sky. The three looked up and saw a helicopter flying overhead, approaching a giant rock in the distant mountains.
The helicopter's cabin door was open, and a reporter holding a microphone, ignoring the fact that his hair was blown backwards and stuck to his head, spoke passionately into the microphone.
"Damn it!" Toby's face suddenly changed. "Are they crazy? They actually used a helicopter to film the giant?!"
I'm not worried about their safety, but my own.
Everyone is sleeping now, so you just need to leave quietly.
But if it is woken up, no one present will be able to escape the trampling of its broad paws.
"Stop him quickly..."
"I asked them to come."
A voice was heard behind them, and the three turned around. The white-bearded principal was standing there with a smile.
"Principal Grandpa! You are finally here!"
Misha strode over and was held by the principal under the armpits and hugged into his arms: "Let me see who bullied our lovely little lady?"
"Principal." She choked up and couldn't speak for a long time. Toby was a little anxious and stopped waiting for her. "The guards' convoy will set off soon. If the rock giant is awakened,
They will all die in..."
"Don't worry, it can only stay here, I said."
The relaxed tone soothed Toby's anxiety, and he relaxed a little: "I'm just afraid that the team will be accidentally injured. After all, that guy is too majestic."
"Isn't it majestic..." Dumbledore put Misha down and looked at the rock giant who was squatting with his arms around his thighs. "Sauron, I haven't seen you for many years."
"You are still so long-winded and like to pretend to be profound." The casual tone seemed to be heard by everyone.
Glancing overhead at the helicopter emitting a bright white beam of light, he clenched his right hand in front of him, and a teaching stick and staff appeared in his hand.
"I will send you back to where you should go, just like that year."
"Come and fight!!!"
Chapter 246: The Mountain Gate Team Arrives, the Confused Trio
Today is an extremely magical day for all the Chinese people who are watching the news and those who are called by their loved ones to watch it together.
The story begins when I turn on the TV in the early morning.
As we all know, villains must exist in any work that contains a story.
It does not necessarily refer to a specific person, it can be an imaginary abstract concept, such as the hardships of life, the illness that torments the body, or even a rainstorm that comes at an inappropriate time.
But most of the time, the villains in the story are real people, such as the devil who seduces people, the vicious enemy, or the neighbor upstairs who always likes to dance in high heels.
Readers hate the devil who brings disaster to the world for no reason, but few people really think they can meet him around them.
If someone kept muttering to him worriedly, "Maybe tomorrow a Godzilla will fall from the sky, destroy our house, and take our family's lives, just like what is shown on TV."
Then he would surely burst into the most strident laughter, "Come on, that's a work of art, a product of fantasy."
But this morning, I saw a rock giant on the lit display screen. It was so huge that the towering mountains could only highlight its majestic figure.
He couldn't laugh anymore.
The first thing he did was to raise his hand and pinch his thigh. The piercing pain made it clear that he was not in a dream.
Then, through multiple channels - the Internet, television, etc., it was confirmed that the news station was officially owned by the kingdom, rather than an unknown self-media in some corner.
After the above behavior, he probably accepted the reality and shouted wildly to attract his family to watch the rock giant standing in the mountains on TV together.
This scene is happening or has happened in the vast majority of families in Ying country.
The perspective of filming the giant is looking down from the sky. There is the roar of propellers outside the camera. The host holds the door with one hand, his mouth close to the microphone held in the other hand, and passionately narrates the origin of the giant.
Rock Giant, this is the name of the big rock guy that the citizens heard from the host.
At this moment, it seems to be confronting a certain existence. The faint blue flames in its deep eye sockets and the heavy sense of oppression emanating outward can be clearly felt by the audience even through the TV.
The host is still reporting the specific situation.
They learned that the big guy standing there was not friendly.
It made landfall yesterday at midnight, flattening the coastal city of Pasha with one blow.
When the camera turned to the deep pit on the other side at the right time, the audience who thought that "razed to the ground" was just an exaggeration realized that the host was still conservative in his wording.
When the audience in front of the TV saw this, they were all wondering why the kingdom did not send out the army.
Humans have been at the top of the food chain for so long that they subconsciously believe that there are no creatures on the blue planet that can rival them.
Even if the opponent is as tall as a mountain, mountains are nothing that humans cannot blow apart.
However, their confusion was soon resolved.
The live broadcast on the TV screen switched to a two-minute video, the content of which was simple and crude - a joint fleet consisting of three aircraft carrier formations was swept into the seabed by the big guy's arms like sweeping garbage.
And the various missiles released by humans didn't even scratch anyone's skin.
When the Rock Giant appeared on the screen again, the audience finally had a concrete concept of it - it was not a big, honest baby with a burly body, but a terrifying monster that could destroy a kingdom.
Looking at the giant rock standing still, the audience naturally has new questions: Why is it standing still?
Hogwarts has been announced in Ying Country for some time. Although it is rare for citizens to have close contact with wizards, they finally have an idea of its existence.
So they quickly came to the answer - the magician was dealing with it.
As if to verify the speculation, the TV screen turned to the left and froze on a mountain.
It was quite far away and I couldn’t see clearly what was on the mountain top covered with lush trees.
