Early the next morning, after the two got up and packed, Ryan asked Hermione to wait for him in the hotel lobby, and then he went out alone. A minute later, a small white off-road vehicle with double doors came to the door of the hotel. The glass shook down and Lane's face appeared in the buggy. "Okay, let's go."

"Where did this car come from?" Hermione asked when she was wearing a seatbelt. "It looks so rough!"

"I saw a used car shop over there on the way yesterday, so I spent two thousand dollars to buy the car just now. Do n’t look at the roughness of this car, but the Russian Ladaniva is a good car. Cars. Especially this time we have to go through a lot of places with bad road conditions. If there is no off-road vehicle, it is not difficult to get past, at least it is better than walking on two legs. "Ryan said holding the steering wheel.

"You can squint for a while." Lane said to Hermione. "There are about three hundred kilometers from here to our destination. According to the information I bought from Knock Lane, the giants are now hiding in a valley in the Ural Mountains. We are now driving down the road Drive north to Lower Tula, and from there to the west to Mount Wula. "

"Is your information accurate?" Hermione asked curiously. "In theory, shouldn't the places where the giants hide are a secret?"

"Not exactly, we have n’t heard of it just because many wizards do n’t care where they are, as long as they know they are far away. Their specific location is considered to be general information in Diagon Alley, I only spend Thirty gallons mixed this information with a dozen other information and bought it together. "

On the way to the outskirts, Ryan saw no one around, so he stopped the car and waved to open the space door to release two things.

"Is this, we?" Hermione immediately saw what the two things that Ryan put in the back seat were the two-person 11-puppets. They were extremely well-made and could not be seen as dummies at all.

"Yes, I will use them to make our proof of absence." Ryan briefly introduced, "This thing is very simple to do, because there is no need to think about the circuit and save a lot of things."

"So how can they be made to look like us? Are you remotely controlled?" Hermione was a little curious about such unseen things.

"Of course not." A young girl's voice sounded, Rose Crystal opened the space door and drilled out. "That's too complicated. In fact, let my elder brother's doll carry a bag and let me drill the remote control in the bag. Then I can take the opportunity to play around here." After finishing the rose crystal, he raised his hand. Something waved at them, and only then did Ryan find that the little doll was holding a guide map and a camera, which were all prepared in advance. It seems that after telling Rose Crystal more than a month ago, she was ready for this trip.

After saying goodbye to Rose Crystal, watching the two puppets get out of the car, Ryan and the two of them use faceless tricks to change their appearance through makeup in the car. Before returning to Yekaterinburg, they will wear the local style. Tatar and Russian faces act.

When it was noon, the two men came to Xia Tula bravely, this is a beautiful city. They were lucky and the weather was good along the way. So that they can get here smoothly along the road.

After getting off the bus, Lane and Hermione came to a small restaurant together. As a Russian in winter, there is nothing to eat in this place especially when the economy is not good, so the two people only need a large plate of Russian dumplings with beef filling. By the way, I asked for another pot of beet soup.

After sitting down and looking around, they found that the shop was small and the decoration was very simple. It should be that the houses facing the street opened directly with a sign. Fortunately, the cleaning is very clean, and the aunt who is the boss is also very enthusiastic.

"How come you young people from this field come here in this weather?" The aunt asked after she put on the dumplings.

"Compared to ours, this place can be regarded as warm." Ryan pretended that he and Hermione were high school couples traveling from Yakutsk. "We have already had a winter holiday there, so I took the opportunity to take a look at the great Ural Mountains recorded in this book." Fortunately, Russia also belongs to the yellow race and the white race, so Ryan said himself The aunt from the Far East naturally believed.

"Yakutsk? No wonder!" The aunt showed a clear expression. "My son went to Yakutsk for a business trip this winter last year, but he told me that it was already over twenty degrees below zero, and he didn't even dare to go out when there was no car."

"Yeah." Lane agreed, "So we ran out to play, and we went to the mountains in the past two days, and then to Yekaterinburg. By the way, where is the nearby mountain more suitable for playing."

"Ah, a place suitable for young couples to play." Aunt's eyes said after turning around Ryan and Hermione's face. "You can follow the road to the west and walk a little into the mountains. There will be a lake. It will look beautiful after freezing in winter. From that lake, it will be a walkway to the south. Now when the snow is not very thick, you can turn around. There are even a few cabins inside where you can spend the night. But remember to never go north. "The aunt warmly introduced the surrounding scenery, but the whole complexion of not allowing north went serious.

Len recalled the data at hand and found that the group of giants was in a valley more than 30 kilometers north of the lake. So I asked my aunt, "Why can't you go north?"

"It used to be no different from other places, but I didn't know what happened more than a decade ago. There was no way for everyone to pass there, and all the people who died in the past eventually died. Someone told us that the geology has changed drastically there People have encountered mountaineering accidents. When we went to the lake to play a few months ago, we heard a loud noise from the north. So you two should never pass. "Aunt warned seriously.

"In this case we must not pass." Ryan said, "We will go to the lake to play and come back in two or three days."

After paying in US dollars, Ryan and Hermione left the hotel. After sitting back in the car, Hermione asked, "Are you just asking the store owner where the giants are?"

"Yes." Ryan started the car. "Combining their news and what I know, I can now confirm that the giants are still there. We used to be able to block them."

The road in the mountains is difficult to walk, especially now when the water is dripping into ice. In some places Ryan and Hermione had to use magic to help the car get out of trouble. Of course, in order to minimize the possibility of exposure, they chose magic from other worlds. For example, manipulating shadow pads under the wheels to get the car out of the pit. Fortunately, because there are many people walking on this road, the road conditions are good. So it took just over an hour to get to the lake.

"The car can only be driven here, and then it's time to walk forward, let's go." Lane put the off-road vehicle into the world of radiation, and then entered the forest by the lake with Hermione and stepped into the forest. The snow is moving north.

Fortunately, the snow has not been heavy recently, and the snow in the forest is only ten centimeters thick. Along with the crunching sound of stepping on the snow, the two men walked forward in the still woods with their cane in one hand and the wand in one hand. Neither of the two said a few words in this section of the road, only to see the white fog rising from their mouths and noses.

"Okay, we're almost there." It was already night, and the sky was completely dark. The air in the Ural Mountains without industrial pollution is very fresh. Looking up through the gaps between the branches, you can see the beautiful Milky Way and the stars in the sky ~ www.novelhall.com ~ There is still silence around, only the sound of the wind blowing the treetops and the accumulation of the trees The sound of snow falling. At this moment, Ryan stopped and said.

"Are you here?" Hermione said, holding her cane and gasping gently, even if she hadn't put down her exercise and strengthened her body in the past few years, but the ten-hour snow trek also made Hermione feel that she felt very Fatigue, especially when she took only three or four breaks during the ten hours, which was not enough for an hour.

"Yes, I think there are traces of magic near this place. It should be coming soon." Ryan nodded, and Hermione saw Ryan summoned Xiaoqing out. Xiaoqing quickly turned into a pile of active rattan and scattered into the surrounding forest. "I asked Xiaoqing to investigate first. Harry and Hagrid told them that the Death Eaters sent by the mysterious man were also in the Giant Horde. I didn't want to fall into the trap and be beaten by them."

"Three Death Eaters, not two." Ryan closed his eyes and attached to Xiaoqing, and slowly opened his eyes after investigating the surroundings.

"What?" Hermione looked at Ryan.

"Hagrid said before that he saw two Death Eaters coming to the Giant Horde, but there were actually three Death Eaters coming here. One of them was separated from the other two, and it was always hidden in the dark. Free hand, "Ryan explained. "Okay, let's go. Xiaoqing has just detected a safer road just now."

Finally, under the leadership of Xiaoqing, the two climbed the last ridge along a winding route.
