Admiral of Hogwarts

??

In fact, Richelieu and the others are not human supremacists. At least for the ship girls, except for their companions and admirals, all other creatures are similar in their eyes.

There was only one reason why they went on a killing spree to kill all these trolls and giants, and that was because these guys actually chose to feed on intelligent creatures, breaking through their bottom line.

After all, they are ship girls, and the warships of the main body are the crystallization of human wisdom and civilization. Therefore, their moral tendencies are not much different from humans. Naturally, we cannot accept this extremely barbaric behavior.

Of course, there is an objective reason for them to do this. That is, both giants and trolls are aggressive and irritable, so once they fight, they will fight to the death and there will be no prisoners at all.

After confirming that all these giants and monsters were killed, Hugo walked towards the female giant who was tied on the ground. Because of the battle just now, the giantess was covered in smelly blood and looked even more embarrassed. "

I'm a good person, a good person. "After watching Richelieu approaching her step by step with the saber in hand, the giantess showed a look of fear on her face, and at the same time she kept shouting in French.

However, Richelieu did not shout at her with a knife. Instead, he walked to her and used the knife in his hand to cut off the ropes that bound her one by one, and then asked her to sit up.

"Huh?" Hugo made a surprised sound just as the giant sat up and let the flames illuminate his face. Because this giant's appearance was completely different from what he remembered.

As we all know, the biggest feature of giants being called giants is their huge size. Male giants are about 7m~7m5 in height as adults, while female giants are shorter.

In addition, apart from being mixed with human wizards, the biggest characteristics of giants are their rough skin and ugly appearance. It doesn't even look like a gigantic human being in appearance.

But the giantess in front of her was completely different. She had long flame-like hair hanging on her head, and under the long hair was a face that was rough but not ugly by human standards.

More importantly, her body is not deformed from human eyes like a real giant, but looks very strong. Overall, she is like the female barbarian in Hugo's previous game Diablo, only bigger. That’s just too much.

To be honest, if she hadn't looked at least 7m tall, Hugo might have suspected that he was a hybrid giant rather than a real giant.

In addition to his appearance, this giant's skin is also noticeably smoother. It is not as rough as stone like other giants, but has a bronze color.

The bronze here isn't just a color statement, because the giantess's skin actually glows like something metallic when illuminated by the flames. "Atavistic giant, this kind of giant actually exists!"

Richelieu also noticed the metallic light on the giantess, and stepped forward to touch the giant's skin.

Seeing what Richelieu did, Hugo showed a nervous look on his face. Because the giants might start fighting just by looking at each other, let alone touching them directly like this.

But surprisingly, this female giant not only showed no anger. Instead, when Richelieu stretched out his hand to touch himself, he obediently sat down on his knees, and then stretched out his arm so that Richelieu could touch him.

Seeing this scene, Hugo realized that in addition to their habitual rage, the giants had a tradition that the strong was king. For example, the leaders of their tribes were basically the biggest and most capable of fighting in the tribe.

Therefore, a strong man like Richelieu who just used pure physical attacks to kill two giants easily in a very short period of time will naturally gain respect and even be regarded as the object of their heartfelt worship by the giants.

"This giant is different from normal giants." After a brief inspection, Richelieu came to a conclusion. "Her skin feels closer to a rough-skinned human than a rock. But a little tougher."

"What does this mean?" After hearing Richelieu's conclusion, Hugo asked, "I just heard you talk about the atavistic giant. Can you tell me what this atavistic giant is? Why have I never had one? I’ve heard of this type of news.”

"General, it's normal that you haven't heard of this, because these things are hidden by wizards." Richelieu looked at Hugo and said, "If Javelin hadn't entered training early because of his outstanding performance, we wouldn't have known. this--"

Following Richelieu's explanation, Hugo also understood the secret. The so-called atavistic giants can be regarded as the most powerful group of giants. They are naturally considered leaders and elites among giants. .

Different from ordinary giants. In addition to being higher in physical strength and power than ordinary giants, these giants also have obvious advantages in intelligence, and they also master the inheritance of giants.

And they are easy to judge from their appearance. Compared with other weird-looking giants, atavistic giants look more like enlarged versions of strong humans, and are much more beautiful than ordinary giants.

As said before, giants are not trolls, they are a standard civilized race. Therefore, it is natural to have some unique knowledge and civilization inheritance of its own.

The reason why the giants are becoming more and more barbaric now, and even degenerate to the point where the giant monsters are no longer strong, is related to these atavistic giants, because they mistakenly got involved in the civil war between wizards.

These atavistic giants are closer to humans because of their way of thinking. So naturally you will have all kinds of complex thoughts and desires. As a result, during the two wizarding civil wars, they were easily seduced by dark wizards and joined the war.

Although the giants cannot cast spells, under the command of these atavistic giants, those giants still caused huge damage to wizards during the war with their powerful magic resistance and equipment.

But in the end, the dark wizard side they supported failed, and was strictly controlled by wizards throughout the wizarding world to this day. Because of this failure, the atavistic giant suddenly changed from the leader of the giants to the public enemy of the giants.

"This is one of the reasons why the White Deer lady was almost killed." Richelieu pointed to the giantess sitting next to her with a nervous expression on her knees and said. "They are now considered by many giants to be a symbol of disaster."

So this is ah. Hugo nodded, and then asked further. "Then why do they call them atavistic giants?" Is it because the ancient giants all looked like them? "

"Of course not. If that were the case, it wouldn't be human beings' turn to become the most powerful creature on earth." Richelieu smiled and shook his head. "This is just a name given to them by wizards. Their own name should be giants."

"The reason why wizards call them atavistic giants is because the early giants were even regarded as gods by ordinary people in that era when the magical world was not separated from the ordinary world, but they certainly cannot be called god giants in terms of title. "

For creatures like giants, bigness is beauty. Therefore, from this naming, we can see the respect and envy of ordinary giants for this atavistic giant.

But because these atavistic giants almost completely disappeared during wars and civil strife, and because the wizards' original human supremacism was unwilling to admit that there were giants as smart as humans.

So after the Second Wizarding War, wizards slowly erased all traces of their existence in the wizarding world. Only those considered elite Aurors and a portion of the Ministry of Magic staff are aware of their existence.

"If that's the case, I have a question." Hugo asked after listening to Richelieu finish telling the story about the atavistic giant. "Then what happened to our Miss Bailu? Why did she appear here alone?"
