Chapter 316 - Giant

Chapter 316 Giant
This was a huge room. In the middle of the room was a huge table. A Giant was sleeping on the table. The thunderous snoring was coming from this place.
It was an incomparably huge Giant. He looked to be no less than 100 meters tall. Sitting on a huge chair, he looked like a tall mountain. He looked exceptionally spectacular and gave off a strong sense of oppression.
“That’s great. He’s asleep. The Giant is asleep!”
“He’s sleeping really soundly!” The Gehrus had just discussed for a while when suddenly, the thunderous snoring stopped abruptly. The Giant raised his head. On his head, there was only one eye. It was right in the middle of his forehead. This eyeball was bigger than a person, and it was as round as a full moon.
The Gehrus were shocked and quickly stopped talking.
Heath’s heart tightened as well. He quickly led the Gehrus to a corner of the table and used the corner of the table to cover himself.
The Giant’s large eyes scanned the surroundings. There seemed to be some doubt in his eyes, and then his nose twitched again. In the end, he did not find anything, and he slowly fell asleep again.
‘His hearing is really sharp!’
Heath frowned. When the Giant’s gaze swept past him just now, he felt a strong sense of oppression for no reason. This was the oppression brought about by the powerful strength of a high-level magic life form. It was frightening
‘Let’s retreat and think about it first…’
Thinking about it, he immediately left the room and left the place far away, going to the corridor next door.
Heath stopped in his tracks.
The Gehrus who had been quiet for a while began to discuss again.
“What should we do next?”
“Maybe we can go over later and steal his key after he’s asleep. I saw it just now. The key is hanging around his neck. It must be the key to the treasure chest.”
Heath had also noticed that there was a rope tied to the Giant’s neck. At the end of the rope was a golden key.
Heath had also read about the legend of this golden key in a book. According to the legend, the Giant Areos had a treasure chest that contained the most precious treasure of Areos. That chest had the blessing of the Sea God and was indestructible, there was only one golden key that could be opened, and Areos kept the golden key close to him, carrying it with him wherever he went.
According to the explanation given by the Gehru and the others, the Heart of the Sea should be stored in that treasure chest. In other words, in order to get the Heart of the Sea, he had to get the key first…
Thinking about it, Heath confirmed again, “Are you sure? The Heart of the Sea is stored in that treasure chest?”
The Gehru said, “Gehru is sure. Gehru can’t be wrong!”
Heath was puzzled. “How do you know?”
“It was put there by Wizards. Every thirty years, Wizards will come here once. Wizards will put the Heart of the Sea into the treasure chest and tell the creatures here. Then everyone will know.”
So that was it…
Recalling what Garcia said in Ice Castle, the Deep Sea Feast seemed to involve some kind of trial, so it was not difficult to understand why Wizards deliberately made such arrangements to let the Gehrus and the others know. It was probably to leave clues for the Wizards who came to collect the Heart of the Sea.
Heath nodded. “Okay, then let’s think of a way to get the key first.”
The Gehru and the others cheered, “Get the key! Get the key!”
“Let’s follow the plan and feed the drunk mushroom to Giant Luff. After Giant Luff eats it, he will fall asleep. He will definitely sleep to death!”
Before coming here, Heath had deliberately gathered a large number of Intoxicating Mushrooms in the forest and refined them into potions. During the refining process, he had placed more than ten other materials that could help Areos sleep.
The sleeping effect of the formed potion was extraordinary. If it was completely drunk, Heath even had full confidence of an advanced-level Wizard fall into a deep sleep.
No matter how sensitive the Giant’s five senses were, as long as he drank this potion, he would completely lose consciousness. When that time came, it would be much easier to take the key from his neck.
But…
How should he feed Areos?
He couldn’t possibly open his mouth and let him drink it, right? Would he wave his fist and shout at him, “Hey, kid, drink this potion for me, or I’ll beat you up!”
“We can go to the kitchen! Go to the kitchen!”
“Put the drunk mushroom into the Giant’s lunch! It’ll fall asleep after eating the lunch!”
“Go to the kitchen! Go to the kitchen!”
Seeing the confusion on Heath’s face, the Gehrus quickly gave their suggestions.
Heath’s eyes lit up. Any creature, including Wizards, needed to eat, and the Giant couldn’t possibly be hungry.
With this in mind, Heath led the Gehrus to search the castle.
It was not easy to find the kitchen of a room in such an unfamiliar environment, especially in such a huge castle. A room alone was dozens to hundreds of meters wide.
Fortunately, as a Grand Knight, Heath could move faster than an ordinary person. Besides, he was born in a noble family and was used to living in various castles. He was very familiar with the layout of a castle. The layout of castles was generally similar.
In short, without much effort, Heath found the kitchen of the castle in a room on the second floor.
However, when he arrived here, Heath was slightly stunned.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Cha! Cha! Cha!
From afar, Heath heard a crisp sound coming from the kitchen. The sound of pots and pans, the sound of chopping vegetables, the sound of chopping meat, and so on. It was as if there was a team of kitchen maids busy inside.
Was there anyone inside?
If there was really someone else here, it would not be good news. After all, this also meant that there was no way to drug the Giant’s food. And if he did not think of a way to drug the food… Heath really did not know how to start feeding the magic potion to the Giant. Heath slowed down his footsteps and sneaked to the kitchen to take a closer look. After taking a look, his furrowed brows relaxed.
There was no one in the room. The pots and pans were busy. The kitchen knife was cutting vegetables on the chopping board, and the vegetables and fruits flew to the chopping board by itself. It was as if there was a group of invisible kitchen maids in the kitchen.
Obviously, this was the spell (Item Activation] that Wizards were very familiar with.
‘So that’s how it is. There’s an activation spell set up… Who did it? Wizards? Or the Sea God?’
The item activation in front of him was very familiar to Heath. After all, this was a spell that he often used in his daily life. Although he could not use magic at this time, he could easily determine that… There was a magic array in this room. It was the magic array for the activation of the item.
“That’s great. There’s no one in the room!”
His original worries were gone. Heath was instantly delighted.
Next, it was time to drug him…
