But not everyone would be tricked like Alexander. At least for Flitwick, he had obviously known about the magic spell on the hatch for a long time.

"Click."

The next moment Alexander stood up, the door was opened by the other party from the inside. Perhaps due to a little haste, Flitwick obviously did not expect that someone happened to be standing behind the door, so when he opened the door

In an instant, Alexander was hit hard on the nose by the oncoming door panel.

"Ouch!"

Following a wail with a thick nasal sound, he immediately covered his face and squatted on the spot, feeling so painful that he felt like tears were about to flow out.

"Oh, sorry, Mr. Wolfe."

Flitwick stood by the door, poked his head behind the door, and apologized in a high-pitched voice. But he was obviously in a hurry, and he didn't have much time to say this.

"Yes, Mr. Tawen, please give way, there are people behind you -"

As Flitwick spoke, he turned around and waved his wand towards the inside of the door, gradually retreating. Soon, Enns on the side saw several more people floating out of the door one after another.

standing figure.

And... these guys look familiar, right?

"Um?"

When Enns saw it, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows. On the other side, Alexander, who was still covering his nose, couldn't help but stood up again and said dullly after seeing these unconscious people:

"Bartley Mill?"

"Look!" Enns spread his hands and said, "This is the result of not having any awareness of your own strength and still wanting to run around and show off!"

Yes, these guys who lost consciousness and were "carried" by Professor Flitwick were the same young wizards who secretly left through the back door of the classroom and wanted to invite Enns to go with them.

"Are you two familiar with them? That's fine. Just take care of them for me first! Just remember not to break the spell on them."

Upon seeing this, Flitwick immediately placed the students firmly on the deck next to the door, then raised his wand and waved towards the hatch.

"Bang!"

The door was closed again, and a protective spell was applied.

"Then I'll go find Professor Snape first - you two should be careful here and don't open the door randomly. What should I say inside now? It's not very safe anyway."

After these two reminders, Flitwick hurriedly turned around and submerged his two short legs into the fog, temporarily out of sight of Enns and Alexander.

"Look after them? Uh...how?"

Alexander looked down at the classmates lying on the deck, scratched his head in embarrassment, and finally looked up at Enns on the opposite side. However, he only saw Enns returning to the cable pile.

The back of Enns' head.

"How do I know? I'll leave this meaningless nonsense to you."

"Hello!"

Alexander hurriedly called him, but in the end he could only shake his head and sigh.

"Anyway...just watch it, right?"

…

While Alexander was in a daze looking at several fainting classmates at the door, Professor Flitwick, who had just returned with these little wizards, had also gone to the side of the ship where Sprout and Snape were. Seeing Snape

Professor Lauter was holding onto the railing of the ship's side and waving his wand towards the seawater, as if he was trying to disperse some of the fog so that he could see the conditions on the sea surface more clearly. Flitwick couldn't help but jump twice and glance down.

"Okay," Snape couldn't help but shook his head when he saw Flitwick's short legs, "Those seaweeds only had some movement just now, and you can't see anything now - are you back? Is there anything there?

New discovery?"

"New discovery?"

Flitwick said this, then turned to look at Lisa who was helping Sprout, and then said with some clarity:

"So, you should already know that the students' minds are controlled by unknown forces, right?"

"Of course," Snape nodded, "There are a few who have withstood the mental shock. I have also given them a potion to strengthen their will. At present, even if this happens once, they will not be affected for the time being.

arrive."

"Oh, timely response!" Flitwick nodded immediately and gave him a thumbs up, "Then... what about the other people who were affected? Can you make them recover? The ones who were running around on the ship before.

The little naughty guys were attacked, so I controlled them and brought them to the deck."

"Huh?" Snape heard this, thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I can't guarantee whether it will be cured or not, but I'll go take a look at it anyway! I'll give it a try by the way and see if I can figure out the cause."

Having said this, he said towards the railing not far away:

"Professor Sprout, I'll go over there and you... keep an eye on me."

"OK."

Maybe he wanted to remind him of something else in the end, but when it came to his mouth, it still turned into such harsh words. As soon as he finished speaking, he and Flitwick went back.

Lisa watched the two professors go to the hatch. Although she wanted to follow him and take a look, she finally stayed with Sprout and continued to look at the vaguely discernible sea below the ship's side with the latter.

And it was at this moment...

"Professor, look there - is it glowing green?"

Hearing what she said, Sprout beside him immediately turned around to look at her, and then followed her gaze back to the fog on the left.

However, the green light emitted by the collision of hurricane algae was not obvious. Instead, the first thing she saw was a strange translucent shadow that suddenly magnified in her field of vision.

Obviously, something is approaching quickly in the mist on the sea, and... it seems to be an extremely large individual!

Is this what Snape saw earlier?

"Lisa, stay back!"

When Sprout saw the shadow, the first thing he thought of was not trying to see clearly what it was, but Lisa who was following him.

In a hurry, she immediately reached out and grabbed Lisa's arm, dragging her back quickly. At the same time, the shadow in the fog quickly enlarged and approached, becoming more and more dangerous.

, but quietly passed by the side of the Change like a hill.

Yes, in terms of distance, it was already very close. But the strange thing was that even at such a close distance, the two of them could not see clearly what kind of huge thing was passing by. There was only an uneasy feeling.

The well-known sense of oppression "rammed" in the feeling of the two people...no, in fact, almost everyone on the ship who was still awake.

"what is that?"

Lisa seemed to be a little frightened and muttered to herself in a panic.
