Hogwarts Emerald

Only one hour to find and recover the items we took...

The mermaid's singing is as unforgettable as their appearance. The singing is gentle and inexplicably makes people feel at ease.

Stabilizing her mind, Ada swam again, this time she swam faster. Ada couldn't wait to find the mermaid, find the person she needed to rescue, and then get back to shore as soon as possible.

The lake water turned into dark eddies due to Ada's stirring, and the mermaid's singing became clearer and clearer. In the turbid lake water, a large rock appeared with many mermaids painted on it. It was probably a scene of mermaids hunting or driving away enemies.

…Don’t delay any longer, the time is already half gone, lest what you seek rots here… The mermaid’s song continues, getting clearer and clearer.

Many rough stone dwellings appeared all around, speckled with algae. Some mermaids poked their heads out of the dark windows and looked out. There were even some mermaids who had been waiting outside early, with spears in their hands.

Seeing Ada's appearance, these mermaids suddenly became restless. One by two they raised their spears, their thick and powerful fish tails slapped the lake water, and swam quickly towards Ada.

There were malicious smiles on their faces, and a high fighting spirit in their yellow eyes. They seemed to have mistaken Ada for the same kind of creature, one that had come all the way from the Caribbean.

If a friend comes from afar, he will be killed even though he is far away...

If Ada becomes exactly like the mermaid in the Black Lake, she might be able to fish in troubled waters and enter the mermaid village directly, but she looks like she is here to cause trouble.

The mermaids in the Black Lake have iron-grey skin and long, disheveled dark green hair. The incomplete teeth are yellow, and around the neck are pebbles strung with a thick rope.

Their looks don't match their singing.

And what about Ada? Her skin is smooth and delicate, and can be broken by a blow. Her long golden hair flows with the water, and the scales on her body also reflect the shimmer.

It is in sharp contrast to the mermaids here, one is in the sky and the other is underground.

The vicious mermaid was about to kill her, but Ada didn't raise her wand for a long time. She was wondering if it would be considered murder if she killed the mermaid. After all, mermaids were officially certified.

The mermaid at the front raised his spear and was about to stab him. Ada suddenly raised her hand, and a thick water column hit the mermaid's chest, knocking him away. The mermaid flipped over in the lake and flew out. It flew a long way before stopping.

The remaining mermaids all stopped their forward movements. They were stunned. The particularly beautiful mermaid in front of them seemed to be different from the same kind. She also held a wand in her hand. Was she a human?

Mermaids emerged from all directions, and more and more mermaids gathered in front of the village. They pointed at Ada and whispered with their hands over their mouths.

Ada was also thinking about countermeasures. Should she negotiate with these mermaids and ask them to release the hostages, or should she just fight her way out and snatch the hostages out herself.

Ada vaguely remembered that there was an anti-terrorist unit that seemed to do this. What was it called? She couldn't remember it for a while.

Just as Ada was about to shout, a seven-foot-tall mermaid swam over. He had a long green beard and a short necklace made of shark teeth.

The newly appeared mermaid seemed to be the leader of the village, and the mermaids surrounding the village entrance all made way for him.

The seven-foot-tall mermaid did not negotiate with Ada. He just motioned for Ada to follow him, and then returned to the village. Without hesitation, Ada also swam over, but she did not put away her wand.

The surrounding mermaids did not attack Ada again. They put their spears on their shoulders and still looked curiously at the beautiful "similar people" passing by them.

As you go to the center of the village, there are more and more stone dwellings. Some of the dwellings are surrounded by gardens, and there is a small Grindylow tied in front of the door.

Under the leadership of this tall mermaid, Ada arrived at what seemed to be a small village square, surrounded by some houses, and a large group of mermaids floating in front of the house.

Some mermaids in the middle of the square were singing in unison, the same singing that Ada had heard in the lake outside the village.

Behind the group of mermaids stands a crude statue: a large mermaid carved from a boulder. Four people were tightly tied to the tail of the mermaid stone statue.

Ron, Ginny, Hermione, and a little girl who looked to be eight years old at most. That was Fleur's biological sister Gabri. Like her sister, she had long silver hair.

Between Ron and Ginny, Ada didn't have any hesitation. Between her idiot brother and her little sister, there was no need to hesitate at all. But Ada really didn't expect that Ginny would appear at the bottom of the lake. She even thought of Hector, but she simply forgot about Ginny.

Looking at the four hostages in front of her, Ada suddenly felt a little funny.

Gabri, that's Fleur's sister, is naturally the one Fleur wants to rescue; among the four hostages, Krum is only familiar with Hermione, so naturally he wants to rescue Hermione. As for the remaining Ron and Ginny, Ada really wanted them to change and save Ron, his idiot brother, while leaving Ginny with Harry.

Of the four warriors, Krum is the sweetheart who saves him, Ada and Fleur are the sisters who save him, and only Harry is the good friend who saves him. Ada didn't know how to vomit.

At this time, Harry happened to swim to the mermaid village and appeared in the central square of the village with the mermaids' attention.

Ada didn't expect to see Harry so soon. She thought the second person to appear here would be Krum. What Ada didn't know was that Harry was able to swim over so quickly because of Myrtle's help.

Moaning Myrtle also appears in the Black Lake, and she points Harry in the direction of the mermaid village. Harry's charm is undeniable.

Harry also saw Ada, who arrived first, and the two nodded to each other, which was considered a greeting. Under Ada's speechless gaze, Harry rushed straight towards Ron, then looked at Hermione next to Ron, but not Ginny on the other side.

Fortunately, Ginny was still asleep at the moment. How sad the little girl would be if she saw the scene in front of her!

Ada, who was worried about her old mother, swam towards Ginny. She found that the rope tied to the hostage was made of water plants, thick, slippery and very strong.

Ada tapped the diving watch on her wrist at Harry, telling him to pay attention to the time. Harry, who was untying the rope, nodded to show that he understood.

Instead of untying the rope like Harry, Ada smashed the waterweed rope with her wand and caught the floating Ginny. Ada took one last look at the busy Harry and the three remaining hostages, and then took Ginny up the river without looking back.

Ada, who was on the surface, had no idea that Harry not only failed to seize the time, but was actually the last warrior to leave the village. Not to mention that Harry actually asked the mermaid to borrow weapons in order to untie the rope. Harry forgot that he was a wizard again.

Swimming with one person is a very tiring task. Fortunately, Ginny is unconscious and will not move around, otherwise it will be even more tiring. Compared with when she first entered the water, Ada was swinging her lower limbs harder now, and her tail fins were hitting the lake water harder, and the two of them kept rising.

The light in the lake was getting brighter and brighter, and the distance to the lake was getting closer and closer, but a group of Grindylows appeared out of nowhere. This group of dark creatures swarmed over like sharks that smelled blood.

Grindylow stretched out his long nails to claw at Ginny, with long pointed teeth exposed in his mouth, as if he wanted to drag Ginny and Ada back to the bottom of the lake, so that they could sleep at the bottom of the lake.

"The strength is relaxed and the strength is released!"

Ada's silent spell kept hitting the surrounding Grindylows, but these Grindylows suddenly became very brave, not afraid of Ada's attacks at all, but became even crazier!

We can't go on like this, procrastinating like this is simply not an option, no one knows what else will come out in the near future. After fighting off Grindylow again, Ada let go of Ginny's hand.

In the stands on the shore, spectators waited anxiously. The audience only saw how the warrior entered the water and Furong who withdrew midway. They didn't see anything else. It was broadcast live in the air.

The audience did not know that Ada and Ginny were in trouble in the lake. They just looked at the calm lake out of habit, waiting for the first warrior to jump out of the water.

"Look at that!" someone in the stands shouted.

The quiet lake surface suddenly fluctuated, and then a small figure flew out of the water and landed softly on the shore of the lake not far from the stands.

Finally, after waiting for so long, someone finally came out!
