,!

In the groggy lake, Sean, who was still frightened, still hadn't calmed down from what had just happened.

Is there such a terrifying magical animal at the bottom of the Black Lake? !

Or maybe that thing isn't a magical animal?

Based on Sean's affinity with magical animals, except for the completely irrational magical animals, other animals will hesitate for a long time before attacking him. Even the hidden monsters, magical animals that only know killing, will not be controlled by anyone. Under the circumstances, he would not extend his sharp claws to Sean immediately.

But the strange sea monster-like creature launched an attack almost as soon as it noticed Sean, and the guy's sonic attack was completely defenseless.

If his reaction had been slower and he had been exposed to that sound wave for a few more seconds, he would have probably fainted.

Then things will get worse.

Sean frowned. He had never seen such a magical animal before, and he could tell just from the momentary encounter that the danger level of this thing was definitely xxxxx!

Why is there such a creature in the Black Lake, and why was it encountered during the competition? Didn't the organizer make this thing the gatekeeper of the second level?

He barely escaped with the trajectory flash. How can other warriors who are inconvenient to move in the water deal with this thing? This is an almost impossible task.

But if this is not the mission goal, then monsters of this level should not appear in the Black Lake...

Frowning, Sean called out the Mark of the Golden Dawn, and he wanted to remind Stephanie.

After making sure that the opponent was not close to the siren-like monster, Sean turned and swam towards the gathering point.

That damn thing can't be touched now...

On the bleachers by the lake, Dumbledore, who had been talking to others, suddenly paused, and then turned to the surface of the Black Lake in confusion.

A shrill singer floated over.

This was the contact method he had agreed with the mermaid leader. As a powerful wizard who could speak mermaid language and as the principal of Hogwarts, he could easily establish a good relationship with the mermaids.

"What's wrong?" Grindelwald, who was sitting leisurely in the main seat, noticed Dumbledore's strange behavior and asked.

"Something's going on under the Black Lake."

After saying that, Dumbledore walked quickly towards the shore.

On the referee's bench, Karkaroff, who had been huddled in the corner without speaking, narrowed his eyes.

After a while, Dumbledore came back. Karkaroff frowned and asked while adjusting his cuffs: "What happened in the Black Lake, Albus? I don't want our Durmstrang warriors to show up." Unforeseen circumstances outside of the game.”

Dumbledore said easily: "There were indeed some unexpected situations - a warrior fainted at the bottom of the lake, and the mermaids brought him up."

Hearing this, several other principals looked over, obviously wanting to know who the fainted student was.

Dumbledore looked at Vita Rosier: "It's Mr. Hugo Barbarossa."

Professor Rosier frowned immediately, and she subconsciously looked at Grindelwald in the main seat.

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows and did not express any other opinions. He just said to Rozier: "Vita, it seems that the education of the students has fallen behind."

Professor Rosier immediately lowered his head: "I didn't teach him well, Grindelwald... Mr. Chairman."

However, the elimination of one student did not mean the end of the school's entire team. After the episode, everyone returned to their seats and continued to wait.

At this time, in the deep lake, Sean didn't know what was happening in the outside world. He had just met Stephanie.

Stephanie also took the pill, and she mouthed to Sean, meaning that she had met warriors from other schools on the way here.

[Did they attack you? 】 Sean asked in the same mouth shape.

Stephanie shook her head, then she took out a lens and handed it over. Obviously, this was the item she got before the game started.

Sean took out his piece. The two round lenses couldn't be distinguished from each other, but it looked like it would take all three people's belongings to be combined to see - maybe a pair of glasses?

After putting away his things, Sean took out his wand and released the explosive spell - the water monster is very sensitive to water waves, and it should be on its way here with Daisy now.

While waiting, several groups of aquatic magical animals attacked again. This time Sean was not polite, and Stephanie and he quickly dealt with the attackers.

However, this time the magical animals in the Black Lake seemed to be out in force. When Sean and Stephanie did not move, the attackers came one after another, as if there was no end.

Just when Sean and Stephanie frowned and prepared to deal with a group of Grindylows that rushed forward, the group of snarling water devils suddenly froze - they showed horrified expressions, and then fled in all directions, desperately heading towards those Dive into the deep water plants.

In the distance, a huge black shadow was approaching quickly, and its swimming body caused a large series of bubbles. In the dark lake water, the white front teeth were still so obvious.

The kelpie arrived carrying Daisy.

One beast and one person rushed into Sean's arms at the same time - and then he was knocked out by the horse-shaped water monster.

With a wry smile, he rubbed his chest and praised the excited water monster. While the big guy was doing happy somersaults in the water, Sean looked at Daisy.

The little white flower's eyes were widened and her face was a little pale.

[I think I will definitely get seasick in the future...]

The kelpie swims too fast.

Sean shook his head in amusement, and then asked [Have you met anyone who attacked you? 】

To his surprise, Daisy nodded.

[I can’t see the figure clearly, but it doesn’t seem to be using a head soaking spell]

Sean frowned. The only people who don't use the head-soaking spell are those from Durmstrang...

Daisy gestured and mouthed: [When I and the water monster were waiting under the water, someone hid in the water plant area and attacked me with a magic spell, but the water monster blocked it, and then the person disappeared quickly. . 】

The horse-shaped water monster let out a series of proud bubbles and raised its neck.

Sean gestured to the two of them while stroking it, and although slightly confused, both Stephanie and Daisy nodded.

This was a gesture that had been discussed in advance to cancel the original plan. Originally, after the three of them reunited, Stephanie and Daisy would complete the challenge project, while Sean would be responsible for sneak attacks on students from other schools-mainly Germany. Armstrong and Beauxbatons.

However, Sean accidentally encountered the weird and powerful water monster. To be on the safe side, it was better to work together to complete the project quickly.

Speaking of which, I don’t know what the beloved thing I want to get back in this challenge is.

Daisy took out the item she got, and sure enough, it was a frame.

Sean and the two looked at each other and nodded. It seemed that the real test would be to assemble the three things together.

Taking the frame, Sean put the two lenses on it - the frame seemed to have magnetism, and the lenses were firmly attached even in the water.

Sean picked up the assembled glasses and looked at them, but didn't get any information.

After thinking for a moment, Sean put on his glasses in the water.

The moment he put it on, he felt that he saw a dizzying picture, and his brain went blank as if he had been shocked. Then, the feeling he had encountered before immediately came to him-soul It's like being separated from the body.

Sean was startled. He quickly took off his glasses, and then his eyes widened in shock.

[Sean? Sean? ] Daisy shook his sleeves anxiously.

I couldn't explain it clearly with my mouth... Sean waved his wand to create a huge bubble, and then got into it.

Stephanie and Daisy, who had taken the gillweed, got half their faces in and looked at him anxiously.

Sean licked his tongue: "This pair of glasses is a magic prop..."

"What happened? Daisy and I just saw you suddenly turned your eyes white and almost fainted." Stephanie asked with a frown.

Sean said with some toothache: "The ancient runes are engraved on the lenses, and the effect is...depriving memory."

"Memory?!" Daisy lost her composure, "Do you, do you still remember who we are?"

Sean rubbed his head: "Of course I remember. Fortunately, I learned Occlumency, otherwise I would have been in trouble..."

Stephanie and Daisy both breathed a sigh of relief.

Sean continued: "But I still lost a memory, about a week long, and I can't recall the situation at the beginning of school at all - this was when my Occlumency was activated, and other teams... I estimate that people who wear glasses will directly lose more than a year of memory, and for wizards, memory is very important."

Stephanie frowned: "One year of memory... The instantaneous memory loss will cause the wizard to be confused for a long time. In other words, every person in the team who wears glasses is equivalent to a direct loss of combat effectiveness."

Daisy also suddenly realized: "It turns out that the beloved thing is memory... But where are we going to get your memory back?"

Sean pointed to the distance: "The lost memory will give certain guidance - this is not like a real extraction of memory, but more like using some kind of magic to obscure the existence of this memory, so we have to go to the end. You have to unlock this magic at the location to complete the game..."

"Then let's set off quickly." Daisy said eagerly.

The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, pointing to the gully in the lake where he had encountered the strange sea monster before.

That thing is actually the gatekeeper of the second level...

However, this also proves that there is a problem with my previous judgment, because the organizer will not throw an unsolvable monster into the competition... This shows that the strength of that monster will not exceed the strength of the team, especially under normal circumstances. One person from each team will lose combat effectiveness.

In other words, the solution has already been given...

After telling the two of them about the sea monster, Sean rubbed his chin and finally said, "Let's go and get closer first to see the situation."

The three of them rode on the back of the horse-shaped water monster. Under Sean's instructions, the horse-shaped water monster gently pushed away the lake water and swam towards the gully.

The horse-shaped water monster showed no fear or fear, which also proved that the sea monster was not in that place originally. It was indeed a magical animal invested by the organizer... After observing the water monster under him, Sean came to a conclusion.

This reassured him a lot.

Following the direction from which they came, the horse-shaped water monster approached with the three of them.

Soon, they saw the gully across the bottom of the lake.

Sean patted the water monster and signaled it to slow down.

He looked at the other two people: [Do you feel anything is wrong? 】

Both shook their heads.

Sean was confused, and he didn't feel it either.

There was no increase in water temperature, no weird ripples piercing the lake.

Getting closer, Sean looked towards the original position, but was surprised to find that the large group of black shadows that had been entrenched there had disappeared, replaced by many mermaid guards holding sharp tridents.

The mermaid's skin is iron-gray, and her dark green hair is long and unkempt. Their eyes are yellow, their incomplete teeth are also yellow, and they wear pebbles strung with thick ropes around their necks.

They also spotted Sean and the others, their thick fish tails slapping the lake water vigorously, and then showing evil smiles.

[Sean, there! 】The sharp-eyed Daisy tugged on Sean's sleeve and pointed to a place.

Sean looked over and saw that it was the center of the mermaids. There were high piles of bones, with five chains on top and a stone tied to the end of the chains.

Stephanie immediately saw it: [That is an inscription stone marked with ancient runes, generally used to fix curses]

Undo the curse? Sure enough, just as I guessed, it was not a memory extraction, but a memory deceived.

But what about that sea monster...

With such doubts, Sean tried to get closer.

The mermaids did not attack, but sang mermaid songs as they approached the ravine.

The song of the mermaid will disorient the travelers in the song and gradually corrode their minds.

Is this the final level? Uneasy, Sean quietly opened the ring, and then, the little Selma Lake Monster swam out.

The little guy resisted the urge to play happily in the lake, and followed Sean's instructions to shake the five whiskers on his head.

If the horse-shaped water monster can sense the situation in the distance through the fluctuation of water flow, then the Selma Lake Monster is the real king of the water-its fleshy tentacles can sense the specific situation in the entire body of water like radar, and it needs You can also control the water flow.

The little Selma Lake Monster sensed it and shook his head at Sean.

It didn't feel the sea monster Sean described.

That guy really wasn't here, so why did I encounter it in the first place... Sean was puzzled.

However, it's a good thing that the sea monster is gone. All he has to do is go through the mermaid singer and get the rune-engraved stone on the chain.

It's no use plugging your ears to sing the mermaid's song. This song is spread through the fluctuation of water flow. As long as you are within the range of the lake and the song, you will definitely "hear" it.

At this time, the referee's seat in the stands was also singing the mermaid song.

"Honestly, I think it might be a little harder for these kids - but if they can think of a solution, it shouldn't be too big of a problem?"
