My Black Magic Is Too Good, It Can Be Automatically Whitened

In order to prove his words, Dumbledore brought the four of Dunn to the lake beside the castle.

The lake surface fluctuated for a while, as if something was swimming over quickly.

Soon the four of Dunn saw three mermaids with fish heads and fish tails sticking out of the water, and they swam to the edge of the lake in the blink of an eye, but instead of landing, they stopped in shallow water where they could reach their knees.

All came were three male mermen, and the lead one opened his mouth and babbled at Dumbledore in a hoarse and unpleasant voice.

Ronald was about to ask Mera if she could understand what the mermaid was saying, but Mera turned around and told Dunn that the other party's language was a bit different from the deep-sea mermaid, and she couldn't understand some sentences, but she still understood the general content. .

The other told Dumbledore that everything was ready.

Ronald whispered to Harry next to him.

"Isn't the merman's language universal?"

Harry focused his attention on the three ugly mermaids with fish heads, and said casually, "Maybe it's the difference in accent. It's also English, but the English in Australia and North America is different from British English." 003

When the three merman and Dumbledore finished their communication and swam back into the lake to disappear, Ronald muttered in a low voice.

"They look so ugly!"

Dumbledore turned, and he shut up immediately, pretending that he hadn't said anything.

Harry couldn't wait to speak.

"Professor, tomorrow's game has something to do with mermaids?"

Dumbledore nodded and said: "The history of this mermaid tribe living in the Great Lake can be traced back to before the establishment of Hogwarts, when the four giants built a castle by the lake and signed a pact of peaceful coexistence and non-aggression with the mermaids for more than a thousand years. This treaty has been strictly abided by both sides, and it happens that the third game needs to be played underwater, so I asked these mermaids to negotiate and help, and they have agreed."

Taking this opportunity, Dumbledore also briefly explained the content of the third game to the four of them.

The golden eggs they got in the first game will be hidden somewhere at the bottom of the lake, and the participating warriors have an hour to find the golden eggs, during which the merfolk will interfere with them.

Whoever brings the golden egg back to shore first is the champion.

Ronald whispered: "When the time comes, we'll all help Mera find the golden eggs, and let her be the first to bring her ashore?"

In order not to let the four of them treat the game negatively, Dumbledore reminded them earnestly that the golden egg contained a gift prepared by the school professors for everyone. If you don't want to miss the gift, you'd better find the golden egg.

This is mainly for Ronald.

Harry and Mera reassured Dumbledore that they would definitely try to find the golden egg.

Not to mention Dunn, Game 3 was no problem for him.

After explaining, Dumbledore looked at the four.

"Okay, do you have any other questions? 95

"Professor, what is the relationship between the mermaid at the bottom of the lake and the mermaid in the deep sea?"

The person asking the question is Dunn.

Dumbledore glanced at Mera, who was standing beside Dunn, and immediately understood that Dunn was asking this question for Mera.

"Although there have always been rumors that there is a dark river connected to the Atlantic Ocean at the bottom of the lake, but that has not been confirmed. I think there is basically no communication between the two sides. This can be heard from their accents. It is different from the mermaid in the ocean. the same. 99

The biggest difference was actually looks, because Dumbledore didn't say it because of discrimination.

Mermaids in the ocean have human fish tails, especially female mermaids are very beautiful. That's how the story of mermaids in the Muggle world came about.

The mermaids living in the inland lakes are ugly, and the legends about them are all stories of various horror (cgdc) water monsters.

If it weren't for the blood connection, the deep sea merman and the merman in the inland lake could be regarded as two different humanoid magical creatures.

Dunn asked again:

"What about strength?"

Even Dumbledore is not sure about this, but he thinks that the mermaids in the inland lakes should not be as powerful as the deep sea mermaids, otherwise the former will not drive the latter as slaves, causing the latter to migrate to the inland lakes in large numbers to survive .

Seeing the worry in Dunn's eyes, Dumbledore explained: "During tomorrow's game, these mermaids will only cause a little trouble to you, rest assured, they will never do anything to hurt you, it's not just me and The agreement of the merman leader is the agreement between Hogwarts and the mermaid tribe for more than a thousand years.

In order to completely dispel the concerns of the four, Dumbledore took out something.

"This is the sluggrass that I borrowed from Professor Slughorn. Taking this amazing plant can make people grow a pair of gills in a short time, and grow webs on their hands and feet, so they can survive underwater.

Ronald only felt a pang in his stomach as he looked at the grey-green, slimy, rat-tailed bottle of herbal medicine in Dumbledore's hands.

If he didn't go into the water to find the golden egg, he swore that he would never touch this disgusting thing, let alone eat it.

"A single dose of Gill will allow you to survive underwater for an hour, at which time you will have to return to shore whether you have found the golden egg or not.

Harry asked curiously, "Professor, why don't you prepare some gills?

Ronald looked at Harry with a horrified look on his face, clearly saying you were crazy?

Eating a single gillsweed is the maximum he can accept, and no matter how much more he can eat, he will definitely not be able to eat for a month.

Dumbledore shrugged regretfully.

"It's not that we don't want to provide more gills, but this magical plant can only take effect once a day, for only one hour at a time, but we have tested that one hour is enough for you to explore the entire lake.

Dumbledore's eyes followed Dunn.

"The most important thing is that after taking Gillwort, the mermaid will only treat you as ordinary human beings, and will not doubt whether any of you have the blood of the deep-sea mermaid."

This was obviously prepared for Mera.

While Dumbledore doesn't think the merfolk will attack Mera, as the organizer of the match, he does take into account all possible contingencies.

After all, he was facing an opponent like Greenwald.

Although the Dark Lord has left, there's no guarantee that he won't play a trick in the third game.
