The Death Knell

If it were Dr. Manhattan, after knowing the location of that space, he could directly reach it through quantum teleportation, which seemed to be more convenient.

Su Ming didn't quantize his body, so he couldn't do this.

But if it were the blue man, he would have lost all his emotions when he was quantized, and it would be impossible for him to participate in any investigation. He would only 'find out' and then turn a blind eye with an expressionless face.

So everything has two sides, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Use quantum concepts, but don’t be swallowed by quantum. You still have to grasp the scale.

The sunshine outside Hogwarts Castle is just right, the breeze blows through the green grass, and scattered little flowers lower their heads. Across the black lake, you can see the edge of the Forbidden Forest opposite. Neville is leading a group of students in class. It was similar to the lesson Deathstroke taught him. He was holding a huge bug in his hand and telling the students what it means to eat it by removing its head.

This made Su Ming smile, feeling a sense of accomplishment that knowledge had been passed on.

Knowing the location of the secret room and the shortest straight line between two points, Su Ming chose to drill a hole from directly above the main hall of the secret room, that is, from the ruins at the bottom of the Black Lake.

When Hermione came to the lake, she used a simple Bubble Charm to signal that she could go into the water. Although she knew that there were many nasty murlocs in the Black Lake, and that Hogwarts had an agreement with them about mutual non-aggression. of.

But she didn't think these fishmen had the qualifications or courage to stop the professor and herself, saying that the Black Lake was their territory.

Although the Black Lake is considered to be within the Hogwarts campus from the map, in the past, students only had the opportunity to pass by it by boat a few times a year, when school started and during holidays.

Normally, the fish people do not allow students to row boats on the lake, otherwise they will attack the students, drag them into the water, and then throw them back to the shore until they are unconscious.

It sounds a bit funny, but when you are a student at Hogwarts, it is not so fun. Although such a big and beautiful lake is here, you can't row a boat. Why? You must know that there was Hogwarts first, and then there was Black Lake. The fishmen participated in the International Confederation of Wizards in 1692, but this does not mean that they are a race with status.

On the contrary, the main issue discussed by the Federation that year was how to prevent Muggles from discovering more magical animals. Murlocs attended the meeting as representatives of "magical animals" with special language abilities...

Hermione herself was not affected. The fishmen bullied the weak and feared the strong. She often played in the lake with the professor. After the fishmen suffered several losses, they even went to Dumbledore and cried, saying that the professor wanted to cut off their heads. , and then ate them.

Of course, Hermione didn't know whether Strangler had ever eaten a fish-man, but she guessed that there had been some bizarre disappearance.

"I haven't seen the fish people for a long time, and I don't know if they miss me." Su Ming raised his hand, black particles condensed in the palm of his hand, and soon formed the shape of a big gift box: "Let's go into the water, I prepared some delicious food for them.”

"Is there poison in the gift?" This was Hermione's first reaction. She didn't believe that the professor would be so kind and give food to the fish people he always hated.

Deathstroke said nothing, and while stepping into the water, he winked at her narrowly.

Sure enough, in terms of dark thinking, Hermione is indeed very much like herself. Yes, this gift package contains many things that fishmen like to eat, and it does have some added ingredients.

Anyway, just having some fun.

The water in the lake was very cold. Even if it was a summer day not long after school started, the water in the black lake seemed to be flowing down from the iceberg. A cold breath instantly penetrated the body, as if a knife was being scraped on the bones.

Hermione shivered and felt slightly uncomfortable, but as her vision adjusted to the darkness at the bottom of the lake, she returned to normal.

Su Ming beside him was not affected in any way. After all, he could move freely in the universe, and it was no problem underwater. He could also vibrate the water around him through the energy of the universe and speak in this way.

"I used to think that the water in the Black Lake was very cold, but I never thought about the specific reason. Now that I think about it carefully, could it be because there is a huge amount of negative emotions sealed deep underground under the Black Lake? These negative energies make the surroundings Has there been a change in the environment?”

This feeling is a bit like people's sixth sense. A common situation is that when in a haunted house, ordinary people will also feel cold all over. Although they cannot use negative energy, they can feel some hazy feelings. thing.

"Well, it's indeed a bit cold." The Bubble Curse is to form a huge bubble next to the head for breathing underwater, which made Hermione's voice sound a little distorted: "But during the Top Ten Tournament, I I once saw architectural ruins at the bottom of the lake in the middle of the Black Lake, and I didn’t think too much about it at the time.”

"Maybe there is a formal entrance there." Su Ming nodded, pulling the girl to float over there. He moved underwater much faster than she could swim by herself: "Time covers up too many things. There are always things hidden under the dark water.”

"By the way, I am more curious about what is under the sea." Miss Granger opened her eyes wide and tried her best to observe the surrounding environment: "With such a large area on the earth being the ocean, are there more of us under the water body? Where are the undiscovered treasures?”

I didn't see the treasure. There were only various garbage and aquatic plants at the bottom of the nearby lake. The aquatic plants here looked a bit like deformed kelp. Each one was wider than a human waist, and the shorter ones were twenty or thirty meters long.

These plants form an underwater forest, which is denser than the forest on land. It is constantly swaying with the water waves, like a swaying green corridor.

Of course, there are also shorter aquatic plants, and there are even magic underwater mushrooms, but these low 'bush' are the homes of the fish, and Su Ming stopped disturbing their lives not long after finishing his meal.

It's just that the fishmen are not the most dangerous creatures in the black lake. After all, they are an intelligent race and can be reasoned with. But the thing that swam past the two of them just now was obviously a big fish over four meters long, and it had a mouth full of fish. They all have sharp teeth, so they probably don’t come with their own utensils for eating kelp.

"That one just now...is it a type of Acanthus?" The academic attribute showed up again. Hermione's eyes were as round as a cat's, staring at the direction of the big fish swimming away: " I never knew there was such a thing in the Black Lake, right under my nose."

"Don't tell me it's you, I don't know, but it's not interested in us, so we won't kill it." Su Ming didn't have much interest in big fish, because if he wanted to eat fish, he could just ask Arthur. He was absolutely I won’t jump into the big trap of fishing.

"Why do you want to kill it? I want to build an aquarium for Hogwarts." Hermione used her little hand to push the water in the lake, even though she was actually being dragged along by the professor: "Don't you think the Care of Magical Creatures class The course is all about teaching land creatures, and there are very few records of underwater magical creatures. Doesn’t this make the course incomplete?”

"Then there's nothing we can do. Who said that the textbooks used in Hogwarts were written by Newt?" Deathstroke pushed aside the thick water plants blocking the road in front of him, and led the students through the plants: "Although he can swim, but He lived in Africa for too long when he was young. He probably forgot about aquatic species because of the year-round lack of water. How about you find some shooters and write a textbook to try it out? It won't be delayed anyway. time."

"That has to wait until I know enough about the ocean, huh? Professor, look over there, is it a fish-man?"
