The Little Superman of Hogwarts

Hogwarts Superman - Chapter 146 [Ugly Merfolk]

Superman can sneak underwater, but because Klee is not yet an adult, he can only sneak underwater for about ten minutes to half an hour.

The area of the Black Lake is very large, almost equivalent to more than a dozen football fields. And its depth is far beyond people's imagination. This is actually an independent kingdom. Various kinds of fish swim freely inside. It is now mid-February, and the ice on the surface of the Black Lake is about to melt, but some ice debris remains.

Below the ice, the water is very dark, and you can't see your fingers.

Klee first came to the side of the flying car. The octopus was in the car. When it saw Klee, it pulled its body out of the car and stared at him. But Klee read shock in its eyes.

This octopus has lived in Hogwarts for at least several hundred years. Old people can become refined, let alone this kind of animal.

Judging from its expression, this octopus should be very familiar with magic. The only difference between it and a real person may be that it lacks a mouth.

"Hello!" Klee waved to the octopus and greeted it.

The octopus actually raised one of its tentacles and waved it as well.

"Do you know where the merfolk tribe is?" Klee asked.

The octopus pointed in a direction with its tentacle. Klee nodded to express his gratitude.

A few minutes later, the merfolk tribe's lair appeared in front of Klee.

To be honest, their lair is not good-looking at all, giving people a very terrifying feeling. These lairs are woven from kelp or aquatic plants. Klee could see the merfolk, and these merfolk looked terrifying. This is completely different from the image in fairy tales or myths and legends.

The merfolk's skin is iron-gray, and their dark green hair is long and disheveled. Their eyes are yellow, and their incomplete teeth are also yellow. They wear pebbles strung together with thick ropes around their necks.

Rather than saying they are an intelligent creature, it is better to say they are a primitive tribe.

Before Klee could get close, a sharp javelin shot out of the water. A merfolk warrior discovered Klee, and within a few minutes, dozens of javelins flew towards Klee. It is not known what materials these javelins were made of, but their speed underwater was like bullets.

Of course, this slight damage was nothing to Klee. He dodged most of them, and the remaining javelins pierced his body, poking some large holes in the clothes he was wearing.

Klee felt that he had come to the right place, because he found that the warriors of these merfolk tribes were very nervous. Obviously, they also suffered the same fate as the Forbidden Forest tribe.

"Murcus! I want to talk to you!" Klee said in the loudest voice he could underwater. Only Superman could do this. If it were a normal person, they would not be able to make any sound underwater.

Murcus is the leader of the merfolk tribe and a female merfolk. She only appeared twice in the Harry Potter series. The first time was in the Goblet of Fire, and the second time was to attend Dumbledore's funeral.

The merfolk warriors did not stop because of Klee's shouting. Instead, they intensified their efforts and threw more javelins.

At this chaotic moment, Klee noticed an inconspicuous figure among the fish. Thanks to his super vision, Klee locked onto that figure in the first moment.

While dodging the javelins, Klee observed her movements for a few seconds, and then came to a conclusion that this was the merfolk leader he was looking for.

He waved his hands and feet and moved towards the merfolk leader like an arrow leaving the bowstring. Before all the merfolk warriors could react, Klee was already standing in front of the merfolk tribe leader.

Murcus was very sensible. She saw that her warriors could not defeat Klee and waved to signal all the warriors to stop.

"Who are you?" the merfolk leader asked in broken English. The merfolk have their own language, so human language is a foreign language to them.

"My name is Klee, and I am a second-year student." After a brief greeting, Klee directly asked: "Has anything unusual happened to the merfolk tribe recently? For example, have strangers invaded, or have warriors died abnormally?"

The leader seemed to take a moment to understand the meaning of these words, and suddenly frowned: "What do you know? Why did you come here?"

"It seems something has happened! The warriors' reactions are very intense, which means that similar events have happened not long ago!" Klee said decisively.

"About a month ago, people in the tribe began to disappear one after another, reaching 10 people," the merfolk leader said directly, and then asked seriously: "Do you know something? Where are our people?"

Klee shook his head. He pointed above the water with his thumb and said: "In the past 6 weeks, many magical creatures have died in the Forbidden Forest. They did not die naturally, but were killed! And starting two weeks ago, the wizards of Hogwarts have also suffered misfortune. One teacher and three students have been poisoned! I am here to investigate the poisoning incident!"

"Follow me!" The merfolk leader led the way. In a few minutes, they came to a muddy lake bottom.

Many wide aquatic plants grew on this lake bottom, rising from the bottom like large trees. Klee smelled the stench of corpses from his nose. Although these odors could not fully spread in the lake water, Superman's super sense of smell still allowed Klee to smell them.

The two came to a lake bottom cemetery, which seemed to be the place where the merfolk were buried.

The merfolk leader talked to Klee here about what had happened recently.

Since Christmas, more than a dozen merfolk have disappeared from the merfolk tribe one after another, almost one disappearing every three days, and sometimes even one disappearing every day.

The merfolk tribe has many secret magic spells belonging to this group, but strangely, when they look for these tribal members, the secret magic finds that they are in this lake bottom, but they cannot be found. Some special secret magic shows that these people are already dead, but they cannot catch the enemy no matter what.

Even in this battle, several outstanding warriors of the merfolk tribe have disappeared one after another.

Therefore, the merfolk leader has encountered the biggest crisis since taking office. She must find this enemy and kill him.

Klee frowned deeply when he heard the news of the merfolk's disappearance.

"Merfolk death? Time-Turner? Underwater escape? Magical creatures killed? Students poisoned?"

Klee strung these fragmented words together, and gradually he had a guess. Until this moment, he finally understood what the enemy had done.
