Witcher at Hogwarts
Chapter 54 Elaine and the Mermaid
As the voice sounded, a thick fog suddenly appeared on the lake, completely covering the black lake. "Please forgive me human beings, I don't want our meeting to be peeped by others." That nice voice came to Ethan again. There was a sound in my heart, but this time it became as clear and sweet as a girl's.
Suddenly there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the thick fog, and a graceful figure slowly rose from the lake.
Ethan was surprised to find that a girl appeared in the lake. She had a delicate and beautiful face like a work of art, long light green hair draped over her shoulders, and a pair of emerald-like almonds. Her big eyes, her fair and flawless skin showing a hint of pink, and her thin lips as soft as rose petals.
The girl's upper body got out of the lake, holding the surface of the lake with her arms, and trying to climb out of the lake. The girl's upper body was properly covered by the diffuse water mist. The water mist seemed to have been cast by some magic and would follow the girl back and forth. , the most surprising thing is that the girl's lower body is actually the body of a fish, with dark green scales that are shining and swaying rapidly in the lake water with the girl's power.
Finally, the girl finally climbed up to the lake with her own efforts. Miraculously, the fish tail of the girl's lower body quickly turned into slender legs after emerging from the water, and the fish scales turned into a dark green dress and quickly wrapped around her. The girl's legs were covered with only her snow-white slender feet exposed.
"Human, I heard your call." "Hey!" The girl stood up immediately after landing. However, it was obvious that the girl did not use her legs to walk, so she staggered as soon as she took a step, and asked Pounce forward.
Ethan quickly took a step forward and supported the girl who was about to fall. A blush instantly appeared on the girl's fair face. The sense of mystery that the girl brought to Ethan at the beginning was gone.
The girl who stabilized her figure calmed down, stood upright, and crossed her hands dignifiedly on her lower abdomen. She soon returned to her dignified appearance, "Human, I heard your call. I am Elaine, the goddess of the Black Lake. ." Ethan could see the girl opening her mouth to speak, but the girl's voice sounded in Ethan's heart.
Ethan looked at Elaine in surprise. He did not expect that the girl in front of him was actually a god. Elaine's appearance was very different from the dignified and solemn look of the god in Ethan's imagination.
Although he had some doubts in his heart, Ethan still gave Elaine a very polite breast-stroking salute, "Dear Lady of the Lake, I am Ethan from Toussaint." Elaine's emerald green eyes appeared. Smile, the corners of his mouth turned up in satisfaction, obviously very satisfied with Ethan's attitude.
"Ethan, our fates have been intertwined." Elaine's expression became dignified and solemn, "It seems that the centaurs have recognized your bravery, Ethan, you deserve the reward that belongs to a hero." Ethan was a little bit I wonder why the centaurs, goddesses, and Divination professor Trelawney at Hogwarts all like to talk about fate and other magical things.
After speaking, Elaine stretched her hands around and scooped up all the money. A trace of embarrassment appeared on her delicate little face. Ethan keenly discovered the clues. Elaine forgot to bring the reward she just mentioned. Ethan once again had doubts about the identity of the somewhat unreliable Lady of the Lake in front of him.
Fortunately, Elaine quickly found a coping strategy. She squatted down and knocked on the water with her left hand like a door.
Soon, a mermaid swam toward Elaine from the depths of the lake. The mermaid's skin was iron-grey and her dark green hair was long and unkempt. Their eyes are yellow, and their incomplete teeth are also yellow. They wear pebbles strung with thick ropes around their necks, and their thick and powerful silver fish tails slap the lake water, making the fishmen swim very fast.
When the mermaid approached the lake, Ethan noticed that it was holding a long rod in its arms. The mermaid seemed to be in awe of Elaine. When it approached Elaine, the mermaid obviously slowed down and lowered its head, not daring to look. The mermaid raised the long thing toward Elaine with both hands, held some important ceremony, and respectfully presented the thing to Elaine.
Elaine casually grabbed the things offered by the mermaid, and drove the mermaid away with a wave of her hand. The mermaid solemnly saluted Elaine before leaving. It seems that regardless of whether Elaine is the goddess of the lake or not, she is here. The Black Lake mermaids indeed have a high status.
Mermaids are an intelligent species with the qualifications to become humans, but they actively reject this classification. The extent of their intelligence is unknown, but what is certain is that they are more intelligent than most animals. Mermaids have their own mermaid language and can even create music, which is also the most common hobby of mermaids.
Mermaids are divided into different subspecies or races according to where they live. Those who live in warm waters have a more beautiful appearance, while those who live in cold waters, such as the Selkies of Scotland and the Selkies of Ireland. Milo, not so pretty.
The fish-man tribe living in the Black Lake happened to be Selki, which also made Ethan curious about Elaine's identity.
There is evidence that merfolk had a thriving culture, as they lived in highly organized communities, some using elaborate stone dwellings. In addition, they will also tame creatures such as Grindylow, horse-headed fish-tailed sea monsters, Loba bugs, etc., and even use Loba bugs as weapons. Mermaids also craft jewelry and weapons, create sculptures and other artworks, and use gestures for basic communication.
Mermaids date back to ancient Greece, where they were known as sirens. But in modern times, mermaids have spread all over the world.
The history of the relationship between mermaids and wizards, at least with the British magical government, is a bit rocky. According to the definition of "human" by Elfrida Cragg, Speaker of the Wizarding Council, mermaids are excluded from this category because mermaids are not "creatures that can speak human languages". This definition makes mermaids and their The centaurs, their allies, were a little disappointed.
By 1811, Minister Grogan Stump redefined "people" so that mermaids met the requirements, but they voluntarily gave up the opportunity to become humans because they were unwilling to be separated from dark creatures such as hags and vampires. Although still considered beasts at the time, merfolk were persuaded to attend a summit held by the International Confederation of Wizards in 1692 to discuss ways to prevent Muggles from becoming aware of the existence of various magical creatures.
