BXBX NOVEL Chapter 654: The singing of the mermaid and the gills
It\'s the host! understand?
Your product... your fine product!
If we didn\'t do anything during the game, he would be very angry.
So we must do something, not just to protect the hostages, for example, to arrange the venue? Or intimidate the contestants..."
Ivan talked endlessly, spending more than an hour successfully distorting the mermaid\'s understanding of Dumbledore\'s orders.
Of course, he doesn\'t intend to do anything bad. The main thing is to improve the difficulty of the second game and make it more exciting, so that the Warriors can have an epic clearance experience.
After doing all this, Ivan left the Black Lake very satisfied, ready to return to the dormitory to have a good rest.
But when passing by the Gryffindor lounge, Ivan unexpectedly saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione rushing over in a hurry.
"What\'s wrong with you?" Ivan asked in surprise.
"We found the clue, it\'s a mermaid!" Harry gasped, his expression was very excited, he said very quickly. "Remember the sound we heard that day? It was the singing of a mermaid!"
"How do you know that it\'s a mermaid? Has anyone provided any clues to you?" Ivan\'s expression immediately became a little serious, and he hurriedly asked.
Harry and Ron stopped talking, Hermione pursed her lips and looked a little angry.
Ivan looked at the expressions of the three of them, not knowing why, but fortunately, Harry promptly explained. "It was Hermione who found it. In the past few days, she had at least turned through hundreds of books that had something to do with sound. Finally, she saw a similar record in "Underwater Magical Creatures."
"Yes, she even suspected that it was some kind of special signal at first, such as what special information is hidden in the sound frequency, holding Harry\'s golden egg and listening to it more than a dozen times..." Ron also Added.
Ivan looked at Hermione, knew that he had made a mistake, and hurried to remedy it. "Sorry, Hermione, I shouldn\'t have said that..."
"You suspect that the person who put Harry\'s name into the Goblet of Fire will secretly tell Harry the clues of the second level?" Hermione interrupted Ivan before he could finish speaking, thoughtfully. Said.
"It\'s impossible! It\'s not that the mysterious man\'s subordinates suddenly kindly wanted to help Harry win the championship, right?" Ron said this, he couldn\'t help laughing.
Harry also looked at Ivan in confusion.
Ivan shrugged, feeling helpless. He couldn\'t tell what hadn\'t happened, so he had no choice but to talk nonsense. "The events in the Triwizard Tournament are very dangerous. If someone really wants to harm you, just telling you some wrong information on purpose will be deadly!"
Harry, Ron, and Hermione thought Ivan\'s casual nonsense made sense.
Imagine if someone tells the participating warriors that the first level they need to face is not a fire dragon but a few red hats, then everyone will be very relaxed and will not deliberately formulate targeted strategies, then wait until the real game. It is not impossible to lose the dragon\'s mouth.
"Since you already know that it is the singing of a mermaid, have you figured out the specific content of the second game?" Ivan asked.
Harry nodded hesitantly, then shook his head again, indicating that he only had some guesses that were not true or false, and then repeated the song he had heard.
"We cannot sing on the ground. When you search, please think carefully:
We snatched your most beloved baby. You only have one hour to find and retake the objects we took. After an hour, there is no hope. It has completely disappeared and will never appear. "
After Harry finished speaking, Hermione went on to explain. "I think the second game should be for you to sneak into the black lake to find something stolen by the mermaids. You only have one hour. Once you exceed it, the mermaids will take that thing forever. Failed!"
Ivan nodded. Hermione was basically on the point, but didn\'t guess that the one hiding at the bottom of the lake would be a hostage...
"But how can we stay underwater for a long time?" Harry quickly realized this serious problem after experiencing the joy of solving the puzzle.
When they were at home in the past, the Dursleys probably expected him to fall into the water and be drowned one day, so they never let him learn to swim.
In contrast, Dudley swims very well. He often brags about this, but Harry always thinks that there is nothing remarkable, because Dudley is fat like a large lifebuoy, and it can be quickly dropped into the water. Floating up.
"Otherwise you can try the Transfiguration Curse and turn yourself into a swimming fish or something." Hermione suggested, and then looked at Harry apologetically as if thinking of something.
"Oh, I almost forgot. This kind of transformation magic is not taught until the sixth grade, and it is very difficult to master. Ivan may be able to do it, but you definitely can\'t..."
"Yeah." Harry said weakly, thinking of ideas constantly in his mind, but unfortunately none of them could do it.
"You can use gills, Harry!" Ivan said suddenly.
"What? Cheek grass? What is that?" Harry turned his head hurriedly~www.mtlnovel.com~ looked at Ivan excitedly.
"A potion material, you can temporarily grow gills and webs after eating it, and you can breathe and move freely under the water," Ivan explained.
"Like those mermaids?" Hermione thought of the description of mermaids in the book "Fantastic Underwater Creatures".
"Almost, it\'s only partially deformed. It\'s definitely not as agile as a mermaid under water..." Ivan said, and there is another shortcoming he didn\'t mention, that is, the appearance will be uglier after deformation.
But Harry obviously didn\'t care about this. The fact that he could breathe freely underwater by eating a herb was enough to make him ecstatic-it meant he didn\'t have to be the first warrior ever to be drowned in a lake.
"Now there are still a few days before the start of the second game. You can find time to go to Hogsmeade Village to buy some gills, and when you are fine, go to the Black Lake to practice..."
Ivan reminded him, and then asked Harry to try to pretend that he hadn\'t found any clues, and try to pay attention to everyone who tried to reveal the news to him.
