"Elder, two wizards claiming to be Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have arrived at the Horde, what do you think of it?" the strong mermaid said in a low voice after saluting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sitting cross-legged in the depths of the palace, the mermaid elder did not seem to be a mermaid, but a very strange-looking wizard, his eyebrows and hair were long, snow-white, with deep wrinkles on his face, and in the middle of his forehead, a dark green scale, which was very conspicuous.

Although the main hall is illuminated by orbs, the empty space is still full of shadows.

Hearing the merfolk warrior's words, the elder who was surrounded by a strange pale blue light slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were also dark green, but there was no luster, like a pool of stinky green algae overflowing stagnant water.

"I see, you guys go down first, leave the two of them behind, and I'll take care of it. The Elder's deep voice resonated with the surrounding lake, and Hermione and Penelope felt the Elder's words ringing in their ears.

The two merfolk warriors respectfully exited the palace. The merfolk elder stood up from his position and turned his back to the two of them, "It's strange that it's the first time I've found such a merfolk tribe under the Black Lake. The first time I went to the wizarding world, I felt very strange. ”

"Elder, we are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and we only went into the Black Lagoon to find some potions, and if we offended you, we didn't mean to. Penelope Crivat still wanted a futile explanation.

"Of course, I know where you came from, the so-called school uniform you wore just some time ago is very beautiful and textured to the touch, unlike us mermaids, who can only wear clothes woven of seaweed and shells. "Elder Merfolk doesn't have a mermaid's tail, but walks on wizard-like legs!

Both Hermione and Penelope felt extremely depressed, not because of the orbs that glowed pale blue around them, but because of the elder's terrifying gaze, which was very uncomfortable.

"Wizards from the land, you probably haven't heard of the legend of our merfolk, and since your professor has allowed you to get here, I think you should hear the story of our merfolk. Elder Merfolk walked up to Hermione and stared at Hermione with a dark green gaze, Hermione felt as if her soul was about to freeze, and she couldn't help but tremble.

Penelope Crivat hurriedly grabbed Hermione with his hand, and the merfolk elder looked at Penelo Crivat. Penelope instantly felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over her head, but fortunately, she had been studying with Elder Dora during this time, and at this time, she almost instinctively thought of a spell that Elder Dora had taught her: "Divine Thought Guard!"

The spell could be cast without the need for a wand wizard, and was designed to deal with the dangers of being petrified or disarmed, and a strange wave emanated from Penelope's body, like a scorching sun, melting the cold aura that lingered around the two of them.

"Hey, it's elven magic! It's kind of interesting that a wizard can learn magic from elves. A green glow flashed in the merfolk elder's eyes, and Penelope and Hermione felt the powerful pressure around them disappear.

"You, what do you want to do? We're just students, and we have no ill will toward the merfolk tribe. Hermione recovered from her suffocating state and said in horror and anger.

The mermaid elder sneered, thought for a moment before saying, "The current wizard is really too weak. You even seem to have some secrets, you are lucky today, yes, since you are here, you should talk with me for a while. ”

Penelope and Hermione glanced at each other, both seeing fear and nervousness in each other's eyes. "But we're running out of gill grass, and we've got companions waiting above the Black Lake, and she'll be very worried if we don't go back. Penelope said.

This incident revealed a strange thing, and if these merfolk had a hatred for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it was impossible for the headmaster and professor not to know about it. While the two of them were puzzled, they could only take this method for the time being, reminding the terrible mermaid elder that Hogwarts might send a professor down at any time.

"Haha, that's interesting. Little girl, you don't know who I am, do you think your little cleverness can scare me?" The merfolk elder waved his finger slightly, and the dark green line of water, which was distinctly different from the current around them, circled around Penelope and Hermione twice, and both of them felt as if something had changed in their bodies, and they became able to breathe freely underwater.

"My strength is not at all what you can imagine, the wizard in the castle on the shore, only the elder of the elves may be able to match me, your so-called principal, he still has a gap with me, not to mention that now you are really at the bottom of the black lake, this is my world, your dependence, when you get to this underwater, I am afraid that you can't even exert your general strength, let alone my opponent. So little girl, don't play tricks on me, it will only make me angry. ”

Elder Merfolk's naked warnings and strange magic silenced both Penelope and Hermione, who had no idea why they had encountered such a dangerous situation.

"When you say Elven Elder, do you mean Elder Dora?" Penelope said softly.

"Elder Dora, I'm not familiar with this name, it's been so long that I can't remember how long it has been since I made it to shore, and if it weren't for your display of elven magic, I'm afraid you two would have been here for a while. The merfolk elder glanced at Penelope with a cold gaze.

"But why did you keep us, we're just ordinary students?" asked Hermione, still puzzled.

"Haha, little girl, you're curious. It's a long story, and if you want to hear it, I can tell you. Penelope and Hermione looked at each other again, although they both wanted to leave here immediately, but they couldn't figure out the temper of the mermaid elder, and they didn't know what would happen if they rejected the mermaid elder at this time.

The merfolk elder continued to himself, "I can't remember how many years it has been, but before this castle became a noisy school, this was the territory of our merfolk tribe. In the castle lived a baron, a former general, who fought valiantly and was powerless, but unfortunately no mortal could resist the erosion of time, and when the baron grew old, his body quickly collapsed. ”

"The Baron, who is tormented by the wounds of his past every day, meets by chance a member of our merfolk tribe, who has heard the legend of the Banshee of the Lake, and who helps us to be the legendary Lake Elf, who prays to us for magical powers and wants to regain our health. Unfortunately, the wizarding world was in turmoil at the time, and the location of the Black Lake was too sensitive for any movement to expose us, so I decided to refuse the baron's request. ”

Just as a person who is born blind is not accustomed to being blind, if a person is born unhealthy, he will be more tolerant of sickness. It was a pity that the baron had always had such a healthy and strong body, and now the pain had completely made him lose his mind. He promised us the greatest price he could pay in exchange for our magic to heal him of his illness. With that, the mermaid elder turned his head and looked at the two young girls.

"Want to know what the price is?" the merfolk elder looked at the two with a terrifying gaze.

"It's the blood and flesh of all the virgins in his territory!" Elder Merfolk erupted with an indescribable dark aura all over his body, and the entire hall seemed to be plunged into the underworld, and the water temperature seemed to reach zero degrees in an instant, and Penelope and Hermione looked at Elder Mermaid with trembling.

"It's delicious! Even to the gods, virgins have a certain value, let alone those pure and innocent maidens! Everything is fine, whether it is land or black lake, it is our mermaid's pasture, and every year the baron sacrifices three young girls in exchange for his own health for a year. If it goes on like this, or in ten more years, I will be able to break through again and reach the heights I have never reached before!"

"But... Why are you going against me, the Black Lake was originally my ranch, even if the land around the Black Lake is also the territory of our mermaid tribe, you wizards can change the laws of nature at will with their powerful magic, you are all robbers!"

Penelope and Hermione, who didn't know the ins and outs of the matter at all, watched as the mermaid elder continued to swell, his body was sharply deformed, and in less than a few breaths, he had doubled in height, his legs turned into huge fish tails, and the wizard's appearance disappeared, turning into an extremely strong mermaid!

"Not only did you cut off my sacrifices, but you also worked together to banish me into darkness, leaving me in a deep sleep for so long! If it weren't for me just on the edge of a breakthrough, it might have been an eternal sleep!"

When the powerful magic of the mermaid was about to suffocate again, Penelope repeated his old trick and used Elder Dora's secret inheritance again, relying on his magic power to temporarily free the two of them from the oppression.

The mermaid elder who had only recently been freed from the seal, although the prototype appeared in his rage, his extremely high realm still allowed him to easily control his emotions. After roaring, the mermaid elder quickly regained his appearance as an old human man, "I don't understand this to you, it's nothing more than the jungle, you are just a young beast of the tribe, not to mention a female." I can let you go, but you have to promise me one condition. ”

"We... We... What conditions do you want us to promise you?" said Penelo Crivat, plucking up courage.

"Actually, it's not too difficult to precinct, the first is that you can't tell anyone about what you saw me today, and second, I need you to gather information for me, I want to know the current situation in the wizarding world. Elder Mermaid said coldly.

"We won't tell anyone about today's events, but we are still students to collect information, and we have no access to any useful information. Hermione said.

"Hmph, I know you're still students, just do your best to collect it. ”

"Well, we agreed. Penelope Krivat replied.

"Don't think you can lie to me, I have fully remembered your breath, and if you dare to deceive me, death may be your best destination. Elder Merfolk said coldly and without any emotion.

Penelope Crivat and Hermione looked at each other again, then nodded together.

"Now that you've made the right decision, as a reward, I can give you the potions you need, tell the guard what you need, and he'll give it to you directly. Elder Mermaid slowly waved his finger, and a small pale green fish swam out of his hand, and soon brought the two warriors just now.

"Take them down, help them gather the potions they need, and send them back to the lake. Remember, every time the crescent moon appears, you must come to the lake, and I will arrange for the merfolk to meet you and give him the information you have gathered, you know?" said the merfolk elder to Hermione and Penelope Crivat.

The two hurriedly nodded obediently. The effect of the gill grass has long passed, but the two of them can still breathe freely underwater, which makes Hermione and Penelope, who have returned to their wizard appearance, very shocked, as far as they know, this magical transformation technique does not change the appearance of the wizard, but the transformation technique that allows the wizard to obtain the ability to transform the form has never been mastered by a wizard in the mortal world.

After the two described what they needed to the mermaid warrior, the merfolk warrior quickly helped the two of them collect everything, and finally escorted the two to the shallow water before slowly returning to the merfolk tribe.

Hermione and Penelope struggled to swim to the shore, and after the gill grass effect had passed, the two of them had no flippers and flippers, and swam very slowly, and finally reached the shore, but fortunately, the strange magic that could breathe in the water had not disappeared, and although the two were embarrassed, they were not in danger of drowning.

"Hermione, Penelope, I'm worried about you coming up more than an hour later than expected, except for something!" Ginny shouted as she saw the two of them emerge in the slightly lighter rain.

Hearing Ginny's shout, the two of them were also shocked and struggled to swim to the small pier of the Black Lake. After going ashore, Ginny hurriedly took out another bottle of dragon's blood potion, and the two of them drank a little and put on a blanket before they stopped trembling.

"What the hell is going on, why are you only back now, I'm almost going to the professor!" asked Ginny hurriedly.

"Ginny, don't ask so much, you help us inform Andrew that we meet in the classroom!" After calming down slightly, Hermione said to Ginny seriously.

Ginny looked at the two of them suspiciously, Penelope nodded, and Hermione helped each other to stand up, the rainstorm outside was a little lighter, but it was still like a river of heaven falling. Fortunately, the effect of dragon blood to remember is very obvious, and the two of them not only slowly warmed up their bodies, but also regained some physical strength.

"Now that it's raining, why don't we wait a little longer and go back to the castle?" said Ginny.

"No, Ginny, you go to Andrew now, Hermione and I will be waiting together in the empty classroom in the dungeon, so Andrew must come now. Penelo Crivat said with the same seriousness.
