Madam Pomfrey, the school doctor, checked on Penelo Crevat's condition, and it wasn't too bad, she was just stunned by the powerful magical shockwave, and she was able to recover quickly after a period of rest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Headmaster Dundedo specifically checked to see if the Tribal Morten had left any other sequelae on her body, and found nothing for the time being, Hermione was in better condition, and after arriving at the hospital, she had woken up. And Ginny, although still in a coma, is in a very stable condition and should recover immediately.

"Hermione Granger, can you tell me what happened to you?" Principal Dumbledore's half-moon glasses looked at Hermione, making her a little uncomfortable.

Hermione glanced at Andrew and said, "Penelope and I wanted to go to the Black Lake to find the materials needed for the ancient potion, and with the help of the gill grass, we dived into the lake and swam for more than ten minutes, and somehow we arrived at a mermaid tribe that we had never heard of again. ”

"Hermione, how do you know they're merfolk, and why do you call them tribes?" Xie An asked.

"They look the same as the mermaids in the Magical Creature Illustrated Book, but they are different from the fairy tales. A mermaid with a human body and a fishtail that looks more like a fish than a fish. As for the tribes, it's because they live in a place that is very much like a village, with houses made of seaweed, and they are clustered together. Hermione thought for a moment and said.

"So that's what happened?"

"Then we were discovered by the mermaid tribesmen, and they restricted our movement and took us to their elder, who was very strange, he looked like an old man, and he was also very fierce to us, but for some reason, after a while, he let us go. Hermione felt like she was trying to remember, the conversation with the merfolk elder became blurry, it seemed like a long time ago, but it happened a few hours ago.

"Is your memory blurry?" Xie An asked hurriedly as he stared at Hermione, seeing her puzzled expression.

"Andrew, I don't know what's going on, it's just now, but I can't remember what Elder Merfolk looked like, and what he said to us, what the hell is going on?" asked Hermione, confused.

Xie An and Deng Liduo glanced at each other, and the principal said, "Don't think about it so much, now you can rest, what you said is enough, we will investigate it clearly." ”

Hermione struggled to remember what had happened, but as hard as she tried to grasp the sand in her hand, she forgot more. Unwilling to continue to work hard, Hermin felt that there seemed to be a good voice roaring in his skull, it seemed to be a thunderstorm outside, and it looked like the roar of some monster, Hermione had a headache, "Hermione, don't think so much, now have a good rest!" Xie An saw Hermione's painful expression, and hurriedly grabbed her hand, wanting to comfort her.

was suddenly grabbed by Andrew's somewhat cold hand, Hermione was slightly stunned, Andrew never took the initiative to pull his hand, this sudden intimate action calmed Hermione.

"My memory has been altered?" Hermione was so clever that she calmed down and easily understood the point.

"I'm afraid yes, Hermione, modifying a wizard's memory requires extremely powerful magical power, and it requires extremely advanced magic spells, which are difficult for ordinary wizards to do. The so-called mermaid clan elder you met is probably not an ordinary mermaid, don't think about it now, otherwise it will only increase the pain in vain. Xie An comforted.

"Is there any way to recover my memory?" asked Hermione, with some concern.

Xie An looked at Principal Deng Liduo, and the principal said, "Don't be obsessed with those past things, we will have other ways to investigate clearly." Hermione Granger, what you need right now is rest, not thinking. Memory modifications will not affect your magical talents, but they may make you feel less clear for a while, so you can rest well so that you can recover quickly. ”

Since the headmaster said so, Hermione could only nod and lie down again, the school doctor Madam Pomfrey brought a strange plant, this plant is very similar to a small yellow duck made of rubber, the school doctor Madam Pomfrey gently shook the duck's neck, the duck's beak spewed out a cloud of green mist, Hermione was caught off guard and took a breath, and immediately fainted.

"The effect of the star grass can last for one night, and there are no headache side effects, and after a day of rest, these three girls should be fine. But their memories, Albus, you know, I can't do anything about it. Madam Pomfrey, the school doctor, took this strange plant spray and sprayed it in front of each of the three, and Ginny, although she had not been in direct contact with the mermaid elder, was also sprayed.

"Well, it's okay, I'll figure it out. Andrew, come with me. Principal Dumbledore nodded, and turned to leave.

Xie An and Professor Lan followed behind and walked out of the door of the ward, and President Deng Liduo said, "Professor Lan, it seems that things are more difficult than I thought. A living tribe of Morteng, even if I banish its doppelganger, if you give it time, it will soon be able to create another one. In this case, the Black Lake and Hogwarts Castle may become the targets of its attack, and if we don't take measures in time, I'm afraid the students will be in danger. ”

"What the hell is going on? What kind of creatures are the so-called fish-people in the Black Lake of Hogwarts, and are they the same species as the mermaids in the South China Sea in the Far East?"

In ancient times, all things were animist, especially the so-called demigods, who were the most free. In order to survive, the demon gods have to plan and fight all the time, and if they are not careful, they will become the food of other demon gods, and the human beings at the bottom have a short lifespan, and they run around for food and livelihood every day, and their lives are even more miserable, and they have no time to enjoy life.

Only the demigods in the middle level are the freeest, especially those half-blood demigods, who have no possibility of becoming demon gods, and at the same time have long lives, strange talents, and most of them live in mountains, deep seas and lakes, enjoying their lives wantonly.

Among them are the so-called Qingqiu fox, the giant demon of the North Sea, and the legend of the mermaid and mermaid. Among the wizards who live by the sea, the most widespread is the so-called mermaid legend. One theory is that the mermaids are handsome sea elf-like creatures who are caring and will help lost ships get back to port, while other legends say the opposite: the male mermaids are ugly and murderous, and the mermaids are beautiful and cunning, singing to lure ships and eventually kill them all.

Xie An didn't know anything about the origin of the mermaid, and even the mermaid in the Black Lagoon at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry only recently learned about it, and he had always thought it was just a story.

"Speaking of which, there are many things in it, and I am afraid that the headmasters of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will know the secrets of this secret. Since the incident has already happened today, if I keep it a secret, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary danger. It just so happens that Principal Lan, you and I are old friends, let me tell you about it first, and you can help me sort out the twists and turns. Headmaster Dundwarts was slightly distracted, his eyes turned like a meteor, and he said slowly: "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was originally founded by four founders, but Hogwarts Castle was not built by four founders. ”

"The castle has a long history, once owned by a Muggle nobleman who was a battlefield general who retired and was enthroned by the king. He was old, and when he was young, old wounds began to recur, and the miserable general, in order to regain his health, made a pact with the merfolk in the black lake, and sacrificed the people in his territory in exchange for year after year of health. ”

This brutal exchange lasted for more than a decade, and the brutal rule of the Muggle nobles provoked a revolt among the people in the country, but the regained health of the general, with his strong force, commanded his well-trained veterans and easily defeated the Muggle peasant rebellion. ”

"The general killed these Muggles who dared to resist, beheaded all the men, and sold all their wives and children to strangers as slaves. Among them was a child under the age of ten, who was sold to the far north. There, he desperately escaped from his master's house, and was lucky not to freeze to death by the cold, nor was he bitten to death by wolves, and by chance, he met a witch who lived in seclusion in the jungle. The witch saw that he had the gift of a wizard, but she didn't know how to use it, so she took him in. ”

The witch continued to teach him magic, so that he learned the art of transfiguration, potion configuration, and the teenage child gradually grew up, and after 7 years, the witch called the young boy to her side and looked at him carefully. ”

The young man was accustomed to this kind of scrutiny, and every once in a while the witch would let the young man come to her, put on new clothes, and look at him happily for a long time. At first, the young man thought that the witch regarded herself as a son, and wanted to see herself grow up day by day, and she was very happy, but then the young man began to feel that something was wrong, and the fanaticism in the witch's eyes seemed to be looking not at people, but at an object, a flawless work of art!"

This powerful witch is a hundred years old, but she cannot live forever if she is not a demigod, and in recent years, she has clearly felt the footsteps of death. She researched hard to find potions to stop death, but failed. It wasn't until she saw this boy that she suddenly remembered an extremely evil spell, a spell that could deprive others of their bodies!"

Speaking of this, Dumbledore looked at Xie An, who had always suspected that Andrew Lee was a wizard who was deprived of his body and reborn by others, but after a long period of observation, Dumbledore found that things were not like that, but worse. Andrew's dark power is not caused by any dark magic at all, let alone being deprived of his body, but he himself is the embodiment of darkness, and he was born like that.

The situation was so bad that Dumbledore couldn't make up his mind at this time, and he couldn't tell what it meant. The dark is more destructive, but not all of them are evil.

Xie An was inexplicably looked at by Deng Liduo, of course he didn't know that Deng Liduo had such suspicions.

"The witch brought the young man to her side, but she was appreciating the new body and new life she was about to get. After a few hours of satisfying watching, the witch let the young man go. She also decided, tonight, to strip the young man's body and complete her own rebirth. ”

The young man, who found things getting more and more weird, had another thought, and that night he used Transfiguration to transform a piece of wood into his own appearance and slept on the bed instead of himself. He took on his own Animagus form, a spotted python coiled over the roof. In the middle of the night, the witch thought that the young man was sleeping on the bed defenselessly, casting magic, wanting to strip the young man's soul, seeing the witch's hideous face, and the terrible spell, the young man finally knew the witch's terrible plan, just when he hesitated to attack the witch, the witch found that the young man on the bed was wooden, and in a rage, she began to look for the young man. At that time, the Animagus was not as difficult to achieve as it is now, many wizards could become their own Animagus, and the boy had only recently mastered this powerful magic, and he didn't have time to tell the witch for a while. The witch searched everywhere, but the young man was nowhere to be found. ”

The young man thought that this was the end of the matter, although she had received the grace of the witch to save her life, but she wanted to harm herself, and it was already her duty not to take revenge. Who knew that the witch saw that she couldn't find the young man, and she was unwilling to let her path of rebirth be cut off like this, so she didn't hesitate to consume her remaining magic power and launched a curse on the young man!"

Under the curse, it was difficult for the young man to maintain his Animagus form, and he fell from the roof to take on the appearance of a wizard. At this point, things are in a life-or-death situation, the witch scolds the youth for being ungrateful, and the youth struggles against the witch's curse. Under the stalemate between the two, the boy actually relied on his young body and unyielding will to defeat the witch in the battle of souls, and finally saved his body. The witch who ran out of magic eventually died unwillingly. "Deng Liduo's explanation is very careful, but I don't know what it has to do with the mermaid tribe in the Black Lake.

"Lord Headmaster, is this wizard the same Demon Teng?" Professor Lan couldn't help but ask.

"No, he's the ancestor of Salazar Slytherin!" said Dumbledore calmly.

"Ah, he's the ancestor of Slytherin, what the hell is going on?" Principal Lan asked hurriedly.

"The Slytherin Ancestor saved his body and killed the witch at the same time, and he no longer wanted to stay there, thinking of his childhood hometown, he headed south to Hogwarts. At this time, the Muggle aristocracy still maintained his brutal rule, but there were fewer and fewer Muggles under his rule, and he did not wait to do the bandit business, catching Muggles from elsewhere in exchange for his own health. ”

"The ancestors of Slytherin want to avenge their families, although the Muggle nobles are easy to deal with, but the mermaid tribe behind him is an extremely powerful magical creature, plus the tribal demons, relying on the magic of the Slytherin ancestors, they can't deal with it at all. He racked his brains before he finally came up with a solution. He learned a good potion from the witch and inherited some of the witch's treasures, and he pretended to be captured and taken into the castle. With the potions he had prepared, the Slytherin Ancestor quickly took control of the castle, and then he managed to get in touch with the merfolk and invite their tribe's merfolk to the castle for a feast. ”

"Merfolk generally can't leave the Black Lake, but after more than twenty years of sacrifice, they have become arrogant and unsuspicious, and easily agreed to the invitation of the Muggle nobles, and almost all the merfolk came ashore to the castle that day, and the Muggle general, who had long been controlled by the Slytherin ancestors, ordered his soldiers to kill all the merfolk! When they got to the shore, even if they had a thousand catties of strength, they couldn't use it, and after some fierce resistance, only a small part escaped, and when they sneaked back to the tribe, they found that the entire tribe had also become a ruin, a ruin. Salazar Slytherin's ancestors have united with several other powerful wizards to attack the merfolk tribe, destroying the entire village, blowing up the village's altars, and sealing the merfolk tribe's moteng!

The scale in the middle of Morteng's forehead turned out to be not a mermaid scale at all, but the vengeful scale left by Salazar Slytherin's ancestor to seal the tribe Morteng!
