Chapter 606: The Kraken and the Mermaid
Regarding the question of the golden egg, Harry had asked Van Lin, but since Cedric had already reminded Harry, Van Lin didn't take it very seriously.
He hadn't even touched Harry's golden egg, but Van Lin knew something about the noise.
In fact, for the sake of the Triwizard Tournament, Van Lin deliberately went to learn the language of the mermaid.
In fact, there are impressions of merfolk that Muggle memories are still stuck in that rosy stage.
According to the traditional theory, the mermaid is bounded by the waist, the upper body is a woman, and the lower body is a beautiful fish tail covered with scales, and the whole body is both seductive and easy to escape quickly. They have no soul and are as merciless as the sea, their voices are often as deceptive as they look, and they are all characterized by seduction, vanity, beauty, cruelty, and desperate love.
However, after really seeing it with his own eyes, Fan Lin felt that the legend or something was really too.
The merfolk were unimaginably ugly, with gray-black skin, sharp teeth, and no magic.
The most noteworthy thing is the mermaid's song, which should be the only commendable thing about the mermaid race.
Of course, the legends aren't all false.
Sailing in the oceans, they should be most afraid of the sirens, in fact, most of the merfolk that Muggles see are sirens, that is, the Sirens of wizards.
The Kraken was actually originally a sea youkai, and because it was so ugly that it often frightened humans and made them afraid to approach the coast, the Kraken discovered that there was no prey to catch, and as their memories passed, they began to evolve into beautiful women.
This was similar to the evolution of the Siren in the temples dedicated to the god of the sea or the goddess of the sea in Greece, and Van Lin only learned about it after visiting Greece.
It can be said that in order to survive, the entire race of Krakens has evolved for the better.
Most of the Krakens are mostly mermaids, and most of the Krakens rarely attack or get close to humans, so most of them maintain the appearance of half-human and half-fish, in order to use their voices and appearances to deceive people.
For example, Odysseus in Greek mythology once came into contact with the mermaid siren, in Greek mythology, only the male mermaid belonged to the child of the sea god, and the mermaid was only a kind of kraken and did not belong to the god attribute.
Therefore, in Greek mythology and some countries influenced by Greek mythology, they called a person who saw a mermaid and came back alive when he went out to sea as a brave man, but if he found a mermaid on the shore, it was considered ominous.
If you really understand it, it seems that the merfolk can be classified as an inferior branch of the Kraken.
However, the mermaid ...... It should be said that the language of the Kraken is also a kind of writing endowed with extremely strong magical fluctuations.
The vast amount of water attribute magic contained in the Siren's words was extremely important to Van Lin.
Fan Lin has basically determined his own path, and in terms of attribute magic, one way to go to the dark, so naturally, this kind of low-level writing that was abandoned by wizards is much more important in the eyes of Fan Lin.
There is an entire merfolk tribe in the Black Lake.
It can be said that life at Hogwarts is extremely comfortable for merfolk, even if these merfolk are not krakens who can perform huge water magic, but the preservation of an entire tribe must be something that has been handed down from ancient times.
These merfolk are not humans, and there are no major changes in their clans, so it can be said that the mermaid tribe is probably the most complete race in the world.
This is more similar to the Centaur tribe, except that the intelligence of the Centaur is destined to make it impossible for them to be ordinary, and on land, they always have to avoid contact with humans.
Even in the Muggle world, there are many legends about centaurs and humans.
It can be said that man has conquered the earth, but the ocean has never been the domain of man to conquer.
The vast ocean occupies most of the world's area, and, according to Muggle research, the origin of civilization is from the ocean.
Perhaps wizards can harvest a lot of things in the ocean, at least, there are not a few precious magical materials in the ocean.
Whether it's for Harry or for himself, dealing with the merfolk of Hogwarts Castle should be unavoidable.
If it was said that there was a group of krakens in the Black Lake, Fan Lin still dispelled this idea as soon as possible.
The powerful Van Lin of the Siren was well read when he was in Greece, and it was recorded in the sacrificial temple that the magic of those Sirens was endowed with powerful water attribute magic, and the Siren's body was extremely powerful, so to speak, it was equivalent to a powerful warrior in the human race.
Moreover, in the ocean, humans are no match for the Kraken, and even if the Kraken does not use magic, the Kraken's strong body and speed will definitely make you despair.
The most important thing is that Fan Lin still firmly remembered the words monster in his heart.
The Kraken is made beautiful by hunting humans, and it can be said that the Kraken is not friendly to humans.
However, if it's a mermaid, you can rest assured.
Although the mermaid is a branch of the Kraken and also controls the civilization of the Kraken, it is impossible for a mermaid without the ability to attract magic to be as powerful as the Kraken.
Van Lin has consulted a lot of information.
In fact, the merfolk who have mastered the power of magic have probably evolved into the form of a kraken, as confirmed by wizards.
Beautiful human upper body.
Van Lin remembered that he had seen it in the alchemical materials that Nicolame had given him.
A mad alchemist experiments with a merfolk and tries to get his merfolk to master the magic of the Kraken.
However, the end result was not satisfactory.
Eventually, the merfolk mastered some of the Kraken's magic, but due to a large amount of magical transformation, the mermaid's acquired abilities died soon after.
However, it also provided a possibility for wizards that merfolk could also master magic, and naturally, it provides strong evidence for the ancient legend of merfolk and humans falling in love.
The mermaid who came ashore, this is really a good topic, for the mermaid, the appearance is just a form, an evolved form.
This opens up the possibilities to the mermaids.
There is nothing that magic can't do except create, and if there is, then it must be that magic isn't powerful enough......
The merfolk clan of Hogwarts has existed with the Black Lake for a long time, even older than Hogwarts, and Van Lin is looking forward to coming into contact with the merfolk.
Words, as well as magical materials, these are all things that Van Lin needs.
