What does that mean?!

Harry was a little confused as he looked at the serpent with its eyes closed.

There shouldn't be any danger, it looks so pitiful! Harry thought, of course, he wasn't stupid. He stepped back a long distance, then raised his wand and asked,

"Are you hungry?"

His voice was neither loud nor small, just enough to reach the serpent's ears.

He ...... He is the same as the master...... Can talk to me! ”

The serpent heard Harry's voice with fear in his tone. Then, the irrefutable will that lies deep in the genes hits like a torrent.

This is the natural control of the Parseltongue over the snakes.

"Yes, Thad is hungry!" It replied hoarsely. The sound is no longer choppy.

Harry was slightly relieved to see that it hadn't attacked, "You can't hurt anyone, can you?" ”

"Yes, the master does not allow me to hurt people."

Master? This guy was raised? Harry was horrified, and kept looking around to see if his master was here.

"Who is your master? Can you tell me! ”

"My host is Salazar Slytherin. He ordered me to guard Hogwarts here while the Muggles attacked here......"

"Slytherin! Your host is a Slytherin?! Harry asked incredulously.

"Yes, my master is a Slytherin." It affirms that it pronounces the words unusually clear when it comes to the name.

"So how long have you been here!" Harry asked as calmly as he could, even though there was something inexplicable about this place that was attracting him, what was happening now made him want to leave.

"I don't know!" The serpent still replied that it could not disobey a Parseltongue unless another Parseltongue was present here and had more Slytherin blood than Harry.

Its hierarchical order is: Slytherin → Slytherin's descendants→ Parseltongue

Harry was the third. It is also the only one that belongs to the third order. Because his Parseltongue abilities come from Voldemort's remnant soul.

The Parseltongue is a talent that can only be inherited. The first recorded Parseltongue is Hellpo, the vile, and then Merlin. Perhaps he shouldn't be said to be a parseltongue, as Merlin can communicate with any living being.

Then there are the Slytherins.

"You ......" Harry was about to continue asking when he heard an explosion behind him.

It was the sound of a high-speed object breaking through the frenzied stream of water.

A stone spear grazed Harry's waist and shot straight at the serpent.

Although its eyes were closed, it had been relying on the snake hyacinth to gather the surrounding situation, and the stone spear was empty.

It didn't hurt it, but it did break Harry's communication with it. Sade turned back, his body writhing rapidly, and the next second, he disappeared into the dense aquatic weeds.

"Goo-goo-goo."

An inexplicable voice rang out beside Harry. He turned his head to see four creatures with a human upper body and a fish lower body standing beside him, and perhaps he should call them mermaids.

The merfolk had iron-gray skin and long, unkempt dark green hair. Their eyes are yellow, their mutilated teeth are yellow, and they wear pebbles strung with thick ropes around their necks. They surrounded Harry, smiling maliciously at him.

They all had spears in their hands, and their thick and powerful silver tails slapped against the water.

In the next moment, Harry's hand hurt, and his wand was pulled away.

Harry turned his head to see that at some point a merfolk ran up behind him and snatched his wand.

"Why would I want to come here?" Harry thought to himself in despair. What else could he do without his wand!

Seeing that Harry didn't speak, one of the fishmen swam up, he looked a little stronger than the others, and wore a necklace of shark teeth around his neck.

He swam up to Harry, speaking broken English. "You four are from Nari, fish-man." ”

"You misunderstood, I'm not a fishman, I'm a wizard!" Harry tried to explain, and gestured to his wand.

The mermaid tilted her head in confusion when she heard Harry's words, but she didn't think much of it.

In fact, he was just doing his business, and the whole tribe did not rest tonight, but was told by the elders that a guest would come here tonight.

Just invite him back then.

As for how please!

Thinking about it, the merfolk muttered twice in a language Harry didn't understand, and then they pointed the finger at Harry.

A merfolk on Harry's side poked Harry with the tip of a spear, and if he didn't have scales, he would have been poked blood. He motioned for Harry to go in that direction.

Harry wanted to explain, "This is Hogwarts, you can't do that!" However, no one paid attention to him, and when he did not leave, the fellow poked him again.

The other merfolk also came closer with bad intentions, and one of the spears was about to poke him in the eye.

"What are you going to do!" Harry called. The body was forced to swim that way.

In this way, no matter what he called, no one paid attention to him, but the merfolk were talking to themselves what Harry didn't understand, and every time Harry tried to speak, they would poke or whip him with spears.

At the back, Harry could only walk in despair, while the fishmen were happy, laughing along the way.

It wasn't long before Harry saw a village.

Harry swam in, a village of rough stone dwellings streckled with algae. Harry saw some faces in the dark windows.

This is what Hermione said about the merfolk in the Black Lake, Harry thought.

I don't know if Dumbledore will find himself. Who knew I was here! If only someone knew I wasn't in the dorm tonight, and then they went to complain and forced Ron to come to me after he told me where I was.

Harry prayed in his heart. At the same time, he was poked in the back again, signaling him to swim faster.

He had to swim forward quickly, looking around, and soon there were more and more stone dwellings, some with gardens around them. He saw a small Grimlody tied to a door. Merfolk emerged from all directions, all looking at him curiously, pointing at his webbed hands and gill sacs, and whispering with their hands over their mouths.

Then, Harry was taken around the corner, and a very strange sight appeared before him.

The place seemed to be the square of a merfolk village, surrounded by houses with a large school of merfolk floating in front of them.

Among them was an extremely old mermaid who was carried in a basket made of aquatic plants.

Harry now felt like a zoo animal, swimming around him, smiling and pointing at him.

They don't want to put me in a cage and keep it for them to watch! Harry thought.

He was taken here, but his destination was not here, and after a moment of staying here he heard a sound from the basket being carried, and then the merfolk who were watching him dispersed reluctantly.

There were only a few merfolk left, two of them carrying the basket and the old merfolk inside, and the other two stayed behind Harry staring at him.

And the merfolk with her wand gave her wand to the old merfolk in the basket.

The remaining bony hand picked up his wand and rubbed it against it, as if looking at an intricate work of art.

Then, he casually raised his hand and waved his index finger to the right. Harry was escorted over there. The old mermaids swam ahead.

After swimming slowly for another while, Harry suddenly felt his head poked.

He turned his head and looked viciously at the merfolk who poked him in the head, startling the other man. After reacting to it, he yelled at Harry in shame, pointing his finger underneath.

Harry turned around and saw the merfolk in front of him carrying baskets and starting to swim down.

Harry had no choice but to go downstream.

Coming down, he was escorted into a cave. The merfolk carrying the basket were still walking ahead, and Harry was pushed. He looked back, but the two merfolk behind him had not entered the cave, and they looked at Harry menacingly, motioning for him to continue swimming forward.

Harry could only reluctantly follow behind, the cave was narrow, and he really had no other room to escape.

The walls of the caves here are filled with unknown algae that glow with a faint blue glow that illuminates the entire cave.

After a short swim, estimated to be no more than 50 feet, Harry followed them into a large hole, like a room. The room was a little dark, and he couldn't see clearly even in his current state, but he could only see a lot of things.

When they got inside, they put down the basket they were carrying on their shoulders and walked out of the cave.

As he passed Harry, a merfolk was still grinning at Harry, and Harry glared back.

As soon as they left, the entrance to the cave was blocked by a large rock that suddenly appeared.

"Sit down, kid." The mermaid in the basket of aquatic plants spat out fluent English. He raised Harry's wand tremblingly, and with a wave of his hand, a large patch of seaweed sprang out on the ground behind Harry, and then weaved into the shape of a chair.

Harry didn't sit down, he viciously questioned the old guy in the basket, "Why the hell did you tie me here, this is Hogwarts." ”

The merfolk waved his wand again, and the basket began to change, like a bed, supporting him.

His tail flapped weakly, and his whole body was extremely thin. Many of the scales have fallen off, leaving only ugly, hideous colloidal skin.

"We have no ill will! You came on your own, didn't you? Although his body looked weak, his voice was sonorous and powerful.

With that, he pulled out a small ball of grass, and the slit of the ball of grass flowed with slime that was insoluble, and Harry felt a chill.

The old man pinch the grass ball, and squeezed out a lot of mucus and stuck it on his hand, which was particularly disgusting to look at.

But this pinching action seemed to be like turning on some switch, and the disgusting grass ball suddenly became very attractive to him.

It was disgusting visually, but Harry's body still conveyed the desire to get the ball of grass.

This is the kind of thing that has been attracting Harry all the time.

"You ...... Deliberately! Why did you bring me here? Are you also Voldemort's lackeys? Harry roared, wondering how he could get the news out.

He didn't feel like he could live anymore.

"Voldemort? He doesn't look down on us as inferior! The old mermaid said, his tone a little decadent. It seems to be reluctant to admit that he is an inferior race

Harry noticed that he wasn't the same as the merfolk outside, his skin wasn't iron-blue, and he didn't talk like the guys out there.

Those guys out there...... How to say it! They also have a sense of uncivility. It's like a wild man. But the old man in front of him gave him a different feeling.

He was like an old wise man, speaking slowly and logically, and although his body was so decrepit and old, his eyes and tone were still full of spirit.

Just like Dumbledore.

The old manfish tucked the ball back behind him, and Harry didn't know where he had put it, but the inexplicable attraction was gone.

"You can call me Seri. It doesn't matter if you call it directly, or if you call it Old Serry. Anything is casual. Said the old mermaid named Seri.

"I have no ill will, this is your wand!" As he spoke, he waved Harry's wand, "I can see that you are a little wizard, and the elves don't use wands, and humans have been using them since I was still on land. A small root, very convenient. ”

With that, he flung his wand forward, and Harry's wand flowed back into his hand.

"Why don't you sit down?" Seri glanced at Harry, "Don't worry, I just wanted to talk to you." ”

Harry took the wand and felt a little relieved, and before he could say anything, he felt a tremendous force he could not resist pressing him into a chair made of aquatic weeds.

With a wave of his hand, the originally dark cavern lit up.

The blinding color shone on Harry and made him pause for a moment.

The corals that grew on the walls, as well as various algae and some creatures he didn't know about, fluttered and wriggled with the current.

They all glow differently on the stone walls, providing light and oxygen to the place.

There are a lot of things in the huge cave space, and many stout plants are hanging from the stone wall above. These plants are fishing with different things wrapped around the ends of the hanging.

With a wave of his hand, one of those plants quickly stretched out and floated down, placing the end entanglement into Old Serry's hand.

It was a rusty, green algae trident on it.

"Are you a wizard?" Seri took the trident and kept wiping it with her thin hands, and asked Harry softly.

"Of course I'm a wizard!" Harry tried to wave his wand so he could take a good look, but he couldn't move his hand at all, and was pressed against the chair by the huge current.

"Do you think you look like a wizard?" Seri laughed.

"I ......"

Seri seemed to anticipate that he would not be able to speak, and continued to ask. "What do you think you look like now?"

"I ......"

"Still can't tell? I'll tell you! Seri had finally wiped down the trident, it was golden all over, and its head was sharp, as if a cold glow had flashed through it.

Seeing this, Seri smiled with satisfaction and stabbed forward with his halberd. Harry, who couldn't move, was a little scared.

"You are an 'ancestor', from Atlantis!"

"Ancestors?" Harry repeated in confusion.

"That's right! An ancestor. Seri said, adding in his heart that I knew the only one in the world.

The name Seri was actually used when he traveled on land as a young man.

Taken from English: Three

His mermaid name is relatively plain, called Yu San.
