Luke glanced at Dumbledore, who was standing beside him, and asked with some confusion.

"You know him?"

On the other side, Mead had an excited look on his face the moment he saw him. It's like seeing some kind of savior. He finally shook off the group of women beside him. Then he walked briskly in the direction of Dumbledore.

"Long time no see, Dumbledore!"

He had a relieved smile on his face, but also a hint of relief.

Dumbledore greeted him, spread his arms, and smiled, "Thirty years! It's been a long time."

After hugging, he quickly pulled Mead to Luke's side, and then gave Luke a try.

Luke understood, and pinched the mute ball that he had hung around his neck. The silent enchantment unfolds invisibly.

"Professor, would you like to introduce me first?"

Luke had a curious look on his face, and he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the person in front of him, he should be a mermaid. Or rather, a mermaid.

After all, the definition of a mermaid in the wizarding world is not a fish, but a human.

Although some merfolk don't think so.

Dumbledore looked at Mead with a heartfelt look of happiness on his face.

"I'll introduce you, this is Mead Aaron. Merfolk from the Deep Sea Empire, this is the largest mermaid country in the world, and it is also the most civilized mermaid country. But they don't often come out of the eyes of wizards and Muggles."

This is not very often, both in terms of the frequency with which they appear and the frequency with which they interact with each other.

The merfolk of the Deep Sea Empire rarely have anything to do with the wizarding world. And the merfolk who don't live in the sea are very secretive about the deep-sea empire. Therefore, the names of the Deep Sea Empires are rarely known, let alone those who have actually dealt with them.

Luke listened to these terms, which he had never heard before, and felt a little emotional for a while.

Even after coming to this world, he has seen a lot of people and things that he had not seen in the original book, and he has accumulated the knowledge of the entire Gaunt family, but now he still has a lot of things he doesn't understand, and a lot of things he doesn't know or even know.

A little bit of knowledge must not become a leaf that obstructs the purpose.

"This is my student, Luke Gaunt of the Gaunts. You can tell that this kid is a genius."

When Dumbledore said this, the pride on his face did not seem to be fake. Now, as an educator, he should be most proud of cultivating an excellent student.

A student like Luke is enough to be the pride of any educator. Although the relationship between this student's growth and their professors is indeed not very large.

Dumbledore's words were naturally approved by Mead. He could feel that, regardless of the level of mana, the spiritual power of the little boy in front of him was truly beyond ordinary people.

"Hello."

Luke held out his hand without hesitation, a reserved and polite smile on his face.

"Hello."

Mead shook Luke's hand and smiled politely back.

Seriously, Dumbledore was visibly relieved to see that Luke had just smiled politely. After all, seeing this smile, he basically knew that Luke didn't intend to pit Mead.

If Luke is smiling sunny and bright, then ...... He could only mourn for his friend.

"What are you doing here?" Dumbledore, after his joy, naturally threw out his doubts.

Haven't heard of the Deep Sea Empire, and don't know that there is a group of mermaids in the sea? That's really not that you're alone. If you know, you're really good. But just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean that this person can't do it.

From this point of view, it is also understandable why Dumbledore has such doubts.

The mermaid of the Deep Sea Empire, on a human cruise ship, disguised,

Don't even dare to make a big fanfare. This is simply an incredible thing for a slightly more knowledgeable person like Dumbledore.

Mead was also very happy to look at the old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. Thirty years ago, Dumbledore's level of strength was clear to him. Now, thirty years later, Dumbledore has gone from being an old man to an even older man. But Mead could feel it. Dumbledore's strength is still not weaker than it was back then.

It may have been plagued by years in terms of physical and mental exertion. But that didn't mean Dumbledore's power was diminished. The wizard's combat power system cannot be said to be more and more demonic the older you get. But the downward arc is indeed sluggish.

In other words, Dumbledore can easily deal with the two wizards who attacked the princess.

"A girl of mine who was very close to me was captured by two wizards. The two of them are hiding in this ship right now. And we don't want to be in the cause of humanity. So I'm looking into the location of those two wizards and seeing if there's anything I can do to save the girl."

Meade's face was full of helplessness, and he said, "But it doesn't seem like there is a good chance. If we continue like this, we will have to wait for the rescue team of the Deep Sea Empire to arrive."

As he said this, Dumbledore and Luke exchanged glances.

Both of them saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

"Really, but not entirely."

Both people have their own way of observing the truth of each other's words. They could all see that Mead was telling the truth, but only half-truths.

"Your friend doesn't look very honest."

"Did you see those two wizards?"

"I saw one. As long as the other one isn't Grindelwald, we can deal with it."

"That'll do."

"Oh, then we two might be able to help."

Dumbledore said with a light smile. Luke also nodded to the side. The two of them certainly weren't going to sit idly by. The journey is still long, and it is not bad to have such a thing to relieve boredom.

What's more, they can see that behind this incident, maybe it can really bring them a little surprise. After all, the Deep Sea Empire, which in itself is something that no one has much contact with. This really got Luke interested.

The mermaid wants to become a mermaid of a fairly advanced civilization. What a research value!

It seems that today's Luke will also be able to leave a mark in his research notes that his ancestors did not mention.

"Thank you so much!"

Mead saw the two people who agreed to help without hesitation, and his heart was full of emotion for a while. I have the feeling of being helped by my friends. There is also that kind of guilt of cheating on friends.

It made him a little messy for a moment. However, the state of the whole person has also changed from being embarrassed at the beginning to becoming quite positive.

"Without further ado. I just saw one of those two wizards. It's a skinny yellow hair, isn't it?"

Luke didn't drag his feet at all, but simply said.

His positive attitude made Mead feel happy and ashamed at the same time.

However, he did not tell Luke and Dumbledore the true identity of the princess. He and Dumbledore had only had a few encounters with each other, friends who had adventures together. Even if he thought he could entrust his life to Dumbledore. But the importance of Her Royal Highness the princess is far beyond what he can compare.

So he wouldn't take any chances, he wouldn't gamble on the greed of Dumbledore and the kid named Luke Gaunt in front of him.

That's not the work of a wise man.

Looking at Mead with an emotion, Dumbledore suddenly thought of something strange.

"Mead, why don't you just call me? Two wizards, if Luke can deal with it, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to deal with."

He certainly didn't think that this kind of thing would be done by Mead alone. Even if you don't consider the truth behind Meadna's lie. Even if you take the lie seriously, that kid

Surely the child's parents are also there, right?

Now, if they're not on the ship, they're on the lookout for something.

Afraid of wizards? No, those two wizards weren't necessarily Meade's opponents. The wizard's spell falls on the scales of a normal merfolk, and the power will be reduced by a large part. And the merfolk of the Deep Sea Empire, for unknown reasons, have even more defense. Therefore, when a wizard faces the mermaids of the Deep Sea Empire one-on-one, if the magic power is equal, then it is basically difficult to win.

Dumbledore was well aware of this.

So...... Are they the ordinary humans on this ship who make them so jealous?

This information surprised Dumbledore. Merman...... Afraid of humans?

Luke obviously understood what Dumbledore meant, but he wasn't so surprised, he also knew the characteristics of merfolk. Thereupon......

"Can't your scales stop the impact of those physical props?"

As he spoke, he gestured with his hand for a gun.

Mead looked at Luke's expression and nodded a little embarrassedly, "Our scales can protect against magic, but for things like swords, they are indeed relatively weak. And the human thing called "gun" was not so powerful more than a hundred years ago."

More than 100 years...... For merfolk, such a time span is not very long, but for humans, such time is their generation.

There are so many things that can be done in the past 100 years.

Luke replied in the affirmative, and looked at Dumbledore. Dumbledore also gained a long time. There is also some knowledge of Muggle stuff. But in terms of weapons, it is indeed his blind spot......

However, the merfolk's fear of Muggles still made him feel a little.

"So, Muggles are already considered formidable enemies of so many races?"

He asked himself in his heart. But he didn't get any answer.

Mead looked at Dumbledore, who didn't know why, and his face suddenly changed a little, and his expression was a little puzzled.

What's going on?

White Fur also wanted to ask this question.

He still had food in his hand that he had brought back from the restaurant. It's a lot, and it's not just for the contents of the box. It was also for him to eat. He wanted to sit quietly at the table and have a good meal. But the thought of the box lying on the bed made him feel uneasy. Even if he knew very well that he had added all the protective magic he could to that door. There's also some warning magic. And he also made a special effort to increase the sensitivity of the warning magic. Whenever someone touches that door, he will find it and stop them in time.

But even so, he still couldn't sit still, so he could only hurry back with some food, thinking about keeping an eye on the dangerous box all the time.

But when he did get closer, he saw what was in front of him. The spells he had set up before had now been broken, and the door had obviously been opened.

The food in his hands fell uncontrollably to the ground. The expression on his face became unusually serious.

The hand had drawn its wand from his waist. You have to ask him if he knows who is in the room. How could he not know? If these spells were violently broken, then he would not have been able to detect them at all.

Then it can only be someone who fully understands him and finally studies the ways to relieve him one by one without alarming him.

In other words, this person must be quite familiar with him, and has been with him for a long time, at least more than once to see his spells.

This means that this person can only be one person.

"Torris! You have betrayed me!"

Bai Mao said viciously at the door.

He was holding a wooden stick, and his face was fierce and hideous.

This caused some of the Muggles around him to subconsciously stay away from him. At the same time, not far away, looking at this man facing a half-open door, as if facing a great enemy, he kept whispering.

And as time went on, more and more people came around.

Naturally, this also attracted Luke's attention.

Or, in other words, in such a boatload of Muggles, the magic of wizards was as conspicuous in the eyes of those who could perceive it as a searchlight in the night.

And the boat seems to have something to see lively. From a distance, they saw the shimmering convergence of magical power.

That was apparently one of the wizards.

"It seems like we've found our goal with ease."

Luke said it in a joking tone, though. But in reality, there was not a smile on his face. The expressions of the two people around him were different, but they were not relaxed.

Quite simply, the white-haired man was like a great enemy, but they didn't see any other sources of magic in their field of vision.

No, you can't say that.

It should be said.

They saw a source of magic that was draining away. And this source of mana has basically been lost.

Such a situation can only say one thing......

"Yellow Fur was killed...... Who killed him?"

Luke asked, confused.
