Chapter 30: Messira's Original Fish Scales?
After taking Fleur and Gabrielle around, Rolf gave them a broomstick and let the sisters "go on a road trip".
With the two of them in mind, there will be no major security problems.
The boy carried a box alone and walked quickly to the lake, where a beautiful golden mermaid was singing.
Rove sat cross-legged under a chestnut tree when Missara, her graceful figure and slender tail glittering in the water.
Not far from the boy, Missara's pause, her upper body poking out of the water, revealing a blue seaweed robe and half of her breasts, and her blonde hair was covered by a delicate silver net encrusted with deep purple gemstones.
Helen took Helen's clothes and jewels, and when Rove seized the woman, he gave them back to her.
"What did you just sing?" Rove asked curiously.
"A song I learned from my mother when I was a child," Messella told the boy, "in praise of the story of a warrior who rescued the mermaid princess from a sea monster and slew it to death...... Does it sound good? ”
"That's good." The boy smiled.
"Rove, you're the warrior in the song." Messella stared at the boy and said seriously, "You rescued me from the circus and did what the song did. ”
"That being said, you still have to be careful in the future." Rove casually folded a dog's tail grass and said softly:
"Life is no better than a ballad, in real life, it is often the monster that wins, kills the warrior, and captures the princess."
The young man took the dog's tail grass, pointed to the stiff Cablosaurus not far away, and said:
"It also tried to save you, but it failed, and was stopped by me, a 'monster', which is most of the reality."
Messira was thoughtful, she always felt that Rolf was calm and did not look like a teenager, and spoke to her in a tone as if he were her father...... But the girl not only hates it, but likes it very much.
"Is it dead?"
"No, it's just that under my magic, just take the potion made from mandrake." Rove was curious:
"How did you meet this guy?"
Cablolon, who lives in Canada, wonders why this guy is in the Atlantic Ocean and tries to protect Missara.
The girl spun in a circle in the water, stirring up ripples in the icy water.
"You know that...... I've been looking for that mysterious island in the North Sea. ”
Rolf bowed his head slightly, Missara's belonged to the two-tailed merfolk, and according to her, their family was cursed with gray scales.
Messella is looking for a mysterious island and tries to lift the curse with the island's fountain of good luck.
"I searched the North Sea for a long time, but I couldn't find an island, so I went all the way through Greenland to Canada, where I came across a group of Cablosaurus." Misangela said softly:
"I saved this guy, and it followed me all the way back to the North Sea, and it could track my scent to find the Mayflower."
It dawned on Rove.
Although Europe and North America are far away from each other on the map, separated by the Atlantic Ocean, they are actually very close, just from Iceland and across Greenland to reach Canada.
In fact, Greenland belongs to Denmark politically, but geographically to North America.
Similarly, Columbus was not the first European to discover the New World.
As early as the first millennium AD, the Vikings sailed west through Iceland and Greenland to a desolate land covered with snow and ice, which they named "The Land of Slates", which was later Canada's Baffin Island.
It's just that this group of Vikings is not very lucky, the login location is not good, and it is not like the younger generations will use virus warfare...... Smallpox.
Therefore, he was driven back by the local natives.
Rove suddenly picked up a box from behind him, and when he opened the lid, he asked:
"Messira, what are you going to do with this guy?"
Misella's eyes flickered, and after she was caught by Helen, she stayed in this box for several days, and she was ready to kill herself when she was in the most desperate.
Unexpectedly, now the situation is reversed, and Helen is locked inside.
"I'd love to know, how did she know I'd be passing by and ambush early?" Missangela asked.
"I gave Helen a truth potion, and she said she bought off some mermaids from the Black Lake Mermaid Tribe." Rove explains:
"The merfolk told her the news and route of your departure so she could catch you."
"That's right." Messira was a little frustrated, she didn't expect to be betrayed by her own kind.
"What are you going to do with her?"
"I want to bring her back to my clan." Messira looked the boy in the eye and said, "My father will punish her." ”
"The British Ministry of Magic does not have a death penalty, and criminals are generally held in Azkaban." Rove was curious:
"Is it the same with you merfolk tribes? Wouldn't it just put her in jail, sentence her to twelve or thirteen years, and then deport her? ”
"No, it won't." Messira closed her eyes, shook her head, and said, "She's going to be fished." ”
"Don't!" Helen suddenly screamed.
She knew about fish punishment...... The victim will be nailed to a stone and then sunk into the sea, causing Grindillo to pull out the victim's internal organs and let the piranha gnaw on the body until death.
Helen sat at the bottom of the box, she looked up at Lot, pleaded:
"Mr. Scamander, I have many, many Galleons...... I hid them all in different vaults, and I deposited those vault keys with others.
They only recognize me...... I'll get it for you, those galleons are yours...... I beg you to spare your life! ”
"Do you think I'm going to believe you?" Rove scoffed.
"I definitely didn't lie to you!" Helen shouted, "This is at stake for my life, how could I lie to you!" ”
"Why does Sniff like shiny things?" The young man smiled contemptuously, "That's nature. For people like you, lying is as natural as breathing. ”
"Of course, even if you weren't lying, I wouldn't risk letting you get the key." Rove said dismissively:
"People can never earn Galleons beyond their cognitive range and ability, and even if they earn it by luck, they will spit it out with their strength...... I don't want to be by you and locked up in a box. ”
Messira looked at Rove with reverence.
Hearing that the young man was unwilling to spare herself, Helen suddenly cursed, and her tone was so vicious that it seemed to ignite the air.
Rove raised his wand, and a spell hit Helen in the cheek, knocking her to the ground with a thud.
An arrow of water flew up from the surface of the lake, only to hear the sound of "tuk", and went straight through Helen and nailed it into the wall of the cage!
Helen let out a terrible snort, cold sweat oozing from her forehead, and as she struggled, the wound tore and blood fell like a waterfall.
"This witch is cunning." Rove said calmly, "I'll give her a potion in a while, enough to keep her unconscious for a while and bring you back to the clan safely." ”
"Aren't you going back with me?" Messirah hurriedly said:
"Rove, you saved me, you go to my hometown...... My father will definitely repay you by giving you whatever you want. ”
"I'll definitely go next time I have the chance." Rove smiled:
"The Mayflower is not going to make a detour to the Mediterranean, we will split up in front, otherwise you will have to cross the Atlantic to get home."
Messira let out a silent sigh of disappointment, and she was silent for a moment, then raised her hand, a golden scale in her palm.
"Rove, this is for you, as a reward for saving me!"
Rove took the golden scales, it was warm, like life, shining with golden light, shining brighter than gold,
Messira's face turned crimson and said, "This is the gold scale that I have stripped off from my body, and it is very precious......"
"I'll treasure it forever." Rove assured.
"Hmm!" The Messira laughed, "It has a special magical power, you can breathe in water if you hold it in your mouth."
This scale has also been soaked in bodily fluids, and it contains the breath of a mermaid, as long as you are in the sea, I can find you......"
Body...... Body fluid?
Rove was stunned.
It can't always be original...... Scales, right?
