Chapter 258: Mysterious Avalon
Two years ago, Rove was traveling to the United States aboard the Mayflower, encountering a ghost ship on the way.
Also found on that ship was a chart depicting Avalon's exact location.
Rove magically reproduced a chart and gave it to Messira, hoping to help her find the fabled island.
So, when he heard that Messira had really found Avalon, Rove was overjoyed and a little puzzled.
Since she found the island, why hasn't the gray scale disease on her body been cured?
"I've found Avalon...... though"
Myrsella turned and stared at Rove with those golden eyes, and said in a soft, mournful voice, "But I didn't make it to that island." ”
"You didn't make it up?" Rov frowned.
"Yes, I just glanced at it from afar, and I missed it." Messira said in a low voice.
Rove didn't speak, and listened quietly to Messira's account of what had happened to her.
"After that year of separation, I spent a year in the tribe recuperating, and waited until last summer, when I was ready, before I left for Beihai.
I followed the charts and went to the sea where Avalon was, but I couldn't see the island. ”
"I searched the North Sea for months, and I stayed up until winter to find nothing, and I was about to give up......"
Messira paused for a moment and said softly, "Suddenly I came across a ghost ship, it has been completely corroded and rusty, and there is a wooden coffin in the stern......"
Rove spoke, "It was the ghost ship I met on the Mayflower. ”
"Yes." Messila nodded, "I thought that the chart came from that ship, so I sent the gods to get on the ship and see where it was heading......"
Messira stared at the lake for a long time without blinking, and then said slowly:
"The ghost ship drifted through the fog all night, and finally through the fog, I saw an island."
"I was about to dive in and swim towards the island, but suddenly I heard a singing, faint and distant, but certainly - it was the song of a mermaid."
Messira crossed her arms and said:
"The voice rose and fell, like a sad and lonely ballad, which made my hairs stand on end, and I always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at me in the shadows."
"By the time I came to my senses, the ghost ship had moved away from Avalon and into the fog again.
The ghost ship cut through the mist, and Avalon vanished. ”
"I sat on the ghost ship and watched it sail out of the North Sea, until I left the ship and came to Hogwarts to find you." ”
After listening to Messira's words, Rove silently digested the message.
It seems that the sea near Avalon has magical protection, so that Muggles and wizards cannot see it, and can only be accessed through ghost ships.
"Do you have any plans for the next step?" Rove asked.
"I'm going to stay here for a while and then go to Beihai in the summer." Messira looked at Rove and said.
"I'll keep waiting there, one day, until the ghost ship comes back to me."
"Then let's stay." Rove pondered for a moment and said, "Don't live in the mermaid village of the Black Lake, it's not safe there, you should live in my box." ”
That summer, Myrcella was leaked by the mermaids of the Black Lake, and then captured by wizards and sold to a mysterious circus.
If Rove hadn't saved Messira in time, he wouldn't know how he would have been tortured.
"That's what I thought, too." Messira smiled.
Rove looked into the distance and said, "It's almost time to reach the shore, you go look for the horsehead fishtail krakin first, and I'll look for you when the game is over." ”
"Well, I'll wait for you." After speaking, Messira swam into the distance.
Rove motioned for the giant octopus to float towards the surface of the lake.
When they came out of the water, Neville, who had been unconscious, finally woke up, he spat out a large mouthful of lake water, shivered, and hurriedly asked:
"How's the game going?"
"We're almost at the finish line, and we're still number one."
Rov gathered the scales, then snapped his fingers, and Neville's wet robes were instantly evaporated and dried by magic.
"Great." Neville smiled happily, "In the morning, I was called into the office by Professor McGonagall, who said he was going to hypnotize us and become hostages for the second project.
I wanted to take the opportunity to go to the toilet and tell you secretly, but Professor McGonagall saw through it. ”
Rove laughed too.
The giant octopus suddenly let out a strange cry that startled Neville, and he looked down and said nervously, "What is this?" ”
"I got a vehicle in the Black Lake." "Don't be nervous, this giant octopus is docile and won't attack you." ”
Neville breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he suddenly saw the giant octopus spit something out of its mouth, picked it up, and frowned, "This is ......"
Rove glanced at it and said calmly, "Spine." ”
"What animal's vertebrae?"
"Wizard."
“……”
Rove and Neville rode the giant octopus and soon reached the shore, and when the people saw them appear, the cheers immediately rang out and quickly spread to the entire audience.
Everyone cheered and applauded Rove, and the little wizards chanted his name.
On the referee's bench, Ludo said loudly: "Scamander is the first warrior to arrive, it took a total of fifty-three minutes, and if he hadn't been attacked by the dark wizard, he would have arrived earlier." ”
Ludo's voice was amplified many times by magic, but it stood out in the deafening cheers.
Rov smiled and bowed gracefully to the audience.
This made the whole student even more crazy about him, and even a few witches jumped from the audience and ran towards Rove like crazy.
The Ministry of Magic staff, who were maintaining security all around, immediately stopped them.
But one of the schoolgirls broke through the blockade and ran to Rove's side out of breath.
She pulled out a lipstick and pulled open the collar to reveal her snow-white scented shoulders, allowing Rove to sign there with lipstick.
When the staff arrived, the girl hugged Rove and refused to let go, tearing the boy's robe.
"It's crazy." Ludo, who saw this scene, remembered and said:
"When I was younger, I played a dominant Quidditch match against Turkey and helped England to the Quidditch World Cup, which was pretty much the same thing."
But Madam Pomfrey didn't look pleased, and as she pulled Rove and Neville to the tent, she said loudly:
"There are already seven female students who have passed out because of excitement...... Heptad! ”
Next, Madam Pomfrey began to complain that Triwizard Tournament was too dangerous and that Dumbledore was too incompetent.
As he was about to reach the tent, Rove suddenly stopped, looked at the witch who was blocking the way in the distance, and the corners of his mouth curled, and he smiled:
"Alecto Caro, you're here for your brother...... Collect the corpse? ”
