Chapter 260: The Mermaid

Rov was carefully examined by Madam Pomfrey, inside and out, and was allowed to leave only after making sure that he was not injured.

However, Rove seriously suspected that she was actually trying to find out if Voldemort was taking Polyjuice Potion as a pretend...... will be so detailed.

After the inspection, Rove first returned to Hogwarts Castle to retrieve his black chest, and then returned to the Black Lagoon.

At this time, Shirley also arrived on the shore with Padma Pettil, becoming the second warrior to complete the race.

Shirley emerged from the lake and climbed to the shore, her whole body moistened by the water, her sideburns sticking to her cheeks, and a series of droplets of water slid down her blown-white skin.

Rove draped a thick cloak over the ponytailed girl, and she reached out to wipe the shallow water from her chin and asked in a low voice:

"How long will it take me?"

"Fifty-six minutes." Rolf wrapped Shirley around her cloak, stretched out his right index finger again, and tapped it lightly on the center of her eyebrows.

In an instant, wisps of mist appeared around the girl, and the water droplets on her body quickly steamed up and turned into wisps of steam.

Shirley stroked her messy sideburns and said with some dissatisfaction:

"I was too long at the Runi Snake level, and I made the mistake of not attacking its left head first......"

Rove smiled at the girl and said, "It's okay, even if it's delayed, it's still second." ”

"How are Hermione and Fleur?"

"The two of them have rescued the hostages and are returning." Rove said.

Shirley looked up at the magic curtain, and after determining the location of the two, she withdrew her gaze, leaned into the young man's ear, and whispered:

"Rove, I heard the mermaid's song halfway through, it was very familiar, it resembled the ...... of Messila."

"It's the Messiah." Rove laughed, "I've already met her. ”

The young man quickly talked about what happened before, and when he heard that he was attacked by Carlo and others, Shirley, who had always been gentle like water, said with an angry face as if she had been touched against the scales:

"Shall we just let them go?"

"Of course not." Rove touched the girl's ponytail and said with a smile:

"The Caro siblings will all die in the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, and I will have Mercurus Chieftain entertain them."

On the referee's bench, Ludo said in a loud voice:

"Granger and Delacour are swimming towards the shore with their rescued treasures, and they are so close that they can't close the gap yet.

Krum was chasing after the two, and he was fast, but unfortunately Granger and Delacour were so close to the shore that he would have a hard time catching up. ”

"Other than that, the other warriors haven't rescued the hostages yet, they are all trapped in the building, and the magical creatures in those levels seem to be a bit difficult for them......"

Not only was it a bit of a struggle, Harry now felt like he couldn't get out alive!

In the first room, he was hit by the venom of the Loba worm, and although he did not die, his whole body was weak, and his stomach was still hot and painful;

In the second room, Harry was stabbed in the thigh by Grindy Lowe's slender fingers, and if he hadn't dodged in time, he might have become a one-man man.

In the third room, Harry relied on the methods taught by Grapeland to deal with the horse-shaped water monster with ease, but when he reached the fourth room, the runi snake was difficult to parry.

Just when Harry didn't know what to do, several warriors came in one after another.

And when the number of runi snakes increases to three, it does not increase.

For a while, all the warriors, regardless of school, united to deal with the Runi snake, and they finally passed through the room and rescued the hostages.

But before they left the building, the warriors who had just been united immediately scattered and swam frantically towards the shore.

Everyone is on the same starting line at the moment, and whoever reaches the shore first will get a better result, of course, and of course they have to work hard.

Harry thought the same way, even if he was poisoned, he would have to swim to shore with his roommate Seamus Finigan.

As Harry was about to leave, he suddenly spotted Ron, who was hiding behind a mermaid statue in the middle of the square, fighting Durmstran's warriors.

Around the two of them, there was also a large group of merfolk floating, watching the two of them shoot each other passionately and burst into laughter.

Harry had no choice but to let go of Seamus and swim towards the two, and he quietly swam behind Poliaco, hiding among the merfolk, shouting:

"Faint!"

A dazzling red light, accompanied by a column of water, struck Poliako, and he fell straight forward.

Ron looked surprised, "Harry! ”

Harry swam towards Ron, curious, "How did you get into a fight with Durmstran's warriors?" ”

"I robbed this guy of the mermaid statue as a gift." Ron explained, "This guy came to the square to guard me...... Are you new to this place? ”

Harry was in a trance for a moment, he seemed to have asked Rove a similar question not long ago.

So, after a moment of silence, Harry imitated Rove and said in an extremely bland tone:

"No, I've completed the second item, and now I'm going back to shore."

“……”

Looking at Ron's shocked expression, Harry instantly felt comfortable, is this what it feels like to be pretending?

It's so cool!

Harry also wanted to teach Ron some "experience in breaking through the level" as a passer-by, but suddenly he had trouble breathing.

It's like being in an environment where the air is thin and you can't breathe oxygen.

Harry thought it was a symptom of being infected with the venom of Loba worm, but Ron was also breathing heavily, his face flushed.

Harry immediately realized to his horror that it wasn't the venom of Loba worm, but that the effects of the scuba potion were about to wear off.

Ludo also noticed this strange scene, and he wondered:

"What happened to Potter and Weasley? Both of them looked like they couldn't breathe. ”

Snape, who sat in the Slytherin seat, smiled smugly.

Harry held his breath and turned to look at Seamus, then back to the lake.

He was poisoned by the Loba worm, and his whole body was already weak, and with Seamus, he wanted to swim from the bottom of the lake to the surface of the lake in one breath, which was simply a fantasy.

Harry's face was full of desperation, so he had to swim Ron to Mercous, the merfolk leader, desperately pointing to his nose and calling her for help.

"We can't help." Murkus said in a hoarse, low voice, "Unless you two give up the game immediately." ”

Of course, Harry couldn't agree, he had already rescued Seamus, how could he give up at a critical moment.

Ron was even more reluctant, and he borrowed five Galleons to press himself first...... Isn't it going to be a waste of money?

The situation froze for a while, and Merkus suddenly smiled: "Actually, there is another way." ”

She pointed to a group of extremely ugly-looking mermaids in the distance, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Again, as I originally proposed, they can help you breathe underwater, and even help you outrun the other warriors and get to the shore quickly.

But after the game, you have to come back and mate with one of them to give birth to the offspring of wizards and merfolk."

“……”

Harry looked at the mermaids, who were so ugly:

The skin is iron-gray, the dark green hair is long, unkempt, and the eyes are yellow...... Not to mention mating, a few more glances will explode.

Harry would rather sleep in the same bed with Snape than with the merfolk.

But Harry soon felt the lack of oxygen in his body, and the carbon dioxide deposited in his blood, arousing the instinct to inhale.

He knew that he was about to reach the limit of holding his breath, and if he continued like this, he could only drown.

Harry and Ron glanced at each other, and both understood each other's thoughts:

I lied to the mermaids first, saying that they would never get close to the Black Lake in the future, could they still go to the shore to catch people?!

Harry and Ron made up their minds and immediately nodded in agreement.

The students in the audience were in an uproar.

If the mermaid in the Black Lake grows into a golden two-tailed mermaid, I'm afraid everyone will agree, but when they grow into such an ugly bastard, Harry and Ron are really not picky eaters.

Ludo said meaningfully as a person who came over:

"It's not too hard to choose, is it...... It's the same with the lights off anyway. ”

Seeing that the two agreed, Merkus immediately clapped his palms and said:

"Alright, girls, whoever wants to mate with the two of them, come out quickly."

The merfolk covered their mouths with their hands and whispered for a moment, and finally two merfolk swam out.

Harry wondered how the merfolk helped them breathe underwater - magic, herbs, or potions.

Just as Harry looked puzzled, a mermaid swam towards him, grinning open to reveal a mouthful of twisted, filed yellow teeth, and said with a shy face:

"Let's kiss, you come and suck the oxygen in my mouth."
