Chapter 412: The Siren's Song
Dragons are amazing creatures in this world.
Exists in legends.
Powerful, mysterious, beautiful.
Geralt had the privilege of working with dragons, and in many places, dragon legends also exist.
And in the sea area from Novigre to Skellig, there is another rumor related to dragons - many people testify that they saw two dragons flying over the sea at such a fast speed, it is definitely a dragon!
Even in Novigre, the two unknown warlocks who appeared on the docks that day were privately rumored to be dragons.
The Eternal Flame has quietly taken down the vaguely drawn wanted notices.
In this world, dragons are not like Harry's world, where they can be artificially raised.
Harry and Hermione were still flying.
Crossing the sea is not a fun thing to do, and it can be challenging for wizards.
Sirius once made it a challenge to cross the Pacific Ocean.
Harry had always felt that it would be difficult for him to have such a life experience.
Fate turned out to be wonderful.
He had to go through it with Hermione.
Without any references, even Harry could easily get lost, and that's where Hermione's guiding charm came in handy.
After more than a day of flying at full speed, they finally arrived at their destination.
Skellig's landform is completely different from that of Willen and Novigre.
Maybe it's because of the island, maybe it's because of the latitude and longitude, the air here is noticeably colder.
It made Hermione feel like she was back in Europe.
They landed by the sea.
Harry conjured a small boat, sat on it, and took out the glass bottle, which contained a ball of light that swayed towards the west.
It's not time to put it out yet.
Yang Fan, set sail.
The boat drifted into the distance.
The sea breeze was cool, and there was some infiltrating meaning, Hermione cast a warmth charm on herself, and also released one for Harry, holding her head, looking at the deep sea: "This seems to be the first time I have seen the sea like this." ”
Great Britain is an island nation.
Every child has no shortage of opportunities to see the sea in their childhood, especially Hermione's middle-class family, who went to the beach once a year to enjoy the sea when she was a child. But at that time, the seaside was full of people, and it would not be as quiet and secluded as it is now.
In childhood, the sea belonged to her.
And now, she and Harry belong to the sea.
Harry was about to say something.
A sharp cry.
The winged, shirtless, and long, snake-tailed monster pounced.
This is the female Siren, and of course, they have a wonderful nickname - mermaids.
Compared to humans who live on land and occasionally go to sea, they are the masters of the sea.
In the witcher's manual.
They are monsters.
But strictly speaking, they belong to the subhuman branch, just like Meiwa.
In Skellig's legend, there may be murderous krakens, but most of them were once friendly to humans, maybe because of the changes brought about by the intersection of the celestial spheres, or maybe for other more complicated reasons, the current krakens are extremely hostile to humans, and they will show their minions when they meet, and they will not release any kindness, no exceptions.
The beautiful atmosphere was disturbed, and Hermione, slightly annoyed, raised her head and looked over.
A subhuman creature.
The movement of just taking out the wand from his robe paused.
Unlike water ghosts and evil ghosts, which are absolutely not human and almost have almost no high intelligence, the Kraken looks much more intelligent.
And
Engraved in her bones and educated for many years, she had a little hesitation about this kind of baby-like creature.
Do you want to do it?
"These are monsters." Harry spoke.
Hermione didn't hesitate any longer and uttered the incantation: "All petrified!" ”
The kraken's body that was rushing towards them stiffened, and even the laws of physics were violated, and there was no inertia, and it fell straight into the ocean.
"But don't kill it." Harry said slowly.
Hermione glared.
Can you not sell it!
Fortunately, if it were Professor Snape, even Sirius, I am afraid that with a crushing spell or a cutting spell, this subhuman creature would be absolutely dead.
She waved her wand.
While the Kraken had just fallen into the water and had not yet sunk, the Levitation Charm was used, and she was taken out and placed on the boat.
"Is she really a monster?" Hermione looked at her.
It's hard to imagine that a creature so much like a human could be a monster.
"They're a threat to humanity." Harry whispered.
Hermione was stunned and nodded heavily.
Monsters, not monsters, never demarcate boundaries with appearance and intelligence.
Danger is not a danger to human beings.
No matter how intelligent and cultured they are, they threaten humanity, then their existence is a monster.
"Why did you leave her on board?" Hermione paused, then asked.
Harry looked into the distance: "There are too many sea monsters, and you can't always disturb the atmosphere when you are enjoying the scenery. ”
Hermione didn't speak, put her hands on her knees, held her head, looked at Harry, and laughed secretly.
Harry lifted the spell from the Siren, resting his wand on her head and spoke, in a language Hermione hadn't heard, "I know you can understand me, now you have"
They are almost the same as Mei Wa, not only because they are the same sub-human and have the same beautiful faces of different ordinary people.
It's also because the Kraken is also an intelligent race.
They have their own language, a branch of the Old Language.
Of course, the witchers have to learn this.
The moment the kraken was unrestrained, the kraken's beautiful face distorted, turning into a sharp fish mouth and opening its bloody mouth.
When threatened, the creature roars, a form of magic that can scare the hearts of enemies and serve as a reminder. Remind your sister that there is an enemy.
But.
This method is not uncommon, but this time it did not have any effect.
Harry's wand a little.
Her mouth was empty, and she couldn't make any sound.
"Don't waste your efforts." Harry continued, "Now let's make a deal. ”
"My lover wants to enjoy the sea view."
"Blood, fighting, these things are very ruining the atmosphere, and you can also see, I am a witcher, or a warlock, no matter how many of your sisters come, they are only killed by me."
"You sing and remind your sisters not to come."
"When you get to your destination, I'll let you go and won't kill you, how about this deal? If you say yes, you will nod. ”
The Kraken thought for a moment, nodded a little fearfully, and agreed.
Harry smiled, "Good. ”
With a wave of the wand, a rope trapped around the Kraken's neck and tied to the bow of the ship.
Reluctant, reluctant, the Kraken turned back into human form, and sat down on the side of the boat, far away from the two beautiful but very powerful humans, and cleared his throat and sang in the wind.
Hermione also conjured a harp for her.
