Ron's side was in trouble, and the other friends weren't idle.

While helping a lakeside village expel monsters, Neville encounters a group of fishmen.

A group of fish-people like no other.

Generally speaking, mermaids don't wear clothes, only merfolk do.

After all, a mermaid is like a man, and a mermaid is like a fish, who cares if the fish wears clothes or not.

But these fishmen wear clothes, and they dress in a very weird way.

Neville was a little confused when he saw the other party's clothes that looked like they had been bought at the Milan fashion show.

If you want to say that the other party's clothes are weird, they also have a little weird charm.

But the clothes were definitely not normal.

Let's put it this way, when you wear it on Halloween, you go out on the street, and there are people watching you. I feel that my mental state may be a bit of a problem.

And these fish people don't behave normally.

In general, the fish-people are a very wild race.

You call them brutal, they're not as bloodthirsty as orcs or anything like that. But they are also merciless to other intelligent races!

Basically, when you see it, you rush it! Charge~

But generally you can't beat it, and if you can't beat it, you just have to run.

But when these fishmen plagued the village, they didn't kick the door directly, or kill all the people near the water's edge.

They actually steal the things of these ordinary people's homes secretly, and the things they steal are also very strange. Clothes, curtains, paintings, magazines, strange ornaments! There are even cat stealers!

Highlight a freewheeling.

Neville was naturally curious, so he secretly followed the investigation. He even drank underwater breathing medicine, put a bubble spell on himself, and followed him underwater.

As a result, when it went underwater, there was a cave here.

Although the entrance to the cave is underwater, it will be exposed after swimming for a while, and there are intricate tunnels and natural caves inside!

This terrain is not right!

There are no mountains here, how can caves be made in the thick and fertile land? Otherworldly infiltration, definitely otherworldly immersion.

At this time, he also followed to the gathering place of the fish-people, or the village.

There were about seventy or eighty fish-men, some big and some smaller, with cool and dull colors.

As for the appearance, the appearance of the fishman can directly make horror movies.

Neville saw that the fellow who looked like the leader of the fish-men or the village chief was draped in sequinned curtains, with two slippers on his feet, a metal ornament on his head that adorned the walls, all sorts of strange pendants hanging from his body, and a very artistic wooden clothespole in his hand.

And the fish-man village is not ordinary, all kinds of strange depictions on the walls, it is definitely not meaningless, but if you think about it, you can't tell what is painted. It's a bit abstract.

Those stolen murals, magazines, and so on, were all pasted. There was even a wooden cross!

At first glance, this is an art exhibition opened by a madman!

The fishmen gathered and were kneeling in the middle of the village in front of a white plastic model in a clothing store, babbling at the sound of something they were talking about.

Neville was almost amused, are these fish-men from the other world so funny?

Next, to Neville's surprise, the plastic model began to shimmer as it knelt and prayed.

Then the leader of the fishmen made an excited gesture with the clothesstick, and then clicked on the heads of several fishmen one by one.

Those fish-men suddenly cheered up, as if they had been strengthened!

Neville: Huh?! Plastic models are fine?!

The world has changed so much! I can't read it!

What now?

……

At the same time, Hallie and Malfoy were also dealing with one thing.

It was Malfoy who caused it.

Their Malfoy family was more than two hundred years old, and there were still some relatives on the Muggle side. It's even a well-known family in the local area.

Later, after the promulgation of the secrecy law, the magical world and ordinary people gradually separated.

When the Malfoy family saw this, they went into hiding.

But now it's different, and now the secrecy law can't be said to be a virtual existence, so don't worry about it.

In another ten or eight years, wizards and Muggles will inevitably reunite.

In this case, it is necessary to lay a foundation first.

So, he sent his eldest son, as a returnee from overseas, to get in touch with the Muggle family who had ancestral friendships in his hometown.

Those tokens, antiques and genealogies are still very convincing.

And there are not many others in Great Britain, and there are really a lot of families for hundreds of years.

When the local family saw it, the wang clan from two or three hundred years ago had returned, and if it was a wave of entertainment, it would be a long face.

Not to mention that the Malfoy family has also scattered a lot of benefits.

In this way, the Malfoys reappeared in Muggle society. Draco even bought a small cottage in the area, looking like he was going to settle down.

Then Hallie came for a stroll...... Wandered around for a few days.

In just a few days, something happened.

Descendants of the Malfoy branch more than 200 years ago have been found?

Draco: Good guys, we just came back and came to touch porcelain, didn't we?

But people are also tokens, antiques, and genealogies, which are not bad at all.

Even Draco checked with magic, and the other party didn't even lie!

The most outrageous thing is that the person who came also said one thing - said that the Malfoy family is a wizard family!

He even knew about wizards!

It turned out that the reason why there was such a division was because the Malfoy family came out with a squib. Because he was afraid of losing face, he didn't dare to speak out, so he quietly raised a wife.

Later, the wizarding world introduced a secrecy law, and the two families were separated.

But although the ancestors of the split family were Squibs, they also knew about the magical world. So there are still some notes that have been handed down over the years.

Although future generations are regarded as watching.

But now it's different, and now monsters can appear in the suburbs in broad daylight. What else is there about magic, wizards, and so on?

Moreover, this time, people came to ask for help, not for anything else.

A three-year-old daughter was abducted by a strange old witch.

They really had no choice, a dead horse was a live horse doctor, and found the head of the wizard master's family that had disappeared for three hundred years and suddenly appeared.

"The old witch kidnapped the little girl?!" As soon as Harley heard this, she immediately became angry.

Malfoy saw that this was impossible, and agreed in the middle-aged man's thousand thanks.

After asking in detail, Malfoy had some idea.

This man doesn't seem to be telling the truth, at least not all! What is he hiding!

Harley ignored the middle-aged man, wondering what the "old witch" was.

Probably not a wizard!

The little girl was lost on the edge of the forest, and some people said that they saw a rickety old lady and took her away.

It's not like a wizard, it's like some highly intelligent magical creature.

For example, the ghost woman!

There has been a legend of an old witch in Europe since ancient times, and there are witches living in the forest, who like to eat children or something.

Many fairy tales also have the villain character of the old witch.

What a candy house, what Snow White or something. But that's more of a slur against witches.

Over the years, however, some strange, witch-like monsters from fairy tales have appeared. That is, the ghost woman!

They are not normal creatures, but a kind of monster that breeds in magic.

Although they look like people, like old ladies, they are actually very ugly. Evil and disgusting.

And they have very clever magical abilities. It's not necessarily the kind of powerful magic, but they have a unique ability to play with people and curse cruelly.

The wizards couldn't figure out what was going on with the strange potions they had brewed. The kind that has no regularity at all.

They also have a strange twisting power of nature, gradually taking control of the natural environment around their habitat.

If a ghost woman lives in the forest, the forest will be its ally!

They also use dream magic to lure and deceive nearby villagers.

For example, find some strong guys to have fun and so on~

If this is the halfway point of galloping, revealing the true body, that feeling! The impact is a hundred times stronger than that of Qiao Biluo's number one brother!

But generally speaking, the ghost woman is not too harmful, provided that you don't go to her for help.

Because they do not "actively" harm people, but passively harm people! Willing to take the bait!

They like people to ask them for help, make wishes, and then fulfill your wishes in an extremely twisted way, and watching you feel painful and remorseful makes it extremely comfortable and even empowering.

So, if a ghost woman takes this man's child, what is it for?

At this time, Jerry and Sydney also faced a dilemma.

Just a few days ago, Uncle Douglas, a canine-eared tribe in the subhuman village of Dicamund, was injured while hunting.

Because of the severity of his injuries, he was sent to St. Mungo's for treatment.

However, just a day later, Uncle Douglas suddenly returned unharmed.

And he didn't know anything about his injury and being sent to St. Mungo.

At first, the villagers thought he was suffering from the after-effects of drinking some potion, but when Jerry returned, he felt that things were a little strange and contacted St. Mungo.

Two hours later, St. Mungo's side sent an owl with the words "Mr. Douglas's injuries have stabilized, and he will be discharged from the hospital and returned home in three days at most." ”

Jerry: Huh?!

Three days? Is Uncle Douglas still in St. Mungo? So who is Uncle Douglas in the village?

Jerry and Sydney went on a trip to St. Mungo's by fireplace and saw an Uncle Douglas lying in a hospital bed.

When Uncle Douglas heard that there was still one of himself in the village, he was blindsided. Then he didn't care about his injuries and was about to go home on crutches.

Made, I still have a wife at home! Don't let the imposter take advantage of you!

This is really strange, and Jerry doesn't dare to delay, so he and Sydney take Uncle Douglas back to the village.

On the way, the two also quietly discussed: one of the two must be fake!

And then there was a picture of the whole village watching the confrontation between the two Douglas.

……

Speaking of Ted, he had already entered the Kunlun Mountains for two days and two nights at this time.

There were ice fields and snow everywhere, and the group had a hard time trekking.

However, according to the map, they were already on the marked route.

If you follow the route of the previous "expedition", you will definitely find the place where they had an accident.

The treasure is there!

However, Ted was also keenly aware that there were two other teams, which were also more than ten miles away.

It could be tracking your own team, or it could be a map. In short, they are all running for treasure.

After two days in the snowfield, strange things began to appear in the mountains.

Sometimes there is a strange noise or fire in the distance in the middle of the night, and sometimes a dark shadow flashes over the hill not far away.

During the vigil, a guy went to pee and was attracted by a mysterious voice, and if Ted hadn't stopped him, he would probably have been lost.

These people can't be regarded as ordinary people, they have been exploring and archaeology all year round, and they have more contact with strange things. But now they all sleep with guns in their arms, and they can't be afraid.

The team soon encounters magical beasts, which are several snowmen.

These guys are more than three meters tall and look like standing white-haired gorillas. The strength is great, and the big-footed board is disproportionately enlarged. It looks clumsy, but it's like a fly on the snow!

The security guards in the team were a little agitated and fired straight away, but the firearms did not work well on magical creatures, and although they saw blood, they angered the snowman instead.

A group of more than ten people, who were chased in a panic, actually ran to the side of an ice crack. Seeing that there is no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Ted had no choice but to take action, quietly opening the backpacks of the girls in the team, and some small pastries fell to the ground.

The snowmen flapped their noses and turned around to pick up the little cakes to eat.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone slid into a huge ice crevasse more than ten meters deep with a rope, and only then did they escape the pursuit of the snowman.

Chased by these monsters who are not afraid of guns, everyone is exhausted. Sit on the ground and gasp.

One of the fat men in the security guard also complained: "Old Hu, I said that I should get something powerful!" Give you the whole AK, I'll give it the whole blessing, what monster doesn't give it a bulge? ”

"Okay, Commander Wang, don't complain. If you really get some power, I'm afraid the avalanche will bury us! ”

Worried that the snow monster was still squatting nearby, everyone decided to follow the direction of the ice crevasse for a while before climbing up.

As a result, it was only twenty minutes after walking out, and the security officer named Lao Hu keenly found a metal button frozen in ice on the ground!

Brass buttons, embossed.

This thing is definitely not recent!

"It is a style that was popular more than 300 years ago, and it is generally affordable for people with wealthy families and some status." A European archaeologist on the team said.

The Indian woman who organized the team took it and looked at it, "This is the emblem of the Bilit family, this is the family of the expedition leader we are looking for!" ”

"Could it be that they were walking through this ice crevasse in the first place?!" The Celestial Empire expert surnamed Fang said.

Finding the clue, the team was very excited and sped up.

Under Ted's covert support and guidance, the team experienced the ghost fire beetle and the demon wolf pack.

In the end, after defeating several parasitic corpses of Snow Millet, he unexpectedly discovered that these corpses were members of the expedition three hundred years ago!

It turns out that the treasure is already close at hand!

The rest of the story is a bit more cliché.

After walking on the snowfield for almost a week, the team went through many hardships and dangers, defeated several magical monsters, and finally found this treasure in the depths of the ice cave.

The expedition had finally deviated from its original route, and according to the diary of the last man who was seriously wounded and waiting to die, they forced their local guides with guns to take a shortcut, entering the "inaccessible dead land", where they encountered several monsters one after another.

In the end, they all died tragically here, and they were buried with this large number of treasures looted from India.

However, just as everyone was happily discovering the treasure, the two teams that had been following behind finally caught up.

They didn't go very well, they all lost a lot of manpower, but they were not as good as the team with Ted's protection, they suffered a little, but no one died, not even injured.

Finally, the three groups met in this ice cave, and the two behind came prepared, crackling and shooting, and bullets flew everywhere.

In a series of hilarious coincidences, Ted and his team ran away with only a few things.

The two teams didn't get a good job, the ice cave was blown up, and they only ran out with a few high-quality products. Among them is the "Eye of Shiva" specially instructed by the employer!

Ted made his way back to a nearby town safely before disappearing without a sound.

It took half an hour for a teammate to react: "Eh, who is that?!" ”

"Who?"

"Who's that?"

"Who?! Don't scare me, Lao Hu! ”

"That's it, little ...... What's the matter? Who's old and who's young? It's the young man who always loves to laugh! Fatty, he saved you! ”

"Shhh...... It seems that there is such a person? What's his name? What does he look like?! ”

In the end, more than a dozen people in the team were stunned, how did it seem that there was one less person, but they didn't know who was missing.

Look at the group photo, check the number of people, and sure enough, there is one less!

This adventure, for them, I'm afraid it will become an unsolved mystery.
