The black silt at the bottom of the lake is rich in nutrients, which makes the nearby aquatic plants very vigorous, and according to the previous plan, some Kaba and Grindillo will be placed in these large clumps of aquatic plants to test the warrior's courage and mastery of offensive magic.

There are a number of stone dwellings surrounded by algae, and as you advance, there are more and more stone dwellings, some of which have gardens around them.

This is a huge mermaid village, a huge area of about thousands of mermaids live, even late at night, there are a lot of merfolk guarding the village, after seeing Amosta breaking into the village with bubbles, many merfolk raised their spears and slapped the strong and powerful silver tails, quickly approaching.

But when they could see Amosta's face distorted by the bubbles, the merfolk hid their spears and nodded respectfully to him.

"I'll check where the warriors' treasures have been taken."

Amosta smiled and said,

"Just checking it out."

The merfolk whispered, and a guy with a silver tail inlaid with a few golden scales swung his tail and swam in front of Amosta, and said in a respectful tone and a hoarse voice,

"I can take you, Mr. Brian."

"Oh, you don't have to--"

Amosta shook his head,

"Just show me the way, I'm just going to take a look."

When the request was denied, the mermaid's iron-gray scaly face looked a little surprised, its dark yellow eyes flashed, and then, as if it understood something, it bared its mutilated teeth and pointed in one direction,

"We all hope for Hogwarts victory, Mr. Brian."

The merfolk said so, and then retreated into the group.

Amosta smiled and nodded, he knew that the merfolk probably thought he was running over to do something, but he didn't need to take the initiative to explain.

There were many cages in the small square of the village, and many Kaba and Grindellow were imprisoned in the cages, and these water monsters desperately slammed into the cages that bound them after seeing someone passing above, showing a hideous sharp red at him, and waving their claws at him, but when Amosta glanced at them indifferently, these water monsters suddenly restrained their hostility and honestly shrank in the cage and did not move.

In the small cobblestone plaza stands a crude statue: a large mermaid carved out of boulders, behind the mermaid's tail, and four wooden pillars at the bottom of the lake are placed to bind the warriors' 'treasures'.

Amosta landed in front of the wooden pillar, waving his wand neatly, and then, the bubble surrounding him suddenly expanded, and the surrounding lake was repelled by the bubbles, forming a space filled with air.

Da--

Stepping on the bottom of the wet pebbled lake, Amosta looked around sharply. Perhaps out of respect for him, no merfolk hid behind the reef at the bottom of the lake to peep at him.

After confirming this, Amosta looked at the wooden pillar in front of him, there was nothing wrong with the wooden pillar, the problem was under the bottom of the lake.

According to the statutes, after selecting the treasures of the warriors, in the presence of the officials of the Ministry of Magic, he will cast spells on several people to ensure that they are safe and sound at the bottom of the lake, after which the merfolk will take them to this small square, where they will be tied up to wait for the warriors to rescue.

With the stirring of the wand, with a rumbling sound, cracks began to appear at the bottom of the lake, and the damp mud and sand poured out like a spring, and the four wooden pillars also shook, but the farthest one shook the most violently, and was soon overturned by something hidden deeper in the bottom of the lake.

When something buried deep in the bottom of the lake came to light, Amosta stopped and the shaking of the bottom stopped.

Altar.

Amosta's gaze was fixed on the altar, and his expression was unwavering.

Originally from the Druids, it was previously placed in a paradise in the Forbidden Forest by Cleona, and was used by the Druid's ancestors to tell the Golden Viper and its true identity.

Now it seems that it should be used for more than that, and it should have been used by Vitia when she transferred her deployment to the Forbidden Forest. Amazingly, both Amosta and Dumbledore were aware of the dramatic fluctuations in space.

Looking at a fallen wooden pillar, Amosta groaned, probably knowing what she was doing.

He took a few steps back, quietly surveying the altar and its enveloping area, and after a long pause, Amosta flicked his wand again, burying the altar deep underground. The fallen wooden pillar was also erected, but Amosta slightly adjusted the gap between the four wooden pillars.

"So be it—"

Amosta said with a smile.

Remus and Sirius came faster than he expected, and the next day, in the morning light, while Amosta was still asleep, he was awakened from his sleep by the sound of a stabbing scratch outside the office door.

The eyes that opened instantly faded into confusion, and Amosta quickly lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed to look out of the door, and when he recognized who it was, the vigilance in his eyes dissipated, and the whole person became lazy again.

Walking slowly over and opening the door, a big black dog was making funny scratching movements, and after seeing Amosta glaring at him in displeasure, the big black dog lowered his paws and opened his mouth and smiled.

"The Transfiguration Charm is good, Remus--"

Amosta glanced at the empty hallway behind the big black dog, smiled and nodded.

"Thanks--"

The air twisted and blurred, and Remus appeared in front of Amosta with a smile on his face,

"Those elves are so enthusiastic about their work, they love to have meetings after work, how about I can only sneak away from them with the illusion charm, Amosta?"

Glancing at Sirius, who was regaining his human form, Remus took a breath and followed Amosta into the office,

"I received your letter in the middle of the night, and I immediately went to Grimmauld Place to look for Sirius, who had planned to leave for Hogwarts after lunch, and when we heard that you needed help, we decided to leave for you at once."

Both had been regular visitors to the office, and before Amosta could greet them, Sirius and Remus walked over to the couch to find a seat on their own.

Amosta's eyes warmed up, and he walked over to the fireplace, removed the kettle from the mantelpiece, and made tea for the two of them and himself.

The drawer opened with a bang, and a box of snacks sent by fans flew out and landed on the coffee table, and the hot tea cup also flew in front of the two.

"I'm guessing you didn't have time to eat breakfast," Amosta said with a smile, "and let's get some food first." ”

Sirius blinked in confusion, he thought that Amosta was in some tricky trouble, so he didn't dare to delay a little time after receiving the letter, and immediately apparition rushed to Hogwarts, but looking at Amosta's leisurely and comfortable posture, it seemed that there was no urgency?

Sirius was about to ask a question, but Remus thanked him and enjoyed Amosta's treasured snack over hot tea, and Sirius shrugged his shoulders and took the time to fill his empty stomach.

Amosta didn't create any sense of urgency, he remained patient, smiling and waiting, until the two of them gobbled up most of the boxes of snacks, then looked at Remus, and asked in a calm tone,

"You said in your letter that our application to the Magical Congress of America has been answered, Remus?"

"That's true."

Remus cleared his throat and nodded,

"But the Magical Congress of America has made a condition, Amosta, I don't know. I can't be arbitrary, I have to talk to you before I can give a formal response. ”

"On what terms?" Amosta asked curiously.

"They agreed to our application and agreed to me and yours when to apply for entry, just after Easter, but—"

Remus pursed his lips and looked at Amosta with a slightly worried look,

"They require you to surrender your wand when you enter the country, and you are not allowed to hold a wand while you are in the country until you leave the country"
