Chapter 655 Mermaid’s Song and Gill Grass

A week later, in the evening, Ivan turned into a mermaid he had seen before, and chatted quietly with the leader of the mermaids.

"You must have mistaken the wizard principal's order. Dumbledore asked us to host the second game...

It's the host! Understand?

Taste it carefully!

If we didn't do anything during the game, he would be very angry.

So we must do something, not just protect the hostages, but also arrange the venue? Or maybe scare the contestants..."

Ivan kept talking and spent more than an hour successfully distorting the mermaids' understanding of Dumbledore's orders.

Of course, he doesn't intend to do anything bad. The main thing is to increase the difficulty of the second game and make it more exciting and exciting, so that the warriors can have an epic clearance experience.

After doing all this, Ivan left Black Lake very satisfied and was ready to return to the dormitory to have a good rest.

However, when passing by the Gryffindor lounge, Ivan unexpectedly saw Harry, Ron and Hermione running over in a hurry.

"What's wrong with you?" Ivan asked in surprise.

"We found the clue, it's a mermaid!" Harry gasped, his expression very excited, and he said very quickly. "Remember that sound we heard that day? It was the mermaid singing!"

"How do you know it's a mermaid? Has anyone provided you with any clues?" Ivan's expression immediately became serious and he hurriedly asked.

Harry and Ron hesitated to speak, while Hermione pursed her lips and looked a little angry.

Ivan looked at the expressions of the three people and was confused. Fortunately, Harry explained in time. "Hermione found it. She had read at least hundreds of books related to sounds in the past few days, and finally saw a similar record in a book called "Magical Creatures Underwater."

"Yes, she even suspected that it was some kind of special code at first, such as some special information hidden in the sound frequency. She listened to it a dozen times with Harry's golden egg..." Ron did the same. added.

Ivan looked at Hermione, knowing that he had made a mistake, and quickly made up for it. "Sorry, Hermione, I shouldn't have said that..."

"Are you the one who suspected that the person who put Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire would secretly tell Harry the clues to the second level?" Hermione interrupted Ivan before he could finish his words, thoughtfully. said.

"This is impossible! It's not like the mysterious man's subordinates suddenly have good intentions and want to help Harry win the championship, right?" When Ron said this, he couldn't help but laugh.

Harry also looked at Ivan in confusion.

Ivan shrugged, feeling very helpless. He couldn't tell what happened, so he could only talk nonsense. "The events of the Triwizard Tournament are all dangerous. If someone really wants to harm you, just telling you some wrong information on purpose can be fatal!"

Harry, Ron and Hermione felt that Ivan's casual remarks made sense.

Just imagine if someone told the participating warriors that what they had to face in the first level was not a fire dragon but a few red hats. Then everyone would be very relaxed and would not deliberately formulate targeted strategies. Then when the actual competition comes, their fate will be It's not impossible to go to Sanglongkou.

"Now that you already know that it is the mermaid's song, have you figured out the specific content of the second game?" Ivan asked.

Harry nodded hesitantly, then shook his head, indicating that he only had some guesses that were not true or false, and then repeated the song he heard.

"We cannot sing on the ground. As you search, consider this:

We have robbed you of your most precious treasure. You have only an hour to find and regain the object we have taken. After an hour, all hope is lost. It has completely disappeared and will never be seen again. "

After Harry finished speaking, Hermione continued to explain. "I think the second game should ask you to sneak into the bottom of the Black Lake to find something stolen by the mermaids, and you only have one hour. Once it exceeds, the mermaids will take that thing away forever, and the game will be over. Failed!"

Ivan nodded. Hermione basically hit the point, but she didn't guess that the hostages hidden at the bottom of the lake would be...

"But how can we stay underwater for a long time?" Harry quickly realized this serious problem after experiencing the joy of solving the puzzle.

In the past, when they were at home, the Dursleys probably expected him to fall into the water and drown one day, so they never let him learn to swim.

In comparison, Dudley was a good swimmer. He often boasted about this, but Harry always thought it was nothing special, because Dudley was as fat as a large lifebuoy and could fall into the water very quickly. of floating.

"Or you can try the transformation spell and turn yourself into a swimming fish or something." Hermione suggested, and then seemed to remember something, looking at Harry and continuing apologetically.

"Oh, I almost forgot, this kind of transformation magic is only taught in the sixth grade, and it's very difficult and few people can master it. Ivan may be able to do it, but you definitely can't..."

"Yes." Harry said weakly, thinking of ideas in his mind, but unfortunately none of them worked.

"You can use gillweed, Harry!" Ivan said suddenly.

"What? Gillweed? What is that?" Harry turned his head quickly and looked at Ivan excitedly.

"A magic potion material. After eating it, you can temporarily grow gills and webs, and you can breathe and move freely under the water." Ivan explained.

"Like those mermaids?" Hermione thought of the description of mermaids in the book "Magical Creatures Underwater".

"Absolutely. It's just a partial deformation. It's definitely not as flexible as a mermaid underwater..." Ivan said. There was another shortcoming that he didn't mention, that is, it would look ugly after deformation.

But Harry obviously didn't care about this. He was overjoyed that he could breathe freely underwater by eating a medicinal herb - that meant he didn't have to be the first warrior ever to be drowned in a lake.

"There are still a few days before the start of the second game. You can take the time to go to Hogsmeade Village to buy some gill grass. When you have nothing to do, go to the Black Lake to practice..."

Ivan reminded him, and then asked Harry to try to pretend that he hadn't found any clues yet, and try to pay attention to everyone who tried to reveal information to him.
