Chapter 384: Planting an Informant to Save only One Person

In the Black Lake, as Aaron continued to dive, the light gradually became dim.

He was in a gray and hazy lake. Even with his eyesight, he could only see the scenery within ten meters. There was almost no sound around him. The silence was frightening.

"Fluorescent flash."

A white light was released from the tip of the wand, but the next moment Aaron immediately lifted the spell and quickly left the place.

Because he heard countless fine water sounds, many underwater creatures at the bottom of the dim lake could see this light. There was no more obvious signal than this.

Sure enough, a group of light green water monsters with horns surrounded the place where Aaron left.

They stretched and retracted their slender claws, and their green teeth kept trembling. After a simple communication, they scattered in all directions.

"Grindylo water monster." Aaron muttered to himself, and then looked at the dense and unbelievable water plants around him. The corners of his mouth twitched and his face turned blue.

At this time, I have to thank Lupin, because he taught about Grindylows during his substitute teaching.

They usually like to hide in the water plants and feed on small fish, but they will not let go of Muggles and wizards.

The water plants here are endless, which is clearly the place where Grindylows live.

"Hit it, or go around it?"

Aaron thought for a moment and sighed helplessly, then pulled out his wand and controlled the transparent barrier to accelerate forward.

If it were normal, he would definitely choose to go around it, but now he has to find two hostages, and it would be a waste of time to go around it.

The transparent barrier advanced less than one-third, and a Grindylow poked out from the water plants, opened its mouth, and bit Aaron with its green fangs.

Bang!

The Grindylow hit the barrier, and a small part of its green teeth broke. It was in unbearable pain and kept roaring in pain.

"What a pity, this barrier still has a certain defensive effect." Aaron said jokingly, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore, because at least dozens of Grindylows came out of the water grass.

Aaron smiled far-fetchedly and immediately sped up to rush out of the water grass.

Dozens of water monsters were chasing behind him, and Aaron kept casting spells to stop them, but even so his barrier was hit from time to time.

After seven or eight minutes, Aaron staggered out of the water grass.

Grindylows didn't dare to leave their territory to continue chasing, but just kept roaring at Aaron to vent their dissatisfaction.

"So arrogant!" Aaron raised his middle finger disdainfully, "If you have the guts, come out and see if I dare to kill you."

Some Grindylows couldn't stand it anymore. After all, they were called water monsters, and they couldn't let others look down on them even if their opponents were wizards.

This time, Aaron decisively swung his magic wand, and several streams of water hit the Grindylows at the same time, knocking them back into the water plants.

"Goodbye, no, never again."

Aaron waved his hand triumphantly, turned around and accelerated his dive towards the center of the lake.

He deliberately avoided the water plants on his way down, and when his feet stepped firmly on the black mud at the bottom of the lake, twenty minutes of the game had passed.

"It's almost time." Aaron said in his heart, and was about to take out Captain Jack's compass, but at this time the voice of the thought body came to his mind.

"Don't worry, the eldest sister has transmitted the performance of the five warriors in the Black Lake to the sky above the lake with an image. Now everyone can see what you are doing?"

"Watfake! She really doesn't give me any chance!" Aaron cursed inwardly, "But now I can only use this magic prop."

"I didn't say you can't use it, just reminding you that someone is watching."

"I know what to do." Aaron responded, "You have to be careful too, don't expose yourself."

"Understood."

The two disconnected, Aaron pretended to be tangled and painful, his hands even trembled unconsciously, and then he raised the wand to his left hand.

A small white magic circle flashed, and a black compass appeared in his hand.

"It can be used for the last two times, but I didn't expect to use it to find someone." Aaron said bitterly, and his voice was transmitted to the ears of every audience through the light curtain.

Many people began to whisper and discuss what kind of magic prop the compass in Aaron's hand was.

Bagman was confused on the referee's bench. He had never seen or heard of this compass before, and he didn't know how to explain it.

But some people had already guessed the function of the compass. Adrian had a mysterious smile on his face, Dumbledore's eyes shone a little, and Mad-Eye Moody's magic eye was spinning wildly...

"Miss Crane, is this considered cheating?" Karkaroff said with a bad look.

"Of course not." Adrian said confidently, "In the first level, Harry Potter summoned the Firebolt with his wand, and what Gaius did now is essentially the same as him."

"But... this kind of magic prop is really..."

"Professor Karkaroff, if you want to say it's unfair, Gaius probably has more say than anyone else!

Don't forget, the others only need to save one hostage, but he needs to save two. "

Karkaroff was speechless, and he didn't have the confidence to find fault with him.

"Ahem! Miss Klein." Percy said awkwardly but politely, "This magic item of Gaius is really amazing. If possible..."

"What? Hand it over to the Ministry of Magic?" Adrian said playfully.

"Of course not." Percy waved his hand hurriedly, "I mean to register it at the Ministry of Magic."

"Go talk to him!" Adrian said indifferently, "Although I am his sister, I have never forced him to do anything he doesn't want to do.

In addition, Mr. Weasley, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now.

Even if you are the Minister of Magic, you can't take it for granted if you want something! "

Percy:......

A raven in the Slytherin audience had a humanized glow in its eyes. It was Aaron's thought body, entrusted by Aaron to Draco for care.

In the second game, Adrian's arrangement for Aaron was a series of traps. Just in case, he wanted to leave an eye on the shore to pass on important information to him at any time.

And Animagus was the best way, even Dumbledore couldn't see it.

Sure enough, he guessed it right. The light screens showed the performance of the five warriors underwater. It was vividly demonstrated. What if he thought no one could see it and played a few trump cards? Just thinking about it made people shudder.

At the bottom of the Black Lake, Aaron received what the thought body heard and saw, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone's reaction was similar to what he expected, so there was no need to worry too much about using Captain Jack's compass.

He looked at the compass in his hand and thought about his two dance partners, a fourth-year Gryffindor, Hermione Granger, and a third-year Ravenclaw, Luna Lovegrave. Germany.

The compass needle turned rapidly, and soon stopped, pointing steadily forward.

Aaron was slightly stunned. The situation seemed to be somewhat different from what he thought. The two of them seemed to be placed in the same place, not in two completely opposite directions.

But this was also good news for him, and he immediately controlled the barrier to move forward.

Not long after, he heard a familiar song.

Only one hour to find and take back the objects we took away...

Following the guidance of the pointer and the song, Aaron found a ruin covered with moss and algae.

It was obviously the bottom of the lake, but the light here was much brighter than other places.

There were densely packed huge stone pillars and arches standing here, and there were many rough dwellings covered with algae below.

This was obviously the residence of mermaids, but their appearance was a little different from what Aaron thought, and it could even be said that there was a big difference.

Their skin was iron gray, their hair was extremely loose, their eyes were brass-colored, and even their teeth were incomplete.

"It destroyed all my beautiful fantasies about mermaids in one go. "Aaron secretly smacked his lips. He couldn't help but shudder when he thought that one of the blind dates his mother introduced to him was a mermaid.

But then he thought that the blind date his mother introduced seemed to be completely different from these ugly mermaids. She was a real mermaid.

Just as he was thinking this, mermaids surrounded him from all directions. They held spears and pointed at the transparent barrier that enveloped Aaron.

Aaron ignored them and followed the needle in the compass to a huge mermaid sculpture. In front of him, six people were tied tightly to his tail:

Harry's best friend Ron, Cedric's dance partner Cho Chang, a girl from Durmstrang wearing a red wizard robe, who was undoubtedly Krum's dance partner, and a girl who looked eight or nine years old, who was probably Fleur's unlucky sister.

In addition, there were only his dance partners Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood.

They all seemed to be petrified, with only occasional small bubbles coming out of their mouths and noses.

"It seems that I am the first one to come." Aaron looked at his watch, "There are still more than 20 minutes left, which is barely enough.

No, if both of them are here, it will definitely be enough."

"You can only save one." A mermaid said hoarsely.

"One, one? "

Aaron's eyes widened in astonishment, and he turned to look at his two dance partners, and immediately understood the eldest sister's sinister intentions.

Now it seems that he was wrong from the beginning. The second project is not a test for him to race against time, but a difficult choice.

One is an innocent girl who was implicated innocently, and the other is a good friend with four years of friendship. If you choose one, the other may stay at the bottom of the lake.

Maybe the referee is just joking with them, but he dare not gamble on such a matter of life and death.

Adrian on the referee's seat looked at Aaron in the light curtain with interest, "The next one is what I am most looking forward to. You can only save one of the two people. What will you choose?"
