Chapter 570 First Communication with the Mermaid

The report on the Triwizard Tournament and the content of this interview in the "Hogwarts Wizarding News" was printed and published the day after the interview.

This report caused a great sensation and repercussions in the magic world.

Aside from the vampire hunt, which still hasn't made much progress, the Triwizard Tournament is the hottest topic in the wizarding world right now.

Wizards all want to know who the warriors of the three magic schools are and their basic situation.

Also, the specific reason why there is an extra warrior, and the content of the competition, etc.

The reports by Aiwen and Hermione are very timely, and the detailed content also satisfies everyone's curiosity, and the sales volume is very good.

That's no surprise, but it's odd that the Rita Skeeter report has been slow to come out.

She and the "Daily Prophet" didn't seem to be in a hurry. Obviously, their concerns were not the same as the reports of Ivan and Hermione.

They seemed to be planning to wait until the heat of the report in the "Hogwarts Wizarding News" passed before publishing their own report.

For the next two weeks, school life returned to its usual calm.

Hufflepuff and Slytherin seem to be finally tired of the endless hostility with Gryffindor. Although they are not very friendly, they have been able to communicate with other people normally, and only when facing Ron, they will show Overt hostility and endless jeers.

Gabriel became more and more familiar with everyone and became a part of Gryffindor.

Ron finally recovered from the excitement of becoming a warrior and began to think about how to face the first project.

He finally started to feel a little scared that he had to complete an unknown, dangerous, and extremely difficult magic activity in front of everyone in the school. With the help of Ivan, Harry, and Hermione, he made up for it a lot. Magic lore and spells.

These things are too low-level. Ron has left behind a lot of homework and needs to learn a lot.

Even so, Aiwen couldn't see how learning these low-level spells would be of any help when dealing with fire dragons.

And Ron didn't study too hard, spending a lot of energy on other things. Although he began to pay attention to this matter, in general, he still didn't realize the seriousness of the incident, and he never thought that the first project content would be a fire dragon!

In addition to occasionally guiding Ron, Ivan's mermaid language has finally started.

At least, that's what he thought. He memorized most of the words he saw in the book.

On the second weekend, he planned to go to the lake to try to communicate with the mermaids and test his learning results.

If you're lucky, you might get intel about the key to the Big Four's secret treasure.

Unlike the lake near the Moon Temple of the Centaur Tribe, the lake in front of the school castle is wider and deeper.

After five minutes of rapid diving in a dark and hazy strange scenery, Ivan came to the bottom of the lake.

There were thickets of rippling, tangled black weeds, and wide flat expanses of sand strewn with shiny pebbles.

Going forward, you may encounter schools of fish and giant squid at any time.

In the middle of the lake, he also saw many remains of mermaids.

For example, a large rock standing upright in a murky lake, with many mermaids painted on it, holding spears in their hands, chasing something that looks like a giant squid or a strangely shaped stone statue.

After some exploration, Aiwen found the mermaid tribe in the deepest depression in the center of the lake.

It was a huge village with many rough stone dwellings speckled with algae.

When Aiwen approached, in those dark windows, some faces suddenly appeared and peeped at him, all of them were mermaids.

This scene is enough to make one's hair stand on end. In the deepest part of the dark water, Aiwen was instantly surrounded by mermaids drilled from all directions.

Unlike the blond mermaids in fairy tales, their skin is iron gray, their dark green hair is long and disheveled, and they have malicious smiles on their faces, as if they were monsters that emerged from the abyss .

Their eyes were yellow, their broken teeth were yellow, and around their necks were pebbles strung on thick ropes.

These mermaids slapped the lake water with their thick and powerful silver tails.

After seeing Aiwen, they didn't say anything, and directly attacked with the spears in their hands.

After a brief contact, Aiwen could communicate with them calmly.

Of course, he did this not with a language he had just learned, but with magic.

This is actually not very difficult. Although the mermaids looked fierce, after seeing the light from the wand in Ivan's hand, they immediately turned their heads and fled around, drilling back into the stone dwellings.

Ivan has never seen such a timid creature before, and they stared at Ivan's wand with pairs of yellow eyes on their faces, looking terrified.

Despite their numbers, Alvin was alone.

From the look on their faces, it was clear that, like the giant squid, they knew nothing about magic and remained in awe.

Aiwen used magic to control a mermaid closest to him, this is a very strong guy.

He stared at those big yellow eyes, staring at Ivan and the wand in his hand in horror, his body was shaking constantly.

The subsequent communication was also not smooth, and it was not a pleasant thing to keep spitting out bubbles from the mouth in the water.

Judging from the expression of the guy opposite, Ivan doubted whether he could understand what he was talking about.

After about a few seconds, he spat out a lot of bubbles at Ivan tremblingly.

This time, Aiwen can be sure that he must not understand what the other party said, he can only recognize a few words.

Just when he was about to make a further attempt, the mermaid under his control couldn't stand the stimulation and simply passed out.

Aiwen smiled bitterly, not expecting such a result.

Looking around, the dark stone dwellings are like haunted houses, and there are no traces of those mermaids anymore.

He finally had to give up this failed communication, leave the dark and cold lake, and return to the castle.

It will definitely not work if this continues. This failed communication experience told Ai Wen that some gifts should be prepared for these timid mermaids.

Perhaps, this will make them feel their kindness.

From the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", we can know that the earliest mermaids appeared in ancient Greece.

They live in warmer waters, have a handsome appearance and a more powerful ability to use magic.

After thousands of years of development, mermaids can now be found all over the world, with various appearances.

Depending on where they live, their appearance and abilities vary.

To put it simply, these mermaids who settled in the lake in front of Hogwarts Castle are a group of ugly creatures without magic.

They may have strong physical strength, but they have nothing to do with the mermaids that frequently appear in many legends and myths.

Love of music is probably the only hobby they have inherited from their distant ancestors.

Aiwen decided to prepare some human classic music for them the next time he came, which might work. (To be continued.)
