Chapter 642: The Gap on the Mermaid Statue

Because of the proximity to Hogwarts, no wizard would go to the nearby waters to collect magic materials, which was not allowed.

Merfolk themselves are not proficient in magic and potions, so they are even less likely to be interested in these things.

After thousands of years of accumulation, the amount of various materials and herbs in the nearby waters has accumulated to a terrifying number.

Two months ago, when Ivan gave the mermaid a gift for the first time, they were overjoyed and originally planned to exchange the graffiti, pebbles, shells and all kinds of messy things used for decoration with Ivan.

In the end, Aiwen could barely accept the magic materials and herbs brought out by a few mermaids.

The mermaids were worrying about not being able to find a suitable item to exchange with Ivan,

Compared with human wizards, their village is too barren no matter how you look at it

Seeing that Aiwen was willing to accept these things, they felt that they had finally found their way.

The mermaids began to collect these magic materials everywhere, and used them to trade with Aiwen.

Over time, this matter spread more and more widely.

The number of mermaids who knew the news increased, and it evolved into the current scene.

Know that merfolk, despite their terrifying appearance, are not actually evil creatures of darkness.

They are not as arrogant as the centaurs, they do not communicate with humans, and they only live in the small circle of their own clan.

On the contrary, the character of the mermaid is very open-minded and friendly.

They maintain awe and yearning for magic, are willing to make friends with human wizards, and love the items made by humans even more.

It's a pity that there are few wizards who can speak the mermaid language and are willing to contact them, and wizards who can communicate will not do like Ivan.

Apart from him, no wizard would exchange items with them for magic materials to meet the needs of the mermaid.

At this moment, a strange picture appeared under the lake.

A large group of mermaids surrounded Aiwen, and precious magic materials were delivered over without money.

Since the mermaid tribe is a sacrificial activity today, the number of mermaids flocking here is much larger than usual.

They floated around Ivan, with big yellow eyes, and the incomplete teeth in their mouths were also yellow.

Every mermaid looked at Ai Wen, trying to show a scary smile that they thought was kind, but looked malicious.

Among all the items that Aiwen brought over, the mirror was their favorite thing, and it was snapped up like crazy!

How to put it, this result is really a bit unexpected!

Ivan wasn't sure if these mermaids would be scared to cry directly after seeing their ugly faces in the mirror.

After a few words of greeting, he irresponsibly dropped all the items on the floor and let the mermaids choose by themselves.

Anyway, they are very trustworthy, and will consciously leave the magic materials used for exchange in place and wait for Ivan to come and collect them.

Aiwen walked to the center of the square and found the strong mermaid he saw for the first time who was stunned by magic.

After several contacts, he knew that the other party had a high status in the mermaid tribe, and was a very powerful fighter, respected by everyone.

Aiwen handed over the gift that he specially selected for the other party, and the mermaid said a few words, which probably meant to express his gratitude to Aiwen, and asked Aiwen to come to him after the sacrifice. Take the corresponding magic materials from the house.

"What is this sacrifice you are doing?!" Ivan asked directly, spitting out a lot of bubbles.

"Just a traditional celebration," said the merman in a hoarse, low voice.

He also spit out a bunch of bubbles from his mouth. The mermaid spoke very quickly, and Ivan still couldn't understand many places.

But the general meaning is clear. This kind of sacrificial activity is left by the mermaid ancestors, and it is carried out once a month.

What interested Aiwen was that the other party told him that there were rumors that this kind of sacrifice was originally an agreement between the mermaid ancestor and the castle builder.

Over time, sacrifices have evolved into the activities of remembering ancestors and large gatherings in the tribe today.

In other words, this incident is likely to be related to the treasure key left by Ravenclaw.

Ai Wen immediately became interested. After chatting with the other party for a few words, he waited for the start of the event.

More than an hour later, more and more mermaids emerged from all directions, and the number reached more than 500.

Many of them do not live in this lake, but make their homes in other waters near Hogwarts.

Even in the central lake of the centaur tribe, there are traces of mermaid activity.

They rushed over from all directions, and many mermaids looked at Ivan curiously.

They pointed at him and whispered to each other with their hands over their mouths.

The things Ivan brought over were sold out more than forty minutes ago.

All kinds of magic materials and herbs filled the two cloth pouches on his body that had been expanded by the Untraceable Stretching Curse.

There are a large number of mermaids floating on the square of the small mermaid village. When the sacrificial activities began, a very strange scene appeared in front of Ai Wen.

The mermaids swam slowly in a circle, and some of the mermaids in the middle began to sing in unison.

The voice sounds weird, but it is very pleasant, completely different from the mermaid's usual voice.

Even the language seems to be different, Ivan can't understand, but this kind of beautiful singing is the voice of mermaid singing in his impression.

They danced and sang around the square, and even though they were in the depths of the icy lake, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more enthusiastic.

The so-called ancient sacrifice now looks like a grand celebration.

The mermaids asked Ivan to join them, and they danced slowly forward according to a special trajectory.

Right in front of the square, stands a crude statue: a mermaid carved out of huge stones.

When the sacrificial activity reached its peak, Aiwen discovered that a strange wave of magic power began to appear in the entire space.

Neither the mermaids themselves nor their singing have magic powers, Ai Wen has confirmed it!

But these singers seem to be able to resonate with the giant mermaid statue, casting a strange magic, a magic that only mermaids can use.

Although the power is not very strong, the rumbling sound keeps ringing inside the statue.

Ivan stopped and looked at the huge statue warily.

"Don't worry!" smiled a mermaid beside him, continuing to dance.

After a while, a deep gap appeared at the position of the tail under the mermaid statue, as if the door was opened and the lake water poured in quickly.

The mermaids didn't enter it, they were still dancing to welcome them, but they indicated that Ivan could enter it.

Aiwen hesitated for a moment, swam to the vicinity of the gap, and looked inside with the light from the outside to browse and read the address:
