As Rolf dived into the water, the little wizard started talking about how he could breathe underwater.
Ludo, who was standing on the referee's bench, after a brief silence, his voice resounded like thunder throughout the Black Lake.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just consulted our referee, Mr. Arkus, Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation.
The explanation he gave is that Scamander is holding mermaid scales, which have special magical powers. Holding them in his mouth, he can breathe in the water like a mermaid."
Hearing Ludo's words, the audience burst into even more excited discussions. They did not expect that mermaid scales could have such a magical effect.
So, everyone thought of the mermaids in the Black Lake and wanted to catch one immediately and get a scale.
But what Ludo said next made the students feel disappointed.
"Not all mermaid scales have this magical effect. Only the scales of the golden double-tailed mermaid can."
"This kind of mermaid is famous for its beauty and is extremely rare. They have the custom of giving scales as gifts, but they will only give scales to the most intimate beings."
"So I'm very curious..." Ludo clicked his tongue: "Where did Scamander get the scales in his hands?"
These words also aroused the curiosity of the students.
Dumbledore, who was sitting at the referee's table, naturally knew where this scale came from.
After all, it was he who asked Rove to treat the human maid Myrcella that year.
Dumbledore's main purpose was to get Rolf close to Myrcella and find out about Gryffindor.
Unexpectedly, Luofu went one step further and even obtained scales.
Dumbledore couldn't help but lament that Newt was indeed a master of magical beasts, but he was far inferior to his grandson Rolf in terms of "taming" female magical creatures.
The gap between the two is not a billion points.
"Let us focus on other warriors - Granger of Hogwarts took out a handful of magic plants."
Everyone discovered that it was a slippery magical plant that looked like a gray-green rat tail.
"Oh, it's gillyweed!" Lu Duo introduced knowledgeablely:
"It comes from the Mediterranean and was first discovered by Beaumont Majoribanks. She nearly suffocated after eating gillyweed, and was finally saved by putting her head into the water."
The students were reminded because Beaumont Majoribanks was a member of the Chocolate Frog Cards and a frequent visitor.
After Hermione took the gillyweed, her feet became longer and the toes were connected with webs. The girl jumped into the water with a splash.
"Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons used the Bubble Charm, which was a good idea. Alyssa of Durmstrang took out...the oxygen bottle?!"
Ludo's voice suddenly rose, and he watched this scene dumbfounded.
That's right, Alyssa actually summoned a Muggle diving device, which shocked the students. She put it on slowly and plunged into the lake.
"Look what is that? Merlin, what is Shirley Swinton doing?!"
Ludo's exclamation instantly attracted the attention of all the students. Everyone's eyes were focused on the magic curtain, and their faces were full of surprise.
Shirley jumped into the lake and swam forward in a standard freestyle style. The next second, her waist below the waist turned into a fish tail covered with golden scales.
Shirley jumped out of the water, drew a beautiful arc, and then turned over and fell into the water, causing a huge splash.
Immediately afterwards, the ponytail girl swung her tail gracefully and swam towards the bottom of the lake at an astonishing speed.
For a moment, the audience in the seats were stunned.
"This is the real mermaid." Ludo stretched his neck to look at Shirley and sighed:
"To be honest, I have never seen the legendary golden two-tailed mermaid, but I'm afraid it can't be more beautiful than Swinton."
Ludo's words were unanimously recognized by everyone. After he praised him, he said in an extremely professional tone:
"Swinton probably used human body transformation to turn himself into a mermaid. This is an extremely high-end transformation technique.
No matter what the result of the game is, I will give Swindon a high score."
In fact, not only Ludo, but other professors were also extremely surprised, especially Maxim.
Shirley is only in fourth grade, but with this amazing transformation ability, not to mention senior students, even many adult wizards...even Maxim himself is far from reaching this level.
Even if she is beautiful, she even has such outstanding magic talent. At this moment, Maxim was a little jealous.
At the same time, Klum formed a sharp contrast.
He also used the transfiguration technique to turn himself into a shark, but failed and only turned out half of a shark's head.
This makes Krum look more like a genetically mutated monster after drinking nuclear wastewater.
"Ho ho ho, Krum is a seventh grader. Compared with Swinton, the gap between him and Swinton is really huge." Ludo joked:
"Maybe our Quidditch star didn't put all his energy into studying."
This joke made the students at Hogwarts laugh, which made Karkaroff look very ugly.
Harry stood not far away and witnessed Krum's transformation throughout.
They both had the same score in the first event, so they entered the water close to each other.
Looking at Klum, who was only wearing a pair of shorts and had a shark head, for a moment, Harry had a bold idea.
Of course, he didn't have thoughts about Klum himself, but about the mermaid's gift.
Harry still didn't know what the gift was, but Krum definitely knew.
Harry secretly muttered, wouldn't it be enough if he suddenly knocked Krum unconscious and then took away his gift?
Isn't this standard - my neighbor is hoarding food, and I am hoarding guns?
But Harry did not take action after all, and just sat and watched Krum dive into the water.
Harry also quickly drank the scuba potion he stole from Snape. He took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trousers, and put his feet in the water.
As soon as Harry touched the water, he immediately shuddered and retracted his feet.
The water is so cold!!
…
…
With scales in his mouth, Luofu swam toward the water. He could feel the oxygen contained in the lake pouring into his mouth, making him feel as if he was on land.
However, the scales can only allow him to breathe, but cannot increase his speed.
Therefore, Luofu opened his mouth and took a sudden breath. The magic from the air-winged bird allowed him to quickly absorb the oxygen dissolved in the water into his body like a whale swallowing it.
For a moment, Luofu's belly was bloated, like a frog.
He suddenly opened his mouth and spit out oxygen into the sky:
"The wind is swirling!"
There was a loud bang, and with the help of the reaction force of oxygen, Rove sprinted towards the bottom of the lake like a sharp arrow.
As we went deeper into the black lake, the surrounding visibility became increasingly lower and lower. Luofu's eyes lit up, like laser light, penetrating through the gray and eerie lake water.
His eyes suddenly widened and he discovered a giant squid floating directly below.
Luofu was rushing toward the giant squid at a speed of eighty miles per second, and it slowly opened its mouth.
