Madam Pomfrey carefully checked Rolf's body inside and out, and only after confirming that he was not injured was he allowed to leave.
However, Rolf seriously suspected that she actually wanted to confirm whether she was Voldemort pretending to be Voldemort by taking polyjuice potion...that's why she was so meticulous.
After completing the inspection, Rolf first went back to Hogwarts Castle to retrieve his black box, and then returned to the Black Lake.
At this time, Shirley arrived at the shore with Padma Petil and became the second warrior to complete the race.
Shirley emerged from the lake and climbed to the shore. Her whole body was moistened by the lake water, her hair on her temples stuck to her cheeks, and a series of water droplets slipped from her snow-white skin that could be broken by blowing.
Luofu covered the girl with a ponytail with a thick cloak. She stretched out her hand to wipe away the light traces of water on her chin and asked in a low voice:
"How long will it take me?"
"Fifty-six minutes." Luof helped Shirley wrap the cloak tightly, then stretched out his right index finger, pointed the tip of his finger at the center of her eyebrows, and tapped it lightly.
In an instant, wisps of water mist appeared around the girl, and the water droplets on her body quickly evaporated and turned into wisps of steam.
Shirley smoothed her messy hair on her temples and said with some dissatisfaction:
"I waited too long at the level of the Rune Snake. I made a mistake at that time, not attacking the left side of its head first..."
Luofu smiled slightly at the girl and said, "It's okay, even if I'm delayed, I'm still in second place."
"How are Hermione and Fleur?"
"They have rescued the hostages and are returning," Luo Fu said.
Shirley looked up at the magic curtain. After confirming the location of the two people, she looked away, leaned into the boy's ear, and whispered:
"Rolph, I heard the mermaid's singing on the way. The voice was very familiar, much like Myrcella..."
"That's Myrcella." Luo Fu smiled, "I have already met her."
The young man quickly talked about what happened before. When he heard that he was attacked by Carlo and others, Shirley, who had always been gentle and gentle, felt as if she had been touched, and said with an angry face:
"Are we just going to let them go?"
"Of course not." Luofu touched the girl's ponytail and said with a smile:
"Both the Carlo brothers and sisters will die in the second event of the Triwizard Tournament. I will ask Merkus, the mermaid leader, to entertain them well."
On the referee's bench, Ludo said in a loud voice:
"Granger and Delacour are swimming toward the shore with the treasures they have rescued. They are very close to each other, and there is still no distance between them.
Krum is chasing the two of them, he is very fast, but unfortunately Granger and Delacour are very close to the shore, so it may be difficult for him to catch up."
"In addition, the other warriors have not yet rescued the hostages. They are all trapped in the building. The magical creatures in those levels seem to be a bit difficult for them..."
Not only was it a bit laborious, Harry now felt that it would be difficult for him to make it out alive!
In the first room, he was poisoned by Loba worm venom. Although he did not die, his whole body was weak and his stomach still hurt;
In the second room, Harry was stabbed in the thigh by Grindylow's slender fingers again. If he hadn't escaped in time, he might have become a solitary man.
In the third room, Harry relied on the method taught by Graplan and was able to easily deal with the water monster, but when he came to the fourth room, the rune snake was difficult to resist.
Just when Harry didn't know what to do, several more warriors came in one after another.
But when the number of runic snakes increases to three, it will no longer increase.
For a time, all the warriors, regardless of school, united to deal with the runes. They finally passed the room successfully and rescued the hostages.
But just after leaving the building, the warriors who had been united just now immediately dispersed and swam frantically towards the shore.
Everyone is on the same starting line at this moment. Whoever reaches the shore first will get better results. Of course, they have to work hard.
Harry thought so too. Even if he was poisoned, he would have to swim to the shore with his roommate Seamus Finnigan.
When Harry was about to leave, he suddenly saw Ron, who was hiding behind a mermaid statue in the center of the square, fighting with Durmstrang's warriors.
Around the two people, there was a large group of mermaids floating around, watching the two of them exchanging passion and bursts of laughter.
Harry had no choice but to put down Seamus and swim toward the two of them. He quietly swam behind Polyarco, hid among the mermaids, and shouted:
"Collapse!"
A dazzling red light hit Polyarco as the water column jumped up, and he fell straight forward.
Ron looked surprised and said: "Harry!"
Harry swam towards Ron and asked curiously: "Why did you get into a fight with Durmstrang's warriors?"
"I robbed this guy as a gift to the mermaid statue." Ron explained: "This guy came to the square to guard me... Did you just arrive here?"
Harry was in a daze for a moment. He seemed to have asked Rove a similar question not long ago.
So, after a moment of silence, Harry imitated Rove and said in an extremely flat tone:
"No, I have completed the second item and now I am returning to the shore."
"..."
Seeing Ron's shocked expression, Harry instantly felt comfortable. Is this the feeling of showing off?
So cool!
Harry also wanted to teach Ron some "experiences" as a person who had been through it, but suddenly it became difficult to breathe.
It feels like being in an environment with thin air and no oxygen.
Harry thought this was a symptom of Loba venom, but Ron beside him was also breathing heavily and his face turned red.
Harry immediately realized with horror that it was not the Loba venom but the scuba potion's effect that was about to wear off.
Ludo also noticed this strange scene, and he wondered:
"What happened to Potter and Weasley? They both look like they can't breathe."
Snape, who was sitting in the Slytherin viewing area, showed a proud smile.
Harry held his breath, turned to look at Seamus, and then looked up towards the lake.
He was poisoned by Loba worm and his whole body was weak. It was impossible to swim from the bottom of the lake to the surface of the lake in one breath while taking Seamus with him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Harry looked desperate and had no choice but to pull Ron and swim towards the mermaid leader Merkus, desperately pointing to his nose and asking for help from her.
"We can't help," Merkus said in a hoarse, deep voice, "unless you two give up the game immediately."
Of course Harry couldn't agree. He had already rescued Seamus, so how could he give up at the critical moment?
Ron was even more unwilling. He even borrowed five galleons to put himself first... If he gave up, wouldn't he lose everything?
The situation froze for a moment, and Mercus suddenly laughed and said: "Actually, there is another way."
She pointed at a group of extremely ugly female fish in the distance and said in a hoarse voice:
"It's still my original suggestion. They can help you breathe underwater, and even help you surpass other warriors and reach the shore quickly.
But after the game, you have to come back and mate with one of them to give birth to the offspring of the wizard and the mermaid."
"..."
Harry looked at the mermaids, they were so ugly:
The skin is iron gray, the dark green hair is long and unkempt, and the eyes are yellow... let alone mating, if you look at it too many times, it will explode.
Harry would rather sleep in the same bed with Snape than with a mermaid.
But Harry soon felt that after his body was deprived of oxygen, carbon dioxide was deposited in his blood, stimulating his instinct to inhale.
He knew that he was about to reach the limit of holding his breath, and if he continued like this, he would only drown.
Harry and Ron looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts:
After deceiving the mermaids first, saying that they would never go near the Black Lake again, could they still go to the shore to catch people?!
Harry and Ron made up their minds and immediately nodded in agreement.
The students in the audience were in an uproar.
If the mermaid from the Black Lagoon grew up to look like the golden twin-tailed mermaid, I'm afraid everyone would agree, but when they grow up to be such ugly creatures, Harry and Ron are really not picky eaters.
Ludo said meaningfully as a veteran:
"Actually, this is not a difficult choice, right...it's the same even if the lights are turned off."
Seeing that the two agreed, Mercus immediately clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, girls, whoever wants to mate with these two should come out quickly."
The mermaids covered their mouths with their hands and whispered for a moment, and finally two mermaids swam out.
Harry wondered how the mermaids helped them breathe underwater - was it using magic, herbs, or potions?
Just when Harry looked puzzled, a female fish swam toward him. She opened her mouth, revealing a set of twisted, sharp yellow teeth, and said shyly:
"Let's kiss, and you come and suck the oxygen from my mouth."
