When the whistle sounded, Ryan grabbed Harry who was about to take off his clothes and shook his head gently, then looked at the others. The contestants from other schools seemed to have been prepared for it, and each of them
They all wore swimming suits under their wizard robes. Now they all took off their coats and stretched their hands and feet in the cold wind, preparing to go into the water.
Within a few minutes, everyone from other schools had already entered the water. Only Ryan and Harry were left standing by the lake wearing a coat.
"Why don't Harry and the others take off their clothes now?" "Maybe they can appear at the bottom of the lake in an instant." "By the way, I heard that Harry has a good figure. Have any of you seen it?" After Ryan heard the last sentence.
Suddenly he felt a sense of enlightenment, because he heard that the person who asked this question was a man.
"Okay, now it's our turn." Ryan said and waved his wand a few times, and soon, a small boat made of blue ice floated up from the water.
"The players at Hogwarts have chosen an unprecedented method to try to pass this competition. I don't know what their results will be. Let's wait and see." Bagman's excited voice came from the referee's table.
After climbing onto the boat, Ryan tapped the side of the boat with his wand. The boat rushed towards the center of the lake like an arrow off the string.
"Take this and listen carefully to the movement in the water. If you hear anything unusual, tell me." After Ryan got into bed, he took out a long flesh-colored string from the bag on his waist and stuffed one end of it into Harry's hand.
ear, and then put the other end into the water.
"What is this?" Harry asked while following Ryan's instructions and listening to the movement in the water.
"Telescopic Ears, a new product invented by the Weasley brothers and I, will soon be added to their mail order list," Ryan explained.
"How cool, wait, I think I heard singing." They were already a certain distance from the shore at this time, and Harry suddenly heard singing coming from underwater.
"It should be the mermaid. I think we have found the place. Point me in which direction?" Ryan pointed his wand at the stern of the boat and asked Harry. Harry quickly pointed out that the sound was in the north near the center of the lake.
Ryan waved his wand to adjust the direction of the ship. Only then did Harry ask: "How are you sure that the location where the mermaid is singing is where we are looking for."
"The Black Lake is too big, so they will definitely put our things in a conspicuous place. As far as I know, the most conspicuous place under the Black Lake is the mermaid village, and it just so happens that their songs can also help everyone navigate.
You must know that the bottom of the Black Lake is all mud and water plants, and the road signs placed are not easy to be seen. And for wizards, the mermaid’s singing voice is more magical."
Soon, the ice boat got closer and closer to the approximate place where the song came from, and the lyrics began to become clearer.
"To find the objects we took away, you need to keep moving forward, that's right, this is the place." Harry said happily to Ryan, because now the mermaid's song had clearly pointed out the destination. At this time, it was just a short time before they left.
It's only about ten minutes.
Soon the ice boat came to the top of the singing. At this time, Ryan and the others took off their coats and took out a potion containing sky blue liquid from their armor belts and drank it in one gulp.
As soon as the potion entered his stomach, Ryan felt that it was difficult to breathe through his mouth and nose, and at the same time, gills grew under his ears. He endured the discomfort and said to Harry opposite: "I have adjusted this underwater breathing potion. Only
The effective time is 20 minutes. Go down and get your things and come up immediately." After hearing this, Harry made an OK gesture, and then the two of them plunged directly into the water.
Perhaps because of the medicine, they did not feel that the water was as cold as when they touched it just now. The lake was dark and the visibility was very low. Ryan could only see things three or four meters away.
"Follow me." Ryan used his wand to draw a phrase consisting of several light spots in the water, and then swam hard toward the place where the singing came from. Five or six minutes later, they saw many rough spots on the bottom of the lake below their bodies.
The stone dwelling is speckled with algae. There are some faces in those dark windows... some faces that are completely different from the legend...
According to legend, the half-length of a mermaid is in line with human aesthetics. Unfortunately, this legend is only half correct. Only mermaids in the Mediterranean area are more beautiful. And because in ancient times, European civilization first originated along the Mediterranean coast, so
The legend of the mermaid has spread all over the world.
The guys at the bottom of the lake now belong to a branch of Atlantic mermaids. Their skin is iron gray, and their dark green hair is long and unkempt. Their eyes are yellow, and their incomplete teeth are also yellow.
Wearing pebbles strung up with thick ropes. It looks more like a fishman.
The place where the singing came from was just below Ryan and the others. It looked like a small square. The square was surrounded by mermaid residences, and there was a huge, rough mermaid statue in the square. A group of mermaids gathered under the statue to sing.
Listening to the song Ryan and the others heard just now.
Well, they are different from the fishmen. At least the song is as beautiful as the legend. But these fishmen never thought that someone would rush down from the water above their heads. After seeing Ryan and the others, the fishmen
There was even a slight pause in the singing: the fishmen singing looked curiously above their heads.
When he swam to the square, Ryan discovered that there were six bags made of water plants on the stone platform under the statue, which were tied to the stone platform with water plant ropes. There was a rectangular gold medal the size of a palm placed in each cage.
When you get closer, you can see that each gold medal has their signature on the golden egg at that time.
Walking on the water by boat is indeed faster than swimming. After counting the bags on the stone platform, Ryan came to a conclusion. Afterwards, Ryan and Harry quickly found their gold medals, and then pulled out the daggers on their thighs.
He cut the bag and took out the gold medal. There was a groove on the top of the gold medal. When Ryan embedded the crystal column into the groove, the surface of the gold medal immediately emitted white light, and then the crystal and the gold medal merged into one. Harry saw this
He also followed the same method to complete his gold medal.
After receiving the gold medal, Ryan made an upward gesture to Harry, and within a few minutes they returned to the water. Only then did they realize that there were still five or six minutes before the drug's effect ended, and the two of them still needed to soak in the water for the time being.
.
In order not to waste time, Ryan got a few handles on the bottom of the ice boat, and then the two of them grabbed the handles and let the ice boat take them towards the Forbidden Forest near the Black Lake.
When the boat was halfway through, the time for the breathing potion was about to come. Ryan and Harry quickly supported the boat with both hands and jumped on board. Afterwards, under Ryan's command, the two of them immediately drank an orange from their waists.
Yellow potion. Within a few minutes, traces of water vapor emerged from the two people's bodies, and the chill in their bones was swept away.
"That's great, so you don't have to change clothes in a small boat." Harry gave Ryan a thumbs up after feeling the warmth on his body. "How could you even think of preparing such a potion?"
Ryan looked at Harry with a look that looked like an idiot, "They say this race is in the lake, so entering the water is a high probability event. The water temperature is so cold in mid-February and I need to find something to warm up after getting out of the water.
It is definitely necessary. I think with so many players, you are probably the only one who has never thought of this."
"Uh" Harry giggled and touched his head. "You know I was just accidentally brought into the competition, so I'm definitely not as well prepared as you guys."
After hearing this, Ryan could only helplessly shake his head.
