Ch 656-660

To be precise, they were a man and three women. They both closed their eyes and seemed to have passed out in a coma.

There are several fierce murloc guards standing directly in front of the statue, which is very difficult to deal with at first glance.

"Hermione? Ginny?!"

When he saw this picture, Harry couldn't help but exclaimed, and immediately recognized the two hostages **** in the middle of the lake.

"Gabriel!" Furong was even more excited than Harry. She was completely panicked and looked at the picture in the crystal ball anxiously, wishing to jump into the water to drive away the mermaids and save Gabriel.

But such sneaking behavior is not allowed, and the Aurors who are in charge of maintaining order are all staring at her at all times.

In desperation, Furong had to turn her head to look at the referee's bench, and asked anxiously.

"Principal Maxim, why did my sister Gabriel appear there? She is only nine years old this year, how can you bear to throw her into the black lake like this?"

Maxim did not answer, because Dumbledore had already answered.

"Miss Delacour, we have obtained the consent of these girls before. They agreed to become hostages voluntarily. We also trust you warriors to be able to rescue them from the bottom of the lake within the prescribed time limit. ..."

"What if we fail? What will happen to Gabriel?" Furong asked urgently. She did not forget what Bagman said before. Once the time limit is exceeded and the rescue is not successful, then they will be forever. Lost the most cherished "treasure".

"Let's put it this way, the waterproof and cold-proof magic I set on several hostages can only last for an hour!" Dumbledore's expression was very serious, and there was no joking at all.

Furong's heart was completely cold. She didn't want to believe that the competition party would be so cruel, but she didn't dare to bet on this possibility...

Harry on the side was also very flustered. After hearing Dumbledore's indifferent words, he only felt cold in his hands and feet. Hermione was his best friend, and Ginny was Ron's sister, no matter which one had a problem. He couldn't accept it.

Harry was worried about whether he could complete the task of rescuing the hostages with his own ability. Those murlocs didn't seem to be so easy to deal with.

In order to avoid being suspected, Ivan's face also showed a somewhat eager look, but his eyes were placed on the strange wizard on the crystal ball screen.

According to the school uniform on the other party, Ivan quickly distinguished that this should be a Durmstrang student, most likely a good friend of Krum.

Thinking of this, Ivan looked at Krum with a shifted gaze, and as expected, the other's face became very ugly.

The competition was so accurate, and did not choose the dance partner Krum invited at the prom.

After all, what they need is a hostage that can shake the faith of the Warriors!

Ivan even guessed that the real test of this game is whether the Warriors can think calmly in such a critical situation and successfully complete the rescue mission.

And Furong's aggressive performance before, I'm afraid she has lost a lot of points...

In the judges seat, Dumbledore sat down again after the explanation, and Bagman coughed slightly, and walked forward to continue the explanation.

"Well, I think the warriors can't wait any longer! So, now I announce...The second game is officially started!" Bagman shouted, raising his wand and launching a beam of light into the sky.

As the beam exploded, Ivan, Fleur, and Krum quickly jumped into the lake, while Harry took a step slower. He frantically pulled open the bottle containing the gills, making a group like The gray-green mouse's tail stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it, and then followed the crowd into the lake.

The little wizards in the stands stretched out their necks to see more clearly. Ron and others got up from their seats worrying about the safety of Ginny and Hermione. Unfortunately, the Black Lake is very deep. Can't see anything.

"You said, Ivan and Harry will definitely be able to save people, right?" Ron looked at George and the others next to him worriedly, and asked.

"I think Ivan will do it, but Harry is a little more suspenseful..." George said hesitantly.

With his record in the first game against the Fire Dragon, he is very confident in Ivan, but he knows Harry's magic level very well. If he has to use one sentence to describe it, he is not much better than Ron.

"But in any case, the hostages should be fine." George added, he didn't believe what Dumbledore said before.

"That's not necessarily true. It would be too risky for me to see Professor Dumbledore. Just put all the hostages in the lake without even an Auror to supervise them. In case the mermaids suddenly go crazy or they are protective demon. What should I do if there is something wrong with the curse?" Fred was furious, worried about Ginny's safety.

"Since you can think of it, the referees must be able to think of this too..." George retorted.

"Okay, stop arguing, look over there!" Charlie interrupted the argument and pointed his finger towards the center of the lake.

At this time, George and Ron discovered that the four crystal **** floating in the air were faithfully recording the performance of each warrior under the water.

After jumping into the black lake, Krum quickly used the transformation magic, his head became bigger and bigger, and black fins grew behind his back. It seemed that he wanted to become a shark.

But human transformation is the most difficult of all transformation magic. Krum's level is obviously not up to this level, so he was forced to stop when he was half transformed, becoming a humanoid monster with a shark's head.

The little wizards on the stands showed disgusting expressions. Although this hand of magic looks very powerful, it must be said that Krum's appearance at this time is really ugly.

Harry's image is not much better than Krum~www.mtlnovel.com~ He has ugly gills on his neck, and his palms and toes are similar to those of merfolk.

In contrast, Ivan and Furong are particularly pleasing to the eye.

The first time after falling into the water, Ivan waved his magic wand and touched the wizard robe on his body, adding a waterproof and moisture-proof curse to it, as if there was a transparent film between the water and him.

Then, the black robes on Ivan's body stretched into a pair of wide "wings" in the water, which could drive his body to float far away with just a light wave.

Furong's water is very good, and her speed is even comparable to that of Krum, who has turned into a half shark. She probably relied on this to only impose a head-foaming spell on herself and dived into the water, as if she planned to do so Swim over.

At this time, it was the end of February, and the difficulties that the warriors had to face were far more than just facing the Murloc guards. The cold lake water was also consuming their little physical energy all the time.

Realizing this, Harry and Krum swam frantically towards the center of the lake almost as soon as they fell into the water, without daring to delay for a moment.

The scope of this black lake is very large, and one hour is very urgent, not to mention that they have to spend some time to find the location of the murloc village.

Ivan, who was behind, had a relaxed look. He had stepped on it in advance and had been here more than a dozen times. Even with his eyes closed, he could swim to the place where the hostages were held.

But now it's a competition, so many spectators watched, Ivan was not good at cheating directly, so he waved his magic wand to transform some rocks at the bottom of the lake into fish, pretending to let them be responsible for exploring the way, and waited for about a while. Minutes to start the action.

However, within a few minutes of swimming, Ivan keenly discovered that something seemed to be following him.

At first, Ivan thought it was the group of mermaids in the lake who came to trouble him, but after looking back, I found that it was not right. It was not a mermaid at all, but the warrior of Boothbat-Fleur De Rakul...

Even though the water in the Black Lake was very deep, the visibility was not high, and the opponent was far away, Ivan still easily guessed the identity of the opponent based on his body shape.

"Are you planning to follow me through customs?"

Ivan suddenly understood the other party's plan, couldn't help but smile, wanting to take advantage of him, how easy it is!

Seven meters away from this, Furong was staring at the figure in the distance, struggling to swing his body behind him, not far or near, just hanging from so far.

After seeing the picture in the crystal ball on the lakeshore, Furong was very worried about the safety of her sister Gabriel, but her eagerness did not destroy her sanity.

The Black Lake at Hogwarts was too big, and she had never been here again. Wanting to find the village of mermaid quickly was nothing short of a fantasy, and the guards over there were not so easy to deal with.

So she came up with a bold idea to follow someone who will definitely be able to complete the game, such as Ivan Hals, who shined in the first game and cleared the game with full marks!

Before at Hogwarts, for the purpose of collecting intelligence on opponents, Fleur asked some Ravenclaw girls about their deeds, and the information obtained was shocking enough to refresh her recognition. know!

Especially when she heard that the other party killed a twelve-foot-tall monster when she just entered the first grade, and killed a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor before the end of the class, she almost thought these people were talking about it. A ridiculous and unruly fairy tale.

But the experience of the first match made Furong have to admit that these stories probably happened because the other party did something even more outrageous-defeating a fire dragon head-on!

Because of this, Furong believes that Ivan will definitely be the first warrior to find the location of the mermaid village and successfully rescue the hostages, and he only needs to follow the opponent to successfully pass the level.

It's very easy and safer...

If there is a danger ahead, you don't even need to do it yourself, because the other party will naturally solve it.

The only thing to note is that the Hogwarts warrior may attack himself, after all, this is a game, and they are now rivals!

Furong held the wand tightly, carefully keeping a distance where she could react quickly without being lost.

In this way, Ivan would waste a lot of time if he wanted to subdue himself.

In today's race against time, wasting time is tantamount to giving victory to other warriors.

So she is betting that the other party will not do anything to herself in order to ensure the victory!

Even thinking about it this way, when he noticed that Ivan stopped and looked at him, Furong couldn't help but become nervous.

Fortunately, Ivan's next reaction was just as she had imagined, she didn't mean to do anything, and stopped for a few seconds before moving on.

Furong breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed, with a slight smile on her mouth, very proud of her heart.

But what made her faintly felt that something was wrong was that Ivan was walking towards the deeper part of the Black Lake, and the surroundings were getting darker and darker, the visibility was slowly decreasing, and the field of vision was reduced to less than ten feet, which made her have to draw closer. The distance between Ivan will not be thrown away.

What made Furong more uneasy was that there were some weird sounds faintly coming from the surrounding darkness, and from time to time I could see something surging in the darkness.

"Lumos~ (fluorescence flashing Furong gently waved his wand, the faint blue fluorescence spread in all directions, and saw the hideous and ugly fish faces and the steel forks faintly flashing in their hands.

It's a mermaid!

Furong almost couldn't help but exclaimed, because there were too many of them, and she was not able to contend by herself. She immediately turned her head and wanted to find Ivan's figure-she thought that the only thing she could do right now Ivan was able to escape from here by teaming up.

It's a pity that she was dumbfounded when she turned her head, because Ivan was long gone...

"He must have done it deliberately!" Furong gritted her teeth. She immediately realized that Ivan had deliberately brought herself here, and she might have already run away now.

Ivan's ruthlessness far exceeded her expectations, and she had the heart to leave her here alone. Furong cursed a few words secretly, but there was nothing to do.

After being irradiated by the light, the fish people around, as if they were irritated by some kind of irritation, launched an attack towards Furong, throwing countless black shadows over.

"Impedmenta~ (obstacles Furong waved her magic wand to release an obstacle curse~www.mtlnovel.com~ a large number of stones and corals smashed on it and quickly broke it.

Furong quickly blessed herself with the phantom spell, trying to avoid the mermaid's pursuit, but she obviously underestimated the perception ability of these monsters in the lake. This magic was easily seen through, and in desperation she could only Fighting and fleeing to deal with these monsters.

At this moment, Ivan was maintaining the Phantom Body Curse from a distance, watching from the outside, his magic level was much higher than that of Furong, so naturally he would not be discovered whereabouts.

"These mermaids are too embarrassed. When fighting a wizard, they only dared to throw stones from a distance..." Ivan couldn't help but complain in his heart as he looked at the scene in front of him.

I don't know if these mermaids were so embarrassed out of fear of wizards, or because of Dumbledore's previous orders.

Maybe there are both...

After Ivan shook his head, realizing that Furong was not in danger of life, he turned around and plunged into the jungle of black aquatic plants in front of him, with the mermaid village in front.

After entering the "lake-bottom jungle", the road ahead became difficult, and the visibility around it was reduced to a minimum. You can only see the undulating and tangled black water plants in the lake water. They occupy all the sight. .

While swimming, a dark creature suddenly protruded out of the water weeds in front of him. Its sharp claws stretched out and tried to hook Ivan's ankles, but before they even touched a dazzling red light, they banged first. Coming over, the sharp claws were blown into two pieces abruptly.

A painful, sharp howl resounded in the black lake, and then the weird creature with long horns on its head and sharp teeth fled to the water grass and disappeared.

"Another one!" Ivan shook his head helplessly, putting away his wand and lazily chasing it.

This green-skinned water monster with horns, Ivan once saw in a book describing underwater magical creatures, named Grindillo.

This kind of magical creature usually likes to lurch in dense aquatic plants. When the prey is passing by, it suddenly protrudes its paws to hook the opponent, and finally drags it into the aquatic plants to enjoy it slowly.

They can be said to be the most dangerous creatures the warriors need to face. After all, they have sharp fangs and teeth, and they are scary with low IQ. They don't know how to be merciful like murlocs.

There were constant troubles along the way. Ivan managed to solve a giant squid that was more than four meters long and stunned two mermaids who were blocking the way, before finally successfully reaching the mermaid village.

There were more and more stone dwellings around. From a distance, Ivan saw the huge mermaid statue, and the four hostages were so firmly tied to the tail of the statue.

The nearby mermaid guards started to move after seeing Ivan approaching. They held up their shiny steel forks in a semi-circular ring around Ivan, and uttered a deterrent roar.

"Stupefy~ (fainted) PetrificusTotalus~ (all petrochemicals

In the face of at least dozens of merfolk, Ivan didn't mean to flinch at all. He quickly waved his wand and turned down several murloc guards holding steel forks.

The stones that fell on him were all resisted by the Iron Armor Curse.

Just when Ivan thought it would be a big battle, he unexpectedly saw that the remaining mermaids showed horrified expressions, screamed and threw their weapons aside, and fled in embarrassment.

This made Ivan very speechless. It seemed that these mermaids had a deeper fear of wizards than he had imagined, and they would run away if the war went unfavorable.

But this also just saved him a little effort.

Ivan didn't bother with the mermaid they ran away. He swam all the way to the huge statue, ripped off the water weeds that bound Hermione, and then stretched out his wand and nodded on her forehead to relieve Dumbledore's coma. Curse.

Hermione's closed eyes moved, and they opened after a moment, but the brain was still a little drowsy, and the memory seemed to remain at the moment before falling asleep.

After seeing Ivan, Hermione was impatient to say something, but as soon as she spoke, the lake water poured into her mouth.

Fortunately, Ivan added a bubble curse to her in time to avoid the fate of suffocation.

"Don't worry, Hermione, we still have a lot of time, you can speak slowly..." Ivan gently patted Hermione's back and said softly.

Hermione coughed out the water that was choking in her throat painfully, and then looked around blankly, only to realize that she was now in the deep lake.

"Are we in the Black Lake?" Hermione instantly understood where she was, and looked at Ivan and asked.

"Yes, that's right!" Ivan nodded, then asked again. "Do you remember how you got here? Hermione?"

"Professor McGonagall found me last night and said that the second game was special. The Warriors needed an assistant and asked me if I would like to help. I agreed... and then I didn't know anything." Hermione was a fan. Vaguely explained.

Ivan was not surprised, this was basically the same as he had previously expected.

"Are you playing now? So what should I do?" Hermione quickly regained her senses after her head was dizzy for a while, and she hurriedly asked.

"You don't have to do anything, as long as I take you ashore, the game is over!" Ivan said with a smile, and then saw Hermione still seem a little confused, and continued to remind. "Have you forgotten the tips given in the mermaid's song? The warriors need to find their most cherished treasures at the bottom of the lake!"

Hermione naturally heard the underlying meaning of Ivan's words, her face that had been so pale in the lake water suddenly turned ruddy, she stammered. "So I am..."

"The most cherished treasure of Hogwarts warrior Ivan Hals!" Ivan replied solemnly.

While talking, Ivan also pointed to the giant statue behind. "According to the script, you were kidnapped by those mermaids, so I come here to rescue you now!"

Hermione turned her head and looked over, only to find that a man, two women and three hostages were still held on the statue of the mermaid, one of whom she knew very well.

"Ginny! Is she here too?" Hermione exclaimed.

"Ginny is Harry's "treasure"." Ivan explained, then spoke again. "Well, time is running out now, let's leave now!"

"What about Ginny and the others?" Hermione hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said.

"That is Harry's task. If I rescue all the hostages, the others will not be able to continue the game..." Ivan has no plan to rescue everyone, because strictly speaking it is a violation of the game. According to the regulations, unless there are warriors who take the initiative to give up the game.

Hermione nodded ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although she was still a little worried, she didn't say anything.

Taking into account the limited time, Ivan no longer delays, and directly stretches out his hands around the slender waist of the little witch and hugs her in his arms.

After soaking in the cold water for so long, Hermione's body was cold and frightening. Even knowing that Dumbledore's anti-cold spell was there, Ivan was still a little bit distressed.

Hermione shrank submissively in Ivan's warm arms, greedily drawing heat from him.

After that, Hermione seemed to have thought of something again, hesitated for a while, and finally blushed and quickly kissed Ivan on the side of the cheek.

The warm touch made Ivan lower his head.

And Hermione hid in his arms again like a frightened rabbit, but the trembling voice still reached his ears faithfully.

"According to the script, this is a reward for the warriors!"

Ivan touched his cheek for a while and couldn't laugh or cry. He was just joking just now, but she didn't expect Hermione to be real.

You know, it's live broadcast now...

Ivan looked at the little witch in his arms with a weird face, and didn't know how Hermione would react when she saw those crystal **** after she went ashore.

The thoughts in his brain kept flashing, and Ivan was not idle for a moment. He gently waved his wand on the wizard's robe, and the robe once again transformed into a black "wing" shape. It rushes in the direction where it came.

Passing through the mermaid village, Ivan re-enters the dangerous jungle at the bottom of the lake.

Since I had been inking with Hermione in front of the mermaid statue for a long time, half of the one-hour game time limit had passed.

But what surprised Ivan was that he hadn't been able to see the other warriors on the way back.

Are you lost? Or is it that you have withdrawn from the game?

Ivan frowned.

Don't look at him a few days ago, he fooled the mermaids, ordered them to arrange the venue, and harassed the participating warriors as much as possible, but in Ivan's view, these mermaids were too timid, and they were horrified after two fights. So the difficulty of the whole game is not high.

Compared with the original time and space, the change is nothing more than that the mermaid will actively attack the warriors in groups, there are more than a dozen Grindillos ambushing in the aquatic jungle, and occasionally encounter some wandering giant squids.

They are all non-magical creatures. As long as the warriors hold the wands in their hands and can deal with them calmly, it should be no problem to expel them.

"Halse!"

When Ivan was thinking about it, a faint voice suddenly reached his ears, and he subconsciously looked down at Hermione.

The little witch shook her head, pointed her finger at the aquatic grass behind her side, indicating that the sound was coming from there.

Ivan squeezed the wand tightly, thinking about whether he should go there, because it was probably a trap.

Such places with dense water and grass are the most suitable for sneak attacks, and he is now the first warrior to rescue the hostages, maybe there will be warriors hiding here to ambush him in order to win the championship.

During this delay, the shouting voice has become weaker and weaker, even to the point where it is inaudible.

"Let's take a look, Ivan... Maybe someone is in trouble." Hermione gently pulled the corner of Raivan's clothes and whispered.

Ivan hesitated for a moment, and nodded out of confidence in his own strength. After blessing Hermione with an iron armor curse, he leaned over and released a lighting magic with his wand held high.

The faint blue fluorescence gradually dissipated the surrounding darkness, and the scene ahead far exceeded the two's expectations.

"Furong?"

Hermione was very surprised to see the Boothbarton Warrior who fell into a coma in front of her. A large number of black water plants were twisting and entangled tied to Furong's body, binding her firmly, and the bare arms and waist were still faintly I could see a few bruises, as if they had been smashed out by something.

Ivan could easily see that this should be a trap set by the mermaids...

He guessed that Furong suffered some injuries when she got rid of the mermaid chase, and just happily slammed into this trap, which caused him to fail to break free at the first time. The water plants became tighter and tighter, and finally exhausted all his energy and coma. Past.

Hermione looked at Fleur who was in a coma, then turned to Ivan, and stopped talking.

She wanted to speak out and plead with Ivan to save the opponent, but she also knew that they were opponents in the game now, and Ivan didn't have any need to help each other, so it would be good if she didn't fall into trouble.

Hermione struggled for a while, but couldn't help but ask. "Will you save her? Ivan?"

"Save!" Ivan didn't hesitate much. Furong, who had passed out of a coma, no longer had the possibility of competing with him.

What's more, it's still live streaming, and saving Furong is likely to add impression points. If you don't save it, the students and referees who watched this scene off the court will most likely mistake them for being very cold-blooded.

"Diffindo~ (torn apart

As soon as he thought of it, Ivan waved his magic wand decisively to cut off the water weeds that bound Hibiscus, and then used the healing spell to help her heal her wounds, so as to prevent Hibiscus from bleeding too much and dying on the way.

But what was beyond Ivan's expectation was that as he approached him to heal his injuries, Furong's closed eyes suddenly opened and grabbed his arm.

Ivan's reaction was not unpleasant, and the wand had reached Furong's neck in just an instant, and the front end was faintly shining with red light.

The chill deep into the bone marrow made Furong feel the taste of death approaching, but despite her disregard, she still clung to Ivan's arm tightly, begging.

"Please help... Hals! I can give up this game, please, help me save Gabriel... She can't stay here..."

Furong's face was pale and a little scary, and she kept crying weakly and weakly, her face no longer the previous arrogance, full of humbleness and powerlessness.

Listening to Fleur's words, Ivan was speechless. After a little thought, I should know that it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore to sit back and watch the hostages happen. Only the warriors are in danger.

It's a pity that Ivan didn't have time to explain, and Furong, who was holding on, was in a coma again. Only one of his hands was still holding his arm tightly and couldn't shake it off.

"It's really troublesome, I would leave her alone if I knew it..." Ivan sighed and muttered softly.

On the side, Hermione looked at Furong's deep pleading, somewhat unbearable. After thinking about it, she turned her head to look at Ivan and suggested.

"Or let's help her... Now there is still some time before the end of the game. The other Warriors have not arrived yet. Even if we go back to save Gabriel now, we will definitely be the first to complete the game~www.mtlnovel.com ~How easy is it..." Ivan shook his head, plus Gabriel, he was about to take three people back, which would greatly slow down his forward speed.

Just as Ivan was thinking about it, there was another noise from the black water grass in front of him, and Ivan subconsciously waved his wand to point there.

After a while, Harry's head came out of the water weeds. His condition didn't look very good. There were a few small cuts in his arms and thighs, and his clothes were tattered.

The most striking thing was that Harry was carrying Krum, who had become half-human and half-shark on his back.

The other party seemed to have fainted like Fleur, even if Harry knocked Krum's head accidentally, he didn't mean to wake up.

"Harry, what are you doing behind Krum?" Ivan looked at him very surprised.

"He fainted with those mermaids. I can't leave him there alone." Harry panted hard, and the water kept pouring in from his mouth, and then followed the neck. The cheeks are excreted from the body.

Looking at Harry who was so kind, Ivan didn't know what to say.

Saving Fleur by himself was only easy on the way back, but Harry was different. He could be regarded as actively assisting his opponent, even if he did not hesitate to delay the game.

No wonder I came here so late...

"Even if you don't care about Krum, the Aurors will come to rescue him soon!" Ivan reminded him.

"Is that so? Professor Dumbledore never said this..." Harry looked embarrassed. He didn't think so much at the time, only that he couldn't leave Krum alone in the lake.

"By the way, what happened to Fleur? Was she also attacked by a mermaid?" Harry's gaze quickly turned to the Boothbarton warrior.

"She was caught in a trap and passed out!"

Ivan briefly explained, and then exchanged information with Harry's, only then did he understand what was happening on the other side.

Not long after the start of the game, Harry and Krum, who had taken the first step, were besieged by a large group of mermaids.

Due to his weaker strength, Harry only dared to swing his wand to counterattack defensively, while Krum relied on his powerful combat power in a deformed state to fight the mermaids in close hands, wanting to break through.

At the beginning, it went smoothly, until Krum severely injured a few merfolk, those monsters became irritable, took turns to attack in groups, and knocked Krum unconscious on the spot.

"They stunned Krum and left. I don't know why those merfolk let me go..." Harry said in a daze. He just waved his wand and put some magic on the mermaids that surrounded him. They fled in horror.

Looking at Krum, who was scarred on Harry's back, Ivan's eyes were full of pity.

Due to Dumbledore's orders, as long as the warriors did not deliberately anger the merfolk, these lake creatures would have no guts to attack too hard.

Coupled with the mermaid's fear of magic, Ivan doesn't even regard them as a threat.

It's a pity that Krum clearly doesn't know this. It's strange that he wants to be strong in front of him with his excellent transformation magic and not be beaten up.

Ivan suddenly found that he seemed to have overestimated the strength and on-the-spot adaptability of Fleur and Krum.

He went to talk to those mermaids before, to increase the difficulty of the second game, just thinking about adding a little trouble to Krum and slowing down the opponent's rescue of the hostages.

But I didn't expect it to be such a result...

Ivan glanced at Harry, who was wounded on his body, and then at Fleur and Krum who had passed out. The corners of his mouth twitched, each of them was too miserable...

"Ivan, what should we do next?" Harry asked. He had gone through a big battle before and swam so far with Krum on his back. His physical strength has been exhausted.

"What else can I do? Of course it is to bring them and the hostages together. Time should not be too late..." Ivan said helplessly.

...

Half an hour ago, over the Black Lake, five huge crystal **** were faithfully presenting the scenes at the bottom of the lake to everyone.

Ugly-looking mermaid holding a steel fork, Grindillo lurking in the jungle of aquatic plants waiting for an opportunity, a giant squid that is 15 feet long...Every thrilling scene makes the little wizards present sweat for the warriors. .

And watching Maxim on the judges' bench was also fidgeting, her eyes were staring at one of the crystal balls, watching Furong's every move.

At first, Maxim was still a little dissatisfied when she saw Fleur following behind Ivan and planning to pass the level like this. She thought that such a move by Fleur would make Bussbarton lose face.

But when he saw Furong being trapped by Ivan and besieged by a large group of mermaids, Maxim couldn't take care of so much. Her expression suddenly became tense. She turned her head hurriedly and questioned.

"Principal Dumbledore, will this game be too dangerous for the Warriors? You haven't told me that the mermaids at the bottom of the lake will attack the participating Warriors!"

Facing Maxim's doubts, Dumbledore seemed very calm, and he did not rush to explain. "Please rest assured, Ms. Maxim... If you pay close attention to it, you will find that the mermaids are very measured and won't really hurt Miss Furong..."

Maxim looked back suspiciously, and noticed that Furong had persisted in the siege of many merfolk, but only suffered some bruises, which made him a little relieved.

Dumbledore looked at this scene distractedly, and felt a little strange in his heart. According to the agreement between himself and the merfolk, it shouldn't be possible for a mermaid to attack the warrior.

Before Dumbledore could think clearly, Karkaroff suddenly jumped up angrily. He stared at the picture in one of the crystal balls, and scolded angrily.

"What the **** is going on? Dumbledore, you need to explain to all of us that those **** merfolk stunned Krum! According to the regulations, their task should be to protect the hostages and the warriors!"

Several referees around also turned their heads and stared at Dumbledore, waiting for his reply-the communication with the mermaids has always been Dumbledore's sole responsibility.

Regarding this ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Dumbledore has a headache. Of course, he also saw the mermaid in the picture and was knocked out of Krum, and he couldn't help but suspect that the mermaid might have misunderstood the meaning of his words.

But facing the questioning gaze of Maxim and Karkaroff, Dumbledore would naturally not take the initiative to hand out his handle. After a moment of indulging, he replied with ease.

"Everyone, I think there is nothing wrong with the regulations of the second game! The mermaids abide by the agreement with me and do not take the initiative to cause harm to the Warriors, but it does not mean that they cannot interfere with the rescue operations of the Warriors. This is also the game. One ring!"

"But they stunned Krum now, making him unable to play. This is what you said that the mermaid didn't take the initiative to cause harm to the Warriors?" Karkaroff yelled grumpily.

"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded, and continued before Karkaroff cursed. "We all know it was Mr. Krum who angered the mermaids first, didn't we? They fought back because of helplessness."

"In addition, you may have noticed that the mermaids are extremely afraid of the magic of wizards, and the warriors can easily dispel them as long as they lift up their wands and release a few deterrent spells. This is a good test, isn't it? I? I had hoped that all the warriors would discover this the first time!"
