Chapter 434: Adventures at the Bottom of the Lake (1)

"Oh look there, those two girls spotted the wand first, it might have something to do with their wands being distinctive enough - I see the pattern, yes that's right, I hope they can also spot the wristwatch soon ... "

There is an audible gasp echoed from the audience. Collins woke up without being disturbed by a patterned globe fish or a crab, and the first thing she did was pinpoint the fir wood wand in front of her that stood equal to her height - her hand brushed across its surface and a spark or two erupted from the tip of the wand, which made Collins inhaled sharply.

"Harry's slowing down quite a bit, and he still has yet to discover his wand." Seamus said anxiously.

"Anyone who wakes up and sees a monster fish that can eat them at first glance will be dumbfounded." Dean said, and then he suddenly smiled, "Look at the expression on his face, he found it!"

...

Harry raised his arm and stared at the extra watch on his wrist, he guessed it would have been worn by the professors while they were asleep, the dial instead of showing the time on it, it showed a dull dark golden colour.

Despite the gravity of the situation, he couldn't help but picture something in his mind: Professor Hap strolling through the black lake, with a vegetable basket in his hand, looking around with interest; He then walked to a sandy area, as he picked a half-foot tall Harry (his head tilted to one side, unconscious) from the vegetable basket and placed him on the ground, sticking his wand in the dirt along with him, followed by a flick of the professor's hand a protective shield appeared ...

Harry shook his head and threw away the impractical fantasy. At this point, in his mind a voice popped up, telling him that the black lake is dotted with various "tests", the purple level requires him to fight, after victory he will gain something that will help him survive in the black lake, the blue level requires him to use his brain to think, after success, he will obtain a variety of useful information.

As for the gold, it represents a gem that can break his "curse", which will help him grow from his current height (Harry began to wonder what would happen if he collected a few more pieces). And only when he is fully restored to his original form, he can activate the main function of the watch, which can lead him to his other two companions in the same team.

Harry combined this with the clues provided by the golden egg, then a realization dawned on him, and the various vague information provided earlier became clear.

"Seize the moment, the crisis is everywhere; Weigh them carefully, the choice is inevitable." Harry repeated it softly, only these two sentences did not point to any specific information, it is rather a piece of broad advice, Hermione had repeatedly dwelled on it.

She thought they would have to solve some sort of riddle or make a choice that would suit them, "Maybe everyone will face a different problem." She said worriedly, Ron speculated that it would be similar to the giant wizard chess game they had broken in the first year, "Maybe one or two people would need to be sacrificed at that time ...," he said suggestively.

Now it seems that Hermione's guess is closer to the truth, Harry thought.

In the case of limited time, the most valuable time undoubtedly needed to be spent on finding the golden gem, because it will determine whether you can finally pass, and the other two, are a means to ensure the survival of the champions in the dangerous Black Lake, especially at the beginning of the game, when they are very weak.

Harry already learned that the protective shield in front of him can only last for an hour, so he must seize the time.

He desperately started to think, wand, wand ... He stared irritably at the wand, which stood half a head taller than him, how the heck is he going to move with this thing?

Harry came closer, thankful that he did not wake up in the cold water of the lake, he put his palm on the wand, and a heartfelt feeling came to mind, " Fortunately, you still know me." Harry thought excitedly, "I hope the rest goes well too."

He took a deep breath, turning a blind eye to the patterned globe fish that kept crashing against the outer layer of the protective shield, though the frequency of its attacks had decreased significantly. Harry struggled to mobilize the magic in his body.

He felt his magic sluggish to the extreme, there is a force that continues to affect him, he knew from the hint it is that "curse" Harry grunted: "What curse ... I guess it is an influence of the Professor's magic. "

He adjusted his state, after studying Occlumency, even though the other effects aren't still visible yet, but at least - if he wants to stay calm, it's an easy thing to do.

"Protego." He quietly recited the incantation, and the tip of the huge holly wood wand flickered with a faint bright light, pulsing twice before disappearing.

With almost no effect, Harry started a second attempt, "Protego -- oh, no -- Protego -- Protego --Protego--" After a dozen times in a row, he finally succeeded, and a transparent magic barrier appeared in front of him.

"Next, I need to morph it." Harry said to himself, under his control, the shield charm attached to his body, he looked like he had crashed head-on into an invisible wall, with his nose and eyes pressed firmly against it, to the extent of flattening his nose.

The projection screen on the shore faithfully showed this scene -

Ludo Bagman's voice said with some embarrassment: "Our youngest champion has managed to use the shield charm, which is quite a remarkable achievement - although I'm not quite sure of his intention of sticking his face on it ... but he is the third champion who managed to communicate his wand, and according to our safety officer, champions in this state can only barely use their best spells."

"Look! Uagadou's champions seized the head start in this competition. Their gesture casting is quite brilliant! Is it some kind of animal transfiguration? I'm not sure - they do not appear to have changed much, except for the two extra gills on their cheeks ... Oh my, what did I see? Two Uagadou's champions just gave up their wands, is that a violation? Please discuss with the other judges - the other Uagadou champion carried his wand, this weight is nothing to him. They have already started searching the Black Lake, and they are the team with the fastest progress, meanwhile, Potter is still fiddling with his deformed shield charm, is he planning to suffocate himself?"

There was a roar of laughter echoed through the audience, Harry's performance was clearly more enjoyable, or entertaining. After watching for a while, they almost understood Harry's intention, "He seems to be trying to wrap himself in the shield charm." Bagman said as an afterthought.

"That's a humanoid shield charm, one of the advanced variations of the shield charm, but it looks like Potter is not as skilled at this magic as Granger is." From the audience, a member of the Magic Rune Club said insightfully, "She's out of her protective shield."

In the black lake, Hermione gasped. She didn't dare to stray too far from her wand, and with the protective shield in place, it was the equivalent of having a coordinate and safe house she could locate. She struggled quite a bit to cast a humanoid shield charm, then she tried to explore around the perimeter of the shield, eventually spotting a bright blue light beneath a patch of black algae - hidden in the middle of a group of shells.

A burst of intense joy rushed through her heart, she swam quickly in the black lake, shivering from cold - because of the "curse" on her body, she struggled to use magic, originally she believed that she had mastered the warm charm and Impervius Charm, but both are unusable for now. She estimated that at least one or two golden gems needed to be obtained before her situation could be improved.

Hermione swam in the deep lake, her fluffy hair trailed behind her head, and every now and then she had to look back at the distant hazy light, that is the location of the protective shield, where her wand is hidden. In case she gets lost, she can't do anything about it, she doesn't want to be a hostage waiting to be rescued.

When she got closer, the algae looked like black ribbons, each spread under the action of the current, each one is three or four feet long, like a huge jungle in the water, Hermione hid behind a pebble, peeking out, and then her face glowed with joy, In addition to a small blue, shell-like house, a golden jewel quietly laid on the empty space not far from the house.

"So lucky!" Hermione thought gleefully when a black shadow silently approached, and Hermione got knocked out and smashed on the sand, luckily she had been protected by the humanoid shield charm, so she was merely affected by the aftershocks of the impact -

Hermione blinked and looked at the black salmon wagging its tail away, it also seemed to be attracted to the small blue shell-like house, trying to get closer and closer, but it could not get in.

She desperately tried to brainstorm and quickly made up her mind, Hermione advanced along the shadow of the rocks at the bottom of the lake, halfway through, she also picked up a piece of broken algae for cover, as she moved closer and closer, the salmon rushed toward her as she watched.

Hermione narrowly dodged it, after rolling twice in the water, the humanoid shield charm completed its responsibility very well, but she wondered if the protective layer on her body would be torn if she took a few more hits.

The black salmon tail swung nimbly, and once again rammed aggressively over, when at some point a pale layer of white light condensed on Hermione's hand, as a rune appeared.

She opened her eyes wide and tried to read the salmon's movements, the white light on her hand became even brighter, as she nervously mumbled: "I have an advantage over everyone else, even if I can't use ancient magic, I still mastered quite a few individual runes, that's like few simple magics ..."

"Bang!"

The glowing fist smashed hard on the salmon's head, and the fish maw immediately churned out as it got knocked out by Hermione's Wild bull Rune - Uruz - with a single punch.

"Great." Hermione said excitedly, she had thought it would take a few more attempts to succeed.

She didn't bother to look at the salmon that was floating in the water, and quickly swam behind the little blue sea-shell-like house and stared at the golden gem, which looked as big as her head; when she touched it with the hand that had the watch on it, the dull golden dial lit up, as the golden gem on the ground merged into the watch as if it had melted, and the dull golden dial lit up a bit.

"Huh? Is there a progress reminder? It's a bit like the coin Harry used when he was practicing Apparition, oh, it belongs to Valen now." Hermione thought pleasantly and started to walk into the small blue house to receive her test.
