Chapter 436: Adventures at the Bottom of the Lake (3)

Felix smiled, as he waved his wand, a golden mist coalesced into a screen in the water, very similar to the projection screen on the shore, only much smaller, even Ludo Bagman's voice heard clearly.

"Twenty minutes short of an hour, at this moment there are still six champions who have not adapted to their chaotic magic, but they all bravely stepped out of their protective shields and explored using the most primitive method - holding breath, a strategy that is certainly correct considering the fact at least one golden gem is located around each of them ... "

"One hour is almost up! Finally, there are only two champions remains, they respectively belong to Durmstrang and Ilvermorny, these two champions will be turned into hostages. Now, let's request the security officer to resettle them safely."

Felix stood up and bid farewell to the Merpeople Chief, a silver cloak condensed behind him, the back hem spread out in the dark lake, and the next second he rushed forward like a gust of wind.

The cloak seems to have some kind of psychic ability, as it quickly parted the lake water ahead, and in just a minute, he managed to locate his first target.

Felix glanced at the half-foot-tall student and leaned down, the cloak behind him flapping freely: "Adam Bewick?"

"Yes, it's me." The male wizard said as he shivered, he looked very wretched, after an hour, he still can't communicate with his wand, so he could only hold his breath and swim underwater to find something, but without any sort of magical protection, the lake in February isn't pleasant.

"Next, according to the rules, you will become a hostage." Felix said softly, looking at the terrified expression on the male wizard's face, he reassured him: "If your teammates saves you, you can rejoin the tournament and, well, make some contributions ..."

Then they appeared in front of a crowd of merpeople quickly...

Then Felix pointed his wand at the male wizard, magic converging at the tip, and the male wizard begged, "Sir, I ..." Before he could finish his sentence, he fell into a deep sleep once again.

"Well, next is the second one." Felix straightened up and looked in the direction of the second person.

On the shore, the audience watched in awe, there were just too many wonderful scenes to see all together, and in the cold winter wind, Ludo Bagman's face steamed up as he narrated in a loud voice--

"Our security officer has managed to pick up the first hostage, although shoving him into his pocket seems a bit rough, but don't worry about them choking ... two hostages will be tied to the stone statue in the Merpeople Square, awaiting their rescue."

"I'll do a quick recap:"

"Hogwarts' two teams of champions, the first team explored methodically, collecting an average of three golden gems each and restored their basic spellcasting capabilities; Cedric Diggory used an ice bomb and extended the freezing range with his magical assistance, thus successfully freezing a dozen Grindylows; Collins Foley's black mist was also quite impressive ..."

"The second team also doing very well, Harry Potter's approach of controlling the patterned globe fish is amazing, and he is the fastest one among all the champions to collect golden gems, with a total of five gems collected, of course, the poor patterned globe fish can no longer hold him up, but Potter has managed to cast an advanced variation of Shield Charm; Hermione Granger didn't think of using the patterned globe fish, and I think it's hard for normal people to think ... her progress is not slow, with five blue levels she cleared, she selected a map of the surrounding area as her reward, which has allowed her to reap a fortune over time, with four golden gems so far

The last champion, Ron Weasley, was stalled at the beginning, but he managed to find a golden gem on his fourth attempt on entering the water by holding his breath, after that he managed to escape back to the protective shield under the pursuit of a Grindylow ... One more point to make, his strategy of making a face was quite useful, the Grindylow seemed to be frightened ... He cast the Bubble-Head Charm as he crawled through the muddy sand, but his direction seems to be a little off, and now he is heading towards the merpeople village, let's bless him ..."

"The third team is from Uagadou, they have cleared quite a few levels, but their luck is not that good, as they only have obtained an average of two golden gems so far, but to my eyes, the champion with the last name Eliphandy is already ahead of Potter, who is currently making the fastest progress."

"The fourth team is from Durmstrang, Krum is making good progress, not encountering any danger along the way, of course, he has to break into the merpeople village to rescue his teammate, I don't know if he can do it ..."

"The fifth team from Beauxbatons, the captain Fleur Delacour's initial progress went very well, but after encountering Grindylow's sneak attack, she had to drop the squid juice and ice bombs to protect herself, after which she became cautious in her exploration ... Her other two teammates did not encounter any problems so far, except that they seemed overly cautious and progressing way behind the rest, but in this circumstance, as long as they don't make mistakes, they can get a good score."

"The sixth team is from Ilvermorny, a quick plug here, they have changed their captain this time, the round-faced male wizard named Byers Bach; both he and the former captain have performed very well, clearing seven and nine levels respectively, the fastest progress, but their speed in collecting golden gems did not match their performance, let's wait and see ..."

...

Ron travelled deep at the bottom of the lake with an irregular bubble-head charm over his head, which he had to recast every two minutes. He didn't find any checkpoints along the way, but he picked up two golden gems very smoothly, which added up to three.

As he explored the bushes, he had accidentally encountered a large squid, which chased him for three or four minutes, breaking two of his bubble-head charms, and in the most dangerous instance, he became strangled by its two long tentacles and was unable to breathe, so in his desperation he smashed its head with his wand, causing it to release a stream of foul-smelling ink, and then he managed to escape using the Revulsion Jinx against the large squid before shoving it into a narrow gap in the Rock.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another huge squid swept overhead, its huge glassy eyes gazed at him; as Ron shivered and hid behind a rock, he recognized this guy, it is a famous giant squid in the Black Lake, maybe the one he just knocked down is its offspring?

Hope it did not see ...

The giant squid slowly paddled across the lake, moving far away from him, Ron looked around and found himself completely lost. Although he did not find a familiar route before, he reckoned it had something to do with his change in perspective. Of course, he really did not want to expose himself in the darkness, only human eyes are the worst throughout the Black Lake, and the thought of countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the darkness, made him feel a chill down his spine.

Ron pulled off the water snail that was stuck on his neck, and identified a direction to move forward; when he got tired of walking, he swam close to the ground, and before he knew it, a steep cliff appeared before him, under the cliff he saw a fuzzy Stone Statues, and on the two Statue there seemed to be people tied ...

Ron opened his mouth wide, lying on his stomach, and observed for a while, then he finally concluded that he didn't know any of the two people, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he made a decision in his heart, that is, he must not be found by the merpeople.

Time passed, he finally got anxious, he only got three golden gems so far, and it is far from enough to " grow up ".

Then he saw a silver light, it seemed to be Professor Hap, he almost thought it was Harry's Patronus, and followed it quite a bit.

He missed Harry and Hermione a lot now; A familiar voice entered his mind:

"Listen ... I only have ten seconds: I do not know how many golden gems you have obtained, but I have discovered a secret, the purple level, the blue level, and the golden gems are distributed in groups in each location, if you find one, you can certainly find the other two nearby, I have tried it six times --"

The transmission came to an abrupt end.

Ron froze, "Hermione?" She's talking to me? Where is she? How was she even able to talk to me?

After thinking about what Hermione had just mentioned, he finally decided to head back, and at the moment he couldn't help but be glad that he had travelled all the way here on foot, leaving a fairly obvious trail, and when he made his way to the rock crevice where he had been sneaked up on by the large squid, that large squid already had disappeared, so he hurriedly picked up his pace.

After returning to the spot where the golden gem was found, he did find a small blue house behind a patch of aquatic weeds, "blue ... test of wisdom ..." Ron's heart shuddered, but nevertheless, he walked in.

In the next second, he got pulled into a library with an ancient structure.

There was no one inside, then a hollow voice echoed in the room, "Champion detected, the test begins." A golden spinning wheel appeared in midair, and Ron noticed a few options such as "Potion", "General Knowledge of Magic", "Rune" that's when the wheel began to spin rapidly.

He felt apprehensive as he muttered, "Don't be a potion, don't be a potion ..."

Finally, the wheel stopped and the pointer pointed in the direction of "Muggle Studies".

Ron breathed a sigh of relief as the voice continued to ask, "Please choose: open book or closed--"

"Open book!" Ron immediately shouted.

A golden parchment appeared on the table, and the dark shelves of the library began to move, followed by a shelf full of books that appeared in front of him.

The hollow voice said, "All the answers are in the book, answer time is ten minutes of outside time, time ratio: 1:5."

Ron's eyes widened, why did he find this level very familiar?
