At noon on Sunday, the weather is clear and the sun is high, suitable for stepping on the lake.
After getting ready, Albert took Fred, George and Lee Jordan out of the castle, walked through the wet grounds towards the direction of the Black Lake.
Several people avoided Durmstrang's big boat berth and came to the lake location that had been found in advance.
According to the original plan, Albert planned to go deep into the Black Lake to investigate the stepping points, and by the way, test the plan prepared a while ago to prevent unnecessary accidents during the second project.
A cold wind blew from the lake, causing the four people who had just arrived at the lake to tremble.
"Are you really going to step on the lake in this spooky weather?" Lee Jordan stiffly turned his head to Albert, who was beginning to take off his robe, and said, "Or, forget it this time, wait until the temperature is warmer. Lake."
"I have to go down to the lake anyway, at least I can't escape." Albert stared at the black lake ahead. He knew that Lee Jordan didn't want to go, so he didn't force him. "It's a good thing to be able to detect in advance. Make preparations so that you don’t get into a hurry during the game."
With that said, Albert turned his head and said to Lee Jordan: "If you don't want to go down, just stay on the shore to help take care of things, anyway, we will definitely need someone to take care of them when we get back."
"Okay, I'll prepare hot drinks for you." Lee Jordan seemed to be waiting for this, as if he was amnesty, and Fred and George next to him cast contemptuous glances at him.
This guy finally admitted it.
Don’t you just know how to swim?
Do you need to worry about swimming if you have a bubble head spell?
"Really cold."
Albert took off his robe and left only his close-fitting clothes. This clothes looked like a Muggle wetsuit and had a good warmth effect, but in this kind of weather, he still felt that it was not very reliable.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan all whistled, stretched out their hands and squeezed Albert's shoulders and said, "If a girl sees you like this, she will scream obsessively, she's really an enviable figure. ."
Albert's figure is indeed very well-proportioned and looks very strong, which has something to do with his previous practice.
"Take a good exercise yourself, you don't need to envy me." Albert began to stretch his body to avoid cramps after going into the water.
"I think it's silly to run like that." Fred murmured.
"So, you can only envy me." Albert shrugged, pulling the question back to the topic and said, "You guys also go to prepare, I will go down to test whether the first set of plans is feasible, if not, I can only use the backup plan. Up."
"Why not just use the second set of plans?" Lee Jordan felt that it was more reliable to use scuba.
"Most of the warriors use the first plan. I think we need to test the feasibility of this plan first." Albert waved his wand and put a magic to keep himself warm. This is a variant of the drying spell, which can make clothes. Keeping it warm and dry, combined with water and fire not to invade the curse, can play a very good thermal insulation effect.
After putting himself on the head-foaming curse, Albert walked directly into the lake on the sand and smooth, slimy stones. There was a deep coldness from the skin touching the lake water, which was still under the condition of keeping the warmth curse.
Really, the temperature of this lake is terribly low.
Albert now admires Krum so much that the guy actually jumped into the lake to swim in a pair of swimming trunks, and it was the coldest month of winter.
What a warrior!
To be honest, Albert is very curious about how the other warriors, except for Harry Potter, who uses branchial grass, resist the cold of the lake?
This low temperature is really no joke.
Perhaps, the magical healing effects of magic make wizards more resistant to online in some respects than Muggles, but it does not mean that wizards' physical fitness and various physical data are better than Muggles.
Albert cast off his other thoughts and plunged into the bottom of the lake. He didn't rush towards the lake. Instead, he opened his eyes and looked around and started looking for the whereabouts of the crying Myrtle. They agreed to meet here.
"Are you looking for me?"
The crying Myrtle didn't know when she appeared in front of Albert, and she looked at Albert's present somewhat funny dress with a smile.
"Next, I beg you to lead the way."
Albert drilled out of the lake and smiled and said to the crying Myrtle, but his smile looked very funny because of the curse.
"Shall we go now?" The crying Myrtle leaned over.
"You stay here for a while, I'll call them down, and change the cannon head curse by the way!" Albert swam back to the shore, and greeted several people after releasing the bubble head curse, "I found Myrtle, you guys. Get ready too!"
Fred and George have put on the same clothes, put a pill of special quality into their mouths, which contains scuba, as long as you bite it, swallow the medicine inside, you can The ability to breathe underwater within a period of time can be regarded as a safety guarantee for everyone by Albert.
After casting a whole set of Albert's magic on themselves, the two threw the simple underwater booster to Albert by the lake.
This thing is a rough toy designed by Albert himself. It can be easily obtained through the transformation spell, mainly through magical rotating fan blades to generate thrust. The underwater speed should not be fast, but it is very suitable for providing auxiliary power.
As for it is not practical, you need to use it before you know it.
"Remember to prepare hot drinks for us."
Fred and George greeted Lee Jordan and followed Albert into the water. They quickly enjoyed the cold lake water of Albert's same style and couldn't help but take a breath.
"Okay, lead the way." Albert said to the crying Myrtle.
"What is this?"
The crying Myrtle looked curiously at the stuff Albert was holding.
"Underwater propeller, the wizard is destined to swim in the lake not fast, so use this thing to move faster." Albert took up the rope, picked up the wand on the other end of the rope, and tapped the underwater propeller lightly. The two blades began to rotate at a uniform speed.
"lets go!"
Under the action of the underwater propeller, the three of them advanced towards the center of the lake.
They don't need to swim at all. They only need to adjust the direction of the underwater propellers a bit, and they can easily follow the team toward the bottom of the lake.
After going deep into the bottom of the lake, the surrounding sight became a bit bad.
However, Albert was well prepared. There was a flashlight-like thing in front of the underwater thruster, which burned with a blue flame, which could disperse the darkness in front and provide partial vision by the way.
The dim light of the flame gathered a group of small fishes, and Fred was reaching out to tease them curiously.
"Don't make trouble, keep up."
George stretched out his hand and patted Fred on the shoulder, beckoning him to follow quickly so as not to be left alone.
"The lake is actually not that big, but it's easier to get lost." The crying Myrtle surrounded Albert and introduced enthusiastically, "If you continue to go deeper, you will encounter a jungle of water plants ahead There are some unfriendly guys. If you just break in, you are not only vulnerable to attack, but also easy to get lost. I suggest going around. Although it may be a long way, it will definitely be much faster than entering the aquatic jungle."
"We plan to find a mermaid village."
Albert waved his magic wand to conjure a paragraph and made them make a sound to communicate with the crying Myrtle.
Fred and George were all surprised by Albert's methods. They didn't expect it to be like this. How did they do it?
Albert didn't care about the surprised look of the Weasley brothers, but was thinking about how to accurately locate the location of the mermaid village so that he could find the specific location more easily during the second project.
To be honest, Albert suspected that the mermaid’s village was hidden in a certain piece of aquatic plants from the forest.
With the speed of the underwater booster, it’s not difficult to find the mermaid’s village, but it’s not difficult to find the mermaid’s village, but everyone’s swimming speed is not fast. It can be found within an hour, and it will certainly not be too far away, about 1,500 feet.
"follow me."
The crying Myrtle took the three of them to the bottom of the lake, away from the tangled black water and grass jungle. During the period, a figure that looked like a big squid was also found.
After an unknown period of time, they finally came to a place that seemed to be a mermaid village. In their field of vision, there were many stone houses piled up with rough stones, and large patches of algae were still stained on them.
"We're here, this is the mermaid's village."
The crying Myrtle looked around, seeming to be afraid of something, and shrank directly behind Albert.
"It seems that we are lucky, and the time is faster than expected." Albert murmured. He narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed something swimming around him.
The arrival of the three ghosts obviously disturbed the peace of this small mermaid village, and the mermaid obviously noticed this group of uninvited guests.
Albert motioned for Fred and George to move closer to him, because several merfolk with spears surrounded them, and one of them took out the conch horn and blew it. The low voice spread in the small village. , Soon got a large response.
"We don't seem to be welcome." Fred looked at the iron-grey mermaid holding a spear, and couldn't help squeezing the magic wand in his hand. He felt that it was definitely not a good idea to have a conflict here. The mermaid's home ground is in the water.
"I think we'd better get out of here." George watched more and more mermaids pouring out of the village, and touched Albert nervously, wanting him to leave.
"They don't like having strangers close to their village." The crying Myrtle said, poking her head out from behind Albert, "I accidentally approached and was driven away with a spear last time."
Fortunately, the mermaids did not attack the three of them, but pointed around a few people, seeming to be discussing their appearance and dress, and they didn't know what they were whispering.
"They should be harmless, otherwise they must have thrown spears at us." Albert looked at the group of mermaids in front of him and tried to negotiate with them. He knew that mermaids could understand people and could speak in the water. Human words.
"I am a warrior at Hogwarts, and the golden egg guided me here." Albert waved his wand to form a paragraph of text, and made it make a sound.
The mermaids appeared in a brief chaos, probably because they were curious about how these people spoke in the water.
"We are not malicious to you, we will leave here immediately."
The mermaids must know about the Triwizard Tournament, at least Dumbledore would have mentioned it to the mermaids. After all, the mermaid under the black lake is also part of the second project, and the golden egg used by the warrior was completed with the help of the mermaid.
"Leaving the warrior of Hogwarts here, the second project has not yet started." A mermaid with a long green beard, green hair, and a short necklace made of shark teeth swims out of the many merfolk, and said in a husky voice. "We will not hurt you, come with me, I will take you out of here."
Yes, Albert can feel that the mermaids have no ill will towards them, and so many mermaids are more curious to surround them.
The three of them were watched, just like monkeys in a zoo, pointed at by a group of mermaids who hadn't seen sorcerers before.
After the celebrity fish stood up, the mermaid group let them go.
"I thought they would enthusiastically invite us in as guests." Fred muttered, never expecting to be driven away as soon as he found the mermaid village.
"They are like this, they are very repellent to outsiders, and the horsemen in the Forbidden Forest are the same." Albert waved his magic wand and changed a line of words.
"The mermaid kept Greenlody." George reached out and touched Albert, and pointed to a small Greenlody tied to a door not far away.
"Don't worry, we will not hurt Hogwarts students at will. This is an agreement from Kulai." The celebrity said when Albert hadn’t moved. The Warriors came here early, and Dumbledore never mentioned it to me."
"I just stepped on it first."
Albert greeted others to leave, and did not forget to guard against a mermaid's sneak attack before leaving. Although they thought that mermaid would probably not attack him, it's always right to be cautious.
Several people were taken by the celebrity fish through the square of the small village. A rough statue stood on the square: it was a big mermaid carved from a huge stone.
A large group of mermaids followed behind a few people, and the whole village sent them away together. This battle was still quite frightening.
They left from the direction of the aquatic jungle. They didn't know if it was the mermaid's malice or that it was the entrance of the village.
Well, in fact, Albert really guessed right. It was indeed the entrance to the mermaid village, and the crying Myrtle took Albert and scratched it from behind the mermaid village.
Staying under the black lake, the mermaids basically had no natural enemies, but they were suddenly touched by the three wizards in the village. They were really startled, and the celebrity fish would sound the conch horn.
Albert suspects that the aquatic plants in front of the forest were planted by fish people to cultivate seedlings or serve as food. Anyway, this large area of aquatic plants is too prosperous. It is so luxuriant that it assists and obscures their vision and traps them~www. novel35.com~ He doesn't doubt that Greenlody is hiding here.
To be honest, Albert didn't want to go through this aquatic forest at all, so after they were taken out of the mermaid village, a few people moved straight to the lake.
As for the specific location of the Mermaid Village, Albert had already dropped the previously-made locator before leaving. It was a magical stone. The location could be locked by tracking magic. To ensure the location was accurate, he was in the Mermaid Village. Three of these were thrown nearby.
As for cheating?
Can this count as cheating?
No, this is an invisible benefit given after unlocking the golden egg.
When he was about to leave the aquatic jungle in front of him, a large group of Greenlodi rushed out of the aquatic plants and chased after the three ghosts who were about to leave, as if they wanted to drag them to the bottom of the lake.
The mermaids who watched them leave just now witnessed this scene, but they didn't mean to help remind them. Obviously, they wanted to see how few people were deflated.
