,!

"Frankly, I think it might be a little harder for these kids - but if they can think of a solution, it shouldn't be too much of a problem?"

Ms. Maxim, who was sitting on the chair, exchanged her upturned legs. Her movements were not elegant enough for her huge body, which made her look a little weird.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "If they can think of casting a Confusion Charm on themselves, the Mermaid Song won't have any effect on them."

Karkaroff on the side didn't look very happy, since he heard the details of the second challenge just now.

"Dumbledore! You didn't say that the content of the second game would cause amnesia! What if Krum forgot his sense of smell as a Seeker?"

Before Dumbledore could speak, Grindelwald glanced blankly at Karkaroff, who immediately fell silent.

However, Dumbledore still explained gently: "This is the result of the rune inscription, which essentially blocks a user's memory instead of erasing that memory—if they want to complete the game in the end, go to Just find a way to unlock this inscription."

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Karkaroff instinctively wanted to snort coldly, but he immediately suppressed it - Dumbledore is a good talker, but Grindelwald is obviously not.

Hearing Karkaroff's stiff cough, the originally calm Ms. Maxim also cleared her throat: "I hope they didn't encounter any trouble at the bottom of the lake..."

…

"Listen, the easiest way to get past the Mermaid Song is to cast a Confusion Charm on yourself, so that this essentially magical song won't affect your brain. After all, an already confused brain can't be Confused." Sean explained.

The song of the mermaid is indeed easy to solve, for wizards who understand this kind of singing—coincidentally, Sean heard it from Grindelwald when he was studying with Grindelwald.

Daisy on the side was a little puzzled, her face piercing through the bubble looked bulging: "If we are under the spell of confusion, how can we get to the center?"

Stephanie said: "If the wizard's spell skills are strong enough, he can control the intensity of the confusion spell, so that even if his mind is in a state of confusion, he can still have a general goal—however, since there are three people in the team, it can be done by others. Wizards can help remotely within the unaffected range, which should be one of the goals of the referees setting up this project."

Sean nodded: "It should have been solved by the cooperation of three people, but we have an easier way..."

Stephanie was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately reacted: "I see, that's right..."

Daisy turned her head back and forth like a spectator on a tennis court: "There is another way, what way? Why did you think of it all at once?"

Sean smiled: "Isn't the solution under us?"

"Below?" Daisy looked down, and she was surrounded by a group of resilient water plants.

She suddenly realized: "Yes."

The horse-shaped water monster is different from a wizard. It has a much higher magic resistance than a normal wizard, and the biological instinct is stronger than a wizard.

"The song of the mermaid doesn't work on the horse-shaped water monster, well, it's too simple for us." Sean didn't say a word.

So simple that he felt that someone had opened a back door for him - he maintained a good friendship with the horse monster in the Black Lake, and Professor Dumbledore could not have known this...

Sure enough, the old man still concealed a lot from the organizer behind his back...

"Just let the horse-shaped water monster drive me there. If the three of us are in a state of chaos, it's not safe." Sean said.

Both Stephanie and Daisy nodded, this is indeed the best choice.

Both raised their wands, ready to strike at the merfolk if anything happened. Moreover, although there is no one around now, there may be other contestants coming over at any time, and they may interrupt Sean's progress in order to prevent Sean from winning.

Just do it, Sean let the little Selma Lake monster lurk aside, reconfirmed that there is no danger - he even opened the entrance and exit of the ring, if the sea monster suddenly appeared, the adult Selma Lake The monsters will directly kill all the creatures here.

The resilient aquatic plants of the horse-shaped water monster gently wrapped Xiao En, and then under Xiao En's command, it swam straight towards the center of the mermaid group.

Sean, who had cast the Confusion Curse on himself, felt turned upside down for a while, and lost his sense of direction all of a sudden, but he still maintained the most basic sobriety.

As soon as he entered the effective range of the Song of the Mermaid, another sense of chaos also tried to rush into Xiao En's mind, but the head that was originally a lake of pulp refused the entry of another spoiler.

The mermaids glanced at each other, and they saw a huge horse-shaped water monster swimming towards the thing they wanted to protect, and the horse-shaped water monster carried a contestant they were supposed to stop.

This makes the mermaids a little confused, the horse-shaped water monster is considered an external force, do they need to be stopped?

The mermaid leader thought for a while, and it made a series of piercing calls, indicating that the tribe didn't need to take any extra actions - this was not within the scope they had agreed with the wizard.

In this way, the horse-shaped monster carrying Sean passed a large group of mermaids very smoothly. The mermaids kept singing with their mouths open to confuse consciousness, but this was of no use to the horse-shaped water monster at all.

Soon, the horse-shaped water monster brought Sean to the very center, and each of the five thick chains had a stone locked at the end.

"This is what I'm looking for..." Sean didn't have much consciousness left, but enough for him to react to the final target.

He swam over in a somewhat confused way, and then grabbed a stone inscribed with runes.

A warm feeling surged from his arm—a strange metaphor popped up in Sean's mind after he woke up.

It's like a mermaid **** on his arm...

He shook his head to throw away the inappropriate metaphor, and came to his senses.

The small piece of lost memory really resurfaced in his heart again, and, to Sean's surprise, the rune inscription stone not only unblocked his memory, but also undid the confusion spell by the way.

He was going to hold it in his hand, and then go back and ask Stephanie and the others to undo the confusion spell for him.

This is a good thing, if you carry it with you, wouldn't it be immune to the Confusion Curse... Sean looked at the rune inscription stone in his hand, and an idea came to his mind.

But just thinking about it, the inscription stone was firmly bound by chains, obviously they were not going to let them take it away.

Immunity to the Confusion Curse is not a very useful thing... Sean comforted himself.

Only then did he have a clear consciousness to look around.

The mermaids were not close to the center, they seemed to be just the guardians of the periphery. When Sean entered, they were still singing, but they didn't intend to hinder Sean's actions.

And the center is the intersection point of the five chains. The chains are tied to a large pile of white bones. The bones have different shapes, including those of mermaids, humans, fish, and beasts...

All kinds of white bones formed a pile of bone mountains, which looked extremely cold at the bottom of this dark lake.

There is still such a place at the bottom of the black lake. Is this the territory of mermaids? But I saw that weird sea monster here before...

Xiao En looked at the mountain of bones, and suddenly his eyes froze.

That is…

He turned his head and looked around, making sure that the mermaids didn't care about him, and then swam over.

In the very center of the bone mountain there is a small flat land, which seems to have been man-made, and in the center of the flat land are scattered a few skulls.

That skull was the source of Sean's doubts.

He's seen this stuff.

At the beginning, when he rashly broke into another secret room of Slytherin, he accidentally saw eye contact with the basilisk living there, physically eye contact—he pouted.

Because of his arrogance, Sean could look straight at everything, but because he was not strong enough at the time, he was still in a coma for a whole week.

According to Dave, the basilisk brought back a strange skull from the Black Lake, saying it could help Sean.

It was a strange white bone skull. It should have been some kind of canine animal before it was alive. Its whole body showed a faint fluorescent white color, and dark red flames surged inside the sharp fangs.

The flames inside jumped into Sean's body, helping him recover faster.

Sean also took the skull away at that time, but nothing was researched, so it was left in the ring.

Today, there are several skulls that are almost the same as the one in his ring scattered in front of Sean's eyes.

Did the basilisk get its skull from here?

Sean lowered his head and looked it over carefully, confirming that it was almost the same as the one in his ring.

There was a faint fire light flickering inside the skull, which was not conspicuous in the dim lake water.

Wait... Xiao En was stunned for a moment, and then Tong Kong shrank suddenly.

The shape of this skull...

It is very similar to the wolf head on the waist of the sea monster!

And those wolf heads also spewed fire from their mouths after the sea monster woke up.

Could it be that this is the sea monster's lair, the bones left by its kind?

But why is this place occupied by mermaids and regarded as a competition venue?

No, it should be said, why did I see that sea monster, but now it disappeared without a trace?

this is so weird...

While thinking, a burly mermaid closest to Sean suddenly made a series of piercing sounds.

"Humans! Don't stay!"

Sean raised his head in surprise: "You can speak human language?"

The mermaid seemed to be the leader, and it bared its teeth at Sean: "A little, not much!"

I've heard that Professor Dumbledore can speak mermaid language, but I don't know that mermaids can speak English. Although they don't have many words, they still have a London accent...

Sean scratched his head: "Am I finished the game?"

"Of course, don't stay." The mermaid leader said again.

The completion of the second level is so unreal... Sean pointed to the bone mountain under him: "Is this your territory?"

"No, we want aquatic plants and fish, there are a lot of them! There are none here." The mermaid answers every question. Although she looks fierce, she is surprisingly easy to talk...

Sean still didn't rush to leave: "Then Professor Dumbledore asked you to guard this place?"

The mermaid nodded: "Yes, Dumbledore! He gave something, and we will come!"

This place is not the territory of the mermaids, it is temporarily used as a competition venue for the mermaids to guard... Sean nodded thoughtfully.

He continued to ask: "Then when did you come here?"

The mermaid leader looked a little impatient, but he still answered Sean's question.

"After you enter the water, we will rush over."

"Then when you came here, did you notice any strange creatures here?"

"No, there has never been anything alive here. Aquatic plants, fish, mermaids, and Grindylow will not live here." The mermaid leader replied.

Strange, the speed of the mermaids in the lake should be much faster than him. Although he used the trajectory flash to shorten the distance at first, he still swam for a long time...

Didn't the mermaids find that weird sea monster? No, to be precise, as the aborigines in the Black Lake, in their impression, there is no biological activity here.

If there are sea monsters entrenched here, they will not be unaware.

"Is there anything weird about this place itself?" Sean tried to ask.

The mermaid leader bared his teeth impatiently at him: "I'm just a mermaid!"

Sean: "..."

It seems that I can't continue to ask... However, what's interesting is that Sean found that his affinity for magical animals doesn't seem to be so useful when facing humanoid magical animals with high IQ.

This may have something to do with the communication between the mermaids and Professor Dumbledore.

Sean asked the last question: "Can I take something with me? You know, souvenirs or something..."

"Troublesome humans!" said the mermaid leader. "Except for chains and stones, everything else is fine! It's not fish and aquatic plants!"

Hearing what the other party said, Sean quickly opened the ring.

Under the shocked eyes of the mermaids, a huge tail stretched out.

The tail is extremely flexible, it stretches and curls, like a shovel, directly encircling a part of the bone mountain.

"Hey, good, here's a little more—" Sean commanded with his wand, adding a few spells from time to time.

Then ~lightnovelpub.net~ the mermaids watched as the tail rolled up a part of the bone mountain and got into the boy's ring.

They can't even sing well.

The mermaid leader was shocked: "Magic!"

Sean nodded: "Magic!"

The other party immediately put on an expression of admiration: "You are as good as old man Dumbledore, amazing!"

"It's not that it's not—"

Just as he was talking, the light from the magic spell suddenly lit up in Yuanchuan, and Xiao En shrank back. This was the signal he had agreed with Stephanie and the others after being attacked!

Without exchanging pleasantries, he grabbed the water plant mane of the horse-shaped water monster. The mermaid leader was pushed aside by the current.

Soon, Sean saw Stephanie and Daisy on the edge of the gully, guarding the front of him, and there was a dense aquatic grass area.

The water column and light driven by the spell are constantly attacking!

Bold... Sean narrowed his eyes.
