The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 416 The Mermaid in the Black Lake
Only one hour to find and recover what we took...

The mermaid's singing is as memorable as their looks, and the mermaid's singing is inexplicably reassuring.

Steady, Ida swam again, faster this time.Ada couldn't wait to find the merman, find someone to rescue, and get back to shore as soon as possible.

Because of Ada's stirring, the lake water turned into dark eddies, and the singing of the mermaid became more and more clear.In the muddy lake water, a large rock appeared, with many mermaids painted on it, presumably it was a scene of mermaids hunting or expelling enemies.

...don't delay any longer, half the time has passed, lest what you seek rot here... The mermaid's song continues, and grows clearer.

Surprisingly, many rough stone dwellings appeared in the surrounding area, covered with algae.Some merfolk poked their heads out from the dark windows, and some even waited outside early with spears in their hands.

Seeing Ada's appearance, these mermaids suddenly became agitated, one by two raised their spears, slapped the lake water with their thick and powerful fish tails, and swam quickly towards Ada.

There were malicious smiles on their faces, and a high fighting spirit in their yellow eyes.They seem to have mistook Ida for one of the same kind, or the same kind that came all the way from the Caribbean Sea.

Friends come from afar, even if they are far away, they will be punished...

If Ada became exactly like the mermaid in the Black Lake, she would probably be able to fish in troubled waters and walk into the mermaid's village, but she looked like she was here to mess things up.

The mermaids in the Black Lake have iron-gray skin and long, unkempt dark green hair.The broken teeth are yellow, and around the neck are pebbles strung with thick ropes.

Their looks don't quite match their singing.

And what about Ada?Her skin is smooth and delicate, and can be broken by blowing bullets. Her long golden hair flutters with the current, and the scales on her body also reflect the shimmer.

It is in stark contrast to the mermaids here, one is in the sky and the other is underground.

The vicious mermaid was about to kill her, but Ada didn't raise her wand for a long time.She was wondering if it would be considered murder if she killed the mermaid. After all, the mermaid was officially certified.

The mermaid who rushed to the front raised his spear and was about to stab him. Ada raised his hand suddenly, and a thick jet of water hit the mermaid's chest, knocking him into the air.The mermaid flipped and flew out of the lake, flying a long distance before stopping.

The rest of the mermaids all stopped their forward movement, and they were stunned. The beautiful mermaid in front of them didn't seem to be of the same kind. She still held a magic wand in her hand. Is this a human being?

Mermaids emerged from all directions, and more and more mermaids surrounded the village.They pointed at Ada and whispered with their hands over their mouths.

Ada was also thinking about the countermeasures, whether to negotiate with these mermaids and ask them to release the hostages, or to fight a bloody road and snatch the hostages out by herself.

Ada vaguely remembered that there was an anti-terrorism unit called Ah He who seemed to be doing this, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Just as Ida was about to speak, a seven-foot-tall mermaid swam by with a long green beard and a choker made of shark teeth.

The newly-appeared mermaid seemed to be the leader of the village, and the mermaids around the entrance of the village gave way one after another.

The seven-foot-tall mermaid didn't negotiate with Ada, he just motioned for Ada to follow him, and then returned to the village first.Without hesitation, Ada also swam over, but she didn't put away her wand.

The surrounding mermaids did not attack Ada again, they put their spears on their shoulders, and still curiously looked at the beautiful "kinds" passing by them.

The more you go to the middle of the village, there are more and more stone dwellings, some of which have gardens around them, and there is a little Grindylo tied to a door.

Led by the tall mermaid, Ada came to what seemed to be a small village square, surrounded by some houses, and a large group of mermaids floated in front of the houses.

Some mermaids in the middle of the square were singing in unison, which was the singing that Ida heard in the lake outside the village.

Behind the group of mermen stands a crude statue: a mermaid carved out of boulders.On the tail of the mermaid stone statue, four people were firmly bound.

Ron, Ginny, Hermione, and a little girl who looked to be at most eight years old.That was Fleur's own sister, Gabriel, who, like her elder sister, had long silver hair.

Between Ron and Ginny, Ada didn't hesitate at all, and between the idiot brother and the little sister, there was no need to hesitate at all.But Ada really didn't expect Ginny to appear at the bottom of the lake. She even thought of Hector, but she just forgot Ginny.

Looking at the four hostages in front of her, Ada suddenly felt a little funny.

Gabriel, that was Fleur's younger sister, was naturally the one Fleur wanted to rescue; among the four hostages, Krum only knew Hermione well, so naturally he wanted to rescue Hermione.For the rest of Ron and Ginny, Ada really wanted them to change, to save Ron, the idiot brother, and leave Ginny to Harry.

Of the four warriors, Krum is the sweetheart who saves him, Ada and Fleur are the younger sister who saves him, and only Harry is the best friend who saves him.Ada didn't even know how to spit it out.

It happened that Harry also swam to the mermaid's village at this time, and appeared in the square in the center of the village amidst the attention of the mermaids.

Ada didn't expect to see Harry so soon, she thought Krum would be the second person to appear here.What Ida didn't know was that Harry was able to swim so quickly because of Myrtle's help.

Moaning Myrtle also appeared in the Black Lake, and she also pointed Harry in the direction of the mermaid village.Harry's charm, I really have nothing to say, ghosts take all.

Harry also saw Ada who arrived first, and the two nodded at each other, which was regarded as a greeting.Under Ida's speechless gaze, Harry rushed straight to Ron, then looked at Hermione beside Ron, but didn't look at Ginny on the other side.

Fortunately, Ginny is still sleeping at this moment. If she saw the scene in front of her, how sad the little girl would be!
Ada, worried about her old mother, swam to Ginny, and she found that the rope that tied the hostages was made of aquatic plants, thick and slippery, and very strong.

Ada tapped the diving watch on her wrist to Harry, motioning him to pay attention to the time.Harry, who was untying the rope, nodded to show that he understood.

Instead of trying to untie the rope like Harry did, Ida directly smashed the aquatic plant rope with her magic wand, and caught Ginny who was floating up.Ada took one last look at the busy Harry and the three remaining hostages, then led Ginny upstream without looking back.

Ada, who was floating up, never expected that not only did Harry not hurry up, but he was the last warrior to leave the village.Not to mention that Harry actually asked the mermaid to borrow a weapon in order to untie the rope, and Harry forgot that he was a wizard again.

Swimming with a person is very tiring. Fortunately, Ginny is unconscious and can't move around, otherwise it will be even more tiring.Compared with when she just entered the water, Ada is now swinging her lower limbs more vigorously, and her tail fin is also more vigorous when she slaps the lake water, and the two of them continue to float up.

The light in the lake is getting brighter and getting closer to the lake, but a group of Grindylos appeared out of nowhere.This group of dark creatures rushed over like sharks smelling blood.

Grindylow stretched out his long nails and grabbed Ginny, with pointed teeth showing in his mouth, as if he wanted to drag Ginny and Ida back to the bottom of the lake and let them sleep forever at the bottom of the lake.

"Lishen Jinxie!"

Ada's silent spell kept hitting the surrounding Grindylows, but these Grindylows were suddenly very brave, not afraid of Ada's attack at all, but became even crazier!
It can't go on like this, it's not an option to procrastinate like this, and no one knows what will come out in a while.After repelling Grindylow again, Ada let go of Ginny's hand.

In the stands on the shore, the audience waited anxiously.The audience only saw how the Warriors entered the water, and Furong who withdrew midway, and did not see the rest of the content, and an air show was broadcast live.

The audience didn't know that Ida and Ginny in the lake were in trouble, they just habitually looked at the calm lake, waiting for the first warrior to jump out of the water.

"Look at that!" Someone in the stands shouted in surprise.

The calm and waveless lake suddenly fluctuated, and then a small figure flew out of the water and landed softly on the shore of the lake not far from the stands.

Finally, after waiting for so long, someone finally came out!
