Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 829 The Sea-Parting Curse (First Update)

"You are... I know you!"

Looking at Jerry, Arthur was stunned for a moment, then immediately recognized Jerry as the magician who had been reported in the news some time ago.

Although the seaside town was remote and poor, it still had a television.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Arthur finished the beer in his glass again.

"Let's talk about whether you're interested in becoming the King of Atlantis."

Jerry snapped his fingers, and the glass of beer was refilled.

This time, Arthur didn't drink anymore. Instead, he got up, put his coat on, and turned to walk straight towards the bar.

"Excuse me, I don't know what you're talking about, and please don't disturb my peaceful life."

Seeing Arthur get up, Jerry wasn't surprised at all, and simply said:

"Your mother, Queen Atlanna, is not dead. I know where she is now."

"What did you say?!"

Arthur quickly turned around and rushed in front of Jerry, trying to grab him and pin him against the wall. But before he could even touch Jerry's clothes, Jerry had already disappeared and reappeared on the chair behind him.

"Don't get agitated. I know that your mother was sacrificed to the Trench by Atlantis because of giving birth to you. But in reality, she wasn't killed by the Trench, but was trapped in a hidden place."

"If you are willing to become the king of Atlantis, then I can take you to rescue her."

Jerry took a small sip of the best wine in the tavern, frowned slightly, placed it on the table, and then gestured for Aquaman to sit down and chat.

Seeing that Jerry didn't seem to be lying, and since he couldn't touch him, Aquaman thought for a moment and finally sat down again.

"Why do you want me to be the king of Atlantis? And how can I believe what you're saying is true!"

"That's a long story; it starts with a great battle in ancient times."

So Jerry then repeated the same things he had said to Wonder Woman to Aquaman.

After listening to Jerry's account, Aquaman looked at him with disbelief.

"So, you're saying you want me to be the king of Atlantis so you can get that Mother Box? But with your abilities, whether you ask Orm or get it yourself, it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult, does it?"

Although he wasn't the smartest person, he felt that Jerry's explanation was too far-fetched.

Jerry waved his hand:

"First, I have the ability to teleport there and steal the Mother Box, or to forcibly take it, but that doesn't align with my principles."

Second, your brother King Orm intends to rule the Seven Kingdoms and then wage war to destroy humanity. I will not negotiate with such a person.

Third, you don't need to doubt anything, because I will first take you to find your mother, then take you to obtain the golden trident symbolizing the ruler of the seven seas, and then give the Mother Box to me after you become the King of Atlantis.

Supporting Arthur as the king of Atlantis served two purposes: firstly, to peacefully retrieve the last Mother Box, and secondly, to thwart King Orm's ambition to unify the seven seas and attack humanity.

If the sea creatures of the Seven Seas and humans go to war, countless lives will inevitably be lost. Stopping this war, while not as drastic as Zod's transformation of Earth, will still require a significant number of Little Red Stars.

"In that case, I agree!"

When Jerry said he could take him to his mother first, Arthur agreed without hesitation.

For him, nothing else mattered. Finding his mother and making his father, who waited for her at the beach every day, happy was what he wanted most.

He would be willing to destroy Atlantis, let alone fight for the throne of Atlantis.

"Great, let's set off now!"

Jerry stood up, grabbed Arthur's arm, and then Apparated away from the tavern.

Jerry and Arthur appeared out of thin air in the sky above the sea near Sicily.

"Where am I? And I can't fly, can I get off first?"

"This is the territory of the Trench tribe, and also the place where your mother was sacrificed."

Jerry conjured a flying carpet and placed Arthur on it.

Since the collapse of the continent of Atlantis, the entire civilization was divided into seven, which became the seven great underwater nations.

The kingdoms of Atlantis and Zebel have retained their human appearance and evolved new abilities. In terms of technology, they have developed to the point that they are no worse than before their collapse, thanks to the use of marine resources.

The Fishermen's Kingdom, while technologically advanced, has lost its human form; its feet have become fish tails, and its faces are more like those of fish.

The Saltwater Kingdom has degenerated in the ocean, becoming a kind of deep-sea crustacean. Its technology and military strength are backward, and wars are fought entirely by hand-to-hand combat.

The Trench people have degenerated into monsters devoid of intelligence, bloodthirsty, cruel, and terrifying beings. This is no longer a kingdom; they have degenerated into monsters devoid of intelligence.

If you violate the laws of the maritime nation and are sentenced to death, you will be sent to the territory of the Trench tribe for sacrifice, where the Trench tribe will devour you alive.

The Kingdom of the Betrayer originally lived in an inland sea before the Sahara Desert was formed. Later, the sea turned into a desert, and the kingdom disappeared completely into the desert.

The Lost Kingdom, a kingdom whose whereabouts are unknown after the collapse of the continent.

"So, my mother is down here!"

Arthur was about to jump off the flying carpet when Jerry pulled him back up.

"There are countless Trench Creepers down there. If you continue like this, it won't be long before they eat you down to your bones."

"What should we do then?"

After calming down, Arthur realized that Jerry was right.

"Don't move, just sit on the blanket, I will take you to your mother."

Jerry piloted the flying carpet and flew down to the sea below, silently reciting Arthur's mother's name and using the owl positioning technique.

"Retreat immediately!"

As they approached the sea level, he pointed downwards, and a blue magical beam of light, as thick as a bucket, instantly crashed onto the ocean.

Suddenly, the entire ocean seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, forcibly splitting in two and making way for Jerry to reach the seabed.

It was the Water-Repelling Spell that Jerry hadn't used in a long time, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it the Sea-Parting Spell now.

On both sides of that passage, countless terrifying and bizarre-looking Trench creatures roared and rushed over, eager to devour Jerry and Arthur.

Unfortunately, that powerful force not only divided the sea but also prevented them from getting closer to Jerry and Arthur.

The flying carpet descended rapidly, and Arthur's lips twitched as he looked at the parted sea.

He felt that even if he became Aquaman and obtained the Golden Trident, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve what Jerry was doing now.

The power of the golden trident can quell tsunamis and control the sea, but dividing the ocean in two like this is a bit too much to ask.
