The fishman took Hu Xiuwu and the six warriors' "treasures" deep into the Black Lake.
Surrounding the six men of Hu Xiuwu, in addition to the murloc leader holding a trident and the murloc guards with double forks, there are also a group of green-skinned murlocs with their lower bodies like squids and their upper bodies like little ones with mouths full of fangs. Grindylow of the Villain.
These grindylows are tamed pets of fishmen, and usually help fishmen protect their homes and hunt.
However, there are actually no dangerous creatures in the Black Lake. The Black Lake is farther away from Hogwarts than the Forbidden Forest. Students often walk, study, and go on dates by the Black Lake.
It is impossible for Hogwarts to allow dangerous creatures that may harm students to appear in the school lake.
In the past, these fishmen and Grindylows were already considered the overlords in the Black Lake, so the vigilance and patrol work of these Grindylows was not in place at all.
Sometimes they even take off their posts, and from time to time they dive into the seaweed to prey on small fish hiding in the swaying seaweed. They are like huskies that look like wild wolves. They look ferocious, but in fact they are not that at all.
This group of Grindylows were unreliable, but the secret medicine of the fishmen was still very useful. Except for Hu Xiuwu, the other five people were really in a coma, but they were all safe and even slept. It's sweet.
As tenants of Hogwarts, the murlocs are very cautious in treating students. If something happens to the students here, these murlocs will most likely be stewed into fish soup by Dumbledore.
There is only a 20% possibility that Dumbledore might have added chili peppers when he stewed the fish soup.
There is no light in the lake, and the deeper you go down, the deeper it becomes, as if you are constantly going deeper into the abyss. The bottom of the lake is also surrounded by reefs, just like the Gobi Desert in the northwest.
The Black Lake is called a lake, but in fact, like the Dead Sea, it does not live up to its name.
The Dead Sea is a saltwater lake, and the Black Lake is actually an excellent harbor surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one side connected to the sea. The Durmstrang people took a boat from the bottom of the Black Lake to Hogwarts.
If it hadn't been for the Muggle expulsion spell cast by wizards here, such an excellent natural dock would have been developed by the British Muggle government into a large port that handles millions of tons of cargo every day.
The fishman led them to the bottom of a deep and dark black lake. The black lake was far deeper than Hu Xiuwu imagined. The ravines at the bottom of the lake were intertwined like valleys, and swaying water plants grew on the stone walls.
Where the fish people live, in addition to various reefs and aquatic plants, there are also piles of ancient shipwrecks. The shipwrecks are stacked on top of each other to form an underwater town. The wooden shipboards and masts are covered with rainbows and barnacles.
This is also one of the food sources for the fishmen. The rainbows and barnacles growing on the boat are the fishmen's crops, just like the farmland of humans on land.
After pulling the six people into the central square of the shipwreck town, the fishmen tied the six people's ankles with the ropes they had prepared long ago, making the six people sway like seaweed on the bottom of the lake like sunken buoys. .
The leader of the murlocs sent a group of merlocs and Grindylows who were looking at each other, circling around the six people like a school of migrating fish.
There are still several hours before the start of the game. The others have really fallen into a deep sleep and cannot feel the passage of time, but Hu Xiuwu is awake. The lake is dark and monotonous, and it is difficult for him to move at will.
However, Hu Xiuwu did not feel bored, and even enjoyed it.
After entering the water, he discovered that the spiritual energy at the bottom of the black lake was surprisingly rich. The concentration of spiritual energy above the lake surface and below the lake surface were completely different concepts.
This seemingly ordinary lake has actually locked up spiritual energy. The difference in concentration of spiritual energy above and below the lake is just like the difference in air quality between Sijiu City and Zhelong Mountain. It is a world of difference.
No wonder there is still a lineage of murlocs left in Hogwarts after all the mermaids in the South China Sea have been extinct. In an aura environment with such a concentration, even a man with extensive experience like Hu Xiuwu has only seen it in his life. Been there once.
Hulu Cave at the foot of Zhelong Mountain,
The cave heaven paradise created by relying on the exotic treasure and the unique geographical environment, where you can practice with half the effort, but it is a pity that the exotic treasure, the three-legged purple toad, was swallowed by the big red snake.
Every time he mentioned this matter to Chen Duo and Hu Xiuwu, Liao Zhong still looked regretful.
Hu Xiuwu did not expect that he would encounter such a paradise for the second time. Of course, he must take this opportunity to practice well.
However, just soaking in the water for a few hours was not enough for Hu Xiuwu. It would not feel monotonous. He was now thinking about whether to spend all his time at Hogwarts soaking in the Black Lake.
Under the black lake, Hu Xiuwu was practicing peacefully.
On the Black Lake, preparations for the game were also in full swing. On the platform, warriors came to the center of the Black Lake in wooden boats one after another.
The warriors, except Harry, had all arrived early.
Cedric moved his body to warm up his body and avoid sudden cramps in the water. Fleur was still holding her wand and reviewing the head-soaking spell she had just learned a while ago, which was used to move underwater.
Viktor Krum seemed to be talking calmly to his principal Igor Karkaroff, but you know, he has never been a good talker, and he rarely talked with such a long list of people. Talk to people.
The reason why the warriors from the three schools are so nervous is actually due to some factors of Zhang Lingyu and Hu Xiuwu.
After the first competition was over, there were naturally close friends who told these warriors how the other warriors had passed the level, just like Hermione told Harry how the others had passed the level.
Zhang Lingyu defeated the fire dragon, which was naturally the focus of the story. When they heard that no one came to rescue Zhang Lingyu when he faced the Dragon Flame Pavilion, they were all frightened.
It turns out that the Ministry of Magic really refused to rescue him until he got the golden egg!
The British Ministry of Magic is serious this time!
The rest of the warriors had no interest in playing, and now Fleur and Cedric, seventeen-year-old boys who were not yet underage, really felt the oppression of death.
Obviously the second game seemed easier than the first game, but the three of them were still more nervous than before.
In other words, Mike Lucas and Zhang Lingyu are both bold and really calm.
In addition to the warriors present, there were also referees and Aurors from the Ministry of Magic on the platform, as well as Fudge, the Minister of Magic. How could he be absent from such a grand event, especially now that he and Dumbledore had a somewhat tense relationship. After being indifferent.
He also wanted to demonstrate his authority and let everyone know that he was not Dumbledore's vassal.
Kingsley had also arrived here a long time ago and quietly informed Dumbledore about Hu Xiuwu.
Listening to what Kingsley said in a slightly ashamed tone, Dumbledore felt that it was expected. After just listening to Barty Crouch tell what the treasures of the warriors designated by the Ministry of Magic were, he had some idea. Expected.
Dumbledore in turn comforted Kingsley and told him not to worry.
Dumbledore did not attach much importance to the results of the Goblet of Fire. At the same time, he also believed that Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Lingyu would not cheat during the game and ruin the sign of the Tianshi Mansion. Orientals pay attention to this, which seems to be called being free from inner demons. .
In addition, there are still people secretly playing tricks on the Goblet of Fire this time. It is not necessarily a bad thing to let a powerful Eastern wizard stay awake under the water.
The cold wind in the morning receded slightly, and Harry, with a slightly uneasy expression on his face, followed his roommate Neville and arrived in a small wooden boat.
Harry became a warrior due to conspiracy. According to the standards of the Goblet of Fire warriors, his magic level was far below the standard, so he had never learned the necessary Bubble Charm for the second test.
Although his talent is very good, he has not yet reached the level of Dumbledore and Hu Xiuwu. In just a few days, it is impossible for Harry to catch up with the witchcraft level of the other warriors, and he can only use foreign objects.
