Luke glanced at Dumbledore, who was standing next to him, and asked with some confusion.
"You know him?"
Mead on the other side showed an excited look on his face the moment he saw Dumbledore. It was like seeing some kind of savior. He finally got rid of the group of women around him. Then he walked quickly in the direction of Dumbledore.
"Long time no see, Dumbledore!"
There was a relieved smile on his face, and a hint of peace of mind.
Dumbledore stepped forward to greet him, opened his arms, and said with a smile: "It's been 30 years! It's really been a long time since I saw you."
After the hug, he quickly pulled Meade to Luke's side, and then gave Luke a wink.
Luke understood and pinched the silent ball hanging around his neck. The silent barrier unfolded invisible.
"Professor, would you like to introduce me first?"
Luke had a curious look on his face. He could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the man in front of him. He should be a mermaid. Or rather, a mermaid.
After all, the definition of mermaid in the magical world is not a fish, but a human being.
Although some mermaids don't think so.
Dumbledore looked at Meade with a look of genuine happiness on his face.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Mid-Alan. A mermaid from the Deep Sea Empire. This is the largest mermaid nation in the world and the most civilized mermaid nation. However, they do not often appear in the sight of wizards and Muggles. among."
This is not common, it refers to not only the frequency of their appearance, but also the frequency of dealings between them.
The mermaids of the Deep Sea Empire rarely have anything to do with the wizarding world. And those mermaids who don't live in the sea are secretive about the empire of the deep sea. Therefore, few people know the names of the Deep Sea Empire, let alone those who have actually dealt with it.
Luke felt quite emotional for a moment when he heard these terms that he had never heard before.
Even after coming to this world, he has seen many people and things that he has never seen in the original work, and has accumulated the knowledge of the entire Gunter family, but now he still has many things that he does not understand, many that he does not understand or even Something you don’t know.
A little bit of knowledge can never become a blinding leaf.
"This is my student, Luke Gaunt of the Gaunt family. You should be able to tell that this kid is a genius."
When Dumbledore said this, the pride on his face did not seem to be fake. As an educator now, what he should be most proud of is naturally cultivating an outstanding student.
A student like Luke is enough to make any educator proud. Although the relationship between the student's growth and their professors is indeed not very big.
Dumbledore's words were naturally recognized by Meade. He could feel that, regardless of the level of magic power, the mental power of the little boy in front of him was truly beyond ordinary people.
"Hello."
Luke stretched out his hand calmly, with a reserved and polite smile on his face.
"Hello."
Meade took Luke's hand and smiled politely in return.
To be honest, Dumbledore was obviously relieved after seeing Luke just smile politely. After all, seeing this smile, he basically knew that Luke had no intention of cheating Meade.
If Luke smiled brightly and brightly, then... he could only mourn for his friend.
"What are you doing here?" After Dumbledore was overjoyed, he naturally threw away his doubts.
I’ve never heard of Empire of the Deep. Did you know there’s a group of mermaids in the sea? It's really not that you are ignorant. If you know it, it means you are really powerful. But just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean that the person is bad.
From this point of view, we can also understand why Dumbledore has such doubts.
The mermaid of the Deep Sea Empire arrived on a human cruise ship and pretended to be
I didn’t even dare to make a big show of it. For a slightly knowledgeable person like Dumbledore, this was simply an incredible thing.
Meade was also very happy looking at this old friend whom he had not seen for a long time. He knew clearly Dumbledore's level of strength 30 years ago. Although thirty years have passed now, Dumbledore has changed from an old man to an older man. But Mead could feel it. Dumbledore's strength is probably not weaker than it was then.
May have endured years of physical and mental exertion. But this does not mean that Dumbledore's strength has also been reduced. In the wizard's combat power system, one cannot say that the older one becomes, the more evil he becomes. But the downward arc is indeed sluggish.
In other words, Dumbledore can now easily deal with the two wizards who attacked the princess.
"A girl who is very close to me was kidnapped by two wizards. The two of them are now hiding on this ship. And we don't want to appear in human affairs. So I am exploring the location of the two wizards , by the way, see if there is any way to save the girl."
Meade's face was full of helplessness and he said: "But it seems there is no good chance. If this continues, we can only wait for the rescue team from the Deep Sea Empire to arrive."
When he said this, Dumbledore and Luke exchanged glances.
They both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.
"True, but not entirely true."
Both people have their own ways of observing the authenticity of what the other person says. They could all see that Meade was telling the truth, but it was just a half-truth.
"Your friend is not very honest."
"Did you see those two wizards?"
"I saw one. As long as the other one is not Grindelwald, we can deal with it."
"That's fine."
"Oh, then maybe the two of us can help."
Dumbledore said with a slight smile. Luke also nodded on the side. The two of them certainly weren't going to sit idly by. The journey is still long, so it would be nice to have something like this to relieve the boredom.
What's more, they can see that there might be a little surprise behind this matter. After all, the Deep Sea Empire itself is something that no one has had much exposure to. This really got Luke interested.
Mermaid, I want to be a mermaid with a fairly advanced civilization. This is of great research value!
It seems that today's Luke can also leave something in his research notes in the future that his predecessors have not mentioned.
"Grateful!"
Seeing the two people who agreed to help without hesitation, Meade felt filled with emotion. There is that feeling of being helped by a friend. There is also the guilt of having deceived a friend.
This made him a little confused for a moment. However, the overall state of the person has become quite positive from being embarrassed at the beginning.
"It won't be too late. I just saw one of the two wizards. He was a skinny yellow-haired one, right?"
Luke said simply without any hesitation.
His positive attitude made Meade feel happy and even more ashamed at the same time.
But he had no intention of telling Luke and Dumbledore the princess's true identity. He and Dumbledore were just friends who had met a few times and had adventures together. Even if he thought he could trust Dumbledore with his life. But the importance of Her Royal Highness is far beyond what his humble life can compare to.
So he would not take risks or bet on the greed of Dumbledore and the child named Luke Gaunt.
That is not what wise men do.
Looking at the moved Meade, Dumbledore suddenly thought of something strange.
"Mead, why don't you just fight them? If Luke can deal with these two wizards, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to deal with them."
Of course he didn't think that Meade would be doing this kind of thing alone. Even if we don’t consider the truth behind Midner’s lies. Even if the lie is taken seriously, that kid
The son’s parents must be here too, right?
If they are not on the ship now, it means they are wary of something.
Afraid of wizards? No, those two wizards are not necessarily Meade's opponents. If the wizard's spell falls on the scales of a normal mermaid, its power will be greatly reduced. The mermaids of the Deep Sea Empire, for unknown reasons, have even greater defense power. Therefore, when the wizard faces the mermaids of the Deep Sea Empire one-on-one, if the magic power is equal, it is basically difficult to win.
Dumbledore knew this.
So...are it the ordinary humans on this ship that make them so afraid?
This information made Dumbledore feel a little surprised. Are mermaids... afraid of humans?
Luke obviously understood what Dumbledore meant, but he was not that surprised. He also knew the characteristics of mermaids. then……
"Can't your scales block the impact of those physical items?"
As he spoke, he made a gun gesture with his hand.
Meade looked at Luke's expression and nodded awkwardly: "Our scales can protect against magic, but they are indeed relatively weak against things like swords. And the human thing called a "gun" , the power it had more than a hundred years ago was not that great. "
More than a hundred years... For mermaids, such a time span is not very long, but for humans, such a time span is their generation.
There are so many things that can be accomplished in these more than a hundred years.
Luke got a positive answer and looked at Dumbledore. Dumbledore also gets a lot of time. He also has a certain understanding of Muggle things. But weapons are indeed his blind spot...
However, the mermaid's fear of Muggles still made him feel a little bit.
"So it turns out that Muggles are already regarded as powerful enemies by so many races?"
He asked himself in his mind. But I couldn't get any answer.
Meade looked at Dumbledore, whose expression suddenly changed for some unknown reason, with a confused expression.
what happened?
Bai Mao also wanted to ask this question.
In his hand he still held the food he brought back from the restaurant. It's a lot, and it's not just for the contents of the box. Also for him to eat. He wanted to sit quietly at the table and have a good meal. But when he thought about the box lying on the bed, he felt uneasy. Even if he knew very well that he had already added all the protective magic he could on that door. There are also some warning spells. Moreover, he also specially strengthened the sensitivity of warning magic. As long as someone touches the door, he will find it and stop him in time.
But even so, he still couldn't sit still, so he could only hurry back with some food, thinking of monitoring the dangerous box at all times.
But when he got really close, he saw what he saw in front of him. The spells he had set before had now been destroyed, and the door had obviously been opened.
The food in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably. The expression on his face became extremely serious.
His hand had already drawn the wand from his waist. You need to ask him if he knows who is in the room. How could he not know? If these spells were broken by violence, it would be impossible for him not to notice them.
Then there can only be someone who fully understands what he is doing, and researches one by one how to relieve it without alarming him.
In other words, this person must be quite familiar with him, and have been with him for a long time, and at least have experienced his magic spells more than once.
This means that this person can only be one person.
"Toris! You betrayed me!"
Bai Mao said fiercely at the door.
He was holding a wooden stick, with a ferocious and ferocious expression on his face.
This made some Muggles around him subconsciously stay away from him. At the same time, he looked at the man not far away who was facing a half-open door, as if facing a formidable enemy, and kept whispering.
And as time went by, more and more people gathered around.
This naturally attracted Luke's attention.
In other words, among such a boatload of Muggles, the magic power of wizards is as conspicuous as a searchlight in the dark in the eyes of those who can detect magic.
And there seemed to be something exciting on the boat that was worth seeing. At a glance from a distance, they saw the shining magic power aggregate.
It was obviously one of the wizards.
"It looks like we found our target easily."
Luke said it in a joking tone though. But in fact, there was no smile on his face. The two people around him had different expressions, but neither of them looked relaxed.
It's simple. The white-haired man looked like a formidable enemy, but they didn't see any other sources of magic power in their field of vision.
No, you can't say that.
should say.
They saw a source of magic that was constantly draining away. And this magic source has basically been lost.
This situation can only mean one thing...
"Huang Mao was killed...by whom?"
Luke asked confused.
