The basilisk shook its head and didn't care what kind of garbage was being burned.
It opened the door to let Noah come up and greeted Keya: [Want to go hunting together? But there may not be any big game around here. 】
In the past two years, almost all the animals around here have been plagued by the basilisk. But in fact, Noah added a "feeding machine" not long after the basilisk moved in, which can absorb magic power on its own and condense it into something suitable for them to eat. Although the crystallization of magic power is not as pure as the one condensed by Noah himself, it is also a favorite food of the basilisk. Even in order to prevent it from being insufficient, Noah also added an absorption mode of sunlight and moonlight energy.
But... this can't stop the basilisk from causing trouble to the innocent animals outside.
And I don’t know if it’s because there are too many ordinary animals that are plagued by snake monsters, or because of the special attraction between magical creatures. Noah found that there seemed to be many traces of magical creatures in the wetland forest outside, but because of the snakes It's strange that they don't come close to the castle area.
But aren’t there still small animals that are causing trouble for Koya? !
Noah: “…”
[We can only play for one night, we have to go back before dawn. ] Noah chose to compromise.
【Great! ] Keya happily followed the basilisk and left.
…
The sky was bright, and the first ray of light that shone into the mansion hit the corridor.
The house elf opened the door and looked into the dark basement hesitantly: "...little lady?"
"Well," a response came from inside so softly that it was almost inaudible, "I'll be out in a while."
The house elf shook: "Okay, okay, I'll prepare breakfast for you."
He kept the basement door open and left. Then the corridor fell into silence once again.
After a long time, footsteps came from the basement stairs. Eve covered her eyes with one hand and stepped into the bright corridor. Another night has passed.
She glanced down at her hand. Black veins like blood vessels filled her wrist, with a faint tendency to spread to her palm.
It's time to take medicine. But let's go have breakfast first, otherwise we will be hungry for another day.
When she finished her breakfast and returned to the room with a tight black bottle, she found that the magic mirror she had casually placed on the table was shining with a faint light. She stepped forward and picked up the magic mirror, and saw circles of water-like lines swaying on it, and then a line of words appeared.
[The Horcrux has been destroyed. ] In the lower right corner of the mirror, a little man wearing a black hat lowered the brim of his hood and slowly disappeared together with the line of writing.
The magic mirror fell on the table, making a crisp and sudden bang. Eve sat on the bed. Because she didn't draw the curtains, her room was still dark.
For a long time, thin laughter came from the room. It seemed that she was trying her best to suppress it, but some sharp sounds still leaked out. After a long while, a strong and unspeakable smell spread in the room, followed by the sounds of swallowing or retching. After everything calmed down, a magic spell lit up, and Eve finally fell into sleep with exhaustion and joy. m.
…
The Christmas holiday is not too long and passes quickly. Today is the day when school starts again.
Noah's parents waved, took out their wands and stretched them forward.
A bus suddenly appeared in front of him, and the door opened: "Please come to class, little wizard."
Noah got on the bus and glanced around the bus. Today was the first day of school, so there were quite a few little wizards. After Noah got on the bus, many people took the initiative to say hello to him. Surprisingly, Eve was also in the car.
She waved to Noah, indicating that he could sit over.
"It's rare to see you getting on the bus at this time." Noah sat down in the aisle seat she gave up, "Good morning."
"Good morning," Eve seemed to be in a good mood, "The sunshine is very nice today. I didn't close the curtains last night, so I had to get up early."
But in the past, she never came to school too early because her adoptive father always liked to talk useless nonsense. Eve left the house early today because she really didn't have the patience to listen to the abuse that would only make people feel bad.
"The weather has been good these days." Noah nodded, "There will be sunshine until the day after tomorrow."
"I hope it's good weather when you play."
"Actually, it doesn't matter." Noah felt that the weather would not affect anything. "If the competition is underwater, it doesn't matter whether it rains or not."
"That's right." Eve nodded.
So the prophecy came true, and it rained lightly on the morning of the competition.
The auditorium was moved to the pier of the Black Lake. This was originally a pier prepared for the first-year wizards to visit the lake. Today it was used as the starting point for the warriors. The auditorium was already packed, the referee's table was in place, and Noah, Fleur, and Viktor were all standing by the dock.
Noah glanced at the direction of the crowd, and as expected, he didn't find Eve. He couldn't help but sigh, regretting why he didn't stay with those noisy guys in the first place.
Mr. Bagman still came over to explain the rules of the game to them.
Basically, he blows the whistle, and all the warriors can immediately enter the water and retrieve the things that were kidnapped by the mermaid. The time is one hour. Yes, at this time he did not directly explain what was taken away.
Noah looked at the two warriors who were some distance away from him. Because he was first in the last competition, he stood on the far left. In the middle was Victor, who had changed. I put on my swimming trunks, took out my wand, and got ready.
Fleur was still wearing her robe, but she was already accumulating energy to prepare magic, so her mouth kept moving and reciting incantations.
Soon the whistle sounded, and Victor was the first to jump into the water.
Fleur immediately released the spell she had prepared, and a bubble appeared above her head, completely enveloping her head. Then she quickly jumped into the water.
In comparison, Noah didn't seem to be in a hurry. After both of them were in the water, he slowly jumped into the water without any preparation. But the moment he fell into the water, there was an invisible force that isolated the water around him. As soon as we entered the water, the beautiful singing sounded to our ears.
【Only one hour,
To find and regain the objects we took...]
This song is vague, but it has a wonderful feeling that makes people feel comfortable all over, and it also guides the way forward for the warriors. But there are more than just mermaids in this black lake.
Fish swam past Noah, and dense seaweed was floating with the water waves in the deeper places. There was nothing dangerous for the time being. After all, it was only a shallow layer now. He might encounter more when he dived deeper. to some large water monsters.
Some people died, but not completely...
