Chapter 384: Planting an informant can only save one person

In the black lake, as Aaron continued to dive, the light gradually became dim.

He was in a gray and hazy lake. Even with his eyesight, he could only see the scenery within more than ten meters. There was almost no sound around him, and it was so quiet that it was scary.

"Fluorescence."

White light was released from the tip of the wand, but the next moment Aaron immediately lifted the spell and quickly left the place.

Because he heard countless thin sounds of water flow, and many underwater creatures on the dark bottom of the lake could see this bright light. There was no more obvious signal than this.

Sure enough, after a while, a group of light green water monsters with horns surrounded the place where Aaron left.

They stretched out their slender claws, and their green teeth kept vibrating. They communicated briefly for a while and then dispersed in all directions.

"The Grindylow Monster." Aaron murmured to himself, then looked at the thick and outrageous water plants around him and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and turn blue.

At this time, I would like to thank Lupine, because he taught about creatures like Grindylow during his substitute teaching.

They generally like to hide in aquatic plants and feed on small fish, but they will not let go of Muggles and wizards.

And the water plants here can be seen as far as the eye can see. It is clearly the settlement of Grindylow.

"Fight or go around?"

Aaron thought for a moment and sighed helplessly, then pulled out the wand and controlled the transparent barrier to accelerate forward.

If it was normal, he would definitely choose to go around, but now he has two hostages to find, and going around would be a waste of time.

The transparent barrier advanced less than a third, and a grindylow poked out from the water plants, opened its mouth, and bit straight at Aaron with its green fangs.

boom!

Grindylow hit the barrier, and half of his green teeth were broken. He was also in unbearable pain, and he kept roaring in pain.

"It's a pity, this barrier still has a certain defensive effect." Aaron said jokingly, but soon he stopped laughing, because at least dozens of Grindylow emerged from the water plants.

Aaron smiled forcefully, and immediately accelerated his speed to rush out of the water plants.

Dozens of water monsters were chasing behind him. Aaron kept casting magic spells to stop them, but even so, his barrier was hit from time to time.

After seven or eight minutes, Aaron staggered out of the water plants.

Grindylow did not dare to leave their territory and continue the pursuit, but kept roaring at Aaron to vent their dissatisfaction.

"How arrogant!" Aaron raised his middle finger disdainfully, "If you have the guts, come out and see if I dare to kill you."

There were a few Grindylows who couldn't stand it anymore. They were known as water monsters, so even if their opponents were wizards, they couldn't be looked down upon.

This time Aaron waved his wand decisively, and several streams of water hit Grindylow at the same time, knocking them back into the water plants.

"Goodbye, no, never again."

Aaron waved his hand proudly, turned around and accelerated his dive towards the center of the lake.

He deliberately avoided the water plants on the way down, and by the time his feet were firmly stepping on the black mud at the bottom of the lake, twenty minutes had passed.

"Almost." Aaron secretly thought in his heart, and was about to take out Captain Jack's compass, but then the voice of the missing body came to his mind.

"Don't worry, eldest sister has transmitted the video of the five warriors' performance in the Black Lake to the sky above the lake. Now everyone can see what you are doing?"

"Waltfalk! She really didn't give him any chance!" Aaron cursed secretly, "But now I can only use this magic item."

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you use it, I just reminded you that someone is watching."

"I know what to do," Aaron responded, "and you have to be careful not to expose yourself."

"clear."

The two disconnected, and Aaron pretended to have a tangled and painful expression. His hands even trembled unconsciously, and then he raised the wand and pointed it at his left hand.

A small white magic circle flashed away, and a black compass appeared on his hand.

"I can still use it the last two times, but I didn't expect to use it to find someone." Aaron said bitterly, and his voice reached the ears of every audience member through the light screen.

Many people began to whisper and discuss what kind of magic item the compass in Aaron's hand was.

Bagman looked confused at the referee's table. He had never seen or heard of this compass, and he didn't know how to explain it.

But some people have already guessed the function of the compass. A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Adrian's mouth, Dumbledore's eyes shone a little, and Mad-Eye Moody's magic eye moved crazily...

"Miss Klein, does this count as cheating?" Karkaroff said with a bad look.

"Of course not." Adrian said confidently. "In the first level, Harry Potter used his wand to summon the Firebolt. What Gaius did now is essentially the same as him."

"But...this kind of magic prop is really..."

"Professor Karkaroff, if you want to say it's unfair, Gaius probably has more say than anyone else!

Don't forget, everyone else only needs to save one hostage, but he needs to save two. "

Karkaroff was immediately speechless, and he no longer had the confidence to find fault.

"Ahem! Miss Klein." Percy said awkwardly but politely, "Gaius's magic prop is really amazing. If you can..."

"What? Hand it over to the Ministry of Magic?" Adrian said playfully.

"Of course not." Percy waved his hands hurriedly, "I meant to register with the Ministry of Magic."

"Go talk to him!" Adrian said nonchalantly, "Although I am his sister, I have never forced him to do anything he didn't want to do.

Also, Mr. Weasley, I just pretend I didn't hear what you just said.

Even if you are the Minister of Magic, you can't take it for granted if you want something! "

Percy: ...

A raven in the Slytherin auditorium flashed a human light in its eyes. It was the clone of Aaron's missing body, which was entrusted to Draco's care by Aaron.

In the second game, Adrian's arrangements for Aaron were a series of tricks. Just in case, he wanted to leave an eye liner on the shore to deliver important information to him at any time.

And Animagus is the best way, even Dumbledore can't see it.

As expected, he guessed correctly. Those light curtains vividly reflected the performance of the five warriors underwater. If he thought that no one could see it and played a few trump cards, just thinking about it would make him guess correctly. People shudder.

At the bottom of the black lake, Aaron received what he heard and saw from his missing body, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone's reaction was similar to what he expected, so there was no need to worry too much about using Captain Jack's compass.

He looked at the compass in his hand and thought about his two dance partners, a fourth-year Gryffindor named Hermione Granger, and a third-year Ravenclaw named Luna Lovegood.

The compass needle rotated rapidly, then stopped and pointed steadily straight ahead.

Aaron was slightly stunned. The situation seemed to be somewhat different from what he thought. The two of them seemed to be placed in the same place, instead of being placed in completely opposite directions.

But this was also good news for him, and he immediately controlled the barrier to move forward.

Not long after, he heard a familiar singing voice.

Only one hour to find and recapture the items we took...

Following the guidance of the pointer and the song, Aaron found a ruins covered with moss and algae.

It is obviously at the bottom of the lake, but the light here is much brighter than other places.

Densely packed huge stone pillars and arches stand here, and there are many rough dwellings covered with algae below.

This is obviously the residence of mermaids, but their appearance is a little different from what Aaron thought. It can even be said to be very different.

Their skin is iron-gray, their hair is extremely loose, their eyes are brass-colored, and even their teeth are incomplete.

"All my beautiful fantasies about mermaids were destroyed in one go." Aaron secretly smacked his lips, and he couldn't help but shudder when he thought that the mermaids were among the blind dates introduced to him by his mother.

But then he thought about it, and the blind date introduced by his mother seemed completely different from these ugly mermaids. He was a real mermaid.

Just as he was thinking this, mermaids surrounded him from all directions. They held spears and pointed at the transparent barrier that enveloped Aaron.

Aaron ignored them and followed the pointer in the compass to a huge mermaid sculpture with six people firmly tied to his tail:

Harry's best friend Ron, Cedric's dance partner Qiu Zhang, a Durmstrang girl wearing a red wizard robe, is undoubtedly Krum's dance partner, a girl who looks eight or nine years old, 80% She is Fleur's unlucky sister.

Apart from that, only his dance partners Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood remained.

They all seemed to be under a petrification spell, with only the occasional small bubbles coming out of their mouths and noses.

"It seems I'm the first one to come." Aaron looked at his watch, "There are still more than twenty minutes left, which is barely enough.

No, if two people are here, it will definitely be enough. "

"You can only save one." A mermaid said hoarsely.

"One, one?"

Aaron's eyes widened in shock, and he turned to look at his two dance partners, and immediately understood the sinister intentions of his eldest sister.

Now it seems that he thought wrong from the beginning. The test for him in the second project is not a race against time, but a difficult choice.

One is an innocent girl who has been innocently implicated, and the other is a good friend who has been friends for four years. If you choose one, the other one may stay under the lake.

Maybe the referee was just joking with them, but he didn't dare to bet on such a life-threatening matter.

Adrian on the referee's bench looked at Aaron in the light screen with interest, "What I'm looking forward to next is what I'm most looking forward to. Two people can only save one, what will you choose?"
