Chapter 783 Running away
It is not easy to deceive the two mermaid guards.
The structure of mermaids is different from that of humans. Their skin can feel the flow of lake water very keenly.
To put it simply, nothing Robert does can escape their perception.
After thinking about it, Robert decided to give up on deceiving the two guards and started chatting with them directly.
"Have all the warriors entered the water?" Robert casually said a string of mermaid language, which was pretty standard.
The sturdier merman was obviously duller and didn't realize that it wasn't his friend who was talking. He replied very honestly, "Yes."
His friend was smarter, and swam over in confusion, put his big face next to Robert, and asked weirdly, "Why are you awake?"
Robert knew that he had no ill intentions, but was just curious, so he carefully took out the underwater breathing potion and took a sip.
The potion was a bit fishy when he swallowed it along with some lake water.
"Tsk, it feels so bad to drink potion underwater." Robert complained, and then he greeted the mermaid opposite, "Hello, my friend, I am Robert Leslie, Hogwart Ci’s warrior assistant, it’s a pleasure to visit Mermaid Village.”
The mermaid subconsciously said hello, "I'm Nota, and by the way, the name Robert Leslie sounds a bit familiar to me."
The sturdy mermaid said gruntingly, "The twins said it. They said that Robert Leslie is their partner!"
The mermaid Nota suddenly remembered it, swam happily to Robert, and asked in a porcupine voice, "Are you really Fred George's partner? Then what do you sell?"
Robert was a little confused, hey, what kind of ecstasy soup did the twins pour into the fish? Forget about mentioning their names, can even your own name make them so excited?
With some random things in his mind, Robert chatted enthusiastically with the two mermaids.
"The second game is really interesting. It was actually chosen in our Black Lake." Mermaid Nota said happily. "There are so many magical creatures in the Black Lake that we sometimes can't recognize them all."
The sturdy mermaid nodded and said, "Yes, for example, I have never seen that snail shrimp..."
"It seems to be flowing out of the castle." The mermaid Nota likes to talk about this topic very much. "The meat is very tender, the shell is very crisp, and it is crunchy when you bite it."
Robert suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"They're just a little bit fierce." The strong mermaid rubbed her belly honestly, "I don't like them, except when I'm hungry..."
Well, this is a foodie.
"Is there any danger?" Robert was a little worried, "What if the warriors can't defeat those snails and shrimps?"
Mermaid Nota scratched his head, "There shouldn't be any problem with this. Our leader has brought many brothers to guard it, so there won't be any problem."
He seemed to have great faith in his leader.
"Okay." Robert was helpless. He didn't actually mean it like this. "I just wanted to ask if I, who wake up naturally, can find the warrior by myself and go ashore with him."
"Why?"
"ah??"
The guard mermaids were stunned. What does this mean?
"I have heard from the principal that the second game requires warriors to find their assistants underwater and return to the shore with their assistants."
Robert glanced at the mermaid, "Is that so?"
Mermaid Nota and the sturdy mermaid nodded together.
"Then it's over." Robert spread his hands, "The rules of the game don't mention that the assistants have to wait for the warriors to come, right?"
The mermaids were stunned for a moment, then all shook their heads.
"So, it's okay for me to leave now to find the Warriors, right?" Robert looked at the two fish and asked seriously.
"But..." Mermaid Nota was a little embarrassed, "We have received the mission to guard you here!"
"That means...if I defeat you, I can go find the warriors by myself?" Robert's eyes lit up, "Then what are you waiting for? Come on, let's get started! I can leave after I beat you, yes. Isn’t that right?”
The two confused mermaids were fooled by Robert and fought with him.
Not to mention, because the resistance in the water is a bit high, many spells will rush towards the two mermaids in the form of water flow after being cast.
If it were Grindylow, he might have been swept away screaming, but this was a mermaid.
First of all, they are much larger than Grindylow in size. Secondly, their perception and control of water flow are much better than Grindylow.
Before Robert's magic spell flew half a meter, they swam away.
But when the mermaid brandished a harpoon and struck straight at him, Robert felt as if everything had become an extension of the weapons in their hands.
The current entangled his hands and feet, and the stirring of mud at the bottom of the lake obscured his vision.
The looming cold light pierces directly between the eyebrows, and if you can't dodge it, you may get a bloody head.
Robert was startled, his body dwarfed, and he shrank down.
The sharp iron tool scraped against the top of his head and settled on the stone behind him. Robert exerted force on his feet and pushed away from the control of the rock.
However, another fork got stuck in the way of his escape. In desperation, Robert used the Iron Armor Curse.
The invisible barrier covered him like a bubble, which was a completely different experience from the usual use.
Of course he was not impaled by the fork, but the huge force hit him and pushed him far away.
Then the two mermaids who were still in place watched him drift further and further away.
"Nota." The sturdy mermaid watched him go away and asked blankly, "I don't seem to have used a lot of strength..."
Mermaid Nota was also confused, "Well, if he gets lost, will the leader punish us..."
The sturdy mermaid trembled, "No, I have to follow him and take a look."
As he spoke, he put away the harpoon, swung the fish's tail, and ran away far away.
Nota originally wanted to go with him, but when he looked back, he saw Hermione and others hanging on the rocks.
"Huh?" Nota spat out a bubble blankly, "Is there a witch missing here?"
He scratched his messy hair, feeling a little confused.
"This way!" Robert didn't swim out for long when he saw a hand stretching out from the thick water plants.
Robert swam over in a hurry and got into the grass.
The sturdy mermaid shouted Robert's name and swam past at high speed, bringing up large balls of grass clippings.
"Are you leaving?" Hermione's voice sounded.
"Wait a minute, let me take a look." Robert pushed aside the floating weeds and saw a mass of water flowing away.
Hermione also saw it and asked worriedly, "Would it be bad if we... did this?"
Robert shrugged, "Well... I'm ready to apologize. Well, I hope the mermaid also likes to play pranks."
Otherwise, I will definitely be hung up and whipped by the mermaid leader!
