Chapter 787 Delay

After communicating, Cedric and Harry found the possibility of getting rid of these strange creatures.

Of course, they realized early on that the real threat to them was those guys who worked tirelessly and carried heavy luggage.

The number of these guys is really small, and because their shells are very eye-catching, the two of them quickly escaped with the cooperation, leaving the crayfish far behind.

The mermaids cheered, and they were very satisfied that the little wizards could successfully escape.

The leader also nodded, and she felt a little more relieved now.

Although the reaction speed of Hogwarts' futures is a little slow, it is still okay. At least they are not fools, so there is no need to worry about them being delayed.

The female leader calmly commanded her clansmen and invited them back to the Mermaid Village to perform another scene of warriors seizing the treasure.

However, at this moment, the sound of conversation interrupted her thoughts. Looking at a man and a woman swimming in the distance, the female leader looked like she had seen a ghost.

Aren't you two hung on the mermaid stone sculpture? !

Why does it appear here? !

Not only was the mermaid leader stunned, but even Harry and Cedric looked at the two people who came together in disbelief.

"Hermione?" Harry was confused and turned to look at Robert again, "Robert?"

Harry subconsciously called out their names, and asked in disbelief, "Isn't it possible that I was bewitched by some magic? Shouldn't you..."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Bagman said that you were kidnapped by the mermaid." Cedric's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that the two people in front of him were themselves. He was even thinking about whether the mermaid's magic was Can they perfectly transform into humans?

So why do they make themselves so incomprehensible? !

It felt like Cedric, who had been mentally unstable since he met the mermaid, was about to collapse. He almost didn't say why the mermaid could be so ugly, but he still choked back.

He is a gentleman and would never say anything embarrassing.

Absolutely, not!

"We were indeed kidnapped." Robert nodded, "But I talked with the kidnappers about life and ideals, and they let me go."

Cedric was already familiar with his serious and nonsensical look, and completely ignored him. He turned to look at Hermione, and asked doubtfully, "Hermione, what's going on? It seems that the normal process of the game should be Yes, we will go to the Mermaid Village to rescue you, and then we will swim back to the shore together, although the time must have passed by now."

Hermione shrugged, "Well, it's because Principal Dumbledore's spell has expired."

Cedric looked unconvinced, "I don't believe that Principal Dumbledore's magic is so easy to unlock. Moreover, he will never cheat deliberately in this kind of competition."

Robert pouted, "Of course the professor didn't cheat. We used our own method to unlock the coma spell. I told you, as long as you hold a mint in your mouth, the effectiveness of the coma spell will be shortened."

"When did you tell me?" Cedric's eyes widened, "If I had known that you could run out on your own, I would never have come to save you!"

Robert showed a sad and angry expression, "Sed, how could you do this! We can be the best friends!"

Cedric hummed deliberately, "What are you talking about? I'm sure you took Hermione around the Mermaid Village and had a great time before you thought of coming to us!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the package behind Robert, "I'm just wondering why you took out this package. It turns out you had a plan!"

Robert was speechless.

I actually felt guilty that my parents had discovered that I was secretly having a drink with Liu Bei.

Ah, what the hell was I thinking!

I am working hard to build a good communication bridge between the wizards of Hogwarts and the mermaids of Mermaid Village!

How can there be such a thing as a guilty conscience!

Therefore, Robert clapped his backpack, raised his hand, and said domineeringly, "This is proof of the friendship between Hogwarts and Mermaid Village for generations! It is a gift from Mermaid Village to us!"

Cedric was stunned by his words and had no idea whether he was talking nonsense or telling the truth. He looked at Hermione in confusion, as if asking for help.

Hermione covered her mouth and snickered.

Harry actually believed it, and he asked with some joy, "Really? Is this a gift for us?"

Robert almost choked to death at his words.

Hermione and Cedric both laughed now.

"Why haven't you come up after so long?" Ms. Maxim sat on the referee's bench with a sullen face and displeasure.

The duration of this competition exceeded the principals' expectations. In fact, they felt that half an hour was more than enough for them to just go to the Mermaid Village to rescue the hostages, especially if all the warriors had practiced swimming in advance.

Even if there were some innocuous little tests set up in the Mermaid Village on the way, no one would be able to swim back within an hour.

However, reality was like a slap in the face to everyone, and none of the warriors and his assistants returned at the stipulated time.

Everyone began to secretly look at Principal Dumbledore. The principal endured the pain in his arm, rubbed his temples, and cheered up a little.

Slowly, with everyone watching, he walked to the edge of the black lake and said something in mermaid language.

Not long after, a mermaid emerged from the water, explained to Principal Dumbledore with a strange expression, then swung its tail and returned to the bottom of the lake.

Principal Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then returned to the stands and announced to everyone, "My friends from the mermaid tribe told me that although the warriors encountered some minor troubles, they have overcome those troubles with their intelligence and bravery. .”

There was a commotion in the auditorium. Many people felt that the referees had set the game time too short, which was why no one had returned to the shore for almost two hours.

"Although one hour will make the game full of tension, if you set a time limit that the players will never be able to achieve without considering the actual situation." Rita Skeeter looked straight at it with a smile. Principal Dumbledore, "Is this a failure of the referees to do their job?"

Principal Dumbledore ignored her, but stared at the lake with deep eyes, as if waiting for something.

Rita's expression stiffened for a moment, but she had once practiced invulnerability. Although it could only be used on the face, it was enough to deal with an old guy who didn't want to be interviewed by her.

The green quill was shaking excitedly. As a new member of the team, Quill No. 2 felt that he could definitely replace Quill No. 1 and do a good job of editing!
