Chapter 194 The Secret in the Sea
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
The sea is mysterious.
The same is true even for wizards who seem to be in heaven and earth.Even compared to ordinary people, wizards, who have a magical physique, will face an ocean that is very different from ordinary people once they enter the sea.
The mutual attraction between magic and magic will make them meet those magical animals in the ocean.The possibility of encountering a normal human diving is not high.But there is a high probability that wizards will encounter these dangerous and mysterious sea beasts.
To be honest, even Luke, who is very interested in magical animals, is not looking forward to having an encounter with magical marine animals during this trip.
Or……
"It's best not to have this happen, Professor..."
Luke leaned on the railing, looked helplessly at the fire, and told him how many mysterious and magical creatures there were in the ocean, and even said "this is a virgin land that Newt hasn't explored deeply".
"Although I don't know why, the desire of wizards to explore the deep sea is so low that they have never even heard of a decent deep diving magic item." Luke's face was a little puzzled, but his attitude was still Very determined, "But we are now on a Muggle boat. This kind of boat can withstand wind and waves, but it really can't withstand the destruction of those magical animals."
If it was a small boat, then the giant horse-shaped water monster living in the black lake would be enough to capsize the boat.The boat they made now is certainly not a small boat.But their location is no longer a small pool like the Black Lake.Here is the sea!Every black lake can give birth to a giant horse-shaped water monster.So what shape will the magical animal in the sea be?
Luke couldn't even think about it.After all, according to the family's anecdotes and anecdotes.The Nordic Siren, Kraken, is not a simple legend of human sailors...it is a real magical animal living in the deep sea of Nordic,
It has lived for many years. As for the specific number of years, Luke can't tell, and he doesn't know whether it is just one or a group.
The ancestor did not study it carefully.He just saw it.
The ocean isn't just a mystery to Muggles.For wizards it is even more mysterious.
"I know that Professor, you can take me out of here easily, but you can't take everyone on this ship away... that would be too troublesome, although you must be very skilled in forgetting nothing. "
Luke had no doubts about Dumbledore's proficiency in forgetting everything.Even if you run away from Dumbledore's own talent.Forgetting nothing can be regarded as a common spell for not very honest people like them.If the proficiency of this trick is too low, he will not be able to deal with so many troubles alone.
Thinking of this, Luke suddenly thought of another thing...
"Professor," Luke suddenly looked at Dumbledore with some surprise, "Can I ask you a question?"
"What question do you want to ask, and still be so polite to me?"
He didn't know what Luke was going to ask, but Luke's tone did arouse Dumbledore's interest.
You know, after Luke got acquainted with him, he no longer had the respect that a student should have for a teacher.He also understood it.This kid is indeed born rebellious.At least for these existing authority figures, there are really not many people who can gain his respect.
Luke organized his language, and then asked: "It's just... how do you think about the position of 'Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts'?"
He was genuinely curious... what Dumbledore thought of this position.In the previous years, although the professor in this position changed every year.But there are not too many people who died and except for major accidents.
It's only about [-]%... well, that's an exaggeration.
But you must know that after Harry entered school, in the past seven years, few Defense Against the Dark Arts professors...had a good end.Leaving aside, let’s talk about the previous Professor Quirrell.Did he really want to invite Voldemort, whom Professor Quirrell had brought?Or was Professor Quirrell recruited because of Voldemort?
From the point of view of time, Luke thinks it should be the former.
In other words, Dumbledore's recruitment may not have been malicious at first.But after discovering that something was wrong with Quirrell, there was indeed malice.
What made him more concerned was the next Defense Against the Dark Arts professor...
Seeing Dumbledore's slightly complicated expression, he changed the question.
"Well, it's fine if you don't want to say this question. I'll ask another question..."
He looked at Dumbledore intently.
"What do you think of Gilderoy Lockhart?"
Gilderoy Lockhart, a Ravenclaw student who was well-known in school but had mixed reputations.He boasted that he would make a Philosopher's Stone before graduating, captain England to the Quidditch World Cup, and become Britain's youngest Minister for Magic.These are the three most memorable of the leathers he played during his school days.
Of course, judging from the current situation, he has not accomplished any of them.
This is understandable.After all, not everyone can live up to their childhood dreams.
If you can turn every bullshit that you and your parents bragged into reality, then congratulations, you really succeeded.
But even without completing these leathers, Lockhart can now be regarded as a man of the hour in the British wizarding world.
But... Is Lockhart really a pearl blocked by dust, or a simple waste rock? As the principal, Dumbledore really doesn't know?
Dumbledore looked at his suspicious eyes, and the complexity on his face finally turned into helplessness.He shook his head and said to Luke, "Luke, I am not omniscient, nor am I omnipotent."
Luke fell silent.What Dumbledore said was actually within his expectations.After all, Dumbledore is not a god, and they all know that.If Dumbledore is really a god, then he doesn't need to train Harry, and he doesn't need to care about Luke now.
When he began to seriously train his successors, and when he showed powerlessness about some things, it meant that Dumbledore was really old.
Dumbledore still cared about his students.Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen his trusted Remus Lupine as Lockhart's next term, and after that, he chose Mad-Eye Moody as the professor.
These two are people he can truly trust.Are you saying that he really doesn't want the person in this position to be a capable person?of course not.But the ancient curse left by Voldemort made it impossible for him to undo it.
No matter how careful he is, those professors will have to face countless unexpected situations after all.None of these things Dumbledore wanted to happen.But it is unavoidable.
Of course he wants his students to study well.He couldn't be more aware of the importance of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"From what you say, Lockhart seems to have a lot of problems?" Dumbledore looked at Luke and said seriously, "I can indeed see that there is something wrong with Lockhart's books. But there is no evidence after all."
If he wants to investigate, he can indeed investigate.Those experiences were very real, and a well-informed man like Dumbledore could tell the truth of the story.
And some of the stories were familiar to him.It seems to be the personal experience of some old friends back then.But when he contacted his old friend, the response he got was that there was no such thing at all.
This made him somewhat puzzled.But he couldn't figure it out, so he chose to recruit the student back then.If it is really capable, that is a good thing.If you don't have the skills...
Luke shook his head and said: "There is no evidence. I have nothing to look for. But the information I have is first, the source of his stories may not be very clean."
He did not specifically investigate the evidence at the time.
What's the difference between him having nothing to do and a clown like Lockhart!
And regarding this matter, he already has a very suitable candidate for investigation...
They will absolutely say yes!He was quite sure of this.
While the two were chatting happily, Luke, who was lying on the railing, suddenly felt the boat tremble.He didn't care, because there were too many possibilities for a little trembling.If he became suspicious because of this, then Luke would really be a worrying person.
........................
Under the deep sea, directly below the ship, a big ball swimming out of various fish stays here strangely.Those carnivorous fish stay with their prey without any disputes.They seem so harmonious at the moment.
And inside this big ball, there are three figures who are erupting into a fierce quarrel.
The upper body of these three figures is human and the lower body is fish.It is the familiar mermaid.Among the three figures, the most striking is a female mermaid.
She has long black hair, and there are various decorations on her long hair, such as shells and pearls.Good-looking, with a proud bust.And his lower body has a slender, graceful fishtail, covered with rose-red scales, glowing brightly.
But her complexion is not pretty now.She looked at the male mermaid on her left, whose lower body was covered with pitch-black fish scales.
"Eros, why are we doing it now!"
The male mermaid named Eros looked calm, glanced at her and said: "We are going to deal with those two guys now, we can only die."
"Cowardly fellow!" The female mermaid's expression became even uglier.He let out an angry growl at the male mermaid.
On the other hand, the male mermaid with a light blue tail and a slightly ordinary appearance comforted him: "Face, calm down, we all know that if Her Royal Highness has no way to escape, then it's just a matter of us rushing up." Useless."
Faith gave the man a vicious look, but she didn't say anything to refute.
The man looked at Eros again, and he asked seriously: "So, Eros, when will our people arrive."
When he spoke, Eros also restrained the ugly expression on his face.Seriously said: "We sent a message as soon as we found the princess. The people we sent should be a small team. In this case, they should still have half a day."
"Then we will find a way to drag the boat as much as possible."
The man said seriously: "Create as much trouble as possible for this ship..."
"The three of us can't do it."
Eros interrupted mercilessly.He said with a serious face: "Now they are not those ships of the past. If we want to shake this ship, then we have to dispatch an army."
"Carson...times have changed. It is now difficult for us to fight against human ships without large sea beasts."
When he said this, Eros's face was full of disappointment.Back then, when he was still young, whenever a human ship passed by their waters, he would come and deliver food to them.
When the female mermaid showed her face on the reef, or jumped out of the water by herself, the humans would quickly approach and fall into the traps they had prepared in advance.And this only needs a small team of mermaids to do it.
But it's different now.The power of human guns has been greatly different from before.The scale armor, which was indestructible in the face of scimitars and lead bullets, no longer seemed so invincible.A small team can no longer deal with the sailors of a ship.
A slightly larger fishing boat will not work...
Compared with the self-proclaimed wizards, they gradually understand the power of human beings in the confrontation with human beings again and again.So much so that now they rarely actively appear in front of human beings.
They already knew that they were a weak race compared to wizards before.And now, compared to humans without magic power, they are already a weak race.
"The Deep Sea Empire is no longer as strong as it used to be."
When Eros said this, his eyes were full of disappointment.But there was no way, he couldn't think of how to change this situation.
This is not something he should think about.
"But even so, we can't just give up." The male mermaid said calmly.
"At least we have to get on the boat to see where the princess is. As you said, we can't ask the team to look for the princess with great fanfare when the team comes. As a result, the other party may escape again .Secondly, we are indeed not safe."
Once caught by humans, their world is not safe...
The madness of human beings, after contact again and again, they already have a basic understanding.
This is an increasingly insane race.They seem to be getting more and more crazy.
The Deep Sea Empire really doesn't want to have anything to do with this race.
Better never meet again!
The same is true even for wizards who seem to be in heaven and earth.Even compared to ordinary people, wizards, who have a magical physique, will face an ocean that is very different from ordinary people once they enter the sea.
