Chapter 380 The almost exposed Shenming Temple, the method of underwater breathing
·
Jing Shen Tian Si
Aaron invites his second partner onto the dance floor and swings wildly to the beat of the music.
Hermione's dancing skills are much better than Luna's, and she can dance very well without his special guidance.
The men and women on the dance floor were getting more and more excited to the rhythm of the music. Few people noticed that Aaron had changed his partner, or they didn't care.
After more than two hours, the sound of the music gradually calmed down, and they left the dance hall.
Contrary to Aaron's calm and calm demeanor, Hermione's pretty face was slightly flushed, and she kept fanning the wind with her hands.
"Aren't you hot?"
"Fortunately."
"Almost forgot, you are someone who can fight a fire dragon with your physical fitness.
How did you practice it? "
"I can't say that." Aaron shrugged, "Would you like something to drink?"
“Butter beer bar!”
Aaron subconsciously wanted to take out Abe's pocket, but soon remembered that his pet, wallet and warehouse had been rented out by the vice principal for a day, so he could only go to the drink cabinet by the wall to get two bottles.
"Thank you!" Hermione took a big sip after taking it, feeling much better. "Have you solved the clue in the golden egg?"
"Untied, I know more than anyone, but you don't want to know.
When you get back, you tell Harry that the second task is impossible with a broom, and that he'd better get ready, or..."
"What else?" Hermione asked curiously.
"I almost forgot, this competition is not allowed to abstain." Aaron chuckled and said, "I can only say that the later the delay, the harder it is to pass the second event."
Hermione couldn't help frowning slightly. After passing the first project, Harry's golden egg has been eating ashes in the dormitory, and he hasn't tried to crack the golden egg until now.
"By the way, everyone else has unlocked the clues to the golden egg, and they have already started preparations."
"What about you? How are you getting ready?"
"It must be more than others." Aaron said, but secretly added in his heart: But after today, I don't know.
"Harry he..."
"Go ask Cedric!" Aaron said very bluntly, "Harry told Digory the clue of the first project, and he should be given a chance to reciprocate."
"I'm afraid not." Hermione looked puzzled, turned her head to look at Cedric and Qiu Zhang who were dancing, and said in a low voice, "I think the last person Harry wants to see right now is Digory."
"I want to save face and suffer." Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Continued: After the golden egg is opened, there will be an unusually piercing sound. It is a special singing sound that can only be heard clearly in water.
That's all I can say, and the rest of the riddles are up to him to guess. "
"It's probably not just him." Hermione pointed out that at least she and Ron would definitely help Harry.
"Then I can't handle it."
......
Back in the common room, Aaron transmitted the memory of tonight with the missing body in the dormitory.
"What do you want me to do?" Si Nianti said helplessly, "Elder sister's move is not an ordinary trick, Chi Guoguo's conspiracy!"
"Hey! Captain Jack's compass must be taken out, that's the best way to break the situation."
"I don't deny that with the help of that compass, you can indeed find two people in the shortest time.
But after that, if this magic item is exposed..."
"Let's take a step at a time!" Aaron said thoughtfully, "The good news is that only we know the true function of the compass, and maybe we can work on it.
A magic item that can point to people's thoughts has great appeal to everyone, but it is another matter if this magic item has some restrictions. "
"Understood." Si Nianti clapped his hands, "I will make up the story, and you will act in the play, making sure it is smooth enough to leave no flaws."
......
The Christmas ball let all the teachers and students of the school and even the guests of other wizarding schools vent their excess energy. After that, Hogwarts Castle fell silent, and the students began to work hard on their homework.
After Harry knew how to decipher the clues of the golden egg, he stayed up all night excitedly.
In order to keep it secret, he asked the prefect the next day for the password of the prefect's bathroom, and carefully walked in alone with the golden egg in his arms.
Turn on all the faucets and fill the bath with hot water.
Harry took a deep breath, squatted in the water and opened the golden egg.
Sure enough, there was no sharp and piercing sound, replaced by a short ballad...
"Did you hear?"
puff!
Harry was startled, stood up quickly from the water, and choked for a while.
"Myrtle? Why are you here?"
"Come along the pipe." Myrtle said bitterly, "You haven't seen me for a long time, especially after Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was blocked."
"It was the girls' bathroom, we weren't supposed to be in it.
Wait, you said the Slytherin chamber was blocked? "
"Yeah! It's been blocked for a long time, maybe last year or the year before last." Myrtle said nonchalantly. The wall got in the way."
"Maybe Dumbledore did it!" Harry mused, "He is the headmaster, shouldn't it be natural to seal the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?"
"I always feel that this is a bit sudden." Myrtle said unhappily, "The entrance to the secret room is in my bathroom, but I didn't realize it at all."
"It's not surprising." Harry smiled nonchalantly, "The White Demon King's mana is not so powerful, maybe when you happened to be wandering outside, he waved his wand and sealed the secret room .”
"But he didn't discuss it with me."
"He is the principal. Your bathroom, including the secret room, is the property of Hogwarts. There is no need to discuss it with you!"
"maybe!"
Aaron didn't know that his Shenming Temple was almost exposed during the conversation between the two. Fortunately, Harry's brain power was enough to erase the last flaw very smoothly.
"Can you figure out the clues in this egg?"
"If you can't make a sound on the ground, it's underwater." Harry said slowly, "But what's underwater? Giant squid?"
"There's a lot of variety?" said Myrtle. "All kinds of...fish, for example, they don't have a good voice."
"Fish?" Harry gradually shifted his gaze to the wall, where there was a picture of a mermaid sleeping soundly.
"A mermaid?"
"It took you much less time than Cedric," Myrtle admired. "The mermaid was still awake, showing off her fins, but he didn't notice."
Harry immediately became excited, "So the second project is to find the mermaid in the lake?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the excitement on his face disappeared.
The clue is found, but the problem is that he can't swim!
The Black Lake is not so deep. A mermaid will never live in shallow water, which means he has to dive into deep water, or even the bottom of the lake.
The ballad said that there was an hour to find the beloved that was taken away by the mermaid, which meant staying underwater for at least an hour, which was simply impossible for him.
Harry left the prefect's bathroom in a state of anxiety, not to mention the beloved thing that was taken away, just breathing underwater was enough to give him a headache for a long time.
After returning to the common room, he shared the clues he got with Ron and Hermione.
"No wonder Aaron said to solve the clues sooner. If I know this later, I will be finished." Harry said with a sad face, "Can you make me breathe underwater for an hour?"
"Uh... there is no such spell in the books I've read so far." Hermione said, "Obviously this is a spell that can only be mastered by senior students, or that few people in senior grades can master it."
"Beautiful, a heavy blow to my self-confidence."
"Why don't you try scuba!" Ron suggested, "It's a Muggle underwater breathing device.
Don't you know the summoning spell?Buy a set in advance and put it outside the arena. "
"Uh... isn't this idea a bit..."
"It's too unreliable." Hermione said speechlessly, "Scuba lungs are not something you can just buy, you need special training, and Harry doesn't have that much time to study.
And operating that set of devices is no easier than magic. It is impossible to find things at the bottom of the lake within an hour.
The most important thing is that in the wizard's Triwizard Tournament, you take a set of Muggle tools, and the audience present can drown Harry with spit. "
Harry shivered suddenly, "Change another method! This move is too risky."
"At least it can save your life." Ron said reluctantly.
"That's not necessarily true." Hermione retorted, "There are many kinds of creatures in the Black Lake, and many of them are aggressive. It's not convenient to use a wand with that set of equipment."
"What about Transfiguration?" Harry said in a low voice, "Turn me into a fish or a frog like Little Skystar, so that I can dive underwater."
"Impossible, it will take several years to learn the Animagus!
And you have to register with the Misuse of Magic Office, and you don't have that much time. "
"Then what do you think we should do?" Ron said listlessly, "You can't shout on the lake to ask the mermaid to return the things that were taken away?"
Hermione was silent for a moment and said, "Look in the library! There must be a way for him to breathe underwater."
"Why is it a library again? I think it's better to buy scuba!
Hermione, there may be other shortcuts, as long as you go..."
"Absolutely not." Hermione gave Ron a hard look, "This is a Triwizard Tournament, not a game.
He told me the way to untie the golden egg is already doing his best, if you don't want him to help Harry find something, forget it. "
"I just said that casually, the reaction doesn't need to be so big." Ron said embarrassingly.
"Let's go to the library!" Harry sighed. "There is at least a month to go. It's not too late to ask him for help when we really have nothing to do."
Hermione's dancing skills are much better than Luna's, and she can dance very well without his special guidance.
The men and women on the dance floor were getting more and more excited to the rhythm of the music. Few people noticed that Aaron had changed his partner, or they didn't care.
