The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 925
At noon on Sunday, the weather was fine and the sun was high, making it suitable for visiting the lake.

After Albert was ready, he took Fred, George, and Lee Jordan out of the castle, walked across the wet field, and walked towards the Black Lake.

Several people avoided the berth of Durmstrang's big boat and came to the place they had found in advance to go down to the lake.

According to the original plan, Albert intends to go deep into the Black Lake to investigate and set foot on the spot today, and by the way, test the plan prepared a while ago to prevent unnecessary accidents during the second project.

A gust of cold wind blew from the lake, making the four people who had just arrived by the lake shiver.

"Are you really planning to set foot on the lake in this ghostly weather?" Lee Jordan turned his head stiffly and said to Albert who had begun to take off his robe: "Or, let's forget it this time, and wait for the temperature to warm up before going down." lake."

"I have to go to the lake anyway, at least I can't escape." Albert stared at the black lake in front of him. He knew that Lee Jordan didn't want to go, so he didn't force him. Make preparations so as not to be in a hurry during the game.”

With that said, Albert turned his head and said to Lee Jordan: "If you don't want to go down, just stay on the shore and help take care of things. Anyway, we will definitely need someone to take care of us when we come back."

"Okay, I'll prepare hot drinks for you." Lee Jordan seemed to be waiting for these words, with a look of amnesty, causing Fred and George next to him to cast contemptuous glances at him.

The guy eventually gave up.

Don't you just can't swim?

Do you still need to worry about swimming if you have the bubble head spell?
"Really cold."

Albert took off his robe, leaving only his close-fitting clothes. This clothes is very similar to a Muggle diving suit and has a good thermal effect, but in this kind of weather, I still feel that it is not very reliable.

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan whistled together, stretched out their hands and squeezed Albert's shoulder and said, "If a girl sees you like this, she will scream obsessively, what an enviable figure .”

Albert's figure is indeed very well-proportioned, and he looks very strong, which has something to do with his previous training.

"Exercise yourself, so you don't have to envy me." Albert began to stretch his body to avoid cramps after entering the water.

"I think it's silly to run like that," grumbled Fred.

"So, you can only envy me." Albert shrugged and brought the question back to the topic, "You guys also go to prepare, I'll go down and test whether the first set of plans is feasible, if not, I can only use the backup plan gone."

"Why not just use the second plan?" Lee Jordan felt that it would be more reliable to use underwater breathing agents.

"Most warriors use the first plan. I think we need to test the feasibility of this plan first." Albert waved his wand and put on the magic for keeping warm. This is a variant of the drying spell, which can make clothes dry Continuously keep warm and dry, combined with the Water and Fire Invasion Curse, it can play a very good heat preservation effect.

After putting the head-soaking spell on himself, Albert walked directly into the lake by stepping on the sand and smooth, sticky stones.There is a heart-warming chill on the skin that touches the lake water, and this is still under the condition of casting a warming spell.

It's terrible, the temperature of this lake is terribly low.

Albert admired Krum very much now, that guy actually jumped into the lake to swim in a pair of swimming trunks, and it was the coldest month of winter.

What a warrior!
To be honest, Albert was very curious, except for Harry Potter, the guy who used the gill grass, how did the other warriors resist the coldness of the lake?
This low temperature is no joke.

Perhaps, the miraculous healing effect of magic makes the wizard's endurance limit in some aspects much higher than that of Muggles, but it does not mean that wizards' physical fitness and various physical data are better than Muggles.

Albert threw away other thoughts and plunged into the bottom of the lake. Instead of rushing towards the lake, he opened his eyes and looked around, looking for the whereabouts of the crying myrtle. They agreed to meet here.

"Are you looking for me?"

The weeping Myrtle appeared in front of Albert at some point, and looked at Albert's funny attire with a smile.

"Next, please lead the way."

Albert got out of the lake, smiled and said to the crying Myrtle, but his smile looked very funny because of the bubble head curse.

"Shall we go now?" Moaning Myrtle approached.

"You stay here for a while, I'll ask them to come down, and change the bubble head curse by the way!" Albert swam back to the shore, and after lifting the bubble head curse, he greeted several people: "I found Myrtle, you guys Get ready too!"

Fred and George had already changed into the same style of clothes, and put a special pill into their mouths, which contained underwater breathing agents, as long as they bit it open and swallowed the drugs inside, they would be able to breathe in a short time. Gaining the ability to breathe underwater within a short period of time is the safety guarantee Albert prepared for everyone.

After giving themselves a whole set of magic of the same type as Albert, the two threw the simple underwater booster to Albert by the lake.

This thing is a rough toy designed by Albert himself. It can be easily obtained through the Transformation Charm. It mainly generates thrust by magically rotating the fan blades. The underwater speed should not be fast, but it is very suitable for providing auxiliary power.

As for whether it is practical or not, you need to use it to know.

"Remember to prepare hot drinks for us."

After Fred and George greeted Lee Jordan, they followed Albert into the water. They quickly enjoyed the icy lake water of the same type as Albert, and couldn't help but gasped.

"Well, lead the way," said Albert to the weeping Myrtle.

"What is this?"

Weeping Myrtle looked curiously at what Albert was holding in his hand.

"Underwater thrusters, wizards are destined to not swim fast in the lake, so using this thing can move faster." Albert picked up the rope, picked up the wand at the other end of the rope, and tapped the underwater thruster lightly, allowing The two blades began to rotate at a constant speed.

"lets go!"

Under the action of underwater thrusters, the three of them headed towards the center of the lake.

They don't need to swim at all, they just need to slightly adjust the direction of the underwater propeller, and they can easily follow the team and move towards the bottom of the lake.

After going deep into the bottom of the lake, the surrounding vision became a bit bad.

However, Albert had already made preparations. There was something like a flashlight in front of the underwater thruster, with a blue flame burning inside, which could dispel the darkness ahead and provide partial vision by the way.

The twilight of the flames had gathered a school of small fish, and Fred was reaching out to tease them curiously.

"Don't make trouble, just keep up."

George reached out and patted Fred on the shoulder, motioning him to follow quickly before he was left alone.

"The lake is actually not that big, but it's easier to get lost." The crying Myrtle surrounded Albert and introduced enthusiastically, "If you continue to go deeper, you will encounter a jungle composed of aquatic plants in front of you. There will be some Not very friendly guy. If you go in directly, you will not only be easily attacked, but also easy to get lost. I suggest going around, although it may take a long way, but it will definitely be much faster than entering the water and grass jungle."

"We're going to find the mermaid's village."

Albert waved his wand, conjured words, and made them sound, which was used to communicate with Moaning Myrtle.

Both Fred and George were amazed by Albert's methods, they didn't expect to be able to do this. How did this happen?
Albert didn't care about the surprised eyes of the Weasley brothers, but was thinking about how to accurately locate the mermaid village so that it would be easier to find the specific location for the second project.

To be honest, Albert suspects that the mermaid's village is hidden in a certain aquatic forest.

With the speed of the underwater booster, it takes a little more time to find the mermaid village, but everyone's swimming speed is not fast, so it must take a lot of effort to swim to the mermaid village, at least in half a year. It can be found within an hour, and the distance must not be too far, about fifteen hundred feet or so.

"follow me."

Weeping Myrtle took the three of them to the bottom of the lake, away from the jungle of tangled black water plants, and found a suspected giant squid during the process.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally came to a place that looked like a mermaid village. In their field of vision, there were many stone houses piled up with rough stones, and there were large patches of algae on them.

"Here we are, this is the mermaid's village."

The weeping Myrtle looked around, as if she was afraid of something, she shrank directly behind Albert.

"It seems that our luck is good, and the time is faster than expected." Albert murmured, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and noticed something swimming around.

The arrival of three people and one ghost obviously disturbed the tranquility of this small mermaid village, and the mermaids also obviously noticed this group of uninvited guests.

Albert signaled Fred and George to move closer to him, because several mermaids with spears surrounded them, and one of them took out a conch horn and blew it. The low voice spread in the small village , and soon got a lot of responses.

"We don't seem to be welcome." Fred looked at the iron-gray mermaid holding a spear, and couldn't help but clenched his wand tightly. He felt that it was definitely not a good idea to have a conflict here, as the mermaid's home field was in the water.

"I think we'd better get out of here." George watched more and more mermaids pouring out of the village, and reached out to touch Albert uneasily, wanting him to leave.

"They don't like strangers approaching their village very much." The crying Myrtle poked her head out from behind Albert and said, "I accidentally approached them last time, and they drove them away with spears."

Fortunately, the mermaids didn't attack the three of them, but pointed around them, seeming to be discussing their appearance and attire, and didn't know what they were whispering.

"They shouldn't be malicious, otherwise they must have thrown spears at us." Albert looked at the group of mermaids in front of him and tried to negotiate with them. He knew that mermaids could understand human language and could speak in water. Human words.

"I am a Hogwarts warrior, and the golden egg guided me here." Albert waved his wand to form a text and let it make a sound.

The mermaids were briefly confused, probably because they were curious about how this group of people spoke in the water.

"We have no malice towards you, we will leave here immediately."

The merfolk must have known about the Triwizard Tournament, at least Dumbledore would have mentioned it to the merfolk.After all, the mermaid under the Black Lake is also part of the second project, and the golden egg used by the warrior was completed with the help of the mermaid.

"Leave Hogwarts warriors here, the second project hasn't started yet." A mermaid with a long green beard, green hair, and wearing a short necklace made of shark teeth swam out from among the many mermaids and said in a hoarse voice. , "We will not hurt you, come with me, and I will take you out of here."

Yes, Albert could feel that the mermaids were not hostile towards them, it was more curiosity that so many mermaids surrounded them.

The three of them were surrounded, like monkeys in a zoo, being pointed at by a group of mermaids who had barely seen a wizard.

After the famous mermaid stood up, the mermaid group made way for them to leave.

"I thought they would warmly invite us in as guests." Fred muttered, completely unaware that he would be driven away as soon as he found the mermaid village.

"They are like this, very repelling outsiders, and the same as the horse people in the Forbidden Forest." Albert waved his wand and conjured up a line of words.

"The mermaid actually kept Grindylow." George reached out and touched Albert, pointing to a little Grindylow tied to a door not far away.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt Hogwarts students at will. This is an ancient agreement." The mermaid saw that Albert and the others didn't move, and said, "However, it's really surprising. I didn't expect there to be The warrior came here ahead of time, and Dumbledore never mentioned it to me."

"I'm just stepping on the spot first."

Albert told the others to leave, and he didn't forget to guard against the mermaid's sneak attack before leaving. Although they thought that the mermaid would probably not sneak up on him, it was always right to be cautious.

Several people were led by the mermaid through the square of the small village, where a rough statue stood: it was a mermaid carved out of huge stones.

A large group of mermaids followed a few people, and the whole village sent them away together. This battle was quite intimidating.

They left from the direction of the water and grass jungle, and they didn't know if it was the malice of the mermaid, or if it was the entrance of the village.

Well, Albert really guessed right, it was indeed the entrance of the mermaid village, and the crying Myrtle led Albert over from behind the mermaid village.

Staying under the black lake, the mermaids basically had no natural enemies, but suddenly three wizards quietly touched them into the village, which really shocked them, and the mermaid blew the conch horn.

Albert suspected that the aquatic plants in front of him were planted by the murlocs to raise seedlings or serve as food. Anyway, this large expanse of aquatic plants was too lush, enough to block their vision and trap them in it.

He didn't suspect that Grindylow was hiding here.

To be honest, Albert didn't want to go through this aquatic forest at all, so after they were taken out of the mermaid village, they moved straight to the lake.

As for the specific location of the mermaid village, before leaving, Albert had already dropped the previously made locator, which was an enchanted stone, and the location could be locked by tracking magic. Three of these were thrown nearby.

As for cheating?
Can this count as cheating?

No, this is the invisible benefit given by unlocking the golden egg.

When they were about to leave the water and grass jungle in front of them, a large group of Grindylows rushed out of the water plants, chasing the three and one ghost who were about to leave, as if they wanted to drag them into the bottom of the lake.

The mermaids who watched them leave just now witnessed this scene, but they didn't intend to help remind them. They obviously wanted to see how deflated they were.

　It is a mermaid, not a murloc. There are a few places written as a murloc, but there is no way to change it. I am depressed.
