The Wizard Supreme at Hogwarts

218 Mermaid
The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and Noreen could clearly hear Campbell's faint breathing beside him.

"Want to go in?"

Campbell asked half expectantly and half anxiously.He was almost unable to hold back the eager curiosity in his heart, and he was also afraid that there might be some unavoidable danger inside.

"I can only go in."

Norin stared at the dark passage for a long while, and said slowly.He raised his leg and stepped into the passage, and the sound echoed in the surrounding walls, all the way to the distance.

Campbell swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suddenly his heart broke, and he followed Nolin into the passage.

Norlin raised his wand, and the light of the fluorescent spell illuminated the darkness in the passage.

This passage is paved with dark stones, and the walls are dry but seamless, which looks quite neat.

Nuolin couldn't see the end of the road ahead at a glance, and he didn't know how long this trip would take.But right now, there should be no other way but to walk over honestly.

The silence in the passage was a little disconcerting, Norlin and Campbell were silent and did not speak.Noreen was thinking about the situation he might face next, while Campbell was too nervous to speak.

After walking for a long time, Nuo Lin's nose suddenly twitched, and his eyes slowly became serious.He could smell a faint dampness in the air.

"Is there any lake near the school?"

Nolin tilted his head and asked the nervous Campbell.

"lake?"

Noreen's sudden sound startled Campbell.He froze for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Isn't the biggest lake around the school the one with the big magic boat?"

Hearing what he said, Norin remembered that behind the castle there was a magical lake that would never freeze. Norlin had never been there before, so he didn't realize it for a while.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's already outside the scope of the school. It should be under that lake."

"Under the lake?"

Campbell opened his mouth wide and said in surprise, "Why?"

Norlin temporarily lifted the light of the Luminescent Charm into the sky, the tip of the wand fluctuated, and faint drops of water floated in the air.

"Look, the air here is so humid that I can condense water droplets with a little extraction. The school is so dry, and I need to spend several times the magic power to do it."

As Noring spoke, he gave Campbell his wand to take a closer look, and reached out to touch the wall, "Moreover, moss appeared on the wall. There were no moss on the wall, and the more you go in, the more there will be."

Campbell followed his line of sight, and sure enough, he saw a large stretch of green plants sticking to the wall.But he still said in disbelief:

"Under the lake...then won't this channel collapse?"

"It's possible that this passage is enchanted. By the way, have you ever heard that someone has been to the bottom of the lake?"

"No."

Campbell thought for a while, then shook his head, "There have always been rumors that there are ghost ships haunting the lake. Many students are curious to find them, but no one has seen them. Over time, everyone lost interest in this lake."

Norlin was silent, his footsteps did not stop, a smile was raised at the corner of his mouth, and he said:

"Then it seems that today we will see the secrets under the lake."

Campbell kept looking at the passage, and the Forbidden Forest followed him.He knew how powerful Norlin was, and if there was any danger in getting closer, Norlin could protect himself in time.

Unfortunately, Campbell's preparations did not come in handy.After walking for more than two hours, when Campbell's legs were numb, a light finally appeared in front of him.

Glowing blue.

Norin looked at the front thoughtfully, while Campbell's spirits were high. His legs were already sore and numb, and he probably had to lie on the ground and rest for a long time before walking.His injury is still not healed. After wandering around the castle for a long time, he found the door and rushed to inform Norin excitedly, and then entered this passage until now. Norin admired his perseverance for being able to persist.

When they reached the end of the passage, the two realized that there seemed to be an invisible membrane on the exit, completely isolating the inside and the outside.Inside is a quiet and boring gloomy passage, while outside is a vibrant lake bottom ecology.

The azure blue lake was flowing slowly in front of their eyes, and many creatures at the bottom of the lake passed through one by one, enjoying the floating aquatic plants leisurely.Small fish roam among the gorgeous corals, and strange and lovely shellfish, starfish, jellyfish, and aquatic plants of various colors dance under the surging waves.

In front of Nolin and Campbell, there is a wonderful and rare forest at the bottom of the lake, where tall woody plants grow, and the clustered branches of small trees stretch straight to the lake.No branches, no veins, like iron rods.Among the various shrubs, as tall as a temperate forest, there are corals of various colors with vivid flowers.

There was a momentary trance in front of the eyes of the two of them, and they were a little intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in front of them.They didn't expect that after leaving the passage, they would see such a scene.

Norin waved his wand, and a huge transparent bubble floated around the two of them.

However, they didn't look for long before they heard a whistling sound.A huge water bubble came along the waves, and hit the wall outside the channel directly, making a loud bang.

At the same time, a delicate and vigilant voice sounded in their ears:

"Who are you? Why did you come out of here?"

Norin narrowed his eyes slightly, and the figure of a magical creature was reflected in his pupils.

This is a mermaid with light blue skin and long dark green hair, floating softly in the water.She wore a necklace made of pebbles around her neck, held a wooden halberd in her hand, and looked at the two of Norin curiously and carefully.

Norin has a superficial understanding of mermaids.The earliest figures were known as sirens.They are intelligent beings, but their intelligence is unknown to various degrees, but it is certain that they are more intelligent than most animals.Because they have their own language and can write their own music.They love music, it's their biggest hobby.

It is a sentient beast that lives underwater and can be found all over the world.Their living habits are still a mystery, and like the centaur, they voluntarily declined the status of "human" and chose the status of "beast" because they did not want to share their bodies with hags and vampires.Merfolk can breathe on the surface, but it's unclear if they'll be able to live off the bottom.

There is a mermaid tribe at the bottom of the Black Lake in Hogwarts, but Norlin has never found traces of mermaids there, and he did not expect to meet one here.

At the same time, he probably knew where the end of the passage was.
