Chapter 926： Greenlody's counterattack

Chapter 926 Greenlody’s Counterattack

 “Is this really okay?”

Weeping Myrtle "swam" beside Albert happily. It would have been better if the few people were not driven out of the village by the mermaid so quickly.

“Thanks to Myrtle this time, I don’t have to worry about getting lost for the second project.”

 Albert was in a good mood, but his body was a bit cold and the effect of the heat preservation spell was not very good. Logically speaking, if the lake freezes in winter, the temperature at the bottom of the lake should be around 4 degrees, which is not really high.

"You are welcome."

  Moaning Myrtle giggled, seeming to like others to thank her, especially when the other person is her type.

Just as the three people and the ghost were preparing to return to the lake, Albert felt something. He looked at the slightly hot detection bracelet on his left wrist. It seemed that some dark creature was approaching them.

 Grindelow?

Albert squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at the dark and hazy lake below. The jungle of black and green water plants below gave him a depressing feeling.

 “What’s wrong?”

Myrtle noticed Albert's turning of his head, followed his gaze, and asked in confusion.

Albert took out his wand and waved it gently. A ball of light flew out from the tip of the wand and suddenly bloomed under the bottom of the lake, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Fred and George also realized something was wrong after seeing Albert's actions. They pulled out their wands and looked down. They soon knew the reason.

 “What the hell!”

 “Damn it, is this a stab at Grindylow’s lair?”

The two cursed in low voices. Below them, a large number of Grindylows poured out from the lush jungle of water plants below and chased them like crazy. Fred and George, who were originally lagging behind, were quickly caught up by this. The Grindylows were besieged.

Those guys were very strong. They grabbed their legs and pulled the Weasley twins down.

The two had to hold the underwater booster with one hand and wave the wand with the other hand to try to drive away Grindylow. They even kicked and kicked to try to get rid of the surrounding Grindylow, but the effect was not very good. There were too many of them. When they fought off one, a large group came towards them. The Weasley brothers, who had no experience in underwater combat, were in a hurry.

Looking at the busy Weasley twins, Albert was a little depressed, because he found that the amulet made from the guardian tree had no effect on the group of Grindylows, otherwise Fred and George who were carrying the amulets would not be affected by the Grindylows at all. Duro's attack.

But that’s right, if the amulet really worked, it would have become a panel skill long ago.

The group of Grindylows naturally would not let Albert go like this, but most of the firepower was drawn away by Fred and George, and the number of Grindylows rushing toward Albert was smaller.

Grindylows are not dangerous. They are even classified as harmless by the Ministry of Magic. As long as they are dealt with calmly and properly, they will not cause any trouble to wizards.

Albert waved his wand and tried to use a stun spell to knock down Grindylow, but he soon found that he was launching a jet of water. After the water column concentrated on Grindylow, he quickly knocked him out.

There is no doubt that the stun spell is not suitable for underwater combat, at least not suitable for dealing with large groups of Grindylows, but the situation is urgent, and Albert has no time to think about which spell is more suitable for dealing with Grindylows, his lips are quick Reciting various spells, he knocked down all the Grindylows surrounding him.

Most magic has the same effect underwater. It is a bit like a bullet. It will form a water column after use, and the power underwater will be weaker. However, the obstacle spell gave Albert an unexpected surprise.

This spell will cause a small wave of water impact when used underwater. It is not very powerful, but it can repel enemies.

After Albert determined the effect of the obstacle spell, he immediately used it on Fred and George who were surrounded by Grindylow. While the water wave rushed them a certain distance, it also washed away the Grindylow around them. Eight elements.

Myrtle looked very excited when she saw Albert fighting a group of green water monsters, and actually cheered them on.

Albert did not dare to be distracted. He waved his wand again, conjuring ropes to tie up Fred and George, and pulled back the twin brothers who had been affected by the obstacle spell.

The defeated Grindylow quickly gathered again and surged towards the three of them, but Albert did not give them a chance. He waved his wand gently, disturbing the lake water and rolling up a whirlpool, which would surge towards them. The Grindylows who came were all involved, and they were rushed to nowhere.

"Okay, let's go back quickly, lest those nasty Grindylows come after us again!" Albert used a rope to pull them to swim to the lake, otherwise after losing the underwater booster, Fred and George thought It was not easy to surface as quickly as possible. The speed of swimming alone was not enough, so he had to hold the two of them up so that the three of them could leave the black lake faster.

"What happened just now? Why did those green-skinned water monsters suddenly attack us?" Myrtle couldn't help but ask, patting her chest.

 “I don’t know, let’s talk about it first.”

 Albert suspected that this matter had something to do with the mermaid.

Of course, he has no evidence.

 No, there is now.

Albert glanced at the new task on the task panel:

 Grindelow's counterattack.

Merkus, the leader of the mermaids, agreed to Dumbledore's request and asked Grindylow to cause as much trouble as possible to the warriors who were trying to pass through the water plants. They would become one of the biggest obstacles for the warriors to save the hostages. Defeat them and prove that even if Grindylow No matter how many Dilo there are, they are just a bunch of fish.

  Reward: 1000 experience, acquired skill: Water Monster Repelling Spell.

Have you stepped on a trap in advance?

Albert's mouth twitched, but the water monster repelling spell came in time, but he didn't know if it would work.

At this moment, a large black shadow suddenly appeared below, startling the three people and a ghost. They could all feel that something was approaching quickly.

The giant squid living in the black lake is looking at the three Alberts and one ghost curiously with their big eyes.

Although they all know that the giant squid in the Black Lake of Hogwarts has a docile character, and there are even rumors that students have entered the lake to swim in the company of the giant squid, it is still quite scary to encounter the giant squid underwater. It was really a different feeling to be escorted out of the lake by the big guys.

After leaving the water, Fred couldn't help but mutter: "This is definitely one of the most amazing experiences of my life."

“I feel like I can brag about this for several years.” George noticed Lee Jordan waving at them and said, “I dare say Lee Jordan regrets missing this opportunity.”

"I'm leaving first. Remember to visit me in the girls' bathroom on the second floor when you have time." Miss Ghost ran to Albert's side, rubbed against him, and left with satisfaction.

"It seems that she really likes you." Fred and George reminded with a smile, "You have to be careful, maybe she will run to cause trouble when you get married."

 “Shut up, or I won’t invite you to my wedding.”

 “Wow, when are you getting married?”

“Did you dive into the bottom of the lake just now?”

Krum’s voice sounded not far away, and he seemed to be swimming in the winter.

"Yes, there is a mermaid village under the water, but outsiders are not very welcome." Albert did not hide it, "Maybe you can try it, the scenery there is good."

"I have been in the water before, and there are many Grindylows under the lake." Krum raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the two helpers beside Albert. "Especially in those aquatic plants, you will often encounter Grindylow, which is very troublesome. Moreover, I didn't find the mermaid village you mentioned."

Krum’s tone sounded gritty. Although he didn’t say what happened after meeting Grindylow, it was obviously not a good thing.

"The small mermaid village is hidden in the jungle of water plants. You have to get closer to distinguish it." Albert said with a smile, "You have to be patient and look for it in the jungle of water plants."

“The Bubble Curse won’t last that long, and Grindylow is a problem.” Krum was curious about how Albert found the mermaid village the first time he went into the lake.

"Let's go ashore first. I'm actually quite afraid of the cold?" Albert swam toward the shore of the lake.

When Lee Jordan saw several people coming ashore, he immediately pulled out his wand and went to greet them. He helped them disperse the water stains and coldness on their bodies. He also noticed the wounds on Fred and George. He frowned and asked, "You are under attack." ”

"When we were leaving, a large group of Grindylows attacked us crazily." Fred put on a thick cloak, took the potion handed over by Lee Jordan and poured it into his mouth. This potion tasted terrible. It was burning after drinking it, and a lot of hot steam came out of his ears, like a boiling kettle.

Krum looked at the busy four people, and suddenly understood why Albert was able to find the mermaid village all at once. From the beginning, the other party was prepared to search for the location of the village purposefully, instead of trying to touch it like him. luck.

"Krum, do you want it?" Albert handed the last cup to Klum, who came ashore later, and introduced, "It can avoid catching a cold after staying in the water for too long."

"Oh, thank you, I don't have to." Krum shook his head and refused. He was using his wand to remove the water stains on his body, and curiously looked at the clothes on the three of them, which were obviously specially made.

 “Have you found the mermaid village?”

"Found it, but their village is hidden in the jungle of water plants. I suspect that the group of Grindylows who attacked us in the end are related to mermaids."

"how do you know?"

“Those merfolk will tame Grindylow.”

 George took off his clothes and began to clean the wound with medicine, dripping white essence at the same time. The wound quickly showed signs of healing.

“Could this guy be more prepared?”

Krum looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but complain.

"Grindylow should be the obstacle prepared by the school for the warriors. Although Grindylow is not a dangerous dark creature, it is deep in the lake." Albert took the steaming tea cup and said calmly, "If you are not careful, you may overturn, especially if you are unprepared and attacked by a large number of Grindylows."

 “I’m going to find another way, the head soaking spell can’t last for an hour.”

Krum hesitated for a moment, then took the fragrant milk tea from Albert, took a sip and continued, "Besides, the swimming speed is too slow, and our physical strength cannot sustain it at that time."

 “You just went into the water without any preparation?”

Albert suddenly understood why Krum had not found the mermaid village. He had never gone deep into the bottom of the lake, or he did not dare to take such a risk.

Krum was a little depressed, but still nodded noncommittally.

 “You are so amazing.” Albert said sincerely.

"Is the mermaid village deep under the lake?" Krum asked. Although this sounds a bit redundant, there is no doubt that this is the result.

It would be difficult to go deep into the depths of the lake if you only relied on the Bubble Charm. Krum also thought of other ways, but he didn't put them into action.

Well, Krum is actually trying to practice human transfiguration, although he is not really good at transfiguration.

 After separating from Krum, several people returned to the castle together.

 On the way, Fred and George kept telling Li Jordan about their adventure in the Black Lake, and also told the thrilling scene of their final battle with a large group of Grindylows.

"Ahem, although Grindylow is very aggressive, its lethality is not strong, otherwise it would not be classified as:." Albert couldn't stand listening anymore, and explained with a slight cough, " They usually drag the attacked into the water, causing them to panic and drown in the water. It is actually not difficult to deal with them..."

"No, I think those Grindylows are tough, at least in the water."

If they had not been attacked in the water, Fred and George would not be in such a mess.

“If you can deal with it calmly, there will definitely be no problem.”

"I don't think anyone can be calm in that situation, those guys' mouths still hurt a lot." Fred muttered.

“Would you like to go check with Madam Pomfrey again?” Albert asked. Although the wound had been treated carefully, they were not professionals after all.

Without waiting for the Weasley brothers to object, Albert took them to the school hospital and asked Madam Pomfrey to check them both.

 “They’re fine, you should check it out too!” Madam Pomfrey said,

 “I’ll forget it, I’m not hurt.” Albert declined politely.

"No, no, you are a warrior. How can you not pay attention to your health? Moreover, you will participate in the second event in a while." The three of them persuaded each other, but they did not intend to let Albert Special refusal.

 In the end, Albert was forced to undergo a check-up and only left the campus hospital after confirming that he was in good health.

 When the four of them walked out of the campus hospital together, they almost bumped into Hermione in the corridor outside.

"What are you doing?" Albert looked at Hermione in confusion.

"Winky seems to be ill. Let me ask Madam Pomfrey if she can provide treatment for her." Hermione hurriedly walked into the school hospital.

Grindylow.
