Chapter 218 The Two-Tailed Mermaid Myrcella
Dumbledore stayed and prepared to explain something to Professor Lockhart.
Rove and the others continued to walk towards a huge house, and soon walked up a wide white stone staircase, all the way into a bright hall.
Marble mermaids lined the road, holding flaming bowls of whale oil in their hands for illumination.
The walls, floors, and ceilings of the house are all made of stone, and various magical creatures are depicted on the rock walls.
Walking up the hall, Rove stepped over painted crabs, clams, and starfish hidden among tangles of black seaweed and the bones of drowned sailors.
Pale sharks weave through the water, and eels and octopus slither among the rocks against the walls of turquoise deep sea.
In the thickly colored waves behind the platform, a two-tailed mermaid and a gray sea monster are engaged in a life-and-death struggle.
While observing the mural, Rove asked curiously, "Is that mermaid pregnant just now?"
"Yes, but don't worry, Azir's husband has passed away." Mercus said with a smile: "When the child is born, he will not know who his biological father is."
Boy, is Lockhart still taking over?
Sure enough, no one can withstand the double curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts and Mrs. Sabini... Lockhart still doesn't believe in evil.
Rove hesitated for a moment and continued to ask, "Who am I going to see?"
He felt that it was necessary to ask clearly in advance, otherwise he would not be let down for a while.
"The patient's name is Myrcella...a mermaid from another sea region. It is a very powerful group, and we call it the Golden Family."
Mercus was silent for a moment, and said seriously:
"Son, you must help me cure Myrcella, at least you can't let something happen to her here."
"Madam, my level is limited, so I can only say try my best." Rove vaccinated in advance.
"Come on, this way." Mercus led Rove and Shirley through the long corridor to a bedroom, pushed open the door, and walked into a small room.
The temperature in this room was very high, at least seven or eight degrees higher than the water outside. A bed of polished shells of a giant clam was placed in the corner, and a mermaid curled up on it.
If Mercus is a monster, then Myrcella is really a mermaid:
She is only about sixteen or seventeen years old, with curly and fluffy blond hair, and flawless white skin. Her upper body is human-shaped up to her buttocks, but from her hips it is fish-shaped... golden fish tail, which looks sparkling.
Moreover, she is not a fishtail, but a two-tailed mermaid.
Myrcella was also wearing a silver seagrass woven dress. She was slender and looked thin, but actually concealed her plump figure.
"Myrcella, I hired a healer from the wizard for you." Mercus said softly.
Myrcella looked very weak, she slightly straightened her body, her slender tail undulating white water splashes.
"Thank you, Mercus." Myrcella looked sickly and couldn't lift her spirits, but her voice was still melodious and clear, like an oriole.
Rove came over and sat down next to the bed. He stretched out his hand to hold Myrcella's slender fish tail, and suddenly there was a ding in his mind.

Rove held Myrcella's tail, and when he stretched out his fingers to stroke between the scales, he could clearly feel the girl's suppressed trembling.
For mermaids, the most sensitive part is the tail, which is like a girl's feet, not everyone can touch it at will.
"I'm a therapist, it's normal to have physical contact, don't be nervous." Rove reminded.
Myrcella's ears were blushing, and she didn't make a sound.
It was just a tingling sensation where it was touched.
Rove checked carefully, and quickly found the problem according to the system reward prompt.
The golden fish scales have a large scale standing upright, which spreads out like a pinecone; and the scale sac at the base of the scales is edematous, and translucent exudate accumulates inside, causing the scales to stand up.
"You have vertical scale disease." Rove said quickly.
"What's the reason?" Myrcella asked softly in human language.
"There are many possible causes, Pseudomonas punctatus, Pseudomonas hydrophila, Aeromonas hydrophila, etc... may all cause this disease," Rove explained:
"But at the end of the day, it's a sudden arrival in the UK's waters that are too cold, and I'm not used to the environment."
Myrcella is so beautiful, she is obviously a tropical mermaid, she came to the Black Lake in such cold weather in February and March... It's strange that she didn't get sick.
Rove was very curious about why she, a tropical mermaid, came all the way to England.
"Can it be cured?" Mercus asked hastily.
"Inject streptomycin into the body, take norfloxacin syrup, and then soak the scales with rivanol medicine." Rove said calmly:
"There is also a salt water bath with the above treatment method, the effect is remarkable..."
The boy spoke very fast, but Shirley's hands were even faster. When he finished speaking, the girl had already written it down on the parchment and handed it to Mercus.
"Thank you." Myrcella whispered.
"You're welcome." Rove and Myrcella looked at each other, smiled tentatively and said, "If you come to England in June and July, you won't have these problems."
Myrcella said nothing.
Rove stood up and took Shirley out of the room.
At this time, Dumbledore also came back, and the old man asked with a smile, "How is it?"
"It's just vertical scale disease. It's not too troublesome. It can be completely cured in about two weeks." Rove didn't mention the curse, but said softly:
"But it's strange, why did she come to England in this season?"
"It's not clear, but every few decades, young mermaids from their group will come here." Dumbledore whispered:
"From the time of the Big Four, there have been such records. The Sorting Hat also told me that Gryffindor had been to their tribe, and it seems that they left something behind."
Rove narrowed his eyes... Gryffindor?
"By the way, where is Professor Lockhart? Are we taking him?"
"No, I just comforted Professor Lockhart and told him... I will take him away when he is cured." Dumbledore smiled and said:
"Don't worry, let him stay here for a few more days. After all, the opportunity is rare. If Hogwarts doesn't have too many chores, I would like to stay."
