Chapter 697 Myrcella, have you found Avalon?
After the battle, Moody finally arrived at the scene of the crime with several staff from the Department of Magical Sports and Sports.
It's definitely not appropriate to say that they arrived late. As soon as the battle on Luofu's side ended, they came out to collect the corpses. This was obviously a timely move... What a punctuality!
What, they are not here to collect corpses for the Death Eaters, but to support Rove?
That bothers me.
However, Moody, who was late, was not too embarrassed. After all, being late was a traditional Auror skill. He asked in a rough and low voice:
"Child, are you not hurt?"
"No, Professor Moody." Rolf was floating in the water, glanced at Mad-Eye with the bubbles above his head, and asked, "Are you looking for Carlo at the bottom of the lake?"
"We've found it, Mr. Scamander!" a young witch said excitedly.
Seeing the young man looking at her, she quickly introduced herself:
"Hello, my name is Uma Pennymion. I am an employee of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports. I am currently responsible for coordinating the Triwizard Tournament..."
Uma seemed to register her household registration, stating her job, age and even her home address.
She seemed to realize that she talked too much, and said a little embarrassedly:
"Sorry, Mr. Scamander, I am your admirer and have always liked you, so I am a little excited."
"Thank you for your love, don't be nervous, relax." Luofu said with a smile, and he reminded:
"There is no need to look for Rocky and Caswell. They were eaten by the horse-headed, fish-tailed sea monster and the giant octopus respectively."
"So, except for Amycus Carrow, the other three wizards are all dead?" Moody asked roughly.
"Yes."
Uma looked at Luo Fu with admiration, her eyes full of admiration.
Being ambushed by four dark wizards, he was able to kill three people and seriously injure one... He was truly worthy of Scamander.
Moody had already known about Luofu's strength and was not surprised at all. He was just a little impressed by his genius.
He narrowed his two asymmetrical eyes again and stared suspiciously at Myrcella who was comforting the horse-headed, fish-tailed sea monster in the distance.
One of his eyes was small, dark, and bright; the other was large, round, and sparkling an electric blue.
"Who is this?"
"Her name is Myrcella," Rolf said. "Is my friend."
"Can you guarantee that this is her, Rolf?" Moody said with doubt in his eyes:
"How did she happen to appear here? Could it be a Death Eater who used Polyjuice Potion to impersonate her? You'd better ask her, something only you two will know."
"I've confirmed it." Luo Fu smiled, "The mermaid's singing cannot be faked."
Seeing that Moody was still uneasy and seemed to want to interrogate him personally, Luofu said quickly:
"Professor Moody, the Triwizard Tournament is not over yet, I need to go first... Goodbye."
Moody nodded, while Uma watched the boy go away reluctantly.
After bidding farewell to Mad-Eye, Rolf took Neville, who was still asleep, and continued to return on the giant octopus.
Myrcella followed.
The last time the two of them were separated was the summer two years ago. It would be a long separation and they would have too much to talk about.
At this time, standing on the referee's bench, Ludo's voice echoed throughout the Black Lake, and he said excitedly:
"Oh, it seems that the source of the golden scales on Scamander's body has been answered, and it probably comes from the mermaid beside him.
Everyone is lucky today to be able to see the golden two-tailed mermaid with your own eyes. They are extremely rare existences and rarely appear in the wizarding world. "
"By the way, this mermaid is so beautiful!" Ludo exclaimed, "It is rumored that they are as beautiful as Veela. It seems that it is not a rumor."
Ludo's praise was recognized by all the students, and many boys stared at Myrcella with obsessed eyes.
She looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a silver seaweed dress. She had a slender figure, curly and fluffy blond hair, dancing lightly in the water, and her skin was white and flawless.
What's even more attractive are the two golden fish tails below the buttocks, which simply excites some people with peculiar xp.
This is the real mermaid!
Those mermaids in the Black Lake?
Just an ugly mutant!
But just as everyone was enjoying it, the picture behind the magic curtain was suddenly interrupted, filling the auditorium with angry roars.
"It seems that Scamander took the initiative to block the monitor again." Ludo joked:
"He may have to do something private with that beautiful mermaid that cannot be seen by others."
"Okay, let's look at the other warriors. Swinton has rescued Padma Patil and became the second warrior to return. Granger is dealing with the rune snake in the fourth level..."
Ludo's guess was correct, Rove did have something private to do:
He needed to check up on Myrcella.
After confirming that there was no one else around, Myrcella, who was sitting on the head of the giant octopus, turned her back to Luo Fu and shyly took off her upper body clothes, revealing a graceful, flawless and perfect body.
On her snow-white back, there was a very dazzling gray scale.
This is the unique curse of the golden twin-tailed mermaid - greyscale.
Myrcella turned her back to Luo Fu and asked sadly: "Has the area expanded a lot?"
Luofu stretched out his fingers, slowly touched the skin of Myrcella's back, and sighed: "Yes."
Two years ago, when he first saw this gray scale, it was only the size of a mung bean, but it has now spread to the size of a palm.
At this rate, in a few years, Myrcella's entire back will probably be covered in gray scales.
But this is the characteristic of greyscale. Over time, it will slowly erode from the back, to the buttocks, neck and thighs, until the whole body is covered with gray scales... and finally death.
No one can cure this disease, which only occurs in female mermaids with golden twin tails, and no one knows the cause.
However, when Rolf returned to a thousand years ago, he asked Professor Gryffindor who was familiar with mermaids.
According to him, this greyscale disease originated from the three mermaid siren sisters of Avalon Island-Pelselope.
Palselope fell in love with the ancient Greek wizard Odysseus. When Odysseus' ship left Avalon, Palselope also chased him.
The three siren sisters once swore to stay on the island forever and protect a treasure. Palselope broke the oath and was cursed forever.
After Palselope's death, this curse continued to her descendants - the golden two-tailed mermaid!
Luofu stared at Myrcella's snow-white back, remained silent for a moment, and asked softly:
"So, Myrcella, did you find Avalon according to the navigation map I gave you?"
Myrcella put on her clothes again, covered her collar, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice:
"I found it."
