Chapter 545: Horse Rider
Chapter 545 Horse-shaped Water Monster Knight
“We have lost more than a dozen soldiers since we discovered it.”
The mermaid leader said with a serious face, "If you can help us get rid of this monster, then you will also become a friend of our tribe."
“No problem, leave it to me.” Kyle said and swam towards the horse-shaped water monster.
Under the constant attack of the mermaid, the horse-shaped water monster was indeed going crazy. It shook its body vigorously and tried to transform into other shapes to break free from the ropes on its body.
Equestria is like the Metamorphmagus in Fantastic Beasts, able to transform itself into various different appearances.
But the mermaids seem to have suffered in this regard, and can always add a new rope the moment it transforms.
Kyle originally wanted to try to make the horse-shaped water monster relax, but it couldn't listen to anything at the moment. When it saw Kyle, it immediately opened its mouth and bit it.
Kyle is not surprised by this situation, and he has several solutions.
But that all takes time. Now that the one-hour deadline is getting closer, he doesn't want to spend too much time here.
So, Kyle chose the simplest and crudest one.
He stretched out his wand, and a small golden-red fish made of flames came out from the tip of the wand.
In an instant, the originally cold lake water began to heat up rapidly, and the mermaids screamed and ran away,
Then Kyle waved his wand again, and the small fish made of flames disappeared.
Kyle has mastered the Fire Spell very skillfully now, because he was also in the Black Lake at the moment. In order not to be affected, he deliberately controlled the Fire to a minimum.
But even so, the effect is obvious.
First of all, the cold lake water has become much warmer, like soaking in a hot spring.
In addition, the horse-shaped water monster also became quiet. It stood there motionless, and the eyes it looked at Kyle no longer had the slightest bit of madness, and became clear and bright.
"It would have been better if it had been like this." Kyle swam to the side of the horse-shaped water monster and whispered: "Don't be excited, I'm here to save you... Come with me, those mermaids will not attack you anymore."
He untied the rope from the horse-shaped water monster, turned over and sat on its back.
During this period, the water monster has been quiet.
Kyle naturally grabbed the broad-leaf cattail grass on its body and pointed to the location in front of it.
“Go this way, you’d better hurry up, I’m in a hurry.”
After feeling that the rope that bound him was gone, the horse-shaped water monster looked back at the mermaid coming here, raised his head and neighed, and jumped out directly.
Compared to Kyle swimming by himself, the horse-shaped water monster's speed is simply several levels faster... Kyle feels like he is riding an underwater broomstick, and the bubbles on his head are deformed by the current.
Whether it was Grindylow or any other creature, they were all left far behind. All Kyle had to do was to hold on to the water monster tightly to avoid being thrown off.
It only took less than five minutes for Kyle to faintly hear a burst of singing.
“It’s almost here in an hour…
How long are you going to delay...
Come and take back the treasure that was taken away from us. "
Kyle patted the horse-shaped water monster and swam in the direction of the sound.
After a while, he came to the middle of the black lake, next to a rock pillar painted with a mermaid pattern.
This seems to be a tribe of mermaids, because there are some stone dwellings like houses located around the rock pillars.
Some cottages also have gardens, and others have a little Grindylow tied in front of the door.
After seeing Kyle, the mermaids rushed in from all directions with excitement, slapping the lake water with their thick and powerful silver fish tails, as if they wanted to give Kyle a blow.
Then...they saw the horse-shaped water monster under Kyle.
The originally melodious singing suddenly turned into a piercing scream. The mermaids who were close to them dispersed in a hurry, screaming to get their weapons.
“Why is this monster back again…”
“Run quickly, the leader is eaten by it...”
“Go and get the weapons, go and get the weapons…”
There was chaos all around. It was obvious that the mermaids were all creatures in the water and had a natural fear of the horse-shaped water monster.
But this was convenient for Kyle. He didn’t explain anything, but went to a mermaid statue carved from stone.
On the tail of the mermaid stone statue, three people were tied tightly.
I don’t recognize the man on the far left, but judging from the clothes he is wearing, he should be from Durmstrang. Karkaroff has not been to the castle in recent times, and other people, including Krum, rarely show up. Kyle really has no impression of him for a while.
In the middle is an eight-year-old little girl, Gabrielle, Fleur's sister.
On the far right is Connor, who has not appeared again since being called away by Professor McGonagall last night.
The three of them all looked like they were sleeping deeply, their heads were stretched limply on their shoulders, and a series of bubbles kept coming out of their mouths.
What tied them to the statue were three large round locks. The three locks were alternate with each other. Only when they were opened could they be separated from the statue.
Kyle doesn't have a key, but he has a wand which is enough.
He stretched out his hand holding the wand, and the horse-shaped water monster under him suddenly shook uneasily a few times...it seemed to recognize the wand and wanted to escape.
Kyle quickly comforted him: "Don't worry...it's okay..."
Although the horse-shaped water monster is still a little uneasy, it has also calmed down a lot.
Kyle raised his hand again.
“The divine front has no shadow.”
It was as if an invisible wind had cut through the lake water, and then passed through the three large round locks, cutting them all in half.
Kyle carried Connor onto the horse-shaped water monster, and used the same method to rescue Gabrielle.
Well, that’s it…
Kyle looked behind him and saw a large group of mermaids rushing over with spears, and then patted the horse-shaped water monster on its neck.
…
Everyone in the stands on the shore of the Black Lake was complaining softly.
They were very happy an hour ago, thinking they could see a wonderful game, but in the end they spent an hour by the black lake in the cold wind and saw nothing.
“Who came up with this second project...” Fred pulled the thread on the flag out of boredom and muttered in a low voice: “It’s both a forbidden forest and the bottom of a lake. You can’t see anything here.”
“Can’t Headmaster Dumbledore tear down the ceiling of the Great Hall and move it here?”
George couldn't help but said: "The ceiling is enchanted and can show the weather outside. I guess it can also show the situation in the Black Lake, right?"
“Who says it’s not the case? The principal is so stingy.” Fred sighed, “I really want to know how Kyle is doing now.”
"It should be almost soon." Cedric looked at the time. "There are only a few minutes until an hour. I believe Kyle will be able to complete the project within an hour."
“I believe it too, but nothing…”
George suddenly became silent midway through his words. He rubbed his eyes and looked towards the lake in disbelief.
Merlin, he seemed to see a horse rushing out of the Black Lake, but this is the Black Lake, not the grounds outside the Forbidden Forest...
What’s even more bizarre is that Kyle sat on horseback and jumped onto the lake like a majestic knight.
This... George felt that his brain was a bit out of control, but he still reflexively clapped with the people around him.
“That’s a water monster!” Cedric shouted from the side: “They can move as fast as a broomstick in the water. I didn’t expect that there is such a magical animal in the black lake.”
The stands were full of people, people stood up shouting and shouting, and the referees were also clapping. Although I don’t know if one of them was sincere, at least he clapped.
On the other side, as soon as Kyle left the lake, the unconscious Kangna woke up and blinked a few times in the bright sunlight.
"I knew you could do it." She looked at Kyle and said.
“I admit you have a good sense.” Kyle said with a smile, “And we were the first to come out.”
Kanna also laughed, but soon she thought of something and asked quickly: "Where is Fleur? Has Gabrielle been rescued? She is still so young. The professors really shouldn't have arranged for her to go to the lake."
"I don't know where Fleur is, but Gabrielle is fine..." Kyle turned sideways, allowing Connor to see Gabrielle lying on the horse.
The little girl also woke up. She spit out a large mouthful of lake water and looked around blankly, obviously not understanding what happened.
At this time, Kangna also noticed something was wrong. She seemed to be sitting on a large group of moving water plants.
"What's this?"
“The horse-shaped water monster I rescued in the Black Lake.” Kyle explained: “In return, it is willing to give us a ride.”
