Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 138 Mermaid Village
Kanaloa quietly floated above the village, its huge figure almost covering most of the village.

Fish leaned on its tentacles and looked down, probably because it was at the bottom of the water. The entire mermaid village didn't have any obvious roads, and almost the same stone dwellings were built in a disorderly manner at the bottom of the lake.

The only thing that has a sense of order is the square in the middle of the village, surrounded by a large number of stone dwellings.

On the square stood a tall statue of a mermaid, which, like those houses, was also carved from stone.

However, both the statue and the house are very rough, obviously the mermaids' carving skills are not very good.

In addition, there are garden-like facilities next to a few small dwellings, which are probably the residences of higher-status mermaids.

There are also one or two strange human-shaped creatures with pale green and horns tied to the door of some small dwellings. Their fingers are very long, and they are all lying on the door and sleeping soundly.

This kind of weird creature is called Grindylow, and it is a kind of devil that lives in fresh water. It's just that Fish doesn't know what they are called yet, but from their current state, Fish can roughly guess that they should be the same as Dogs bred by humans are pretty much the same.

Mermaids seem to have the same sleep schedule as humans, so when Kanaloa arrived, they were still asleep.

However, those Grindylows who were tied to the door seemed to feel the waves generated by Kanaloa's swimming, opened their eyes in a daze, and then looked up to see Kanaloa floating quietly above their heads.

I don't know whether he was stunned or frightened. After waking up, Grindylow raised his head and looked at Kanaloa motionless for a long time before he let out a horrified and weird scream, shaking the house down. The group of mermaids were awakened.

Countless mermaids with dark green hair and silver-white fish tails swam out of the house in a panic. Their appearance is similar to that of humans, but their skin is gray and their teeth are sharp. They look much more ferocious than humans and centaurs. .

Armed with poorly crafted spears like their houses, the merfolk gathered to form a line of gray and silver defenses and howled fiercely at Canaloa in unison.

However, Fish could see their sternness at a glance.

[They couldn't understand what I said, so I sent you here. With your ability and identity, these mermaids can't possibly make things difficult for you. 】

Kanaloa ignored the yelling of the mermaids at all, let Fish down, and then swam away lazily.

Fish looked at the group of half-human, half-fish guys in front of him, and after thinking for a while, he also turned into a cat-man.

"You guys are so meow!" (●ΦωΦ●)

"Hello," a rough and fierce-looking mermaid swam out from a group of guards, came to Fish, blinked her yellow eyes, and asked, "Fish McGonagall?"

Although it was a questioning tone, the mermaid's attitude was very positive.

Obviously, the mermaids also knew about this special little wizard, Fish.

"My name is Mercus, and I am the leader of the mermaid clan." Mercus performed a strange courtesy to Fish, "Welcome to our tribe as a guest."

"Did I make you sleep meow? Kanaloa said, you know where it's easier to catch small fish, so you brought me here..."

Fish scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"No, it's nothing," Mercus grinned, revealing two rows of jagged but extremely sharp teeth, "We're glad to be able to help you."

She reached out and touched Fish's head, then asked curiously, "Kanaloa, is that the name of the squid king?"

"Yes, meow," Fish replied, "it said that this is the name Godric Gryffindor gave it when it was put in the lake."

"Godric Gryffindor?!"

Who is Gryffindor, how could the mermaids living in the Black Lake not know, what's more, this group of mermaids living in the Black Lake has always had records about the squid king.

Mercus sighed in surprise: "So the squid king really lived for nearly a thousand years?! The legends in the clan are actually true!"

"I don't know about that, meow." Fish shook his head, then stretched out his hand and tugged Mercus' arm, "Can I take Fish to catch small fish, meow?" (●ΦωΦ●)

"Of course, please come with me."

Mercus took Fisch's hand, swung his silver fish tail, and led him to swim out of the village. Among the group of mermaids behind her, four strong male mermaids followed quickly, holding harpoons. The guards are beside Mercus and Fish.

The swimming speed of the mermaids is naturally not as fast as that of giant beasts like Canaloa, but it is definitely not slow, and it is several times faster than Fisher's flopping.

While maintaining the human form, Fish was led by Merkus for a while, and unexpectedly found that the human body seems to be more suitable for swimming, but the clothes on his body are a bit troublesome. If he takes them off, he should be able to swim faster .

After a while, Mercus brought Fish to an area with dense aquatic plants. She pointed to the aquatic plants in front of her and said: "There are many small fish in this area, and there are many small fish in the crevices of the stones and the mud at the bottom of the lake. Under the sand, you can also find various shellfish and crabs.”

Fish was not in a hurry to go fishing, he grabbed his robe and wanted to take it off, but because he was in the water, Fish seemed to struggle a bit when taking off his clothes.

With difficulty, he stripped off all his clothes except his underpants. It had been a long time since Fisher had been so unfettered.

As for the only remaining underwear, it was also a little bit of habit that Fish kept only after Professor McGonagall kept reminding him.

Handing off the clothes to the mermaids to take care of, Fish swam awkwardly into the lush aquatic plants with his hands and feet.

Although he had never swam in human form, Fish still had strong control over his body, so after a while among the aquatic plants, he became more and more comfortable swimming.

And the human form is indeed more suitable for swimming than the cat form. After getting used to it, Fisher's swimming speed has increased significantly. Coupled with the blessing of the acceleration spell, Fisher soon has a swimming ability that is not inferior to that of a mermaid. speed.

"Meow ha ha ha ha ha!" (●ΦωΦ●)
Fish quickly shuttled among the aquatic plants, searching for his prey.

Those shellfish that stay in the crevices of the rocks and in the sand and barely move, have never been Fisher's targets. What he wants to catch are the fast-swimming fish.

Soon, Fish found a group of small silver fishes coming out of the nearby water plants. They seemed to be frightened by Fish, and they spread out quickly, like silver darts, swimming far away go.

Animals such as ordinary bugs and fish and shrimps are not so sensitive to Fisch's animal affinity because of their low intelligence. Fish, this strange "big monster", was terrified.

"Don't run meow!" (●｀●)

Fish wished that they would not get close to him, he swung his arms and quickly chased one of the small fish.

It's just that he still spends too little time in the water, and he can't be as agile as he is on land, so although his speed is not inferior to those small fish, Fish has never been able to catch them.

After finally catching one, the little fish slipped away from the palm of the human hand because there were no claws to hold it firmly.

"Need help?"

After watching for a while, Mercus took the initiative to speak.

"No need to meow!" Fish stopped chasing the little fish, feeling the current time a little bit, "Fish had a great time, but it's almost time for me to go back meow."

He swam back to Mercus, retrieved the clothes from one of the guards, and slipped them back on with difficulty.

"Thank you for your hospitality, I will come to play with you again in the future!" (●ΦωΦ●)

"Mermaid family, you are always welcome as a guest."

Mercus smiled and said to Fish.

After bidding farewell to the mermaid leader Mercus, Fish found Kanaloa to say goodbye through other squids, and was carried back to the shore by its tentacles.

Cleaning up the water stains on his body with a spell, Fish bounced back to the castle.

Although I failed to catch the little fish today, I had a great time, and he will come tomorrow!

　Rowling once joked that if Godric Gryffindor is still alive, then he is the giant squid in the Black Lake, so he is also the largest Animagus in the wizarding world, and of course he may be the oldest of.Every night at eleven o'clock, the squid will return to its original Gryffindor form and walk around the school grounds until the sun rises the next day.

　　Later, some book fans misunderstood that Gryffindor was still alive, and she even ran out to refute the rumors.

　　So I set the biggest giant squid in the Black Lake to be related to Gryffindor. In theory, there is no problem. As for the lifespan of the giant squid, it’s all in the magical world. It’s okay to have a thousand-year-old monster normal.
