HP's Foreign Land

After hearing this, Heimdall ran towards the position where Carlo was standing just now. Unexpectedly, Carlo moved faster than him, and passed him in the blink of an eye. ...jumped off.

Heimdall was dumbfounded, and there was no time to stop it. The weather is nearly December, and the morning and night are a bit cold. The lake in Hogwarts is so deep that it looks like it has a lot of meaning. The lake, no matter how connotative it is, the water temperature alone can freeze the little fat man into a popsicle.

Sure enough, Carlo, who had plunged into the lake with a very eye-catching posture just now, was jumping up and down randomly. Heimdall thought he was freezing, but Carlo drank a few mouthfuls of water and made a bitter face. Wailing, "Help, help, I, I can't, I can't swim..."

Heimdall's heart skipped a beat, and he jumped into the lake to save people without even thinking about it. After entering the water, he struggled to lean against Carlo, complaining non-stop, "What can you do if you can't swim?!"

Carlo, who spent his life digging in the water, wanted to cry, he was not an impulsive person, but when he thought of losing the golden egg, it was a big deal, his mind went blank, and he went into the water In an instant, I was woken up by the icy lake water, but what's the use, it's already down, isn't it?

Carlo didn't dare to say anything after hearing Heimdall's nagging, and he didn't want to waste this effort. He tried his best to prolong the self-rescue time and create conditions for Heimdall's rescue operation.

Seeing that he was about to reach Carlo, but Carlo sank with a scream of "Ah", Heimdall was shocked and dived into the water in a hurry, but saw a scene that surprised him, a green-haired A burly mermaid with gray skin is holding a harpoon to fight with a group of hideous multi-tentacled monsters whose lower body resembles an octopus.While dealing with the monster, the mermaid had to distract himself from caring for Carlo. Whenever Carlo was about to sink, it took the time to push him back up again. Carlo's existence added a lot to the mermaid who was already at a disadvantage. burden.

Heimdall made a decisive decision, pulled out his wand and flicked it, the tip of the wand burst into a ball of golden light in the water, and a golden rope burst out instantly, like a rattlesnake exiting its hole rapidly, making a hissing, scalp-numbing sound. The sound roared out, and Heimdall shook his arm violently, and swung hard at the multi-tentacled monster not far away. The rope drew a dazzling light in the water, and with a dull scream, he slapped those monsters hard. on the monster.

The golden snake was like a whip, thundering like a thunderbolt, those monsters uttered ear-piercing chirps and scattered like birds and beasts. The mermaid took the opportunity to push back and lifted Carlo, who sank again, back.

Mr. Jones has had a rough day, a real up and down ecstasy.

Feeling that he was about to hold his breath to the limit, Heimdall hurriedly put away his magic, leaned forward and hugged Carlo, and then nodded gratefully at the mermaid, maybe he didn't appreciate it, just pretended that he was Carlo to thank him for saving his life , when they were about to break through the water, Heimdall couldn't help turning his head back, and saw the group of ungrateful monsters trying to follow and stop them, but was stabbed back by the mermaid one after another. The monsters were enraged, even though the mermaid So what if he is fierce and unmatched, how long can he persist in fighting alone?

The monsters know that mermaids mostly act in groups, and they are easy to be alone only when they are patrolling the edge of the territory. Before the mermaid rescue arrives, they kill one by one, and the monsters all rush towards it...

***

On the surface of the lake, Carlo was coughing and breathing in the air greedily. His fleshy round face was green and white. Even so, he couldn't move his mouth, and said hoarsely, "Did you take some medicine? One breath How can you hold it for so long?"

"Okay, let's not say a few words, I am very talented." Carlo asked casually, and Heimdall answered casually, neither of them cared.

Heimdall sent him to the rope ladder, "Do you still have the strength to climb up?"

Carlo tried it and nodded.

Heimdall said worriedly: "If you can't do it, don't be brave. Hold on to the rope ladder and wait here. I'll be here soon."

Although Carlo was exhausted, he was still able to move his mind, so he grabbed him, "Where are you going?"

"Don't worry, I'm just going to check, the golden egg hasn't been found yet." Heimdall was a little worried about the mermaid comrade who sacrificed himself for others.

As soon as Carlo heard the golden egg, he unconsciously let go of his hand. When he reacted and wanted to hold Heimdall, Heimdall had flexibly dived back and disappeared in an instant. Carlo, whose lips were purple from the cold, I can't think about it, I have to go back to report the letter, so I gritted my teeth and dragged the rope ladder to climb up.

At this time, Heimdall had already dived for a certain distance. Relying on the impression of the surrounding water scenery, he quickly touched the location surrounded by monsters just now, but the mermaid and monsters had disappeared.

Heimdall looked around for a while, and saw a shiny silver harpoon in a criss-cross mass of yellow-green aquatic plants. He guessed that this harpoon might belong to Comrade Mermaid. Judging from the situation, the freshwater mermaid will not drop the silver weapon unless it is absolutely necessary. No matter whether the freshwater mermaid is male or female, as long as they become adults and pass the rigorous test to become warriors, they can get a silver harpoon from the leader. Or short spears, the silver weapons used by mermaids are all inherited from their predecessors. They are a symbol of strength, spirit and ethnic strength. The mermaid lives with the silver fork, and the mermaid dies when the silver fork is broken.

As for the black harpoon nailed to the mast, it is just the most common weapon in the mermaid group, so I haven't thought of recycling it so far.

Thinking of this, Heimdall felt a little uneasy. If it was just a fight between a mermaid and a monster, he would naturally not care about it. Based on certain provisions of the Regulations on the Protection of Fantastic Beasts, this is a law of nature where the weak prey on the strong and humans cannot interfere. But Comrade Mermaid was caught in an accident because of Carlo's lonely fight, so Heimdall tore off the aquatic plants and pulled out the gleaming silver harpoon.

At this time, Heimdall felt that the air was not enough, and he didn't care about the position, so he hurried upstream to take a breath. When he came out of the water, he searched around the foggy lake, and vaguely saw the three-masted ship looming in the white mist not far away. , Heimdall dived underwater again holding the harpoon.

Due to the unfamiliar environment and being in the water, the physiological function is greatly restricted, and it is necessary to keep going up to take a breath, which has greatly affected the search work.

Heimdall was looking blindly while carefully avoiding those monsters. He tried his best to recall the knowledge about mermaids that Professor Ladiri explained in class. He really didn't think there was any use in learning about magical animals. It was all a hobby. It came in handy today.

As time went by, Heimdall found that there were more and more tentacle-armed monsters. Just now, when he passed through a clump of algae, he bumped into one head-on. At the same time, it was discovered that these monsters usually fought on their own except for certain times—for example, when they besieged the mermaid just now, they used group actions. He also carefully avoided a group fight with each other just now, which shows how brutal these monsters are in nature.

Are they approaching their old nest?Heimdall took the opportunity to swim up to the lake to take a breath, but found that the three-masted ship was completely invisible, struggled a little, and dived again.

If you are not impulsive, you are not a man!Heimdall said to himself, and then tightened the harpoon in his hand, feeling that he had gained infinite strength from it.

As we all know, the mermaid is quite xenophobic, and especially hates humans. Comrade mermaid can let go of traditional prejudices and insist on saving Carlo when his life is in danger. To be honest, Director Sturluson was moved by his selfless behavior.

Director Strulusson now wants to give Comrade Mermaid a thumbs-up, and praise him, "A real man!" But he is not sure whether it is Miss Mermaid or Mr. Mermaid.

Gently pushing aside the curtain-like water plants, Heimdall finally found Comrade Mermaid, who was being watched and molested by a group of monsters in a room-shaped stone cage. The Comrade Mermaid in the cage looked disheveled and embarrassed, with his head down, dying , although it is not beautiful according to the aesthetic standards of human beings, it will be even more difficult to see people after being tossed by those monsters.

This place may be the prison where monsters hold creatures that don't look pleasing to the eye. Heimdall looked around quietly and found many similar cages. They were either stacked together like matchboxes, or scattered here and there. There are quite a few of them. What makes Heimdall feel nervous is that there are only a pile of bones left in some cages. It seems that these monsters usually have feuds with other races, and the mermaid skeletons are the most numerous in them.

Heimdall also saw human-like skeletons, but these bones seemed to be very old, probably because they had been soaked in water for a long time, and the surface was covered with a layer of yellow-green sticky stuff, except that they could be vaguely recognized as human skeletons. I can't see the color clearly, and I can't test the age probably.

Heimdall moved forward little by little, and lay in ambush behind a stone cage. He found that apart from the nine monsters circling around the cage where the mermaid was held, there were very few other monsters in and out, mainly because the nine monsters seemed to be It is a fixed small group. Once other monsters are envious of mermaids and want to approach them, they will work together to drive them away. Just like what Heimdall discovered just now, these monsters are used to acting alone, and rarely group together, forming a fixed small group. After all, there were only a small number of people in the group, so naturally they couldn't fight against a team of nine alone. As time passed, other monsters didn't dare to confront them head-on.

Heimdall felt that the situation was very favorable to him, and he was afraid that others would attack him in groups. If he still had the ability to fight on land——Fantastic Beasts don't have magic wands, but now on other people's territory, it's hard to defend against open guns and hidden arrows , or a sneak attack is more reliable, and the nine monsters are so considerate of themselves, Heimdall decided to repay them with a big move, otherwise I am really sorry for their "understanding".

When the nine monsters had enough teasing and decided to share delicious food together, they suddenly found that their mouths could no longer be bitten, and their bodies were as stiff as stone like a cage in front of them, and the golden snake whip that made them frightened came out of nowhere Come out, nine of them are in a circle, they are pulled out of the original position in an instant, and bounced in a certain direction, the nine monsters screamed in horror, but unfortunately all the same kind around them were driven away by themselves , it will take a certain amount of time even if you hear the sound...

While these monsters were panicking, Heimdall blasted open the stone cage with a bombing explosion, and carried the mermaid out of the cage. The mermaid may not be used to direct contact with humans, struggling uneasy, and Heimdall pointed his wand at the eyes , I dare not move any more.

In fact, Heimdall wanted to treat it gently, but the problem was that there was not enough air, and he was holding his breath so hard that his eyes began to turn black, so he struggled to swim towards the lake, and the nine monsters that had recovered from their strength made piercing screams from their mouths. Heimdall didn't want to fight, but he couldn't stand the stalking. He didn't want to kill these animals, but the longer he dragged on, the longer he finally let go, twitching all over his body The mermaid covered her mouth and nose with her hands in pain, looking like she was about to faint.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the mermaid snatched back the harpoon from Heimdall, faced nine monsters head-on with one against nine, tried to prevent them from approaching, and then took the harpoon from a pocket on the dragon leather shoulder strap that was specially inserted into the harpoon. He took out a pearl-colored ball and handed it to Heimdall during the battle. Heimdall was already dizzy and lost the ability to think. Seeing that he had no response, the mermaid turned around and pulled away his hand covering his mouth. Then he forcefully opened his mouth and stuffed the pill into his mouth, probably afraid that he would resist subconsciously to spit out the pill, so he tightly covered his mouth.

Heimdall, who was about to fall into the endless darkness, was pulled back to his senses by a disgusting fishy smell and the bitterness erupting on the tip of his tongue. Indeed, just like what the mermaid was worried about, his first reaction was to take this smell again. I spit out the fishy and bitter taste, but after several struggles, I didn't spit out the disgusting taste, but swallowed it down the esophagus into my stomach.

The mermaid let go, and Heimdall, whose eyes were no longer darkened, saw those monsters attacking and biting it viciously like a hungry wolf. Seeing that he woke up, the mermaid shook the harpoon backhand, neither retreating nor dodging, bravely He continued to fight with the monsters that were biting him. At this moment, Heimdall admired its noble character and unyielding spirit.

Comrade Mermaid could throw himself to these monsters to gain time to escape, but just like saving Carlo just now, Comrade Mermaid not only didn't care about escaping, but saved his own life.

A rush of hot blood rushed through the limbs and bones, and rushed to the brain. He was still at the bottom of the icy lake, but the bitter chill suddenly dissipated like boiling water and snow. Think more.

The monster biting the mermaid's back suddenly let out a scream, like a balloon blown to the limit, it exploded with a bang, like a bottle of ink overturned in clear water, the monster's blood dyed the surrounding lake dark green .

All the movement freezes dramatically at that moment.

When a terrified cry sounded, the remaining eight monsters quickly dropped the mermaid, like eight frightened rabbits, left the battlefield in a panic and fled in all directions.

These monsters are ferocious in nature, and at the same time they are greedy for life and afraid of death. They are standard bullying and fearful of toughness. When they see a hard idea, they run away in a hurry.

Heimdall spat at the direction they were escaping from, turned his head, and saw the mermaid staring at him dumbfounded, Heimdall thought puzzled, what's wrong?Did I suddenly become handsome?

【you are not human? 】

Heimdall was furious when he heard that, "You are not human!"

Although the words came out of the mouth into a series of fuzzy notes, they were basically understandable, and the mermaid's expression straightened immediately, [I'm not a human in the first place. ] This time it was Heimdall's turn to be tongue-tied, "Can you speak human language?"

[I will speak a little bit, but what I am speaking now is our mermaid's own language. ] This mermaid seems to have no sense of humor at all, but think about it, what can a human being do if he appreciates a sense of humor?

Heimdall didn't speak, not that he couldn't speak, but that he finally discovered a change that he hadn't noticed all along. First, he could understand the chirping that he didn't understand before; second, he could breathe normally in the water; , at the bottom of the lake that was not so bright, Heimdall clearly saw that the back of his hand was covered with a layer of turquoise fine scales, and he hurriedly rolled up his sleeves. There were also ten fingers on his arms, and the fingertips of ten fingers still had sharp nails that made his hair stand on end. .

He touched his face hesitantly, his heart was suddenly dark——

Disfigured, to be abandoned.
