The Admiral of Hogwarts

"Finally, it's a victory." Looking at the ship girls celebrating on the sea, Hugo breathed a long sigh of relief.

Before coming here, he never imagined that the enemies he would encounter here would be so strong, that he would have to fight for a full fifteen minutes, even with so many ship girls under his command, to solve the problem.

After a brief celebration, the ship girls quickly began to examine the monster's corpse.

However, because the monster died suddenly, the wounds that had previously been blocked and glued together by the monster's dark green mucus all collapsed at once, so that the corpse fragments they finally found were less than 1/10 of the monster's previous living size.

"This monster was created with a huge investment based on the Kraken, and special adjustments were made specifically to counter various physical attacks."

Indomitable, as a professional, carefully examined it and said, "Moreover, the entire thing was created no more than 50 years ago—"

"Alright, Indomitable, I already know who made this thing." Before Indomitable could finish speaking, Saint George used a stick to pry open a few pieces of rotten flesh, and then took out a fist-sized golden sphere from it.

This golden sphere was inlaid with various gems that emitted magical power. At the same time, the magic array made of mithril on the golden sphere was still working, giving the entire sphere a disturbing aura of death.

This aura of death was so strong that the high-quality gun barrel that Saint George had just used to rummage through these things had become as rusty as if it had been soaked in seawater for a month after only a few seconds of contact.

Fortunately, Saint George directly covered her body with the power of holy light after realizing something was wrong, so she was now able to pick up the golden sphere as if she were holding an ordinary object.

"Look here." Saint George said, turning over one side of the golden sphere in her hand, and then pointing to an inscription on it.

"The symbol of the Deathly Hallows, which means that the person who killed and transformed the Kraken should be a Death Eater, and even Grindelwald himself may be the creator of this undead monster."

"Then the treasures here should be very precious." Warspite raised her hands in front of her chest and clenched her fists, while her eyes gleamed with excitement. "Think about it, the treasures guarded by such a powerful monster must be very valuable."

"This thing shouldn't just be used to guard Grindelwald's treasures." Enterprise said after thinking seriously for a moment.

"If that were the case, this thing should have increased its defense against magical attacks to avoid attacks from enemy wizards, instead of having such a strong defense against physical attacks as it does now, as if it were targeting us."

"This may be a special weapon that Grindelwald prepared for his plan to rule Muggles." Hugo said, recalling the information he knew from both of his lives.

"Think about it, if such a monster appeared on any coastline, it would cause huge casualties and bring intense panic, because ordinary people's armies would definitely not be able to stop it."

"Wizards can't either." Saint George shook her head and said, "This thing's inclination towards conventional physical defense doesn't mean that it's weak in magical defense. Even wizards can't do anything about this thing before they gather their forces."

"Therefore, for Grindelwald back then, he could completely command this monster to suddenly attack those coastal or even river cities, and then escape along the river or sea before the main force of the wizards arrived."

After marveling at Grindelwald's plan back then, the ship girls began to scout the only uninvestigated volcanic crater on the island.

As everyone had guessed, after the ship girls used radar to scout this dormant volcanic crater, they discovered a hidden cave covered by cooled lava.

After easily opening the cave with the weapons in their hands, a smell of sulfur, accompanied by a large amount of high-temperature dust and water vapor, poured out of the cave.

At first, everyone thought that it was caused by the explosion just now, but after waiting for a long time, Hugo and the ship girls unexpectedly discovered that these water vapors not only did not dissipate, but remained in that form.

"This thing isn't a lava tube of the volcano, is it?" Hugo asked in a low voice. In his impression, after a volcanic eruption, a large number of spaces and tubes often appear inside the volcano.

"No, this should be artificial." After losing two planes, Enterprise roughly figured out the situation in the cave. "After going thirty or forty meters deep into the cave, I saw a lot of artificial traces."

Since there were artificial traces, then this was very likely the place that Grindelwald left behind back then. So after a simple discussion, Saint George and Indomitable, fully armed, walked in.

After entering the cave, Saint George and the others went down along the cave. And on the cave walls, they found a thick layer of salt crust.

"It seems that there is a passage to the sea here." Indomitable's voice rang in the admiral's network. "The temperature in the cave is very high, about 60 degrees Celsius. At the same time, a large amount of water vapor is generated because it is connected to the sea."

"And the salt on the surrounding stone walls should be condensed on the walls after the seawater evaporates, and this process may have taken a long time, so that it can form a salt crust about a palm thick."

"We found it—" Just as Indomitable was explaining science, Saint George also found the target they were looking for. This target was located on the side of the cave wall, and was covered with a thick salt crust like other places.

But obviously, these simple deceptions could not deceive the ship girls with radar and sonar.

After directly smashing open the cave wall, Indomitable and Saint George passed through this door located on the side of the cave. Then, the scene in front of them suddenly opened up.

Because what appeared in front of the two ship girls was a huge underground space, which looked about two hundred meters long, and about twenty meters wide and high.

According to the size of this giant tunnel, it can be calculated that this wide tunnel directly enters below the sea surface, so the heat in the tunnel outside is naturally swept away by the coolness created by the cold sea water.

Not far from the entrance of the cave, some silver threads were inlaid on the wall to form the symbol of the Deathly Hallows, and below the symbol, the Gothic German font read "For the Greater Good."

"It's really crazy, even for wizards." Looking at the sound and pictures transmitted synchronously through the admiral's network, Hugo sighed in a low voice.

Because most of this giant cave, except for a very small section at the entrance, was artificially excavated. Considering that this is a chaotic magic zone, this amount of engineering is definitely not small for wizards.

What shocked him even more was that a four- or five-meter-wide stone road stretched all the way from under Saint George and the others' feet into the depths of the cave, and on both sides of the road, there was a green bronze street lamp full of green patina every 10 meters.

Behind the street lamps are two- or three-story small buildings uniformly built of stone. Lines were also specially carved on the walls to make the whole house look no different from those brick houses outside.

Although the interior area of these rooms is slightly smaller than that of ordinary rooms because the walls and ceilings of these rooms are all built of whole stones, other than that, they are not very different from similar buildings outside.
