The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Black Lake is a lake with very rich products.

There are not only fish and water plants in it, but also shrimps and clams. In late spring and early summer every year, Hogwarts students can harvest a lot of shrimps and clams by just picking and fishing by the lake.

This is also a nature reserve designated by the Ministry of Magic for freshwater mermaids.

Of course, the causal relationship here is not that the rich products here are distributed to the mermaids.

In fact, on the contrary, it is precisely because of the arrival of the mermaids that this huge lake can bloom with life.

After all, mermaids are also an intelligent race.

Although they are extremely tall, half fish and half beast, their smooth skin is a strange dark green and iron gray color, their mouths are full of sharp teeth, and they have a ferocious appearance, they do not have the beauty and temptation of the legendary mermaids at all.

But they are not as ordinary people imagine, they are just like the humans living on the ground, they also know how to farm and herd.

The only difference is that they plant aquatic plants and stock fish and shrimps.

They even built many strange stone houses at the bottom of the Black Lake for their living.

Link used the wings formed by the power of the curse to swim very fast in the lake. Along the way, he had seen many aquatic grass fields and mermaid buildings planted by mermaids, and even mermaid shepherds who herded fish.

From a human perspective, Link had to admit that the mermaids managed this black lake quite well.

To be honest, none of this scenery is surprising in Link's eyes.

Because he has been here too many times.

Previously, as soon as he and Arkham came to the bottom of the lake, the mermaids would be very polite, or in other words, very scared.

Then they scattered.

There is no way, neither the wizard nor the basilisk can be dealt with by these mermaids.

They were afraid that Link and Arkham would destroy their aquatic plants and fish schools, and they were even more afraid that Link would harm themselves.

From eternity, wizards have never seen a creature like a mermaid. The wanton killing of non-human races and taking and asking for anything will not put any psychological burden on wizards at all.

After carrying out this cruel behavior for thousands of years, the wizard stuffed the remaining mermaids into various protected areas.

The reason for doing this is not because the wizards discovered their conscience, but because the wizards suddenly discovered that the planet was already a little overwhelmed.

Therefore, after experiencing such a tragic history, the fear of wizards was naturally engraved into the mermaids' DNA.

But today is a little different.

These timid mermaids in the past did not run away after seeing Link this time. Instead, they raised their crudely made stone harpoons.

Their bodies were still trembling, and their expressions were distorted by excessive fear.

But they still gathered together and pointed the harpoon at Link.

This puzzled Link.

At first he didn't pay attention to these mermaids who suddenly went crazy, but when the number of mermaids chasing him reached an astonishing number of nearly a hundred, Link was finally forced to stop.

"What do you mean?"

Link spoke slowly and clearly in English.

He hoped that this group of mermaids could understand him and come out to explain to him.

It's best if everyone can sit down and resolve the matter peacefully. After all, he has more important things to do.

It's a pity that the lowest farmers and herdsmen among this group of mermaids have not yet learned English, a language of other races.

This group of mermaids armed with crude weapons and in a contradictory state of fear and courage were still charging towards him.

The first to reach Link were dozens of Grindylows.

This is a disgusting green water monster with long horns.

Their upper bodies are basically human-shaped, with extremely long fingers and sharp nails.

The lower body is similar to an octopus, with many tentacles with suckers.

Generally speaking, their clan has been completely tamed by mermaids, and they have become the mermaids' guardians and shepherds, similar to dogs.

They are not difficult to deal with. Professor Lupine gave a detailed introduction to them last year. Basically, any little wizard over the age of 3 can get rid of them by casting a magic spell.

But even this kind of weak water monster cannot be underestimated when gathered together.

Link stared at the mighty Grindylows in front of them, without any hesitation. The red light of the wand in his hand flashed, and the brown-red light broke through the water flow.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

This type of regular damage spell is not very fast in the water and shows an obvious trajectory.

Fortunately, the Grindylows didn't know what dodge was, so the red light finally got into their ranks.

Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions sounded from the team.

This red light is like a ricochet, constantly bouncing between Grindylows. If it doesn't get into the body of a Grindylow, the poor little guy will explode with a 'bang', powerful The kinetic energy will explode it and the nearby Green Drops into a piece of dark green flesh and blood, and then the red light will reappear to find the next victim until the energy within it is exhausted.

So what if the energy is just exhausted?

Link did not stop his attack. In just ten seconds, he still threw no less than 5 thunderbolt explosions at the enemy group.

These red lights representing death kept flashing in the Grindylow, and in a short time all the Grindylows were killed.

The dark green flesh and blood remains were scattered all over the world by the water flow stirred up by the explosion, which directly caused the clear water to become turbid.

If the blood of these Grindylows is red, then Link believes that the cruel scene in front of him will definitely make any witness with a tough mind tremble. A weaker guy may have nightmares when he goes back.

The blood of mermaids is also green, so when they saw the scene in front of them, they felt like what Link had guessed above.

But even though they were frightened and almost collapsed by the sight in front of them, they still continued to charge towards Link.

"These guys are really crazy."

Link murmured, but his men continued to move, and several thunderbolt explosion curses whizzed away.

It's a pity that the mermaids are stronger and smarter than Grindylow.

Having learned their lesson, they had already made evasive movements as neatly as a school of fish in the sea the moment the red light appeared, avoiding the danger.

But it makes no sense.

Taking advantage of their opportunity to evade, Link had already controlled a pair of cursed wings to attack suddenly.

The wand in his hand bloomed with terrifying purple light, just like a baton. The huge power of the curse spread from it as it danced up and down, turning into a tumbling blade that kept cutting among the mermaids.

It was a one-sided massacre.

Even though Link had already rushed into the circle of mermaids alone.

But the crude harpoons of the mermaids could not reach Link, who was blessed by the Cursed Wings.

On the contrary, wherever Link goes, death spreads.

The twisting and entangled curse power around him was like a rolling wall of knives, and any mermaid who dared to stand in front of him would be chopped into pieces.

Even if occasionally one or two lucky mermaids rely on the sacrifice of their companions and rush to Link with all their might, those fangs and claws that they were proud of in the past cannot tear open the armor protection spell that Link built with magic power.

In just 10 minutes, a large number of broken corpses of mermaids were floating around Link, and the green blood of the mermaids had even completely dyed the water green.

Neither Link nor the mermaid showed the slightest surprise at the current situation.

Because this is originally the normal behavior of wizards when facing other races.

Wizards are the most terrifying group of people on the planet!

This famous quote from the legendary Archmage Merlin is no joke!

But even though the battle was so tragic, those mermaids still refused to retreat.

There are even more mermaids in the distance who are constantly joining this battlefield, which can be called a flesh and blood grinding mill. As a result, even though Link has been killing for so long, there are still no fewer enemies around him.

Things have reached this point, no matter how slow Link is, he has already noticed that something is wrong.

Because the behavior of the mermaids in front of him didn't look like they wanted to kill him at all, but more like they wanted to delay his progress and use their own lives.

Especially after there were many blue-skinned mermaids among the mermaids who attacked him, he became even more vigilant.

Because these blue-skinned mermaids are ocean mermaids.

The Black Lake is living water. Its structure is actually similar to the famous Loch Ness. There are many caves underneath it, which lead directly to the underground water layer and connect to the sea.

This is also the reason why the ghost ship of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry can reach Hogwarts directly through the Black Lake.

Therefore, the appearance of ocean mermaids in the black lake is not difficult to understand. After all, although ocean mermaids do not like fresh water, they can still live in fresh water for several days.

But the question is, the ocean mermaid is here, does that mean there are other unknown forces sneaking into the Black Lake?

The first thing Link thought of was Voldemort.

This old guy's power is obviously larger than in the original work, and he has clearly participated in the Triwizard Tournament.

The purpose is to resurrect Voldemort.

And Black Lake is a good time to start.

As long as Voldemort's men operate correctly, it would be a simple matter to kidnap Harry Potter in the Black Lake.

If this is really the case, then Link can no longer stay here.

This is not easy. After all, even with the existence of Cursed Wings, he cannot move faster than the mermaid in the water, so it is difficult to escape pursuit.

But fortunately, he has other means.

Link's thinking only lasted less than ten seconds. During this period, there were about ten more mermaid corpses around him.

Having made up his mind, Link no longer hesitated and blew the wooden whistle hanging around his neck.

The sound of the wooden whistle was not sharp, but rather dull and extremely penetrating. It created layers of ripples in the water and continued to spread into the distance.

Not long after, another similar muffled sound came from the distance, seemingly in response to the whistle.

Link smiled slightly when he saw this, flapped his cursed wings and sped away in the direction of the sound.

Behind him were a large group of screaming and roaring mermaids.

Link walked and fought, and after walking forward for 10 minutes, he finally saw the horse-shaped water monster Hagrid mentioned in a field of aquatic plants planted by mermaids.

It is nearly 5 meters long, covered with a large amount of water plants, barely forming the shape of a horse, and its huge head looks like a fire dragon's head, extremely ferocious.

Seeing Link coming with a group of mermaids behind him, the horse-shaped water monster was not afraid at all. It continued to make a muffled sound and stopped in place with its neck raised.

According to its past experience, the human who blew the whistle would obediently come over and offer it delicious barbecue.

For the sake of roasting meat, it will also touch this human twice as a reward.

But the human being here today is particularly pleasing to the eye. If the roast meat is given to him in large quantities, he might even carry him around for a while.

This is the greatest reward that pride can give.

As for the mermaid and horse-shaped water monster following behind the man in front of him, he didn't take it to heart at all.

In this black lake, it is the second most powerful predator after the giant squid. Its combat power is so strong that no mermaid dares to offend it at all.

It's a pity that the barbecue it was looking forward to today is not available.

Link had no intention of getting close to this horse-shaped water monster from the beginning. This was simply impossible at this critical moment.

So he planned to do it hard.

"boom!"

As the Cursed Wings flapped, the mighty water flow carried Link directly to the top of the horse-shaped water monster.

Immediately afterwards, Link sat down on the horse-shaped water monster's broad back, and casually grabbed two water plants on the horse-shaped water monster's head as reins.

"drive!"

Link shouted fiercely, and at the same time, the powerful pressure given by the title of 'Dragon Slayer Warrior' was exerted on the horse-shaped water monster.

Regrettably, this coercion can only have the greatest effect on the fire dragon. Facing the horse-shaped water monster, it can only make the opponent feel slightly afraid.

This only made the horse-shaped water monster furious.

It is said to be a water monster, but the horse-shaped water monster is essentially a wild horse living in rivers.

It is extremely proud, even to the point of giving up freedom or death.

Link's behavior clearly angered it.

Almost instantly, all the water plants on its body twisted and danced crazily towards Link, trying to strangle Link alive and then eat it.

It was also constantly charging randomly, trying to knock Link away. During this period, it also hit and killed several mermaids that were chasing after it.

But it was all in vain.

Link had already turned the Cursed Wings into two big hands, firmly grasping the horse-shaped water monster's head.

Other curse powers tightly wrapped around Link's body, resisting the attacks of the water plants.

This means that no matter how much the kelpie makes trouble, it can't get rid of Link.

And seeing that his dragon-slaying warrior's coercion failed, Link was not disappointed.

After all, as of now, the horse-shaped water monster's speed has increased.

Link could swear that this was definitely the fastest speed he had ever experienced in his entire life.

The horse-shaped water monster's full speed in the water was even faster than that of a firebolt, and the water was so rough when it moved that other creatures similar to the mermaid pursuers could not get close at all.

The only problem is that the kelpie is spinning around like a headless fly.

This is actually easy to solve.

The corners of Link's mouth raised slightly, and two big hands transformed from the power of the curse forcibly straightened the horse-shaped water monster's head, causing it to gallop in the direction Link expected.

At the same time, a golden whip of light extended from the tip of Link's staff, and struck the horse-shaped water monster's penis hard.

"Boom!~"

In pain, the horse-shaped water monster let out a roar that hurt the eardrums, and then ran even faster.
