The Dark Lord at Hogwarts is not too cold
196. The Sirens and the Fountain of Youth
The leading siren is very old, her eyes are white, and the eyeballs are sunken into the sockets...
The trident supported her body and moved out little by little. The Fountain of Youth gathered above the arched stone gate, forming another stream of water falling in the middle.
Everyone was shocked by Siren's operation.
"The function of the Fountain of Youth... is logically impossible." Will saw that the mermaids seemed to be performing some kind of weird ritual, "There is no real immortality in this world."
"We just took the cup, there is no malice," Captain Locke reassured both parties.
"Whoa...what kind of joke are you talking about, that you have gone through all kinds of hardships just to take away the cup?" The siren was obviously amused, "Look...look, the mermaid is ready, how about you?"
A large number of skeletons remained in the surrounding mounds or ravines. The skulls were washed smooth by the water flow, which was very inconsistent with the surrounding mossy environment.
Clean and white!The degree of smoothness can be described as 'holy'.
Shirley Angelica saw the bone closest to the Fountain of Youth at a glance. The clothes on it were already tattered, but she could barely see her identity before birth.
"So many people... how many people are going to die today?" The old siren smiled with a gloomy face.
When the girl Siren curled up holding her naked body, a Siren soldier beside her scratched her arm with the tip of a halberd, and blood flowed out.
"Wait!" Hermione yelled.
Expelliarmus (expelliarmus!)
With a flash of red light, the trident broke away from the hands of the two siren soldiers and was caught by the two tall sailors beside Captain Locke. This incident caused the rest of the sirens to boil.
Cyrus raised his left hand, grasped it, and pulled it back, all their weapons were disarmed by the Force.
"Two wizards...we offer mermaid tears for this~" She knocked on the only trident, signaling the rest of the sirens to be quiet, "What else do you want?"
The siren's only means are gone, they can only sacrifice a mermaid for this.
"Life? Wealth? Or... a living mermaid?" She moved her tail vigorously, and came to Cyrus and Hermione, "We don't care anymore, but... the Fountain of Youth is life for life! "
The sirens have made their choice, but what about humans?
Cyrus could now see the ancient siren leader more clearly, her neck stretched out, her skin wrinkled, her messy hair looking very slippery, like an old woman soaked in sea water.
The Fountain of Youth does not mean that if you drink it, you will not grow old, it just transfers the remaining life of one person to another person.
In this way, even if some ships pass through the sea of death, not too many people can survive in the last level, and life... will make the remaining people start killing each other.
But the times have changed. This alternative way of immortality makes everyone present disgusted, and no one can step out of the bottom line in their hearts without pressure.
"But we're not interested in this..." Cyrus glanced at the trembling girl, "Now that the Holy Grail is in hand, we're going to leave"
"Oh? Others don't necessarily think so"
The siren looked around at the rest of the people, and they all seemed to have some resistance to this 'fountain of youth', and they were mostly observing the appearance of the other sirens and the place where their bodies and fish tails were connected.
Needless to say, Captain Locke, Will has only the Holy Grail in his heart, and Shirley is looking for those skeletons, and the sailors who were born and died together will not kill each other.
Everything seemed to have nothing to do with what she imagined.
"Pfft, what you say is really like a priest." She was still a little disdainful, "But it's a pity, you have to drink the fountain of youth... If you want to leave, you have to accept the test"
The curse of the sea is that they once let a witch set it... She is the god of the sea, and Jones' love... So the sirens lived here because of their hatred, and then they lived here for generations.
"What if I destroy this place?"
"Destroy?" The siren waved his hand, motioning to take the girl away, "If you can do it...no one knows what magic that witch set up"
It was a powerful witch in the Middle Ages. Legend has it that she could hear the will of the ocean. She was called "Calypso", but her soul was divided into nine equal parts.
Cyrus and Hermione always felt a little familiar.
"You're not the first to be uninterested in this, but some things are bound to pay" The old siren retreated, less hostile.
The moment they entered the Fountain of Youth in Bimini, the entire island had been sunk to the bottom of the sea, swallowed by the sea, and they had to either accept the test or die, or... exchange their lives for their lives.
She went on to say: "I will still follow the tradition. If you pass the test, we will escort you to leave; if not, your life will let the rest of you leave."
The entire Fountain of Youth ceremony is based on 'life for life'.
"Wizard...you choose." The old siren said unhurriedly, "Blame, blame your ancestors."
Perhaps this is unfair to human beings, but for the mermaids who survived that year, only the same amount of blood can sacrifice the souls of the clansmen.
As she spoke, she filled the golden cup with water from the spring from top to bottom.
"Either share it and face it together...or, be thorough"
The words of the old siren finally had an effect. Some people began to make judgments and began to choose who to test. The sailors turned their attention to Will.
"Wait...wait! This job is also for you... I don't know"
"Forget it... let's go!" The three sailors who almost died in the sea spat and threw off their hats. "Without the two of them, I would have died long ago."
Captain Locke opened his mouth, trying to stop them, but looked at Hermione and held back.
if not?How should I say it?Let two 23-year-old children replace their group of middle-aged people?How can Captain Locke face Mr. Granger.
Hermione strode forward, the force lightning slowly cracked the ground, the current climbed all the way along the crack, entangled and tore the fountain of youth, but with the influx of water, the arch healed again.
"Drinking the Fountain of Youth, you will be guided to the end of the world." Shirley lay on the ground, squinting her eyes, intermittently reading the words engraved on the steps, "The tears of a mermaid are the continuation of life..."
"Tears are the medium, Calypso guides the soul"
Perhaps it was carved by someone who had survived, and there is still a sharpened stone in the middle of a hand bone.
"Whispering... Is it possible that Calypso can still compete with the God of Death?" Cyrus pushed away the crowd, took the gold cup, and immediately drank more than half of it.
A wizard's soul is free.
Cyrus has already understood the process of this ceremony, he can plug this loophole, because Cyrus' soul is uncontrollable, as long as Calypso's ceremony can be triggered, everyone will be safe and sound.
After all, the sea monster Calypso could not have imagined that there would be such an alternative existence.
But Hermione panicked. She used force to push away Uncle Locke's obstruction, grabbed Cyrus' wrist under the unexpected eyes of everyone, and poured the rest of the fountain of youth.
Strange things happened.
The water accumulated in the gullies and pools all gathered together, enveloping the two of them, and the rapid rushing and white waves made it impossible for people to see the scene inside clearly.
"You...I'm fine!" Cyrus was dumbfounded when he saw Hermione coming.
Originally, as long as the ceremony started, it represented the safety of Locke and the others. All that remained was to wait for his soul to return from the 'end of the world'.
But Hermione's sudden arrival made the boy a little anxious.
"Are you stupid?" Even in the water prison, Hermione did not forget to teach her orange cat a lesson, "What if Calypso forces you to stay?!"
Hermione was ready for the big battle.
The goddess of the sea and the split soul are not good things at first glance! !
The pressure of the water waves squeezed out the souls of the two, and before Hermione could see Captain Locke's expression clearly, they were pulled into the vast white land.
It's like a salt lake dried by the sun, only white...and white pebbles.
"Hermione..."
At this moment, Cyrus found that Hermione's soul was gone. The cold sea breeze made him dizzy, and he felt a little nauseous. In the endless 'end of the world', Hermione was at the other end.
He rubbed it and wiped off the frost that had condensed on the window, only to see a woman in black robe standing in front of him.
"Hello~ I am Calypso...young wizard"
The trident supported her body and moved out little by little. The Fountain of Youth gathered above the arched stone gate, forming another stream of water falling in the middle.
Everyone was shocked by Siren's operation.
"The function of the Fountain of Youth... is logically impossible." Will saw that the mermaids seemed to be performing some kind of weird ritual, "There is no real immortality in this world."
