The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 332 Mermaid Girl

This upgrade of the continuous mantra didn't actually give Link too many surprises.

He was very familiar with the Suman Curse, the first magic wand he had mastered when he traveled to this world.

The abilities gained after upgrading are nothing more than the ability to increase the casting range, increase the spell strength, and cast the refilling spell regardless of the restriction of "requiring a container".

Among them, the last one really improves Link's combat effectiveness.

This resulted in Link almost gaining the ability to freely control and create liquids.

He just thought for a moment and developed a super-speed water jet and a derivative method of ice control based on the principles of Muggle water jet machines and flowing water cooling.

But the truly terrifying attack method is to directly pour water into the enemy's body to cause damage.

Link often used this move in the past, but as a general tool spell, the flying speed of this spell is too slow, and its penetrating ability is too poor. It can be blocked by just placing any defensive spell. down, so I didn’t use it much later.

But after being promoted to level 6 with the Renewal Curse, these restrictions no longer exist, and Link naturally feels that he can put this method back into his primary attack method in the future.

After all, this kind of killing method that seems extremely weird to outsiders was simply born for assassination.

However, the above methods of use were actually expected by Link earlier. What really surprised Link was that he was shocked to find that the power of curse can be used in combination with the power of water control.

There are even some signs of moderate fusion between these two forces.

Of course, this is also an unexpected discovery made by Link. It is still in the exploratory stage, and there is still a long way to go to develop a method that can be used in actual combat in the short term.

The smell of the burned-to-white 'hidden room' was really horrible.

So after experimenting and summarizing his newly acquired abilities, Link immediately switched the room in the Room of Requirement to the 'nature reserve mode' used for daily rest, released Arkham and Yo-Yo and let them follow a few Tousgar was having fun, while he put on a blindfold and curled up in a recliner to sleep.

He slept all afternoon and didn't wake up until late in the evening.

To be precise, Link should have been woken up by a peck.

The culprit was none other than Phoenix Fox, who was standing proudly on his chest.

"Oh!"

Seeing that Link finally woke up, Fox spread his wings happily.

Arkham and Yo-Yo also came over, first greeted Phoenix Fox affectionately, and then stared directly at Link.

They are hungry.

"Okay, okay, I'll serve you a meal right now."

Link stood up with difficulty, stuffed two 'hairy coconuts' into Yo-Yo, and gave Arkham a beef thigh. Then he turned his attention again to Phoenix Fox, who was watching Arkham and the others eating with curiosity. .

"Dumbledore asked you to inform me of the meeting, right?"

Link, who had not yet completely recovered, said softly.

He was not surprised at all that Dumbledore could find him. How could someone like the headmaster of Hogwarts not know what was going on in the Room of Requirement?

If I didn’t say it before, it was most likely just acquiescence.

When Fox heard this, he flapped his wings and screamed again, and nodded happily.

Looking at Fox's appearance, Link suddenly thought of the jar of Phoenix Tears that Dumbledore took out last night.

God knows how Dumbledore exploited and tortured Fawkes to save so many tears!

"Poor little fellow."

Link said with pity on his face, and touched the 'dumb hair' on Fox's head as he spoke, "How about you follow me from now on? Stop working for that bad old man Dumbledore."

"ah?"

The sweet humming sounded again.

Phoenix Fox tilted his head, a very human expression of confusion appeared on his face, as if he was saying to Link, 'I can't understand human speech, what are you going to say? '.

Link was stunned for a moment when he saw this. Fox's IQ was obviously higher than he thought, and he could even master the advanced skill of pretending to be stupid.

But even if poaching failed, he was not angry. He touched Fox's head again and said:

"Okay, I won't fool you anymore, just take me there quickly."

Sure enough, now Fox could understand human speech again, he fluttered his wings directly, and the flames on his body quickly enveloped Link, and then the man and the bird quickly disappeared, leaving only Arkham and the others who were still concentrating on cooking. .

……

In a small secret room next to the principal's office at Hogwarts, Dumbledore, Maxim, Karkaroff and other judges for the Triwizard Tournament, as well as Moody and Snape, two of Dumbledore's right-hand men, were gathered around. Sitting at a long dining table.

The only lighting equipment in the room was the candles standing in the center of the dining table, so the surroundings looked very dim.

Under the illumination of the fire, the silent people in this circle looked particularly gloomy.

In fact, they were indeed not in a good mood.

Dumbledore suddenly notified them to attend a small banquet today, but they have been there for almost an hour now, and the banquet has not started yet.

Looking at his current appearance, Dumbledore was clearly waiting for someone.

This is a bit too much!

You must know that the people who came to the banquet today are all big shots, and usually others are waiting for them!

"Gollum!"

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere at the scene, Bagman swallowed. He felt that someone was about to explode.

Realizing this, Bagman forced a smile and looked at Dumbledore, who was also smiling.

He was about to say something to lighten the mood.

But before he could speak, a bright flame suddenly shot out from behind Dumbledore.

Then, Link, carrying Phoenix Fox on his shoulders, appeared in front of everyone.

"Oh! It's a dinner party!"

Link walked out of the flames with a smile on his face.

As soon as he saw the arrangement, he knew that Dumbledore wanted to discuss something at the dinner table.

To be honest, this kind of thing is really rare in places like Europe and the United States, where the 'table discussion culture' is not very strong.

"Link, are you resting well?" Dumbledore's smile became even brighter, and he even waved his hand to help Link open his chair and motioned for him to sit down in his seat.

Link would naturally not be polite about this.

"Now that everyone is here, let's have a banquet!"

Dumbledore gave an order, and hot food finally appeared on the plates in front of everyone.

Then Dumbledore patted Link's shoulder with great enthusiasm and said:

"Link, you need to eat more. Today's appetizer is cream pumpkin soup specially prepared for you."

"It's true! Thank you, Principal Dumbledore!"

After sleeping all afternoon, Link was already starving, so he immediately turned on the cooking mode.

Dumbledore next to him looked at Link eating with a smile, as if he was already full.

When they saw this, Maxim and Karkaroff's expressions became even more embarrassing.

They really didn't expect that the person who kept them waiting for nearly an hour would be a junior like Link!

This is simply an insult to them!

Ever since, a strange scene appeared.

In the entire small secret room, only Link was feasting, while the rest of the people were staring at him with different expressions.

"Cough cough!"

Karkaroff finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He coughed twice and wanted to criticize Dumbledore and Link a few words, so as to save the face he had lost and gain some benefits at the same time.

But the next moment, Link, who was still working on the meal, frowned and said:

"Principal Karkaroff, we are still eating, why don't you cough behind someone's back? How rude!"

After saying that, Link pushed forward the half-eaten butternut squash soup, as if he was really disgusted by Karkaroff and couldn't eat anymore.

"you!"

Karkaroff was so angry that his long face turned red for a moment, but he couldn't speak because he was wrong. He could only point a trembling finger at Link.

"Hehehe!"

Link was not afraid at all and looked at him with a sneer.

His current Legilimency Spell has almost reached level 4, and the hostility in the hearts of Karkaroff and his gang cannot be hidden from him at all.

Maxim beside him shook his head helplessly.

What she was thinking in her heart was similar to that of Karkaroff. The reason why she didn't speak just now was because she wanted Karkaroff to be the leader.

But the end result was very bad, Karkaroff was too stupid.

She straightened up. Due to her figure and the light, this directly caused her whole person to look more majestic and solemn, which naturally attracted the attention of other people at the table.

"Albus, why did you summon us here today?"

Maxim said directly.

Dumbledore said with a smile on his face:

"Of course it's for the third project of the Triwizard Tournament. After so long of planning, the Ministry of Magic and I have already made a preliminary plan. I would like to discuss it with you again."

"In that case, why is Link here? If you think it is necessary for him as a warrior to participate in today's discussion, then why are Fleur and the other warriors not here?

Dumbledore, are you deliberately favoring the warriors of your school? "

Maxim narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.

In fact, she had already guessed today's topic, and the reason why she asked it knowingly was to elicit the passage just now.

This is also the most dissatisfying point.

In her opinion, Dumbledore was completely shameless!

At this time, Karkaroff on the side finally reacted and hurriedly agreed:

"Yes! That's right! You have to give us an explanation!"

Dumbledore didn't speak. He wasn't even looking at Maxim and Karkaroff. Instead, he focused his gaze on Link.

Link also didn't listen to Maxim's speech because he discovered something more interesting.

In addition to the few people he knew well, there seemed to be a strange guest at today's banquet.

That is a beautiful mermaid girl!

The other party has snow-white skin that is very different from ordinary mermaids, and has long, smooth and shiny black hair. She is wearing a beautiful dress composed of seaweed gems and pearl shells. She looks sweet, far superior to the mermaid in the bathroom portrait.

The most important thing is that there is a rare innocence in her pair of gleaming eyes.

The moment they looked into each other's eyes, Link felt his heartbeat stopped for a beat.

"Well!"

Link couldn't help but sigh softly.

He was a little curious about how the mermaid appeared in the land castle of Hogwarts. Could it be that her fish-tail-shaped lower body was immersed in a large fish tank?

Link wasn't sure about this.

Because he found that the beautiful mermaid girl seemed to be very short of water at this moment.

I saw her holding a large water bottle and drinking constantly, and from time to time she would pour some on herself to keep herself moist.

This approach directly caused the ground and walls around her to be in a mess and full of water stains.

The other guests also stayed away, as if they were afraid of being splashed by the water she spilled.

How could Link, who claimed to be a gentleman, see the girl in trouble? He stretched out his hand and gently touched it, and a thick mist instantly enveloped the mermaid girl.

The mermaid girl was shocked by this sudden change, but she looked at Link almost instantly, and then gave Link a smile.

Link fell into a brief state of trance again. He felt that the mermaid girl's smile seemed to have a magical power that even Occlumency could not resist, prompting him to want to contact her.

At this moment, Dumbledore's voice suddenly sounded.

"Wow, how did you do that?"

Link glanced at him angrily, pretending to be nonchalant and said:

"Just a little magic, no big deal."

"is it?"

Dumbledore looked at the water mist gathering around the mermaid girl and whispered meaningfully, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Then he said to Maxim:

“Sorry, Olim, I just got distracted.

Regarding your question, I can definitely answer you.

The reason why Link can appear here and participate in our discussion about the third project is not because of his status as a warrior, but because the Foley family, as the trustees of Hogwarts, will provide support for this third project. The project provides security services outside Hogwarts, and Link is here on behalf of the Foley family. "

Dumbledore's explanation is not reasonable at all in a strict sense, and there are too many things that can be argued with.

But Maxim closed his mouth after hearing this and just glanced at Harry with a complicated expression.

She was not a fool, so she could naturally see how exquisite the wandless and silent fog-making move that Link had just performed was.

This made her irresistibly think of Link's use of the power of the curse.

What Link doesn't know is that his ability to control attribute magic at will is actually an important symbol of legendary wizards like Dumbledore and Voldemort, and is also the biggest bottleneck for ordinary wizards who want to advance to legend.

Link is still far from a legend in terms of magical power, but a discerning person like Maxim knows that the biggest stone blocking his path has actually long since disappeared.

Moreover, at such a young age, Link seems to have mastered another path to freely control liquid magic.

Is this really still human?

Maxim not only issued the most profound exclamation!
