Chapter 638: Girl and the Sunken Ship
--ghost?
Vader had this thought subconsciously.
But it wasn't just any ghost that frequented the castle.
As the distance got closer, the figure suspended in the water seemed to be slowly rotating due to the influence of the water flow, until the front was completely facing Wade.
She was a girl who seemed to be only about ten years old. She had a very beautiful face, almost as pretty as Furong. Her body looked slender and soft, and she had an ethereal and strange aura of charm.
Wade felt that his violently beating heart was about to burst out of his chest. He distanced himself from the strange being, staring at it vigilantly while swimming upstream.
When the two were almost at the same height, the figure suddenly opened his eyes. His blue eyes were like stars and there was a strange smile on his pale face.
Wade's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
As we all know, ghosts are pearly white all over, including their blood, so it is impossible for them to have blue eyes.
He quickly swung his tail vigorously to float up quickly, while pointing his wand at the strange girl. The next second, his mind went blank, and it seemed that only the beautiful glowing figure remained in his vision.
The girl stretched out her fair arms and waved her hands gently, silently inviting him.
When she saw the mermaid transformed by the wizard gradually approaching her, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter, as beautiful as a bright moon appearing in deep water.
But beneath the robe, her lower body suddenly swelled and spread, and countless green water plants stretched out like tentacles, entwining the wizard's wrists and fish tail, dragging him deeper into the darkness.
The girl's soft arms also wrapped around him, her cold body pressed close to him, and she hugged the boy intimately like a lover. Her body swayed slightly and floated towards a huge shadow in the darkness.
In the dark lake, long silver hair and black hair are intertwined together, and the green water plants are like long ribbons, dancing, revealing the same pale faces of both of them.
Suddenly, a golden light seemed to flash in those empty gray eyes. The eyeballs moved slightly, and the slender fingers swayed in the water. They reached out with difficulty and touched the magic wand that was almost completely entangled by water plants.
He moved his lips and whispered:
"Achaias-Tomio!"
A few strings of bubbles passed by her ears. The girl turned her head curiously and happened to meet the wizard's eyes for a moment.
The next second, she suddenly felt a great sense of crisis and threw the wizard out with both hands, but it was too late!
Thousands of bright white beams burst out from the gaps between the water plants, like a miniature sun erupting directly in the dark deep water, cutting the lake bottom into countless swaying golden cages, and the light completely engulfed the girl's figure.
Wade closed his eyes tightly, crossed his arms in front of his face, and felt waves of burning pain all over his body.
The mermaid's body allowed him to move freely at the bottom of the lake, but at the moment, it also made him not completely immune to the power of the Daylight Spell.
He heard an extremely shrill scream, like broken glass scraping against his eardrums. The restraints on his body disappeared instantly, and the force that was dragging him completely left.
After a long while, the burning sensation in his body disappeared. Wade lowered his arms, quickly cast an armor spell, blinked his eyes, and it took a while for his vision to return to normal.
He waved his wand and a bright ball of light appeared again from underwater, illuminating the darkness.
Large patches of water plants were scattered around, slowly drifting away, and a faint blood color spread in the water.
The huge shadow that the girl wanted to drag him towards turned out to be a palace sunk in the water. Black seaweed was entangled on the huge pillars, and strange shadows were swaying behind the dark windows.
Suddenly, a pair of cold eyes appeared behind one of the windows. It was a monster with burns all over its body, its skin was red and black, and covered with large patches of bloody wounds, with several broken water plants wrapped around its body.
Its face was like a horse, with uneven silver-white mane, one eye was bleeding, and the other blue eye was staring at the wizard not far away with resentment.
Wade, who had wanted to avoid it before, did not dodge now. He floated in the water, stared coldly at the monster, and after a moment, raised his wand again.
The monster was startled and quickly disappeared from the window, and no one knew where it escaped to.
Wade put down his wand and waited for a moment before continuing to slowly rise.
The water pressure around us gradually eased, but the biting cold still lingered. Only the steep rock wall began to become less steep, and occasionally underwater caves or protruding horizontal rocks could be seen.
Wade saw an old wooden boat upside down at the bottom of the lake. The hull was covered with blue-gray algae, and a few light golden fish were swimming around it.
The oar was stuck obliquely in the nearby mud and sand, with only half of the wooden handle exposed, like a crooked tombstone.
As Vader swam closer, he saw a few letters carved into the wooden handle -
【God.】
"--god?"
Vader thought to himself, "Did this ship originally belong to a believer?"
The light of the fluorescent spell illuminated the mottled patterns on the bottom of the ship, and Wade discovered that although the hull of the ship looked tattered, the bottom was still intact.
Just like Durmstrang's big ship, it gives people a feeling of "although it is a ghost ship, it seems to be still usable."
Wade would naturally not pick up a broken boat from the bottom of the lake. When he found that the boat also gave him an inexplicable attraction, he accelerated and swam his tail a few times, swimming towards the lake surface above.
Finally, a faint light appeared in the lake water above his head. He was very close to the lake surface. Wade even saw a small blue fish (the mother lens used for filming) discovered him and swam over quickly, giving people a very anxious feeling.
Wade exhaled slowly, and instead of rushing to the surface, he swam in another direction.
The mermaid was very sensitive to changes in water flow, so he could sense that a battle seemed to be taking place not far ahead, and the lake water was disturbed violently.
After passing through a dense forest of aquatic plants, Wade suddenly saw a figure - Jabari, the contestant from Vagado, was struggling in the water with a catfish head on his head, trying with both hands to pull away the Grindylo that was wrapped around his neck.
But at this time, there were already more than a dozen Grindylows hanging on him.
These small green monsters had seven or eight tentacles and long, thin fingers. They strangled Jabari's neck, grabbed his arms and legs, and worked together to drag him deeper into the water.
Even though his head had turned into a catfish, Jabari was still weak and his hands and feet were cramping due to lack of oxygen. His wand had also fallen out of his hand and was slowly sinking to the bottom of the lake.
The reflection of something caught Vader's eyes.
Something like a dagger was tied to Jabari's belt and swayed in the water as he struggled.
