Chapter 138 Mermaid Village

Kanaloa floated quietly above the village, its huge figure almost covering most of the village.

Fish lay on its tentacles and looked down. Probably because it was under the water, there were no obvious roads in the entire mermaid village. Almost the same stone dwellings were built haphazardly at the bottom of the lake.

The only place with a sense of order is a square in the center of the village, surrounded by a large number of stone dwellings.

In the square, there is a tall mermaid statue. Like those houses, it is also carved from stone.

However, both the statues and the houses looked very rough. It was obvious that the carving skills of the mermaids were not very good.

In addition, there are garden-like facilities next to a few small dwellings, which are probably the residences of higher-status beings among mermaids.

There are also one or two strange humanoid creatures with light green bodies and horns tied to the door of some dwellings. Their fingers are very long. At this time, they are all lying on the door and sleeping soundly.

This weird creature is called Grindylow, a kind of devil living in fresh water. However, Fish doesn’t know what they are called yet, but from their current state, Fish can roughly guess that they should be similar to Dogs raised by humans are pretty much the same.

The mermaids seemed to have the same schedule as humans, so when Kanaloa arrived, they were all still asleep.

However, those Grindylows who were tied to the door seemed to feel the waves caused by Kanaloa's swimming. They opened their eyes in a daze, and then looked up to see Kanaloa floating quietly above them.

I don't know whether he was asleep or petrified. After waking up, Grindylow raised his head and looked at Canaloa motionless for a long time. Then he let out a frightened and weird scream and destroyed the house. The group of mermaids among them were awakened.

Countless mermaids with dark green hair and silver tails swam out of the house in panic. They looked similar to humans, but their skin was gray and their teeth were sharp. They looked much more ferocious than humans and centaurs. .

The merfolk, armed with spears as crudely made as their houses, gathered together to form a line of gray and silver, and roared ferociously at Kanaloa.

However, Fei Xu could tell at a glance that they were fierce and lustful.

[They couldn’t understand what I said, so I sent you here. With your ability and identity, it’s impossible for these mermaids to make things difficult for you. 】

Kanaroa ignored the clamor of the group of mermaids, put Fish down, and then swam away lazily.

Fish looked at the group of half-human, half-fish guys in front of him, and after thinking about it, he also changed into the form of a cat-man.

"Hello, meow!" (●ΦωΦ●)

"Hello," a rough-looking and fierce-looking female fish swam out from a group of guards and came to Fish. She blinked her yellow eyes and asked, "Fish Mag?"

Although the tone was questioning, the mermaid's attitude was very positive.

Obviously, the mermaids also knew about this special little wizard Fei Xu.

"My name is Merkus, and I am the leader of the mermaid clan." Merkus gave Fish a strange courtesy, "Welcome to our tribe as a guest."

"Did I wake you up to sleep, meow? It was Kanaroa who brought me here because you know where it is easier to catch small fish, meow..."

Fei Xu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"No, it's nothing," Merkus grinned, revealing two rows of jagged but extremely sharp teeth, "We're glad to be able to help you."

She reached out and touched Fei Xu's head, and then asked curiously: "Canaroa, is it the name of the Squid King?"

"Yes, Meow," Fish replied: "It said that this was the name given to it by a human named Godric Gryffindor when he put it into the lake."

"Godric Gryffindor?!"

How could the mermaids living in the Black Lake not know who Gryffindor was? What's more, these mermaids living in the Black Lake have always had records about the Squid King.

Merkus exclaimed in surprise: "So the Squid King has really lived for nearly a thousand years?! The clan legend is actually true!"

"I don't know about that, meow." Fish shook his head, then stretched out his hand to tug Merkus' arm, "Can you take Fish to catch small fish, meow?" (●ΦωΦ●)

"Of course, please follow me."

Mercus took Fish's hand, swung his silver fish tail, and led him to swim out of the village. Among the group of mermaids behind her, four strong male mermaids followed quickly, holding harpoons. Guarded by Merkus and Fish.

The swimming speed of the mermaids is naturally not as fast as that of giant beasts like Kanaroa, but it is definitely not slow, and it is several times faster than Fish's blind flopping.

Fish, while maintaining his human form, was led by Mercus to swim for a while. Unexpectedly, he discovered that the human body seemed to be more suitable for swimming, but the clothes on his body were a bit troublesome. If he took them off, he should be able to swim faster. .

After a while, Mercus brought Fish to an area with dense aquatic plants. She pointed at the aquatic plants in front of her and said: "There are many small fishes in this area, and there are many small fishes in the gaps between the stones and the mud at the bottom of the lake. Under the sand, you can also find various shellfish and crabs.”

Fish didn't rush to catch fish. He grabbed his robe and tried to take it off. However, because he was in the water, it was a bit difficult for him to take off his clothes.

He took off all his clothes except his underwear with difficulty. It had been a long time since Fish had been free like this.

As for the remaining underwear, it was a habit that Fish had kept after Professor McGonagall kept reminding him.

He handed the clothes he took off to the mermaids, and swam into the lush water plants with a little clumsiness.

Although he had never used human form to swim, Fish still had a strong control over his body, so after shuttling between the water plants for a while, he swam more and more freely.

And the human form is indeed more suitable for swimming than the cat form. After adapting, Fish's swimming speed was significantly improved. With the blessing of the acceleration spell, Fish soon had a swimming speed that was not inferior to that of the mermaid.

"Meow ha ha ha ha ha!" (●ΦωΦ●)

Fisher shuttled quickly among the water plants, searching for his prey.

Those shellfish that stayed in the cracks of the rocks and the mud and sand and hardly moved were never his target. He wanted to catch those fast-swimming fish.

Soon, Feishi found a group of silver fish coming out of the water plants next to him. They seemed to be frightened by Feishi and quickly scattered around, like silver darts, swimming away.

Ordinary insects and animals such as fish and shrimps were not so sensitive to Feishi's animal affinity because of their low intelligence. Although they could vaguely feel a little close to him, they were more afraid of Feishi, the strange "giant".

"Don't run, meow!" (●｀●)

Feishu hoped that they would not get close to him. He paddled his arms and quickly chased after one of the small fish.

However, he spent too little time in the water and was not as agile as on land, so although his speed was not inferior to those small fish, Fish had never been able to catch them.

He finally caught one, but because human hands did not have claws to hold it firmly, the small fish slipped away from his palm.

"Do you need help?"

After watching for a long time, Murcus took the initiative to speak.

"No need, meow!" Fish stopped chasing the small fish and felt the time a little. "Fisher had a lot of fun, but it's almost time for me to go back, meow."

He swam back to Mercus, took back his clothes from a guard, and put them back on with difficulty.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I will come to play with you again if I have the chance in the future, meow!" (●ΦωΦ●)

"Mermaids, you are always welcome to visit us."

Mercus said to Fish with a smile.

After saying goodbye to the mermaid leader Mercus, Fish found Kanaloa through other squids to say goodbye, and then was carried back to the shore by its tentacles.

After using a spell to clean the water stains on his body, Feishi jumped back to the castle.

Although he didn't catch any small fish today, he had a lot of fun. He will come again tomorrow!

Rowling once joked that if Godric Gryffindor was still alive, he would be the giant squid in the Black Lake, so he would also be the largest Animagus in the magical world, and of course he could also be the oldest. Every night at 11 o'clock, the squid would turn back to Gryffindor's original appearance and walk around the school grounds until the sun rises the next day.

Later, some book fans misunderstood that Gryffindor was still alive, and she even came out to refute the rumor.

So I set the largest giant squid in the Black Lake to be related to Gryffindor, which is theoretically no problem. As for the life span of the giant squid, it is a magical world, and it is normal to have a thousand-year-old monster.
