HP Dark Lord save the world

Chapter 168 Underwater Things

After Principal Dippet disappeared from sight, Itana looked at Dumbledore: "You have already gone down, do you know why these mermaids gathered outside my window last night?"

Dumbledore spat out a piece of fish bone with little movement, "The mermaids have encountered some troubles, and that song now has other meanings, they say that whenever someone sings that song, it means that gunpowder is coming. "

"Why?" Itana was a little stunned, "Did it change its meaning during this period of time?"

"On a mermaid time scale, that's pretty recent."

"What about us? Also, is it something that most people agree with, or is it just for this community in the Black Lake?"

Itana thought of the scene when she heard this song for the first time two months ago, when the blue fireworks were high and dyed, illuminating a clearing in the forest, and the humanoid creature with four eyes and two mouths stood silently, The ethereal and distant singing sound comes from nowhere, but it seems to spread on the hearts and minds of all living beings, making it unforgettable once you hear it.

If the meaning of the melody had changed at that time, then when they heard this song, what kind of gunpowder would be played on that land?
"More than ten years ago." Dumbledore's answer broke Itana's imagination and brought her back to reality.

"So, the mermaids thought that the so-called gunpowder smoke was coming, so they came to confirm the situation?" Itana recalled the emotional changes of those mermaids when they communicated with Dumbledore. They were quite angry for a while, because What?
"I think so, Itana, that song is already a sign of doom."

"Then why did they respond to me? After hearing the singing and coming to confirm, why didn't they leave immediately, but sang the same singing?"

Itana's thinking spreads very quickly, and she is often entangled in some trivial things, which is sometimes a good thing, such as now.

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows slightly, "This question is also what I was puzzled by. After I asked it, the mermaids were very emotional. As a last resort, I had to bypass the topic, and finally learned about the Black Lake from them. The channel leading to the ocean has been blocked by humans, and the merfolk are trying to dig a new channel."

Is it the part where they almost got into a fight? Is it because they were asked why they responded to their own singing?

"They want to leave?"

Itana remembers that there is a setting that the Black Lake does have a channel connected to the ocean, which is the origin of the large squid in the Black Lake.

And now the passage is blocked, and the merfolk have dug new tunnels, are they digging the little dirt pit that Dumbledore went to?
Generally speaking, shouldn't this kind of project be tamped and reinforced at all times to prevent collapse?And the size and scale are unreliable, unless the mermaid is really not a high-intelligence creature.

"They have this idea." Dumbledore looked at the Black Lake, his eyes seemed to be able to see the bottom of the water through many obstacles, "but they are trapped, some things that the mermaids are afraid of are encroaching on their living space, and their project has not yet been completed. It started officially? It was forced to stop."

"What are they afraid of?" Itana never suppressed her curiosity.

Dumbledore frowned again, as if even he felt it was a little tricky, "Some things, I've never seen them before, don't have the characteristics of being alive, but they give people a feeling that they are living things."

As he spoke, Dumbledore took out a white shard from his pocket and put it in his palm and activated it with magic power. The shard started to squirm and seemed to swell.

"It seems to use magic power as a nutrient, and then grows in activity, and can absorb the magic power of nature. The damage caused by ordinary magic power attacks to them is quite limited, as long as they can't be crushed, they can absorb and convert the attack."

Dumbledore's palm swelled with magic power, and with a soft bang, the fragment in his palm exploded into dust, and then even the dust disappeared.

"Huh, well, thank you for your hospitality, I should go now, the principal is probably still waiting for me." Dumbledore patted the dust that didn't exist in his hands, stood up, and smiled at the two: "Don't worry, this is not too difficult to solve, just enjoy your college life with peace of mind."

Seeing the figure of Dumbledore leaving leisurely, Tom pursed his lips and looked at the black lake, "I always feel that he is talking big."

"If it can absorb the magic power in nature to grow, wouldn't it be easy for this thing to increase in value?"

Yes, if it has a certain amount of wisdom, it doesn't seem so difficult to hide in a corner that others can't find, slowly develop its own size, wait for enough numbers, and then explode together to invade the entire world.

"So we can't let them take the lead in everything. It's up to us to save the world." Itana smiled and took out a similar crumb from Muir's body, and Tom looked straight at the side .

"When did you get it?" Tom asked and suddenly remembered that Muir had been waiting for them here early in the morning. Could it be that he had already followed Dumbledore down?

"But, if you hold it, how can you restrain its growth? Do you have enough magic power to destroy it?" The level of magic power that Dumbledore just destroyed the fragments is not what they can achieve now, even when they are adults, they will not It cannot be done lightly.

A well-recognized powerful wizard naturally has his reasons for being powerful, and there is no need to question this.

Tom is a little worried that Itana is playing off.

"Since it takes magic power as its nourishment, it's fine if I create a space without magic power for it." Itana chuckled lightly, her eyes filled with excitement and ambition that Tom had never seen before, "And don't you I feel that if we can make good use of its characteristics..."

Tom opened his eyes wide.

If this thing can really absorb the magic power that attacks it to grow, wouldn't it be the best material for weapons and armor?
If there were an army equipped with such equipment, the whole world would tremble!
After thinking about this, Tom's blood boiled, and he looked at Itana as if he was looking at a like-minded best ally.

Her ideas are really bold and novel!
"We can produce self-repairing materials, which will be of great convenience to architecture, clothing, and life..." Itana admired sincerely.

"Huh?" Tom blinked, thinking he didn't hear clearly.

Itana looked softly at the white shard in her hand: "This will change the world."
