I'm at Hogwarts, what the heck is this Primordial System?

Chapter 88 Water Control at Will, the Secrets of Mermaids!

Upon seeing this message, Rhein couldn't help but show a hint of joy in his eyes.

Since the last talent refinement, he has acquired a lot more talents during this period.

Most of his talents were not enough to make a big difference to him, but talents like the ability to absorb spiritual energy, such as the ability to draw upon dragons, were always scarce in Rhine.

His spiritual energy is so scarce that it's always insufficient.

A single soul-summoning technique would have exhausted him, let alone now that he has the added supernatural power of three heads and eight arms.

If there weren't a little more spiritual energy, even three heads and eight arms wouldn't be enough to drain him dry.

Rhine had even long planned to fuse his talents for obtaining spiritual energy, such as eating wind and drinking dew and earth spirit, into one, ideally obtaining a talent similar to attaining the Vajra Body and remaining unfazed.

In this way, the problem will be solved once and for all.

Since the Dragon Spirit talent can be combined with the Wind and Dew, it is naturally an excellent smelting component.

Once you acquire the Sun Essence and Moon Essence talent, you can begin the smelting process.

Thinking of this, Rhein felt a surge of joy.

The mermaid chieftain breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the joy on Rhine's face.

It seems this little wizard is quite easy to talk to, so their ordeal is finally coming to an end.

Although the cost was considerable, it would still be worthwhile if we could get through this hurdle and stop Rhine from taking action.

As for why the mermaid chieftain is so humble...

It didn't want to be humble, but the problem was that an eleven-year-old wizard could cause such a commotion at the Black Lake. Not to mention Dumbledore, even the four great wizards in their youth would have been beaten to a pulp.

This guy is a monster. If you really offend him, in a few years, he might drain the entire Black Lake dry!

At this moment, Rhine looked at the mermaid chieftain and asked.

"What was that giant squid all about?"

"There are such powerful magical creatures in the Black Lake. How much do you know about them?"

The mermaid chieftain quickly replied.

"I don't know much about it either, but according to the clan's records, when Hogwarts was first established, our Merfolk were also invited by the four great masters to migrate here."

"Back then, witch hunts were rampant, the ocean was no longer safe, and we mermaids were also targets of relentless hunting. The invitation from the four giants was a rare opportunity for us."

"That giant squid wasn't in the Black Lake at first, but when the four giants disappeared one after another, it appeared in the Black Lake at some unknown time."

The mermaid chieftain added another explanation.

"That's actually normal, since Black Lake is connected to the sea, and it's very likely that it came from the deep sea."

"Since I took over as the clan leader, it has always been peaceful and has never contacted us. It only eats small fish and shrimp, and we do not interfere with each other."

"It gets active occasionally, oh yes, usually around the time of freshman enrollment, but it's been several weeks now, and we've never seen it suddenly go so crazy before."

"Perhaps it's because I'm too old."

Upon hearing this, Rhein raised an eyebrow.

When the four giants disappeared one after another, the giant squid suddenly appeared in the Black Lake?

This seems less and less like a coincidence.

Could this really be Godric Gryffindor's Animagus? But why is he hiding here like this?

This is far more outrageous than Peter Pettigrew. Peter only hid for eleven years, but Gryffindor may have been hiding for thousands of years. It's simply insane.

What could possibly lead one of the Big Four to adopt this approach?

More and more mysteries were churning in Rhine's mind.

Is this the terror related to ancient magic that Peeves was talking about?

At that moment, Rhine asked another question casually.

"By the way, why don't you hide in the deep sea?"

"Even if the witch hunts were crazy back then, they wouldn't have gone to the deep sea to hunt you down, would they?"

The merman chieftain fell silent, his eyes flashing with an ancient fear.

"We dare not dive into the deep sea."

"Our earliest ancestors warned us that some of the horrors in the deep sea are unimaginable."

"In fact, over the years, some of our people have been unwilling to stay in Black Lake forever. After all, it's not a very spacious place for us, and the food isn't as plentiful as in the ocean."

"They defied their ancestors' warnings and ventured into the deep sea. At first, everything seemed fine, and we could even hear messages from them."

"But the longest they lasted was no more than three years, and then they disappeared without a trace."

"Their former friends followed the trail, but they all disappeared. Only a few managed to return by chance, but they all went mad and died soon after."

"If things like this happen too often, we'll never dare to go into the deep sea again. At least we can survive here."

Rhine nodded.

He didn't know what was in the deep sea, and the original Harry Potter books never mentioned it.

But now it seems that there are some secrets in this world that have not yet been discovered; the waters run deep.

The latest novel is first published here!

At this moment, the merman chieftain asked with a hint of respect.

"Respected young wizard, may I leave now?"

Rhine looked at the bag of pearls and agates it offered and sighed.

"I had heard that mermaid tears could be turned into pearls and other jewels, so I thought you guys lived a pretty rich life."

"Hearing you say that now, it sounds so pathetic!"

Immediately, Rhine tossed the bag back to the mermaid chieftain.

"You were the ones who suffered because of me, how could I possibly accept anything from you again?"

"Take these jewels back with you, and also..."

Looking at the many fish in the Black Lake that had been frightened to death by the commotion, Rhine hesitated for a moment, then took out a high-grade Flying Tiger Pill and handed it to the mermaid chieftain.

Confusion appeared in the merman chieftain's eyes, then an instinctive desire made him swallow hard.

The round object in front of it seemed to contain a powerful force, which held a great attraction for it.

As long as you eat it, you will receive unimaginable benefits.

Rhine said something.

"I made these pills myself as a small token of my apology and compensation, and I also hope to become friends with the merfolk in the future."

The merman chieftain was filled with growing horror.

This little wizard named Rhine in front of me is not only incredibly strong, but his potion-making skills are also quite unique.

Their future achievements are truly limitless, and surpassing the four giants may not be impossible.

It carefully took the Flying Tiger Pill.

"Lord Rhine, it is an honor for our Black Lake Mermaid clan to be your friend."

"If you wish, you are welcome to visit our mermaid clan anytime."

At that moment, the system screen in front of Rhine flashed with information again.

The Dragon Palace Master greatly admires the elixirs you have refined and is increasingly eager to befriend you, inviting you to visit the Dragon Palace on a chosen day.

Your relationship has reached the level of close friendship.

[You have gained the talent reward—Water Control at Will! Manipulating water will become second nature to you, and ordinary water-based spells will be at your fingertips.]

Sorry everyone, it's already past midnight.
