With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

Fleur drew her wand, ready for battle.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the hibiscus ahead, Shark Head decisively chose to retreat in another direction.

Furong looked completely bewildered.

Durmstrang is known for its dark magic, and the young wizards from there are always exceptionally skilled in combat.

Now that the two sides are facing off, shouldn't the other side at least try to test the waters with some fighting? Why did they flee without a fight?

Then she realized that in the hazy shadows in the distance, an enormous sea serpent was emerging from the lush seaweed and attacking them.

It turns out that the Durmstrang warrior swam so fast not to throw himself, but to escape.

Unfortunately, with his younger sister by his side, he couldn't run away at all.

Hibiscus gripped her wand tighter involuntarily.

On the referee's stand, it was Karkarov's turn to be happy.

Mrs. Maxim, on the other hand, launched into a tirade against Krum's despicable behavior.

Karkarov countered that this was wisdom, a tactic.

The two sides started arguing.

……

Similar to Fleur, Harry, another warrior from Hogwarts, also had a smooth experience after going into the water.

When Harry first entered the lake, he felt no fear whatsoever.

After participating in Levin's special training, he now knows this Black Lake like the back of his hand.

He dived into the lake, surrounded by a strange, dark, and hazy landscape. All around was silent, with only the sound of his own heartbeat echoing.

Because visibility was so low, Harry's field of vision was limited to a radius of ten feet around him, and each stroke felt like exploring new unknowns in the dark.

The swaying black water plants form a jungle, intertwined with each other, and scattered on the flat mud and sand are sparkling pebbles, like stars in the night sky.

He swam deeper and deeper, heading towards the center of the lake.

His eyes widened, his gaze piercing through the grey, eerie lake water, and he saw many dark figures in the distance—a large number of Greendylos.

He remembered that Professor Lu Ping had explained these creatures in detail last semester, and he had even dealt with one himself during the final exam. But now, in the water, and so many of them…

Harry unconsciously gripped his wand tightly, preparing for a tough battle.

To his surprise, the Greendylows completely ignored him, swimming around him frantically in the lake, searching for potential enemies.

"What great luck!"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat confused.

He thought his luck was absolutely terrible today:

On his way to the competition, he was stopped by Professor Moody.

Professor Moody told him that he had been a comrade-in-arms of Harry's father, James Potter, and had fought alongside him, and then gave Harry an encouraging big hug.

However, Harry felt that Moody's hands were greasy, and he wondered if they were dirty, which made him very uncomfortable.

Moody not only rubbed Harry's head hard several times, but also patted him on the shoulder.

Unfortunately, with the match imminent, Harry couldn't go back to wash his hair and had to suppress his discomfort as he arrived at the match venue.

But now it seems that he was very lucky, especially after Harry saw Grindelwald attacking the other warriors from afar.

He felt as if he had taken the legendary Felix Felicis, and everything went so smoothly as if in a dream.

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.

But this rule didn't apply to Harry.

Just when he didn't know where to swim, the weeping Myrtle appeared before him.

She floated in front of him, looking at him through thick, pearl-colored glasses, giggling as she pointed him in the right direction.

Harry thanked her and continued swimming forward.

After swimming for less than twenty minutes, Harry saw many mermaids.

These creatures, like the Grindelwalds, completely ignored Harry.

Harry remembered that the hostages were tied up in the mermaid village, and he deduced that the direction with the most mermaids was the direction of the mermaid village.

Harry followed his own judgment and swam forward. After several detours, he finally saw a rough mermaid statue.

However, the scene before him was quite different from what he had guessed.

There was no trace of any mermaid in the square in front of the statue.

Hermione's summoned black tentacles have disappeared, and the bound mermaids have all escaped, but the remaining mermaids still dare not approach this place.

Harry suppressed his curiosity and slowly approached the statue.

Then, he immediately noticed Ronnie's red hair floating in the lake.

Harry was overjoyed and quickly swam over to rescue the person.

Only four hostages were tied up here; Ginny and Gabrielle were not among them, apparently someone had arrived before him and rescued them.

Harry was not surprised by this.

In the previous round, Hermione and Fleur were ahead of him.

Moreover, he had previously participated in Levin's special training and was well aware of the strength of the two witches who were training with him.

Harry gently untied Ronnie's ropes and then pulled her into a tight embrace.

Looking at the woman who had become his best friend, Harry couldn't help but sniffle.

Even though he was in the water, he still subconsciously felt that he could smell a sweet fragrance in his nostrils.

The girl's fiery red hair swayed gently in the water, and her pale face could not conceal her natural beauty.

With her eyes slightly closed, her long eyelashes had a subtle curve, giving her an indescribable sense of beauty.

Even her light freckles are as cute as an elf's, making one want to kiss her cheeks.

Harry slowly leaned his head closer, as if captivated by Ronnie's beauty.

However, at that moment, he suddenly remembered the secret eye that had been following him and continuously broadcasting live.

He didn't want to do such a thing in public, so he had to stop.

He had never hated the little thing more than he did now.

However, the audience at the scene had already noticed his subtle actions through the live broadcast.

The audience was disappointed that they couldn't witness the exciting scenes they had expected.

Meanwhile, Malfoy, having reached his limit, began to hurl insults.

Ma Tianlong's anger was palpable when his goddess was almost forcibly kissed by Scarface.

However, Levin and Ginny were dumbfounded.

　(Zhao De) They were the only two people present who knew the truth, and when they saw Harry about to kiss Ronnie, they couldn't hold back anymore.

“…No way, Harry, are you serious?!” Levin exclaimed.

Imagine a warrior overcoming countless obstacles to brave the perilous mermaid village and finally rescue his kidnapped beloved. As they escape, he kisses her tenderly, like a prince gently kissing a sleeping princess.

The scene is truly breathtakingly beautiful.

But when Ginny thought that the beautiful woman lying in Harry's arms was actually her brother Ron, she felt nauseous and gagged on the spot.

Fortunately, Harry and Ronnie didn't go all the way to the last step, otherwise Ginny would have thrown up her midnight snack from last night.

"What's wrong, Ginny? Did you stay in the water for too long and suffer some aftereffects?" Madam Pomfrey immediately asked her with concern, while also complaining about Dumbledore as usual, "The headmaster shouldn't have organized this Triwizard Tournament. Look what he's done to our little wizards."

During the live stream, Harry regretfully picked up Ronnie and quickly swam towards the shore.

Chapter 376 Water Monster Knight

In the blink of an eye, 40 minutes had passed.

Two-thirds of the race has passed, but so far only Hermione has managed to rescue the hostages.

At this point in time, Bagman began to build suspense.

He stood on the stage and solemnly announced: "Dear audience, I have to tell you a harsh truth. The rule of this competition is 'if time runs out, all hope is lost.' Yes, if the warriors cannot bring back their treasures and their loved ones within the allotted time, the outcome may not be as we imagine..."

He didn't directly mention the fate of the hostages who weren't rescued, but his words implied that the unrescued hostages would die underwater.

Many young wizards believed him and stood up in fright at Bagman's words.

They stared intently at the lake, their faces filled with worry.

"Do you think the monsters will drag the hostages back to the bottom of the water when the time comes?" a young wizard asked nervously.

“Oh my god, they won’t really kill people, will they?” another voice said, trembling.

"I've heard that those mermaids eat people," someone else muttered.

“Impossible, with Dumbledore here, nothing will happen,” an older wizard tried to reassure everyone.

But someone immediately countered: "Don't forget, people really did die in the Triwizard Tournament in the past."

Just as everyone was filled with worry, the once calm lake surface began to react in a new way.

The water in the center of the lake suddenly began to rotate, forming a huge whirlpool.

The lake water churned and splashed, as if something was about to burst out of the water.

All eyes were fixed on the vortex, and hearts raced.

Then, the lake surface shimmered silver in the sunlight, and Furong rode out of the waves on a tall horse. The horse's hooves splashed water, while the fish tail behind her swayed and slapped the waves, propelling Furong forward at great speed.

A beautifully crafted iron cage was fitted over the horse's brain pouch, and Fleur held the reins firmly in her hand. With one arm around Gabrielle and the other holding the reins, she resembled a valiant female knight.

Her silver hair danced in the cold wind, and her beautiful face radiated a confident smile in the sunlight, making her look dazzling.

"Incredible!" Bagman exclaimed. "The second returning warrior has appeared; it is Fleur Delacour!"
