Krum, who was leaving, did not notice a milky white object floating quickly above the water grass.
In the muddy water, he was looking for the other two warriors.
Then, he knew!
Hibiscus Chinensis was swimming in the wrong direction. She was swimming in the opposite direction of the mermaid village, so he could ignore her. Cedric had already passed this patch of water grass …
He was moving very fast, and just happened to miss Krum.
Cedric was about to reach the mermaid village. Perhaps he could leave with the girl named Ravenclaw first.
This did not affect the plan. Cedric was very strong. It would not be as easy to deal with him as it was to deal with Ron.
.....
Three hours ago, Elwyn, Harry, Qiu and Polyaco were tied to the tail of the stone statue.
They all looked like they were in deep sleep. Their heads were slumped on their shoulders, and a string of tiny bubbles kept coming out of their mouths.
Elwyn was between Qiu and Harry. He still looked like Gabriel, his cloud-like silver hair fluttering in the cold water.
The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Dumbledore had done something to the spell he cast. The effect of the spell was not as strong, so he woke up early.
However, Elwyn could still breathe in the water. It was as if he had eaten gill sac grass.
This was a very difficult compound spell. Elwyn could not help but admire Dumbledore's spellcasting ability.
The wand hidden in his sleeve slipped into his hand. The next second, the rope that was tied around Elwyn's body automatically loosened.
He moved his body and looked around. Harry and Qiu were still asleep.
The surroundings were quiet. The mermaids were a little lazy and did not look at the four of them.
There was not even a shadow in the small square. They were probably hiding in the rough stone dwelling.
Elwyn's movements were not big. After drinking a big mouthful of the compound soup, he tied himself up again.
Looking at the time, the match was about to start. Moody's Magic Eye could see through the lake water, so he couldn't detect any abnormalities.
However, this time, Elwyn tied himself to Harry. He had cast a spell on the black rope made of seaweed. It was thick, slippery, and very sturdy. It was very difficult to untie or destroy it. This way, he would not let Harry leave his side.
Elwyn calculated the time. Every hour, he would swallow a mouthful of the compound soup in his mouth to maintain the shape.
They did not know when it started, but the merpeople emerged from all directions and looked at the four of them curiously. The unforgettable singing began to appear around them. It was not the sacrificial song that Elwyn had heard before, but the tune was more cheerful.
"We only have an hour to find and take back the items we took …"
"Don't delay any longer. Half of the time has already passed. Otherwise, you will lose it forever …"
This was the song from the golden egg. The merpeople were guiding the Warriors to rescue the most important person to them.
Elwyn quietly opened his eyes and saw that in the dark lake, two strong merpeople were guarding around them with spears in their hands.
Not far away, many merpeople were gathered in a circle. They were singing and dancing, and it was very lively.
The merpeople were all dressed up. There was a female merperson with many pebbles strung on a thick rope around her neck. She was holding the hand of a little Green Rudy. Her dark green, long, and messy hair was decorated with the ornaments that Elwyn had sold to them last time.
Most of the merpeople were dressed like this. The most expensive ornaments on them were the ones that Elwyn had brought before.
If one ignored their iron-gray skin, yellow eyes, and incomplete yellow teeth, the picture was actually quite good.
But now, it looked more like a group of demons were having a party.
More than thirty minutes had passed, and there was still no sign of the Warriors. What were they waiting for?!
Just as Elwyn swallowed the last of the compound soup, Cedric Diggory's figure finally appeared at the edge of the merfolk village.
There was a huge bubble around his head, making his facial features look stretched and wider. It was very funny.
Cedric landed, splashing a large amount of black mud. The lake water was stirred up by his movements, creating a black whirlpool.
He looked around blankly and looked at the merpeople in surprise.
Then, he saw the four hostages tied to the tail of the statue. Autumn Zhang leaned her head on the shoulder of the silver-haired girl. She looked fine, but the girl named Bubblebottom had a blue face and seemed lifeless.
She was the younger sister of Hibiscus Chinensis. It seemed that she was always with Elwyn and the others.
Cedric also saw Harry on the other side of Gabriel. He was also asleep.
"Take your hostage and leave!" A merperson swam over and said to him with a malicious smile on his face.
Cedric hesitated for a moment, then took out a knife from his pocket.
He swam over, cut the rope, rescued Autumn Zhang, and pulled her upstream.
But soon, he stopped, a little worried.
It was too strange. He did not see the other three Warriors along the way.
These merpeople all looked fierce, as if they could kill the hostages at any time.
He could not leave them alone. Cedric decided to wait here for a while. When the next Warrior came, he would leave.
After another ten minutes or so, the surrounding merpeople suddenly screamed in joy.
Cedric looked up and saw Krum, who had turned into a shark, swimming over. Ron and Hibiscus Chinensis should be behind him.
He nodded at the other party and pulled Qiu upwards, quickly disappearing from sight.
The half-human, half-shark Krum approached the hostages, but soon there was a dispute.
He did not care about his hostage, Poliaco. He wanted to take Harry away, but the merpeople did not allow him to do so.
"Your project is to save your friend. Don't worry about the others!"
Krum did not answer. He waved his wand, and a column of boiling water hit the nearest merperson.
Where the spell hit, the merperson's green skin quickly turned red, and he fainted.
The surrounding merpeople stopped laughing. Pairs of yellow eyes stared at Krum's wand, looking very afraid.
Even though they had the advantage in numbers, Krum was alone, and merpeople were afraid of magic.
Krum's shark head opened its huge mouth, and the merpeople fled in all directions, quickly disappearing without a trace.
"So it's him!" Elwyn could feel what was happening around him. Was Krum controlled by Moody?!
His eyes narrowed a little, and he saw Krum swim over, using his teeth to tear and bite at the rope binding him and Harry.
Krum's movements were very big, as if he wanted to tear them in half, but it was useless …
He waved his wand again, but still did not untie the rope binding Elwyn and Harry.
