Chapter 129 Mermaid Bomb
After explaining the matter to Comptin in detail, Ma En sent him away, and he did not have time to stay longer.
The efficiency of the Ministry of Magic has become much higher after the reform. Comptin has been staying in the hospital recently, and the boss has been urging him to go back and write a report quickly.
After that, Ma En didn't see him for another week. He occasionally went to the auditorium for dinner and couldn't see this guy.
It was already late March when we met again. Before Ma En went to bed, he heard an explosion from the Black Lake. When he came out to check, he happened to come over with two men who looked somewhat similar.
"Hey, man, I think you should really do some research on what's wrong with you," Ma En said, looking at Comptin, whose whole face was starting to twitch, "your skin is dancing!"
The random pulling of muscles made the corners of Comptin's mouth sway uncontrollably. Fortunately, his speech was still clear: "Don't mention it, I would have studied it long ago... Speaking of which, your fire can heal injuries, do you want it? Check it out for me."
It wasn't impossible. After Ma En thought about it for a while, he ignored the movement in the black lake for the time being, rubbed his left hand, and stretched out a fireball.
Comptin's two men looked at him with horrified expressions as he dove into the fire. He himself had nothing to be afraid of. After all, he had experienced similar incidents too many times. It was just his legs before, but now his head... Until now, his legs are not of the same color.
"There are traces of black magic, but," Ma En frowned and said, "It's not a curse. You can't even see any magic. And the breath is very weak. It shouldn't have a direct effect on your body. It's very strange."
While speaking, he twisted his face a few more times. Because he was immersed in the flames, Ma En, who was grilling, could "see" very clearly. After a chill, he quickly retracted his hand. After seeing too much of this thing, he always felt that You will lose your mind.
Comptin didn't pay much attention to this. He had been twitching his face for a long time and had long been used to it. Now he just prayed that this matter would not spread to his whole body... and he had to stay away from Trelawney recently so as not to scare her away. , it’s not easy for me either.
"Forget it, let it continue to smoke, we'd better do business first..."
Ma En pointed to the Black Lake. It was rare that there was no wind tonight. The waves of the Black Lake were as flat as a mirror: "We don't seem to have anything else to do. Can you dive?"
What Ma En didn't expect was that Comptin actually nodded.
Watching Compton speechlessly as he used a head soaking spell and prepared to jump directly into the black lake, Ma En's brows jumped. This guy has quite a lot of skills...
"Okay, old man, you don't need to go down. I'll just check it out. It'll be quick. I was just joking. You don't need to actually go diving."
What Marn didn't expect was that Comptin declined his proposal. He said that he was an Auror after all, and he had to do some things by himself. The most important thing was that there were mermaids under the Black Lake. He wanted to ask them about their specific situation. Things are not something you can just look at casually.
Seeing that there was no hope of stopping him, Ma En could only watch this chubby guy kicking from the lake into the black lake, creating a circle of waves.
However, without the help of the wind, the lines on the water surface quickly calmed down. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Ma En became bored.
He looked at Comptin's two men and said: "Good evening, I am Marne Langley."
The two people obviously didn't react to Ma En's sudden greeting. They were stunned for a moment and hurriedly replied: "Hello, just call me Foster."
"Second."
"Are you brothers?" After hearing their names and looking at the same brown hair and eyes, Ma En asked curiously.
"We are similar, right? In fact, we are just neighbors, and our mothers also look alike." Foster said.
Ma En nodded and said no more, thinking that this was not necessarily the case.
The atmosphere soon fell into silence again, which seemed a little awkward. Fortunately, the silence did not last long. A fat figure emerged from the bottom of the water, and Compton was back.
"How's it going? What's the matter?"
Computing picked off the water plants hanging on his face with his fingers and threw them away, and then used magic to evaporate the water on his body. Then he said: "Don't mention it, those mermaids were picked up by an old Muggle who doesn't know where. The old bomb detonated after a lot of fussing, killing a few of them, but nothing happened to the rest."
"This...Professor Dumbledore may feel uncomfortable. He seems to know those mermaids."
Comptin shook his head slightly and said: "It's impossible. Dumbledore won't feel sorry for them. That guy is quite hard-hearted sometimes."
After finishing speaking, he may have felt that there was something wrong with his statement, so he quickly added: "Of course, I don't dare to say it in front of him, you know."
After saying that, a smile that was uglier than crying was forced onto his face.
It didn't matter that Marn said something about Dumbledore to him, but he still looked at him carefully for a while, staring at him a little awkwardly: "What's the matter, Marn?"
"It's nothing, it's just...have you noticed that your face is no longer twitching..."
"Huh?" Comptin quickly touched his big face, and after a while he said happily: "I really don't smoke anymore! Do you need cold water?"
"I don't know...but if you want to smoke again after you go back, you can try it."
He quickly shook his head: "Let's forget it. I don't want to test this idea."
In the middle of the night, since it was determined that there was nothing wrong, of course they went back to their respective homes. Computing said a few words to Ma En, then turned to greet two men chatting not far away: "Hey! What are you doing? Well? Go back!"
The sound was so loud that not only the two young wizards, but also Ma En was startled. He may have realized that there was something wrong with his tone. He looked back at Ma En, smiled, and quickly urged his two men to leave. here.
Why is this man's temper even worse after his face was healed?But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. Leaders are probably like this, being friendly with outsiders.
When Marn returned to the black tea house, Esther had been waiting for him. Maybe she was bored just waiting. She also picked up a book and read it, The Count of Monte Cristo.
Although they are both Muggle-born, Esther is obviously different from Hermione. She is only interested in wizarding things such as spells and various potions, and is not very interested in other things. She is not interested in anything written by wizards. The book is even more indifferent.
In her own words, she is extraordinary, but it restricts the imagination of wizards. Lockhart, a famous novelist in the wizarding world, can barely make a living in the Muggle world, so when reading In this regard, she prefers things written by Muggle writers.
Seeing Ma En coming in, she took off her eye-protecting glasses and put the book in her hand on the bedside table next to her. She pulled up the pajamas that were just on her body and said, "What's wrong? Someone is making trouble again." ?"
"Computing went down to take a look and said that the group of mermaids blew up an old bomb and killed a few of them."
Esther said a little strangely: "Can the mermaid... speak human language?"
"Yes, it's just that most mermaids don't bother to learn, and the ones who know don't seem to be very good at what they say...What's wrong?"
"That's it."
