Chapter 137 Kanaloa

After Professor McGonagall's consolation, Fish recovered completely the next day. Then he found the pile of popular science books that he had thrown away and found that they were indeed the same as what Professor McGonagall said, all of which were books about cats or big cats.

Especially the book about fish given by Canary Sister, which reminded Fish that he had always wanted to catch fish in the Black Lake.

So Fish finally accepted those gifts... Of course, except for the "Atlas of Dog and Cat Anatomy".

This also greatly relieved Sharpe and others who had been upset.

When Fish returned to Gryffindor's dormitory at night, Sharpe brought the silly man who sent the wrong book to apologize to him, and Fish generously forgave her.

Although he wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of one or two days of homework, after evaluating his daily performance and Professor McGonagall's intelligence, as well as his mother's understanding of him, Fish felt that it was a bit difficult to hide it from the other party, so he could only reluctantly give up this idea.

So Fich could only finish today's homework with a bitter face under the guidance of senior sister Xia Pei and others.

As usual, he strolled around the castle, and then went to Professor McGonagall to listen to a story. Fich then slipped out of the castle and ran towards the Black Lake.

Today, we will not go to the Forbidden Forest, but go fishing in the lake!

Fich ran all the way to the Black Lake, and then dived into the water without hesitation.

Unlike ordinary cats, Fich's swimming ability is still quite good. Of course, it can't be compared with the fishing cats he saw in the book. It was the first time that Fich knew that there were cats with webbed claws in the world.

After several failed attempts to become a fishing cat, Fich gave up. Anyway, he was not unable to swim, but just swam a little slower.

As for diving, Fich learned the underwater breathing method that was more useful than the Bubble Head Curse a long time ago. It was also because of this spell that Fich was able to practice swimming, otherwise he would have drowned the first time he accidentally fell into the water.

After entering the water, Feishi found that the light in the water was very dim. In addition to the moonlight projected from the sky, there were also some plants and animals in the lake that emitted faint light.

However, for a cat, this light source was enough for him to see clearly around him.

Although the field of vision was not comparable to that on land.

Feishi fluttered his little paws and swam down less than ten meters. A soft and tough tentacle sprang out from the darkness and entangled Feishi who was diving to the bottom of the water.

It was the giant squid that had lived in the lake for who knows how many years. After discovering Feishi, it took the initiative to stretch out its tentacles to roll him up and then sent him back to the shore.

"Meow meow meow?" ⊙ω⊙

Feish, who was sent back to the shore, was confused.

The giant squid actually did this kind of thing often. It had established a good relationship with Hogwarts a long time ago. Occasionally, when it encountered students who fell into the water, it would help.

The giant squid actually didn't recognize that the cat-shaped Fish was a student of Hogwarts. It was purely because of the influence of animal affinity and Fish's terrible swimming style that the giant squid misunderstood.

Fish, who didn't know the situation, was stunned for a while on the shore, and then jumped into the black lake again with a "plop". As a result, before he dived two meters, the tentacles of the giant squid rolled over again.

"Meow meow meow meow!" (=｀Д=)

Fish waved his little claws to stop the tentacles from approaching, and spit out a string of bubbles from his mouth.

The tentacles that stretched out retracted, and then a huge eye appeared in front of Fish.

[You, didn't drown? ]

The giant squid understood what Fish meant from the gurgling bubbles just now, so he tried to communicate with Fish.

Communicating with animals is a simple thing for a druid. Fish naturally understood what the other party meant. He opened his mouth and spit out another string of bubbles.

"Meow~Meow!" (=｀Д=)

[I think I know who you are. ]

Sometimes, students would swim in the Black Lake or sit on the shore and chat. Professors of Potions and Herbology would go to the lake from time to time to look for some materials, so the giant squid still knew a lot about Hogwarts.

[Your name is Fish, right? ]

"Meow~"

[Hello, my name is Kanaloa. ]

After briefly introducing themselves to each other, the giant squid named Kanaloa followed Fish and slowly dived to the bottom of the lake.

The two swam and talked casually. After knowing that Fish came down to catch small fish to eat, Kanaloa proposed to catch fish for Fish, but was rejected by the kitten.

Fish, who had not eaten raw food for a long time, went to the lake to fish. His main purpose was never to eat, but to play.

[In this case, let's separate for the time being. 】

Kanaloa said to Feishi that as the absolute overlord of the Black Lake, most fish dare not stay around it.

[However, before that, I will take you to see the mermaids in the Black Lake. They should be able to help you a lot in fishing. The fish I will catch are too big for you. 】

If Kanaloa is the most powerful individual in the Black Lake, then the mermaids are the most powerful race in the Black Lake.

Feishi will naturally not refuse Kanaloa's kindness.

"Meow~" (=ΦωΦ=)

After understanding what Fish meant from his bubble, Kanaloa extended a tentacle, gently rolled up Fish, and then swam towards the gathering place of mermaids at an accelerated speed.

Kanaloa's swimming speed was very fast, not much slower than that of unicorns on land, mainly because it was too big, and it could sprint a long distance with a slight movement.

In the process of moving forward, Fish occasionally saw some squids much smaller than Kanaloa approaching. Of course, this was because the object of comparison was Kanaloa, a super giant squid. If they were taken alone, they were not small, at least much larger than Fish's clouded leopard form.

After they simply greeted Fish, they were driven away by Kanaloa waving his tentacles.

[They are my tribe, and they may also be descendants,] Kanaloa explained to Fish, [I have lived in the Black Lake for too long, and the squids in the lake have been replaced one after another. I have long forgotten which descendants I am. 】

Soon, Kanaloa brought Feishi to the bottom of the Black Lake. A huge rock appeared in the turbid water.

The stone depicted a group of half-human, half-fish guys holding spears, hunting some aquatic creatures, including squids, and there were quite a few of them.

"Meow?"ω

Feish pointed at the painting on the rock with his little paw and asked with a string of bubbles.

[Ah... This happened a long time ago. At that time, the mermaids wanted to mark the entire Black Lake as their own territory and tamed most of the intelligent creatures living in the Black Lake. As for my tribe, they also tamed some of them at that time, but now we are basically in a peaceful state. 】

Kanaloa's tone was full of disdain.

[That is to say, I have no interest in ruling the Black Lake, otherwise... hum! 】

Feish looked carefully at the painting on the rock. The size of those squids was only about 2 to 3 times that of the fishmen, which was completely incomparable to Kanaloa.

Regardless of whether the proportions of the paintings on the rocks are correct, Fich believes in Kanaloa's statement. After all, it is so big that as long as its head is not damaged, ordinary creatures will not choose to trouble it.

Kanaloa continued to swim forward with Fich, and soon came to a place that looked like a village.

[We are here. ]

Many places say that there is only one giant squid in the Black Lake.

But the rock mural of the mermaid is also mentioned in the original book.

Because the official has not given a definite statement, I compromised and there is a particularly huge one and a group of ordinary-sized ones.

But to be honest, according to common sense, no matter how big a lake is, it is enough if the fish in it can support a giant squid, but the magic world...┑(￣Д￣)┍

Originally, I wanted to name it Kraken or Cthulhu, but these two names are a bit out of place, and they are all octopuses instead of squids, so I finally chose the relatively unpopular Kanaloa.

Most of my original names have sources, but to avoid being out of character, I chose relatively unpopular or old names.

Twilight Sparkle's name doesn't count.
