Chapter 257 Myrcella, Have You Found Avalon?

After the battle, Moody finally arrived at the crime scene with several staff members from the Department of Magical Games and Sports.

It is definitely not appropriate to say that they were late. They came out to collect the bodies just after the battle on Rolf's side ended. They were clearly on time... How punctual!

What, they are not here to collect the bodies of the Death Eaters, but to support Rolf?

Excuse me.

However, Moody, who was late, was not too embarrassed. After all, being late is a traditional skill of Aurors. He asked in a rough and low voice:

"Kid, are you not hurt?"

"No, Professor Moody." Rolf floated in the water, glanced at Mad-Eye with bubbles on his head, and asked: "Have you found Carlo at the bottom of the lake?"

"I have found him, Mr. Scamander!" A young witch said excitedly.

Seeing the boy looking at her, she hurriedly introduced herself:

"Hello, my name is Uma Panemion, I am an employee of the Department of Magical Sports and Games, and I am now responsible for coordinating the affairs of the Triwizard Tournament..."

Uma told her job, age and even home address as if she was registering her household registration.

She seemed to realize that she had said too much, and said a little embarrassedly:

"Sorry, Mr. Scamander, I am your admirer, and I have always liked you, so I am a little excited."

"Thank you for your love, don't be nervous, relax." Rolf said with a smile, and he reminded:

"There is no need to look for Loki and Caswell, they were eaten by the horse-headed fish-tailed sea monster and the giant octopus respectively."

"So, except for Amycus Carrow, the other three wizards are all dead?" Moody asked in a rough voice.

"Yes."

Uma looked at Rolf with admiration, her eyes full of admiration.

Ambushed by four dark wizards, he was able to kill three people and seriously injure one person... He is really worthy of being Scamander.

Moody had known Rolf's strength for a long time, and was not surprised at all, but was a little impressed by his genius.

He narrowed his two asymmetrical eyes again, staring suspiciously at Myrcella who was comforting the sea monster with a horse head and a fish tail in the distance.

One of his eyes was small and black, with bright eyes, and the other eye was large and round, flashing with electric blue.

"Who is this?"

"Her name is Myrcella." Rolf said. "She is my friend."

"Can you guarantee that this is her, Rolf?" Moody said with doubt:

"How could she happen to appear here? Could it be that the Death Eaters used the Polyjuice Potion to impersonate her? You'd better ask her, something only the two of you will know."

"I have confirmed it." Rolf smiled, "The singing of the mermaid cannot be faked."

Seeing that Moody was still worried and seemed to want to interrogate him personally, Rolf hurriedly said:

"Professor Moody, the Triwizard Tournament is not over yet, I need to go first... Goodbye."

Moody nodded, and Uma watched the boy go away reluctantly.

After saying goodbye to Mad-Eye, Rolf took Neville, who was still asleep, and continued to ride the giant octopus back home.

Myrcella also followed.

The last time they parted was in the summer two years ago. They met again after a long time, and there was too much to talk about.

At this time, standing on the referee's bench, Ludo's voice resounded throughout the Black Lake. He said excitedly:

"Oh, it seems that the source of the golden scales on Scamander's body has been answered. It probably came from the mermaid next to him.

Everyone is lucky today. They can see the golden double-tailed mermaid with their own eyes. They are extremely rare and rarely appear in the wizarding world."

"By the way, this mermaid is really beautiful!" Ludo exclaimed, "It is rumored that their beauty is not inferior to that of Veela. It seems that it is not a rumor."

Ludo's praise was recognized by all students, and many boys stared at Myrcella with an obsessed look.

She looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a silver seaweed dress, with a slender figure and curly and fluffy blonde hair. She danced lightly in the water, and her skin was white and flawless.

What was even more attractive were the two golden fish tails below the hips, which made some people with strange XP very excited.

This is a real mermaid!

The mermaids in the Black Lake?

Just ugly mutants!

But just as everyone was enjoying it, the picture on the magic curtain suddenly interrupted, which filled the audience with angry roars.

"It seems that Scamander has actively blocked the monitor again." Ludo teased:

"He may have to do something private with the beautiful mermaid and can't let others see it."

"Okay, let's look at the other warriors. Swinton has rescued Padma Patil and became the second warrior to return. Granger is dealing with the runes in the fourth level..."

Ludo guessed correctly that Rolf did have something private to do:

He needed to help Myrcella check her body.

After making sure that there was no one around, Myrcella, who was sitting on the head of the giant octopus, turned her back to Rolf and shyly took off her upper body clothes, revealing a perfect body with graceful curves and flawless whiteness.

On her snow-white back, there was a very eye-catching gray scale.

This is the unique curse of the golden double-tailed mermaid - gray scale disease.

Myrcella turned her back to Rolf and asked sadly: "Has the area expanded a lot?"

Rolf stretched out his fingers and slowly stroked the skin on Myrcella's back, sighing: "Yes."

Two years ago, when he first saw this gray scale, it was only the size of a mung bean, but now it has spread to the size of a palm.

At this rate, in a few years, Myrcella's entire back will probably be covered with gray scales.

But this is the characteristic of grayscale disease. Over time, it will slowly erode from the back to the buttocks, neck and thighs until the whole body is covered with gray scales... and finally die.

This disease only occurs in female golden two-tailed mermaids. No one can cure it, and no one knows the cause.

However, when Rolf returned to a thousand years ago, he asked Professor Gryffindor, who was familiar with mermaids.

According to him, this grayscale disease originated from the three mermaid sirens on the island of Avalon - Parcelloper.

Parcelloper fell in love with the ancient Greek wizard Odysseus. When Odysseus's ship left Avalon, Parcelloper also chased after him.

The three sirens once swore to stay on the island forever and guard a treasure. Parcelloper broke her oath and was cursed forever.

After Parcelloper's death, this curse continued to her descendants - the golden two-tailed mermaid!

Rolf stared at Mircella's snow-white back, was silent for a moment, and asked softly:

"So, Mircella, did you find Avalon according to the nautical map I gave you?"

Mircella put on her clothes again, she covered her collar, nodded gently, and said in a low voice:

"I found it."
