"We have lost more than a dozen fighters since we discovered it."

The mermaid leader said with a heavy face, "If you can help us get rid of this monster, you will also become a friend of our tribe."

"No problem, leave it to me." Kyle said, and swam towards the kelpie.

Under the constant attacks of the mermaid, the kobold was indeed going crazy. It shook its body vigorously and tried to transform into other shapes to break free from the ropes on its body.

The Kelpie is like the Metamorphmagus from Fantastic Beasts, able to transform itself into a variety of different appearances.

But the mermaids seemed to have suffered losses in this regard and were always able to add a new rope the moment it transformed.

Kyle originally wanted to try to get the Kelpie to relax a little, but it didn't listen to anything at the moment. When it saw Kyle, it immediately opened its mouth and bit him.

Kyle didn't find this situation strange, and he had several solutions.

But that takes time, and now the one-hour deadline is getting closer and closer, and he doesn't want to waste too much time here.

So, Kyle chose the simplest and most brutal one.

He stretched out his magic wand, and a small golden-red fish made of flames emerged from the tip of the wand.

In an instant, the originally cold lake water began to heat up rapidly, and the mermaids screamed and ran away. Then Kyle waved his wand again, and the little fish made of flames disappeared.

Kyle has now mastered the Fiery Curse very well. As he is also in the Black Lake at the moment, in order not to be affected, he deliberately controls the Fiery Curse to the minimum.

But even so, the effect is obvious.

The first thing is that the cold lake water became much warmer, like soaking in a hot spring.

In addition, the Kelpie also became quiet. It stood there motionless, and the look in its eyes when it looked at Kyle was no longer crazy at all, but became clear and bright.

"It would have been great if it had happened earlier." Kyle swam to the side of the water horse and whispered, "Don't get excited, I'm here to save you... Come with me, those mermaids won't attack you anymore."

He untied the ropes wrapped around the kelpie and rolled over to sit on its back.

During this time the Kelpie remained very quiet.

Kyle naturally grabbed the broad-leaved cattail on its body and pointed forward.

"Go this way, better hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

After feeling that the rope that bound it had disappeared, the water monster looked back at the mermaid who was coming towards it, raised its head and neighed, then jumped out directly.

Compared to Kyle's own swimming, the Kelpie's speed was several levels faster... Kyle felt like he was riding an underwater flying broom, and the bubbles above his head were deformed by the water flow.

Whether it was the Grindylow or any other creature, they were all left far behind. All Kyle had to do was hold on to the Kelpie tightly to avoid being thrown off.

It took less than five minutes before Kyle could faintly hear singing.

"The hour is almost up...

How long will you delay...

Come and take back the treasure we have taken away."

Kyle patted the kreuzer and swam in the direction of the sound.

After a while, he came to the middle of the Black Lake, next to a rock pillar with a mermaid pattern painted on it.

This seems to be a mermaid tribe, because there are some stone dwellings like houses around the rock pillars.

Some of the dwellings had gardens, others had a small grindyrow tied to the door.

After seeing Kyle, the mermaids excitedly rushed over from all directions, slapping the lake water with their thick and powerful silver tails, as if trying to show Kyle a warning.

Then... they saw the horse-shaped water monster under Kyle.

The originally melodious singing instantly turned into a shrill scream. The mermaids who were nearby scattered, screaming and trying to get their weapons.

"Why did this monster come back again..."

"Run! The leader has been eaten by it..."

"Get weapons, get weapons..."

There was chaos all around. It was obvious that as fellow aquatic creatures, the mermaids had a natural fear of the kelpies.

But this made it convenient for Kyle. He didn't explain anything, but came to a stone statue of a mermaid.

Three people were tied tightly to the tail of the mermaid statue.

I don’t recognize the one on the far left, but judging by the clothes he’s wearing, he should be from Durmstrang.

In the middle was an eight-year-old girl, Gabrielle, Fleur's sister.

On the far right is Kanna, who has not appeared since being called away by Professor McGonagall last night.

The three of them looked like they were sleeping soundly, their heads drooping limply on their shoulders, and a string of bubbles coming out of their mouths.

They were tied to the statue with three large round locks, which were spaced apart from each other. Only when all the locks were opened could they be freed from the statue.

Kyle didn't have the key, but he had the wand and that was enough.

He stretched out his hand holding the magic wand, and the horse-shaped water monster under him suddenly shook a few times uncomfortably... It seemed to recognize the magic wand and wanted to escape.

Kyle quickly comforted her: "Don't worry...it's okay..."

Although the water horse-shaped monster was still a little uneasy, it had calmed down a lot.

Kyle raised his hand again.

"The divine sword has no shadow."

It was as if an invisible wind cut through the lake water and then passed through the three large round locks, cutting them all in half.

Kyle carried Connor onto the Kelpie, and used the same method to rescue Gabrielle.

Well, that's it...

Kyle looked behind him and saw a large group of mermaids rushing towards him with spears, and then patted the kobold's neck.

…

In the stands on the shore of Black Lake, everyone was complaining quietly.

An hour ago they were so happy, thinking they could see an exciting game, but they ended up blowing in the cold wind by the Black Lake for an hour and saw nothing.

"Who on earth came up with this second project..." Fred pulled the thread on the flag out of boredom and muttered quietly, "The forbidden forest and the bottom of the lake, there's nothing to see here."

"Can't Headmaster Dumbledore just tear down the ceiling of the Great Hall and move it here?"

George couldn't help but say, "That ceiling is enchanted and can show the weather outside. I think it can also show the conditions in the Black Lake, right?"

"Who said it wasn't true? The principal is so stingy." Fred sighed, "I really want to know how Kyle is doing now."

"It should be soon." Cedric looked at the time. "It will be an hour in a few minutes. I believe in Kyle. He will be able to complete the project within an hour."

"I believe it, but everything..."

George stopped talking halfway through his words, rubbed his eyes, and looked towards the lake in disbelief.

Merlin, he seemed to see a horse rushing out of the Black Lake, but this was the Black Lake, not the field outside the Forbidden Forest...

What's even more bizarre is that Kyle was sitting on the horse and leaped onto the lake like a majestic knight.

This... George felt like his brain wasn't enough, but he still clapped reflexively with the people around him.

"That's a Kelpie!" Cedric shouted beside him. "They move as fast as broomsticks in the water. I never thought there would be such a magical animal in the Black Lake."

The stands were filled with noise, people stood up and shouted, and the referees were also clapping. Although it was not known whether one of them was applauding sincerely, at least he clapped.

On the other side, as soon as Kyle left the lake, the unconscious Kanna woke up and blinked a few times in the bright sunlight.

"I knew you could do it," she said, looking at Kyle.

"I admit you have a good eye." Kyle said with a smile, "And we are the first ones out."

Kanna also laughed, but soon she thought of something and asked quickly: "What about Fleur? Has Gabrielle been rescued? She is still so young, the professors really shouldn't have arranged for her to go into the lake."

"I don't know where Fleur is, but Gabrielle is fine now..." Kyle turned sideways, allowing Connor to see Gabrielle lying on the horse's back.

The little girl also woke up. She spat out a large mouthful of lake water and looked around blankly. It was obvious that she didn't understand what was happening.

At this time, Kanna also found something wrong. She seemed to be sitting on a large group of moving water plants.

"What's this?"

"I rescued this horse-shaped water monster from the Black Lake," Kyle explained. "In return, it was willing to give us a ride."
