Grindylow

In the breathtaking underwater world, Penelope and Merpeople hold two gray Kate, murky Lobalug Merpeople, giving the impression of them sweeping the floor with a vacuum cleaner.

Penelope didn't come to her senses until Ryan yelled "Start!"

Beneath them, on the seabed covered with snow-white sand, red, blue, purple, and all sorts of corals grew continuously. From the holes in the corals, green monsters kept poking their heads out.

Good heavens, this thing has green teeth, long fingers, and sharp horns on its head.

"Hmph, Grindylow is not simple. They mainly attack fish with their very long fingers, and even ambush Muggle and wizards passing by the water. Their greatest strength is their fingers, which is also their weakness."

"That's because Grindylow's fingers are very long and strong, yet brittle and fragile!"

"The best way to get rid of them is to make them unable to hold you, to Relashio, that is, to Separation Spell, which will do a good job of dealing with them," Kate said smugly. In the seawater, her black hair clung tightly to her fair skin, and it had grown much longer, covering her private parts.

"No, the Separation Spell will only turn into a scalding hot water column underwater. It's useful, but not very useful. Besides, our mission is to shoot as many Grindylow as possible with Lobalug," Penelope said cautiously. Strangely enough, although she could feel the warm seawater underwater, speaking and breathing were just like on land.

The only shameful thing was this outfit. If his hair hadn't grown so long and covered up what he shouldn't have been showing, then Ryan, that brat, would definitely have made a scene.

Penelope glared at Ryan, then came over to Kate and began discussing tactics in a low voice.

"Hey! Aren't you guys curious? Why is it a shooting game, and why is it scored, with the reward being the pronunciation of Mermish words that drop? This is clearly a competitive game!" Ryan reminded her from the side, then added that there was a mysterious grand prize, trying to interrupt Penelope's plan.

Penelope, however, remained undeterred. During the brief movement, she discovered that the speed and movement on the seabed were different from those on land. It was as if she had truly grown a fish tail, which would slide along with her whenever she thought of the direction she wanted to go.

She knew that even if Ryan was playing a prank, it wouldn't be without reason. Without a wand, the Lobalug was the secret to dealing with Grindylow. The next step was to test the effects of the venom and then adjust her strategy accordingly.

Now, it's up to Kate.

Then, the slaughter, which Ryan found visually appealing but tedious, began. After Kate used her height advantage to test the venom's effects in the coral reef, Penelope closely followed Kate's blind spots, hunting down any stragglers. Based on the venom's effective time, she slowly counted in her mind: one, three, four, five.

A woman who is truly charming, strategic, and Wisdom is indeed more captivating.

As expected, the Golden Card appeared soon, accompanied by a surging wave that sent everything flying. The Hippocampus appeared, lowering its large head. At Penelope's signal, Kate leaped onto it, while Penelope stood still, adjusting the angle.

With the help of the Hippocampus, the game quickly came to an end.

"Ryan, what is this extra reward you mentioned?" Penelope asked, head held high, with Kate by her side, as she rode around Ryan on the Hippocampus.

Ryan seemed reluctant to leave, which made Penelope blush, while Kate seemed oblivious, pulling Ryan's arm and asking him all sorts of questions.

"Alright, alright, this is one of the rewards for the game." As Ryan finished speaking, the falling gold and black musical notes formed two books, one flying towards Penelope and the other towards Kate. Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of knowledge, Penelope and Kate were stunned.

In the realm of consciousness, everything passed quickly, but for Penelope and Kate, it felt like an eternity as they painstakingly memorized the pronunciation and meaning of the Mermish.

Then, Ryan's voice rang out, a voice with a strange magic that gradually soothed his brain, which had just memorized a lot of information.

"And the winner is you, Kate, and the reward is—" Ryan deliberately dragged out his words.

"What's the reward?" Kate couldn't hold back any longer and kept bumping the tablet against Ryan. Penelope couldn't stand it and pulled it a few times, but Kate seemed not to notice.

"Okay, okay, the reward is—ta-da!" Then, the two of them left Ryan's mind. In reality, Ryan took out a beautifully packaged box and handed it to Kate.

Kate unceremoniously opened it and took out a wristband with a knob on the base.

"This wristband absorbs and stores sunlight during the day, and at night, or whenever you need it, turning it will dispel the darkness and bring light," Ryan emphasized.

"What is this? It's just a portable version of the magic lamp." Kate said with a disdain as she fumbled around with a smile, occasionally showing it off to Penelope.

"Kate Lewinster! You little dwarf!" Peneno finally couldn't hold back and started arguing with Kate.

"Kate, the light emitted by this wristband is no ordinary sunlight. Even the Hand of Glory, which can make one's vision go black, cannot block its light," Ryan introduced. You see, although Ryan was not very interested in Alchemy, before Ryan transmigrated, that is, before he was 7 years old, he had been studying Alchemy diligently and inherited the Smith alchemy technique that had been passed down for thousands of years. This work, although it was made casually, is still extraordinary.

After the playful banter ended, Ryan ordered three scoops of nut ice cream and began chatting about his trip to France, with Penelope as the central figure.

Strangely enough, Penelope always changed the subject at crucial moments, and Kate would playfully laugh it off.

Meanwhile, in Flint's eyes, these three strange little wizards suddenly began to communicate, and the little wizard even gave a gift to one of the witches, which eventually led to a fight.

The entertainment industry is so chaotic, have you fallen behind the times?

Not far away, Ryan noticed Flint's gaze and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Is this the poor boss who was captured by the Death Eaters and eventually killed because he knew the secrets of Ravenclaw's Diadem and the Elder Wand?"

"How did the Death Eaters know these things? It couldn't be because this guy likes to show off his knowledge, could it?"

Finally, after Ryan accompanied Penelope and Kate to buy textbooks and supplies for the next semester, he couldn't wait to slip away.
