Circumstances Beyond Expectations
As the saying goes, the unknown is the most terrifying.
After being under constant tension, the fish-men were truly exhausted, both physically and mentally. They even began to hope that the ' Flerken ' would appear soon.
At that time, whether their trap successfully kills the opponent or they are still unable to defeat the opponent and ultimately have to ask the wizard for help, it will be much better than the current limbo, right?
Just when the merfolk were on the verge of a nervous breakdown, an official from the Ministry of Magic actually approached them.
The elders, sporting dark circles under their eyes, learned after a brief conversation with the Ministry of Magic official that the Triwizard Tournament would be held at Hogwarts this year. Furthermore, the Ministry of Magic had decided to hold the second tournament at the Black Lake.
They exchanged glances, and the experienced elders all revealed meaningful smiles.
The facts are already quite clear.
Since Hogwarts is going to hold the Triwizard Tournament this year, which has been a long time coming, there is no doubt that the wizards will conduct a thorough investigation of the security situation within the Hogwarts area.
Therefore, the Flerken must have been forced to migrate out of Hogwarts ' territory for this reason.
This is absolutely fantastic!
They didn't pay any price; the wizards voluntarily helped drive away the "Flerken." What a steal!
(Actually, it was because Shanna took all the Spirit Pet Pill from her own Gege that Fina had no chance to make a mistake.)
"No problem!" (Fishman's words)
Seeing that the wizards were so cooperative and even knew to pay a deposit first, the elders readily agreed to the Ministry of Magic's "request".
"By the way, all the traps in and around your village must be removed to ensure the safety of the contestants." (Fishman's words)
As he spoke, the Ministry of Magic official gave the group of merfolk in front of him a strange look.
What's wrong with these fishmen? Why did they set up so many traps when they were so full? They almost killed him just now!
If this were during the Triwizard Tournament, and the three Champion finally made it here only to face so many dangerous traps, then perhaps none of them would survive.
"No problem!" (Fishman's words)
The elders readily agreed to the other party's reasonable request once again.
Although they spent a lot of effort and materials to make these traps, to be honest, having these traps around is really inconvenient.
In the past few months, nearly 10 members of the tribe have been accidentally injured by these traps.
The fishmen were as happy as they were when they were dismantling those traps, and now they were filled with despair.
They never expected that the ' Flerken ' would be so cunning and audacious.
The opponent actually chose the day of the Triwizard Tournament, and only attacked them again after all their traps had been completely dismantled.
How dare it? Isn't it afraid of being captured by the wizard?
Regardless of whether this "Flerken" will be dissected by the wizard afterward, it will not change the dire situation the fishmen are currently facing.
After a brief silence, with a "boom," the fishmen scattered and fled.
There was no other way. They couldn't fight them head-on, and all the traps had been dismantled. In addition, for safety reasons, all the elderly, weak, women and children in the village had been evacuated yesterday, so they had no reason to stay here and fight to the death.
As for the four Little Wizard on the pillar?
The fish-men don't care.
They were more than happy for the four Little Wizard to be eaten by the Flerken. That way, the enraged wizards would surely skin the Flerken alive.
Although they might also be targeted by the authorities, it would only mean paying a slightly higher price, which is better than being eaten alive.
Smelling the Merpeople smell wafting from the tip of her nose, Fina shook her head, finally recovering from the earlier impact.
"Awooo—! (Don't go—!)"
However, as soon as she recovered, Fina was devastated to find that the delicious fish-people had scattered and fled without saying a word.
This isn't right!
According to the script, shouldn't these fishmen be chasing it like madmen, and then after reaching the designated location, it suddenly turns around and kills it, thus completing the task given to it by Shanna and gaining a lot of delicious food?
How could the fishmen just run away like that?
Come at it head-on! It's easy to apply!
However, Fina's attempts to persuade them to stay were completely ineffective. On the contrary, upon hearing its terrifying howl, the fishmen exerted every ounce of their strength, wishing their parents had given them two more fish tails.
Thanks to the fishmen's fighting spirit of striving for first place, in less than 2 minutes, not a single fishman was left in the village.
Oh no, that poor Patrol Team Captain is still drifting around. He was unfortunately abandoned by his own people.
"Fina!"
Before Fina could decide whether she should chase after it and try to salvage the "beast persona," a chilling shout suddenly came from behind it.
The little guy stiffly turned around, and unsurprisingly, what appeared in its eyes was Shanna's gloomy little face that looked like it could drip water.
"What exactly did you do?!"
Shanna questioned sharply.
Shanna was furious!
You know, she had solemnly promised her Gege that she would not cause any big trouble this time.
She racked her brains for several minutes before coming up with a brilliant plan to lure the fishmen away with Fina as bait.
As a result, even though Shanna had anticipated a variety of scenarios, including good, bad, and neutral, what happened was still far beyond her expectations.
"Waaah~"
With her little ears drooping, Fina let out a pitiful whimper.
"Don't know? Do you even believe that nonsense yourself?!"
Hearing that Fina dared to argue, Shanna reached out and grabbed the little guy by the back of the neck, lifting him up to her face.
"I don't care what you did before that made these fishmen scatter and run away like they'd seen a ghost the moment they saw you."
Minor matters like these can be addressed later when there's more time. Right now, there are more important issues that urgently need to be resolved.
"Anyway, I promised my Gege I wouldn't cause any big trouble. If you dare make me break my promise to my Gege, then I'll make sure you never get to eat a single Spirit Pet Pill again!"
Go and think of a solution for me!
After saying that, Shanna angrily tossed Fina aside.
For a foodie, nothing is more effective than confiscating someone's food.
Therefore, in order to satisfy her cravings, Fina had no choice but to use her not-so-bright little brain and try hard to think of a solution.
