At the end of the meal, Alan finally gave up the idea of asking how the dish was made.

It's okay to talk about other problems, but the main ingredient is really not very convenient to do at Hogwarts - owls are not cute and cute guys who only eat owl food, about 10% of their food is smaller birds, pigeons or something, it is completely impossible to exist at Hogwarts, just like rolling and occasionally getting a bamboo rat to open meat, and the bunch of messengers definitely don't mind changing their rations...

Therefore, after the meal, Alan took Anne and left directly, leaving the clean pot and the unextinguished fire to Selma-san - everyone who had been in the Forbidden Forest for so long, and he believed that Selma-san was capable of dealing with all the follow-up problems.

With enough soup and food, Allen's previous depression was completely gone, and he returned directly to the lounge after sending Anne back.

——

The week passed pretty fast - they were soon gathered again, eight people gathered in a tent and listened to Crouch announce the game.

"It's been a long time, ladies and gentlemen, and after a week, I think you all have your own thoughts on how to participate in the competition - of course, you don't need to rush to say your decision now, we have enough time to explain everything, after all, the students have not yet been informed. ”

Haven't been notified yet?

What are you kidding - is this really a Triwizard Tournament and nothing else?

Alan raised an eyebrow, feeling that the game had suddenly become interesting. The unknown is challenging, and if you follow the previous routine, it will be too boring.

Unfortunately, not everyone had such a mind for the tournament organizers, especially Fleur, who had the worst temper, and she questioned in a very disgruntled voice: "The students haven't been notified yet, God, are we having an international competition?" I think even a wizarding village has more formal celebrations at Christmas than this, at least there are enough people coming near the beginning. ”

It's not just Fleur - the rest of the contestants don't look very good, after all, the audience is too childish at this point in the game, why not let them compete against the empty arena?

But Bagman was clearly a good man today, and he grinned at the group of warriors and pulled out a cloth bag, and then placed the light blue silk cloth bag in the middle of the crowd.

"Okay, let's start the lottery next, but before the lottery, I still have to explain the rules to everyone. ”

"The warriors of the four schools draw one of the four sets of lots, and then think about how to form a team - there are two kinds of four ribbons, one with stripes and the other without, the teams with stripes can enter the playing field half an hour early to make their own preparations, while the teams without stripes will enter the field after half an hour, but they will be given an easy map, and then they will carry out their own mission. ”

"The final task of each team is to find their own golden eggs- We will give each team the corresponding parchment before the start of the game, and the magic seal on it will be lifted after the subsequent team enters, and then you can follow the map on the parchment to find your own golden eggs, but it should be noted that after the subsequent team enters ten minutes, the map in their hands will show the location of everyone's golden eggs, and each of the opponent's golden eggs will get you extra points, and the exit of the field will be marked with magic ten minutes after the subsequent team enters, then you can leave through the exit and count the score, you understand？”

Bagman asked as he pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat as he took out a long list of words in one breath, apparently tired.

Jouk, the warrior from Brazil, scratched his head and asked, "What if you don't leave with the golden eggs?"

"Zero points of course, no doubt about it, sir - the same rule is that if you choose to team up when you enter, your score will remain zero unless your teammates are confirmed to be unfit for the game. ”

"And what about solo entry?"

"As I said before, if you go solo, the map of your Golden Egg will be sent to your teammates - and your Golden Egg will have the same score as three other Golden Eggs, so I personally don't recommend you to choose this option, because if you go solo, you will have no resistance against the combination of two wizards. ”

Bagman said it very carefully, and it was clear that the rules and regulations of the game had been manipulated for a long time to get this result.

To put it bluntly, it is almost mandatory to require the warriors of each school to team up for a match, otherwise you will have a natural disadvantage in terms of the opponent's environment and scores.

However, there is also a considerable problem - that is, if you think about it, when burying the golden eggs, you will never bury the golden eggs of people belonging to the same school very closely, and ten minutes is definitely not enough for them to find all the golden eggs, unless the last team does not have any desire to attack, otherwise they will definitely snatch the golden eggs that mean extra points.

Very interesting project - if you have a strong detective magic, you can fish out someone else's golden egg and take it away, if you are good at breaking the seal on the parchment, you can also fish out your own golden egg in advance, if you have strong hands-on ability, snatching is also a very useful method, in short, you bring out the golden egg is a victory.

None of the people present were stupid, and they quickly figured out the whole game mode.

At the same time, it's easy to see why all the students weren't informed of this - unless it's unlucky, the game will hardly fluctuate after the three teams are separated from each other, and there is no value in shouting out to the audience, until the last team enters and the game really begins.

"Alright, let's start the lottery. Bagman smiled and opened his pocket, then reached for Fleur, who had two ladies, and said, "Ladies first." ”

Fleur barely hesitated to reach in - a striped ribbon appeared in her hand.

Her face was obviously happy, obviously very satisfied with this lottery - this is an obvious thing, don't look at the person who came in behind has a map as a remedy, but the person who enters first obviously has a geographical advantage, whether it is to probe or do ambush to make a profit, which is far more profitable than a map.

Then there were the Windsor Ones, and Windsor pulled out the ribbon, which, like Fleur, was the one that entered early.

It was Alan who came down - Alan patted Harry on the shoulder, "Go ahead, Harry, pull out the one that entered early, or we'll go back and train up." ”

Harry's face turned much whiter, as if it had been powdered—he hadn't tried Alan's reprimand, so he shuddered a little at the sight of the word.

He glanced at Alan with resentment - can luck be worked on?

After asking Merlin for his blessing countless times, Harry reached in - solid...

Bagman smiled and patted Harry on the shoulder: "Very good signing, go back and prepare." ”

As for the rest of the Brazilian side, Bagman also showed the last ribbon - like Fleur, it was a variegated striped ribbon.

"Alright, you guys wait in the tent, let's call people outside, call that team, that team will come out and get ready to enter the playing field. Bagman said as he walked towards the outside of the tent, leaving Eren and the eight of them inside.

Everyone smiled at each other, and then they all chose the corner of the tent at the same time, and then made the magic of soundproofing, and began to discuss.

After a few minutes, everyone canceled their spells almost simultaneously, and waited for Bagman to summon them.

Soon, the other three groups were called out, leaving Alan and Harry in the tent waiting for the game to begin.

Alan angrily took out the book from his pocket, and looked at it without a page as if he was passing the time.

"Alan, why are you in such a hurry to get that card in first?" asked Harry, leaning over.

"Just like them, an ambush!" Alan replied angrily - he wouldn't tell Harry that he had a bold plan when he heard the rules of the game.

Although the venue or anything has not yet been seen, Alan has completely inferred about where the venue is, and if his guess is correct, the playing field should be in the Forbidden Forest.

It was confusing when the rules were unclear before, but since it was possible to prepare such a large playing field without revealing any details, the venue would definitely not run in the Forbidden Forest - if it was a flat land, then it would be a hidden hair, Alan had played the Seeker, Krum was an active Seeker, and Harry was also a Seeker, so everyone could greet each other from afar.

"What are you looking at!"

"What are you doing?"

Then you can pull out your wand and beat you to the death - the little golden snitch can find out, and you're still hiding from the flat!

Therefore, it is only on the Forbidden Forest side that a place can be found to carve out a piece of land that is enough for the warriors to hide themselves, and as for the preparations, the matter of digging a pit and a flower map is simple and clear, and it has a good role in secrecy, which is very cost-effective.

But it wasn't the same when Eren went in - not to mention his strong tracking skills from the Widowmaker, the legacy of a bunch of botanical heroes alone doomed the Forbidden Forest to be his home turf.

Alan thought so when he heard the rules - the golden egg was the mark of the follow-up, and the exit was the mark of the follow-up, but under his tracking, those were all pieces of cake, and when a group of people were stupidly still waiting for the game to officially start in the Forbidden Forest, Alan and Harry were able to pick up all eight golden eggs for him, and then run out directly through the unmarked exit.

Well, before the parchment could break the seal, the golden eggs were all gone, and then Alan could drink juice and sing songs outside the venue, waiting for the people inside to think about life in the eight empty dirt pits with a confused face.

As for the pit, Windsor seems to be a little pitted, but Alan feels that Windsor will definitely forgive him...

It's great to apologize to that girl in the pit at Windsor - it doesn't take much to leave a note, does it?

It's a pity that the plan to watch a group of people wander through the woods was completely ruined by Harry's hapless luck - this hapless boy!

——

As the pages of Alan's hand turned, the footsteps, noise, laughter, and screams outside grew louder, and it was obvious that the audience had been notified of the entrance one after another.

Listening to the footsteps, Allen's resentment couldn't help but grow a little bigger - if it was when they went in first, I don't know how this group of guys would react when they just entered the competition venue and were told that the game was over...

Harry on the side found that the eyes looking at him were becoming more and more disgusted, but he was completely confused by the second monk, and he didn't know where the disgust in Alan's eyes came from...

After a long time, Harry was saved from his disgust, and Bagman came to the tent with a smile on his face, and handed over a thick piece of parchment in a magic seal - to be honest, Alan found that Bagman looked at Harry as if he had seen a large bag of gold, and his eyes were full of kindness and joy.

"Are you in a hurry?" Bagman pretended to be bold: "But it's useless, the game is the game, the rules are the rules, you still have three minutes to enter, come out and prepare first - by the way, I take the liberty of asking, you chose to form a team, right?"

How much are you betting on Harry?

Alan sneered - the game is set up like this, is there anyone who has the audacity to think that they can fight two people alone?

Of course, if the Warriors at Hogwarts choose someone that Alan doesn't know, Alan will definitely unceremoniously team up alone and grab everyone.

"No problem, let's go in a party and don't have to get a second map. Alan replied casually, seeing Bagman's face change when he heard the second map - isn't it, you as the organizers didn't even consider that the last people to come in had plans to separate?

Complaining inwardly, Alan took Harry and followed Bagman out of the tent.

As Alan expected, the venue for the competition was in a corner of the Forbidden Forest.

Over there, the magical stands were already full of spectators, just waiting for Alan and the two of them to burrow into the woods.

The Hogwarts students, who were at home, did not hesitate to give their applause to the warriors of their own school, and the people from several schools around them were full of depression - the cheerleaders with home advantage were indeed too advantageous.

"Five seconds left, Hogwarts Warriors prepare!"

Bagman's voice floated in the distance, and the map was now fully prepared and placed on Harry's body.

"It's time, it's time to play!"
