Chapter 240: The Choice of Flames (3)

The faculty member's desk was now full of professors, and in order to take care of the feelings of the professors of the other five schools, they had to add another row of tables, and the professors stared solemnly at the high platform in front of them, and the Goblet of Fire was burning quietly at this time, emitting a light blue flame. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"All the warriors are going to be decided today?" the little wizards were a little nervous, especially those who thought they were good enough to be chosen.

The professors on the podium looked very relaxed, and the four deans and the professors of several other schools talked in low voices, as if discussing which school was most likely to win the championship.

"The students at Hogwarts seem to be very confident, and this time the champion should be from them. Principal Lan of the Vermilion Bird School of Witchcraft and Wizardry said modestly, looking at Professor McGonagall next to him, Professor McGonagall smiled slightly, and said nothing. Professor McGonagall has a lot of confidence in her students, and there are several good seedlings among them, and Professor McGonagall is very optimistic.

"Ilvermorny's students also look good and have a lot of personality. Professor Flitwick looked at some of Ilvermorny's students sitting at the front and couldn't help but smile, "Look at that blonde wizard, he can't help but cheer." ”

Paul couldn't help but be excited to see the results of the selection immediately, and the wizards who were with him were also looking forward to it.

The professors' chatter could not reach the ears of the students, but the children's chatter was getting louder and louder, Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, trying to maintain order, at this time, the hall opened, everyone immediately quieted down, Professor Dundedo led Minister Fudge, Director Crouch, and Senior Deputy Secretary Umbridge several officials into the hall.

"I didn't expect Fudge to show up in person, it seems that he still attaches great importance to this tournament. Xie An was sitting at the long table in Ravenkla, watching the minister walk in with a spring breeze on his face, and couldn't help but say to himself in some surprise.

"Fudge is an ambitious man, and I wasn't surprised that he was here. Hearing someone talking behind him, Xie An turned his head slightly, and saw Helena floating behind him, Xie An was slightly stunned.

"What about your girlfriends, they weren't with you today?" said Ravenkla's ghost mockingly.

"Helena, are the ghosts interested in the tournament as well?" Xie An asked as if he didn't understand the ghost's ridicule.

"The tournament was only after Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was established, and before I died, the tournament hadn't even begun, and today I heard that there was a new trick, and I wanted to come and see it, wouldn't it?" Helena continued to say haughtily.

"Of course you can, but I didn't expect that the ghost still has such a heavy curiosity. Xie An said with a smile instead.

"Hmph, Andrew, you seem to have had a good time, do you still remember the task I gave you?" Helena said with some anger.

Xie An is very wary of all kinds of weirdness of ghosts, and the ghosts he sees seem to be different from what Dumbledore described, according to the previous Dumbledore's explanation, ghosts are just repetitions of some wizards' memories before their deaths, but whether it is Helena or Bloodman, and Professor Binns, they all seem to have their own consciousness. This made Xie An have to consider whether there is some strange force controlling it.

But Xie An has always had a lot of things, and during this time, he was busy with Voldemort and the Death Eaters, and Xie An didn't have time to investigate the ghost matter for a while, and at this time, Helena took the initiative to appear again, confirming that Xie An'an was slightly uneasy.

With their characteristics, elves are fully capable of influencing the entire wizarding world, and these ghosts, if they really have any intentions, I am afraid that the so-called doomsday judgment and the resurrection of the dead are their pursuit.

Thinking of this, Xie An said coldly: "Lord Helena, haven't I already completed the task you gave me, and I have already reported the investigation to you!"

On that trip to France, Xie An relied on the transformation of Animagus to escape from Mordred's barrier. After a short fight, Xie An already knew that there was a huge gap between himself and the blonde wizard. After the incident, Xie An did not fail to consider the origin of the blonde wizard, and once asked Count Li to mobilize forces to investigate the matter.

But at that time, the power of the Li family was not as large as it is now, and Mordred was too strong, and after retrieving his sealing magic, the strength of this legendary figure was even closer to that of a demigod.

In such a situation, whether it is the Ministry of Magic or other intelligence agencies, there are very few things that can be investigated, as long as those who are really strong, such as Voldemort, find the right answer from the slightest clue.

"Andrew, you didn't do your best to complete the task, as the guardian of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, your negligence and dereliction of duty may directly lead to the destruction of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Helena yelled under her breath.

Xie An sat in a corner, and Penelo Criwatt Chang and Luna sat in the front seat, and they were still very excited about whether they could be selected as the Warriors.

Xie An had long known that with the help of Elder Dora, at least Penelope would definitely be selected, and as for Qiu and Luna, there was almost no chance of being chosen.

The appearance of Helena's ghost also attracted the attention of some wizards, especially several foreign wizards on the rostrum, who were a little surprised to ask, but with the appearance of other ghosts such as Bloodman, Nick, Peeves, etc., Helena was no longer so conspicuous. At this time, Helena's hideous expression was not noticed by several wizards.

Xie An frowned slightly, and didn't look at Helena, "Lord Helena, I don't know what you want me to do! The enemy is strong, I think you know better than me, in this case, I insist on completing your so-called task, the biggest possibility is that I, the guardian, will be killed!"

Helena also seemed to admit this, she didn't blame Xie An too much, but continued: "Let the last failure pass, a new crisis has come, this time I want you to give it your all." ”

"New crisis, what are you talking about?"

"Andrew, there is a conspiracy hidden in this tournament, and this conspiracy involves a huge secret, and if the success of the conspiracy cannot be prevented, the destruction of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is just around the corner. Helena said solemnly.

"I don't understand what you mean, Lady Helena!"

"Hmph, you don't understand now, but you will understand later. I just want to tell you right now, don't think about anything else every day, focus all your attention on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and do your duty as a guardian!"

After being taught a lesson by the ghost of Ravenclaw for no reason, Xie An did not get angry, but felt even more frightened because of Helena's warning. The last time the ghosts had reported the haunting of the basilisk for the first time, although Xie An was also a little worried at that time, he definitely didn't feel this way. The intuition of a long-time doomsday warrior made Xie An understand that what he faced might be a crisis of death.

Thinking of this, Xie An couldn't help but rub his wand. Debondle introduced Minister Fudge again and invited the Minister to speak. Fudge said a lot of words encouraging the International Wizards to unite, and several reporters from the Daily Prophet busily took pictures of the minister.

Finally, Crouch announced that the tournament would start tonight, and that every warrior selected by the Goblet of Fire would sign a magic contract and not be able to quit until the game was over!

After Crouch announced, it was finally the most important moment of the day, Dumbledore stood alone under the Goblet of Fire, and gently lit the Goblet of Fire with his wand, as if he understood what Dumbledore meant, and the Goblet of Fire burned more violently.

The color of the flame also changed from pale blue to red, and finally turned reddish-purple, the flame was already a meter tall, and in the midst of all the attention, the first parchment erupted from the Goblet of Fire.

In the purple-red flames, the first to appear were two beautiful flowers, after the flowers opened, leaving behind two palm-sized pieces of parchment, Dumbledore took the parchment that fell from the air, through the half-moon shaped glasses, and read aloud: "Beauxbatons warriors: Fleur Delacour, Rose Kossazi!" The girls from Beauxbatons cheered, although some of them were obviously very disappointed, and some even had tears in their eyes, but everyone still behaved very gracefully, at least on the surface.

Fleur Delacour is a very well-developed girl, with perfect curves, a beautiful face, long flowing hair, and the only deficiency seems to be her somewhat infantile fat face, and the kind of temperament that is always superior to others.

And the other girl has a sweet appearance, with the temperament of a leading girl, with slightly fluffy black hair, decorative bows, and a face that is always smiling, which makes her look easier to get closer.

Dumbledore motioned for the two girls to come to the podium, and Beauxbatons' headmaster smiled at the two girls, "You guys go to the back first, and when all the warriors are elected, someone will inform you of the next step." Dumbledore pointed to the passage behind the rostrum, where the two girls held hands, waved at Madame Maxim, and went to the back.

"Sometimes they're just like my daughters..."Seeing the two girls leave, Madame Maxim couldn't help but say to Principal Lan beside her.

Dumbledore returned to the Goblet of Fire, and the flame color of the Goblet of Fire began to grow thicker, from red to purple to purple to blue.

It didn't take long for the two pieces of paper to fall into Dumbledore's hands as if they were lifted by a wave of flames, "Durmstrang Warriors: Victor Klum, Mira Galia!" "Victor Krum has commendable courage and good strength, and he is not at all what ordinary wizards think, relying on the protection of Igor Karkarlov to become an honor student. Wizards only noticed Victor Klum's young fame, but little did they know how much he gave up for it.

Mira Galia is the only witch in Durmstran's team, and she still wears a fur coat today, and seems to be very afraid of the cold. With a fur hat on her head, her hair slightly covered her face, and Xie An, who was far away, couldn't see her face clearly.

Dumbledore also motioned for the two to wait in the back first, and Igor Karkaroff applauded the two, "Severus, how is it, these two are still passable." Professor Snape sneered and didn't answer.

The flames slowly turned white from the blue-purple state of coldness, and this state soon turned into the leap of the flame spirit, and a bird that could only see the outline flew out of the flames, flew around the hall for a while, and after flying around the hall, it left behind two pieces of parchment and disappeared into the air.

"The warriors of the Vermilion Bird School of Magic are: Lina, Zhou Shang!" The same man and a woman, two warriors, these two wizards from the Far East, looked calm and restrained. The witch walked in front, dressed in a very ordinary pale cyan loose practice suit unique to the Far East, while the wizard held his head slightly high, as if observing the roof of the Hogwarts Great Hall, wearing a white practice suit. The two of them passed by Deng Li one after the other, and saluted slightly towards the principal. Principal Lan looked at the two of them with satisfaction.

The speed of the next three schools was much happier, first the whole parchment of the Saman Samon was spit out by the Goblet of Fire, and as the parchment slowly fell, the flames burned on the parchment like wildfire in the African savannah, and finally only two full names remained: Cody and Dokru. Xie An saw that the two shamans were not as strong as his companions, one of them looked optimistic, smiled and said a few words to his companions, the other did not have the slightest expression, the oil paint on his face was pale with blood red, he didn't have any words, and went directly to the backstage.

The two warriors of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were also a man and a woman, and the male was none other than Paul Pixar, who was a little jealous of Shea, and the teenager high-fived his companion in celebration, completely oblivious to the dissatisfaction and jealousy in the eyes of his male compatriots. The other witch seemed to be a little shy, Vera Douglas, petite and following Paul like a little henchman.

When the warriors of the other five schools were confirmed, the Goblet of Fire erupted with unprecedented firepower, and the huge flames and the other bonfire flames in the auditorium corresponded to each other, and the whole auditorium seemed to have several more suns at once, so that Dumbledore couldn't help but take a step back, and the students also narrowed their eyes slightly.

The flames erupted like the flames of a fire dragon, and after erupting more than three meters high, they finally fell back, and two pieces of parchment fell from the sky, and Dumbledore took the parchment, and then read: "Hogwarts Warriors: Cedric Diggory, Penelope Crivat." ”
