Chapter 241: Level 1: Ancient Potion

Twelve warriors, including Penelope Crewatt, were all chosen, and before leaving the Ravenclaw table, Penelope looked back in the crowd to find Andrew, who was sitting alone in the corner, the ghost Helena floating behind him, and Andrew hung his head, seemingly showing no interest in the warriors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

It's not loneliness that chooses you, it's that you choose loneliness.

A wizard once said that different forms of Animagus determine different ways of thinking. If the different human forms are also considered to be a kind of Animagus form, the old form may be more calm, and the younger form may be more energetic, but no matter which form, politeness and calmness will always make the wizard appear calm and confident.

Even in the corner, the center of attention was still the center, and Penelo Crivat followed Cedric Diggory to the podium with some disappointment, and all the Hogwarts students cheered and cheered for the two Warriors.

"Cedric Diggory is just a Hufflepuff prefect, how can he be better than me!" said the president of the male student council angrily.

"Shomo, your anger only proves your failure even more. "It's not just the male student council president who feels offended by his majesty, but also Tale, the female student council president.

"Talai, I know you're not feeling good either, so do you have any good ideas now?" the tall Wizard of Humo, sneered at the beautiful witch with a pale complexion and a flush on her face due to her excitement.

The witch did not reply, but also sneered, and turned to leave the Great Hall.

No matter where you are, there will always be people who wonder if something is wrong with the outside world and if they have malicious intentions towards themselves. The wizard who was not chosen at this time began to explain his failure for various reasons, including, of course, the issue of the Goblet of Fire.

Headmaster Dundedo motioned for Cedric Diggory and Penelope Crivat to go backstage first, and someone would tell them what the first task would be.

After the two Warriors left, Dumbledore went on to say to all the students, "Twelve Warriors have been chosen, and I think there are already wizards who are beginning to regret not signing up in time. It's just a competition, and if you miss it, you will have the opportunity to participate in other competitions and win higher honors. But sometimes, there are some things, once missed, there is no chance to make up for it. ”

Changing the way he spoke in the past, Deng Liduo briefly reminded the students to cherish the opportunity in front of them, "The current beautiful learning environment, you may never encounter it again in the future, the beautiful youth now, will never come back, no matter how you are ready to squander your youth, I hope you will not regret what you missed in the future." Well, now that the twelve warriors have been selected, everyone can go back, and there will be a special notice for the game schedule later. Now go back to sleep!"

The students left the auditorium in disagreement, and the professors left one after another, leaving the five other school leaders, as well as Dumbledore, the four deans, and the ministers.

"Minister Fudge, let's go and give the little warriors the first assignment now!" Shaman Seman said to Minister Fudge.

"Of course, Shaman Seman, your body is still so healthy. I guess the first quest you designed must be related to the creatures of the grassland. You're an expert on magical creatures in Africa, and you're all too familiar with those savannah creatures. Minister Fudge asked after returning the salute to Shaman Seman.

"Minister, there are countless magical creatures on the grassland, and I only know a few of them, and some dangerous creatures, even me, can't get close to them at all. Like purple mamba snakes, insectivorous ants, four-clawed vultures, these creatures are very dangerous, where do I dare to claim to be familiar with grassland creatures. Saman said modestly.

"Haha, Lord Seyman, you are too modest, I have heard legends about you since I was a child, and your many studies on magical creatures in Africa have inspired us juniors. Igor Karkarov said.

"This is not the time to gossip, there are still twelve children waiting for us, and I think we can arrange the children first, and then go to the pig's head bar to get together!" said Madame Maxim condescendingly.

Several tutors seemed to suddenly think of their students at this time, and they all hurried to the backstage.

From the selection of the first pair of warriors to the final selection of Champions from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the time is only a short time for the students outside, but for the students waiting in the background, it feels extremely long. Finally seeing Principal Dumbledore appear with his mentor, the twelve warriors couldn't help but relax a little.

"Let's wait a long time, I'm very happy to see so many new magic talents selected today, but you still lack training, and the tournament will provide a suitable platform for training. Five schools of international civilization have gathered the wisdom of the school and designed five levels. Don't take it lightly, or you'll probably be eliminated in the first round!" Minister Fudge said kindly to the twelve warriors. As a good politician, Secretary Fudge has been perfect. The twelve warriors relaxed a lot.

Barty Crouch took out a piece of parchment, looked at it and said, "The competition is unrelated, there are two levels in the first half of the semester, and before announcing the details of the competition, I need to divide you into three groups, four wizards in each group!"

The twelve warriors looked at each other, and they also defaulted to the fact that the warriors of the same school were a group, and in the end, they would compete with each other.

"The purpose of the tournament is to promote communication and union between wizards, and if you simply have people divided into schools, it won't have any effect. Principal Lan said to the twelve warriors in English.

The warriors nodded, and Mr. Crouch took out a pocket and motioned for the warriors to step forward, "Draw lots to decide on the group, first stand in a position, stand in a circle, okay, that's it, Mr. Paul, please stand in your own place, Zhou Shang, you come first!" The twelve warriors stood in a circle in order, and Crouch came to the warriors of the Suzaku School of Magic, signaling to start with him first, and draw the first ball engraved with numbers.

"The twelve balls are numbered from 1 to 12 in Arabic numerals, and later in order, 1 to 4 is the first group, 5 to 8 is the second group, and the remaining 9 to 12 are the third group. ”

"This number doesn't have any special significance, just to divide the group, so let's start with the Suzaku Magic School at twelve o'clock. ”

Zhou Shang cautiously put his hand into the pocket, originally he wanted to choose the number by touch, who knows, this pocket seems to have no bottom, he didn't feel the ball in it at all, after sticking his arm into it, he still didn't touch the bottom of the bag that was only the size of an adult's palm from the outside. Zhou Shang looked at Crouch suspiciously, Crouch smiled, and suddenly, a small ball automatically flew into Zhou Shang's hand.

Zhou Shang took out the small ball that flew into his hand in confusion, and looked at Principal Lan in confusion.

"Not bad, 6 is a good ball, according to the Far East, it's a good number, isn't it?!" Seeing Zhou Shang take out the first small ball engraved with the number 6, Crouch said with a smile.

"Don't worry about cheating, this bag can block magic, and these balls are also specially made, you can't sense the numbers on them with magic. Crouch approached the Suzaku Warrior and motioned for her to bring out the second one.

The warriors took out the balls in turn, whether it was the warriors or the mentors, they all held their breath, secretly calculating in their hearts, six schools, twelve warriors, divided into three groups, which had been discussed a long time ago. In fact, the role of such a grouping is only in the first three levels.

But all wizards understand that if they can accumulate enough advantages in the early stage, then the more likely they are to win the championship in the future, and for this reason, it is naturally easier to score well in the first three levels with strong teammates.

It's a pity that the six schools, except for the three in Europe, are not too familiar with each other, so in this case, it would be a good advantage to have a familiar Hogwarts home wizard in the team.

The two Hogwarts Warriors were drawn as No. 3 and No. 9 respectively, with Cedric Diggory as No. 3 and Rose Cossaczy of Beauxbatons, Victor Klum of Durmstrang and Cody of Saman Shaman forming the first group of Warriors.

Penelope Crivat, who was drawn to number 9, formed the third group with Lina from Suzaku School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Paul from Ilvermorny, and Vera.

In the middle, Zhou Shang, Shaman Doklu, and Furong and Mira from the Vermilion Bird Magic School formed the first group.

This grouping seems reasonable. Except for the two warriors of Ilvermorny who were divided into one group, the warriors of the other schools were divided into two groups.

The two Hogwarts wizards were also divided into two groups, but there was a faint rivalry. After a brief grouping, Crouch asked the twelve warriors to adjust their positions, stand with their team, and said, "Alright, guys, the simple grouping is complete, so now I'll announce the content of the first level." ”

After saying that, Crouch took out three copies of parchment, smiled at the Saman Shaman, and said to the warriors: "Wizard Zeman provided the idea for the first level, which is the recipe for the three potions, and the method of making this potion," Crouch gave the three potion recipes marked with one, two, three numbers to each of the three groups of warriors, "as you can see." These three potion recipes have been passed down for a long time, and the names of the materials needed and the methods of making them are all written directly in ancient magic scripts, so it is fair to everyone, and your task in the first level is to make these three different potions according to the recipes. Crouch taught each of the three groups of warriors three potion recipes written in ancient script, and the warriors hurriedly gathered around to look at them. The ancient scripts on it are very complicated, and it seems to be older than the ones taught in ordinary magic schools. Knowing that the problem would not be too simple in a competitive competition, but it was such a difficult magic text identification at the beginning that still made all the warriors feel slightly surprised.

"There are two things to remind you of: first: these ingredients and Headmaster Dumbledore have confirmed that there is only one ingredient in each recipe that cannot be obtained directly from Hogwarts, so each of your teams has a chance to rescue and have the Mentor help you solve one of the ingredients. But there is only one chance, and once you use it incorrectly, it may mean that you can't get the herbs that you really can't get, and you can't get them anymore. ”

"The second point to remind everyone is that the potion that is dispensed will be an important auxiliary potion in the second level, that is, if there is a group that does not dispense qualified potions, or even can't hand over unqualified potions, then it may face greater difficulties in the second level. ”

After reminding him of these two points, Barty Crouch circled, "Do you have any questions?"

"Mr. Crouch, may we ask our classmates?" asked Paul hurriedly. Looking at the ancient magic texts like heavenly books, Paul knew that this was too difficult for him.

"Theoretically, no. Crouch blinked.

"Mr. Crouch, is it okay for each of us to work together to make a potion?" asked the Dokroo Shaman, who seemed confident.

"Of course, Mr. Dokru, even if you are a high-ranking disciple of Master Zeeman, it seems to me that even one will be very difficult for you. Barty said with a smile. Dokru shook his head unconvinced.

"And what about those things that are forbidden, except to ask classmates?" asked Durmstrang's Mira slowly.

"Good question, the rules are actually not too many, except that you are not allowed to ask your classmates, you are not allowed to ask the professor, of course, that opportunity is not counted. There are no other prohibitions. ”

"Children, be careful, the formula of the Saman is not simply to translate the ancient magic text, find all the materials, and follow the steps to configure a qualified potion, which contains all kinds of twists and turns, if you are not careful, there will even be fatal dangers. Madame Maxim couldn't help but remind at this time.

"The tournament is held to train you, so the rules are not complicated, and in short, I hope that everyone will rely on their own strength to get through the difficulties. If there are no problems, you can leave with the recipe. Oh, by the way, I want to remind everyone that these three recipes can't be leaked!" Barty Crouch explained at the end, signaling for the Warriors to go their separate ways.

"Mr. Crouch, I have one more question. Victor Krum asked suddenly.

"What's the problem, Mr. Crouch?" Crouch stopped.

"Can the three Warrior teams exchange information with each other?"

Crouch smiled strangely, "Of course, if you want to!"
