Chapter 234: News
Just as Darren and Hermione were studying the game, Krum walked out of the field after scoring, two thick black eyebrows that made him look like he was always wrinkled together, his legs were a little outward, and his shoulders were visibly bent forward, which was obviously related to his Quidditch game, always sitting on a broomstick, and having a hard time maintaining a proper posture. ┡E』Ω*.
Darren waved to Krum, "Very good, congratulations on your success." ”
Krum clearly didn't expect Darren to do this, and he nodded, "Thank you," with a thick foreign accent.
Looking at Krum's back, Hermione still whispered, "He's still injured......"
"Do you see any burns?"
"Burns?"
"Yes," Darren took Hermione's hand and walked slowly towards the tent, "he was completely engulfed in the flames of the Wasp Dragon. ”
"He's got an ice shield, by the way, he must have heard the Commentary, learned from you. ”
"Oh, that only means that he reacts quickly, do you remember what Bagman said when I dealt with the short-nosed dragon, even if the ice shield can block the flames, the hot air heated by the flames is still quite dangerous, and what passes by the shield is not the smoke after burning, but the real flame, which will produce light and heat. ”
"Is it?" Hermione hesitated as she heard Darren's words.
"So, in addition to his spells that can effectively attack the fire dragon, he is also very good at fire magic, at least to ensure that he is not harmed by the flames. ”
"Then why did he use the Ice Shield?"
"Maybe it's to minimize the heat, after all, if it can save effort and be safer, who wants to take unnecessary risks?"
While walking towards the tent, Darren was talking to Hermione about the game just now, the three of them had different ways of passing their respective tasks, but according to Darren's evaluation, in terms of magic level, Krum should be the strongest, if it can be digitized, his attributes must be the highest, and the tactics he chose can deal with any of the three fire dragons, but the risk is relatively large.
And Darren's attributes should be the same or slightly weaker than Fleur, this is judged by Fleur using a wand to turn water into water to extinguish the fire, if it was replaced by him at that time, there would probably be no way to get so much water in a short time, otherwise there would be no need to find a pit in the ground when solidifying the ice shield, but he is better at the method, that is, the skills are good and the operation is strong, but in fact, if his method of dealing with the fire dragon really meets the original target tree bee dragon, I am afraid that the stability of the tunnel still needs to be strengthened, although it is an accident for the short-nosed dragon, but it is still more suitable overall, and the worst thing is to meet the Welsh green dragon, how to get the other party to leave the dragon egg, it will give him a headache。
As for Fleur, her magic level is not low, but her physical fitness is a shortcoming, and her magic is limited by range, if it is not the most docile Welsh green dragon, even a short-nosed dragon, it is very dangerous for her, not to mention Krum's tree bee dragon, but who made her lucky, the first to choose the most suitable fire dragon, Darren felt that Mrs. Maxim should thank Hagrid.
Just as Darren was about to enter the tent, Bagman came from behind, "Oh, Darren, you've done so well, even though I've never seen a fight with a dragon, the dragon tamers were going to faint with excitement just now, and they've been loudly praising your methods...... Ah, and Miss Granger, you're here too," Darren didn't know if he really didn't see Hermione, or if he was pretending to be stupid, and the two of them were standing together.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to delay Darren for a few minutes," Bagman said politely to Hermione, who had already told him that Hermione was in charge of the gambling.
Hermione stayed outside, Bagman and Darren walked into the tent together, Fleur and Krum were already inside, "You're all doing a good job!" Bagman exclaimed, "Well, I only have a few words to say, the second project will start at half past nine in the morning on February 24th next year, and you can rest for a long time before that—but we'll leave some questions for you to consider! You look down at the golden eggs you're holding and you'll see that they're ready to open...... See the seams there? You've got to unravel the clues in the egg -- that's going to tell you what the second project is, and you're ready to go!
Darren deliberately stayed at the end, knowing that the tent was magically enchanted to ensure that the conversation inside was not overheard, "Is there any news from the Ministry of Magic?" He asked in a low voice.
"It's still like that, nothing has changed, I haven't heard anything new from the Ministry," Bagman, who was originally elated, mentioned that the Ministry of Magic had become lazy, apparently he was very happy with his life at Hogwarts, although Darren did not allow him to bet on his own bet, but promised to give him a commission, and this guy would definitely open the game, hoping that he would not lose too much this time.
"There are no personnel changes, so what happened to the Department of International Cooperation?" Darren had previously asked Bagman and Barty Crouch about the Magic Player under the pretext of giving several directors of the Ministry of Magic.
"You would never guess that since Crouch left, there is only one person in charge of that department, and he is a new recruit this year, and it is said that he was so excited that he was assigned to handle all the work of the International Cooperation Division, and he worked overtime until late at night every day, which made the front desk of the department very distressed. ”
Oh...... Well, Percy is indeed that kind of person, hard work.
"By the way, while the Ministry of Magic doesn't have a big deal, I've heard that the house-elf relocation office of the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control has received a job with a house-elf waiting to be assigned. ”
"Oh? There will be house-elves waiting to be allocated, don't wizarding families want to be able to have them?" Darren was really a little surprised by this news, after seeing Kreacher's skills, he definitely wanted to have a house-elf, listening to Bagman's meaning, it seems that the house-elf is still a little difficult to deal with.
"Yes, but what people need is a house-elf who can serve the family, not a trouble, that elf is in a terrible state, it is said that he used to work in the Crouch house, and then he was sent to the house-elf resettlement office for some unknown reason, but he lost his ability to work, and he was a mess all day long, and he always didn't know what to say, so no one wanted to claim it, and the necessary fees were not a lot. ”
