Ryan stared at Harry very seriously after hearing Harry's uneasy questioning. Harry opened his mouth when he felt a little uneasy to see, "If you feel uneasy, I'll practice a little with you this week, in fact, it just needs to practice a few basic spells you master, there is no need to be so nervous." By the way, if you believe me, you can give me your usage quota, and I will make something during this time, I think it should at least be more affordable than you buying the finished product directly. ”

"No problem. Harry nodded forcefully. "I'll give you all my quota. ”

"Thank you for believing in me. With that, Rai got up and patted Harry on the shoulder, then said as he walked to the back studio. "I assure you that the magic items we use are definitely better than the other two. ”

Over the next few days, Ryan made two bottles of underwater breathing potion. Because according to his inference, it was likely that the first game was too late to change at that time, so they simply and rudely added a few dragons to settle the matter.

However, the organizers of the second game have a lot more preparation time than the first game, and it is likely that they have directly expanded the content of the game for the sake of the game. In other words, mixing the original underwater rescue into this new competition as a part of the new competition can at least save a lot of trouble, and at the same time, it will not waste the original arrangement.

In addition to preparing the props, Ryan spent part of his time training Harry. The tents that the contestants are currently living in are supposed to be specially approved by the Ministry of Magic, and in addition to a daily three-bedroom room, there is a laboratory and a magic practice room. The two of them are now practicing martial arts on the improvised basis in the magic practice room.

"Why is it that the magic we both use when we practice is so simple, except for the illusion charm, I already know all the spells?" asked Harry at the end of the day's practice, with some curiosity. "For example, the Disarming Charm, the Iron Armor Charm, the Crushing Charm or something. ”

"You've seen it when I've been alchemizing, and in all fairness, do you think you'll be able to learn it in these five days?" Ryan asked rhetorically after hearing Harry's complaints.

"I can't learn it. Harry admitted dryly. "But what does this have to do with practicing the spells you've already learned all day?"

"Spells and alchemy are the same, and it's not easy to master something new. In the ancient days of the Celestial Empire, a general once said that when he went to the battlefield, it was already very good to be able to give full play to 1/3 of what he knew, and half of those who could play were excellent talents. He has fought all his life, and he has never seen anyone who can give full play to his abilities on the battlefield. Our games are also the battlefield, as long as you can master those basic combat spells to make sure you can use them in crunch time. Trying to get new and powerful spells is likely to lower our level on the field. ”

"I see. Harry stood up and walked to the corner of the practice room and began to practice the basic spells. It has to be said that Harley is indeed talented in Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Ryan has found that his ability to release spells in this area has improved visibly every day in the past few days.

The five days passed fairly quickly - all the contestants were soon gathered again, and all six contestants were called to a tent on the edge of the Forbidden Forest to listen to Crouch announce the competition.

"It is a pleasure to see you again, ladies and gentlemen. Although he said that he was happy, there was no sign of joy in Crouch's stiff face. "In the past five days, I'm sure everyone is ready for the next game. With that, he glanced at the people below.

The competition plan of each school can be seen from the outfits of everyone, and the players in Durmstrang and Beauxbatons each carry different things, indicating that they have chosen to cooperate with each other in the competition, but they are fighting separately. Only the two Hogwarts players wore a leather belt, and in addition to a small leather bag, there was a row of test tubes containing various potions. In addition to this, both men have a dagger strapped to their thighs.

Bagman next to him smiled and said: "The competition will start in half an hour, so let's talk about the specific content of this competition first, that is, rescue the hostages and collect the gold medals - each of the golden eggs in the first game has been made into four gold medals, you need to go to the black lake to get your own gold medal, and then combine the gold medal with the crystal in your hand." This way, the gold medal will reveal the location of the other three gold medals made from the same golden egg and the exit, one of which is with your hostages. Contestants need to arrive at the exit at the same time with the hostages to end the race. ”

After saying this long list in one breath, Bagman wiped the sweat from his head, and Crouch looked at him with some dissatisfaction and said, "There are some details that need to be added. First, everyone in the Black Lake can only take their own gold medal, and they are not allowed to touch other people's. Second, half an hour after entering the Forbidden Forest, the gold medal in your hand will show the position of all the gold medals, but not the gold medal position in the lake. At the same time, the gold medal that is taken away will also disappear from the display. Third, the Forbidden Forest allows competitors to obtain other people's gold medals, including finding and snatching. In the end, two hours after the first contestant entered the Forbidden Forest, the score of all the contestants who did not reach the exit with the hostages was directly zero, do you understand now?"

"And what if I arrive at the exit with only the hostages?" asked Diane, another Beauxbatons player.

"Then it's a pity that you will only have one hostage's base score, and each hostage's base score is only equivalent to one gold medal score. Keep in mind that as long as the game comes out within the allotted time, it will not earn you extra points. ”

"Can I attack the hostages?" Krum asked in a deep voice.

"This is absolutely not allowed, whether attacking a hostage or a hostage attacking someone else will reset the score of the attacker and the attacker's counterpart to zero. You and the hostages will have surveillance magic on you, don't try to make small moves. ”

After seeing that no one had asked any other questions, the two Ministry of Magic officials left, and all the contestants sat there in a solemn atmosphere until the bell rang half an hour later.

The contestants heard the bell and the fish passed through the gate of the tent, and then walked down the lawn of the path on the edge of the Forbidden Forest towards the Black Lake, where Ryan saw that the seats during the fire dragon competition last November were now lined up on the other side of the lake, and the reflection was reflected in the lake below.

It was the coldest morning of winter, and the trees were covered in frost as if they were oozing frost. The sky was blue, like a shining mirror, and the sunlight passed through it, bright and cold, shining on the cold surface of the lake, and it did not have the slightest effect on warmth.

The referees sat at another table covered with a golden tablecloth at the water's edge. The contestants walked straight in that direction.

Dumbledore smiled and winked at Ryan and Harry, and Crouch sat apathetically behind the long table, not even looking at them.

Madame Maxim smiled softly, as if nothing could spoil her good mood, while Karkaroff only gathered around his precious pupil Krum to ask for warmth.

Ludo Bagman's voice suddenly resounded on the lakeside: "This competition is a large-scale event with land and water linkage. The Warriors are ready. As soon as I whistled, the second project began, and they were going to get their hostages back in the game. I counted to three. One...... Two...... Three!"

A shrill whistle echoed through the cold, still air. The stands erupted in cheers and applause, and the game officially began.
