Chapter 266: Registration
"Every student who wants to run for a Warrior must write his name and the name of his school on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet," said Dumbledore, "and those who want to become a Warrior can sign up within twenty-four hours." Tomorrow night, the night of Halloween, Goblet will choose the names of the three students it thinks best represent the three schools. Tonight, the goblet will be placed in the foyer and will be accessible to all students who are willing to participate in the campaign. ”
Dumbledore's voice was still floating above, but Ryan didn't have the heart to listen to it for the time being, he was reverberating in his mind at this time with all the plans he had prepared to pass through the age circle.
"Lest the younger students fall short of temptation," said Dumbledore, "I'm going to draw an age line around the goblet when it's in the foyer." No one under the age of 17 can cross this line. ”
"Finally, I would like to remind everyone who is going to participate in the election to pay attention to the fact that this competition is not a child's play, and you must not participate in it recklessly. Once the Warrior is selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must hold the game to the end. Whoever throws his name into the cup actually forms a magical contract that must be observed. Once you become a warrior, you are not allowed to change your mind. So, think twice and find out that you really want to participate in the competition before throwing your name into the cup. Okay, I think it's time for everyone to go to bed. Good night to all. ”
While Ryan waited anxiously, Dumbledore finally finished his speech - meaning that the people in the Great Hall could finally leave their places and move freely. By this time, Dumbledore had already drawn the golden age circle with his wand, and Ryan took the opportunity to get together with a group of classmates to observe the thing.
"Sure enough, it's an alchemical technique. After observing with the Magic Eagle Eye, Ryan confirmed that although he didn't know exactly how the age circle worked, as long as he knew the direction, he would be ready to deal with it.
Of course, Professor Dumbledore's use of alchemy on the age circle was also expected by him, after all, it was absolutely impossible for a person who could discover the twelve uses of dragon blood and had a very good relationship with Nicolame to say that he knew nothing about alchemy.
"Have you figured out a way to get through the age circle?" asked Ryan in a whisper as Hermione whispered on her way back to Gryffindor Tower.
"I came up with a solution. Ryan replied in the same whisper. "But whether it succeeds or not depends on the results of tomorrow's experiment, but even if it doesn't work, it won't kill anyone, it's much safer than being chased by a large group of mummies. ”
Upon returning to the common room, Ryan discovers that the Weasley twins are peddling their age-enhancing potions.
"Hey, Ryan, would you like to come some?" Fred shouted to Ryan when he saw Ryan.
"No, I have another way. After saying that, Ryan smiled mysteriously, and then went straight back to the dormitory.
"It's really God's chatter, can't you just say it? George muttered and started selling their ageing potion again.
A little tired, that's how Ryan felt when he woke up the next morning. Because in the evening, Ryan ran to the Wanjie Grocery Store and Rose Crystal to be busy for more than an hour after everyone was asleep to get the preparations done, Dumbledore's alchemy level is indeed very high, and in order to deal with the age line, Ryan spent a lot of effort to make the current product that he is satisfied with.
Yawning as Ryan slowly walked towards the auditorium, deciding to finish breakfast before getting busy with the registration.
When he entered the foyer, he saw more than twenty people gathered there, and only a few people were left at the table who were gobbling up—it was clear that they wanted to finish their meals and go onlookers.
Everyone was scrutinizing the Goblet of Fire. The cup was placed in the center of the foyer, on the same stool where the Sorting Hat was customary. A thin gold line was drawn on the floor, ten feet long on each side, and the cup was enclosed in the middle.
Ten feet is equivalent to three meters, and Ryan thinks that distance should be easy for a normal person to throw a paper ball into a cup. But the strange thing is that although the people around him were eager to try, no one did it.
Ryan curiously asked the onlookers this question, and Hannah Abbott smiled and said, "Just now Justin tried this, and then his paper ball bounced back on his head as it was, turning his hair pink." Colin from your academy tried to use a stick to throw a ball of paper into the Goblet of Fire, but the stick and his entire arm turned green. The worst of all was a Slytherin, who wanted his seniors to help him bring him. As a result, his paper ball burned to ashes as soon as it crossed the age line, and he burned a large hole in the pants pocket of the senior classman—"
After listening to the previous series of pioneer failures, Ryan reaffirmed that some fandoms in his previous life were in the trap. As Europe's greatest white wizard and an experienced centenarian, his age circle would be too much to look down on Dumbledore if he could break through it with simple Muggle tricks.
However, Ryan decided to eat first, and when he was about to finish eating, he saw the famous scene: the Weasley twins tried to break through the age circle after drinking the age enhancer, only to be ejected, not to mention growing a long white beard.
"Hey, I told you a long time ago that the age-booster is useless. Ryan shouted to the twins happily after seeing this. When the twins heard this, they immediately walked over to Ryan.
"Didn't you say you had a way? The two of them stood beside Ryan on the left and right, and then laughed and motioned for Ryan to go up as well, as if they thought they were going to be unlucky, and everyone would have to be unlucky together. Dumbledore had finished eating at this time and was about to walk out of the Great Hall, when he saw Ryan and the three of them, not only did he not stop them, but he also stroked his beard and watched with interest.
"Alright, then I'm here. Ryan swallowed the last sip of milk in the bowl, and then walked up to the age circle with his head held high, escorted by the twins. At this time, many people around the excitement also came over, even including Durmstrang students who had just finished casting their names. After all, Ryan is relatively well-known in the school as the winner of the top three in the grade plus the second-class Merlin Medal, and many people are interested in seeing what Ryan will do.
Ryan took out a beautiful crystal ball made of amethyst from the space bag on his waist under the watchful eyes of a group of people, and the twins joked when they saw it: "Do you want to open the Heavenly Eye to divinate now?"
"Of course not, you watched carefully. Ryan finished placing the amethyst ball on the golden age line, then drew his wand and drew runes in the void.
Silver runes slowly floated out of the head of the wand and submerged into the amethyst ball, and when the runes spread all over the surface of the crystal ball, Ryan stopped drawing the runes, and then tapped the crystal ball lightly with his wand.
In an instant, the crystal ball glowed with a lilac light, and then quickly rolled along the age line. When the crystal ball returned to its original point, the runes on it were completely gone.
"Look, the light on the age circle has changed. A sharp-eyed Ravenclaw senior girl called, and sure enough, the golden light on the age circle was now mixed with a faint purple light.
At this time, Ryan crossed the age circle, and everyone looked at him. But instead of being ejected as most people expected, he walked out with his note thrown in as normal.
"Boom-" There was a commotion around them, even mixed with applause and whistles. The clearest of these was the Weasley twins' cheers, "It's done, oh my God!" Ryan threw his name into the Goblet of Fire. ”
