Chapter 16: The Draw of Lots for the First Challenge
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, he stared at Draco and asked, "What do you seem to know?"
Daphne looked at Draco with obvious pleading in her eyes.
Draco didn't look at Daphne, but said to himself, "The curse of the Grimm family, almost all the ancient pure-blood families know about it. If he's going to investigate, he'll know sooner or later - can you hide it?"
(This curse does exist, there is information on Baidu, Astoria Greengrass died early because of the curse, at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve)
"I'm an old pure-blood, too," Harry said with a sigh of relief, "I don't know!"
Draco said angrily, "Because you're the scum of the pure-blood family, you don't know anything!"
Harry shrunk his neck, not daring to be presumptuous.
Ron suddenly said, "I remember, my mother once told me about it, and she said that Daphne was a poor child, and I asked her! Oh! Daphne, I'm sorry......."
He glanced at Daphne, only to see that Daphne looked calm, as if she were talking about someone else.
"Curses?" Hermione said, frowning, "What kind of curse is it? There are so many curses in this world, and the effects are different......"
At this point, Hermione suddenly fell silent, and it would be unlucky to continue—everyone knew what they meant if they didn't say it.
Pansy looked at Zhang Hao, her eyes were not good, and she reproached: "Aren't you going to say something?" The curse of the Green family usually doesn't break out very early, and this matter may be inseparable from you. ”
"Ahem, don't worry about me. Daphne coughed twice and said calmly: "Our family's curse is not so serious, and many ancestors who triggered the curse have lived their lives peacefully. ”
She looked indifferent, as if the curse was tickling her, and it didn't hurt her at all.
But the more she is like this, the more distressing it seems.
Zhang Hao never spoke, which made everyone very dissatisfied.
Even if you are in the shoes of a friend, you should say something, right?
But until the meeting ended, he did not express an opinion on the curse of the Grimm family.
In the end, everyone only thought that he had a plan in his heart and gave up asking questions.
Zhang Hao did have some confidence in his heart to solve the curse of the Green family, but he was only a little sure, if he couldn't do it after saying it now, wouldn't it disappoint Daphne even more?
Sometimes it's even more desperate to go from hope to disappointment!
Zhang Hao thought to himself: "Maybe the bloodline transformation technique should also be put on the agenda...... Why is it that the more powerful you feel, the busier you are?"
......
Finally, the first event of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin.
Harry had gotten his way through the dragon from the others, and although he still seemed a little apprehensive, at least he was no longer confused.
The same is true for the other contestants, ordinary wizards can't be indifferent when facing the fire dragon.
A single spell can't hurt a wizard, not even a requisite charm, and everyone knows that.
Perhaps an outstanding wizard can, but most of the warriors here can only be called excellent among their peers, and they are still 108,000 miles away from being outstanding!
Because there are nine warriors, the duration of the challenge will be very long, and there will be no classes for the whole day.
This is also good news for most people.
Then, the group is heading to the pre-set field, where they are going to wait for the warriors and the challenge to appear.
The corridors of Hogwarts are as noisy as the city, and the students are speculating about the warriors' methods.
"I heard that the first challenge was the fire dragon, do you know it's true?"
"Hey, did you know? It's almost an open secret, it's hard to imagine being the enemy of a fiery dragon - I'm glad I didn't make the cut!"
"Yes, I knew I was going to challenge the dragon, and I would never dare to throw my name into the Goblet of Fire. ”
"Look! I can't say I'm going to die today, it's going to be a terrible scene. ”
......
What was the reaction of the people in the castle, Zhang Hao didn't have time to pay attention.
Professor McGonagall leads him and eight other warriors to a tent where they will draw lots to determine the type of dragon to challenge.
"All right! everyone is here—it's time to give you a briefing!" said Mr. Bagman, gleefully, "I will now hand you this bag in turn, and you will pick out from it a small model of the thing you are going to face." There are different types of them, and if you're unlucky, it can be a little more difficult. Oh yes,...... Your mission is to pick up golden eggs. ”
Many people's faces turned green, and if they really picked a difficult fire dragon, maybe their previous plan would not work!
What does that mean...... It's really conceivable!
Zhang Hao's face was still calm, no matter what kind of dragon it was, he had only one way to deal with it, because he didn't make any preparations at all - he could only improvise!
While everyone was nervous, there were some footsteps outside.
Zhang Hao guessed that these voices probably belonged to the onlookers, and they were very relaxed because they didn't need to deal with the fire dragon.
Bagman untied a purple silk bag and said to the group, "Come on, gather around, it's time for you to draw a lot...... I think women should come first. ”
He handed the bag to Fleur Delacour and said encouragingly, "Come on! ”
Fleur was a little frightened, and she reached into the bag with a trembling hand and pulled out a small, lifelike model of the dragon.
The model was magical, and it was simply a shrunken fire dragon.
Fleur drew a Welsh green dragon with a number plate tied around its neck with the number '2'.
The others were also drawn in turn, and Zhang Hao was ranked last.
He drew an African black dragon, a fire dragon with very perverted magic resistance.
Seeing this result, almost all of them showed sympathy.
While it is possible for other fire dragons to be defeated with spells, the African black dragon is absolutely impossible.
To control the black dragon, the dragon trainer needs to use a lot of spells, and three or five dragon trainers are too busy, at least twenty.
In short, Zhang Hao obviously encountered hellish difficulty.
Of course, the sympathy of the others only lasted for a moment, because the fire dragon they drew might not be as good as the African black dragon, but it was still very difficult to deal with.
For example, the Arctic Ice Dragon drawn by Sophie Marceau is a dragon species that is difficult to even get close to, and if the Arctic Ice Dragon fights with the African Black Dragon, it is difficult to say who will lose and who will win!
"Alright, everyone's drawn their own opponents, so let's get ready!" Bagman patted Harry on the shoulder and said to everyone, "It's almost time, I think I'm going to have to run out!"
After a while, someone outside called for player number one to play.
The hapless Cedric had to get out of the tent first, and everyone could see that his face seemed to turn green!
Sophie Marceau said worriedly: "I wonder if my face will turn green when I go out...... That must be ugly!"
