Chapter 51: The Second Project (I)

Harry and Ron's dance partner problem hadn't been resolved, but the second project had arrived as scheduled.

What a magician is at building infrastructure!

Looking at the towering buildings that had risen from the ground in just one night on the originally empty hunting ground, Daphany sighed heartily.

On the hunting ground, a building full of oriental flavor - pagoda! That's right, it's the kind of Tibetan scriptures and relics of the ashes of high monks that are common in Middle-earth Buddhism, and the pagoda with seven edges and eight corners on all sides!

The East Asian magician system, led by China, has always been incompatible with the Western magic system, and I wonder if this is a tentative exchange and cooperation. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that just because the head of the magician in charge of the infrastructure this time is a lover of Buddhism or Oriental culture.

On the 17th of December, it was another fine day, and Daphany suspected that the magician had intervened. Otherwise, it is a rare thing to have such good weather in the UK.

Bagman and Crouch reappeared, standing in front of the four-story but thirty-meter-high pagoda. Eleven mighty men stood before them. There are no spectators around because the project is closed. There are only two kinds of results: completed and incomplete, and the only thing that will affect the results is time, so there is no such thing as on-site observation and scoring. This made many students and wizards from afar who came from afar to watch the game very dissatisfied.

"After more than half a month, you must have already mastered the information about the second project, right?" Mr. Bagman, who always looked energetic and very happy, asked with a laugh.

Daphany peeked in. On the Hogwarts side, Harry and Angelina were visibly nervous, but they both looked quite confident. After all, he has cracked the secret of the little golden egg for a long time, and is already very familiar with the puppet assembly - at least the kind of familiar one obtained from the golden egg.

On Beauxbatons' side, the faces of the two big beauties were not good-looking. I don't know if it's because I couldn't solve the mystery of the golden egg, or if it's stuck on the puppet.

On Durmstrang's side, Cumming Ray seemed very calm, and he thought he had some confidence. Karkaroff is cunning and cunning, so it's not surprising that he can figure out how to open the golden egg. Krum was a little special, glaring at Jacob viciously.

On Ilvermorny's side, Jacob was glaring at Krum with the same viciousness. Obviously, the two are still fighting for what they agreed on before!

Meng Yuchen's face was not very good. Although Dafanie knew that Meng Yuchen and the others were not as early as others, they also opened the golden egg at a time that was not too late. However, it seems that the two professors who accompanied him were not able to master the skills of Runiwen and the puppet at the same time. This is normal, and it is just like Niven, and the current magicians are more or less dabbled in it because of the spells. But the puppet is too out of the ordinary.

However, in comparison, the two of Nagu de Inafer College are indeed the most embarrassing. Well...... The two of them were still holding the golden egg in their hands, and it looked as if it had never been opened. Half a month has passed, and these two have not even been able to open the golden egg, which is also embarrassing.

Bagman obviously also noticed Horton and Shen Yalan, who had not opened the golden egg, and his expression was also a little embarrassed. But apparently he decided to skip the topic quietly: "The second project, our theme is wisdom. No wands or other magic items are allowed during the process! Use your wisdom to complete the second project. If you are guided by the clues given after the first item, you will have a great advantage. Otherwise, you'll have to figure it out for yourself. The last sentence was apparently addressed to the two warriors of Nagud Inafer, whose already unsightly faces became even more unsightly.

Mr. Crouch didn't care about Horton and Shen Yalan's faces, and pointed to the tower behind him: "This is the venue for our second game, and the warriors will decide which ones to enter according to the points they have earned in their first event." There is a minute between each warrior, for a total of two hours! That is, from the moment the first warrior enters, after two hours, everyone will be brought out of it by magic, regardless of the completion. Of course, if the project is completed ahead of schedule, it will be automatically sent out at the same time as it is completed. ”

Crouch finished speaking, not waiting for the Warriors' reaction. directly took out a piece of parchment and glanced at it: "The first, Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Cumming Ray!" ”

Rayn Ray was the first Warrior to score the most points in the first event, scoring 44 points. So he was the first to enter the pagoda.

Cumin Ray frowned, handed over his wand, and Barty Crouch checked it to make sure there were no magic items on him.

After all this was done, Crouch's wand moved towards the pagoda, and the originally closed vermilion lacquer door slowly opened. Daphany glanced inside. The fog could be seen drifting away in the darkness. There was nothing to see inside, so he pouted and withdrew his gaze.

Crouch and Bagman checked their watches, waited a little bit, and the time came to ten o'clock! Bagman nodded to Cumin Ray and said, "Our first warrior is ready to enter!" ”

Cumin Ray took a deep breath and strode in. He walked to the door and paused, glancing back at the other warriors, not knowing who he was looking at. Then turn around and enter. As soon as he stepped through the gate, he was instantly swallowed up by darkness, and there was not a trace of shadow in sight. Several female warriors couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

Crouch had apparently expected it and did not react much. With a wave of his wand, he conjured up a huge hourglass and poked it into the ground. Apparently the timer has already begun.

As he took out the hourglass, Crouch picked up his pocket watch again, apparently starting to choke the time.

Bagman took the parchment list in his hand: "Second Warrior, Miss Angelina Johnson." ”

Angelina scored 42 points in the first round and was second. Hearing Bagman's shout, the little girl also took a breath, calmed down her slightly excited mood and stepped forward. Hand the wand to Bagman.

Exactly one minute after Ray's entry into the pagoda gate, Crouch motioned for Angelina to enter. Then came Fleur Delacour, Harry Potter, and Victor Krum—who glanced at Jacob smugly before entering. The latter pouted disdainfully. And then there's Audreyna Hilliaux. It was Daphany's turn for the seventh. Quick Eye 123

I thought that when it was my turn, Angelina would have finished the test. It seems that the project is a little more complicated than expected.

Daphine thought.

Having anticipated that she might not be allowed to bring a wand, Daphany did not wear a bracer today. It was convenient to hand over the wand to Bagman. After crouch signaled, he walked through the door of the pagoda.

Originally, Daphne thought that it would be dark when she walked in, but it turned out to be otherwise. One step forward, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Daphany found herself standing on an open plain. There are endless pastures in front of you and on the left and right.

Dreamland? Or is it a spatial shift? Daphany was a little uncertain for a moment.

Subconsciously, Daphine turned around, and there was also an empty space behind her. But something seems to be wrong......

Daphany held out her hand. Sure enough, the once-invisible wall stood in front of the hand. It feels like glass, but it's not as cold as glass, and it's faintly warm on it.

It seems to be a combination of fantasy and enclosed space. Daphany had a preliminary judgment and looked around. I faintly heard the sound of water not far away. Immediately walked in the direction from which the voice came.

A moment later, a large river appeared in front of Daphany.

It's really a big river!

There is no end in sight to the left and right sides of the river, and although the speed of the river is not fast, it is surging. The width is more than a dozen feet! The water is extremely clear, but you still can't see the bottom of the river clearly, and it is clear that the river is not as deep as usual.

Although Daphany can and is quite good at swimming, she is inexplicably afraid of water in this life. And even if you can swim, such a large river is absolutely not suitable.

This should be a test, but where are the parts of the puppet?

According to the previous speculation of Daphany and Harry, this project should use puppets to complete some specific tasks in different environments. But at the moment, Daphany didn't notice where the puppet's parts were. Looks like you'll have to find it yourself......

The organizing committee didn't seem to be particularly embarrassed for the players, and Daphany walked a little up the river before discovering the first part......

What a big part!

Although it was expected that the parts would be much larger than the inside of the golden egg. But this figure is still shocking.

For quite some time, the puppets that Ron had trained to disassemble and assemble again and again, and Daphne, who was ready to vomit, recognized at a glance that this was a part of the hind legs of a dragon puppet.

This part is a meter long, and Daphne can't even hug it so thick! Daphany gave it a try, and the portions matched its weight.

If you can't use magic, how can you bring such a big and heavy thing and find other parts? Even if you find it. How am I going to assemble such a big thing?

Daphany was dumbfounded for a moment. I knew that Angelina, who was in front of them, was so familiar with the puppet assembly why she couldn't get out for a few minutes. It's a question of whether they can put it together in an hour!

But Angelina or Harry, or even the others, might not. But Daphany doesn't matter!

Dafanie concentrated, stretched out her left hand, and pointed her index finger at the part: "Yuga Dim Leviosa!" ”

Yes, the Levitation Charm! Third-year Daphne was already experimenting with wandless spellcasting. A year has passed, and although some difficult magic has not yet been mastered, small magic such as the levitation charm is no longer a problem.

As Daphine's magic worked, the piece floated slowly. Daphany smiled contentedly, turned and walked along the river in one direction, the part floating behind him.

Almost at the same time, Harry, tired and panting like a dog, had walked a long way pushing the two parts when he saw a wooden stake at the water's edge, and a small boat floating next to the stake. Harry's eyes glazed as he looked at the boat.
