Chapter Ninety-Two: Commentary (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
The head Dumbledore was still talking in Barabala, Egg looked around, and saw a stand from a distance, Hermione and Aisha were waving to him, on the side were the Weasleys and Sirius, and the stand opposite a group of people was the Slytherin stand, compared to the Gryffindor stand with a hot atmosphere, the people in the Slytherin stand were much more reserved, but because many parents' children would show up in this exam, they were not reserved, and many parents were eager.
"Next, Mr. Weasley and Mr. Finigan will explain this exam!"
As Dumbledore's words fell, the atmosphere in the stands around became more and more hot, and people were a little impatient, wanting to see the basilisk in style, a roar sounded, and the crowd was in an uproar.
The iron cage in the center of the field rumbled, as if some monster was struggling inside.
"Radisson and Jett... Welkon Wood Convex Hogwarts... I'm Ron Weasley! ”
Ager almost laughed as soon as Ron's voice rang out, did the wizards' commentaries also use this opening line? And is Ron a little loud when he calls his name?
Iger could see the Weasleys looking proudly at Dumbledore's stands, Dumbledore looked a little dazed, and Harry and Hermione in the distant stands almost fainted with laughter, leaning on the railing of the stands and laughing straight up.
There was a commotion in the arena, accompanied by bursts of laughter, Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore's stands in the distance and narrowed her eyes, her lips pursed, and she seemed to have a hint of remorse for her choice...
"Hello everyone, I'm Seamus Finigan, we are the commentators of this exam, have you seen the iron cage in the middle of the field? That's what the students will be doing in this exam – the basilisk! From a vault that was sealed a thousand years ago. ”
Fortunately, although Seamus is not good at magic, his mouth is indeed more reliable than Ron's.
"Yes, Basilisk! It is said that this was left by Slytherin before he left Hogwarts, and Mr. Slytherin's portrait says that there were two basilisks, but one of them was made into snake soup by the Hufflepuff lady and entered Mr. Gryffindor's stomach..."
Oh my God, did they go to the rector's office last night to ask for the portrait of Salazar in person?
Is it really good to say it in this situation? I'd rather you say that it was left to slaughter students than you say that, it's too bad...
And Slytherin, is it really good for you to tell them so bluntly?
Iger was blindsided, and he didn't know what to do for a moment as he watched Ron talk proudly.
How will this exam be conducted?
Seamus's expression looked a little stiff, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, and immediately grabbed the microphone to intercept the conversation: "Of course, it was just a young snake, and it was facing the legendary great wizard, and what our seniors are facing today will be a giant monster that has been dormant for thousands of years!" Here is the first house we have to take this exam, the Hufflepuff House with a reputation for benevolence and harmony! ”
In the distance, the entrance gate opened, and the Hufflepuff badgers rushed out, and the whole stadium suddenly resounded with a huge cheer.
"If there is one of the four houses that has the most students, it must be Hufflepuff House, the admission method that does not refuse to come has kept them at the top of the four houses, and the mild environment in the house makes most of the Hufflepuff students more kind, and among the wizards who have graduated in history, the number of dark wizards from Hufflepuff is the least." Seamus was very detailed, which made Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore slightly relieved, but there was nothing out of the ordinary in this introduction.
"I've heard people say that Hufflepuff students are stupid!" Ron's voice rang out again, Professor McGonagall's face instantly stiffened, and she almost cried, and the Weasleys in the stands also looked at their son in shock.
Many of the audience in the audience looked at Ron's eyes and gradually began to become unkind, but fortunately, Ron simply sold it, and then continued: "Until I asked Mr. Morissus what he thinks, he said that people who think like this are stupid, and people are called wise and foolish, and they are wise without fighting with the world!" ”
Thank goodness Ron, you're kind of a human being...
Iger breathed a sigh of relief that he had finally not been caught...
There was a lot of applause from the audience, and it seemed that the audience agreed with Ron's words.
Iger felt like he was on a roller coaster ride listening to Ron's explanation, and his heart went up and down.
The little badgers who entered the hall waved to the parents in the stands from time to time, and Seamus looked at Egg in the field to take over the topic: "Next, I would like to invite our Defence Against the Dark Arts acting professor, Mr. Morriss, to introduce our seniors to the little friends they are about to face!" ”
Egg calmly bowed slightly to the curious eyes in the stands around him, and then looked at the Hufflepuff badgers in front of him: "Are you ready?" ”
"Ready!" The little badgers' voices were full of anger, and of course, if I didn't look at their faces, Iger might have believed it...
With a shake of the wand in Egger's hand, the black curtain shrouded in the iron cage suddenly floated up, slowly disappearing into the air, and the sound of gasping cold air came from the field, and the surprised eyes in the audience looked at the iron cage.
The boos that Iger had expected did not appear, but rather one exclamation after another.
Egger felt a little dazed, obviously only more than thirty meters long, why did he still look shocked one by one?
Of course, what he didn't know was that even the fire dragon's body was only ten meters long, and the basilisk was not as dangerous as the fire dragon, even if the basilisk had no eyes, the scale armor and snake skin were not at all less resistant to magic spells than the fire dragon.
In the iron cage, the basilisk's green scale armor reflected the sunlight, and the green dazzle in the sunlight, Egger picked up the wand in his hand, the door of the iron cage opened, and the basilisk's nose full of barbed scales sniffed slightly, feeling the changes in the air circulation around him, and then struggled violently.
"It's time to start, get ready." Egg's wand waved violently, and the dense iron ropes on the basilisk suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the body dozens of meters long fell to the ground, and then the body was entrenched in a strange range, and the snake's head was raised high, sniffing the smell of the air and slowly crawling out of the iron door.
Seeing the basilisk crawl out, a group of little badgers quickly divided into two rows, most of the sixth and seventh grade students in the front row were some sixth and seventh grade students, and the fourth and fifth grade students slowly took a step back and raised the wand in their hands, and the white rays slowly shrouded the front of the senior students, forming a silver-white shield of light.
The Hufflepuff badgers chose a simple formation, with the junior students defending and the older students attacking, dividing the work between the two to defend against the basilisk.
"The criterion for this exam is that a student who resists a basilisk for a quarter of an hour can be counted as a perfect score, and on average there will be about one hundred and forty students in each house." Seamus gushed into the microphone: "As a 5X magical beast recorded by the Ministry of Magic, according to the domestication regulations, each 5X-level creature needs thirty wizards who have reached the Auror standard to control, which will be a very harsh and difficult challenge for our seniors!" ”
While speaking, the basilisk had slowly come out of the iron cage, Egg casually gathered his own breath, and stood quietly next to the formation of the students, not far away there was a small notebook floating next to the four deans, and a shorthand quill on the small book was eager to record something.
Professor Sprout's expression looked a little worried, as a respected herbalist, she was not as brainless as Egger, and she dared to be reckless with any monster...
The snake's reflexes are high, at least compared to the dragons, the two are not on the same level, and although the basilisk has no eyes to stare at anyone who dies, the sharp fangs combined with the highly sensitive reflexes will undoubtedly be a nightmare for the students.
"It seems that this basilisk is a bit wilted, according to Mr. Morissus, he has squeezed a lot of venom several times after subduing this basilisk, maybe it has something to do with this?" Ron teased as he looked at the basilisk in the arena.
As soon as the words fell, a scream sounded, and the basilisk, which had seemed to be quiet and wilted, suddenly straightened its body and swooped towards the little badgers in the distance, and some of the girls in the phalanx were already screaming.
"Listen to this pleasant scream, oh... I don't know if they can resist this invasion..."Seamo's breathing was slightly rapid, and his eyes stared at the basilisk in the field: "What did I see?" In the face of a lineup of basilisks of dozens of feet and still inseparable from each other, it seems that Hufflepuff is loyal and reliable. ”
The badgers did not actively wait for the basilisk to attack, and a group of sixth and seventh grade students pulled out their wands and aimed them at the head of the basilisk, and launched a silent curse towards the basilisk's head.
Egg couldn't help but sigh a little as he watched the red-white light fall lightly on the basilisk's head.
The strength of a person's magic can be seen by looking at his spell, and ordinary wizards are simply a white point of light flying by.
But Egger's spell was released like an endless pillar of light, like Lux's ultimate, like a laser gun...
Iger is not the only one who has this effect, Dumbledore's spell is also like this, and then there is Professor McGonagall, Professor McGonagall's spell is very persistent and has a high level of control, and it can also achieve that effect.
Looking at the wand with a somewhat scorched tip of the wand in his hand, Egg frowned slightly, he could feel the dependence and reluctance of the wand in his hand, but his increasingly violent magic power made this wand a little unbearable.
With a 'bell', the sound from the field immediately attracted Egg's attention, and the head of the basilisk slammed into the shield in front of the students, and the white shield light rippled in all directions, and the flames in the wands of a group of seventh-graders suddenly spread out, sweeping towards the basilisk.
The basilisk is afraid of fire, but it's just a matter of nature, and in fact the flames are not very threatening to the basilisk, and Egg thinks this should be of little practical use.
Sure enough, the basilisk's thick tail swept violently around, and the flames spreading in the field were immediately extinguished, and the huge snake head spat out the snake hyacinth, and the hissing sound clearly reached the ears of the little badgers, and what Iger heard was: I want to tear you apart...
“Wow… Looks like the big guy is..."Ron teased, "What are the Hufflepuff seniors going to do?" Forced defense? Maybe the basilisk will like their taste! ”
"Not necessarily, look, Cedric's determined little eyes, wait, he protects the girls behind him... Oh baby—" Seamus laughed.
However, the ridicule of the two did not make the audience's mood relaxed, and some parents of children in it couldn't help but stand up anxiously, looking at the situation in the stadium with worried eyes.
Iger looked at the still stable formation in the field and nodded slightly, it seemed that the Hufflepuff students were not too flustered about this situation.
In fact, what Iger didn't know was that the students who were constantly being slammed by his dementors had begun to develop a habit of immunity to fear.
Basically, a large part of them can make the Dementors stick to their faces without messing up, at most their faces are a little pale.
In the field, the basilisk raised its head high, sniffing and sniffing, as if looking for a way to eat the guys in front of it, and its sharp fangs were nailed to the white light mask in front of it one by one.
The faces of the sixth and seventh grade students were very gloomy, their attacks did not have any obvious impact on the snake melon, and they had no choice but to devote themselves to passive defense, and a group of people hurriedly reinforced the shield in front of them, hoping to block the attack of the big guy in front of them.
The basilisk's attack was swift, and the badgers' defenses were steady, but they still couldn't stop the basilisk for long, and soon the hood in front of the badgers was torn open.
Professor Sprout looked at his students with some concern, and Iger looked at the pocket watch in his hand, nearly ten minutes had passed.
The basilisk reacted quickly, and as soon as he sensed the appearance of a gap, he immediately stretched out his head and poked in, opening his mouth wide towards the students.
Egger raised his wand and was already preparing to catch the basilisk back, but it seemed that a group of badgers had not given up, and a girl who didn't know what to take out of her arms threw a black thing into the basilisk's mouth.
"Die!" The girl's crisp voice sounded a little angry.
Egger heard a pop, and the basilisk squirted viscous liquid into its nose and roared, and a group of badgers hurriedly took advantage of the time to reinforce the shield, and the sixth and seventh graders stepped forward to reinforce the shield again.
There is no way, if you want to attack, you have to give up maintaining defense, otherwise the fourth and fifth graders alone will not be able to resist the attack of the basilisk.
Even Egg couldn't do that, and even if he had a continuous Iron Armor Charm, Egg wouldn't dare to be slapped by the basilisk's thick tail...
Of course, Iger has a more advanced defense method, but it doesn't need to.
It's over!
