58. Champion Rewards
"Harry, tell me about the last time you met that three-headed dog." Mygoss, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke.
"You're not interested, are you?" Ron was stunned when he heard this, and looked at him on his stomach.
"I'm suddenly interested. Let's talk about it. ”
"As I told you last time, we accidentally entered the forbidden place that the headmaster said in order to avoid Filch. Encounter a large dog. The dog was big enough to fill all the space from the ceiling to the floor, and it had three heads, three pairs of dripping and turning vicious eyes, and three noses. It was twitching and trembling in our direction, and there were three drooling mouths that hung from the yellowed dog's teeth like slimy rope. Truth be told, if it hadn't been for our sudden intrusion and making it flutter, it would have eaten us. Harry's tone trembled a little, and even after all these days, he felt creepy at the thought of it.
"Do you have anything else to find besides the dog?"
"We were all scared stupid at the time, how could we pay attention to anything else." The voice came from Ron's bedside.
"But Hermione seemed to say there seemed to be a door at the monster's feet, and she guessed that the three-headed dog was supposed to be the gatekeeper." Harry's words made him sigh, it seemed that what was happening now was no different from what was in the original books, and that would be easy.
In the early hours of the next morning, McGoth got up early, and he picked up the thorn in the small cage and looked at it. The little thing didn't know if it was because he hadn't slept all night or if it was too vigilant, but when he looked at it, it was glaring at him.
"Sample, you still dare to be arrogant with me at this time, be careful that I cook you one day." McGoss's threat was like playing a harp to a cow, and the thorny man's temper was not alleviated.
"Count you ruthless." He put down the cage in a huff.
"Magos, what the hell are you going to do with him here?" Awakened, Harry couldn't understand that he had brought the Thorn back.
"I just wanted to do an experiment." He looked mysteriously at Ron, who was still asleep.
Harry shivered at his gaze, and the confusion he had just woken up in was gone without a trace, and for some reason, he always felt that his gaze was full of malice.
"Ron, why did you wake up today?" On the way to the restaurant, McGoth said to Ron, a little disappointed.
Ron looked at him suspiciously, "Isn't that bad, and seriously, since the last time I slept with a swollen face, I was really easily woken up in the morning, and I don't know why." ”
Harry turned his head to look at Magos, the corners of his mouth twitching, he wanted to laugh, but he held back. It was a wonderful feeling, an experience that had never been more enjoyable than it had ever been, and he felt that he had been happier at school for more than a decade or so at the Dursleys.
"By the way, McGoss, are we going to meet tonight?" Ron walked over to him and asked softly.
"Of course, we're almost there. During this time, we will go there whenever we have time. ”
"Can we hold the first competition at the end of this semester, many students are gearing up to win the first place."
"It should be possible, but we can't talk too much, everyone knows the progress now, although it seems to be very smooth, but once the owner is stuck in which link, there will be big problems." Harry and Ron nodded understandingly.
"Then it suddenly occurred to me that we seemed to have forgotten something very important." McGoth touched his head with a wry smile.
"What's the matter?"
"When it comes to rewards, we've been thinking about making cards and tournament rules, but none of us have custom rewards." His words made him stunned, as if it was really oh.
"Well, isn't the competition just a school game you said, and it shouldn't need any rewards." Harry said in an uncertain tone.
"That's true, but if we want to pass on this game forever, rewards are indispensable, otherwise everyone will give up after playing for a few years and find it boring."
"So what to do, we've invested so much." Ron was in a hurry.
"Let's get together in the evening and have a good discussion, anyway, I don't think Galleon's words will be appealing." McGoss's words caused the two of them to bow their heads in distress and ponder.
At night, in the secret room.
After nearly a month of experimentation since the dragon scales arrived, they have completely determined how to make magic cards. Now the dividends are clear, and in addition to McGoss, the first and second graders make some softeners when they have time, which is in great demand and takes a long time to make. The reason why they are asked to do this is also because they don't have a lot of magic and don't know a lot of spells, so they can only do this kind of basic work. The two of them would make it in the dorm room whenever they had free time, and McGoth would work with them in addition to recording some of the latest ideas for magic cards and things that needed to be changed, and sometimes he would also mobilize the rest of his classmates to do so, Hermione also helped them make several bottles at first, but then Harry said that it was for playing cards, and she stopped helping them, for which Harry was annoyed for days.
The third and fourth grades are more embarrassing, their magic and spell mastery level is not strong, and they are not weak, if there are no more senior seniors to join, they will be the main force of production, but unfortunately there are senior seniors, so they will be reduced to senior coolies. The work they need to do is to cut dragon scales, which sounds simple, but it is much more complicated to do, in addition to the necessary tools, they also need some household magic spells, for which they have also specially learned some daily magic charms that they previously disdained. There are several difficulties in cutting dragon scales, one is that each card must be exactly the same size and the same position, which alone has made them a little bitter at the corners of their mouths, and then the dragon scales themselves are magical, and they need to break them down without destroying the magic of the dragon scales themselves, which requires very precise magic control, so when they finish it, you will find that they are a little fluttering when they walk, as if they were blocked in the room by twenty or thirty deep resentful women and did something unsightly. Finally, the toughness of dragon scales is very good, and they need to be cut without destroying their toughness, so they need both magic and physical strength.
The fifth and sixth graders are responsible for adding spells and special magic materials to the cut magic cards, such as Kang's new suggestion to add seven Kemeramon tooth particles to the front of each magic card, these particles will brighten after the holder wins a round, and when all seven are bright, he will be eligible to participate in the King of Cards tournament, Kemeramon is a rare Greek beast with the head of a lion, the body of a sheep and the tail of a fire dragon. This giant beast is evil, bloodthirsty, and extremely dangerous, so his value is very high, even some tooth particles cost nearly 400 Galleons, but his quality is nothing to say. Adding enchantments is a seemingly simple step but it's actually the hardest, and sometimes even they have problems, and the seventh grade seniors occasionally come in to help. Even so, they kept getting into trouble, either the spell could not be engraved on the magic card, or the conflict between the spell and the spell failed, and the most irritating thing was that the spell was engraved on the result but there was no response. All sorts of problems are emerging. Finally, there is also the constant suggestion of McGoss, which often happens to add some kind of spell out of nowhere. Although there were many obstacles, fortunately, everyone did not give up. The choice of magic materials is also a big problem, not to say that expensive is necessarily good, take that star as an example, they were not going to use the teeth of Kemera Beast at first, but wanted to use the tip of the phoenix's feathers, but after the experiment, there was a magic repulsion before switching to Kemera Beast, but the value seems to be not much different.
It's worth mentioning that the twins made a card box from the reverse scales given by the boss, but they haven't been able to cast a spell on them yet. This can only be added when the magic card is fully crafted.
"Guys, let's stop for now, I have a very important matter to discuss with you." McGoth interrupted the busy audience.
Everyone slowly put down what they were doing and sat down at the table, and McGoth repeated to them what he had said to Harry Ron in the morning, and everyone had a look of annoyance on their faces when they heard it.
"I have an idea, but I can't solve it completely."
"Tell me about it." Fred spoke.
"We can think of that shoeal as a prize for the champion, and when someone becomes the champion, they will be able to hold the stake for a semester. The week before the next Final kicks off, it will automatically return to Hogwarts, regardless of whether the previous champion wants it or not. However, we have a big problem, we need to make it a powerful magic item, so that it can not only resist spells such as the Flying Charm, but also resist more powerful spells, and even set it up as a portkey to teleport the owner to a set coordinate in case of mortal danger. After he finished speaking, the whole chamber fell silent.
"Well, McGoss, your idea is great, but it's too low, and we shouldn't be able to do what you want." Kang looked at him with a wry smile and said. The others nodded in unison.
"If. I mean, what if, if Professors Flitwick and Snape were willing to help us. All the members of the chamber looked at him dumbfounded.
"It's possible, but do you think the professor will do it for us?" Hal was skeptical.
"Anyway, I'm going to try it, and I'll go to the professor to see if it works when we've made all the magic cards." When everyone nodded, he continued: "Then now when we can succeed, the reward for the champion is set, and there must be some consolation prizes for other terms, if everyone has any suggestions, Jin Gallon doesn't need to mention it, if there is really no good idea, use money." ”
