It was fast in time for the first day of the Triwizard Tournament.

On this morning, the students and professors throughout Hogwarts Castle seemed a little absent-minded.

Everyone's thoughts were on the game that was about to start in the afternoon.

It's just that the mood of the students is curious and excited, while the mood of the professors is worried.

At lunchtime, the students in the cafeteria were discussing the upcoming competition.

Zhang Qiu had already sat down at the table in the badger courtyard and kept persuading Cedric to eat more.

At the Lion House table, Hermione sat next to Ron, simmering sausages, pan-fried tuna, and boiled potatoes on his plate.

Because he was afraid that Fleur would be too nervous to eat lunch before the competition, Zhang Xu found Dobby yesterday and asked Dobby to prepare her favorite veal, seafood pasta, and Napoleon cake for Fleur at lunch today.

At the table in the Snake Courtyard, Krum sat alone, munching on a chicken sandwich while watching the other three warriors.

Lunchtime was quickly over, and Madame Maxime came over to fetch Fleur.

Zhang Xu, Gabrielle, and Tonya walked towards the arena on the edge of the Forbidden Forest together.

Sitting in the audience, Zhang Xu found the layout here a little interesting.

Instead of enclosing a field like a Quidditch pitch, the auditorium faces the direction of the Forbidden Forest, like an opera house. There is also a wooden stage on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and I don't know when a long pool was built between the stage and the Forbidden Forest.

There were not only students from the three schools in the audience, but also a number of outside wizarding spectators occupying a part of the stands.

This Triwizard Tournament sold a lot of tickets to the society, unlike the Quidditch World Cup that the family watched, many of the people who came to watch the Triwizard Tournament this time were young wizards, and Zhang Xu also saw a lot of Hogwarts students who graduated in the past two years.

Once the crowd was seated, Dumbledore stood up, and the entire arena immediately fell silent.

Next, Dumbledore began to speak.

At the same time, Zhang Xu distributed snacks to his friends sitting next to him.

Gabrielle's sautéed chestnuts with sugar, Scarlett's sunflower seeds, Tonya's cranberry cookies, Zhang Qiu's dried figs, Harry's tomato-flavored popcorn, Hermione's fried corn cob, Neville and Hannah's nougat, twin brothers' toffees, Daphne and her sister's syrup-filled QQ candy......

Zhang Xu handed a snack to the friends sitting nearby.

Even Draco Malfoy, who was sitting not far away, Zhang Xu threw him a bag of small dried fish.

After the snacks were distributed, Dumbledore's leadership speech was over.

As soon as Dumbledore's speech ended, the audience burst into applause as the band of the Weird Sisters appeared on stage.

Soon, the passionate and unrestrained melody sounded in the sky above the arena.

With the "Go, go, go! Ale， ale， ale ！ The song sounded, and the emotions of the audience in the arena were aroused, and even Gabrielle waved her hands with the audience.

Seeing that "The Cup of Life", which he copied after making slight changes to the Triwizard Tournament, became an instant hit, Zhang Xu nodded with satisfaction, music crosses borders, crosses the barriers between wizards and Muggles.

As the music ended, the quirky sister bands, who completed the theme song of this year's Triwizard Tournament, left the stage to the warm applause of the audience.

Next, with a wave of the wand in Dumbledore's hand, the water in the pool behind the stage sprayed at high speed from the bottom up, atomizing to form a wall-like "screen", and then the avatars of the four warriors appeared on the water screen.

At the same time, Fleur and the other four walked out of the tent in the corner of the mall and stood in the center of the stage.

At this time, the director of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Physical Education, Ludo, who came out of the tent with Fleur. Bagman came to the referee's bench to brief the crowd on the upcoming match.

"In the Forbidden Forest, there are seven different fire dragons, and among the eggs guarded by each fire dragon is a golden egg, and the warriors are tasked with picking up the golden egg."

"Warriors will get a corresponding number of points for each golden egg they pick up, and the more golden eggs they pick up, the higher the number of points they get."

"At the end of the game, the judges scored based on the Warriors' performance and the number of golden eggs the Warriors picked up."

"The warriors are looking for the fire dragon in the Forbidden Forest, and while picking up the golden eggs from the dragon's side, they must also watch out for the dangers in the Forbidden Forest."

Wait for Ludo. After Bagman's introduction, the avatars of the four warriors turned into live images of the four of them on the water curtain behind the stage.

As if playing a game, the view from the water screen is located behind them, and their activities and surroundings can be seen from the water screen.

Zhang Xu could see that this was Dumbledore's handiwork, and last year, Lao Deng tossed the big screen used by Zhang Xu in class and the equipment they used to make movies.

Eventually, Dumbledore developed the water screen film and live streaming system.

With Ludo. At Bagman's command, the four warriors walked through the water curtain into the Forbidden Forest.

"It's a bit of a fun competition." Zhang Xu said while eating a piece of yogurt berry sandwich biscuit.

"Old Deng, they will also play two peach and kill three soldiers." Scarlett swallowed melon seeds and said, "There are four warriors and seven golden eggs, and the possibility of everyone sharing the golden eggs equally has been eliminated in the past few days." In order not to have fewer golden eggs than others, then you must get at least two golden eggs. If they don't want to get only one golden egg for themselves, or even none at all, then they have to give it their all. ”

"In fact, the best option is for three of them to join forces to deal with the six fire dragons, and each person will get two golden eggs before the one who is isolated gets the second golden egg, which is safe and trouble-free." Zhang Xu said while putting away the biscuits and taking out a bag of peanuts.

"The problem is the time difference," said Scarlett after conjuring a trash can on the ground for melon seed shells, "three people against six dragons is theoretically longer than one person against two." And that's not even counting the time spent searching for the location of the fire dragon in the Forbidden Forest. If the three of them are to join forces, then it is necessary to send one of them to drag the other person back to be on the safe side. But then there is a good chance that it will become two duos, and the advantage of the trio will be gone, and everyone will be on the same starting line. ”

"The people at the Ministry of Magic seem to have put a lot of thought into it." Zhang Xu said, "They weren't afraid that the warriors would join forces from the beginning. ”

Several people around listened to Zhang Xu and Scarlett's analysis, and they couldn't stop nodding.

"Are the other animals in the Forbidden Forest dangerous?" Tonya, who was sitting next to Gabrielle, asked worriedly.

"There are no more dangerous animals on this side of Hogwarts." Zhang Xu thought for a while and said, "The centaur tribe that lives in it believes that Dumbledore has already settled them. The human-eating spiders that originally inhabited it are almost extinct. Now there are only a handful of large animals there that can kill people who enter the Forbidden Forest at once. Other animals, such as various venomous snakes, are not much of a problem as long as they are careful. ”

Tonya nodded reassuringly, and then focused on the water screen live movie in front of the audience.
