Chapter 150: Dumbledore: The Goblet of Fire is not for you to play with
The banquet was a success, and the guests from all over the world ate to the fullest.
When all the snacks on the table are gone, it means that it will be time for the leader to speak.
Dumbledore first introduced Barty Crouch, Director of the International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic, and Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Physical Education and Sports of the Ministry of Magic.
Dumbledore then showed the students the Goblet of Fire for the Warriors.
The Goblet of Fire is a large, roughly-cut wooden goblet that is nothing in its own right.
Zhang Xu felt that the radish carving when he practiced Shenfeng without a shadow was more beautiful than it.
However, as the so-called mountain is not high, there is a fairy name. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual.
When a cup is filled with blue-white flames, not to mention a wooden cup, it is a disposable paper cup, which can show how unusual it is.
The Goblet of Fire has a long history, but its origins are varied.
Zhang Xu wanted to buckle a piece of wood from the cup and take it back for a carbon-14 identification. But he didn't dare, he was afraid that he would be beaten into a spicy thousand pieces by the three principals.
The most popular theory is that the cup was made by Merlin himself and was used to select warriors for King Arthur.
To put it simply, it is the interviewer of King Arthur's human resources department.
As for why Merlin used such an ugly wooden cup as a carrier, the inside story is unknown.
Just like the Hogwarts Sorting Hat has the thinking of the four founders of the house, if the Goblet of Fire was really used by King Arthur for interviews, then the cup should also have King Arthur's thinking in it.
Well...... So will it be possible to jump out of the cup a dumb king?
Look, the flames inside the cup are blue and white, and the equipment of the Dull Hair King is also mainly blue and white.
When you think about it, it's really possible.
In the past, the Goblet of Fire could only be used to select Champions for the Triwizard Tournament, and it was likely that it was used in the wrong position.
If the Goblet of Fire is opened in the correct posture, will a Silly King pop out of the cup, and then say, "Servant Saber, follow the call, I ask you, how much do you know about our country?" Why did you choose our country? What can you do for us? If I hire you, how will you do your job? How much salary do you want?"
Just when Zhang Xu's mind kept changing between lotus root, honeycomb coal, and hula hoop, Dumbledore, who had finished a series of rules for the competition, registration rules and precautions, announced that the banquet was over.
The next day was Saturday, a day of lazy sleep.
But Zhang Xu had to wake up early in the morning, and if he didn't wake up, he would become the first protagonist in the Harry Potter fandom to be suffocated by his sister-in-law's pinching of her nose and mouth.
Fleur and Gabrielle were back in Beauxbatons' carriage last night to rest, although Zhang Xu had such and such plans, but the first day was still a little more restrained.
Today, Furong and the others are going to sign up collectively, so Gabrielle, who is free to do things, ran to Zhang Xu's dormitory early in the morning.
Zhang Xu, who had barely slept all night, rubbed Gabrielle's face and made her withdraw her hand.
After pouring a cup of Wahaha fruit milk for Gabrielle, Zhang Xu yawned and walked into the bathroom to wash and change.
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Xu took Gabrielle to the foyer.
The Goblet of Fire was placed on a shelf in the center of the foyer, and a thin square circle of gold coils was drawn on the floor, ten feet long on each side, enclosing the cup in the middle.
The students of Durmstrang, who had just thrown their names into the Goblet of Fire, were leaving the foyer, and now there was only a group of Hogwarts students watching.
Just then, Summers of the Badger House walked out, confidently walking towards the Goblet of Fire with a parchment note.
Under the watchful eye of the students around him, when he walked into the golden thread on the ground, it was as if he was grabbed by a large invisible hand and thrown out.
With a loud popping sound, a long white beard appeared on Summers' chin.
The crowd of onlookers in the foyer burst into laughter.
After Summers got up, Zhang Xu conjured an ice mirror in front of him.
After seeing his messy white beard, Summers couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Xu walked up to Summers and asked a question that many Harry Potter readers want to ask: "Why don't you stand outside the gold thread and throw the note in?" ”
Summers, who was touching his beard, shook his hand and accidentally tore off a strand of his beard, causing him to twitch in pain.
The side of the gold line that Dumbledore drew was only ten feet long, which was a little over three meters. The Goblet of Fire in the middle was only one meter five meters away from the golden thread, and it was not very difficult to throw the parchment paper in a ball.
A few students in the crowd quickly got started, quickly writing slips of paper and crumpling them into balls, and then standing together on the edge of the gold thread.
Several of them looked at each other, nodded at each other, and then shot at the same time, throwing the ball of paper towards the Goblet of Fire.
Everyone's eyes flew into the golden coil along with the paper ball, and flew towards the Goblet of Fire.
However, when the ball of paper was a slap away from the Goblet of Fire, the ball of paper flying in the air suddenly stopped, and then the ball of paper flew towards the wizard who had thrown them at high speed as if someone had ejected it, and finally the parchment ball smashed on their heads.
The crowd erupted in laughter again.
The students of Hogwarts, who were prompted, began to experiment with various ways to circumvent the gold coil that Dumbledore had drawn.
When Fleur and the others came to the foyer to sign up, they saw a giraffe standing outside the gold coil, with a parchment note in its mouth, and was sticking its head above the Goblet of Fire to throw the parchment into it.
As a result, the golden thread flashed, and the giraffe turned back into the dining hall and fell to the table, and the note fell to the ground.
If Fleur had come earlier, she could have seen all sorts of strange ways to bypass the golden coil and throw the parchment slip in.
Normally, the levitation spell is used, but as soon as the note floats into the gold coil, the levitation spell becomes invalid.
Someone brought a broomstick and tried to fly quickly from the air above the gold coil, and threw the paper into the goblet of fire while the gold coil was still in effect. As a result, he flew out of the gate with a broomstick.
The twin brothers, after seeing that the age-booster was useless, tried to use the lassock to get the goblet of fire out of the gold coil, but the lassock burned. The other planned to make a hole in the floor so that the Goblet of Fire would fall into the basement, but the castle floor was magically fortified.
The closest thing to success seemed was a student standing in front of the golden line holding a fishing rod reaching for the Goblet of Fire, with a parchment note with his name on the hook hanging from the fishing line.
It's just that when the note was prepared above the Goblet of Fire, Zhang Xu saw that the hook and line were burning, and even the parchment note was burning.
Eventually, Dumbledore showed up and took away a student who tried to use the Goblet of Fire kebab.
