When the slices of meat were finished and the mandrake slices, white fresh leaves, and biting cabbage leaves were added to the pot for the soup, Krum knew who Professor Sprout's warning was about.

The meal was a great delight for the guests and hosts, and all the lamb slices prepared by Dobby were eaten.

After everyone had eaten and drunk and chatted in the living room for a while, the guests took their leave.

Gabrielle ran to her room, and Zhang Xu and Fleur discussed the first tournament in the study in the near future.

This study is one of the best defensive places in the entire villa.

Because most of the books in it are copies of the books in the real Slytherin vaults. After Zhang Xu's efforts for more than half a year, all the books in the secret room were copied in two copies, Zhang Xu kept one for himself and the other for the Scarlett family.

Zhang Xu and Furong sat on the sofa and made various speculations about the first event of the tournament.

"The competition items are mainly scored by the judges, and the judges will score after the contestants complete the competition." Zhang Xu said.

Fleur nodded, something that Madame Maxim had revealed to her.

"If you want to score high, you have to finish the race as quickly as possible, you have to avoid mistakes that can hurt you as much as possible, and the third is to make the game more exciting while making sure that the first two are achieved." Zhang Xu continued.

"Then you need to give priority to the first and second points in the game." Fleur said, "Finishing the race is the most basic requirement, and you need to protect yourself on the premise of completing the game to avoid being unable to finish the next game due to injury. ”

Zhang Xu thought for a while and said: "I think the most priority is the second point, protect yourself. Only by protecting yourself can you complete the game better. As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties. On the premise of ensuring your own safety, you can come up with a solution to the problem. ”

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he used the flying spell to summon a few books on the shelf.

Zhang Xu opened the book, picked up the bookmark on the table, recorded a few points, and then sandwiched it in the book, and then put the book in front of Furong.

"There are several defensive spells here, ranging from fire prevention to anti-psychic attacks, and you can learn them these days." Zhang Xu said, "You know, you can't bring these books back to the carriage. I spoke to Madame Maxim, and she agreed that you could stay with me for the night and learn these spells. But Gabrielle had to get back into the carriage. ”

Furong, who heard the meaning of Zhang Xu's words, stretched out her hand and twisted the flesh on his soft underbelly.

Next, Zhang Xu continued to analyze the content of the game with Furong.

"The first project is to test your guts," Zhang Xu said, "what do you think is the most feared thing when you can only use a magic wand?" Spells, or Fantastic Beasts? And this project can be done in front of the audience, and it is impossible for you to finish the game in a place where the audience can't see it. ”

Fleur thought about it along Zhang Xu's train of thought, and said, "If you remove the things related to black magic that are not suitable for appearing in the game, which can not only make people afraid, but also effectively control those that will not cause death to the warriors and the audience, it is most likely the fire dragon." ”

After saying that, Fleur was taken aback by her own guess.

Next, the more Fleur thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right, on the one hand, the Triwizard Tournament would not use some cats and dogs as a competition event, and on the other hand, there were many precedents in the history of the previous Championship to use fire dragons as a competition event.

Zhang Xu held Furong's trembling hand, patted it gently, and said, "Don't worry, even if the competition is related to the fire dragon, it won't be for you to slay the dragon." You must know that a fire dragon is not cheap, if you really kill a few of them, the year-end bonus of our professors will be over. So the most you can do is complete some kind of mission under the threat of a dragon. ”

"Then I'll take the fire dragon as a hypothetical target and prepare for the first project." Fleur said, "If it weren't for the fire dragon, it would be easier to deal with." ”

"Okay." Zhang Xu thought for a while and said, "Next, let's analyze the characteristics of the fire dragon. ”

Then Zhang Xu used the Flying Spell to summon a notebook that he specially used to record various fire dragons.

"Australian Albumen Eyes: Considered one of the most beautiful dragons, with pearly scales that are rainbow-colored, and glasses without pupils that are sparkling and colorful."

"Dragon Lion: Smooth scales scarlet, a lion's nose on its face, a ring of golden tassel-like spikes around its nose, and bulging eyes."

"Common Welsh Green Dragon: The body is green, and it is a fire dragon native to the United Kingdom. It is the least troublesome of all the dragons, and its flames erupt from between the thin upper and lower jaws. ”

"The Black Dragon of the Hehitiri Islands: Another native fire dragon of the United Kingdom. It has rough black scales, bright purple eyes, and a row of small but razor-sharp ridges on its back. At the tip of the tail is a thin arrow with bat-like wings. The Hirshidiri Black Dragon can reach up to thirty feet in length. ”

"Hungarian Tree Bee: Considered the most dangerous fire dragon. The body is covered with black scales and looks like a lizard. It has yellow eyes, bronze-colored horns, and a long tail with spikes of similar color. ”

"Norwegian Ridgeback: Similar to the Hungarian tree bee, but without spikes on its tail. There is a jet-black ridge on the back. ”

"Peruvian Poison Tooth Dragon: Only about fifteen feet long, with smooth scales, a brassy body, and a black ridge on its back. The head has short horns, and the teeth are highly poisonous. ”

"Romanian long-horned dragon: dark green scales with two long horns that shimmer golden."

"Swedish Short-nosed Dragon: The scales are silvery-blue, and the nostrils are spewing dazzling blue flames that can turn wood and bones to ashes in an instant."

"Ukrainian Iron Belly: The largest fire dragon in the world, with shiny gray scales, dark red eyes, and long, vicious claws."

"The common denominator of fire dragons is that their thick skin is permeated with ancient magic, which only the most powerful spells can penetrate."

Zhang Xu read the most common characteristics of fire dragons recorded in his notebook, as well as some common characteristics of fire dragons.

"To sum up," Zhang Xu put down his notebook and said to Furong, "the fire dragon's attack and defense are very strong. Neither the flames they spew, nor the claws and teeth they spewed, could not be carried, and the best option was to dodge. And ordinary magic attacks, it is difficult to have an effect on their bodies. ”

"Then I'll try to hypnotize the fire dragon first." Fleur said, "If it works, everything will work." ”

"Then you'll have to put on defensive magic for yourself." Zhang Xu said, "Because I don't know how effective your hypnotic magic will actually be on the fire dragon, it's right to be careful." ”

Fleur thought for a moment and nodded.

Fleur then said, "I can also attract the attention of the fire dragon when I think of it, such as using Transfiguration to conjure other animals and run in the other direction." ”

Zhang Xu also nodded in agreement.

In this way, Zhang Xu and Furong analyzed all the weaknesses of the fire dragon little by little.
