Chapter 174: Hostage

Hermione's worldview was greatly impacted, and she looked stunned for the rest of the day, and when it was time for dinner to finish eating in the cafeteria, Hermione did not completely recover, and it was estimated that it would take a long time to digest this information from her appearance.

"Didn't you do it to the little girl?"

Skaha grabbed a stack of pastries and leaned over to Ethan's side with a curious expression.

"No, it won't. ”

"Hermione looks like she was poisoned by you. ”

"Just told her who we were. Ethan wanted to go back: What is it like? Not at all, okay?

"I see. ”

Skaha noticed that things didn't seem to be going in an interesting direction, and she stepped back with a disappointed face, only to throw down the sentence deliberately: "But there are more and more little girls around you!"

“......”

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Illya, who was holding Xiaobai and looking at him expressionlessly, Ethan decided to 'just pretend that he didn't understand', and walked around in a random direction, and took a walk after cooking to help digestion, even if this body did not have indigestion problems at all.

In addition to telling Hermione his identity, the most interesting thing during this time is that Hogwarts is going to hold a ball, and as a participant in the Triwizard Tournament, Ethan will be one of the lead dancers.

Snape greeted him specifically for this, telling him to prepare his dress in advance, and if he didn't know how to dance, he should learn it as soon as possible.

"Dance?"

Ethan really won't, since he traveled through and obtained the space-time pointer, his first years were constantly trying to survive and become stronger.

Later, his survival was guaranteed, and he did not stop making himself stronger.

He is very attentive to collecting and learning all kinds of knowledge and abilities or props that can make him stronger, and these things definitely do not include the skill of dancing.

With Ethan's current learning ability and physical coordination, he only needs to watch these simple dance moves once, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

Instead of dwelling on that, it is better to dwell on who should be chosen as a dance partner.

"How I feel like I'm in trouble. ”

After thinking about it, Ethan decided to invite Illya. It didn't matter if Skaha didn't pay attention, but Illya would be angry if she didn't pay attention.

After living in this world for a few years, Illya gradually stopped clinging to Ethan as she did at the beginning, and from time to time she would find things to pass the time by herself.

But most of the time, she will stay by Ethan's side, and she seems to have neglected her a little during this time.

"So, that's compensation?"

Illya looked at Ethan with a 'seen through' expression, but she happily accepted the invitation.

This was Ethan's invitation, and it was impossible for Illya to refuse, not to mention that she was very interested in the ball. With a few years of quiet campus life, she is now smiling every day, which is completely different from when she always had a cold face and occasionally laughed like a sneer.

"Also prepare the dress. ”

Since Illya was very happy and took care of all the preparations, Ethan had nothing to do but wait quietly for the day of the ball.

"Have you solved the secret of the golden egg?"

On this day, he was still reading in the corner as usual, and Hermione, who hadn't seen him for a while, suddenly found him, thinking that he was continuing to ask about his identity, but he didn't expect to be asking about the Triwizard Tournament.

"Golden eggs? Oh, you said that. ”

The first game is to capture the golden egg under the protection of the fire dragon, and this golden egg hides the information of the next competition.

This means that the three players who successfully get the golden egg will know some of the content of the game before the next match starts, so as to have some advantages.

And Victor, who damaged the golden egg, can only choose to improvise.

Ethan didn't unlock the trap on the golden egg, because he already knew what the second game was about.

Dive into the Black Lagoon next to Hogwarts and rescue the 'very important people' to the contestants who have been captured and trapped at the bottom of the lake.

The more troublesome part of this competition is how to be underwater for a long time.

This is not a problem for Ethan at all, not to mention him now, even Ethan before he formed the god body, he can stay underwater as long as he wants, until he wants to leave.

As for the mermaids, those guys can only rely on the convenience of the 'home' to cause a little trouble for the contestants, and they can't cause trouble for Ethan.

The only headache is that the hostage who will be taken does not know who it will be?

According to the original plot, the target of the four contestants Harry is his friend Ron, Victor wants to save Hermione, who has a good relationship during this time and even has a little bit of that kind of sprout, Cedric Diggory is going to rescue Zhang Qiu, and the two are dating, and Fleur wants to save her sister.

Now that he has replaced Cedric, it is impossible for Zhang Qiu to be taken hostage again, and from the perspective of relationships, Illya is likely to become a replacement.

But with Illya's character, I'm afraid she won't be a hostage obediently, right? Before the order was given to start the game, Illya, who woke up over there, made a big fuss in the black lake and killed all the mermaids in the water, so the situation would be lively.

Because the merfolk in the Black Lagoon have a good relationship with Hogwarts, they will participate in this competition.

As for the so-called kidnapping of the important people of the contestants, trapping them underwater, and dying if they can't be rescued in time, etc., it is also fooling these half-grown children.

The Ministry of Magic and all the professors at Hogwarts will ensure the safety of these 'hostages', which means that even if a contestant fails, they don't have to watch the most important person die in front of their eyes, and the professors and merfolk are just working together in a play.

In this case, of course, Illya can't be killed casually, so Ethan decided to find a time to say hello to Dumbledore, and don't choose Illya or Skaha as hostages, hmm...... Leah doesn't seem to be able to do it either, who knows if she will suddenly awaken the power of the demon king.

As for Rin Tosaka...... Well, she has a lot of potential to be a good hostage.

"What are you thinking?"

I thought a little far for a while, and I forgot that Hermione was waiting for her answer.

"You've already solved the secret of the golden egg, haven't you?"

"Yes. Ethan looked at Hermione next to him, and suddenly remembered that Hermione and Harry were also good friends, "You're here to help Harry ask?"

"Harry has unlocked the secret of the golden egg. Hermione then looked at Ethan again, as if looking at something strange, "I should have known a long time ago, how could a puzzle of this magnitude stump you?"

Ethan understood now, Hermione was worried that she hadn't studied the golden egg, so she wanted to remind him.

"Thank you. ”

"No, it didn't help much anyway. ”

Hermione stood up and prepared to leave, only to be stopped by Ethan.

"What's wrong?"

"Here's to you. ”

Ethan flipped through his hand and had an inconspicuous necklace in his hand, similar to the kind of chain sold at a roadside stall.

However, Hermione wouldn't really think of it as a roadside vendor, after all, the identity of the person in front of her was a bit scary, and she hadn't completely believed those words until now.

"What is this?"

"An amulet, I see you're no longer wearing a time-turner. ”

Hermione touched her neck, her face slightly reddened.

"You actually noticed?"

Ethan wanted to say, 'I'm not blind,' but then realized that he was okay and kept staring at the girl's neck, which made it feel weird.

It's hard to explain, saying that my mental strength and eyesight are too strong, and no matter how small changes can escape my perception, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be helpful.

In the end, I could only remind a few words awkwardly: "Remember to wear it on your body, it will help." ”

Hermione opened her mouth, said nothing, and walked away briskly with her necklace.

In fact, the necklace in her hand has several spells on it, such as restoring sanity, underwater breathing, and visual enhancement, so that Hermione will not suffer so much when she is taken hostage.

Although Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic will do their best to ensure the safety of these hostages, it is not a warm day, and there is no less sin in soaking in the icy waters.

Cold, choking, and suffocating are not comfortable, although the professors will make some arrangements, otherwise ordinary people will drown in the lake after soaking for an hour at the bottom of the lake.

And with this amulet, Hermione can wake up in advance, and don't have to worry about choking after the spell on her body is unlocked, and she can watch the excitement at the bottom of the lake with her enhanced vision.

If only she does wear this amulet.

The next day, Ethan took a special look at Hermione's neck, wearing an amulet that he had given her.

Hermione didn't have to worry about it, Ethan immediately went to find Dumbledore and explained Illya's situation to him.

"Rest assured, we're not prepared to hold Illya hostage for this competition. ”

As for how Ethan knew what the game was about, Dumbledore didn't even bother to think about it.

"And Skaha...... Forehead...... We don't think it's a good idea to take this one hostage. ”

Other people who are close to Ethan, such as Leah and Rin Tosaka, are not ready to think about it, which makes Ethan strange.

"And who are you going me to save?"

"We also have a headache for this issue. Dumbledore has been thinking about this for a while, and the few people around Ethan try not to disturb as much as possible, but no one is close to Ethan except for these few people.

"Maybe you can make a choice?"

Ethan touched his chin, and Dumbledore threw the question back, only to realize that it was really not a good choice.

"Or ...... Draco Malfoy?"

After thinking about it, this young master of the Malfoy family is very knowledgeable about current affairs and has not provoked himself, so there is no need to deliberately trap him.

"Whatever you want! This time I'll keep a low profile and stay in the water a little longer. ”

The subtext is: The hostages will suffer, you can choose them.
