15. Preparation before the start of the competition (1)
After the feast, the ladies of Beauxbatons spent the night at Hogwarts, while the men of Durmstrang returned to the medieval ship at Karkaroff's request.
To the students' reassurance, the Elemental Guards began their patrol mission that night. These sleepless perpetual creatures keep their eyes on every inch of the land, and no creature wants to break into Hogwarts from under their noses, and the elven engineering team that built the playing field has stepped up.
Just after midnight, as the rain smeared the old castle, Smith Wilson even arrived at Hogwarts with a group of Aurors.
After receiving the notice, Li Kuan got dressed and met this old friend who he hadn't seen for a long time in the Hogwarts cafeteria.
Because of Li Kuan's arrangement, Smith Wilson doesn't look like he was lonely and stingy as an Auror, but he is not a nouveau riche show-off, and there are enough medals on his ordinary uniform, which represents the merits he once made for the Ministry of Magic, and compared with ordinary Aurors, he just wears a series of dark trench coats.
However, his mouth did not change at all, and when he saw Li Kuan walking into the cafeteria, he walked over with a chicken leg and gave Li Kuan a hug.
"It's good to see you again, the days of guarding the frontier and capturing spies are simply not what people should do."
"So you're here just to get something to eat?"
"Of course, it would be a fool not to be blessed."
The two laughed, looked at each other and sat down.
"Would you like to take a bite? This chicken thigh tastes good. ”
"No, it wasn't long after dinner. You feel free. ”
Smith Wilson was not polite, took the chicken leg on the table and ate it, and when he was full, he wiped his lips and said, "This is the best meal I've had in a while." ”
"Are border guards tight? From the battle reports sent, it was all victories in the battle. Li Kuan frowned and said.
"Of course not, I'm training a bunch of new Aurors, you know, they include witchers and weak wizards that we've eliminated before, and I'm tired of making sure these guys can be trained and survive.
But fortunately, the master felt sorry for me, and the defense areas arranged were all places with little impact. It's a lot easier than your Death Eaters. Smith Wilson said with a shrug.
"Master?"
"Your uncle, the legendary Auror Meghan. He finally became my master under my pleading.
The two of us also lived up to the name and had a solid relationship. Not bad! ”
Li Kuan shrugged and said, "So it was also my uncle's idea to let you personally lead the team to Hogwarts to take over the defense." ”
Smith Wilson nodded, knocked on the table and said, "It can be said that although the master guards the border so that the coalition forces of the Ministry of Magic of many countries cannot attack, he is not sure that anyone will escape the blockade and successfully sneak in, especially when the ministers of magic of several countries are also here."
The master was not at ease, so I asked some of the elite Aurors to rush over to support, and all the ordinary Aurors who were supposed to be transferred over went to the border to train. ”
"Won't this make border guards tighter?"
"It's impossible, the Aurors led by the master will have one or two masters' skills, and compared to ordinary Aurors, the magic cultivation is much higher. And a steady stream of troops is being recruited by the Ministry of Magic to go to the frontier. When your church's troops are trained, they may be able to fight a beautiful turnaround.
However, Master asked me to bring you and Professor Albus Dumbledore a sentence each. ”
"What are the words for me?"
"The master said: It's no problem to help you fight the world, your aunt must help him find it."
“……”
Li Kuan knew that it was still like this, but where was his aunt, he could only ask his father and mother, who had not come back yet.
Maybe after everything here is done, Li Kuan will have to go to the East, which is also very mysterious in this world.
After dinner, he handed over the defense problem to Smith Wilson, and Li Kuan returned to his room and fell asleep.
The next morning, it was not yet dawn. The students of the three schools were woken up by the training of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.
Yawning to wipe off the grease on their faces, Li Kuan and Hermione, along with Elu the Cat Six, let the elves who served them dress them and lead them to the cafeteria.
While eating a hearty breakfast, an assistant-like elf recites the timetable.
Although Hermione knew that this was the embodiment of the most extreme service of the waiter who was transferred, she was still a little uncomfortable and silently eating her own food.
Li Kuan, who has a strong ability to adapt, reflects a casual and calm expression.
This led Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, who saw the two yesterday, to speculate about their identities.
After talking about the timetable change, the elf started to cut the food to the most suitable size before retreating and replacing it with the goblin who walked up with the folder.
The goblin of this short race was wearing a suit with an ill-fitting fit, and forcibly raised his head and said to Li Kuan, "Dear sir, according to your requirements, the building of the arena is expected to be completed by noon, and in order to achieve the sturdiness of the structure, we have chosen ............ To sum up, this stadium is a qualified product, if there is no problem, please sign for it. ”
Li Kuan took the folder, read it, signed his name, and said, "Another project must be completed as soon as possible." ”
"Of course, Mr. Li Kuan. After the arrangement of the stadium is completed, we will complete another project as soon as possible. ”
Hearing Li Kuan's name, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang players suddenly realized that this very luxurious-looking teenager was Li Kuan, who was known as the third legendary wizard in the British wizarding world.
"It turns out that Li Kuan is so young and so young? I thought he was an old man, like Professor Albus Dumbledore. ”
"I thought so before I met him, but ...... It's incredible, he ...... Fifteen years at most, right? Fifteen-year-old legendary wizard? ”
"In other words, he may participate in the Goblet of Fire this time, and he is also one of the players of the Goblet of Fire!"
"No, if he participates, how are we going to compete?"
"No, don't forget, it's divided by grade! That is to say......"
"In other words, Hogwarts will win all of them in one year at most, and the other grades will still be a battle between us."
"Yes, that's right."
"Then I'm relieved?"
"Am I the only one who noticed that Li Kuan looks so beautiful, even more beautiful than the girl next to him?"
"I thought I was the only one who saw it."
"Not to mention, it's really beautiful."
