Chapter 152: Marriage
The running speed of the Innate Martial Cultivator is thirty kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to the speed of an ordinary electric vehicle.
If you run at this speed, ordinary martial arts can last about two hours. Of course, running as desperately as I could do it is a different story.
The forbidden forest is no better than the plains, the trees in it are high and grassy, the mountains are high and the forests are deep, and no one has set foot in them for hundreds of years, so although the straight-line distance through the place is only 30 kilometers, there are nearly 100 kilometers to catch up under the twists and turns.
Harry was a warrior and rival to each other, so the four went their separate ways.
An hour later.
Victor took the lead and ran at the front. Cedric was behind Wickdore, half a kilometre on his right rear flank.
Harry and Fleur were less than fifty metres apart, Harry in front and Fleur behind, a kilometer away from Wickdor.
Backwardness at this time doesn't mean much, and in the Forbidden Forest, luck is often more important than strength.
You must know that walking in the dangerous jungle, the most deadly ones are not large animals, but those snakes, insects, rats and ants that are small in size but unguardable!
Maybe one moment you are walking in the forest, and the next moment you will be bitten hard by a poisonous insect that comes out from under the dead leaves, on your bare neck!
It is precisely for this reason that at this time, that is, a third of the journey, the four of them slowed down at the same moment, as if they had agreed.
Harry and Fleur were not far apart, and in line with the principle of helping each other before his classmates, he reminded: "Further on is the middle level near the inner layer of the Forbidden Forest, according to the book, in ancient times, the middle layer of the Forbidden Forest was often infested with dragons. Now it is not ancient, but it is unknown whether there are still dragons in the middle layer. Let's be careful! β
What kind of person is Fleur? To borrow the words of her later mother-in-law, Ron's mother, she was an arrogant and selfish woman.
Harry obviously knew Fleur's personality as well, but he didn't care too much, in his world, as long as she was a beautiful woman, she must be trustworthy.
The reason for this thought is that her mother's sister, his Aunt Penny, is very unfriendly to him, and Penny is an ugly woman!
And Hermione, Luna, Angelina, and other people who are good to him, are all beautiful women!
Fleur looked at Harry differently, for Hogwarts, she had the impression that it was a dark, damp castle.
She is also unkind to the people who live in Hogwarts Castle - perhaps because of her beauty, she has been ostracized from the Hogwarts school students. This led her to subconsciously classify the people of Hogwarts as unfriendly!
Now Harry's apparently friendly reminder was the first time in Fleur's Hogwarts career, and the fact that the two were rivals had to surprise her!
"Thank you!"
Although she had already known the information in Harry's words, she thanked Harry for it. She is arrogant and selfish, but she also knows good and evil. Harry was kind to her, and she naturally wouldn't speak ill of Harry!
Harry reminded Fleur that it was out of pure affection for the beauty, and that it was not within his scope of consideration whether Fleur would accept it or notβhe was also a member of Hogwarts, and he had heard the rumors about Fleur at school.
But he didn't expect Fleur to thank him, which was a bit unexpected for him.
However, he and Fleur are competitors, and it is already his limit to remind him, and if he continues, he is afraid that he will have to cooperate. This kind of obvious hostile behavior is something that he can't do with Hogwarts glory as his mission!
Harry smiled at Fleur and nodded, not speaking.
Fleur also understood the difference between the two identities, and smiled at Harry as well, but remained silent.
In this way, time passed slowly, and Wickdor was the first to enter the middle of the Forbidden Forest, followed by Cedric, Fleur, and Harry.
No matter how detailed the description is, it is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes. The moment Harry entered and exited the middle level, he was surprised to find that the scenery around him was completely different!
It's not the kind of gradual difference, but it seems to have broken through a layer of barriers, and in an instant, the whole world is turned upside down!
At this time, Harry suddenly remembered a sentence from the ancient book: The Forbidden Forest is not a whole, but is like building blocks, accumulated layer by layer!
The four major areas of the outer layer, the middle layer, the inner layer, and the core, each layer has a completely different scenery, and even the humidity, temperature, radiation, and even magical creatures are different!
And the risk factor is multiplied!
When he first read this, he was a little unimpressed, after all, most of those ancient books were collected by Hogwarts from all over the world, and the quality of the books was uneven, and the credibility was really not high.
Judging from the scene in front of you, the record in this ancient book is clearly true!
If this is the case, then the risk factor is multiplied, and we have to guard against it!
Harry stopped Fleur in front of him and repeated the words of the ancient book.
Fleur didn't take Harry's words and didn't ignore them. Her pace slowed noticeably, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.
Harry, like Fleur, became cautious. The best strategy is to deal with the dangers hidden in the dead leaves or branches, and to muster up 120,000 points of spirit without divine sense!
It was already dangerous on the periphery just now, and now it is ten thousand times more dangerous than before, if you are not careful, isn't this looking for death!
The two were one in front of the other, more than 100 meters apart. I walked cautiously for an hour, and slowly drove two kilometers. During this period, they also encountered several accidents, but fortunately, both of them were prepared, so they were not fatally injured.
But one of Fleur's arms was temporarily unusable - it was bitten by a poisonous snake hidden among the branches.
"No, at this rate, we won't be able to get out of the Forbidden Forest until the sun sets!"
Harry stopped and waited for Fleur to come over, frowning at her.
The second project has a time limit of one day, but the Forbidden Forest at night is far from safe for a young wizard like Harry. If you take out the time before the start of the game, the time left for the four of Harry is less than ten hours!
At this point, Harry and the others walked about forty-two kilometers, and the outer forty kilometers took only two hours, and counting the outer forty kilometers, it took four hours.
And the inner twenty kilometers, if it were at the previous speed of Harry and the others, it would take ten hours, and this layer alone would have reached the upper limit of time, not to mention the outer layer after that!
Fleur pulled one arm and said worriedly, "I'm worried about this too, but at this speed, I'm almost dying." If you speed up, the defense around you will be weaker, and then the Forbidden Forest will not go out, and then you will leave my forty kilograms of meat here, so what should I do? β
"When the sun goes down, it's a death - unless you abstain!" Harry said helplessly, "Looks like we'll have to work together!" β
"Cooperation?" Fleur's eyes widened for a moment, "We're competitors!" β
Harry spread his hands and smiled wryly, "You think I don't know? Isn't it no way! The two of us still have a hard time working together, and not cooperating is a dead end! If you were me, what would you choose? β
Fleur is haughty, but not stupid. Although I know that I have no hope of winning the championship, there is a world of difference between failing in the second event and failing after advancing to the next round!
She didn't think long before agreeing to Harry's offer.
Unbeknownst to Harry, three kilometers ahead of them, Victor was lying dying in the weeds, the right side of his body dripping with blood.
And Cedric, a kilometer ahead, was struggling to move forward, and among the weeds and dead leaves behind him, a blood line drawn by dark red blood stains was very dazzling!
It's not anyone, they all have the same luck as Harry!
What the four of them don't know is that the purpose of the second event of the Triwizard Tournament is not competition, but cooperation!
Victor is a guy with muscles in his head, and even if he knew this, he wouldn't be able to cooperate with anyone. Cedric rushed too fast at first, and even if he woke up, it was too late.
What's more, they didn't form enough awareness of the horrors of the Forbidden Forest!
If the Forbidden Forest can even be crossed by these underage wizards, then what's the use of sealing?!
Only Harry and Fleur are in line with the purpose of the second project, which has to say that Harry has a lot of luck!
However, this kind of thing, while having great luck, often has its own aura of attracting monsters.
At this moment, fifty kilometers southwest of where Harry was at the moment, a pair of sky-blue eyes slowly opened.
And that place is the ...... of the Forbidden Forest. Heartland!
β¦β¦
Two hours later, in the middle of the second crossing, at the closest point to the core, a man and a woman rushed out in a "salsa" sound caused by the shaking of the grass.
"Even if the most dangerous part of the journey through this area has passed, we must be more careful at this time!" Harry motioned for Fleur to stop, then whispered.
"Well, I understand!" Fleur replied softly, like Harry's little daughter-in-law.
Often the more arrogant the person, once she is convinced, then her admiration and respect for the person who impresses her is often more violent and lasting than ordinary people!
Harry had earned Fleur's adoration, respect, and even inexplicable affection, and it had only been two hours!
This is the consequence of being alone and widowed in a dangerous environment!
At this time, Harry and the others in "Tenderness and Sweetness" did not know that on the road ahead of them, a trap prepared for the two of them officially entered the finishing work!
