Chapter 416 The First Test
He checked with Hagrid several times until he was sure that they were really going to complete this incredible task, and until now he still had a look on his face that was about to die. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He still remembered the basilisk in the secret room clearly, its snakeskin knife was invulnerable, water and fire were inviolable, and the spell could not penetrate at all. Those fire dragons in the game will not be easier to deal with than basilisks.
Even though he had come a long way in the past year or so, it was seriously beyond his ability to fight one of the most powerful magical creatures in the wizarding world.
It was a fifty-foot-tall dragon, with terrible fangs, so thick of scales and bumps that just looking at them could make your scalp tingle and faint.
They spew twenty to forty feet of flame, and it would take a trained group of wizards to control a dragon that had already been restrained. The contrast between him and the fire dragon is like a little bean ding, a warrior who challenges monsters with a toothpick.
"Don't worry, we're trying to figure it out!" Hermione carefully comforted Harry.
Ron handed Harry a glass of water, and as he drank it all in one go, he said in a sympathetic tone, "There's no way not to worry, it's a fire dragon, maybe the teachers are crazy." I bet none of those teachers could defeat the dragon, and they whimsically let the students fight the dragon. ā
"They won't let the students fight the dragon, they can't defeat the dragon themselves. "The first project is a test of courage, and students need to face the dragon, not defeat it." ā
He pondered for a moment and said, "You said that you also saw a lot of dragon eggs, and they are all female dragons, and the organizers will not deliberately find so many useless things." In this way, it is likely that the game will be to get the dragon egg in front of the fire dragon. ā
"Ahh ā
George slowly analyzed, "Fire dragons are powerful magical creatures, and you can't expect to rely on spells alone to hurt them. Like the basilisk, the dragon's thick skin has a tremendous amount of protection that only the most powerful spells can penetrate. ā
"Their huge bodies allow them to have no lethal parts, and even the dragon's brain is protected by a sturdy keel. The best way for a lone adult wizard to see the fire dragon is always to turn around and run away. ā
His analysis made Harry's face even more ugly, and he couldn't turn and run away.
George didn't continue to scare Harry, and said comfortingly, "Fortunately, you don't need to fight the dragon, all you need to do is avoid it and attract its attention. ā
"If it's just to attract attention, there are many ways, bright lights, loud noises, transfiguration charms, these can all attract the attention of the fire dragon. If you're choosing to be invisible and weaken your presence, it's not very difficult to dodge the dragon. ā
Hermione nodded, "These are all spells that we can use, and we don't need to learn anything in particular. ā
Over the years, they've mastered a lot of useful spells. Whether it's summoning a bright light, making a loud noise, or attacking and transforming into an animal, they don't need to learn on the fly. If the spells he had already learned could be properly matched, Harry's next task would seem to be easy to solve.
"It doesn't seem that difficult. Listening to George's analysis, Ron felt that it was not so difficult to deal with the fire dragon.
"So this project is a test of your courage, not a death for you. George said lightly, "The normal rules of the game, this project, you can only know the task on the day of the competition. ā
"You only have ten minutes to prepare, and you have to adjust your condition in a very short time and think about how to deal with the fire dragon. This is a real test of your courage and adaptability, and now that you know the task so many days in advance, it will naturally not be difficult for you. ā
"No wonder the previous contestants would have died so many people, and it took more than ten minutes to figure out how to deal with the fire dragon, I guess only you can do it. Harry's mood finally eased, and his tone became lighter. With everyone's help, the seemingly incredible task has become so much easier.
George continued, "It's not hard to deal with it, it's important to keep your composure when you're facing the dragon's intimidation, the flames it spews. ā
He looked at Harry for a few seconds and said, "I'm not worried about Harry's words. The one to worry about is Cedric, he doesn't have that many people to figure it out for him, maybe he doesn't even know what to do. ā
Before school started, he took Harry, Hermione, and Ron to the African savannah in the form of Animagus to adapt to the predator fight. From the beginning of their inability to move, their fear of seeing blood, and their vomiting at the sight of corpses, they quickly transformed into iron-blooded warriors.
This is the sorcerer, the transcendent who wields special powers, the incredible warrior. Wizards control more than magic, more than power, and control themselves completely.
Strong wills and a variety of magic can help them use their intellect to overwhelm physical reactions and emotions in battle. Extraordinary power can turn the least warlike into a formidable warrior.
Harry pondered for a moment and said, "I think I should go and tell Cedric that I saw Lady Maxim and Karkaroff at the fire dragon, and they already knew about it. They're sure to tell their students about it, and now Cedric is the only one who doesn't know about the competition. ā
"That's how it should be, Cedric is also from our school, and we can't let him face the fire dragon alone without knowing anything. Everyone is a classmate, and if there is an accident, it will not be good at that time. Hermione nodded, looking at Harry approvingly.
"That's fine, since Harry isn't going to win the Triwizard Tournament, at least Cedric should be given the title -- or maybe Krum might as well be the champion -- or Fleur seems to be too" Ron's voice grew quieter and weaker, and he didn't know who should win the title. It seems that everyone has a reason to win the championship.
George smiled lightly and said, "Whoever wins the championship is fine, as long as the game is safe, it is the best game." ā
If possible, he would prefer this tournament to be peaceful. With every little extra time, he had an advantage over Voldemort. It wasn't him, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the Brotherhood.
