Chapter 489: Fire Dragon (Mourning for the Headmaster.) )
What is a fire dragon?
In Muggle lore, this is a creature that loves gold, loves to catch princesses, and then is defeated by the brave. It seems that the meaning of their birth is to show the greatness of the brave, and to help the brave find a beautiful but statusful wife, so that the brave can complete the class jump in an instant.
When Luke saw these stories as a child, he always wanted to be a brave man, then marry his own princess, and finally reach the pinnacle of life. As for the dragons? Is that thing still worth caring?
After growing up a little bit, Luke knew that he could become a brave man. Princess, there are actually some in this as well. But the dragon is really hard to encounter. An evil dragon who would catch a princess of a race that has nothing to do with him is even more unreasonable.
Because, the evil dragon and the brave man in the story must be fishing law enforcement.
Of course, these were all fantasies that Luke had as a child. After crossing into this world, the fire dragon is still a top-notch magical animal in the wizarding world in a sense. Handsome, strong, and controversial. In addition, even in the wizarding world, there are many legends about fire dragons, so fire dragons are also quite popular in the wizarding world.
But in comparison, the fire dragon is not as exaggerated as those legends. Although it is still powerful, it is not invincible, let alone the strongest magical beast. I love shiny things, but I don't have the habit of catching princesses. There is not much wisdom. At least Luke had never heard of a dragon capable of speaking or using magic.
The three-headed dragon Sridora was already the smartest dragon Luke had ever seen. But even Sridora is far from being able to compete with humans in terms of intelligence.
The fire dragon is difficult to deal with, but it is definitely not impossible to deal with, as long as the way is right, even a little wizard can hold the fire dragon to a certain extent.
Spells are magical things. Don't always think about Thunderbolt Explosion, Flame Blazing, Avada Death, Avada Spells, Transformation Spells, Transfiguration Spells, or ...... Flying Spell.
Spells aren't just used to defeat enemies, kill or injure them. It should serve a purpose. And if you want to achieve a certain goal, there is often more than one way to choose.
"Is there anything you can do to deal with the dragon?"
Harry was chewing on the food on his plate with a headache, and the distress on his face was not fake.
Indeed, instead of worrying about yourself, it is better to ask the sages.
"You can put a funny spell on yourself and make the dragon laugh to death Harry."
Draco said in a complicated tone.
If you want to talk about schadenfreude, there must be. But if you want to say that there is no jealousy in this, it is certainly impossible. Even if the relationship was no longer incompatible, it would be strange if Draco and Harry didn't quarrel with each other.
Draco was convinced that Luke would become a warrior. And Luke also put his name in the Goblet of Fire in front of everyone. It's a different story from Harry.
Harry as a warrior. Even if someone knew that Harry had been framed, they would still not be convinced.
It's like right now, Ron, who doesn't say a word.
The devil knows why Ron was in such a mood for so long.
Draco's joke didn't make everyone laugh. Taylor glared at him, and Draco shut his mouth in a huff.
"We've dealt with fire dragons before. You should have been there. ”
Taylor said to Harry in a gentle tone.
Harry instantly remembered the scene when he was in his first year, when he and Luke and Taylor were working together to deal with the infant dragon Norber. This time it was said that the three of them were together, but in fact, Luke went to find the murderer behind the scenes. Taylor, on the other hand, stood in front of him and came face to face with Noble. He ran to call Professor McGonagall to save people.
To be honest, it wasn't a glorious experience. To say that this thing is an experience in dealing with fire dragons is indeed too far-fetched.
Harry was even more depressed: "I was ...... It's not a good thing......"
Harry's words didn't match the words, and everyone could feel the low pressure around him. To put it bluntly, there are more people around Harry who can rely on this time, otherwise Harry, who now knows that he has no one else to rely on, may already have an idea.
With a real helper by his side, Harry always had the feeling that he hadn't been forced into this job.
Others didn't give any answer either. To be honest, if you want to deal with something like the fire dragon, you will definitely be able to figure it out. But this was only one race, and with Luke in the game, Harry wouldn't have to worry about his safety even if he failed the challenge. So people with the idea still wanted Harry to think about it for himself.
"Why don't you try what you do best?"
After thinking for a moment, Luna suddenly spoke: "Anyway, the methods we can think of now, the surprise attack will not have much effect. Why don't you try what you do best, Harry? ”
Luna may not have any concrete plans, but she always offers a new way of thinking and direction.
"What am I best at?"
Harry pondered for a moment, "I'm definitely best at Quidditch." But...... Wait, Quidditch's words, might it really work? ”
When Hermione heard this, she quickly reacted and nodded: "There are similarities in logic, if you use Harry's current magic power to cast some offensive magic, you will definitely not be able to cause real damage to the fire dragon." Therefore, dodging the attack of the fire dragon should be the most preferred. ”
"But what about the broom problem?" Fred said, "You probably won't be allowed to bring broomsticks into the room." After all, although cheating is a tradition in the Three Witch Tournament, it is still an unspoken rule in the end. ”
If Harry had brought a broomstick in advance, it would have been a clear indication of the rules that lurk underwater. Such a person, no matter how significant the influence on the later people, will often not be very good.
Of course, Fred himself, after raising the question, quickly thought of a solution. There are both easy and difficult ones. He didn't say it, though, and wanted to see if Harry could think of anything that would work. Again, there are many things in real life that are helpless, but they are not linear, and there is often more than one way to achieve the goal.
Harry was also distressed for a while, but fortunately, after his mind was opened, Harry's mind spun quickly.
"Flying Spell! I can use the Flying Charm! Just let the fire bolts fly to my side! And the Flying Spell is so simple that you have no time to learn it! ”
Harry's face was full of joy as he said this.
Apparently quite satisfied with this approach. After all, this idea was more than he had to learn n more spells before, and it was not necessarily effective, and it was very difficult to have a certain level of proficiency in these spells in such a short period of time.
At the end of the day, as a fourth-year student, the biggest gap between Harry and Fleur and Krum is accumulation. You must know that the next few years are the years when students begin to improve their foundation and improve their abilities.
Everyone watched as Harry's distress was finally resolved, and they said no more.
As for Luke's method of dealing with the fire dragon. No one is curious.
Solutions like Harry's are a bit technical, and you have to use your brains and think of solutions. Luke didn't need that, so it was particularly boring.
Luke wasn't surprised by everyone's reaction, just eating quietly and thinking about things that had nothing to do with the Three Witches Tournament.
"Peeves, badgers and owls all have their own purposes. Except for the owl, which is a little simple, the other two guys are not very good...... We still have to find out what their real purpose is. ”
Luke wasn't really concerned about the Big Four's immortality methods. But his task list still has the task of 'Legacy of the Big Four'. There will be a nice reward for completing it. Although the system has almost become an ornament for him, after all, he is also deliberately reducing his reliance on the system. But if he can easily complete the task of getting the reward, Luke still does not refuse.
The system also understands that most of the tasks that Luke has completed in the past few years have turned into spells and magic powers, which directly enhanced Luke's strength. There is also some knowledge, which Luke took to study the snake pupil tissue. There are also a lot of results. There was also a part of the knowledge that was given to Hermione and Taylor, and it gave a huge boost to their research. Without this knowledge, it is almost impossible for these two men to achieve such great results.
Of course, none of these things are the most important. No matter how strong Luke's own personal strength is, it is impossible for him to rely on one person to enforce the order he wants. And without the snake pupil tissue that Luke found and subdued, then even if he had this knowledge, he would not have enough research resources to turn this knowledge into results.
Without Hermione and Taylor, Luke's broader plans after the formation of order would not have been possible.
None of this is given by the system. It was Luke who earned it on his own.
The system is only an auxiliary to Luke, and he cannot become Luke's master.
………………
One cold November afternoon, during lunch, Professor McGonagall hurried up to them in the auditorium. Many people looked at them.
"Luke, Porter, now the Warriors are going to go down there...... You have to be ready to complete the first project. ”
Harry couldn't help but take a deep breath as he got up. Luke, on the other hand, looked calm.
They left the auditorium with Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall also looked flustered. She was still relieved of Luke. But for Harry, she was genuinely anxious.
Professor McGonagall led him around the edge of the Forbidden Forest, towards where the dragon was. As they approached the bush where they could see the grounds, Harry found that a tent had been erected to block the dragons, and the entrance to the tent was facing them.
"You'll have to go in with the other warriors," Professor McGonagall said, her voice a little shaky, "waiting for your turn." Mr. Bagman was also in it...... He's going to tell you the steps...... Good luck. ”
With that, Harry took another deep breath, nodded heavily at Professor McGonagall, and stepped into the tent. Luke, on the other hand, looked at Professor McGonagall who was a little anxious, and said to Professor McGonagall with a smile, "Don't worry, Professor is here, and Harry won't have any problems." ”
Hearing this, Professor McGonagall looked at Luke and nodded, her face recognising some relief.
"Over to you, Luke."
Luke gestured to Professor McGonagall with an 'ok' gesture and slipped into the tent as well.
In the tent. Fleur sat on a low wooden stool in the corner. She was not at all as calm and composed, and her face was very pale and sickly. Victor Krum looked more gloomy than usual, clearly in a low mood.
Everyone knows the questions for the exam. But this question is difficult, and it is not easy to give an answer.
As for Harry, Bagman was pulling him along again. When Luke entered, Bagman's body paused visibly. It's like seeing some terrible guy.
"Ahem." He cleared his throat and said to the four warriors with a smile on his face, "Alright, now that everyone is here—it's time to brief you on!" When the audience is gathered, I will take turns to hand this bag to each of you," he held up a purple silk bag and shook it at them, "and pick out from it a small model of the thing you are going to face!" They have different – well-– kinds. I have one more thing to tell you...... Ah, right...... Your mission is to pick up golden eggs! ”
There was no surprise on the faces of all four. Ludo was obviously not surprised by this situation.
Under the principle of women first, Fleur drew the Welsh Green Dragon, which was the number two. Later, Krum drew the Chinese Fireball Dragon, a red fire dragon that is relatively small in size but not easy to deal with. He's number three. Harry stepped forward the third, praying in his heart that he would not draw the Hungarian Tree Wasp, but unfortunately, he did not do so, and he drew the Hungarian Tree Peak, his face was not good-looking. Things are still going in a bad direction after all, and he's still number one.
So......
Harry glanced at Luke, who already knew what Luke was going to pull out.
Luke reached out and pulled out the menacing dragon model with fangs and claws from the bag.
Norwegian spines are somewhat similar to the Hungarian tree bee, but have no spikes on its tail and a black ridge on its back. This fire dragon is very aggressive and is one of the rarest dragon species at present. Its long fangs are poisonous and feed on large land mammals. In addition, it also preys on creatures in the water, which is relatively rare among fire dragons.
It seemed to be easier than Harry's.
But Luke remembered an old man......
