Chapter 165: Game Development Foursome's Plan
"Now, do any students think that their Transfiguration can participate in this tournament?"
Professor McGonagall looked at the group of young wizards below and said.
Just now, she had already browsed through all the works of the little wizards, and had a preliminary judgment on everyone's mastery of transfiguration. But it's not just about your Transfiguration, it's also about your ability to play on the spot and a strong heart.
So, even though Professor McGonagall had a preliminary candidate in mind, she still hoped that the person she liked would raise her hand.
After listening to Professor McGonagall's question, the young wizards present turned their heads left and right, you look at me, I look at you, and the whole classroom fell into silence.
Some people want to participate in this five-year Wizarding World Student Exchange, but they also know that their mastery of Transfiguration is not high, and even if they raise their hands, they will not be selected by Professor McGonagall.
And this exchange meeting, in addition to the Transfiguration Championship, there are also Potions Championships, Dark Arts Defense Ability Championships, Herbal Knowledge Championships, and so on. They don't have to compete for this spot in an area they don't excel at.
Of course, most of the students who think this way are from Ravenclaw and Slytherin, and Hufflepuff students are discussing their respective family traditions during the Christmas season.
Only the Gryffindor students raised their hands after thinking about it, saying that they could represent the school in the Transfiguration Tournament. The Ravenclaw and Slytherin students saw that the Gryffindor students all raised their hands.
Some of the students who were confident in their Transfiguration also raised their hands.
There are only three slots, and smart people can think that aside from the Hufflepuff students, there is exactly one place for each of the three houses, and it would be a very shameful thing if they all had to be grabbed by the students of Gryffindor House.
But there were only three places in the lower grades, and Professor McGonagall gave the students another test question, asking them to turn the stone next to them into a rabbit in two minutes.
Turning dead things into living things, as explained earlier, requires advanced metamorphosis attainments, and it is difficult for beginners to complete such difficult metamorphosis.
Ten minutes later, Hermione Granger of Gryffindor, Lisa Dupin of Ravenclaw, and Pansy Parkinson of Slytherin were successfully selected by Professor McGonagall to be selected by Professor McGonagall to participate in the Wizarding World Student Exchange Transfiguration Tournament at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
As for the senior category, which is the real tournament, there are two players to be decided in addition to Arthur, a first-year student, but Professor McGonagall says that the candidate has already been decided.
Arthur guessed that the two were most likely seventh-graders.
Tonight's Transfiguration session ended after Professor McGonagall had instructed a few students who had made a mistake in the competition.
After a night of silence, the next afternoon, when Arthur came out of the astronomy classroom, the Wesley Twins and Cedric were already standing in the hallway waving to him.
After a few conversations, they walked towards the Bing Room on the seventh floor. After Myrtle's affair was revealed, Dumbledore sealed the door to the bathroom forever, leaving Arthur and his group without a secret base.
Originally, they planned to return to the previous secret passage, but Filch seemed to be possessed by 007 and actually found the secret passage, and the four of them had no choice but to find a new secret base.
Arthur happened to know the secret of the Room of Requirement, so he led them to this mysterious and universal secret room. The secret had not been told to the Wesley Twins and Cedric, and Arthur stated that he had forgotten.
It wasn't to blame Arthur for telling the secret of the Room of Requirement so late, after all, there had been so much going on lately, and he was too busy writing.
He even went to the Room of Requirement to get Voldemort's Horcrux, the Ravenclaw Crown, and he forgot about it.
(╮(╯▽╰)╭)
Ten minutes later, when the four of them were sure that no one was following them, they cautiously walked into the room of responsiveness.
What caught the eye was a room with only a round table and four chairs, and this humble room was Arthur's idea. The four of them met mainly for a meeting, and there was no need to transform the Room of Request into a beautifully decorated room.
"Arthur, I've made the Holy Grail here."
After the four of them sat down, Cedric spoke first.
"George and I also completed Valhalla and the summoning system." Then, Fred spoke.
"Well, good job!" Arthur nodded, a look of appreciation. Without the Wesley Twins and Cedric, he wouldn't have been able to make a Holy Grail War game in so much time.
"The Holy Grail War game has been made, but we haven't tested it yet. Arthur, what do you say next? ”
Cedric looked at the Holy Grail on the table, which he had made from Hufflepuff's Gold Cup. Looking at the mana liquid in the cup, he said with a frown.
"One more thing, we can't be sure of the strength of the summoned Servants. If it is too strong, it will not really cause a war. If it's too weak... That's even worse, there's no gaming experience at all. ”
The Wesley twins looked at each other, and it was finally his brother Fred who spoke up their problem.
"Well, let me think..."
When Arthur heard this, he pestled his chin with his hand and fell into deep thought. He originally thought that after the Holy Grail War Game was produced, he would find a goblin to work with the Goblins to mass-produce the Holy Grail War Array game, and then bundle it with "The Holy Grail War 2 of the Magician".
Now it seems that his original idea was too idealistic.
Even a game company in the Muggle world needs a lot of testing to make a game, and if they make a game with magical powers, if they don't control it well, it will have very serious consequences.
Watching Arthur fall into deep thought, Cedric and Wesley looked at each other, and finally at Arthur, silently waiting for him to speak.
Arthur wasn't involved in the game's making, but the game was based on him, and he knew more than the three of them.
"You know about next year's Wizarding World Student Exchange at Durmstrang College, right?"
After a long time, just as George was about to ask Arthur if he had any ideas, Arthur looked up and asked.
"You know, Professor Sprout also asked me to represent the school in the Herbal Knowledge Tournament..."
Cedric talked about his hand and said with a somewhat helpless expression.
As a Hufflepuff student, he, like other House students, wasn't very interested in these games. But the Hufflepuff head, Professor Sprout, had already spoken, and he had no reason to refuse.
"Cedric, what are you Versailles? Fred and I didn't get a chance to attend the meeting. You should consider our feelings! ”
George nudged Cedric's shoulder and said dissatisfied. Although his expression was a little unhappy, he was actually just teasing Cedric. Good friends can participate in this five-year exchange meeting, and they are sincerely happy for it.
"It's a pity, if only there was an alchemy tournament or a prank tournament."
Fred leaned back, clapped his arms on the seat, and looked up and sighed.
Truth be told, although he and George are known as the prank twins and the students who give the professor the most headaches, their grades are not bad at all, they just don't stand out.
"I learned here that there are still a lot of professors who have not confirmed their quotas. George and Fred, you can try the Potions Tournament and the Defence Against the Dark Arts Championship. ”
Arthur looked at Wesley and smiled. Because of the relationship between making the Holy Grail War game together, he now knows the two very well. The two of them made those prank props, but they used a lot of magic and alchemy knowledge.
Potions is actually a branch of alchemy, and as long as the Wesley Twins make up for their Potions knowledge within a month, the chances of getting a place are still very high.
The Defence Against the Dark Arts tournament requires students to master and master a large number of spells, and with Wesley's twin minds, they can learn so many prank-related spells before, and it is also very easy to quickly master the spells learned in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class.
"Can we really?" When Wesley heard this, his face was a little unconfident, but he still showed a look of expectation.
"Of course. Also, I've already participated in the Potions Tournament. Professor Snape was very informative to me, and when he was talking to me that day, he said that he could fill in as many places as he had left. As you know, Professor Snape is too busy to dedicate a selection contest to it. As long as you do well in Potions classes in the future, I can guarantee that you two will be fine. ”
Arthur said confidently, in fact, Professor Snape had put him in charge of selecting five more players in addition to having Arthur participate in the Potions Tournament that day.
But this insider is not the right time to tell Wes to the twins, if they say it now, what if they learn hard as soon as they hear that Arthur can confirm a place in the Potions Tournament?
Although Arthur hopes that they can participate in this student exchange meeting, it does not mean that he hopes that the two will make a fool of themselves at the exchange meeting. The results of the competition can be average, but not the bottom.
After all, every contestant who goes to the student exchange meeting represents his school. His performance is an honor for the school.
"Anyway... Arthur, why are you talking about this? ”
Cedric asked suspiciously, their meeting this time was mainly to discuss how to solve the problem of the Holy Grail War game test, why did Arthur suddenly talk about the Wizarding World student exchange meeting?
"Arthur? Do you think! ”
"No, it won't! If that's the case, it must be a pretty cool prank! ”
Compared to Cedric, the Wesley Twins' minds turned quickly, and after hearing Cedric's question, they immediately guessed what Arthur wanted to do.
"After all, it is a very dangerous behavior to do this kind of uncertain thing in your own school, and if you don't do it well, it will kill people. Hogwarts had already experienced several difficulties during this time, and the professors were so nervous that they would not allow us to take a test in school.
But what if it's in another school? Especially when the students of the eight schools are together, you think about these students from different regions, no one is convinced, and they will be more or less hostile to the students of other schools.
When the time comes, we'll have them participate in the Holy Grail War game, and they'll be more than happy to settle the battle in the game. It's a fair combat game, and it's much more fun than a duel match. ”
Seeing that the Wesley Twins had already guessed his purpose, Arthur stopped being a riddler and nodded his head to explain his reasons.
"That's crazy, isn't it? Arthur, the organizer of next year's Wizarding World Student Exchange, Durmstrang College, who have always been mysterious, would agree to our Holy Grail War Games appearing at the exchange? ”
After listening to Arthur's explanation, Cedric's eyes lit up and he cast a look of adoration at Arthur, but soon he thought of a very serious problem.
What if the organizers at Durmstrang College don't agree to their Holy Grail War game at the exchange?
The Norse wizards, in Cedric's impression, were very stubborn creatures, and it was difficult to communicate with them normally.
"yes, how can this problem be solved?" Fred asked.
"Don't worry about this, I'm free to do it."
Arthur smiled and continued to be the Riddler.
It's not that he doesn't want to reveal his thoughts to them, it's that this matter needs to be agreed with Grindelwald. The Wesley Twins and Cedric already knew a lot of Voldemort's secrets from Arthur. Even if they have learned Occlumency, they have already stepped on the danger line.
Because of this, Arthur didn't want them to have anything to do with another Dark Lord.
"Holy Grail War game, it's working properly now, right?"
"This has been tested, whether it is the Servant Summoning Ceremony, the Servant and the Master's Contract, or the Holy Grail System, there is no problem."
Cedric nodded in response to Arthur's question.
"We have also prepared the relics of the summoning servants and the seven-class summoning array." George added.
As die-hard fans of The Holy Grail Wars of the Magian, George and Fred strictly adhered to the premise when making Valhalla and signing a contract with the ghost.
Every ghost illusion that enters Valhalla has a corresponding relic and a summoning array of seven classes.
A Ghost Phantom will summon an Archer Ghost Fantasy if it summons a circle with an archer. Using the Wizard Summoning Array, the ghost will be summoned again as a Magician.
"Very well, then I'll be relieved. By the way, since it has been decided to start our playtest at the Wizarding World Student Exchange in a month's time. Then there will be students from different regions participating. The ghost fantasies in Valhalla today are basically the resident ghosts of Hogwarts Castle. ”
"It's too territorial, and we should look for ghosts living in other countries. Isn't the death of Baro the Bloody held in half a month, when ghosts from all over the world will come to attend his death party, and then we will find some famous local ghosts and strive to reach a cooperation with them. ”
Arthur thought for a moment and added.
"That's a good idea! Arthur, you're more than we thought! George and Fred's eyes lit up and they said happily.
