Chapter 209: Picking Up the Golden Egg and Ludo's Boldness
What's a good idea for dealing with a fire dragon?
That's naturally to let the fire dragon release water!
Of course, John wouldn't be so cheap.
That would be disrespectful to Cedric.
But it's not difficult to make other people's dragons more difficult.
Cedric tells John that Harry tells him that his first project is a fire dragon, much to John's surprise.
"I thought I would eat alone, but I didn't expect the Savior to be a person who pursues justice."
At this point, John asked himself that it was not so noble.
Although Harry does not eat alone, John has not forgotten the Hogwarts professor's favoritism.
It was clear that Cedric was a warrior, but no one fought for him.
Hagrid was just a simple man, and Cedric wasn't his friend, so he didn't think about it, and the other professors didn't even leak the slightest rumor.
Even a vague mention of it would be fine.
Tomorrow is the first event of the Triwizard Tournament.
John and Cedric discuss a plan to deal with the dragon.
"It's impossible for the students to defeat the dragon, so it's just something to be taken away."
Analyzing the possible specific projects, John thought that Charlie said that they were all nest-hugging female dragons, and the dragons of this period were extremely sensitive to guarding dragon eggs, and he guessed that they should have snatched dragon eggs or something.
He said, "If you take something, you just need to make it impossible for the dragon to see it for a while, or to be led away. ”
Cedric nodded in agreement, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Maybe I can use Transfiguration to lure the dragon away." ”
"That's too time-consuming." John shook his head, "Take away the item, the key to victory or defeat is time, it takes too much time to attract the fire dragon away, it is better to let the fire dragon stop, or speed up itself." ”
"Maybe you can use the Fire Crossbow Bolt and use the Flying Charm to summon the past."
Cedric is a Seeker, and controlling the firebolts is not a problem, and John is happy to provide it.
But Cedric looked shocked and said, "Isn't that cheating, the first project can only rely on the wand in your hand." ”
Well, that makes sense.
In Cedric's opinion, there seemed to be no difference between summoning a firebolt from the sidelines and bringing it in directly.
After all, anyone can summon spells.
Versailles from Cedric, a top student.
At this point, Harry, who was about to stay up all night learning the Flying Curse, cried to death.
John gave Cedric a different way of thinking, so that the dragon could not move.
The Sleepy Charm is unreliable, and the fire dragon armor is thick, so it is best to limit movement.
Use the terrain to trap the dragon, then quickly move the item over with Transfiguration.
The two of them decided on a countermeasure and began to practice.
...
November 24th.
Today is the opening day of the first project.
Classes end in the morning and will be suspended from noon.
The cold weather makes people can't help but shake their bodies.
The Triwizard Tournament reopened after a century and has attracted the attention of many.
Barty Sr., as one of the referees, has a good performance at the previous Quidditch World Cup, which makes people pay more attention to him.
The former head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is still in good spirits, as if he can continue to work for a hundred years.
The site is set in the forbidden forest, which is convenient for the fire dragon to be able to fight in time after an accident.
John didn't go with Malfoy, but calmly accepted the ring that Tang Mi respectfully handed over.
Putting the ring on the ring finger of his left hand, John glanced at Kim Ledisley, who came with him, and chuckled, "You don't look like a student, but the internal Floo Network of the Silver Hand is convenient for you." ”
The Silverhand Floo network has been laid in all its stores and is interconnected, and the American branch is no exception.
"My studies are almost complete, and the school doesn't mind letting me come and see this legendary Triwizard Tournament."
Jin smiled brightly, he was wearing a white mask on his face, which was the same style as Tang Mi.
Tang Mi asked with some concern: "My lord, Moody's magic eye may see through your disguise. ”
"It's okay," John said confidently as he stroked his handsome face with his right hand, and a silver mask appeared that covered his entire face, "This mask exerts multiple spells that the magic eye cannot see." ”
Knowing that the MONOCULUS could see through the cloak of invisibility, John upgraded the mask overnight.
This mask was originally made of Mithril, and he cast multiple hidden spells on it, so it was not a problem to hide from the Magic Eye.
Seeing this, Tang Mi also suppressed his worries, this time the Silver Hand Johnny store attended as a sponsor, and their location was very good.
With a snap of his fingers, the wizard's robe turned into an emerald green canopy, enveloping John's whole person, exuding an aura of mystery on his body.
He stepped forward, followed by Tang Mi and Kim.
...
There was more excitement in the Forbidden Forest than before, which made the centaurs itch.
A young horseman and his parents argue about whether or not to see the dragon.
On the ground, the centaur tensed his body.
His bow and arrows were set up and aimed at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared.
"Lay down your weapons." The deep, hoarse voice made the centaur nervous, and his eyes were fixed on the three people who appeared.
Beneath the silver mask were the eyes of a predator.
The pony man doesn't argue anymore, and he cries out as he huddles in his mother's arms.
In the end, the centaur family couldn't bear the pressure and turned around and fled.
John: "...... Am I so terrible? ”
Isn't he just using deterrence and panic to create a mysterious temperament?
Kim grinned and said, "You are known as the second king of the wizarding world. ”
Okay, John pouted, restrained, and walked into the bustling dragon arena.
...
In the tent set up for the warriors, the faces of the four warriors were not very good.
Everyone already knows what to face a day in advance, but so what?
That's a fire dragon, a big guy that an adult wizard can't deal with.
Knowing in advance is just one more day of nervousness.
Fleur's face was pale, Krum looked even more gloomy, and Cedric paced back and forth, muttering words in passing.
Harry couldn't help but get nervous when he came in and saw this.
Only Bagman, who was dressed in an old Hornets outfit, was particularly happy.
He called the four warriors over, took out a cloth bag, and asked the four to take turns drawing lots.
It is also at this time that they know the specific task.
Pick up golden eggs.
Cedric secretly said that as John had guessed, it was indeed to seize something.
This increased his confidence, and the muscles in his face were less stiff, revealing a smile.
Fleur stepped forward first, and she drew the Welsh Green Dragon to play in the number two.
This was followed by Krum, who was the Chinese fireball, and the number three appeared.
Cedric and Harry looked at each other, but he reached into it first, and took out a silver-blue Swedish short-nosed dragon with a number hanging around its neck.
Harry's face turned pale, he was so unlucky, he was the fiercest Hungarian tree bee, and he appeared in number four.
"Mr. Diggory was the first to play, and when he heard the whistle, he walked into the field." Bagman said, glancing at Harry, "Harry, may I say a few words to you?" Coming outside? ”
Ludo Bagman's eyes revealed a philistine and a slippery head, and when Harry didn't know why, he even asked if he could help out or something.
The meaning of serious is clear.
Bagman: Harry, don't cheat if you want to, as long as you open Chrysostom, I'll help you cheat right away.
This made Harry stunned, and he stammered, "I...... No, you don't. ”
Bagman was about to say something, when a voice interjected into the conversation between the two.
"Ludo Bagman, maybe you forgot, you still owe a sum of money."
A low, hoarse voice, like ice in the collar of his coat, made Bagman's hairs stand on end, and his round baby face was terrified.
Harry heard the prestige, and the silver mask made him even more nervous when he thought of the World Cup.
Bagman squeezed an ugly smile, the corners of his eyes twitched, and said, "Your Excellency Johnny's Silver Hand, you have misunderstood. ”
"Misunderstanding?" A low laugh came from under the silver mask, making people feel like they were stepping on sand, "Quidditch World Cup, you opened a small gambling game behind my back, and you had to borrow money from me, I thought you would relent." ”
"Ludo, Ludo, what the hell have I done wrong to make you disrespect me so much."
The sound sounded like a death sentence, and Bagman's legs trembled.
He was no longer as relaxed and happy as he had just been, on the contrary, he hated why he had done so much.
The silver mask had already arrived in front of him, and Bagman could clearly see that under the mask, there was a cold chill in the eyes that did not look like a human being.
"Ludo, if you're going to take Garon from the Silver Hand by manipulating the game, you'll have a part to play by the flowers in the dirt of Tumbledown Alley."
Bagman couldn't hold back, and he repeatedly promised that he would be fair and impartial in the game.
Pulling Harry, he staggered into the tent.
Harry's face was not good, and his already nervous heart felt like it was about to pop out.
...
After warning Ludo Bagman, John entered his seat.
Some vague gazes fell on him, and he was unmoved.
"Ludo Bagman invested a large sum of Galleons in Harry Potter's victory, and he probably wants to pay off all his debts through the tournament. ”
John nodded noncommittally.
Bagman owes a lot of gambling debts in the World Cup, and if he doesn't find a way to recoup his capital, it is estimated that he will have to flee abroad.
He even had the idea of manipulating the Triwizard Tournament so that he could make a lot of money from the quiz.
It can only be said that this is a death.
At the first whistle, John sees Cedric playing.
His opponent, the Swedish short-nosed dragon, was looking fiercely at the comer.
Facing the fire dragon head-on, not being weak is already considered to have excellent psychological quality.
Cedric pulled out his wand and clenched it, plans flashing through his mind.
Forbidden in the forest, means that there are many materials that can be used.
He didn't step forward immediately, but pointed his wand and said loudly, "The house is collapsing."
The land at the foot of the Swedish short-nosed dragon is loose.
Seeing this, he continued to use the spell.
"The house is collapsing!"
...
Some people died, but not completely......
