After leaving the tent first, Fleur looked curiously at the golden egg in her hand as she walked, and turned it up and down, carefully feeling its material:

"This golden egg is said to be a golden egg, and it looks like it is most likely made of brass. And it has to be hollow, otherwise it can't be so light. ”

"That's for sure," Hallie said with a smile, mocking in her voice,

"Do you think the poor ghosts at the British Ministry of Magic are willing to use pure gold to build tournament props?"

"Hmm...... Indeed," Fleur agreed with a serious face,

"Your Ministry of Magic is indeed poor, not even as rich as Beauxbatons. They are reluctant to even coat the skin of the golden eggs with a layer of gold leaf. ”

"I have no problem saying that the British Ministry of Magic is poor, but don't say that you can't compare to Beauxbatons. Who made you have alumni like Nicol? ”

Hallie rolled her eyes and sneaked up on Fleur's side,

"You and Nicol can reach the level of the richest man in the world on average, isn't it normal for him to donate some gold to Beauxbatons and crush the British Ministry of Magic?"

Fleur smiled and didn't say anything more.

Hermione had been waiting outside the tent for a long time, arms crossed.

Gabrielle had been taken back to the carriage by Madame Maxim ahead of time, so she was now on her own, and it was a bit boring.

After meeting up with Harley and Fleur, Hermione curiously asks for information about the second project.

"So, if you consider it according to the weight and material of the golden egg......"

After hearing the news, Hermione rubbed the back of her hand and thought carefully,

"Could it be that the clue to the second item in the golden egg is a piece of parchment with a puzzle written on it?"

"No, it's possible that there was a recording of the clue in it. But it doesn't matter, you can find out when you open the golden egg. ”

In other words, the difficulty in obtaining information about the second project core is most likely the puzzle that exists in the golden egg...... Puzzle ......"

"Rearrange and combine common magical meanings to provide information in a suggestive way?"

"Or do you use arithmetic divination numbers combined with specific charts to convey messages?"

Harley glanced at the golden egg in her arms, and the light in her eyes flickered slightly.

"I don't think you're right, Hermione." After carefully observing the golden egg, Harley couldn't help but sigh,

"It's a bit of a blow to you, but you're guessing the wrong direction at the core."

"I have to say, those purebloods from the Ministry of Magic have a rare brainstorm."

"The core difficulty of obtaining clues is not just to solve the puzzle contained in the golden egg."

"These golden eggs have only a simple ...... applied on them, except for spells that increase the difficulty of the first event, such as the Anti-Flying Charm."

Listening to Hallie's words, Fleur and Hermione's reactions were not violent at all, and they could even be said to be unsurprised.

But when Harley was about to say the correct answer, their faces changed instantly.

Fleur leaned over and grabbed Harley's hands and restrained her behind her to prevent her from resisting.

Hermione, on her tiptoes, covered Hallie's mouth with both hands, forbidding her to finish the rest of her sentence.

"Hallie, don't say it!" Fleur and Hermione tried to look fierce and said,

"We know this puzzle won't be challenging for you, but don't tell us the right answer right now!"

"Don't stop us from having fun solving puzzles through our own efforts!"

And Hermione was still there threatening that if Harley didn't nod her head in agreement, she and Fleur would never let her go.

But the two soon regretted it, because their means of restraining Harley seemed so powerless.

Harley also didn't use the Assassin's extraordinary physical qualities.

She just used some of the techniques honed in Beckland into Hermione's palm, restoring the "good *skill* of Kyochu".

Hermione's face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly took her hand back, while constantly rubbing her palms to relieve the strange touch of itching and numbness.

And Fleur was also gently leaned back by Harley, and the side waist exerted force, directly opposing the guest.

The three of them kept laughing and laughing, and walked towards the castle.

On the way back to the castle somewhere, Harley glanced at a large tree on the edge of the Forbidden Forest nearby.

On the tree, a beetle was lying there, its eyes full of respect.

…………

After a while, shortly after Principal Michiman Kamo had also passed this necessary path, three warriors who had fallen behind came over.

Along the way, the three of them also talked to each other, obviously a little defensive against each other, but they wanted to get some valuable information through communication.

As he passed through the path at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, a small sound suddenly came to mind in the Forbidden Forest.

The three warriors stopped at the same time and looked at it curiously, and Catherine also subconsciously held the wand in her pocket.

After all, she has been attending classes at Hogwarts during this time, and she has also communicated with many students.

She learns from the students' casual chats that this so-called "Forbidden Forest" is very dangerous and contains many ferocious magical animals.

However, what emerged from the Forbidden Forest was not a flood beast, but a middle-aged witch wearing a bright green robe, gold-rimmed glasses, and a crocodile hand belt on her arm.

Of course, in a way, she may be more dangerous than the Flood Beast, but unfortunately the three warriors in front of her don't know.

They were just amused by the witch's big, curly hair and strange outfit that had been deliberately made weird.

Rita held the special dark green quill and notebook, and smiled greasy:

"Wait, several. I'm a reporter for the British Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter. Can I ask you a few questions? ”

The warriors also remembered that the reporter in front of them had appeared in the previous part of the wand inspection, and had also conducted a brief interview.

However, it seems that the interviews were mainly Harry Potter from Hogwarts and Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons.

In the later period, the newspaper also praised the two as the protagonists at length.

Thinking of this, Krum frowned and quietly took a step back.

He had always hated this kind of interview that catered to him, and he hated the wizards who constantly flattered him.

Even when the Bulgarian national Quidditch team was playing, he only gave official interviews.

Rita noticed Krum's small movements, but ignored him.

In normal times, Rita will definitely take the initiative to catch up and dig deep into this big star.

After all, this kind of internationally renowned Quidditch star has enough traffic to attract enough attention.

As for the other two brave men, even if they are written, who will read them?

But today, Rita came on a mission.

Krum isn't even a side dish, at best a pre-meal mouthwash.

The two lesser-known warriors in front of him are his real targets.

Thankfully, Rita was probably the last time she interviewed and touted Harley and Fleur worked.

The two warriors from Ilvermorny and Castrobusche were apparently unaware of their reputations, so they happily won and waited for an interview.

Rita likes this kind of big injustice the most, and she can dig up enough revelations in an interview.

Especially when the two of them cooperate so much, they can also let her successfully complete the task, which is simply a double liking.

Rita cleared her throat and asked the first question:

"First of all, I would like to congratulate the two warriors on successfully completing the first event of the Final Six Tournament."

"Then the first question I wanted to interview was, how difficult did you think of today's competition? How do you rate your performance? ”

"Also, how do you feel when you face the dragon? How does it feel to walk out of the venue now? ”

The two warriors looked at each other, and Catherine took the initiative to answer the question.

The three of them were seriously conducting interviews and conversations, and they seemed very normal.

And after asking a few questions, Rita squinted slightly and asked the question she had carefully prepared:

"Then there's one more question that I want to get you both to answer."

"I obviously noticed that in the competition, there is always a very big difference between the scores of one or two principals and the other principals."

"So, do you think the judges are unfair in terms of scoring? What do you think of this? ”

Catherine and Miguel, who had been completely relieved of their vigilance by the previous questions, did not think much about it at all, and directly said what they really thought in their hearts.

Rita nodded incessantly, glancing at the quill and notebook next to her, who were recording the conversation by herself, and smiled with satisfaction.

…………

Harley didn't know what happened to Rita's mission, but she didn't care.

On the way back to the castle, Harley also wanted to stop by Hagrid's hut.

However, this plan was quickly scrapped, as Hagrid seemed to have premeditated himself and was standing outside his hut inviting Lady Maxim to admire the whelk.

At this time, he still carried a large pile of uneaten walnuts, nuts and roasted pumpkin slices in his hands.

According to Hermione, Hagrid had cooked many of the snacks herself, and it seemed that she was going to share them with Miss Maxime.

But who knew that Ms. Maxim ran to the referee's bench and sat down, so these snacks were basically cheaper for herself and Gabrielle.

Although he didn't make it while watching the game, now that the first event was over, Hagrid felt that his chance had come again.

Hallie says it's hard to comment on this ultimate dog-licking behavior.

After all, the Ageless Witch is the ultimate fishing master, and even in the vast seas of Beckland, Trier, and even the Five Seas, she never has an air force.

When licking a dog or something, except for the special case of Q fun, Harley has never played this kind of role.

For a person like Hagrid, who has to throw five pounds of food into a nest, and can't wait to take out his heart directly, and still doesn't listen to the advice of his friends, Harley can only wish him good luck.

Seeing that her principal was still chatting with others, Fleur didn't bother.

The three agreed to gather in the Room of Request the next day to begin preparations for the second event.

That night, Gryffindor held a very large celebratory banquet, even bigger than the last time Halle had chosen a warrior.

George and Fred raised a large sum of gold Galleons from the Gryffindors, all of which were donated to Duke Honey's Candy Store and the Hog's Head Bar through the Secret Passage.

Although the butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks Bar is cheap, the Pig's Head Bar is very strong!

And Hog's Head Bar also offers flaming whiskey and iced champagne, which no other bar can offer.

Fred and George also encouraged to fight with Hallie, but they really couldn't get enough of it, and they got drunk after just two drinks.

Harley, on the other hand, drank glass after glass in full view of everyone, and performed the difficult operation of drinking a bottle of flaming whiskey and immediately serving a bottle of cold champagne.

You know, it was the same wizard who designed these two kinds of wine, so he deliberately made a small easter egg when designing -

If you drink both types of wine at the same time, the different temperature sensations attached to the two wines will not cancel each other out, but will become more intense.

At this time, the wizard who drank both kinds of wine at the same time could enjoy the incomparably fierce ice and fire in his stomach.

The designer had originally designed this drink for the old drunks who had been hanging out in bars all year round, and ordinary adult wizards would not dare to try it.

And the seventh-graders in the Gryffindor common room basically only choose one type of wine, and after choosing the flame whiskey, they don't dare to look at the cold champagne.

As a result, when Hallie drank two bottles of wine in quick succession, the Gryffindor common room suddenly burst into even louder cheers.

In addition to celebrating Harley's huge score difference in the first event, the young wizards are also curious about the golden eggs.

But when Hallie opened the golden egg with a wicked smile, everyone covered their ears.

There was a piercing scream from the golden egg, as if someone was scratching the blackboard with their fingernails.

After only one listen, the Gryffindor cubs were no longer willing to take a step closer to the golden egg.

However, Hermione was holding the golden egg with a thoughtful expression.

If she remembered correctly, the music played by the ghost bands who had come from all over the country at Sir Nicholas's death dinner, which she had attended.

Hermione suddenly wondered if the music had a special meaning.

But now the Gryffindor common room was still celebrating, and Nick, who was almost headless, was also celebrating with the young wizards.

So Hermione put the idea on hold for now, planning to ask again tomorrow morning.

Hallie listened to Hermione's conjecture and shook her head.

Forget it, Hermione won't participate in the Final Six anyway, so it's up to her to guess.

Harley could see at a glance that the only magic on the Golden Egg that could be related to the second event was a medium magic-

This leads to the need for a medium to understand the true meaning of the sounds in the golden egg.

This kind of alchemy was in the class that Nicol asked Professor Barburing to give to Harry, and it was much more advanced than the alchemy that the Ministry of Magic had applied to the golden egg.

So if Harley wanted to, she could have changed this magical violence directly, turning the medium into air.

But...... Anyway, she could see at a glance that the medium should be water, and the sound stored in the golden egg was the song of a mermaid living in the cold waters of a freshwater lake.

Water is so easy to find, why bother to change the magic on it?
