"Cedric is the first!" Harry said in surprise.

"He's unlucky!" Ron said sympathetically.

"He's a Hogwarts warrior anyway! We should cheer him on! On the side, Luna, wearing a lion's head hat, waved her hand enthusiastically.

Immediately afterward, the Hufflepuff wizards around him became even more enthusiastic.

Many even pulled out their wands and set off fireworks towards the sky.

"Cedric! Come on!! ”

"For Hufflepuff!"

"For Hufflepuff !!"

The hustle and bustle moved the spirit of a certain old Hufflepuff on the rostrum, and a warm gaze spread in his sincere eyes.

"Look, Cedric, what is he going to do?"

The crowd's exclamation drew the attention of the young wizards to Cedric's right hand holding his wand.

He held his wand and plunged it into the soft surface.

"Hurry up!"

He shouted.

Perhaps because of the nervousness, the voice was a little distorted.

Then he shouted again: "Hurry up!" ”

It wasn't clear what he was going to do, but the earth soon gave them an answer.

I saw that in the field, not far from Cedric, a bulge suddenly grew in the ground, and then the bulge moved quickly, and soon came to his feet.

In the puzzled eyes of the little wizards in the stands, the bulge broke, and a green vine grew out of it.

At the tip of the vine grew a large flower, the size of a Quaffle.

Then the flower opened abruptly, revealing its stamens and a cloth bag growing in the bud.

The bag in the bud - it's amazing to look at.

No one had ever seen such a unique summoning spell.

And the moment he saw the cloth bag, Cedric's tense face finally relaxed.

"It's incredible." In the stands where the Hufflepuffs gathered, the flag representing their badger house danced in the wind, and everyone waved it with all their might, and some even pulled banners.

Ernie was also deeply affected by the fiery atmosphere.

Cedric looked at the venue in surprise, "I never knew there was such a magical plant. ”

"I haven't seen it either." Next to him was Justin, who had a badger house sticker on his face, and he really thought of it as the World Cup, and when he was in the previous Quidditch World Cup, he used oil paint to paint half of his face with the Irish flag, and the other side was the British flag.

After the game – when Irving bumped into him, not to mention how embarrassed he looked.

Harry and Hermione, the little wizards living in the Muggle world, also showed embarrassed expressions, but Justin, who was also a Muggle-born, did just that.

Even the French know that Britain and Ireland are not dealing with each other, what does he think.

Later, Miss Granger couldn't stand it, so she replaced the graffiti of his other half with the flag of Northern Ireland, at least that's—uh—Great Britain, you know, always makes sense.

"It should be Professor Sprout's advice to him." Hannah said with a frown.

Hearing the sound, Justin's eyelids on the side jumped slightly.

Look, it's just Hannah, it's high emotional intelligence.

High Emotional Intelligence – Professor Sprout's Advice.

Low EQ – Professor Sprout's cheats for cheating.

Even he, a little Hufflepuff wizard, didn't believe that Cedric could find any powerful magical plants in such a short period of time, and that his herbology could only be described as excellent.

Compared to ordinary little wizards, he can get an O in the final exam of this course.

But compared to a certain person surnamed Sanchez, who has already begun to cultivate new magical plants based on herbal traits, Cedric's excellence in herbalism is somewhat insignificant.

Of course – it's a game, and whatever he does, it's good to win.

Justin didn't care what Cedric was doing.

His gaze returned to the field.

I saw that Cedric, who had got the cloth bag, quickly poked his hand in. Then he pulled out a very verdant plant that looked like a pine leaf, held it in his left hand, and blew into his palm.

Then the leaf grew suddenly, and in an instant it was three or four feet long.

He plucked a leaf and put it in his mouth.

With a force on his legs and feet, he jumped violently.

Then a miraculous scene occurred, he jumped fifty or sixty feet high (more than fifteen meters. ）

"Oh my God! How did he jump so high? The little wizards were amazed.

And the professors couldn't see why.

Aside from Senior Newt and Owen, no one knew what Cedric was eating.

"! It's cheating! Owen was patrolling at the edge of the field, and when he saw the herbs in Cedric's hand, he immediately said angrily, "I'm Professor Sprout's favorite boy!" Why didn't she give me one!! ”

He knew that thing.

Cedric ate a magical plant called 'Palm Mustard'.

It does not rely on sunlight and rain to grow, only by breathing air, and can grow in the palm of your hand. Hence the name "mustard in the palm of your hand", which also represents its unique way of growing.

Its leaves have magical powers, and when held in the mouth, they can rise five or six feet (more than fifteen meters) above the ground with a single leap.

If you have its seeds, then you just have to put them in your hand, and with a single breath, a new palm mustard plant will immediately grow from the grass seeds, almost a foot high, and with another breath, it will grow another foot taller.

If the grass seed is not blown up in the palm of the hand, it will not grow any longer.

After growing in the palm of your hand, you can transplant it to the ground.

It is the 'mustard in the palm' that survives on the soil that becomes a true creepy grass, and the blades of grass mature from the root to the tip, and the color varies greatly from time to time. The mature leaves are dark green, while the topmost immature leaves are light red.

Therefore, people can easily tell which leaves are ripe by color, and only then do mustard-like grains grow between the mature leaves.

Although it grows quickly, the leaves take decades apart to mature, and there will be no new mature leaves until the leaves fall.

The grains between the mature leaves need to be swallowed within 10 seconds of picking, so that they can float in the air without the help of any objects and walk freely.

This is an extremely rare herb.

It is the most important raw material for the manufacture of flying potions.

Due to the low yield, no one will eat the leaves of the mustard in the palm of their hands because it would be too wasteful.

Professor Sprout seems to be genuinely hoping for Hufflepuff to win the title.

Herbs like this, without cultivation, that is, for a short period of time, make people have super jumps, and the gains outweigh the losses, she really made a lot of money!

And most importantly, the International Federation of Wizards and the Department of Sports and Sports of the Ministry of Magic have clear regulations on the various drugs used in the competition sports.

There are hundreds of elixirs, potions that replenish mana and energy, potions that increase speed, strength, and reflexes, as well as potions that are not suitable for use in matches and can easily disrupt balance.

But Professor Sprout's trick is that what she makes Cedric eat is directly the raw material!

Raw materials are not on the prohibited list!

This hand is really high! Tall! It's all made her tall!

And Owen is angry that the ancient puppets are hidden under the ground of the outer circle, and only when the little wizard approaches, will they suddenly pop out to surprise them.

This was a deliberate change he had made and had consulted with the professors.

Now Cedric is fifty or sixty feet in a leap, and it's likely that he won't be able to touch one at all to reach the inner circle.

Sure enough—as Owen expected.

Cedric's pace of progress was unimpeded.

He jumped back and forth in the field as if he was stepping on a trampoline with the soles of his feet, and deliberately looked for some stones to settle on, the main thing was to resolutely not fall to the ground.

This made Owen seriously wonder if he had already known the layout of the venue in advance.

Although tournament cheating is traditional!

But you're so blatant!!

"Look, our warriors are in the inner circle!"

The change came so quickly that the little wizard had not yet recovered from what Cedric had eaten, and he had already rushed into the inner circle.

Bagman shouted excitedly, "A miracle plant, Mr. Scamander told us that our warriors have taken a miracle plant.

Oh, my God! No one has ever done this before, and I'm not sure if it's a violation, but I have to say that he might be going to break the record for a tournament! ”

As Cedric leaped into the inner circle, behind the stone walls, he saw a small pyramid in the distance with a golden egg glittering with golden light.

His eyes were fiery.

It's just that reason tells him not to rush in.

Sure enough, he soon found a small beast sleeping on its stomach behind the golden egg in the pyramid.

It looked too small, only half the size of a golden egg.

So much so that Cedric did not find him in the first place.

"That's—" He recognized the little beast at a glance.

"Bakar?"

Not all wizards in the castle knew that Owen had a dragon.

Everyone knows that he has a cat.

Because that Australian protein eye was cared for by Hagrid most of the time, and then raised in the Forbidden Forest.

Sometimes you don't see each other once a month.

According to Justin, the only one who could find the dragon was the cat, but the cat never took the initiative to find the dragon because it felt that the fire dragon would affect its status.

Yes, you heard it right, a cat will feel that a dragon affects its place in the hearts of its owner.

It's magical.

Shaking his head, Cedric cleared all the messy thoughts out of his head.

Now is not the time to think about that.

In the distance, the Australian albumen-eyed dragon, about half the size of a little wizard's head, shimmered with pearl-like scales, showing a rainbow-colored brilliance.

He was a little hesitant, if it was the Gryffindor group of reckless people, when they saw a dragon of that size, they would have rushed forward excitedly.

But he wouldn't, because Luna had spoken to them about Owen's Australian protein-eyed dragon with all sorts of strange abilities.

It would suddenly grow larger, and then spit out golden flames with a power that would be close to some black magic.

"What's wrong with him?" In the stands, some unknown little wizards showed puzzled expressions.

"I guess it's stupid to eat herbs." A Slytherin said.

"It's such a big dragon, oh my God! It's really not difficult at all, and I think my first-year cousin can pass it casually. ”

"There may be traps, that dragon is a trick, there must be a bigger dragon hiding on the side."

In the stands, the little wizards expressed their opinions, some worried, some dissatisfied, and some directly scolded, thinking that Cedric was disgrace to Hogwarts.

Little by little, time passed.

Cedric, holding his wand, circled around the inner wall, using the Prototype Manifestation Charm over and over again, trying to find the traps hidden in the arena.

But his mouth was dry when he was reciting the mantra, but there were stones all around him.

There are simply no traps to do.

"It can't go on like this." Cedric looked at the mustard in his hand, and there were only three or four leaves left. (There is also a sprout)

He had already eaten three slices.

This amazing plant, though powerful, has only a few minutes of efficacy.

It won't do him any better if the stalemate continues!

"It seems that there is only one wave. One can only hope that what Luna said is false. "The Mad Girl's words have a low level of trust among young wizards, so it's no wonder Cedric thinks so.

Determined, Cedric plucked a leaf again and swallowed it.

Then, holding his wand tightly, he took a leap into the inner circle.

"That's not right!"

The moment he stepped into the inner rock wall, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

The sleeping Bakar suddenly opened his eyes.

"Roar!"

It roared loudly at Cedric.

Then, as if drunk, a jeweled paw slapped on the golden egg, and the two dangling wings flashed listlessly.

I didn't see how cruel it was, but it was more cute.

"Wow! It's so cute. ”

In the stands, the little wizards looked handsome in front of their eyes.

This is simply the most perfect cute pet!

In the crowd, only Luna, wearing a lion's hood, frowned. She was the only one present who had seen the true face of the Tyrannosaurus King.

It may be that the doting eyes around him make Bakar very unhappy.

None of its owners have seen themselves that way.

You little guys.

Then, for a moment, the sky seemed to be a little darker.

Then there was an earth-shattering roar.

Flame, is flame.

Boundless flames flowed from around the golden egg.

The high temperature directly turns the stone pyramid under your feet into lava.

"Ahh

It was the sound of snow melting.

In the field, snow rises and becomes mist.

Gradually, the surrounding area was full of fog, and there seemed to be colorful light scattered in the fog, and before Cedric could wave his wand to dispel the fog, the hurricane that was born out of nowhere completely stirred up the smoke in the field.

The sound of the storm and clouds touching the stones was like the sound of war drums.

With some kind of rhythm. It's the sound of dragon's wings!

"Click! Rumble!!! ”

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the sky.

The red light in the sky obscures the sky.

The clouds were shattered in an instant.

Cedric woke up suddenly, he silently raised his wand and roared, "Ultimate defense! ”

He didn't know what was going on. But the strangeness in front of him forced him to immediately hold up his wand.

"Armor Protection!"

The dust cleared, and his pupils constricted.

High in the sky, a dragon with a wingspan of forty or fifty feet snorted at him.

It was covered in red lightning, and the red light in the mist was like flowing water, and the 'crackling' of lightning converged on the dragon's front paws the size of a car.

Thunder and lightning danced, compressed, condensed.

Although it seems like a long time.

But in fact, it was just an instant, almost the next second, and Cedric's eyes were filled with pupils by a knife condensed by lightning!

"Oh my God!!"

"Merlin's beard!"

"Oh God!"

The smoke and dust dispersed, and the shocking body of the diamond dragon was like an eternal god.

The dragon - can use magic?

This- how is this possible!

"Get out of the !!"

My heart is full of shock! The little wizards shouted.

But their voices, how can there be lightning fast.

In an instant, the dragon swung the electric knife, and Cedric was directly knocked out like a cannonball.

The walls of the inner ring were also torn to shreds.

It was as if it had been smoothed out by some force.

"No !!"

In the stands, the little wizards all skimmed their heads or covered their eyes.

No one dared to look at the terrible marks of the scene covered with scars.

I didn't dare to look at the figure of Cedric in the dust.

Because they were afraid, they were afraid that they would die in the first game.

The professors on the side also had their eyelids jumping, especially Professor Flitwick.

Almost immediately, he ran to Owen's side.

"How is he, Cedric is fine!"

"It's fine." Owen and the other professors wandered back and forth at the very edge of the outer circle, keeping an eye out for changes in the room.

"Bakar left his hand, most of it was special effects just now, you know the professor!"

"Special effects?" The corners of Professor Flitwick's mouth twitched, and he looked at the ravines left by the lightning all over the ground, and on the ground, a tree pattern characteristic of lightning was inscribed.

Is this also called keeping your hands?

What would it be like if you didn't keep your hands?

Professor Flitwick turned his head to watch worriedly, trying to see Cedric through the layers of smoke.

And it seems to be to corroborate Owen's claim.

Suddenly, a vague staggering figure appeared in the dust and debris.

"Oh! Oh my God, our warriors are still alive! That's great news! Bagman shouted in relief, his back soaking wet.

This contest is terrifying!

Cedric, who was swaying, clutched his right arm with a hideous expression.

It seems that his right arm should have been dislocated.

Luckily, he always held the wand in his palm.

But he didn't wait for him to catch his breath.

The ground around him suddenly cracked.

Next, in his pupils, a sword more than ten feet long struck straight at him.

The ancient sword is engraved with a variety of ancient runi characters, and there is a huge blue gem in the sword.

At this moment, the sapphire was emitting a ghostly light, as if it was spitting out something.

In the next second, the sword flew faster.

"Shet!"

Even the mild-mannered Cedric burst out at this time.

Holding his right hand, he lunged to the right.

The sword brushed shoulders with him.
