Chapter 71: The First Project (Plus!) )
The Warriors who participated in the tournament quietly followed Professor McGonagall's side.
The road to the arena seemed to be extraordinarily long, no one spoke, everyone walked in silence, just kept exchanging glances with their teammates.
Zhang Xiao didn't know if Malfoy had found a way to deal with the fire dragon, but it didn't matter at this time.
In fact, even if you ask yourself, there is no good way to help them, not everything has a shortcut, the best way to face the fire dragon is to be stronger than it, and use its irresistible strength to fight it.
As Charlie and the others have always done, the best way to do this is a single salvo of spells from many people on the fire dragon.
The drowsy heads were cleared by the moist and cold air of the morning, and they walked a long way along the edge of the Forbidden Forest on the dewy lawn.
When they approached the bush where they could have seen the site, Zhang Xiao found that a tent had been erected there, which seemed to be an entrance to the valley, and it was the same place he was looking at that day.
Behind the tent was still a dense white mist, which seemed to have life, only wafting back and forth between the woods and valleys, and would never go beyond half a step, focusing on a spirituality.
"Alright, Professor Dumbledore is waiting for you inside - he'll explain the rules and regulations of the first project."
Professor McGonagall paused, looking over the square lenses to look at the Warriors, and she paused, looking at the Hogwarts Warriors, though only briefly.
But Harry and the others noticed the encouragement and concern in Professor McGonagall's eyes.
"Alright." Professor McGonagall nodded, "Good luck. ”
The tent is very simple, but there is a lot of space, and there is a circle of seats in it according to the school.
Dumbledore sat in the middle of the chair, his legs crossed, waiting leisurely, the pointed-toe shoe with the brass buckle little by little.
Seeing the little wizards walk in, he stood up with a smile and opened his hands:
"Welcome—welcome to the first project, I have a few words to say to you before we begin."
Harry watched Dumbledore's mouth open and close, but his voice seemed too far away to hear anything clearly, and he turned his head with difficulty to look at his teammates, trying to see if there was something wrong with his ears.
Hmm - if you have a problem with your ear, can you suspend the competition?
Such a strange thought suddenly welled up in his heart.
But when he saw that Malfoy's eyes were straight like a robot, and Ron's mouth was even more open, and there was not a trace of blood on his face, Harry knew that he was thinking too much.
It's just too nervous.
Fortunately, Dumbledore seemed to be prepared, he waved his hand, and the little wizards suddenly felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a lot, and they couldn't help but feel excited and hugged their arms.
Looking at the little wizard who came to his senses below, Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction:
"I think this should give you a little bit of a clear up, and it would be a shame if you missed the rules."
He cleared his throat, smiled and raised his hand:
"It's a very simple game, it's complicated, and of course, it's complicated for the sixth person of each team, they have to make suggestions or make a strategy in the face of a complex game situation.
In order to make communication smoother, we provide special communication tools, first of all, please wear these things and test whether they function properly. ”
Dumbledore waved his hand, and six silver-white objects appeared in front of each team's small table, which looked a little strange.
Zhang Xiao stretched out his head curiously to look over, because he was alone and didn't need these things at all.
Well. Anyway, this thing is very similar to the headset used by ordinary people, the difference is that it looks weird, and there is not a microphone sticking out of the mouth, instead of a thing hanging on the ear.
The warriors curiously hung up their things under Dumbledore's instructions.
"Have you brought it all?" Dumbledore raised his wand and tapped it in his ear, "All it needs to be this way!" ”
Harry tapped his wand curiously, and then couldn't help but laugh, because he remembered that Mr. Weasley had told him that if a wizard wanted to use anything, his first instinct must be to use his wand first.
"Is that all right?"
Cedric's curious voice suddenly sounded in his ears, followed by the voices of the other team members in the headset.
Even though there were shouts of surprise everywhere in the tent, the sound in the headset was still very clear.
Zhang Xiao smacked her lips, no, this kind of good thing will ask Lao Deng for some later, he is also a warrior, and he refuses to treat it differently!
Finally waiting for the young wizards to finish the test, Dumbledore continued:
"The way the game is played is very simple, the venue is divided into three parts – first, second, third.
The personnel of each section are free to choose, and once the game starts, they can only go from the higher part to the lower part, for example, the second part can only go to the first part, and the third part can only go to the second or first part.
Unless your party has already obtained the key, the person who has the key at this time can go to the other sections. As for what the key is—"
The warriors listened attentively, and the free men of each team took out their notebooks and began to take notes, Hermione's eyes were fixed on Dumbledore, for fear that she would miss a word, and the main points of the game had been written on the parchment in front of her.
Dumbledore held up something the size of a baseball: "This is the key!" ”
"The content of the game is also very simple, in the first part, you will be together to grab the key, similar to the Golden Snitch - it will fly fast, but for fairness, it is bigger and more conspicuous than the Golden Snitch."
The eyes of the warriors below suddenly widened and they looked at Dumbledore in surprise.
"That's right, the first contest is basically in the sky - except for the last, which we'll talk about later."
Durmstrang erupted in loud cheers, their faces were hideous, and they shook their fists vigorously, as if they had won the battle, and Victor Krum's face couldn't help but have a faint smile.
But the other teams just looked at him with envy, because the best Seekers in the world were on their team, which was undoubtedly a huge advantage!
Dumbledore watched Durmstrang celebrate wildly, but did not stop them, only waiting for them to be a little quieter before saying:
"If it were that simple, you could have celebrated early - the first part of the nine schools scramble for the keys, and once the first key is captured, the second one will be dropped five minutes later, and so on, until all the schools have got the keys."
Durmstrang was a little quieter, thoughtful, and opened up a five-minute advantage over second place?
"Here is the second part, this is the interception zone, that is to say, here, the warrior who gets the key has to work with his teammates to avoid and resist the snatching of other teams, once the key is taken, he can only go back to the first part to re-grab the key as he did at the beginning, and the team that gets the key immediately becomes the dominant team."
Hermione understood the key in an instant, her eyes flickered, no wonder Dumbledore said that this was a test of a free man's strategic setup.
If you hoard a large number of men in the first part to gain an advantage, you will definitely be at a disadvantage in the face of interceptions from other warriors in the second part.
But what if only one person is set up in the first part and pins his hopes on the interception and snatching of the second part?
Everything depends on the third part, not only Hermione, everyone has their eyes on Dumbledore, and the third part is the most important part that affects the whole game strategy!
"Yes, as the proudest of every school, you all thought of the key to the whole game.
That's the third part—"
Dumbledore smiled and nodded:
"The third part is very special, except for the person who holds the key, the people who originally have the second part cannot enter the third part, and can only rely on the hands originally assigned to the third part to cooperate with the ball holder.
The third part is the obstacle dodge, where you have to fly through a magic loop for more than ten minutes, and the obstacles are random, but I can tell you for sure.
It's a great challenge alone! Very big!
And the method of judging the failure of the third level is also very simple, that is, each team loses in the third part, and then you need to go back to the first part and grab the key! ”
I see!
Zhang Xiao nodded thoughtfully, the first two levels are just the relationship between dodging and snatching, but the third part is different, in layman's terms, it is like the life of the game.
The number of people is related to the number of lives, for example, if a team has three people in the third level, it will have three lives, and only when all three lives are consumed will it be considered a failure.
Such a rule will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the staffing of the front.
Dumbledore is right, in addition to the players who officially play in this game, the requirements for free men are probably extremely high!
"Finally—" Dumbledore smiled more and more happily, "when you have passed many levels, you can take the key to Skye Island and open a door at will."
There's the ultimate test inside - a dragon with no limits! ”
Dumbledore looked at the little wizard whose face was getting paler and made up for it:
"Your mission is to get the key around its neck, open the treasure chest, and get the golden egg!"

1. Commuter pass 2. Recommended ticket
This format is a little more complicated, but there is no way to do it, and the configuration of the Warriors team is destined to be as simple as the original book. I think that as a competition of this level, it must test each team from multiple dimensions.
Coordination, strategy, strength, so I've been thinking about what kind of game will be able to complete my design.
That's why there are competitions. I'm very nervous, I don't know if everyone will accept it.
To make a preview, the three projects will be tested from three aspects: sea, land and air. I was really a little nervous.
ps: This chapter is the addition that was promised yesterday!
