The golden egg is cracked!

Zhang Xiao stood up abruptly and rushed to the table, as did Malfoy, who watched excitedly and nervously as the cracks in the golden egg grew bigger and bigger.

"Zhang, what's going on?"

Hagrid looked at the few little wizards suspiciously, because the golden egg that needed one hand to hold up was similar to a normal person holding an egg in Hagrid's eyes, and he didn't see the crack on the golden egg at all, but he still guessed a little when he watched the fierce reaction of the little wizards.

"Is it a golden egg? Oh, my God! ”

Hagrid scrambled to his feet, staring equally nervously at the golden eggs that the young wizards had gathered in the middle.

Taken aback by their reaction, Noble stopped breathing and looked at them inexplicably, but at this time, the little wizards couldn't care about Noble.

As the crack widened, a faint and mysterious light began to spill out of the egg, as if the morning sun was shining all over the hut, reflecting the faces of the young wizards in a golden yellow.

The light became more and more intense, and the cracks on the surface of the golden egg were also densely packed all over the body.

The sound of "click" shattering kept ringing, the golden egg was overwhelmed and scattered, and the pieces of pure gold fell on the iron table with an endless, crisp and pleasant jingle sound.

Immediately after, a silvery-white boxy cube rolled out of the golden egg.

"What is this?"

Ron curiously reached out to touch it, but as soon as his fingers touched the surface of the iron, he couldn't help but wail and retracted it faster.

"Damn, this thing is hot."

Ron looked at the redness on his fingers, held it in his mouth, and said vaguely.

"When will you learn to be careful?" Hermione shook her head helplessly, pulled out her wand from her waist, and whispered "Clear Water Like a Spring"

A clear spring of water poured out of the tip of the wand and sprayed on the small square.

The scorching cube immediately snorted with steam, but the temperature had already dropped.

Malfoy rubbed the small square on the hem of his robe, held it in the palm of his hand, looked at it for a while, and said suspiciously:

"Could this be the clue to the next level? But I couldn't see anything. ”

"Maybe we should use our wand to knock it, like a wizard would normally open something?"

Harry whispered, and pulled out his wand and tapped it lightly twice on the small piece of iron.

"Please, how could there be such a stupid way to open it?"

Hermione became more and more helpless, she felt that these boys were simple-minded as if they were single-celled creatures.

"I guess this must be another puzzle for us to find—"

At that moment, the iron suddenly trembled slightly, and the smooth surface fluctuated like water, and the upward side contracted and deformed, and a round thing resembling a flashlight stretched out.

A beam of light shot out from within the ring, just like Zhang Xiao had seen, which Dumbledore and Grindelwald had used to demonstrate the structure of Gringotts' underground vault.

A delicate diorama, with an illusory glow, gently swirling in the air.

"Oh-"

The little wizard's eyes were fascinated, staring at the projection in the air, and even his breathing and voice became very soft:

"Is this the clue to the next level? What is it? ”

"It looks like something like a relic."

Zhang Xiao stared at the diorama floating in the air, which indeed looked like ruins, collapsed buildings, fallen tomes, and dilapidated houses.

"There's a piece missing." Zhang Xiao said in a low voice: "No, or this is just part of it." ”

He turned to look at Harry and Malfoy, "Where's your golden egg?" ”

Only then did the two react, and hurriedly took out the golden eggs that belonged to them and stuffed them in front of Noble.

"Okay Nobel, breathe fire!"

"Just like you just did."

But Noble just tilted his head and looked at them with his golden snake-like pupils.

"Well, you've got to say that." Zhang Xiao coughed twice: "Noble, barbecue!" ”

Nobel's vertical pupils immediately became rounded, and his neck was raised again, and the scales on his neck became hot and took on a dark red color.

Blazing dragon flames surged out of his mouth, scorching the golden egg.

To everyone's surprise, Harry's golden eggs still shimmered with a charming pale golden glow in the blazing flames, without the slightest change.

In everyone's expectant gaze, Nobo's flames gradually weakened, and finally Xiaolong coughed twice, only spit out some green smoke and sparks, and looked at Zhang Xiao aggrievedly.

"No, Noble is at his limit."

Zhang Xiao shook his head, took out a bottle of brandy from the Qiankun bag, unscrewed the lid and fed it to Norber, Xiaolong was satisfied with the wine bottle and got up, and Hagrid carefully put it on top of his head.

"No, it's definitely longer than the first golden egg." Malfoy frowned, bent down to examine his golden egg.

The surface of the golden eggshell was still as smooth as new, and there was not even a trace of burning.

"Why is this happening?" Harry was also a little confused: "Is it true that every golden egg is unlocked differently?" ”

Zhang Xiao thought for a moment, and then said to Malfoy uncertainly: "We seem to have tried to burn it last night, right?" ”

There were too many methods I tried last night, and Zhang Xiao was a little confused, and I don't know if I have tried to burn it.

Fortunately, Malfoy's work had been very good, and he took out the black notebook and flipped through it, and soon found the record.

"That's right."

Hermione wrinkled her nose, "But then why didn't you use it before but it didn't work?" Is there any difference between the two fires? ”

"Of course there are differences, one is an ordinary flame and the other is a dragon's flame." Ron said as a matter of course.

"But then?" Hermione asked, "Why can't ordinary flames burn, but dragon flames can." ”

"Oh, speaking of which." Hagrid spoke suddenly, roughly, scratching his unkempt hair.

"Zhang, what kind of dragon is that dragon egg of yours? Hungarian tree bees? ”

"Yes." Zhang Xiao nodded.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the eggs of the Hungarian Tree Peak must be heated by the dragon flame of the female dragon in order to hatch smoothly, and only after this step can their eggs be hatched."

Brother Hai is worthy of being a master obsessed with dragons, and he treasures these cold knowledge.

Does it have to be heated by Dragon Flame? Don't?

Zhang Xiao's eyes slowly widened, and so did Hermione, and the two of them said in unison:

"It's the dragon's hatching method."

"What? What are you talking about? Harry and Ron were confused, "What hatching?" ”

"It's the hatching method of dragon eggs." Hermione said eagerly, "Each dragon's egg has its own unique method of hatching.

I guess you have to follow each dragon's egg hatching method to open the golden egg. ”

"Is that so?"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and suddenly became excited, thighs and plug-ins said so, it must be true.

A few little ones hurriedly cooled down the dragon eggs, and then remembered what kind of dragon they had encountered in the first round of the game.

"Oh Harry, the dragon you encountered was the Black Dragon of the Hehidiri Islands."

Hagrid didn't hesitate, and naturally said the dragon's name.

"Great, Hagrid, tell me what is the dragon egg hatching method for this dragon?"

The little wizards couldn't wait to ask.

"Wait a minute, I have to think, I have to think" Hagrid held out a finger and scratched his chin.

Frowning, his eyes relaxed, recalling the information about the black dragon of the Hehitiri Islands.

"Well—the black dragon of the Hehitiri Islands, this is a beautiful dragon, fierce and aggressive."

Hagrid's gaze was misty, as if he was remembering some beautiful woman:

"One such fire dragon requires a hundred square miles of territory.

They were thirty feet long. Yes, the scales are rough.

Their eyes are purple. Very godly, there is a row of ridges on the back that are not deep but sharp as a razor.

Its tail is topped with a thin arrow and bat-like wings. ”

At this point, Hagrid's voice paused:

"These dragons are very mysterious, they only live in the Hehitiri Islands, where there is a family of native wizards.

Call. It's called McFasti, and they've been in charge of the management and care of this dragon. ”

The young wizards didn't dare to interrupt Hagrid's memories, because they were not half a star behind Hagrid compared to their knowledge of dragons.

"I remember!

The dragon's eggs seem to have to be buried in the sand of the volcano of the Hehitiri Islands and hatched using the geothermal heat of the crater. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little wizards jumped up at the same time, and ran outside to the open space with the golden egg in their arms.

"Sand, sand, where is the sand?"

Malfoy looked around with the gold belt.

But Ron was still a little confused: "Man, but didn't Hagrid say that he needed the sand of the crater of the archipelago?" ”

"That's not the case, Ron."

Hermione said quickly, "I think the method of opening the golden egg must be in accordance with the corresponding dragon egg hatching method, but it does not have to be done in the original way.

That is, we just need to bury it in sand and heat it, and that's it.

Just like Zhang's golden egg, he needs the dragon's flame to hatch, so charcoal can't do it, but Noble is obviously a Norwegian spineback dragon, and its dragon flame can open Zhang's golden egg. ”

Harry suddenly remembered something, and he patted his head: "Oops, Cedric and Neville are not here, we are a team, and they should also have the secret of the golden egg." ”

"I'll go find them." Ron stepped forward without hesitation, and after dropping the words, he quickly turned around and galloped away in the direction of the castle.

At the same time, others sprang into action and threw themselves into the task of hatching the golden eggs. Realizing that there was no sand near Hagrid's cabin, they decided to head to the Quidditch field to find it.

There was a clear division of labor, with Malfoy and Zhang Xiao in charge of setting up a suitable environment for incubation, while Hermione and Harry went to the Quidditch pitch to dig up enough sand. In order to bury the golden eggs completely inside the sand, they need a considerable amount of sand.

While they were busy, Ron in the distance took Cedric and Neville in a hurry.

Cedric's face was full of excitement and anticipation, and when he was still some distance away from them, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you solved the secret of the golden egg?" ”

"Yes, but Zhang Xiao said that the golden egg is only part of the clue and is not complete. So we're going to wait for the golden eggs to hatch before merging the leads. Harry replied, "You've come just in time. ”

Following Hagrid's instructions, they buried the golden eggs in the sand and placed a circle of burning charcoal around them.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, they finally heard the click of the golden egg breaking again.

"It really worked!"

"Great!"

"We're ahead again!"

The little wizards were immersed in the joy of victory, laughing and applauding one after another, and they hugged and celebrated each other.

Malfoy rushed forward and pulled the cube out of the sand.

They then quickly returned to Hagrid's cabin and carefully pulled down the curtains on the windows, making sure that it was impossible to see a little from the outside.

Then the small cube was placed on the table, and the tense and expectant atmosphere filled the air, and they rubbed their hands together and sat around the table.

Zhang Xiao watched silently from the side, his eyes were also full of curiosity.

Malfoy carefully tapped his wand on the small square, and in a few moments, the surface of the small square rippled like water waves, quickly transforming into a ring, from which several beams of light shot out, projecting a delicate diorama in the air, and the pale blue model slowly rotated in the air.

"Wait, guys, don't you think this wreck is a little different from Zhang's?" Questions were raised.

"What's the difference?" Cedric and Neville, who had just arrived, didn't know what had happened before, they just heard that they had cracked the secret of the golden egg, so they hurried over.

Because they were running so fast, they couldn't even open their mouths to ask.

"Yes, it's still only part of the ruins." Hermione's expression turned serious.

Zhang Xiao also took out his own projection, and the two projections shone in the sky.

Amazingly, they seemed to be moving closer to each other, and then the two small squares were also attracted to each other like magnets, like building blocks, and they were put together.

The things they projected were also magically joined together to form a larger three-dimensional map of the ruins.

The little wizards excitedly expressed their opinions around the larger stereoscopic projection in the sky.

However, as time passed, their voices gradually decreased and eventually disappeared.

Zhang Xiao understood their confusion, because he believed that it was not only himself who saw it, but also the others - even if it was put together, the map here was still only a part, it was incomplete.

What does this mean exactly? Do you have to collect the golden eggs of the nine schools to put together a complete map of the ruins? What is the purpose of their doing this?

No, Zhang Xiao was suddenly startled, and felt as if he had vaguely guessed something.

If it weren't for the coincidence, it might be difficult for you to figure out the secret of hatching golden eggs.

Or even if you can come up with it, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time.

Will all the other nine schools be able to crack the secret of the golden egg?

Zhang Xiao shook her head gently. Not necessarily.

But the maps in each golden egg are only a small part, and they can obviously be spliced and fused with each other. Theoretically, if you choose to splice them together, the advantage will be greater.

So isn't this level just a test of each school's ability to go it alone? It also tested the ability of the little wizards to solve puzzles.

Perhaps, the test of the second level begins from the moment you get the golden egg

Zhang Xiao's eyes flickered, in the first round of the game, they tested the little wizards' battles in the sky, tactics, and teamwork.

In the second round, Professor Dumbledore seemed eager to make the young wizards face a more complicated situation.

Going it alone?

Or do you want to find a school alliance?

————————————

1. Commuter pass 2. Recommended ticket

The second round should be a little more in-depth in this setting.

The pen power is limited, and I have been pondering for a long time, but I have not written that feeling.
