Chapter 111: The Second Round is Coming!

"Water-walking potion? What is that? ”

"How does it compare to mermaid potion?"

"What is a mermaid potion?" Malfoy's signature disdainful smile appeared on his face, pointing to the azure water-walking potion and introducing:

"Do you remember the cheeks? This is also used in the water potion, but the gill sac grass has side effects, and you can't eat too much in a short time, otherwise it will be irreversible. ”

The little wizards nodded vigorously, the side effects Hermione and Neville had mentioned.

"But Professor Snape's water-walking potion removes the side effects of the gill grass and prolongs its use!"

"Oh————!" The little wizards exclaimed in unison, and Ron said puzzledly, "This is made by Snape?" How can he still have this level?

I always thought he didn't have any skills, so he would make some ordinary potions. ”

Yes? Snape? Nothing to do?

Zhang Xiao almost didn't hold back, to be honest, Snape had just been hiding himself, so he didn't have much reputation in the wizarding world.

Being able to make a lot of changes to textbooks in the sixth grade, and even better, this potions talent is the Potions Nick Lemay.

Zhang Xiao even suspected that the original Slytherin dean, Slaterhorn, was far behind Snape.

"Ron, you really should pay attention to Potions, Professor Snape's level is actually very high, didn't you notice that Professor Snape's approach when we were in Potions class was a little different from the textbook?"

The little witch could tolerate Ron's other problems, but couldn't stand his 'contempt for knowledge', Hermione retorted earnestly:

"The ability to suggest revisions to textbooks, and to keep coming up with new potions, is a testament to Professor Snape's level."

At the end, she shrugged her shoulders and added:

"I don't like Professor Snape either, but I don't think we should doubt his level."

The little wizards were silent for a while, and for the sake of the water potion, they nodded vigorously in agreement.

Vagadu, Moon Boat

Headmaster Yoweri sat cross-legged on a thatched mat, looked at several school warriors sitting in front of him, and said slowly:

"So. You haven't solved the mystery of the golden egg yet? ”

Captain François bowed his head in shame, they tried all the methods they could think of, but they could not solve the mystery of the golden egg.

Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer, he really had no way to find the principal.

Judging from the first round of projects, the second round will not be much simpler, if the preparation time is not enough

Yoweri closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, but still sighed, Vagado's reputation is not small, and the wandless spell casting and human transformation have made them enjoy a lot of reputation in the wizarding world.

If the Goblet of Fire doesn't perform well this time

In the first round, they only finished sixth, and there were already a lot of doubts on the African side.

"Let's prepare for the ceremony—"

François jerked his head up, a hint of ecstasy on his face:

"Yes! Headmaster! ”

Soon they brought a wooden table to the largest room of the moon boat, on which various divination items were placed, such as bones, turtle shells, feathers, stones, and herbs.

Yoweri walked over to the table, lit a stick of vanilla, and prayed softly.

The large room was empty, except for his strange whisper, and after a few moments, Yoweri lit a fire and sprinkled it with a handful of crystal powder.

A rich aroma mixed with a pungent smell rises, and the fire turns an eerie rose-red color.

Yoweri took out a mask carved of wood and put it on his face, and danced strangely around the fire with his bare feet, the smell getting stronger and stronger, and he seemed to have all kinds of strange hallucinations.

François waited outside the door with a few other members of the Warriors, anxiously waiting.

After a long time, the door to the room was opened, and Yoweri said tiredly, "It's hard to break through the protective magic on the golden egg, but Dumbledore still kept his hand, deliberately leaving some gaps.

The way to open the golden egg is to hatch, go for it."

Madame Maxim's fan-like hands rested on the gilded armrests, and the precious opal ring glittered in the light.

A crystal wine glass, the size of a small bucket, swayed gently in the other hand.

"Fleur, the secret of the golden egg hasn't been solved yet?"

Fleur shook her long silver hair that was shiny like a waterfall, her delicate eyebrows furrowed together, and she said in annoyance:

"Not yet, I've never had such a tricky problem."

Her attitude was casual, and she was not too respectful because of Madame Maxim's status, because they were both women and had inhuman blood, and the two were very close.

Madame Maxim didn't care, she muttered for a while, and threw up her head to drink a full bottle of wine (only a sip for her).

"I'm going to ask Master Nick Lemay if Beauxbatons can't be as quiet as he was in the first round."

There was a hint of majesty on her delicate face, which did not match her size:

"There were a lot of broomsticks in the first round of the project, which you weren't good at, and there were Victor Krum and Harry Potter kinds. I can understand the kind of existence that is extremely talented in this area, and the grades are not good.

But in the second round, Beauxbatons had to have his own voice on the field! ”

Fleur didn't speak, just nodded silently as well.

Maxim picks up an alchemy item that only the headmaster has, which Nick Lemay has specially equipped for Beauxbatons, and he is full of affection for his alma mater.

If needed, Beauxbatons' successive principals would pick it up and call Nick LeMay for help.

It's no wonder that the wizarding community generally believes that Beauxbatons is a deformed prosperity, all built on Nick Lemay personally.

Nick quickly got on the call, and the elixir had caused him to lose sleep early.

"Maxim?"

"Yes, Dear Master Lemay, I'm sorry to disturb you so late."

Maxim respectfully recounted the difficulties encountered by Beauxbatons, but he did not expect Nick's interest to be so great:

"Oh? Albus's puzzles? I made all these golden eggs, but I don't know the magic that Albus set up later, and it can stump you for so long? ”

The more Nick talked, the happier he became, curiosity had become a luxury in his life, and there weren't many things that could make him feel very interesting.

So he immediately agreed, as to whether doing so would ruin the fairness of the game.

Nick had seen so much over the course of time that he was sure that several other schools were doing similar things, and the only thing that hadn't been done was Hogwarts.

Dumbledore wasn't that kind of person, but Hogwarts did.

"I'll leave now!"

"Okay, then I'll take the Beauxbatons students and wait for your arrival."

Castrobusche

Headmaster da Silva placed the golden eggs in a pot, and gradually, tiny rhizomes like silk emerged from the soil and covered the surface of the golden eggs, dense and layered.

He waited quietly, only for a short time, and the whole golden egg had turned into a green egg covered by tiny rhizomes.

Da Silva pulled out another quaint-looking stone box, opened it, pinched a pinch of crystalline powder, and sprinkled it into a beautiful glass jug.

The powder melted into the water, and a cloud of green smoke exploded in the water, and in just an instant, the water in the glass pot had turned into a liquid with a high-spirited breath of life.

Da Silva poured water on the egg, and the green roots wrapped around the golden egg greedily absorbed the liquid, but not a drop of water fell into the basin.

After the green liquid was poured, the roots suddenly squirmed, forming a 'human face', and a slightly ethereal voice sounded:

"Ahh The taste of the fountain of life. Say it and say what you doubt."

The Kordos Doretz, Ilvermorny, and Durmstrang warriors all chose to ask for help in the face of the helpless golden eggs.

A similar scene took place at the campuses of the various schools.

Anyway, they finally got the second round.

Time flies, and the weather finally gets a little warmer, but the cold wind still blows on people's faces.

Malfoy and the others only thought they had only been practicing for a short time, but the date of the competition was already close at hand.

"I can't believe it. What about the time, where has the time gone? ”

As the game approached, Hermione seemed to be suffering from hysteria and felt that she was not ready for anything, and she walked back and forth in the abandoned classroom.

Several others were also made even more nervous by Hermione's behavior, and they could only silently check their preparations over and over again.

I wonder if there will be any problems, and if there are any things I didn't expect.

Fortunately, after the first round of the competition, at least it is no longer like last time, as if it has become a dull wooden man.

Zhang Xiao helped everything she could, and the game still had to be played by herself after all.

"Come on!"

can only say this, the little wizards stopped what they were doing, looked at Zhang Xiao, and nodded heavily.

"Come on!"

Time was racing by again, as if someone had cast a spell on the clocks to make them spin faster.

On the morning of the game, just after breakfast, Professor McGonagall gathered all the warriors together.

And the little wizards who didn't leave cheered on the warriors of Hogwarts.

They watched as the Great Hall changed under Professor Flitwick's wand, and the tables that had been erected were now all horizontal.

A huge curtain was magically lifted and stood in front of the rostrum.

In Zhang Xiao's view, it is a bit like a movie theater, and when the game starts, the little wizards will sit here and watch the real-time broadcast.

"Alright, warriors!"

Professor McGonagall slapped her face vigorously, attracting everyone's attention.

She looked around through the square lenses, and said majestically:

"Later, you'll have half an hour to pack your things and then assemble in the open space in front of the gates of Hogwarts Castle, and I'll take you to the venue for the second round.

Do you understand? ”

"Got it!"

The dry voices of the warriors sounded below, Zhang Xiao looked around, as if everyone was very nervous, and some of the warriors had pale faces and clenched their fists.

Others lowered their heads, their mouths kept opening and closing, not knowing what they were reading.

"I hope to see a lot of you somewhere by then, instead of needing me to look for it alone, okay, disband!"

The warriors hurried away, and Malfoy followed Zhang Xiao back to the common room, but the things that needed to be prepared were already in their bags.

Because of Malfoy's small satchel with the Traceless Stretching Charm, he has become a mobile warehouse for the entire team.

"Zhang" Malfoy snorted, his voice quiet.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiao took out the things from the Qiankun bag and counted them, and asked curiously.

Malfoy hesitated for a moment and shook his head:

"Nothing."

He wanted to tell him how nervous he was, but Pony didn't think it looked like this, he had said it in the first round, and now he said it again, and he looked like a piece of waste.

Half an hour had never passed so quickly, as if it was just a daze, and the time passed.

When they came to the clearing in front of the castle, they saw a huge sailing ship parked in the Black Lake, which looked very imposing, larger than the strange one in Durmstrang.

McGonagall just glanced at it and saw that there were quite a few people here, and she nodded in satisfaction and beckoned to the warriors:

"Get on board!"

The young wizards lined up on the boat through the gangplank, and before they could enjoy the view, they were herded into the cabin by Professor McGonagall.

Zhang Xiao originally thought that there should be a traceless stretching spell in the cabin, but he didn't expect that the cabin was not large.

It's just that the decoration is not the same as a normal cabin, it is more like a bar.

Several headmasters were sitting at the bar, drinking and chatting leisurely, and there were some officials from the Ministry of Magic inside.

Zhang Xiao looked around, but was surprised to find that the waiters here and the bartenders in front of the bar were all uniformed elves.

It's an employee of his own elf housekeeping company again!

What's the situation? When did you start such a business?

Am I really the boss?

Dumbledore raised his glass and said with a smile:

"People sit here for a while and order some drinks. Of course, I think maybe we'll be there before the drink is finished. ”

Hearing him say this, the little wizards became more and more nervous.

They sat down in silence, exchanging glances, not knowing what they were thinking.

At this moment, the big ship suddenly moved, followed by a violent tremor.

The warriors held on to the round table fixed on the board of the ship in disbelief, what happened?

The bump became more and more severe, and the whole boat seemed to jump, and everyone exclaimed, but the principals were still chatting happily, as if nothing had happened around them.

Suddenly, all the movement stopped.

Dumbledore slowly stood up and spread his hands:

"I think we've arrived—"

He winked at the little wizards, and said in a narrow tone:

"Welcome to.

Atlantic Ocean! ”
