"Secret news?" Roque was a little surprised.

George looked around and pulled Roque and the others into a corner, "Have you ever heard of the legend of the ingenious key?" ”

"Ahh Hermione exclaimed, "I think I've seen it in a book." ”

"Legend has it that Hogwarts has 16 ingenious keys that can open the house chests of the four major houses, and each house has its own house robes in the chest!"

George snapped his fingers happily: "That's right!" ”

"That's what you're going to say?" Roque said that he had known it for a long time, and he had collected it when he played the game, and the clothes in the treasure chest were his favorite game graduation set, because the clothes were really good.

But it would be tiring for him to collect this again, and who knows where these keys would be hidden in the Hogwarts corners a hundred years after the game.

"That's certainly not the news we're going to talk about." Fred added: "In fact, the keys have already been collected by the students, just a little trouble......

"A little trouble?"

"Each treasure chest of the four major academies requires sixteen keys to be inserted at the same time to collect, but these sixteen keys are scattered among different students in different academies......

yes, that's right!

That's why Roque doesn't want to collect it, it's like collecting all the Dragon Balls, and you're not alone.

If fifteen keys are found, and the last one is collected by another person, and the person doesn't give it to him, isn't that a waste of work? You can't kill them!

"So after discussing with the students who collected the keys, they decided to quietly hold a wizard duel, and the victorious wizard can get sixteen keys and will have the ownership of four treasure chests!" George said with his hands dancing.

"It's going to be a winner-takes-all duel!" Fred also said pompously.

Hermione was a little puzzled: "Then why don't the four academies work together, first open your treasure chest, and then open our treasure chest, isn't it good for everyone to win?" ”

Win-win?

George and Fred glanced at each other, not knowing how to explain to Hermione, a young wizard who had just arrived at the school.

Let's not talk about whether Gryffindor and Slytherin, the two head-breaking houses, are willing to cooperate with each other for a win-win situation.

The conflict of interest between the wizard and the wizard alone is destined to be difficult to work with.

There is only one special robe in the treasure chest of each academy, even if all four treasure chests are opened, it means that only four people in the whole school can wear clothes, and the wizards within the academy still have to fight among themselves, and in the end, they still have to rely on duels to speak.

And the main problem is still generated by the Lion Courtyard and the Snake Courtyard - both academies want to open each other's treasure chests, and even threaten to wear each other's exclusive robes away, and then show off, so that the losing academies will always be crushed in the future.

But as soon as this idea came out, the other two academies also had a sense of crisis, and no one wanted their academies' clothes to be taken away by other academies.

There is quite a feeling of a chain of suspicion, and the four colleges are wary of each other, so they are not willing to cooperate, and they just want to get the key in their hands to rest assured.

The secondary issue is power and prestige.

The Snake Courtyard is the academy that has collected the most keys, but before the game is decided, they are about to break the key inside!

Acquisitions, family pressure, and private duels are endless.

The exclusive robe is certainly expensive, but the pure-blood family of the Snake Courtyard is obviously not short of this money, and they value the prestige brought by the exclusive robe.

It doesn't matter if it's a takeover or a duel, it's a way to show your family's or your personal strength.

Whoever gets all the keys first in the Snake Courtyard means who has the strongest family, or who has the highest magical strength.

Think of the Dark Lord, and think of the savior Harry Potter, even though Harry's own prowess prevented him from catching this splash......

But now he went out for a walk, and as soon as he heard that it was Harry Potter, someone immediately leaned over. What bulls, ghosts, snakes, gods, strong and weak, what Lockhart, what potions master Slughorn......

There are a lot of people who will be willing to help him for the sake of fame.

So no ambitious wizard will give up the opportunity to increase his reputation.

So this competition in which all four major academies participated was born, after all, it is better to be the strongest of one academy than to be the strongest of four academies.

The duel over the ownership of the key grew bigger and bigger in private, and in the end, the contestants even included all the prefects of the four major colleges.

And, of course, Percy Weasley of Gryffindor, the older brother of George and Fred, who desperately wants power and prestige.

The exclusive robe has unwittingly become an accessory to the ultimate reward reputation.

"Interesting, what are the entry criteria?" Roque was a little curious.

"What are the entry criteria?" George shook his head, "I don't know, Percy never mentioned it, I just know that the people who can participate in the competition are strong." ”

"You don't want to compete, do you? Don't make a fuss, the first-year wizards don't know about this game, and we haven't even told our own brother. Fred tried to dispel Roque's curiosity.

"I've heard that your magic skills are good, but it's best not to participate in this competition, this time even the student president participated, and that was the best student in the seventh grade! It's okay for a little wizard like us. ”

They just want to pull a few people to watch the game together, not to go up and play the game tiredly.

"Which house is leading this game?"

"Slytherin, because they have the most keys." George sighed.

Fred then added: "The location is the bell tower in the courtyard of the bell tower in the south side, which will be held tomorrow night, and the code to enter is the staff of the duel. ”

Slytherin hosts......

That Roque has a bottom in his heart.

However, there is still a transfiguration class tomorrow afternoon, and he will not have to worry about a game all the time, and he still has to review his transfiguration knowledge after eating in the auditorium.

In the evening, Roque embarked on his first night tour, which was not actually a night tour, that is, a gap between nine and ten o'clock.

Because there is a curfew at 10 o'clock in the senior year, and there is a curfew at 9 o'clock in the first grade.

Roque wasn't willing to sacrifice the time he had to sleep at his age, but he did need to gather pages for combat guides and practice his spell skills along the way.

……

The next afternoon.

Professor Cat's class has started!

There was a silver-bottomed tabby squatting on the desk, but the news that Professor McGonagall could turn into a cat to fish for law enforcement had spread along with the news that Harry was late for his first class.

This is also the disadvantage of being famous, being late once makes people nag for a lifetime.

It's a pity that Roque had taken the first transfiguration class, and if Roque had had a chance to pet the cute kitten.

Not now, now it is a violation of the law, and when the time comes, Teacher McGonagall will definitely add a degree to his crime.
