Chapter 326 Warrior~
Seven schools come together, and Hogwarts must be an interesting host.
A welcome dinner is indispensable.
At the end of the welcome dinner, the food and drinks were taken away, and it was time to get down to business.
Dumbledore introduced the judges of the Seven Wizards Tournament:
Pilis Terman, a representative of the International Confederation of Wizards.
This is a tall wizard in his fifties, who can sense magic fluctuations and is quite good at it.
This is a rare occasion for the International Federation of Wizards to intervene in some magic events, and it can be seen that they are also making some changes.
Frederick Fosse, Director of the Department of International Cooperation, Ministry of Magic.
It was supposed to be Barty Crouch Sr., but he is now locked up at home awaiting trial. Ted was not impressed by this man.
Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Physical Education and Sports at the Ministry of Magic.
This is an old acquaintance. When he opened the game at the Qui World Cup, he gave people leprechaun gold coins.
To be honest, even if he was not beaten to death, he is still the Director of the Ministry of Magic? Is there any justice for this?
It is said that this grandson borrowed a loan from the Goblin Bank at a high interest rate and ran away to avoid the debt. Unexpectedly, he came back, was restored to his original position, and became a judge?
Then there are the leaders of the seven teams, the principals and professors.
Dumbledore explained the rules of the competition: Each team will select seven warriors through the Goblet of Fire, and then pass seven tests. Each level will be scored to eliminate the last seven, and the winner of the last level will be the champion.
Then Ted saw the Goblet of Fire, a golden magic gold box inlaid with jewels, and inside was a huge wooden carved wine glass!
The Goblet of Fire is more than one meter high. It is in the shape of a goblet, made of wood, and the carving is a bit rough. It feels like it was cut out casually with a knife without polishing it carefully. It has edges and corners.
However, this simple wooden cup is attached with powerful contract magic.
This was signed by the three magic schools using their respective names and magic powers. Once the contract is reached, even professor-level wizards cannot go back on it.
"Wizards who want to represent their school can write their names on parchment and throw them into the Goblet of Fire. Once selected, they cannot be changed and must participate..."
The little wizards were extremely excited. Although they felt they couldn't compare with Ted, there were seven places!
I couldn’t keep the Goblet of Fire and I was blinded, so I was chosen!
Vote! Vote tonight!
However, Dumbledore glanced at the restless pro-students and added: "In order to reduce damage, contestants in this Seven Wizards Tournament must be over 17 years old."
To this end, Old Den specially drew a circle around the Goblet of Fire burning blue fire. It has the meaning of Sun Wukong drawing a circle for Tang Monk.
The little wizards suddenly howled!
If he must be 17 years old, wouldn’t even Ted not meet the requirement?
…
That night, the young wizards at Hogwarts were all talking about how to get over Dumbledore's circle.
Some impatient students have already tried it, but they couldn't get in at all.
There were those who were not afraid of death. They charged forward and got a **** nose.
Someone is smart enough to roll the parchment into a ball and throw it into the Goblet of Fire.
But the Goblet of Fire is not a paper basket and a trash can. It was spit out directly and sprayed far away.
For a time, the little wizards had an unprecedentedly unified goal and took action quickly.
The top students in Ravenclaw are searching for relevant information in libraries and other places, and providing theoretical guidance and program planning on forums.
The little lions of Gryffindor are the executors. There are endless methods such as confusion spells, age-enhancing potions, anti-contract rituals, zodiac calendars, deceptive parchments... there are endless ways!
The Goblet of Fire has never been around.
There are young wizards standing next to the Goblet of Fire, broadcasting the actions and results of various people on the forum.
But even the random circles were drawn by Lao Deng. Although these little wizards have various methods, they are not enough to impress.
It was the sixth and seventh grade students who threw the parchment into the paper, making the junior students very angry.
Halloween will be the time to select the warriors, and the first round of elimination will begin in November. The students are anxious!
A lot of people are here @TED: Ted, please say something~
Many students are also complaining, feeling that others are not qualified to represent Hogwarts as warriors. If there is no Ted, it would be fine not to participate in this competition!
In short: Ted Yingyuan has the qualities of a warrior!
Ted originally wanted nothing to do with this. Participating with your own strength is too bullying.
But the system didn’t think so and went straight to the task.
“Ding~Trigger the task:
【One of the Seven Wizard Tournaments: Hogwarts Warriors (Red)】
The only major event in history, including seven famous magic schools around the world. This is a rare event, and I don’t know if there will be another opportunity in the future.
Goal: Become a warrior of Hogwarts and represent the school in the competition.
Reward: 3000 experience, cards [Warrior (Blue)], [Certificate of Warrior (Blue)].
A series of tasks, the rewards will increase each time. "
The reward for this task can only be said to be average.
Although it is not difficult at all for Ted to become a warrior. But the rewards aren't too attractive either.
But this series of tasks made Ted a little jealous.
If the rewards become more and more generous, how many rewards will there be in the end!
There are seven more levels to come!
It should be conservative and it must be an eighth-ring mission, right?
The experience alone is worth tens of thousands!
Want to give it a try?
The classmates were very restless, and even the friends were a little anxious. Harry and Ron kept urging Ted to think of a solution. But Ted was still hesitant...
Then he received a letter from Hagrid: Ted, come quickly, something happened!
Ted and Hermione quickly ran to his side and realized what had happened.
My own big white horse cabbage has been raised outside. I often come to Hagrid’s vegetable garden to eat some carrots or something.
No, the twelve Pegasus that Beauxbatons recently pulled are all left here for Hagrid to take care of.
Care came and went, and one of them was ridden by Baicai several times without paying attention.
That wonderful talisman Pegasus? !
Baicai: I am also a good white horse, a perfect match!
When Ted and the others went, Baicai was busy working.
Hagrid looked like he wanted to stop him, but also wanted to see what new varieties he could come up with.
Ted quickly reached out to cover Hermione's eyes: You can't see this...
Hermione's face turned slightly red, and she secretly observed through her fingers.
In the end, there was no other way. Ted cheated: He had already ridden, so what else could he do?
What?
Madame Maxime was so angry that she wanted to castrate the cabbage to vent her anger.
Of course, Tedna couldn’t agree: “Don’t look at me as a cabbage, but I’m not good-looking…”
Bai Cai: Look carefully, look carefully!
"But my big white horse is also a very precious magic species. It can speak, let alone speak, and it can also do swordsmanship! Although it cannot fly, it can travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred in a night. The ravines and mountains are as flat as roads, and the grass is soaring without leaving a trace on the snow. !”
ˆ Baicai: Although this is true, I am modest and won’t mention it!
“I can’t tell you, but you are taking advantage! If you get pregnant in the future, remember to give me a red envelope!”
Baicai: That’s right, you don’t know how hard I work! One against six, I've lost weight!
Maxim laughed when he heard this. Not angry, but really laughing.
As the principal of Beauxbatons and a famous French family, how could she not know about Ted?
She didn't know that Ted and Fleur kept getting closer these days, causing Hermione to have a psychological shadow. Whose idea was it?
Failing to protect this tall lady, she hopes that her beloved disciple will gain something!
Here in Great Britain, because of Fudge and Ted's reputation gradually rising over the years, it's not too exciting, it's a bit like boiling a frog in warm water.
But in France, Ted is really popular.
Before the Beauxbatons team came, how many people had talked to Maxim about this young wizard with great potential.
With this incident, Maxim even pushed Fleur to Ted's side, "The matter has come to this, and there is nothing we can do. You should be responsible for taking care of these Pegasus! Never let anything happen again!"
Baicai: Bah~Who are you going to bury? The rest are all stallions!
Not only was Mrs. Maxim trying to influence Ted, Professor Geller also had a lot of private conversations with Ted, encouraging him to bring glory to the school.
Ted, who knew his true identity, was very alert: You are such a bad old man, what are you planning?
However, it was not just the two of them, other members or leaders of the representative team were all paying attention to Ted.
There is no use keeping a low profile at this time. Ted has already registered internationally!
Made, in that case, let’s do it!
…
"Classmates! I know what troubles you are facing. We can understand Dumbledore's desire to protect us. But we cannot be protected forever!"
“Every member of Hogwarts should have the opportunity to run for the Champions League and let the Goblet of Fire choose who will represent Hogwarts!”
Ted is finally taking action!
As for breaking Dumbledore's magic, this is also very simple.
This circle has a very strong discriminating ability, and all methods of increasing age are useless. Confusion spells or whatever are of no use.
Ted's method of cracking was even more ingenious. He pointed his wand directly, controlled the platform under the Goblet of Fire to fly up, and flew directly out of the circle with the Goblet of Fire.
Since there is nothing you can do about the magic circle, then ignore that circle. Just take the Goblet of Fire out of the circle and it's over.
The circle drawn by Sun Dasheng couldn't stop Tang Sanzang from walking out on his own!
The little wizards who were watching stopped talking. You looked at me and I looked at you: Fuck! Why didn't I think of that! Why don't you feel sorry for that circle? !
Soon, the little wizards threw the slips of paper with their names on them into the Goblet of Fire.
Even the first-year students were not spared.
It’s a joyful time.
Other members of the representative team also smiled - if Hogwarts really selected a young warrior, it would be beneficial to them.
By the time Professor McGonagall arrived, almost all the little wizards had voted.
Frustrated, she had no choice but to punish Ted to solitary confinement.
This incident not only received cheers from the little wizard, but many team leaders also took the opportunity to observe Ted.
At first I thought I could take the opportunity to see his magic level, but I didn't expect to find such a unique approach.
The leaders looked at Ted with strange expressions.
The end of October is coming soon, and Halloween is here.
It’s a festival, and Ted’s singing is indispensable.
Not to mention this kind of grand event, the students are all counting on Ted's song to make them proud.
Ted couldn’t resist, so he came up with “TryEverything”, the theme song of Zootopia~
“Ohohohoh
Ohohohoh
Ohohohoh
Ohohohoh
I have scars all over my body and have experienced too many failures
Tell yourself that you will have no regrets if you try again
The road is not smooth. Keep going regardless.
So what if the road ahead is long?
There is no flight that does not stop and rest
There is no growth without falling and getting injured
I won’t give up, I won’t admit defeat
Until one day, I make a comeback
I'm not afraid, I want to feel everything
I want to experience it, even if it is imperfect
I won’t give up, I won’t admit defeat
Until one day, I make a comeback
…”
After the song started, the whole place fell into silence.
Many of the principals and professors leading the team were startled. They had lost their vigilance and been affected by this weird singing! Even my emotions were lifted by this song!
It’s too dangerous to realize it only after a song ends.
Especially the strong Slavic principal of the Mao team and the thin, dark and monkey-like principal of Wagarduna. The two of them were so shocked that they even sweated on their foreheads, as if they had just walked away from hell.
But the highlight of today’s program is not this, but the selection of warriors.
Dumbledore already knew about Ted's good deeds.
On the one hand, I am dumbfounded that my magic has been broken in this way. On the other hand, I can only sigh that everything cannot be as I wish. Some people cannot avoid certain things.
After the meal, Dumbledore came to the Goblet of Fire and began to cast spells.
The lazy blue flame in the cup began to burn violently, spraying out more than two meters high!
Then spit out a burned piece of parchment.
Dumbledore reached out to catch it, opened it, and said loudly: "Durmstrang's warrior, Viktor Krum!"
“Wow wow wow~” A lot of people applauded.
After all, he is a big star. Not only those from his school, but also many people from Hogwarts or other representative teams applauded.
Then Durmstrang’s warrior candidates appeared one by one, including six men and one woman from Krum.
Then came the Beauxbatons warriors, including Fleur, six women and one man.
Then there are the warriors of Da Mao School, five girls and two boys.
The warriors of Wagadu, four men and three women.
South American warriors, three men and three women.
The warriors of Ilvermorny are a group of two men and two women who are not easily distinguished by gender.
Finally, the main event is here!
Hogwarts!
"The Champion of Hogwarts—Ted Epiphany!" The first one is Ted.
The students immediately clapped and cheered with great enthusiasm, as if the competition for hegemony had been won.
Then "Neville Longbottom!"
“Harry Potter!”
“Ron Weasley!”
“Jerry!”
“Hermione Granger!”
Well, that’s good too. Gryffindor and Ravenclaw both have two warriors...
Slytherin student, you look at me, I look at you: I am Cao!
At this moment, a piece of parchment flew down.
Dumbledore took the note and called out his name: "Draco Malfoy!"
“Okay! We have warriors too!” The Slytherin students shouted regardless of their restraint.
It would be a shame if there were seven warriors and not one Slytherin. It's more embarrassing than losing the game at Hogwarts!
Hufflepuff’s little badger lowered his head silently.
Neville, Harry, Ted, Hermione, Ron, Jerry, Malfoy.
Okay, seven warriors, seven minors! So scary!
…
After the selection of the warriors, many people were severely disappointed. For example, Ron~
Ron: “Brother Drag, this guy can actually be selected!”
Harry: "That's right, that boy Malfoy has nothing but good looks."
Ron and Jerry couldn't help rolling their eyes. Traitor~~~
Ted smoothed things over: "No matter how much she hates the other person or is hostile, Harley can remain objective and fair in her appearance evaluation~"
Seeing Ron and Jerry looking askance at him, Ted quickly shouted: "It is our duty to restore the glory of Hogwarts."
A group of little wizards were fed a pot of chicken soup by Ted. From now on, my fate is at my mercy!
The beasts' blood boiled and they shouted in unison: "We wizards, why should we fear a battle~"
This is arranged in advance, otherwise it would not be so complete.
Other teams rolled their eyes. This is the disadvantage of playing away from home.
If whoever has the loudest voice wins, you have already won the championship.
Soon, reporters came to Hogwarts to interview.
It was Ted's old acquaintance Rita Skeeter, and Ron took the opportunity to send her away.
Neville saw this and said, "You shouldn't give her directions. I don't like this woman."
Ron spread his hands: "Man! I don't like it either, but I can't let her focus on you. Otherwise, you will be in big trouble. Understand~"
Jerry nodded: "Ron, you are really smart!"
Ron smiled: "That's right, you all say I'm a fool, but actually I'm not a fool at all. I'm very witty most of the time!"
Jerry: "Then why don't you point her to the wrong path?"
Ron: “...Shut up!”
Sure enough, where there is Rita, there is fake news.
The day after her interview, the newspaper published the love-hate entanglement between Neville, the golden boy who survived the catastrophe, and Harry, who inherited the property of two large families.
Don't tell me, Rita may have included him because of Ron's guidance. The role of the little licking dog’s spare tire~
As expected of a royal pen, one article angered six people!
The disease is basically cured, except for allergic rhinitis, and the condition is being adjusted.
