Chapter 335 Christmas Marriage: Old Man Dumbledore~
It was not a peaceful Christmas night.
Looking at the current situation, Ted even suspected that Lao Deng was worried about the fertility rate of wizards in Great Britain, so he agreed to the Seven Wizards Tournament.
Let’s promote international wizard marriage exchanges—those senior students who are about to graduate are really likely to get married right after graduation!
Of course, Ted himself was not qualified to question this... He also went back to the dormitory to sleep in the middle of the night.
And when he returned to the dormitory, there was only one person in the dormitory.
Terry Butt, the roommate who especially liked to tease Ansu and was then scolded by Ansu, hadn't slept yet. He saw Ted back in a daze and asked, "Ted, are you back?"
“Terry, where are they? Haven’t they come back yet?”
“Well, these two guys don’t know what they were doing. They disappeared halfway through the dance.”
Ted looked at Terry suspiciously: "Then when did you come back?"
“When the dance ended? What happened?”
“Ah, it’s nothing, just go to sleep.”
Is this kid really a Ravenclaw student because he woke up so late? Got assigned to the wrong school?
As for the other two roommates who haven’t come back yet, I hope they can take it easy. There is no abortion spell in the magic world, so don’t kill anyone!
…
At this time, in a remote corridor of the school, two figures were discussing something in a low voice.
“If we don’t do something, there is no hope for us...”
“As you can see, that boy is not an ordinary guy…”
"If we can eliminate him, we still have hope..."
“At worst, we’ll have to fight it out in the end.”
“Then it’s settled…”
The thin black figure left first, but the tall and thin figure stood there for a long time, reaching out to touch the stone wall that stood here thousands of years ago.
…
On the other side, in the principal's office, Dumbledore, wearing a white robe, was talking to Professor Geller, who was sitting across the desk.
The drinks and candies he kindly handed over were untouched by the other party.
Dumbledore: Where is the trust between people?
“Gellert, what do you want to do?”
“Let’s talk openly and honestly…”
“You’re here for Ted, right?”
"Don't touch him, I don't care about you. But if you try to influence him, I'm afraid I will have to take action."
Grindelwald listened quietly to Dumbledore's ramble for a long time, and then said: "I saw the future, a new future. Ted will be the key..."
…
At this time, in the basement of the castle, Snape was making a potion, an extremely high-end, even terrifying potion.
Dumbledore was probably the first wizard in the world to hit the ceiling.
But there are not none who are on the same level as him.
For example, Grindelwald, or Voldemort who doesn’t know what he is doing.
Although they are still in a weak recovery period, as long as Dumbledore cannot completely break through, they will not be able to fully expand their combat effectiveness.
Under these legendary wizards, there is also a group of sub-strongest people, or something new, called half-step legends? !
It is a wizard who is level 16 or above and has reached the end of the ordinary magic path and needs to find his own special magic path.
Generally speaking, there are quite a few such wizards, and each country must not have more than three or five. Generally speaking, they are over eighty years old, and it is normal to be over one hundred years old.
But such a half-step legendary wizard generally cannot take the second half step.
It's better, you can still move forward, level 17 or 18. Those who are more average or less ambitious may reach level 16 in this life.
The typical person at this level is Snape.
Snape has extremely high attainments in dark magic. He may be ranked third in Great Britain, followed by Voldemort and Dumbledore.
And he is also very accomplished in potions, and he is at least among the top five in Great Britain.
The most important thing is, young!
Compared to the half-step legends of those in their seventies, eighties, or even centenarians, he still has a lot of time to use. It can be said that the chances are great.
A few years ago, although he also noticed that he had entered a bottleneck, he was depressed because of the death of Lily Evans. There has been no progress.
Since Ted Harley and a group of others entered school, his condition has gradually returned.
Especially last year, Ryan's torment in the Forbidden Forest actually stimulated Snape's ambition to make progress.
Now, he is trying to find his own road, which is vague, hazy, and dreamlike, as if it is not far ahead, but no matter whether you sprint or trot, it is the road that cannot be approached.
This time was no exception. The material was so miraculous that it was no longer a physical object but a pot of potion of concept. Finally, it turned into a puff of smoke, and the smoke rising into the sky seemed to be like a pot of potion. It looks like a grimace and roars ferociously!
But it seemed that this was not the first time for Snape. With a wave of his hand, a magic circle was activated, and a magic spell sucked the green smoke into a crystal bottle.
The first time Snape did this, he almost blew up his office and let it run outside.
The potion he tried to break through was not simple. Even if he failed, the potion waste seemed to have become some kind of magical creation, with many special abilities and extremely destructive.
Later, Snape gained experience and began to deal with it properly.
Even these special crystal bottles used to seal the medicine residue were custom-made by Ted using alchemy.
However, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is the lack of progress.
Snape sealed the crystal bottle and put it on the shelf on the side. At this time, there was already a row of crystal bottles on the shelf, six of them including this one.
…
The next day during the day, many little wizards were having breakfast listlessly, and of course some were particularly excited.
In short, it’s hard to say much.
Luckily it’s a holiday, otherwise I would definitely not be able to go to class.
In the secret base, Hermione leaned on Ted and flipped through an ancient book on the variants of spells in her hand.
Her magic power has increased rapidly recently, and she is studying how to further improve her combat effectiveness.
Ted has notified his friends to come to the meeting.
After all, next year is coming soon. If you have to rescue people in the Black Lake in the cold weather in January, you have to prepare in advance.
Although the second level of the Forbidden Forest Battle Royale ended very tragically, there were only 18 people left in the end.
But according to regulations, only the last 7 will be eliminated in this level.
Finally, according to the score, the last place will be eliminated:
Beauxbatons-1 There are 5 people left.
All Durmstrang men are still alive.
Everyone at Hogwarts is alive and well.
Maozi’s team -2 has 4 people left.
Wagadu-2 has 4 people left.
Ilvermorny -1 There are 4 people left.
Samba Team -1, leaving 4.
Looking at it now, the hope of winning the championship lies with the Durmstrang team and the Hogwarts team.
Let’s not talk about Hogwarts. The two levels of competition were perfect without any attrition.
Durmstrang also performed well. Although there was an unlucky guy who was unable to join the main force and was eliminated by the Maozi team, his score was very high, so he was not eliminated.
Looking at the two games, it is worthy of being a school that teaches black magic, and the warriors’ combat effectiveness is indeed great. There are even some fancy things like casting spells.
In the subsequent strength rankings, Beauxbatons and Wagadu are a bit difficult to rank.
The warriors of Beauxbatons are relatively comprehensive and follow an orthodox approach. Wagadu's warrior path is too wild. There are seven people and seven paths, which is hard to understand. Currently, the weakest team is the samba dance team. Not to mention a cheerleading team, it must be an atmosphere team. The combat effectiveness is indeed not high.
The Second Confinement Forest is purely due to its geographical advantage, otherwise they would have suffered a serious reduction in personnel.
Ted got the key information because of the system task prompt, and the others were also good.
Krum, this muscular guy, dug an ice hole in the Black Lake directly at the end of December and started winter swimming.
Drilling holes in the ice over and over again to adapt to the water temperature.
A group of little wizards wearing cotton-padded jackets were watching his performance nearby. Those who didn’t know better thought it was a strange winter swimming pigeon!
There is no need to think about it, Karkaroff is very good at sneaking into the camp, and he is shameless enough. He should have obtained the content of the game.
Ted and the others also need to be prepared.
Neville: "Maybe I can go to Professor Sprout's and get some gillyweed?"
Ron: “What kind of grass?”
Jerry: “What’s it for?”
Hermione: "It seems that if you eat it, gills will grow and you can breathe underwater."
Hallie: “How to solve the swimming problem?”
Malfoy: "I can't swim either..."
Ron wanted to mock Malfoy a few words, but when he thought about it, he didn’t know how to do it, so it’s okay~
Hermione thinks that the Head Bubble Charm might be useful, but how to solve the problem of low temperature?
Harley said: "I don't think those old men just wanted to test our ability to swim and hold our breath when they asked us to go into the water, right?"
“Yes, there must be something to do?” Ron shouted.
Jerry: “Didn’t I tell you to save the hostages?”
“That’s right, you have to do something while rescuing the hostages!” Ron shouted.
He was very annoyed that he had passed the previous level without firing a single shot. You must perform well at this level!
Ted reminded Neville: "Speaking of herbs, are there any of the new varieties of magical plants you have cultivated that can be used?"
"Uh... yes! It seems there really is!" Neville suddenly became happy, "There is a kind of vine..."
Neville developed a new species this year, a magical vine-like plant that can wrap around itself in the water and attack enemies. It even has thorns, and the thorns are poisonous. It can even be parasitic!
Neville: "I call it tangleweed!"
Ron rolled his eyes: "Please don't give such a scary thing an inconspicuous name. You might as well call it the Water Death Vine!"
Neville: "And there's more! There's also a water lily! A water mushroom..."
Neville is very knowledgeable about the magical plants he cultivated.
On the other hand, Ted also reminded Ron that a single or multi-person underwater vehicle can be developed, preferably with offensive and defensive capabilities. This solves the problems of swimming and low temperatures!
In the end, Ted left Jerry behind and gave him a handwritten copy of "Things the Holy Light Won't Tell You."
Ted: I see that your heaven is full of space and there is a spiritual light gushing out from the Tianling Cap. You are a martial arts wizard who is rare to see in a century. Take this secret book!
…
January 1st.
“Ding~The talent [Knowledge from another world (gold)] is triggered, and [Zuowangdao Layout Diary (red)] is discovered.”
[Zuowangdao Layout Diary (Red)] records the experience and insights of several Zuowangdao members who risked their lives just to have fun, and they also carry the art of deceit and deception. It requires 980 experience points to redeem.
Red quality!
Ted was immediately delighted when he saw the color. Then I saw the name...huh? !
Sitting and forgetting the road? !
Stop the system as soon as possible. If you don’t change it, goodbye!
Zi Wangdao knows how to write a diary? Who the **** keeps a diary?
Don’t open it and take a look—hehehe, you believe it, you believe it! You got Fooled!
Or: If you want to know your true past, come to us! You are the Yaoji we sit and forget~
Ted: I, I am Xiao Heizi?
impossible! Brother Chicken is in ruins!
Sigh, I didn’t expect that the knowledge about another world once a month would produce such a thing.
Ted simply gave up.
As January enters, each team seems to have learned about the assessment content one after another.
Many warriors were messing around on the edge of the Black Lake, trying to get into the water in various ways.
Those who are impatient will plunge into it with a sudden force, and when they wake up, it is already the pale ceiling of the school hospital.
In the middle of winter, dig a hole in the ice to launch water!
Which unscrupulous person would come up with such a level? It’s unpopular!
Ted also did a good job here and revealed the content that "may be the key to the exam" to Fleur early.
Since Wagadu came to attack him in the last level, he has also begun to cultivate hidden allies.
Durmstrang is impossible. Krum's muscular rod secretly works hard every time he sees him. Ted doesn't need to read his thoughts. The other person's thoughts are written on his face.
Besides, the only two favorites to win the championship are Hogwarts and Durmstrang. The competition between the two sides is very strong.
Wagadu obviously wants to attack himself, so he might contact someone else this time.
So, it would be good to win over Beauxbatons, who had a good relationship from the beginning.
Then there’s the Brazilian Samba Team. The remaining four of them seem to be a bit broken. The whole day was spent eating, drinking and having fun, and fascinated the young boys in school.
This is understandable. If you are not chasing the championship from the beginning, but participate in exchanges, it will be really easy and you don’t have to think too much.
…
On January 10, the official announced the content of the third level assessment.
The team needs to be broken up, and each warrior goes down to the black lake to find and rescue the trapped hostages.
Teammates were scattered, and they were alone in the cold and dark black lake, under attack from unknown magical creatures, to rescue the hostages.
There are originally mermaids, kelpies, Grindylows and the like in this black lake, oh yes! Why don't they have a giant squid!
And can the organizers not add any new materials?
If Ted himself were the organizer, he wouldn't be able to let go of this opportunity!
Do it more, how exciting it would be!
What is certain is that one person may not have enough strength to rescue the hostages. You can't even guarantee your own safety.
A certain number of people must be gathered.
And this number of people does not necessarily have to be teammates.
After all, if you cooperate with each other to successfully rescue the hostages, you can also get high scores.
But there is a problem with this kind of thing - if you are stabbed in the back, you are probably not far from being eliminated.
After all, getting a high score can avoid being eliminated, but if I kill you, I can directly eliminate you.
Hey guys, what a chain of suspicion!
The warriors have 5 days to prepare. On January 15th, the third level of the competition begins.
These five days do not seem to be for the warriors to prepare for the test. After all, most of the warriors knew the content a week or two ago.
More like it is for warriors to unite vertically and horizontally!
Forge alliances with each other and take advantage of the opportunity to kill the most threatening warriors. How wonderful this is!
Ted felt like he was being targeted, and there was a vague malice surrounding him every day.
However, there were also samba dancers Long Legs and Fleur who came privately to form an alliance with Ted.
It seems that he is still somewhat popular, and he is not entirely an enemy...
I went downstairs to throw out the trash around ten o'clock in the evening and breathed in the fresh air. It seemed like I hadn't gone downstairs for two or three days.
Well, what a life it is. pulpy!
Thanks to "Bi Lei Shen Ban" and "Tail Number 6736" for the 500-point reward, and "I have been offline" for the 400-point reward!
Thank you~
