Chapter 303 301. You die
French Ministry of Magic.
As night fell, all the students present who planned to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament warrior selection had already thrown their names into the Goblet of Fire.
At seven o'clock, a banquet began.
After one hour, the selection will end, and at that time, the names of the selected warriors will be selected.
There were also more people at the scene. Almost all the magic governments in the West sent people to witness the selection ceremony. However, compared to the crowds at Voldemort's location, Dumbledore's side was much quieter.
But in fact, neither Dumbledore nor Hogwarts students care about such desertedness. As Voldemort's home court, it would be surprising if they did not have such treatment.
What really disturbed the students was that even now Jon hadn't shown up.
Neville frowned tightly, looked at Dumbledore who was sitting on the chair with a calm face, and hesitated to speak. Many students have been asking Dumbledore to confirm whether Jon will come here on time tonight , threw his name into the Goblet of Fire.
And Dumbledore has always seriously given an affirmative answer, but now it is less than an hour before the registration is over and the final candidate is selected, but Jon still does not show up.
This has to worry them.
Neville didn't ask Dumbledore again, but turned to McGonagall and said worriedly.
"Can we put the note with Jon's name in the Goblet of Fire and help him sign up?"
Mag shook his head with a serious face.
"This is not allowed by the rules, Longbottom. The registration requirements for the Triwizard Tournament must be voluntary by the participants themselves, and no one can do it for others."
Ron asked at the right time from the side.
"Is this rule a rule of the Goblet of Fire or a rule made by a person? If it is a rule made by a person, then we can let a person secretly throw a note with Jon's name on it."
"No matter whose rules it is, this cannot be allowed, Mr. Weasley."
While McGonagall taught Ron sternly, he put his hand into the pocket of his robe, and quietly grabbed the note that he had prepared long ago.
Ron looked disappointed, he seemed not very happy for McGonagall's conformity.
"Okay, let's make some preparations first. If Jon fails to arrive in the end, who of us will be chosen in the end?"
He looked at George, Fred, Neville, Hermione and more.
Except for the first and second grades who were not allowed by Dumbledore to sign up, the other third to fifth grade students all dropped their names in the Goblet of Fire.
Although each of them firmly believes that as long as Jon can come here on time and throw his name in, the cup will definitely choose him, but they will not refuse to take the responsibility they should bear because of this.
If an accident happens, no matter who the Goblet of Fire chooses, no one will be afraid to move forward.
But no one wants to see such an accident. Only Jon being selected as a warrior is the safest result.
However, time passed by every minute and every second, and it was less than 30 minutes before the end of the selection of warriors. Mag could no longer maintain the seriousness and calmness on his face.
She walked forward and came to Dumbledore's side, and exchanged glances with the old man who was still sitting in the chair very securely.
McGonagall clenched the note hidden in his pocket, looked at Dumbledore, but suddenly called out the name of a second-year student who did not sign up.
"Colin!"
Colin, who was holding his chin and looking enviously at the cameras in the hands of the photographers of the Magic News Agency, was taken aback for a moment, then stood up nervously and looked in the direction of McGonagall and Dumbledore.
However, Dumbledore shook his head at McGonagall with a smile on his face.
Mag's face turned pale.
"This will determine whether we can keep the fruits of our victory, Albus. We lost a lot of people to this!"
"I believe that I should understand better than anyone else the sacrifices and hardships that have brought us to this moment." Dumbledore's voice was extremely serious, "So believe me, what we need to do most now is not to do anything."
McGonagall stared at Dumbledore's blue eyes for a long time, finally gritted her teeth and turned around, returning to her seat.
Colin looked at her blankly and asked in a low voice.
"Do you need me to do something? Professor McGonagall."
Mag took a deep breath, and her voice became calm again.
"It's nothing, kid, sorry to bother you."
Colin scratched his forehead in confusion.
"It's okay, Professor."
The portrait of Slytherin was easily taken down by Jon from the wall.
He didn't put away the painting directly, but took him with him to the bronze door at the entrance of the passage.
"Sir, do you have other ways to get out? I was chased and escaped by your subordinates, and they are probably still blocking me outside the door."
Slytherin didn't hesitate in his answer.
"There is only this one entrance. If you want to go out, you have to go back the same way. I can only open the door for you."
Jon looked at the bronze door and fell into thought.
Regardless of Fox's current state, what is certain is that as long as he walks out through this door, he will inevitably face a group of Death Eaters besieging him.
But he had to go out from here. Faced with such a situation, Jon really had no good way.
He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of other solutions. Finally, he gritted his teeth and could only pin his defense on the almighty Nick.
With the help of the general solution to the other spells, Jon can basically not worry too much, but only the death curse cannot be counteracted by the solution.
Until now, Jon is a little uncertain whether Nick's petrification by the basilisk should be a happy thing or a sad thing.
If it weren't for Nick the Almighty, he would have died under the death curse many times.
And until now, I can only rely on Nick's help.
While taking Nick off his back, Jon tapped the wooden fish twice in his heart to save himself some merit that was estimated to be negative, and then blocked Nick in front of him like holding a huge shield.
But staring at Nick's frozen terrified face for a while, Jon couldn't bear it again, so he turned Nick over so that he could only see the back of his head.
"Okay, sir, open the door for me."
Slytherin looked at Jon's "defense" measures with a weird expression.
Hasn't he seen anything before his death? But even if he is so well-informed, he has never heard of anyone using a ghost as a shield.
But Slytherin didn't say much about it, as long as Jon took him out, he didn't care what means he used.
After that, he remembered the ugly "hissing" sound he had said to Jon at the beginning.
Under the command of Parseltongue, the bronze door slowly opened in front of Jon!
At the same time that the door was opened a crack, Jon heard a chaotic voice coming.
But he didn't have the energy to pay attention to what the chaotic sound was. After the door was completely opened to allow a person to pass through, the whole person was suspended five centimeters from the ground, and then rushed out quickly holding Nick!
The moment he passed the two bronze doors, the sound of the death curse sounded right in front of him!
"Avada Kedavra!"
Jon was very familiar with that miserable green light, but even though it was still a death curse, it was far from what he had expected at the beginning!
There were at least a dozen Death Eaters blocking him outside the door before, and there will definitely be other nearby Death Eaters rushing over. Even if some people were allocated to deal with Fox during this period, the people blocking the door Definitely not less than five.
But there were only two killing curses shot at Jon!
Not surprisingly, the two death curses all hit the petrified Nick, making a dull sound.
And Jon quickly changed his position the second he came out from behind the door, and flew towards the only passage in the direction of the maze.
At this time, he finally saw what the commotion was happening outside!
Polar bears!
Polar bears are everywhere!
Dozens of polar bears have broken into the open space deep in the maze, and they are fighting the Death Eaters bravely!
Ordinary polar bears, even if there were hundreds or thousands of them, would not be a match for these Death Eaters, but the dozens of them now are obviously different.
They are extremely vigorous and agile, and their minds are extremely sensitive. They clearly and constantly avoid the death curses shot by the Death Eaters' wands, while other spells selectively resist.
The white hair-covered skin obviously has strong magic resistance, and one or two shots of Shenfeng Wuying and Explosive Curse, which are a range of magic damage, hit them, basically like tickling!
Seeing these special polar bears, Jon instantly understood who was helping him.
Eric!
That young wizard who was Grindelwald at the Institute of Arctic Management!
Jon didn't waste this opportunity, he flew towards the maze more quickly, Fox was no longer here, but it certainly wouldn't just throw Jon away, the biggest possibility is that it was still hiding in the maze The Death Eaters circled them, not far away.
At this time, Jon also saw clearly the person who used the death curse on him.
Bella's face was covered in blood.
That wasn't hers, but that of a polar bear that she hacked to death with Shenfeng Wuying just now.
She raised her head, with a crazy grin on her face!
"Avada Kedavra!"
After seeing that the first Killing Curse was blocked by Jon, she used the second one without hesitation!
Bella's attack was not blind. Jon was blocked by Nick in front of him, but at this time he was already close to the entrance of the maze, and his sides were empty!
But Jon was not defenseless. The moment he heard Bella utter the death-killing spell, his whole body was suddenly lifted into the air again, almost his hair had touched the ceiling, and the killing-killing curse was just like that. He flew over with the soles of his shoes.
Not only Bella, Rodolphs also got rid of the two bears entangled him, and blocked Jon's only way with a cold face.
He knew Jon's flexibility very well, and he didn't use the death curse, but directly uttered the spell of transfiguration!
The next moment, the ice cube under his feet suddenly grew, and suddenly turned into a huge stone, blocking Jon's way forward.
But Jon still didn't dodge or dodge, he just rammed straight towards the rock.
Just when his body was less than 20 centimeters away from the uneven surface of the stone, the universal curse attached to his body took effect!
Rodolphus' Transfiguration fails instantly!
The original huge stone turned back into an ordinary ice cube on the ground, and Jon had already flown to Rodolphus at this time, there was no time to cast a spell, but he kicked the stone directly without hesitation. On the belly of the dead!
Jon’s own strength is actually not that great, but the inertia of flying increased the strength of his flying kick.
Rodolphs was hurt by him for the second time, his face became bloodless the moment he flew into the air, and then his back hit the ice hard!
After completing this kick, Jon rushed into the maze while adding the Death Curse casually without looking back.
His Killing Curse lacked some anticipation, it just hit the ice wall where Rodolphs was hit, and he himself had fallen to the ground again.
Bella grabbed her husband from the ground, her voice was extremely shrill, and at the same time, she was mad.
"He must be killed! The master said that no one can enter that door. Since he has entered, he must die!"
Rodolphs coughed heavily, then patted Bella's hand, but did not disobey her command, took out the broomstick with her, and chased after Jon in the direction where Jon left.
Yes, Jon has to die today.
This is not only because Jon entered that door, but also because his master gave him a death sentence!
Just killing the boy would guarantee many of Voldemort's arrangements, whether it's the arrangement here in the North Pole, or the arrangement in France, or the arrangement in England.
So Rodolphus knew very well that Voldemort only gave him one choice.
Either the boy dies today or he dies!
Jon certainly doesn’t know how Rodolphs and Bella are determined to kill him, but he understands how dangerous the current situation is better than anyone else.
This maze is full of Death Eaters, and now the only thing that can get him out of here is a creature!
"Fox!!"
Jon's shout using the Amplifying Charm echoed in the icy maze.
