Chapter 335 333. Forbidden Forest
When the time came, except for Jon, the other three subconsciously clenched their fists.
Before entering the Forbidden Forest, Matthew emphasized the last rule to them.
"Don't forget what I emphasized before. You can attack each other, but you are not allowed to kill each other during the game. After the game is over, we will use the flashback pre-curse check on each of your wands. Once found If you violate the rules, the results will be cancelled. And if you feel life-threatening during the game, you can release red sparks to the sky, and we will have special personnel to rescue you from the forbidden forest, but at the same time, it also represents the The score is zero."
When he said this, he obviously glanced in the direction of Jon. Obviously, among the people present, Jon was the most likely to violate this rule.
Not only him, but Emil and Draco are also watching Jon secretly. Only when this rule exists, they will not be so frightened when they compete. After all, Jon was covered in blood that night. Everyone is so impressed.
Just after Matthew finished preaching all the rules, he suddenly spoke concisely and plainly.
"Now, the game begins!"
In front of Jon and the others, facing the direction of the Forbidden Forest, there was an obvious light silver line on the grass, and as long as they walked into this line, it meant that the first competition event was about to start.
But at this time, neither Emil nor Draco moved. They were looking at Jon, obviously not daring to go in first, and put their backs in front of Jon.
Jon certainly saw what they were thinking, he shrugged, and said casually with his wand in his hand.
"Hey, since you are all giving way, let me go in first."
After finishing speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and just took a step forward, crossing the silver-white line.
He didn't seem to worry about being attacked by someone behind him, so he swaggered into the Forbidden Forest without looking back, until he passed through a dense bush and was completely in everyone's sight disappear.
At this moment, Emil and Draco breathed a sigh of relief. They turned their heads and looked at Diane together, and found that she was also staring at them vigilantly, as if as long as they did something to Jon directly If there is any sign, it will immediately counterattack.
Draco glanced at her proudly, didn't say anything, but turned his head and nodded to his father, and then walked into the silver line second.
Emil followed behind him. The two had obviously negotiated some things before, and now they are walking together after entering the Forbidden Forest.
Watching the two of them also walk into the Forbidden Forest, Diane, who looked alert, finally stepped into the Forbidden Forest.
So far, the four warriors have entered the arena, and they will stay there for at least three days until they decide the end of the game.
Watching everyone walk into the Forbidden Forest, the expression on Voldemort's face remained unchanged.
He didn't stay at Hogwarts Castle these days, but came back specially for the day of the match.
Dumbledore still looked at him with a smile on his face, but he didn't intend to communicate with him. Then Voldemort turned to look at Snape, and said calmly without lowering his voice.
"Look at the castle, you know I've always had high hopes for you."
Snape lowered his head and replied firmly.
"I will."
However, just as he was about to leave the school, a sudden voice suddenly interrupted the peace here!
"All petrified!"
In the direction where Jon disappeared, a red spell suddenly shot out from behind the dense bushes!
And the target of the spell is the direction where Emil and Draco left together!
The petrification spell instantly covered a distance of more than 100 meters, and before Draco had time to react, the petrification spell hit him with incomparable precision!
The next second, the boy of the same age as Jon was completely frozen in place, the last expression on his face was still blank and frightened, and then his stiff body fell straight to the ground.
Emil was obviously much quicker than Draco in reacting. Before the petrification spell hit Draco, he rolled on the grass in an extremely fast manner, dodging the attack ahead of time!
However, Jon's first target was obviously not him, but the second spell shot out from the tip of his staff again after the petrification spell took effect!
"Swoon!"
It was also a red light, and Emil seemed to have entered an unavoidable space. His initial misjudgment made him unable to turn his body around in the first place to avoid it.
But just when Jon's stun spell was about to hit him, Emil suddenly pulled the petrified Draco in front of him!
"boom!"
The impact brought by the spell overturned Draco's body, and under the despairing eyes on his face, the stun spell fully took effect, making him lose consciousness.
And just after Emil successfully used Draco as a meat shield to avoid Jon's attack this time, he quickly got up from the ground, turned around and cast a spell in Jon's direction, and turned around. Running towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest!
This attack only happened within a few seconds, and even the referees and Aurors outside the Forbidden Forest were stunned!
No one thought that Jon would strike directly at the beginning of the match, and directly knocked down Draco as soon as he shot!
Seeing this scene, Lucius couldn't hold back for an instant. He suddenly pulled out his wand, but after Matthew looked back at him, the spell that had already reached his lips was swallowed back by him again. into the stomach.
Voldemort, who had planned to leave directly, also stopped. He didn't show much expression on his face, but just looked straight at Jon.
Facing his gaze, Jon didn't have much fear. He didn't plan to continue chasing Emil, but walked directly to Draco, who had been hit by the petrification spell and the stun spell, with a faint smile on his face. , looking at everyone present.
"If I help him leave the Forbidden Forest, will he be disqualified?"
The scene was quiet, everyone in Voldemort's group raised their wands, and Lucius and the Aurors led by him all stared at Jon.
Soon, Voldemort spoke calmly to himself.
Jon had already grabbed Draco by the back collar, and in front of everyone present, he threw him out of the silver line without hesitation.
Lucius couldn't bear it anymore, he walked quickly to his son, hugged Draco, who was covered in grass and dirt, in his arms, then he looked at Jon, that His eyes were full of resentment and hatred.
Jon turned around indifferently and walked back towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest, while waving his hands with his back.
"Don't thank me, I'm actually saving him, Mr. Malfoy."
Voldemort stared at his back, never looked away, he said in a low voice that everyone could hear.
"I look forward to your performance in this game, Jon Green."
Jon's figure has disappeared into the bushes again, leaving only his reply to Voldemort.
"Thank you for looking forward."
All of this happened so suddenly that even Matthew, the three wizards from the International Federation of Magic, came back to their senses.
They looked at Draco who was being used by Lucius to break the curse, and couldn't help but look at each other. No one thought that one person would be eliminated within five minutes of the competition.
Jon's unexpected spells were too fast, not to mention Draco and Emil, even the adult wizards outside didn't have a few reactions.
When they looked at Lucius, many people showed sympathy. Anyone can see that among the four selected warriors, Draco's level is obviously not as good as the other three. People, and now it's just the beginning of the first competition.
The smile on Dumbledore's face remained unchanged from beginning to end. He watched Voldemort leave the school, then turned around with Rozier and left here.
During the game, there are special people who are responsible for watching. These referees from different schools only need to finally determine the result of the game and the fairness of the process. The middle judgment and rules are all in charge of the three of them, Matthew. .
Draco woke up soon after Lucius undid the curse. His face was pale, and he wanted to shrink his neck and hide his head in his jacket.
Lucius didn't blame him for anything, he just patted him on the back and whispered softly.
"This is indeed not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it can ensure your safety."
After Jon entered the Forbidden Forest, he didn't immediately go deep.
He clearly understands that this event is not so simple to complete, not only to face those fire dragons face to face, but the golden snitch as a scoring item is not something that can be caught casually.
In a Quidditch match, it's okay to have a broomstick. As long as your eyes are sharp enough and your reaction is fast enough, it's not difficult to catch the Golden Snitch.
Without a broomstick, even if you can cast a spell on it with a magic wand, it is not so easy to hit, let alone face the interference and attacks of fire dragons in the process.
So Jon is not worried at all about how quickly the escaped Emir can complete his goal, and for Jon, his purpose of entering the Forbidden Forest is far more than simply winning this project.
After confirming that he had disappeared from the sight of those referees, Jon took down the old wooden sign from the pendant on his neck.
Then just holding the sign like this, wandering around the periphery of the Forbidden Forest.
This is what Hagrid gave him. The animals in the Forbidden Forest are very sensitive, and they can easily recognize the wooden sign that Hagrid always carries close to his body.
And helping Hagrid to take care of those magical animals is tantamount to helping Jon himself. The aborigines here must know much better than him about the territory where the fire dragons are now occupying in the Forbidden Forest.
The Forbidden Forest really deserves to be the largest collection of magical animals in the UK. Jon has seen many magical animals that he could not see outside the world within a short while after walking in.
The Bowtruckle lying on the branches of the trees, the Bandimang hiding among the mushrooms, the hairy crab with long teeth, and the ugly vixen, which looks exactly like a crab.
Every time he met such a magical animal, Jon held up a wooden sign and leaned over to see if he could get close to them, but apparently none of the animals showed much kindness to him. After seeing him approaching, he All fled in a hurry.
After wandering along the perimeter for two hours, Jon has already begun to feel that his method may be wrong.
This piece of forbidden forest is really too big. Even Hagrid, who has been guarding this hunting ground for decades, may not be able to recognize every animal. He is holding this wooden sign and wandering here, which is tantamount to Find a needle in a haystack.
And just when Jon was thinking about whether he should try another method, he suddenly noticed a stare looking directly at him.
Jon turned his head and looked at the little thing lying on the tree trunk. The Bowtruckle shyly turned his gaze away, as if he didn't dare to meet his gaze directly.
But Jon did not give up on this discovery. He could clearly feel that the Bowtruckle's eyes were looking at the wooden sign in his hand.
He walked towards the tree and asked while shaking the wooden sign in his hand.
"Do you recognize this thing?"
The Bowtruckle didn't make a sound, but glanced at the wooden sign in Jon's hand, and then climbed down from the tree trunk.
It walked on the grass, and at the same time, it didn't forget to look back at Jon when it was walking.
Jon saw what it meant.
"You let me go with you?"
The Bowtruckle didn't respond, just walked forward again, then looked back at him again.
Jon just thought for a moment, and followed the Bowtruckle, and followed it towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
Even if this Bowtruckle wasn't Hagrid's friend before, he must have known Hagrid. Otherwise, such a cautious and magical animal would not take the initiative to communicate with strangers.
Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, Jon thinks it's better to follow it to see, maybe there will be some unexpected discoveries.
Although it is small in stature, the Bowtruckle is not slow to move. Jon quickened his pace to keep up with it. Soon the little guy stopped in front, and it climbed to a nearby tree, and at the same time Signaled to Jon.
Jon stepped forward, and then he saw some speckled silver liquid in a sunken pit on the ground.
