MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 334 332. The first project

   Chapter 334 332. The first project

  Five days passed quickly.

During this period, Jon stayed in the carriage all the time. Even if he got out of the carriage, he would only wander around the area of ​​the Black Lake, so that the Aurors who were always guarding the entrance of the castle and staring at him as soon as they spotted him relaxed a little. Some hearts are on alert.

   During this period, the news from Leon that Jon was looking forward to came to nothing, which made him feel a little disappointed.

  However, in his plan, the Animagus was not used as an important means after the game, so although he was disappointed, it didn't put him under much psychological pressure.

   And when there were less than two days before the start of the first event, that afternoon, the entire sky of Hogwarts Castle was covered by the black shadows of more than a dozen huge monsters.

  Thestrals relaxing on the lawn flicked their tails restlessly. In the Forbidden Forest, countless flocks of birds soared into the sky and flew into the distance with a "crash".

  Many students on the carriage were startled by the movement outside. They got out of the carriage, looked up and saw the dozen or so dragons flying in the sky!

  Fire Dragon, a xxxxx-level magical animal, is considered the most powerful force among many magical animals.

  This kind of creature is not common, and it is even on the verge of extinction. In addition to the human occupation of nature, which compresses their living space, the main reason is that each dragon itself is a huge treasure house.

Dumbledore and Nicolas have jointly developed twelve uses of dragon blood. Dragon skin is an excellent armor used to isolate magic and protect the human body. Dragon eyes are a necessary magic material for some alchemy items. Even the nerves and heartstrings of a dragon can be used to make the core of a wand.

  Because of this, wizards have no way to leave the various precious materials attached to the fire dragon, and face the reality that dragons are about to become extinct, so the fire dragon sanctuary and the profession of dragon trainer came into being.

  The International Federation of Wizards has set up an organization specifically for this purpose to ensure the continuation of the fire dragons so that they can continue to contribute to the development of wizards. Among them, the European Fire Dragon Reserve is set up in Romania.

  While traveling in France some time ago, Jon heard from several of Ron's older brothers that the fire dragons in the Romanian Reserve seemed to have been bought a lot.

Looking at the fire dragons that covered the entire Hogwarts campus in the sky, and the dragon trainers who rode on the backs of the dragons and controlled them to hover over the Forbidden Forest, and finally landed with a crash, Jon knew that those who were bought What is the fire dragon going to be used for?

  George stared at the sky dumbfounded. This was the first time in his life that he saw a real live fire dragon, and he saw so many dragons at once.

  Whether it is the Hogwarts carriage or the students of Durmstrang, his performance is almost the same. After all, the scene where so many huge creatures appear together is really shocking.

  Diane swallowed subconsciously, and she could hear that she was trying her best to keep her voice calm.

   "Our first project, isn't it to fight these fire dragons to the death?"

  Although for the entire group of wizards, because dragons have a large target range and are solitary creatures, they are easy to be targeted and hunted, but that is on the premise that there are more than two digits of wizards working together.

Dragon skins have extremely strong resistance to spells, which is even far superior to basilisks. In addition, they are infinitely powerful and can breathe dragon breath with magical power. There is no other countermeasure.

  Even if ordinary black wizards use the killing curse, the extremely high magic resistance cannot kill them directly, at least the evil will to release the killing curse must be strong enough to a certain extent.

  If the four students participating in the competition were really asked to fight these fire dragons separately, then even Jon would be roasted into charcoal in all likelihood under the limited venue.

   It is precisely because of this that Jon doesn't think the referees will set up such a competition event that no one can complete.

  He looked at the forbidden forest where the fire dragon fell into, and said softly.

   "Compared to fighting dragons, I think they want us to have a wilderness survival in the Forbidden Forest."

   Jon's idea was confirmed two days later.

  The news that more than a dozen fire dragons flew into the Forbidden Forest spread throughout the ears of every student in the four schools within these two days.

  This makes them feel more excited and a little disappointed.

  Because if the venue of the game is stipulated in the Forbidden Forest, then they will definitely not be able to watch the whole process as spectators.

  On Monday of the second week of September, all four warriors of the Triwizard Tournament were gathered at the entrance next to the Forbidden Forest.

   Except for the four of Jon and the others, there were no other students watching, but full of adult wizards.

Dumbledore, Voldemort, Rozier, Beauxbaton's vice-principal, and three wizards from the Federation, a total of seven referees, three of them are sturdy dragon trainers with a bronzed skin that has been exposed to the wind and sun all year round , reporters from various European countries, and a dozen Auror security guards led by Lucius.

  The atmosphere at the scene was a bit dignified. Compared with the Triwizard Tournament hundreds of years ago, it lacked a lot of the friendly atmosphere of exchanges between schools, but it was full of chills.

  The warriors were gathered together, and their group photos were taken by photographers from different countries, and Matthew, who was the general representative of the referee, and the leader of the dragon trainers finally confirmed some hints about the fire dragon in a low voice.

   Everyone else did not speak, making the air seem to freeze for a while.

  Finally, with less than half an hour left before the start of the game, Matthew asked the reporters to disperse and summoned Jon and the others to the middle.

  His expression is serious, and his voice is raised, even in this open grass, everyone present can clearly hear it.

"The Triwizard Tournament was originally an exchange event between three magic schools in Europe, but since 1792, this competition has been suspended on the grounds that the competition posed an extremely serious threat to the lives of participating students. Injured or even killed almost every time."

   "Two hundred years ago, European wizards canceled this competition in order to eliminate unnecessary casualties, and two hundred years later, we restarted it again, also for the safety of more people!"

"This game is to avoid a war that cannot be solved peacefully! But war has always been cruel, and this game to eliminate war must also be cruel. We will not design games that are like child's play , in order to convince everyone of the final result and victory, you must face challenges and threats that are countless times more difficult than those of the warriors two hundred years ago."

  His eyes were as sharp as eagles when he was speaking, and his voice was not relieved and gentle, but only as cold and stiff as steel.

"I think, these may just be my redundant nonsense, because after you plan to throw your name into the Goblet of Fire, you have already made a decision in your heart. I will no longer care about your life and death in the competition, and the only thing that can be accepted by the wizards in the end is the victory!"

  The moment his voice fell, the birds in the Forbidden Forest soared into the sky, and a restless roar shook the forest.

  Draco, whose body had been tense all the time, took a step back subconsciously, Emil's face was also pale, Diane pursed her lips tightly, and looked at the deep Forbidden Forest without blinking her eyes.

Even Jon was a little nervous. He was not afraid of such a battle, but quietly held the thing worn around his neck, thinking about how Matthew should check them before entering the Forbidden Forest Work.

   "Now, let me explain what you need to do for the first event."

  Matthew finally started to talk about the detailed rules of this game.

"I believe you all already know that a group of big guys came to the Forbidden Forest in the past two days. They are all wild and untamable fire dragons from Romania, and they were arranged in various positions in the Forbidden Forest. At the same time, the dragon trainer They helped us drop a total of fifty golden snitches around the territory these fire dragons have delineated."

"These golden snitches have been given specific magic. They will not fly away from the territory of the fire dragon. What you have to do is to capture as many snitches as possible under the protection of the big guys here. In the end, we will follow your The number of snitches obtained is sorted, and the one who gets the most snitches will get 70 points, the second place will get 50 points, the third place will get 30 points, and the fourth place will get 10 points. And the time of coming out of the forbidden forest , will also be used as your scoring standard. You have to stay in this forest for at least three days, and the person who comes back first will get 40 points, the second person will get 30 points, and the third Twenty points, the fourth ten points. The deadline is seven days. If after seven days, someone still has not returned in the Forbidden Forest, no matter how many golden snitches he gets in the end, the score can only be 0. "

  The rules were formulated in great detail, and the specific content did not exceed Jon's expectations. Staying in the Forbidden Forest for at least three days basically allowed them to survive in the wilderness.

Moreover, it is not difficult to see from the rules that the designer of this project still focuses on allowing the participating warriors to catch as many golden snitches as possible, but the control of points in time also makes speed a bonus point. The important indicator, regarding the trade-off between time and quantity, depends on how the warriors make their own choices after entering the Forbidden Forest.

  After all the rules were clarified, Jon and the others officially began to prepare for entering the Forbidden Forest.

A table was placed in front of each of them. Matthew flicked his magic wand lightly, and the robes on their bodies fluttered, as if blown by a strong wind, and then some fragments that were placed in the clothes were all blown away. fell on the table.

   Matthew took the other two referees from the federation and began to check from Emil one by one.

   "Is this a memory ball?"

  The African witch picked up a small ball on the table and asked in broken English.

   Emile replied blankly.

   "This is just an ordinary souvenir, given to me by my grandmother."

   "We don't intend to inquire about its function, what we want to know is does it contain magic power?"

   "Don't know, but I don't think so."

  The Arab diplomat obviously doubted what Emil said. He picked up the ball and tapped it lightly with his magic wand, and then the whole ball lit up with a light blue light.

  He looked at Emil meaningfully.

   "It seems that you don't know much about it, Mr. Lestrange, do you need us to keep it for you, or do you appoint a custodian?"

  Emir didn't show much embarrassment on his face, he looked at Lucius who was standing once.

   Lucius coughed lightly, then took a step forward, and took the ball from the Arab diplomat.

   "Let's put this thing with me temporarily. After the game is over, I will hand it over to him."

   The three referees looked at each other, and none of them had any negative opinions.

Then they walked up to Diane and picked up a bracelet from the table. The bracelet seemed to be made of metal, with a silver coat of arms on top. It didn't have any distinctive features on the surface. .

   "This is the family crest of the Rozier family. Apart from a symbol of status and honor, it does not have any magic attached."

   It was not Diane who spoke, but Vader Rozier standing beside Dumbledore.

   Matthew nodded in agreement, but still picked up the bracelet and did a test. After confirming that she was not lying, he returned it to Diane.

   Then there was Draco, who had nothing to carry except a wand, which saved the judges a lot of trouble.

   Finally it was Jon's turn.

  There is a strange pendant on his table, a badly worn wooden signboard and a ring inlaid with three blue diamond-shaped gemstones hanging from a red rope.

"these are?"

  Matthew picked up the pendant in front of Jon.

   "The wooden sign is a gift from a friend of mine, and the ring is left by my family."

   Jon said calmly.

   "They're all ordinary things."

  Matthew glanced at the wooden sign first, and then lost interest. This thing is difficult to fake, and there is really no magic feature on it, so he directly focused on the ring.

   There are quite a few alchemy items in the wizarding world of this kind of thing. Just by observing with the naked eye, he couldn't see anything weird. Instead, he directly raised his wand and tapped it lightly on the ring.

   Nothing happened, as if the ring was just a Muggle product.

  Finally, Matthew returned the pendant to Jon, and after taking it back calmly, Jon quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This ring is as indistinguishable as a stone on the side of the road to those who are not up to the will, just like what Slughorn said when he handed it to Jon at the beginning, maybe except Jon, the entire wizarding world No one can use it anymore.
