Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

"Counselor Christos, do you have any way to wake up those unconscious people?"

"I have confidence. Give me some more time."

"No problem, then, let's stop here for today."

Berkman just left.

"What a cooperative old man."

Lux had never worried about today's so-called consultation because he and the super veteran who was responsible for asking questions had a certain tacit understanding.

Some problems that should have been very serious were simply ignored by them.

"Ke really left me with a lot of trouble."

Lux turned on the computer he was used to using and checked the highest level of confidential information within XCOM.

Information about the Ghost Zoo.

"The huge hole left behind by the earth washed by the radiance of the universe cannot be filled by any physical means. Should it be said that it is worthy of being a treasure?"

Not long after Lux destroyed the Ghost Zoo on the same day, he discovered some abnormalities in the big white pit.

Therefore, he used the authority and power of the secret military organization XCOM to completely block off the area as quickly as possible.

On the surface, the place with remaining strange traces has become the development site of an emerging real estate property company.

With this reason or excuse, even if that place is completely closed off and people outside can no longer see clearly what's going on inside, not many people would be surprised.

No matter how curious they are, no one would rashly enter the heavily guarded blockade area.

"Whether it's magic or physical means, there's no way to fill that huge hole. Although the user of the treasure said that as long as we wait for time to pass, the abnormality over there should disappear naturally, but how long will it take? It won't take hundreds of years, right?"

Actually, Lux didn't care how long the place would be closed. Even if he was no longer in the human world, the human world would not rashly make the big white pit public.

As long as the white hole is not successfully filled, the anomaly over there will have to be kept secret.

"That big white pit seems to have rejected everything outside. Hmm, this place is very worth studying."

Lukes turned his attention to another sequelae left by the Weird Zoo.

That is, some XCOM members who were monitoring the situation remotely fell into a coma.

"These people must have seen the light of the universe, which is why they became vegetative and unconscious. Even if they only saw it for a moment, are they completely disabled? It's really scary."

Rux would not pity these people because he had warned everyone at that time.

Since they are unwilling to listen to him, no matter what these people originally thought, they deserve it.

Of course, since he had already promised the super veteran to try to save these people, he, as the chief of the magic advisory group, would still work hard to provide treatment.

As for whether it would succeed, he didn't know.

"After all, even if the person himself used this power, there is no way to wake him up."

Rux laughed unconsciously.

"These comatose vegetative patients are also a good research material."

Lukes turned off the computer and prepared to go out as a doctor to save people.

"anyway……"

Rooks glanced at the monthly calendar hanging in his private office.

"Today seems to be the day when the Goblet of Fire Tournament officially begins? I wonder if my dear companion is enjoying the wonderful campus life and activities?"

191 The Goblet of Fire Tournament Begins

Today is a major event in the wizarding world, the Goblet of Fire Tournament, in which almost all wizarding schools will participate, officially begins.

This year's Goblet of Fire Tournament was hosted by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and basically most of the competitions were held on the Hogwarts campus.

"It's so lively."

Conan was sitting at the opening ceremony of the Goblet of Fire Tournament. His position was in the middle and back part of the seating area for students of the magic school.

From this position, he looked around and saw huge crowds of people all around him.

These seats belong to teachers and students from different magic schools, as well as their relatives.

If ⒉!９°♂⒋△″岭＇·④③【伍∈」6⑷蒐, 搜∞. ｑUn:Turning around and looking at the back, the seats for outsiders were also full of people.

The entire venue was truly packed.

This open-air venue was opened up by Hogwarts on an open flat ground for the Goblet of Fire Tournament. Theoretically, it could easily accommodate more than 200,000 people.

But in the current situation, the number has obviously exceeded 200,000, and may be almost doubled, and it is possible that it is close to 500,000.

The Goblet of Fire Tournament currently being held is always a large-scale event in which all magic schools in the entire magic continent will participate, and it is open to the public. It is actually conceivable that there will be such an exaggerated number of people.

In fact, a few days before the Goblet of Fire Tournament officially began, in addition to students and teachers from other magic schools who came from different places, a large number of tourists had already come to Hogsmeade, where Hogwarts was located.

Even during the summer vacation, there weren't so many people in Hogsmeade.

Then, today, Hogwarts opened its gates at eight o'clock in the morning, and the tourists and guests who had been waiting outside for a long time rushed in all at once, making the entire campus extremely lively.

Other magic schools that came to participate in the Goblet of Fire Tournament, unless they arrived early or used magical means such as portals to arrive at the scene, would have no way to enter through the main gate of Hogwarts when there were so many people waiting in front of the main gate. They could only quietly go through the back door or the side door.

"It's so noisy..."

Conanshan found that he really preferred quietness.

It is more comfortable to watch this kind of super-large event that attracts thousands of people sitting in front of the TV.

Conanshan, who was well aware of how crowded this large-scale event would be, actually wanted to be lazy and not go to the opening ceremony of the Goblet of Fire Tournament at 9 o'clock today.

The school did not require students to attend the opening ceremony, and no teacher would call the roll, so Conan-san naturally wanted to continue lying in bed and sleeping in.

However, his enthusiastic friend came to him on his own initiative, and it was difficult for him to refuse at this time, so he had to put on a smile and attend the opening ceremony with his friends.

The friend here is Abbas, one of the few male friends Conan has in Hogwarts.

Abbas is a real social hero. He loves making friends and has many friends. Just like when he went to the opening ceremony today, he also made appointments with many classmates and friends to go together.

However, probably because he and Conan-san get along well and can talk to each other, when he participates in certain activities, he always remembers to look for Conan-san, who is considered a nobody in the eyes of others.

Most of the time, Conan-san would politely refuse, pretending to be a good student who was determined to learn magic, but in this situation, he really couldn't come up with a good excuse.

He could only helplessly get up from the bed, wash up as quickly as possible, and go out with his friends.

"It's finally time to start the opening ceremony of the Goblet of Fire Tournament..."

Not long after Conan sat down, the current headmaster and vice-headmaster of Hogwarts, as well as the two student council presidents, one male and one female, came on stage at the large ceremony stage in front of him.

The current principal, who was originally the vice-principal, gave a five-minute opening speech to all the guests.

Fortunately, the headmaster didn't say too much nonsense, and he quickly announced the opening of the Goblet of Fire Tournament.

bump!

Wow!

After the opening announcement, the orchestra hidden behind the scenes began to play a cheerful symphony.

Amplified by magic power, the music filled the entire venue, and even the audience sitting at the edge could hear it clearly.

As the background music sounded, dozens of magicians who were also hiding behind the scenes released magical fireworks into the sky.

"The opening act?"

Conanshan looked up at the gorgeous magical fireworks that could be clearly seen even in broad daylight.

The shapes of the fireworks exploding above the heads of the crowd were very distinct and familiar.

Those are the school emblems of different magic schools.

The fireworks depicting the emblems of different magic schools stayed in the air for a long time, lingering without dissipating.

The magic fireworks lasted for a full ten minutes before stopping.

The opening performance ended here.

"That's it? It's a bit short and weak."

Conan-san had originally expected there to be other opening performances after the fireworks, but it looked like it would end here.

He wasn't disappointed, he just felt that people in the magic world didn't really know how to do things.

He remembered that in the Olympic Games in his previous life, many host countries would do some fancy opening performances and some abstract grand performances at the closing performances.

Regardless of whether those performances are good or not, the gimmicks are definitely enough, and they are indeed memorable in many senses.

After the fireworks were set off, the student council president of Hogwarts announced on behalf of the headmaster to all contestants of the Goblet of Fire Tournament that they could go to different venues to compete.

The large number of spectators at the opening ceremony began to disperse in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff, and then went to different competition venues to watch the games.

"Ko, where are you going next? Do you want to watch Quidditch with us?"

Before Conanshan stood up, Abbas, who was sitting next to him, smiled and asked a question.

"Me..."

Before Conanshan could figure out how to refuse his friend, he caught a glimpse of a pair of small hands waving at him from the left.

"Xiao Nan!"

Over there is Comet jogging over there.

"Abbas, go ahead and don't worry about me. I'll talk to Comet."

Conanshan took the opportunity to say goodbye to Abbas.

Abbas didn't care. He waved to Conan Shan and walked towards his other friends who were waiting for him nearby. Then they went to the Quidditch field together.

"Xiao Nan, why are you here? Didn't you say you wouldn't come to the opening ceremony?"

Comet brought his good friend Irene to Conan Mountain.

"I was called here."

Conan-san had already agreed with Comet that he might be lazy and not come to the opening ceremony of the Goblet of Fire Tournament, otherwise this little girl would definitely be waiting for him outside the dormitory early in the morning.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished and he was still found.

"Xiao Nan, you don't have any plans for the future, right? Would you like to go with us to watch the 4 games?"

Comet blinked.

"it is good."

Conanshan naturally would not refuse.

Since we've already gotten up early, we might as well walk around and take a look at the Goblet of Fire Tournament.

192 Watching

The Goblet of Fire competition in this stitched world will last for a whole month.

Except for some special events, the Goblet of Fire Tournament will be held from Monday to Friday, and rest on Saturday and Sunday.

The competition time for each day starts at nine in the morning and ends at six in the afternoon.

If extra time is needed, it will be calculated separately.

During this one-month Goblet of Fire tournament, almost all participating magic schools will not have any classes.

Needless to say, the magic school responsible for hosting the Goblet of Fire Tournament has its entire campus used for the competition. All staff, not only professors and teachers, but even the cleaners in the school will be extremely busy because of the Goblet of Fire Tournament.

As for other magic schools that came to participate in the competition from different places, they basically brought all the students in the school, or they used specially set up portals to travel back and forth between two different places every day.

In other words, for non-participating students, the Goblet of Fire Tournament is equivalent to an extra month of vacation.

This matter has both advantages and disadvantages. For those seventh grade students who are about to graduate, suddenly having a whole month less of study time this year is certainly not good news.

Of course, the magic school will also respond flexibly.

Although there will not be any formal classes during the Goblet of Fire Tournament, additional lessons are available and students can study on their own.

So in reality, the holding of the Goblet of Fire Tournament will not affect the progress of students who are willing to learn, and the professors in charge of the seventh grade courses will also set aside time in advance so that students who want to seek help from teachers will not fall behind in their studies.

Conan, who is studying several different magic systems at the same time, also plans to find some time every day to study on his own, just like those seventh-grade students facing graduation pressure.

"Xiao Nan, you're really working hard."

In the crowded Hogwarts, Comet held his good friend Irene's left hand and went to a competition venue with Conan Shan.
