Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

Fleur frowned, she didn't seem to know what Fudge was implying

Not only Beauxbatons, but the warriors of Hogwarts and Ilvermorny were also a little puzzled by this.

But Ouagadou's Dembele was thoughtful, and whispered a few words to Sankara, seemingly thinking of something; while Durmstrang's Krum and Christopherson had a tacit understanding They nodded at each other—obviously, they had figured out the key.

Hearing Fudge talk about the "interactive program", Lee Jordan's voice came out of the paper cup speaker in due course.

"As Minister Fudge said, audience, now let's play an interactive game - you can guess what these missions represent, and what will they bring to the Warriors in the third round. Advantage.

Those who think of the answer can write it down, fold it into a paper airplane and send it to the studio. The first three viewers who get the answer right can get a small gift carefully prepared by the preparatory team of the Big Five Tournament... Well, the warriors have started to compete !Let's get started too! "

Chapter 320 The number 7 is indeed the most mysterious

Under the surprised eyes of the Hogwarts students, Hermione Granger took out her quill and wrote a few lines on the paper.

Then, she folded the piece of paper into a paper airplane, took out her wand, and waved it vigorously, and the paper airplane obediently flew to the studio, where Jordan was introducing the warriors The situation over there.

"Let's see... After a heated argument, Porter and Digory both rejected the other party's offer of sweeping 11 stars, and instead bought two sweeping 9s, and the remaining For the money, they all bought pet food... That's right, anyway, this money can't be brought to the next round.

Let's look at their choice of the first mission - aha, no accident, it's a salamander, anyone in their right mind will choose this first, they don't have to go far, just use magic to light a fire, and wait for the fire Lizards are born automatically. "

The students at the scene also let out a burst of knowing laughter-indeed, the option of salamander is undoubtedly the benefit of the first choice.However, this benefit was obtained in exchange for the victory in the first round, so it is not too much.

"No.2 is Ilvermorny... They also bought two sweeping 9-stars, and the first one they chose to deal with was the horned camel. However, considering that the horned camel is docile when it is not attacked, maybe this task is not worth it. It is as difficult as imagined.

Look at Durmstrang again... two people only bought a sweeping "star, they chose o... oh my god! They actually chose Hydra directly!"

Without Jordan continuing to speak, the audience watching the game also let out a burst of exclamation, and these people even included the two Muggles.

The Twelve Trials of the hero Hercules are well-known and well-known in the West, and Hydra, the hydra, represents the meaning of this family in Western heraldry.

His ancestors once defeated powerful enemies. As a British politician who still often deals with nobles, heraldry is also a must.

"Uh, although it's not the time to say this, but that thing...you don't seem to have reported it." Major looked at Lockhart.

"There is already one in the UK, in the Rannock Swamp in the Scottish Highlands. We don't need to report it." Lockhart said with a smile.

Major narrowed his eyes: "What you said made my heart jump. How many dangerous animals are there in the UK that we don't know about?"

"Since you haven't heard of it before, it means we're doing a decent job."

Lockhart looked around while talking - he had clearly made an appointment with Sirius, but this guy still didn't come over, and he didn't know what the hell he was doing.

Regardless of whether Sirius will come or not, the preparatory stage of the competition is gradually coming to an end—the two girls from Beauxbatons chose to buy a sweep of 9 stars, and the rest of the money was spent on pet food.As for the task, Fleur Delacour chose to obtain the unicorn tail hair.

"Unicorns... Beauxbatons has two 'pure' girls who will take advantage of this project. " Lee Jordan introduced loudly.

The last Waggadu Warrior to appear did not buy a broom, but spent all his money on pet food.

And the first task they chose was to deal with the Wicked Bird that also multiplied widely in Africa.

Just as the audience was wondering how the two of them were going to get to the temporary habitat of the Witchbird without a broom, Sankara, the warrior attendant, had begun to transform.

He turned into an African eagle that is very common in the south of the Sahara, and at the same time, Dembele also turned into a giant mosquito that the audience had already seen, and then flew to the head of the eagle

on.

"Ah... It seems that our African warriors don't need a broom..." Lee Jordan sighed, "In this way, they may not be as far behind in the first round as we thought..."

In addition to the broom, each warrior also got a small bag of pet food, the kind that has cast a traceless stretching spell. If they want to defeat the strong with the weak, they have to use the contents inside.

Due to the limited time, the warriors set off immediately after receiving the task, and this time they were followed by a new gadget developed by the Experimental Spell Committee of the Ministry of Magic-magic eyeballs that can be tracked remotely.

In order to prevent the audience from standing still, while Cedric and Harry went to light the fire, Lee Jordan remembered the audience letter that had just thrown the paper plane.

"Mr. Codoli from Devon believes that except for the salamander (salamander), the other eight magical creatures have real bodies and are obviously different. Therefore, the one who catches the salamander should win directly... oh, that's impossible , if this is really the case, then this competition will become a shady competition..."

As he spoke, he made an exaggerated grimace: he made the people who were watching the game laugh.

Afterwards, Jordan picked up the second paper airplane, opened it, and read the words on it.

"Mr. Ponnet swears in the letter: When he made a bet on the third round: the warriors will fight side by side with the magical creatures selected in this round oo Very creative idea, unfortunately wrong, I hope when you place your bet Didn't throw too much."

He threw away the second letter casually, and then took out the third paper airplane.

""And Hermione Granger from Hogwarts... Ah, it's Miss Know-It-All, let me see... Sure enough, Miss Granger answered correctly!She was the first person who guessed the meaning of the game!

She will receive an exquisite gift bottle of specially made beauty potion sponsored by the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists. It can make a man or woman's skin and mental state adjust to the best, and the effect lasts for 5 hours. It is the best choice for attending the ball! "

Facing the envious eyes from left and right, Hermione shrugged rather Versailles:

"I'm not interested in that stuff, I'm just enjoying reasoning."

Seeing that Hermione guessed the meaning of this match, Lockhart was not surprised at all, and even took it for granted.

"You two might as well guess it, there is also a prize for guessing right." Lockhart joked to the Prime Minister.

"Really?" Major looked enthusiastic, "Then I guessed?"

"Please tell me." Lockhart didn't take him seriously at all.

"Okay, let me take a guess... not too sure what a 'horned camel', a 'rune snake', a 'pentapod' are, but I'm guessing... each of these animals represents a number Bar? asked Major tentatively.

Lockhart was very surprised: "How did you guess that?"

Lockhart would not be surprised if the person who guessed was a wizard proficient in runes (ancient runes), such as Hermione.But if the person who guessed was an ordinary wizard, Lockhart would still politely praise the other party for his wit.

But Major was a Muggle!

Seeing Lockhart's surprised expression, Major knew he had guessed right.

He is a little proud: "Ha, look... I read a lot of fantasy literature in school, I know what a Unicorn (Unicre) is, and Uni has the meaning of "alone".I haven't heard of the "Quintaped" 7, but judging from the name "Quint (fifth)", it should be related to the number five.Plus I know Hydra has nine heads, so..."

He didn't say acromantula because ^Acrmantula,J doesn't have

It means "eight".

"So you only understood these three." Lockhart understood.

I have to say that the Prime Minister is really hitting the right button.

Because the invisible beast can be invisible and "disappear", it represents the number "0" in runes.The unicorn represents "steel", while the horned llama is considered a "2' because of its two giant leaning horns, the three-headed rune snake represents a "3', and the witch bird with four feather colors represents a "4" , and the salamander, which can only live for 6 hours after leaving the flame, represents the number 6

As for the five-legged monster, acromantula, and hydra, not to mention, they represent 5, 8, and 9 respectively. Only the most magical number "7" has no reference in the runes.

So this second game seems to be to deal with magical creatures, but in fact it is just for these warriors to collect "wisk characters". And the "wisk characters" they collected in this second game will be used in the third game It gives them a huge advantage in the game, and the bigger the number, the better.

Because Durmstrang is in Northern Europe, they have a better understanding of the runes that originated in Northern Europe. Krum and the others almost immediately thought of the numbers represented by these magical creatures, so they chose it without hesitation. largest number 9

While the venomous Hydra can be a hassle to deal with, the payoff is huge, and considering the broom's travel speed, it's best to travel as little as possible.

It's a pity that even Muggles can guess it, but those wizards...

Just as he was thinking, Jack Pea's bean vine elevator sent another person to the rooftop.

"You're here." Lockhart waved at the person coming, "Sirius, this way!"

Chapter 320 Six Maybe You Can Try

Regarding this meeting, Sirius obviously didn't take it seriously, or he didn't take it as seriously as Lockhart.

Not only was he undressed, he was even dressed in the casual clothes he usually wears when he's running around, his hair was untrimmed, and there were dark circles around his eyes from last night's hangover.

"The game shouldn't have officially started yet, right?"

He yawned and sat down next to Lockhart while talking. As for the two powerful Muggles, he didn't even bother to glance at them.

"It has already started, and the other warriors have already set off." Lockhart pointed to the screen in front of him.

Only then did Sirius perk up: "Then what are Harry and the others doing? Lighting a fire?"

In the picture, Harry is walking out of the Forbidden Forest with a large bundle of firewood in his arms, and he is walking straight to the lake.

Cedric had already dug a simple fire pit by the lake when he went in, and built a circle of stones beside it to form a furnace, and built a small ditch leading to the lake, and used bricks to blocked.

As long as the fire is out of control, he can kick the bricks away and let the lake flood the firepit.

"It is everyone's responsibility to use fire safely." Lee Jordan commented humorously on this, "It seems that only my own family will feel sorry for their own forest."

Harry threw the firewood into the pit, then raised his wands with Cedric

Burning flames!

Harry shouted.

"Rapid heat up!" Cedric also shouted.

Harry managed to raise the fire, and a bluish-white mist spewed from the tip of Cedric's wand.

Although Harry didn't know what the fog was, he could feel an astonishing heat wave blowing on his face. The temperature reminded him of the scene when he went to the steel factory to visit the furnace when he was in primary school. The temples of the glasses were roasted a little hot.

"Stand back, Harry," Cedric called. "This is Burning Cloud."

Harry obediently took several steps back, and didn't stop until his sweat could flow instead of being evaporated directly.

"This is the most powerful magic flame I have ever seen." He said to Cedric

Cedric smiled modestly: As far as I know, "Vulcan's Split" and "Fiendfire" are both more powerful than this, but unfortunately I can't use them. "

The production speed of the sand Roman snake depends on the intensity of the fire and the concentration of magic power contained in it. The two of them work together to light the fire to make it appear and lay eggs as soon as possible

But it was precisely because of this that they had to do this outside, otherwise if they accidentally lost control, the entire Hogsmeade might be burned by the fire they lit.

As the fire rose from the lake, Mrs. Rimington didn't even have to watch the screen broadcast to feel how intense the flames were under the smoke rising in the distance.

She glanced worriedly at the Prime Minister's side, only to find that Major's expression was similar to her own.

And Prime Minister Major didn't have to deliberately guess, he could tell what she wanted to say just from Mrs. Rimington's expression:

Even if these two wizards are not yet of age, they also have the ability to have a big

The ability to build a fire, and it is also a fire that the fire brigade cannot control in a short time.

Mrs. Rimington has already experienced Lockhart's "apparition", and knows that wizards have the mobility of large-scale transfer, and if this mobility is coupled with the ability to raise fire out of thin air, it will bring The destructive power of the will not be assessed.

She now only hopes that these two "warriors" are among the few outstanding wizards. If every wizard has this ability, it will be too frightening

Cedric and Harry knew nothing about the minds of the female Muggle intelligence chief. What they were most concerned about now was how to make this magical flame burn more vigorously, so that the salamanders could be born as soon as possible, so that they could rush to pick them up. next task.

After the last game, the Warriors finally knew that the whole game would be "live broadcast". The Warriors of Waggadu were scolded by the principal for making a fool of themselves in public, so now Harry dare not do any "live broadcast". Disgraceful" thing.

But staring at the tumbling flames in front of him was boring, and Harry didn't want to just sit there, so he started looking for something to say:

"Cedric, I remember that salamanders disappear when they leave the fire, don't you? Hagrid said that."

"You remember correctly, what's wrong?"

"Then why can the salamander's blood last for more than six hours?"

Cedric replied without hesitation: "You must not have listened carefully to Professor Snape's lecture. To preserve the blood of salamanders, you need to use a thick crystal bottle with a special rubber stopper instead of a wooden stopper... hiss"

Seeing Cedric stop suddenly, Harry quickly cast his eyes on the ball of magic fire, but found nothing.

"What's wrong?" he asked softly.

Cedric looked serious: "How could I suddenly forget such a crucial question. Professor Babling clearly said in class that the Salamander (Salamander) was born in ancient times.

Numbers are represented in the code

Harry looked a little awkward—he didn't take Ancient Runes as an elective, so he couldn't answer such a topic.

It's all Ron's fault. When choosing courses in the second grade, in order to save trouble, he chose some courses that were not very intensive.And Harry didn't know the details of these courses, so he had to choose them with his only strong buddy Ron, but he was cheated a little.

The Manghorde is 0, the Unicorn is the Hornhorn, and the Erruni Snake is 3..." Cedric kept muttering: "No wonder Krum directly chose the Hydra...

Hearing what he said, Harry finally understood: "In other words, the bigger the number, the better?"

"I don't know, but we can be sure of one thing—that is, we need to collect as many numbers as possible. These numbers may be useful in the third game." Cedric said nervously.

"Then let's go for the venom of the acromantia next? Besides 9, 8 is the biggest." Harry suggested.

Cedric shuddered: "Better not, Harry."

imitate why? "

"Only adult giant spiders have venom. The older the spider, the more poisonous its venom, and this venom can only be obtained from its venom glands..." Cedric had an ugly expression, "What's worse Yes, acromanders usually live in groups."

"so?"
