Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

This advertisement was thought up by the Ogden family long ago. Lee Jordan was still thinking about how to add this advertisement into it naturally and logically when commenting on the game, and Krum's active cooperation undoubtedly provided him with One of the best opportunities.

As for the shamelessness... Li Qiaodan no longer has any turmoil in his heart when he reads the advertisement again.It's like a salesperson who is just practicing shouting for customers on the field. After two or three times, you will get used to it.

"I didn't expect the commercialization of the wizarding world to be quite good... It seems that the advertising fee should be able to recover the cost." Major said to Lockhart.

"Hmph..." Lockhart sneered meaningfully twice.

He knew that the prime minister was trying to test the population of the wizarding world. After all, according to what Lockhart said earlier, the "Hogsmeade Regional Council", the population of the wizarding world is only about 1 people. The prime minister probably doesn't believe 1 people. Such economies of scale can be supported.

Muggles don't know that wizards have an extremely low Engel coefficient (food as a proportion of total expenditure), so the economic model they use to infer wizards must be wrong.

Because of Sirius' cheating, Lockhart thought that the wizards could show a little strength in this regard to make up for his own mistakes.

It would be better if they thought wizards could conjure food out of thin air

"Dobby!" he called to his feet, and we served some French dishes, the kind that were served to the guests at Hogwarts last time. "

"Okay, master!"

With a bang in the air, a colorful "tuanzi" appeared in front of the guests out of thin air.

This "dumpling" is, of course, Dobby the house-elf.

This guy has extremely poor aesthetic taste, and he is actually a "moonlight clan".

As soon as the money arrived, he immediately exchanged all his wages for hats of various colors, clothes, and most importantly, socks.

That's all for buying clothes, but the clothes it likes are those bright colors that Lockhart thinks are particularly vulgar.

But there is no way, as a free house elf, this is out-and-out "negative freedom", Lockhart has no right to interfere, as long as it works without problems, Lockhart has no reason to interfere with it dress up.

Dobby made a comical appearance in front of the two Muggle political leaders and managed to scare them.

At this moment, Lockhart could understand that some pure-blood wizards like to play tricks on Muggles, because it was so cool.

Chapter 320 IX Nothing Is Impossible To Complete

As the host, Lockhart treated the two Muggle dignitaries to a sumptuous lunch, which is not to say that he was not enthusiastic.

It's just that Mrs. Rimington ate a little absent-mindedly, even if Dobby's skills improved greatly after studying in the Hogwarts kitchen.

Because Lockhart once again disrupted the two's assessment of the wizarding world.

In addition to wizards, they can actually drive intelligent magical creatures such as the "Elf in the Tomb" to carry out production activities, which means that they can no longer use the pure population of wizards to calculate the combat capabilities of wizards.

Prime Minister Major ate very happily, because he never thought about going to war with wizards.

MI[-] is different - as the country's intelligence agency, they must make plans for all possible situations, even if the probability of occurrence is small.

For example, Argentina refused to admit defeat and suddenly decided to fight the Falklands War again; or the United States suddenly asked the United Kingdom to send troops to Iraq to resolve all kinds of dissatisfaction; or Russia suddenly decided to send troops to Ukraine, or even aliens to attack the earth. .

Although these things are unlikely to happen, they must make relevant plans in advance. "Worrying" is a kind of ridicule for others, but it is their job for intelligence agencies.

How powerful the wizard is, this is a question worth exploring further

Just as Mrs Rimington was cranky, Game [-] of the Big Five Tournament

And finally entered the most exciting moment

Krum and the others found Hydera's lair, and lured it out of the mud with a lot of food.

Then, the two of them took a broomstick while it was out to eat, and threw dried birch bark and pine needles into its nest, and set a fire there.

When the Hydra found something was wrong and dropped the food and came back, its lair had already turned into a monstrous sea of ​​flames, and the murderer who set the fire was nowhere to be found.

The pine needles and birch bark served only as kindling, and the magical flames of Durmstrang's warriors were no more than a firewood added to it, and the reason why the fire burned so big was mainly because swampy land.

Peat soil is rich in all kinds of organic humus and carbon deposits, and when it dries itself, it is the best fuel, so they just need to let the land dry out, and it will burn automatically.

Seeing that its lair was destroyed, the Hydra was naturally furious. Unfortunately, Krum and the others jumped on the broomstick immediately after setting the fire, and ran as far as they wanted, without giving it a chance to retaliate .

You must know that the blood of this thing is also highly poisonous. When it gets angry, the surrounding air will also be dyed into poisonous mist. Can't even breathe.

Especially since this is a Hydra from the Paleozoic Era, the largest one has eyes open on the top of its head, which can be breathtaking, no matter how arrogant Krum is, he doesn't think he can deal with it.

Unable to find the instigator, Hydera had to find a way to deal with his lair first, or it would be burned to the ground.

It came to a nearby swamp and rolled in mud, then rushed back to the nest and rolled back and forth. After the mud dried up, it shook off the mud and returned to the swamp to roll again Over and over again

Come.

After spending more than half an hour, Hydera finally put out the fire and kept the overall structure of his lair.

And it even got a blessing in disguise—its nest in the crevice of the rock was rolled with a layer of mud and then burned to form a whole block of impermeable carbon bricks.

It looks at its new home, although it is exhausted, it is still satisfied—at least it is not a white job.

When Hydera went back to the lair to rest, the two of them, Krum and the others, crept back to the scene of the arson without hearing any more movement, and found a few hydra scales from the broken mud everywhere.

Anyway, the task only needs scales, and they don't need to fight this thing.

Seeing that the two had obtained the mission props, Durmstrang's students finally let out a burst of cheers.

Though they are the slowest in completing tasks, they have the strongest things to deal with, so although they travel the farthest and take the longest time, they achieve the most.

Relatively speaking, although the five-legged monster that Beauxbaton dealt with was fierce enough, it was still much easier to deal with after all.

Fleur boldly used a charm spell on the five-legged monsters, and succeeded in making them think that Fleur was one of their kind.

Then, without Furong's hands, they tore off their own hair, and used them to make a nest, and then scrambled to court Furong's love, and even fought with each other.

Because of the human face on the back of the five-legged monster, it has been rumored in the wizarding world that it is the result of a blood curse in an ancient wizarding family, and Furong's performance today seems to support it.

Proof of this.

"Sadly, in the face of beauty, some people are no better than five-legged monsters.

"Hermione commented while glancing at the men who were booing, and these people even included Roin

Fu Rong got the five-legged monster's hair easily, but unfortunately she overplayed it accidentally. When she wanted to escape, the five-legged monsters rioted together and chased her together.

— One after another, magical rays of light sprayed from the five-legged monster's mouth, and because the broom was carrying two people, it couldn't fly fast at all, and Furong and the others almost overturned the car because of this.

If she does accidentally drop the broom and fall into the five-legged monster, then the following live footage will likely only be broadcast in some restricted places.

Fortunately, the magizoologists arranged by the Ministry of Magic acted in time: they sprayed hypnotic powder into the air, and finally let the five-legged monsters fall asleep one by one.

Fu Rong had no time to thank them too much, so she had to embark on the return journey. Because of time constraints, they might not be able to grab the next task.

After finishing observing these two groups of foreign friends, the camera was finally shown on the two Hogwarts warriors.

Originally, the habitat of the giant acromantia was not far away, but it took them a lot of time to find the entry point, and they had to be careful of the dense spider webs between the trees in the forest and the peaches.

Although setting fire to drive away spiders is a safe choice, as Lee Jordan said, only the family members know what they love about their own things. Neither Cedric nor Harry would set fire in the Forbidden Forest.

And the last method they used was a little risky—Cedric transformed a felled tree, and according to Harry's description, turned it into a basilisk.

Because he is a person who has personally experienced fighting the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, the basilisk conjured by Harry's guidance of Cedric's transfiguration can be said to be vivid "and full of details, even the fishy smell in the mouth and the hiss of the Parseltongue" out.

Harry knew that the most feared natural enemy of the acromantula was the basilisk, and their first reaction when seeing the basilisk would definitely be to run away instead of staying and besieging it.

For this reason, Harry also used the "sparkling pattern" magic taught to them by Lockhart, together with the "basilisk" transformed by Cedric, to scare the adult acromantulas.

Their strategy was also very successful—the acromantulas didn't dare to stop to identify the authenticity of the basilisk, but they scattered and fled the moment the "basilisk" appeared, lest they escape too slowly. You will be chewed in your mouth by the basilisk and turn into a crunchy chicken-flavored snack.

Harry and the others saw the right moment and attacked a single acromantula.

Harry used the Impeding Charm, and Cedric used the Stunning Charm, hitting the acromantula together.

Its companions didn't dare to help it at all, and they even felt grateful that some of their companions were finally killed by natural enemies-because in this way, after the basilisk was full, it would not come to find itself again.

The two Hogwarts warriors took the opportunity to drag the unconscious acromantula into a small bush beside the road, took out a large bottle and put it under its body, cut its gland open, and The venom was collected.

Chapter 330 I read a lot, don't try to lie to me

Sirius was overjoyed to see his godson successfully complete the "what" mission.

"Well done, Harry, now we have 8 and 6.

He yelled while patting the table, not paying attention to the other two distinguished guests at the table.

But Major didn't care, instead he pointed to Cedric and Harry and asked Lockhart curiously: "Are the two leading warriors us British?"

"Yes."

"Are they proud of it? I mean, how much do they identify with Britain?"

Unlike Mrs. Rimington, Major never concealed himself when asking this kind of question, because he thought that it would make it less likely for people to misunderstand that he had any malicious intentions.

Sure enough, Lockhart answered very happily.

"Both warriors are purebloods, but the one with the dark hair and glasses was raised in a Muggle family and received a basic education in a government primary school. As for the other...I believe he identifies with Britain, but The Britain he knows may be different from the two of you," he said.

Mrs. Rimington interjected curiously: "So, you are very clear about 'our cognition'? "

Lockhart shook his suit quite self-confidently: "To tell you the truth, my university is in Oxford, majoring in political science."

Needless to say, both Prime Minister Major and Mrs Rimington were taken aback.

"Oxford? Uh...you have them here too..." Major couldn't believe it.

"Either we have it, or that Oxford University... Ah, Ms. Rimington, don't bother to find my student file, you will never find it." Lockhart said with a determined expression.

Hearing what he said, it was not only the two Muggles who felt unbelievable, but even Sirius was surprised.

Wizards are not ignorant of Oxford University. Oxford was founded at the end of the 11th century, and then when it received royal patronage, it developed rapidly. Many wizards have also studied at Oxford University.

Only when the open-minded Middle Ages ended and Europe entered the dark Renaissance period, Muggles began a three-century anti-witch movement, and Oxford University, one of the study places for wizard scholars, also closed the passage to wizards.

For this reason, wizards had to pass and take effect at the end of the 17th century to protect themselves, and wizards have never entered the gate of Oxford University since then.

As the sacred 28 of the Black family, there are naturally some ancestors who studied in Oxford, but that was more than 300 years ago, and Lockhart went there to study again at some time, which made Sirius feel puzzled.

But Mrs. Major and Mrs. Rimington had a sense of sudden realization—if this wizard had also studied in Oxford, then his understanding of the Muggle world would not be so surprising.

"No wonder..." Prime Minister Major fully understood, "I just said, your wording and your style are so familiar to me, very close to those civil servants, I thought it was mine Illusion, did not expect..."

"I didn't expect to receive the same kind of education." Mrs. Rimington continued the Prime Minister's words.

Lockhart smiled and ignored her words.

He could even recount quite a few details of life at Oxford if he wanted to, but he wasn't sure that things were the same in this world.

With Cedric and Harry returning on broomsticks, the game finally came to an end.

If someone told the audience before the game that these dolls under the age of 18 could deal with Hydra and Octanthus and retrieve some parts from them, few people would believe it.

But the facts speak louder than words. Although these warriors are young, they do not lack in courage and wisdom when facing powerful enemies. "All were solved by several warriors one after another.

The Rune Snake is indeed difficult to deal with, but in front of African wizards who are familiar with its habits, it is a kind of luck that it can not die.

In fact, even if the wizards don't care about it, the rune snake will not survive to adulthood because the three heads like to attack each other. The warriors of Waggadu easily got it while the three heads were fighting. Egg.

So far, the only one of the 9 numbers that has not been obtained is that (C)

Because there are two sweeping 9s, and the places where the two tasks are completed are not far from Hogwarts, after Cedric and Harry retrieved the venom of the acromantula, they became the first to return to Hogsmoor. The man of Germany is even faster than the Ilvermorny warrior who only completed "2".

After handing in the task and confirming that they had obtained two numbers, they couldn't help but look at the last number "0" on the task list, which was the invisible beast.

It is located on Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, a little further west than Hogwarts.

Both Cedric and Harry hesitated, as they weren't sure if the risk was worth it.

The two of them are now holding 8 and 6 in their hands, which is already the largest sum of numbers among the warriors in each group. Even if they don't do this 0, they should be able to complete this round of competition with No.1 results.Even if they accomplished the task, getting a number "0" didn't seem to do them much good.

Besides, this "0" is too difficult to catch some-invisible monsters can not only become invisible, but also have certain prophecy abilities, so ordinary people can't catch it at all.

To venture to Britain's tallest snow mountain for a small, uncertain profit, and it's still July, is not worth the candle.

Seeing the Hogwarts warriors hesitate, the audience felt that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.They clamored loudly in pubs, theaters and other places, demanding that the two warriors leave immediately.

Even Sirius was no exception, he yelled "James won't back down here, Harry!", and jumped up and down the rooftop like no one else, watching the eyelids of "Mrs. M" follow his The action keeps jumping.

If such a person wants to come to work under him, then the future of MI[-] is not very good.

The two warriors looked at the time and found that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon. In theory, they still had time to go back and forth

I can totally understand if you don't want to go. Cedric said to Harry, "But as you can see, all numbers from 1 to 9 have been claimed, leaving only 0." "

"Let's go," Harry replied bluntly, "I'm going to get my invisibility cloak, we can use it to hide, and then use food to lure the invisible monster..."

Cedric shook his head lightly: "The invisibility cloak cannot block the prophecy of the invisible monster...

But now we really have no other good way, we can try
