Chapter 442 This competition is absolutely fair and just
The wizards' mobility was frighteningly high, and those in the tavern clamored to eat the grilled fish served in the curtain.
And many families were watching the game in the living room, and the children had already quarreled.
How can you bear to refuse when you face the children’s big, watery eyes?
Do it! Must do it!
If you can apparate, go to the mall immediately and buy fish. If you can't, use the fireplace.
When they arrived at Diagon Alley, they discovered that the shop selling food ingredients was blocked.
That day, the smell of grilled fish filled the entire Diagon Alley.
Zhang Xiao, who unintentionally started a trend, didn't know that Diagon Alley was already occupied by grilled fish. He made another bowl of rice, sizzling with the grilled fish and chili sauce, and enjoyed it.
Then he cleaned up the surroundings and lit the fireplace in the house under the puzzled eyes of the audience.
After setting the alarm clock, Zhang Xiao lay on the small bed and covered himself with a small quilt that looked very comfortable. A nap was indispensable.
Feeling the warmth brought by the dancing fire in the fireplace wrap itself up, Zhang Xiao closed his eyes.
ah?
The confused audience looked at Zhang Xiao who was getting ready to sleep and could only remain silent.
Ludo Bagman's voice was dry, and he obviously didn't know how to explain, so he could only smile awkwardly:
"Haha, Zhang's behavior is always so unexpected. It seems that he feels the need to take a nap to restore his strength."
However, the teachers at Longhu Mountain quite agreed with this and felt that this was normal.
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and the Daomen's fighting skills are first-rate.
In the whole world, no one can do it right in a fight. Why?
Isn’t it just that we don’t fight unprepared battles and recharge our batteries?
What happened to Xiaoxiao just now has shown that it is not safe in the ruins, so keeping up your spirits is the right way.
Master Zhou likes to comment very much, and at this moment he couldn’t help but praise:
"Old Zhang, your eldest grandson is not very old, but he is steady in his work and not impetuous. Good!
It seems that there is someone to succeed this Heavenly Master, which is a blessing for the Taoist sect! "
The Heavenly Master paused for a moment and didn't know what he thought of. He laughed loudly, which surprised Master Zhou, but he thought it was because he was happy to see his junior excelling. He just picked up the melon seeds again and ate them while chatting.
Seeing that the warriors from each school had returned to the sea, Dashilval suddenly stood up and walked out quietly, which shocked the other principals.
Then I didn't know what I remembered, and with eyes twinkling, they all stood up and left. Some of the principals who wanted to save face muttered something in a low voice about drinking too much water and feeling tired after sitting for too long.
After a while, only Dumbledore was left in the entire tournament committee seat. He didn't care at all, but had a faint smile on his face.
As if he had seen through everything a long time ago, he emptied the cup, replaced it with tea leaves, and took out a small bag of melon seeds. He kneaded them unskillfully. With a kind of elder's relief and joy, he watched his little wizard cautiously And carefully explored the ocean that had never been before.
They've really grown a lot.
Martins sat on the stone monument, feeling increasingly agitated. It had been more than two hours, and there was no clue at all.
Kazan's coat provided perfect protection, but it could not relieve the pressure in his heart. When he thought of facing the seemingly friendly, but actually very terrifying Da Silva, the heavy pressure lingering in his heart suddenly became heavier. .
Suddenly his eyes were attracted by something in the distance, which was a plant similar to seaweed, but Martins seemed to have seen something incredible.
This is a plant endemic to Kastrobusjo. How did it appear here?
Principal Da Silva suddenly appeared in Martins' mind. Could it be that
He looked around furtively for a while, then pretended not to notice and retrieved the group of plants.
He put it in the palm of his hand and squeezed it. Sure enough, the middle of the plant was hard, as if something was hidden.
Martins took out the contents and stuffed it into his mouth very naturally. After chewing it, Da Silva's voice immediately sounded in his mind.
"idiot!"
As soon as he spoke, these two words made Martins a little panicked, but soon his face turned red and he looked down at the stone under his butt in disbelief.
What? The clue was right under my ass all along? ? ?
What? Creating an environment where you can rest underwater can save a lot of time? ? ?
After listening to the principal's message, Dashilval's face turned blue and white. He stood up. Just as he was about to summon his teammates, he suddenly felt that if he discovered the clue immediately, wouldn't he be exposed as cheating?
Smart Martins decided to pretend to look for it for a while, and when he came back, he pretended again that he was interested in the stone under him.
In this way, clues can be ‘discovered’ naturally.
The plan goes through!
Martins nodded with satisfaction, I am so smart!
At the same time, warriors from various countries also received various "mysterious help". After resting for a while, they once again jumped into the water with confidence with "various supplies grown in the wild".
This time, you will win!
"Harry, do you have any clues there?"
Ron dried his hair, wrapped himself in a blanket and sat by the fireplace in the ball. This was set up at Zhang Xiao's suggestion. Not to mention the fireplace, the comfort level immediately went up several levels.
Harry shook his head, stretched out his hands and feet, enjoyed the warm firelight, frowned and said:
"I have been searching nearby for a long time, but there is nothing but stones. I suspect there are no clues here at all."
Cedric and Neville also nodded silently. The six of them rummaged around and found nothing.
Hermione's delicate eyebrows were also twisted, and her shaggy hair was swaying irritably. She always felt that if there was a clue to open the door, it would be here.
But as everyone said, there was nothing around but stones.
Malfoy handed Hermione a cup of brown sugar ginger tea. This was a secret recipe he learned from China, which could help warm her up quickly.
"Is it possible that the clues are in these rocks?"
"On the rocks?" Ron made an exaggerated gesture: "You also saw how many rocks there are! At least tens of thousands!
If it's on a rock, when do we have to find it? "
Because they were in the hut, the alchemical magic ball was able to clearly convey their conversation.
After listening to Ron's speech, the audience suddenly found new fun and burst into bursts of good-natured laughter.
Because they knew the clue was on the stone, the audience couldn't help but cheer up and wanted to see if the little wizards could solve the difficulties they encountered.
In the seats where relatives and friends were watching the game, the Weasley family couldn't bear to watch and covered their faces.
Bill and Charlie frowned, Mrs. Weasley turned red, but Arthur couldn't help but be amused by his son, claiming that he must talk about this matter carefully when he returns from the competition.
Malfoy ignored Ron and asked a very crucial question:
"Guys, what do you think the clue should look like?"
Everyone began to think deeply, and after a while, Cedric said:
"I think the clues should be written down, right?"
Instead, Harry thought of the Muggle children's stories he had read, and his imagination opened up:
"Why can't it be a spell? Like Open Sesame or something like that."
Seeing the big guy looking at him with strange eyes, Harry scratched his head. Well, speaking in the water was not clear at all.
Hermione moved forward, lowered her voice, and said seriously:
"I think what Cedric said makes sense. If the thing that opens the door is very small and difficult to find, Dumbledore will definitely not set up such a difficult problem.
So I think it should be more conspicuous, but it tests our thinking. "
(Dumbledore in the stands couldn't help but smile in approval)
"So -" Hermione raised her face and said confidently: "Our goal should be to think about what is something that is both conspicuous and should have clues."
"Stele!"
A voice suddenly broke in (the audience suddenly burst into strong voices, Dumbledore also raised his eyebrows, and Master Zhou smiled happily)
Neville looked at his friends who were all paying attention and said a little embarrassedly:
"I think it might be a stone tablet - because -"
He didn't know how to explain to his friends that when he was in Wudang, his senior brother Gu Ying would tell him some Taoist stories when he had nothing to do. Most of them were very legendary.
For example, a young man accidentally entered the Immortal Cave in the mountains and obtained powerful magic weapons and techniques.
Neville was fascinated by what he heard. In the story, the caves of immortals are usually protected by formations, and the way to enter the mountain is written on the stone tablet at the entrance of the cave.
For example, playing chess or waiting for the right person.
So when he saw this underwater 'cave' (relic) surrounded by 'formation', Neville's mind immediately thought of the stone tablet.
Hermione's eyes lit up:
"Neville, I think what you are saying is very possible! Even if it is not a stone tablet, it should be something similar, at least - at least its appearance is relatively unique!"
After resting for a while, a few young wizards rushed out immediately. Among the gravels of different sizes everywhere, they found a different stone.
It was a large square stone. After they cleaned the mud and moss on the surface of the stone tablet, the words on it were immediately revealed.
Seeing the little wizards hugging each other excitedly in the water and waving their fists, the audience also gave warm applause.
Ludo Bagman finally has his place to shine again:
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us congratulate the warriors of Hogwarts, who are the second to discover the secret of entering the ruins!"
As he said this, he did not forget to make a joke:
"But I don't think they would choose to challenge the huge stone statue like Zhang did, because they have no intention of turning the stone monument over. The method of challenging the stone statue is written on the back!"
His guess was correct. The little wizards never thought that there was another method behind the stone tablet, and they did not use the repair spell to repair the stone tablet.
They were busy catching fish everywhere to prepare sacrifices, and the audience was also very interested in the process of offering sacrifices.
After finally catching a few fish, the six little wizards lined up in a row, holding the huge fish in their hands and kneeling on the ground. Their movements seemed to have touched something.
The two huge braziers suddenly burned with blazing blue flames, and the gravel on the ground shook and left the ground, quickly gathering towards the two giant statues.
They looked at the huge stone statues in stunned silence. They could actually move!
Just as the few young wizards were trembling for the stone statue, the stone statue stood up straight, and streams of light shot out from its eyes. The stream of light sank into the body, leaving a strange mark on their foreheads that looked like water waves.
Then the stone statues stood on both sides of the door and stretched out their hands to push open the huge door.
The little wizards cheered, opened their rooms, and slowly floated into the door.
At the same time, the audience suddenly discovered that several young wizards from other schools seemed to have suddenly enlightened. They found the stone tablets one after another and obtained the method to open the door.
They vaguely felt that something was wrong, but there was no evidence, so they could only make some suspicious murmurs.
Seeing those little wizards leaving the same marks on their foreheads as the Hogwarts warriors, they walked into the ruins with a smile on their faces.
This suspicion reached its peak when they took out various props to build a waterless resting point underwater.
Why couldn't I think of it before, but when I came back, I could come up with the same method as Hogwarts?
Just after returning to sea level, there was such a big improvement, as if I suddenly became smarter?
For this reason, the committee had to issue a statement, stating that the competition was absolutely fair and impartial, and there was no inside story or cheating.
In fact, several principals did write this. Hogwarts performed so well, and they all felt that Dumbledore must have told it in advance.
Otherwise, why would he be so much better than other warriors?
They are even regretting that they were too naive and only provided a little help. If they had known better, they should have come up with a perfect countermeasure like Dumbledore.
Dumbledore didn't say anything about this. He only had eyes for his own little wizards, only Zhang. It seemed that as long as they performed well, it would be the best thing in the world for this old man who wanted to retire.
As for other people, whatever they think, it doesn't matter.
"Jingle Bell Collar——"
The old-fashioned alarm clock chimed cheerfully.
A hand reached out from under the covers and pressed the stop button.
Zhang Xiao yawned, stretched beautifully, changed his clothes, and washed his face. He felt that all the energy and energy he had consumed before seemed to be restored at this moment.
He took everything back and looked at the huge building standing in the center of the ruins.
I glanced at the time on my watch, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.
He picked up the Narcissus and quickly jumped into the water.
Clear the level before dinner!
