Chinese students at Hogwarts

Chapter 461 The third round of competition officially begins



The little wizards silently digested what Dumbledore had just explained.

Like the first two rounds, the rules of the third round are actually not complicated.

Everyone will be scattered in every corner of New York, with no wands, no props, nothing, and survive for a week in the largest city in the United States, which is full of Muggles.

During this period, you need to disguise yourself and not be exposed.

After seven days, clues to where the wand is hidden can be purchased, with each clue worth $1,000.

Once you have the wand, you can head to the MetLife Stadium, and the first one to get there will be the champion.

The road to the stadium must not be easy to walk, and there should be obstacles. Even if you have a wand, you still have to be careful not to expose yourself.

The faces of all the warriors gradually became serious, with a bit of bitterness.

The difficulty of the third round doesn't sound difficult, but in fact it's incredibly difficult.

Wizards and Muggles look the same, but their living environments are very different.

Some of the warriors' faces were quite good-looking, and some were almost beaming with joy.

These are all children from mixed-race families, and a very small number of them are young wizards whose native families are all Muggles.

They know a lot about Muggle society, and at least they have received a complete primary school education.

In addition, there are the warriors of Wagadu. As the last magic school to use wands, they have always used hand gestures to cast spells before.

Although the magic effect and casting speed are significantly lower than that of the wand, in this case it is obvious that gesture magic will take advantage.

As Dumbledore said, not every difficulty comes with luck, and facing difficulties head-on without any pretense is life.

"If there are no issues, we'll portkey to the rendezvous point on the American side, so... anyone else have issues?"

A young wizard from Ilvermorny raised his arm hesitantly:

"Mr. Dumbledore, my aunt's home is in New York. Can I go to my aunt's home?"

Dumbledore was amused by this question, and he said cheerfully:

"As much as I'd like to say it's okay, it's clear that this behavior is not allowed."

Fleur Delacour also raised her hand:

"Professor Dumbledore, are the wands in each school hidden together? After solving the clues, everyone can get their own wands?"

Dumbledore's eyes stayed on her face, and he nodded appreciatively;

"Miss Furong, I appreciate your keenness. I originally planned to treat this matter as a small trap.

But since you brought it up——————“

Dumbledore nodded slowly:

"Unfortunately, as you can imagine, everyone's wands are hidden in different places, and if you need to buy them all, you will need 18 clues in total, which is $18,000.

Yes, since the Alchemy Talker has been removed, substitutes will also play this time. "

The faces of the warriors became increasingly pale.

In fact, most people think they can get everyone's wand by buying up to 3 clues.

After looking around the silent little wizard again, Dumbledore nodded:

"Set off!"

This is the largest door key Zhang Xiao has ever seen, and it is also the strangest.

It's like a roller coaster, with all the little wizards sitting on their seats and locking themselves firmly with safety buckles.

Professor McGonagall took the other Hogwarts professors to check everyone's situation one by one. Her serious voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"The door key to intercontinental travel is completely different from what you are used to!

If you don't want to arrive in the United States as a piece of rotten meat, you'd better just sit back and sit still! "

After all the professors confirmed that the warriors were all seated, Professor McGonagall nodded to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore didn't look like an old man over a hundred years old at all. He quickly got into the front of the car and took out a pair of windproof glasses from somewhere.

"Set off!"

He stretched out his slender fingers and gently touched the front of the car. The silent spell had been activated, as if the car body was shining with bright light:

"Mentos!"

The next second, everyone felt a huge pulling force around them, and they suddenly left the ground and rushed into the sky.

Zhang Xiao finally understood why he used this roller coaster-like thing as a door key.

They seemed to be in a huge drum washing machine, surrounded by rapidly rotating scenes. Just looking at it for a moment would make them dizzy and make them want to vomit.

No, someone had already started to vomit. The food they had just devoured in the auditorium was digested by stomach acid and turned into extremely disgusting things splashing around.

Zhang Xiao's scalp was numb and he immediately activated the Iron Armor Curse. Fortunately, Dumbledore's strength could still face any problem easily in this situation.

Even while spinning at high speed, he still used an extremely delicate cleaning spell.

Zhang Xiao could swear that the most exciting roller coaster in the world would never be as good as this one!

The feeling of being swaying, spinning rapidly, and making big loops from time to time is simply so refreshing.

I don't know how long it took, but they suddenly broke away from that high-speed rotation.

The little wizards who had closed their eyes and gritted their teeth secretly opened their eyes a crack, only to find that they had arrived high in the sky without knowing it.

Below is a huge city with dense lights!

The roller coaster dropped rapidly, and the huge feeling of falling made their scalps numb. This is an instinct engraved in human genes.

The ground zoomed in rapidly, and in just a short moment, they swooped down from the air to the ground.

Then he suddenly slowed down less than a few dozen meters above the ground and landed slowly on the ground.

Dumbledore took off his goggles, and the surrounding event personnel who had been waiting for a long time rushed up and poured potions on these little wizards who were using intercontinental door keys for the first time.

"Welcome to New York!"

On the other side, at the final scene of the final round of competition, the audience was already preparing to take their seats.

The New York Metropolitan Stadium is the home stadium shared by the New York Giants and New York Jets of the American Football League (NFL). Before SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles was put into use, it was the only exception in the NFL that shared a home stadium.

This magnificent and majestic stadium is not only a landmark building in New York, but it was also the most expensive stadium in the world, with a cost of a staggering US$1.6 billion!

It can accommodate up to 82,500 people. This super luxurious stadium also has four 1,210-inch high-definition giant screens and 2,018 TV sets, allowing the audience to watch the game without any blind spots. Each seat in the auditorium has a fixed drink cup holders, and the giant stadium also has 1,350 toilets.

Only this time, the screens used to broadcast the game were replaced by magic projections.

They completely replicated the layout of the Muggles. Although they are not sure the purpose of placing the screen like this, it is obviously no problem at all.

Now this unprecedented super luxurious stadium has been chartered by the International Federation of Wizards. They used the help of magic spells and money to completely turn this stadium into a carnival venue for wizards.

As the final round of the Super Goblet of Fire, arriving to watch the game has undoubtedly become the most sought-after and popular thing in the entire wizarding world.

The wizards went crazy for the game, and this madness also pushed the tickets for the game to high prices that are usually unimaginable.

Although a total of 60,000 seats have been opened this time, at least thousands of tickets will be occupied by senior officials, officials and their relatives of the Ministry of Magic from all over the world.

In addition to the Wizengamot, recipients of the Order of Merlin, those families with reputation and status in the wizarding world

Now a saying has begun to spread in the wizarding world. I want to know what my status is in the wizarding world?

Then go get a ticket for the third round, the better the seats, the higher the status.

And this kind of rumors and celebrity gathering in turn stimulated some people who were originally not interested, just like celebrities and some people with ill intentions like to ride on the popularity.

There is no shortage of such people in the wizarding world.

So the most high-end and elite people in the entire wizarding world all gathered here!

Under the spotlight, Ludo Bagman once again stood in front of the commentary box and roared with excitement:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first Super Cup of Fire!

I'm Ludo and I'm here with you for a little unforgettable time!

Go and see which school can win the final trophy. "

Ludo turned around and looked at the huge screen. The magic projector gradually lit up.

"Now that the warriors have arrived at the starting point, Lord Dumbledore is preaching the final rules to them.

After a while, the third round of competition will officially begin!

Before that we get into everyone's favorite commercial break. "

Tens of thousands of spectators booed and laughed in the huge stadium.

Ludo Bagman was unmoved, but calmly took out the card and read the advertisement:

"Nimbus Company."

“Bluebonnet Family Broom – perfect for your whole family fun.”

"The best travel company - specializing in the production of various types of travel homes. Do you want the same style of travel homes as those of the Warriors?"

"Extraordinary clothing store - classics will be passed down forever, the replica version of Oriental Warrior Zhang's Christmas ball dress is shockingly launched!"

As soon as this slogan was read, the entire huge venue erupted into violent screams. The impression of that dress was really profound.

Countless women are fascinated by the unique oriental beauty and fabrics.

It can only be said that the interests make people crazy. Under the temptation of Garen, Tuofan spent a lot of money to hire experts in related fields in the wizarding world. Even Newt was invited.

After several months of hard work, I finally succeeded in making similar fabrics, and the output was impressive.

"Finally -" Ludo put away his cards and announced loudly:

"The logistics of this round of competition are still undertaken by the 'Elf Housekeeping Service Company'. Audiences can call the elves through the call button. They can provide many services such as eating and drinking, and apparating to take you to the toilet."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people curiously picked up the things next to each seat, pressed the button, and then heard some small voices:

"Do you have any requests?"

"Uh, how about a butterbeer?"

"Seat B231?"

"Yes."

Immediately afterwards, a cup of freshly baked butterbeer suddenly appeared in the drink cup holder.

How convenient!

Many wizards happily ate the food that had just appeared, but what they were thinking about was that this elf housekeeping service company seemed really good.

Do you want to give it a try?

At this moment, Zhang Xiaozheng, who was still unaware that his company had acquired a lot of business inexplicably, put his wand in the box in front of Dumbledore.

After a while, these boxes containing wands will be sent away. I don’t know what the box is made of. Even with the unique fit between Zhang Xiao and the wand, I feel that the connection is much weaker now.

The first time he was separated from his wand, Zhang Xiao still felt a touch of sadness in his heart.

Seeing the little wizard in front of him staring directly at the boxes, Dumbledore smiled and waved his hand gently, and the boxes flew up and fell into the bag.

The little wizards looked pale and looked like they were mourning for their concubines, which made many staff members secretly laugh.

"Okay, now that the wands have been collected, it's time for you to choose where to start."

Dumbledore stretched out his palm, and inside was an exquisite 20-sided copper die.

20-sided die?

"Zhang, as the first place winner in the first two rounds, you come first." Dumbledore took out 10 100 dollar bills and handed them to Zhang Xiao, and then handed the dice over.

Zhang Xiao took the U.S. dollar. Instead of giving him 100 U.S. dollars, he might as well give him fifty in 20 denominations. Even Americans rarely use 100 U.S. dollars, and it would be very eye-catching to show them.

I'm not afraid of being robbed by others, but the key is that it adds a lot of trouble.

He casually threw the copper dice into the box, and the number that appeared was 6. He turned his head and looked at Dumbledore.

Then he saw his principal extending his hand again:

"Again."

Zhang Xiao didn't know why, so he continued to throw the dice, still 6.

I saw a map of New York appearing in front of Dumbledore, which was divided into dense small grids by 19 vertical lines and 19 horizontal lines (as shown in the picture)

In just a moment, Zhang Xiao understood that this was actually the case!

You can determine the vertical and horizontal by throwing it twice. The 6.6 you throw means that you count 6 grids vertically and 6 grids horizontally.

Sure enough, random!

Three men in suits came over. These were the Aurors who were following Zhang Xiao. They put a hand on Zhang Xiao's shoulders.

Dumbledore nodded towards him:

"Well then. Good luck to you, Zhang!"

Accompanied by the strong squeezing feeling caused by the phantom, there was a loud bang like a car backfiring, and their figures quickly stretched and disappeared.

"Next, Hogwarts warriors please come to the front!"

At the Metropolitan Stadium, a huge screen suddenly lit up.

Above is the picture of Zhang Xiao, dressed as a Muggle, standing in a small forest with a daze.

The noisy venue was quiet for a moment, followed by huge cheers.

Ludo Bagman raised the microphone and roared at the top of his lungs:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the third final round of the first Super Goblet of Fire has officially begun!"
