After Dumbledore announced the start of the game, three small balls floated in front of the three warriors.
These are three door keys that will randomly transport the warriors to a certain location in the Forbidden Forest.
The warriors have to complete the recovery of the fragments with a wand at the beginning and all equipment must be picked up. Every move they make will be broadcast on the three screens on the field. As for the guarantee previously promised by the Ministry of Magic, it is the specially made in front of them.
Portkeys, warriors can return to the Quidditch field by touching the Portkeys. In theory, this return will not deduct points, but it will indeed greatly interfere with the progress of the collection.
In everyone's expectant eyes, the three of them took hold of the door keys in front of them and disappeared. Simultaneous broadcasts also started on the big screen. Lee Jordan of Gryffindor House was pulled out, and this time he will serve as
Commentary on the Triwizard Tournament. At the same time, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons also each found a student. The three of them stood at the commentator's seat, each with a microphone in front of them that had amplifying spells cast on it.
Cedric stood firm. He was in the center of the arena just now, but now he was in a dense forest.
"Where is this..." Cedric was a little confused. He knew that he wanted to go near the Whomping Willow, but the prerequisite for going to a place is that you have to know how to get there!
Unfortunately, Cedric didn't know how to get to the Whomping Willow. But luckily, there was a spell that could help him.
"Show me the way!" Cedric took out his wand and cast a spell. The wand in his hand turned and pointed to the southeast.
The tip of the stick points to the direction of the Whomping Willow.
Just as Cedric was about to leave, he shrugged the tip of his nose: Why does it smell so bad?
Wait, this smell... Cedric's expression changed, and he vaguely thought of something.
At this moment, the woods behind him trembled, the smell in the air became stronger and pungent, and then a tall figure appeared in Cedric's field of vision.
Tall body, gray-white skin, small head like a chocolate bean, and holding a huge wooden stick in his hand...
It's a giant monster! To be more precise, it's a forest troll active in the forest.
Cedric felt his hair go numb for a while. Magicians were most afraid of encountering such rough-skinned big guys at close range. The troll's skin was somewhat similar to a weakened version of fire dragon skin, and it had a certain amount of magic resistance. Ordinary little wizards really
It is difficult to break its defense. If it were not for its slow movement, the troll must be a top wizard hunter. When they meet on a narrow road, they directly teach the wizard how to behave and let the wizard understand a truth: beyond seven steps, the wizard cannot defeat the troll, but within seven steps,
Not only can the wizard not be defeated, he cannot escape.
"There are many obstacles!" he yelled, cast an obstacle spell, and ran away.
The troll roared angrily and tried to hunt the pretty boy in front of him, but was blocked by a barrier spell for a few seconds. In the blink of an eye, Cedric disappeared into the dense forest and disappeared.
Cedric's encounter made the little wizards exclaim in surprise, especially when the troll appeared. Many people even felt that they could smell the stench of the troll's body.
"Here, let's take a bet on who can find the first fragment and who will be teleported back first - do you want a fake wand?" Fred and George were not idle, like two bludgers.
Sliding in and out of the crowd...
Compared with Cedric's "mountain" from the start, Fleur and Krum were luckier. Their "spawn point" didn't have any monsters, just an endless dense forest.
However, Fleur successfully provoked an Acromantula after passing through several bushes, and it took a lot of effort to defeat it - she was very lucky, this spider came out to look for food alone. If she encountered
Acromantula swarm, then she was about to use the portkey at this time.
Fleur's fighting process did not attract the attention of other students. At this time, everyone was caught by the screen that broadcast Krum.
Compared to Cedric, who was playing hide-and-seek with the troll in the forest, Krum was very lucky. He didn't encounter any obstacles along the way. He even found a treasure chest from which he obtained a side armor with an attached armor.
The cursed shield. With such smooth sailing, Krum finally wandered around and arrived under the Whomping Willow tree.
If Cedric knew what happened to Klum, he would definitely shed tears of happiness: There are so many differences between people! Why don't I have such good luck?
But honey to me and arsenic to him, Cedric's good fortune was pure misfortune to Krum.
This starts from dozens of minutes ago...
Professor Sprout placed Tom next to the Whomping Willow and left. She had other volunteers to arrange, and according to Dumbledore's instructions, she also had to lay a few traps along the way. So she
I missed the little surprise prepared by Tom.
After Professor Sprout left, Tom first opened the prop gift bag he received. He wanted to know what good things were stuffed in his gift bag.
He untied the rope of the gift bag and tipped it down. A roll of parchment, a glove and a small ball fell out from it.
The parchment was a nearby map, with several points marked on it. Tom estimated that it was the location of alchemy tools or magic ring fragments. The gloves were more outrageous, they were curse-proof gloves made by himself...
It looked like Dumbledore had bought it from the Ministry of Magic.
As for the ball, it's even more interesting - it's a dung egg! When thrown out, it will emit an amazing stench, successfully dissuading the pursuers.
It seems that Dumbledore is a loyal customer of Fred and George! Tom threw the powerful dung egg aside and turned around to unpack the daily necessities.
There wasn't much inside, just a tent and a pile of food.
"It looks delicious." Tom smelled the sandwich in the food bag and felt that it should taste good.
After opening the gift bag, Tom took out the big treasure he had been making for several months: the alchemical armor.
[Alchemical armor (four stars): Made of magic silver, coated with gold powder on the surface, comes with extension spells, iron armor spells, floating spells and other spells, which can fit the body tightly and reflect most spells]
In addition to this armor, he also took out his staff, but this time he did not inlay the wand. He just mounted the fragment of his magic ring on the end of the staff - how can he attract warriors if he does not expose the good stuff?
What about taking the bait?
"Come on, stand still." Tom approached Buckbeak who was looking for mouse holes on the ground.
Buckbeak:?…
"I'll wear something nice for you~"
"No!" Buckbeak refused.
It is a noble hippogriff, how can it let its beautiful feathers be covered?
Seeing Buckbeak's lack of interest, Tom put on the alchemical armor without forcing himself.
After the armor was put on, it automatically began to shrink, and finally fit together with Tom's body, shrouding his entire body in golden armor.
Under the sunlight, Tom seemed to transform into the sun.
Buckbeak:!
If it's this kind of thing, it doesn't seem impossible?
Buckbeak's attitude softened.
When Tom saw this, he smiled slightly - he had long expected that the Hippogriff would like this tune, so when making his own armor, he also prepared a similar horse armor for Buckbeak.
As for the size, it doesn't matter. Magic can automatically change the horse armor into a model suitable for Buckbeak.
Soon, Buckbeak also became golden, and his whole body was covered in golden armor.
Tom rode up, transformed into a heavily armored knight, and patrolled around the Whomping Willow.
So when Krum came to the Whomping Willow, what he saw was a knight in golden armor armed to the teeth. Even the knight's face was covered by a visor, making it difficult to see his face. The armor on the knight had The gorgeous and dazzling patterns reflected dazzling golden light in the sun. The knight's mount was also covered in golden armor. The sun's rays shone on the man and the horse, making them look like golden sculptures.
Krum:......
I seemed to have seen something I couldn't afford to mess with. It wasn't very clear at first glance.
Wait! As the world's top seeker, Krum's eyes are as sharp as an eagle's. So he immediately saw the inconspicuous fragment at the end of the weapon in the knight's hand.
"Magic Ring Fragments!" Krum's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Krum knew that this kind of fragment was the key to this game. He met one soon after entering the venue, and his luck was really good. But looking at the golden statue, Krum had a hard time judging himself. Is your luck good or bad?
He looked at Tom under the tree in the distance and began to analyze.
Krum felt that the purpose of the game was not to tease people, but to test the abilities of the warriors. Therefore, Hogwarts would not put in some enemies that were completely impossible to defeat, which meant that the big guy in front of him should have weaknesses. .
"Can't you attack with magic?" Krum touched his chin. The knight really didn't look like he was good at magic. At this time, Krum's eyes fell on the wand and shield in his hand.
Since the armor made by Tom completely covered the face and torso, Krum did not see that it was Tom Yoder, whom he had cared about before - he thought it was a golem made by the organizers of the competition. This caused his There is a fundamental problem with the analysis.
I... think I can give it a try? Krum's heartbeat began to accelerate, and fresh blood was pumped into his brain, making him gradually warm up.
If you can defeat this golem, the benefits you get should not only be the fragment, but also other props with special functions...
Krum is already thinking about the benefits of success.
Unlike Krum who was excited, Durmstrang's students were generally anxious.
"This big guy looks very strong at first glance. Why doesn't Viktor avoid it?"
"Because he wants to deal with that big guy. He is worthy of being our Durmstrang warrior."
"I'm not very optimistic, but he is Viktor Krum! Maybe he can create miracles..."
Even Krum's classmates have a rather pessimistic attitude towards him.
As a professional Quidditch commentator, Lee Jordan would never turn off the power at this critical moment. He grabbed the microphone and said: "It can be seen that Krum really wants to try to challenge this knight in shining armor, but I highly doubt him." Whether it can be successful - it is said that the Ministry of Magic has provided comprehensive protection measures, I think we will see it soon."
The narrator of Beauxbatons is a little witch, and her attitude is much more tactful: "Obviously, player Krum is facing a very severe challenge. I just discovered that the knight in shining armor is riding no ordinary horse.
But a hippogriff..."
Different from the neutral attitude of Beauxbatons' commentary, Lee Jordan's words have a strong bias - this is also the characteristic of his commentary. In previous Quidditch games, he could openly support Quidditch in front of the entire school's teachers and students.
The people of Llanffindor.
Lee Jordan's words angered Durmstrang's commentator, who cleared his throat: "I need to remind you that Krum is a great seeker, and this challenge is nothing to him -
—”
"But this is not a Quidditch match. I want to tell you a hot fact. Krum's Bulgarian team lost to... this summer with a score of 160 to 170..."
"Aren't you worried about your students?" While the two commentators were arguing, Mrs. Maxim glanced at Karkaroff sitting next to her, "The man under the tree, I guess it's Tom Yoder.
I don’t know where he got such a set of armor.”
Madame Maxime recognized Buckbeak under Tom's crotch. After analyzing it together with the information about the Hippogriff, she knew the true face of the man under the armor.
Karkaroff looked blank: "I believe in my warrior."
This sentence only received a blank stare.
Madame Maxime wanted to say: It’s useless for you to believe in Krum. Chamberlain still believed that he could bring peace! But she swallowed the words back in her stomach after all.
Anyway, it’s not Fleur who’s going to be in trouble now, let’s watch the show!
All the eyes of the audience were focused on Krum's screen. Even though Cedric next to him was entangled by a troll again and Fleur opened a treasure chest, the audience could not look away.
When Krum saw Tom, Tom also spotted him. When he saw that instead of running away, Krum wanted to attack him, Tom sneered.
Let you try my new armor!
He pinched Buckbeak, turned the horse's head, and rushed towards Krum.
Buckbeak cooperated very well, walking as fast as flying, stepping out of the shadow with four legs, and at the same time stretched out his two wings, instantly raising his momentum to .
Krum:!
When Tom was standing by the tree in a daze, he didn't feel anything was wrong - it was just a statue. But when he started to move, Krum discovered that the charging cavalry and the stagnant cavalry were completely different species!
As a pure infantryman, facing the charge of the knights, he felt the pressure of a mountain falling apart.
Krum subconsciously raised his shield and cast an armor spell in front of him.
When Buckbeak's speed reached its peak, Tom swung his staff and struck the shield in Krum's hand with a stick.
winter!
Krum flew up.
