Chapter 588 An acquaintance, no, a familiar dragon!
As a professional Quidditch player, Krum has flown many times, but this was the first time that he was hit by a stick.
After Tom rushed over, the magic silver staff in his hand first hit the iron armor spell cast by Krum, and then hit the shield held by Krum, making a "winter" sound that shook the eardrums.
One sound.
The Iron Armor Curse could not provide perfect defense. The kinetic energy of the Hippogriff's sprint was transmitted to Krum's small shield through the magic silver staff, and the huge impact knocked Krum away.
This scene was faithfully recorded on the screen and transmitted back to the Quidditch pitch.
There was a burst of exclamation from the audience.
Anyone can see that it is uncomfortable to resist this.
Krum got up from the ground and felt that the arm holding the shield had lost all feeling. His reaction had reached its limit just now, and he almost perfectly blocked Tom's heavy blow. But the price he paid for this was his.
The arm is completely numb.
He was sure that if the shield hadn't been tied to his arm, his shield would have been knocked away with that blow.
"Damn it, I shouldn't have gone head-to-head with this big guy..." Krum reflected on his previous operation and realized that he shouldn't have resisted the monster's impact.
At this time, Tom also changed direction and prepared for the second charge.
"Madman!" Krum cursed secretly and raised his wand.
"There are many obstacles!"
For such a "cumbersome" target like the opponent, Krum chose to use a barrier spell to block it first, and then...
There is no more!
Krum's spell hit the knight's chest straight away, but was instantly bounced away. His spell was not strong enough to break the iron armor spell on Tom's armor. So even if Tom had enough reaction time, he was too lazy to do so.
Dodge Krum's Obstacle Curse.
Tom thinks that anyone who can break the Iron Armor Curse attached to this armor can definitely apply for a teaching position at Hogwarts. Strictly speaking, what is attached to his armor is not the Iron Armor Curse, but an upgraded version of this spell, Tom
Call it the Multiple Iron Armor Curse.
Generally speaking, what should we do if the armor is not thick enough and is easily penetrated? Muggle engineers choose to add shielding outside the armor, thicken the armor or use sloped armor. This is where Tom got his inspiration.
What should I do if the defense of the Iron Armor Curse is not enough? Then stack several Iron Armor Curses together. This is why his armor is so difficult to build: he has to layer the Iron Armor Curse on top to make the armor more vulnerable to attack.
, will automatically trigger several iron armor spells. The iron armor spells overlap to maximize defense.
In front of Tom's multiple iron armor spells, Krum's spell couldn't even scratch the itch.
Master Ke, stop scraping!
Krum was stunned. He really didn't expect that this monster had such a high magic resistance! How can this be done?
He was in a daze, and Tom would not stay with him. His staff hit Krum's shield again, knocking him to the ground. This time, the shield on Krum's forearm was knocked out directly.
There was a crack, so it was obviously scrapped.
After the charge, Tom used the reins to control Buckbeak and make him turn around quickly, while Klum, who fell, lost the will to resist. He lay on the ground like a salted fish that had lost its dream...
"It's over." Tom came to Krum's side and waved the staff towards his head.
The next moment, the magic silver staff hit the ground hard, making a small pit in the ground. Krum, who was lying there, had disappeared.
The perspective of the Hogwarts broadcast is very interesting. It is from the first-person point of view of the warrior, so the scene seen by the young wizards present is almost the same as the scene seen by Krum.
Therefore, the moment Tom's staff fell, everyone held their breath nervously, and there seemed to be a strong wind whistling in their ears. Some girls even closed their eyes, not daring to look at what was going to happen next - being raped by such a stick.
If you hit your head with a metal rod, your head will explode like a watermelon, right?
However, more people let out exclamations. Krum held the door key at the last moment and was sent back to the Quidditch pitch.
The three commentators were also shouting on the commentary stage.
"Oh my god, it's so extreme. I feel that the last stick was no more than three inches away from Krum's head! If there had been a delay in the Ministry of Magic's back-up, Krum would be dead by now! I have to say, Krum has some
That’s awesome!” Lee Jordan spoke as fast as a cannon, “Speaking of which, I haven’t asked him for his autograph yet—”
His current mood is quite complicated. On the one hand, as a Quidditch enthusiast, how could he be indifferent to Krum? But on the other hand, he is a student of Hogwarts, so he naturally supports his alma mater and is hostile to him.
Two other schools. This makes his commentary style a little distorted.
"It's great that Player Viktor is back safely. Let's turn our attention to Fleur. She seems to have obtained a very interesting treasure..."
"The doctors prepared by the Ministry of Magic have arrived. I hope Viktor's injury will not affect his subsequent performance." Durmstrang's commentator had a very ugly look on his face. The warrior of his school actually acted in front of that monster.
He had no power to fight back, which really made him feel aggrieved. He could only secretly poke and hope that the other two would be defeated here.
Lying on the lawn of the stadium, Krum gasped for air, and the sweat on his body wetted his clothes. He was very sure that the golden-armored monster just now had no intention of holding back!
If he failed to hold the door key...Krum shuddered and shuddered.
Fortunately, he caught up... Krum looked at the blue sky and breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Pomfrey, the school nurse of Hogwarts, and the doctor arranged by the Ministry of Magic quickly ran to his side, and they were all in a hurry.
The footman removed the damaged shield for him, then gave him a simple physical examination and healed the injury on his arm.
"Are you sure you don't want to rest for a while?" Madam Pomfrey asked, looking into Krum's eyes, "Your condition is very unstable."
Krum shook his head. It took him a lot of time to get back to the "spawn point". If he rested for a while, the gap between the other two warriors would only be wider.
The experience he had just experienced in the Forbidden Forest made him understand that the longer he wandered in the Forbidden Forest, the more boxes he searched for, and his combat effectiveness would increase - this was just opening some treasure boxes set up by the organizer, if he got a neutral character's
Support, the gap in combat effectiveness will only widen further. Krum can't imagine what would happen if any warrior was recognized by the golden-armored monster just now...
So he can't stop for a moment!
His shield was damaged in the previous battle, which meant that his progress had been cleared and he couldn't afford to delay.
After Krum received the new portkey from the Ministry of Magic officials, he immediately started his adventure again.
Krum's analysis was correct. While he was beaten by Tom, Cedric successfully defeated the troll.
The magic spell used is also very classic, it is a simple stun spell. After Cedric's spell hit the troll's little head, the troll fell into a dazed state. After two spells from Cedric,
, this hill-like giant finally fell.
In order to prevent the car from overturning, Cedric also carefully cast a series of spells on the troll: petrification spell, leg-locking spell, eye disease spell... He also conjured a rope and tied up the troll.
After dealing with the giant monster, Cedric discovered that there was a golden fragment the size of a fingernail on the big stick in the troll's hand.
"Is this the fragment of the magic ring?" Cedric took off the fragment and looked at it carefully.
Cedric's every move was broadcast on the Quidditch pitch, causing the little wizards at Hogwarts to burst into cheers.
"Congratulations to Cedric, for becoming the first warrior to obtain a magic ring fragment in this game. It's a good start!" Lee Jordan said with joy. There were still zero warriors from other schools, but the warriors from his own camp had changed.
Becoming one, is there any better sign than this?
"Congratulations to Cedric, the treasure Fleur got is really interesting!"
"..."
Durmstrang's narrator had not spoken for a while, and as for the Beauxbatons girl, she tried her best to steer the conversation towards Fleur, but with little success.
But she really didn't lie. Fleur really found a very interesting treasure: it was a scroll.
[Professor McGonagall’s Transformation Scroll: After opening the scroll, you will cast a transformation spell to turn an item into a wolf, which can fight alongside warriors. Note that the wolf’s existence time is limited and can only exist for one hour at present]
After reading the introduction on the scroll, Fu Rong's eyes lit up: This is a good thing! You can summon a good helper at once. Whether it is auxiliary output or attracting hatred, it is first-class and excellent.
Without thinking, she tore open the scroll and turned a stone next to her into a giant wolf nearly two meters long.
"Let's go!" Looking at the silver giant wolf crawling at her feet, Fleur was in a good mood. She decided to seize the opportunity to search the treasure chests in this area while the giant wolf was still there to increase her strength.
Fleur has opened three boxes in a row and obtained several useful props. The only drawback is that she has not seen the magic ring fragments yet.
"I don't know where those fragments have gone." Fu Rong muttered and walked away.
"A little boring..." Tom stood under the Whomping Willow in a daze.
After defeating Krum, his place became calm, and not even the shadow of anyone could be seen.
This is not surprising. The volunteers who entered the Forbidden Forest did not dare to leave their safe zone, and there were only three warriors who needed to move freely. The probability of meeting Tom was really low. No wonder Tom felt bored...
"In the rules of the game, there shouldn't be any stipulation that the NPC must stand still?" Tom realized a loophole in the rules.
"Emmm, wandering NPCs can also train the warriors' adaptability..." Tom successfully convinced himself. So he left on Buckbeak.
After walking in the Forbidden Forest for a quarter of an hour, he heard an unusual sound: it was a dragon's roar.
Somehow, Tom felt that the dragon's roar sounded familiar...
"Buckbeak, let's go there and take a look." He moved Buckbeak's bridle and walked in the direction of the dragon's roar.
There are not only trees in the Forbidden Forest, but also other landforms, such as lakes, depressions, etc.
After Tom walked for a while, the field of vision in front of him suddenly became wider, and a small pool with a diameter of dozens of meters appeared in front of him.
A fire dragon that looked about the same size as an African elephant was squatting by the lake, drinking water. Tom recognized it from the thorns on its back. It was a Norwegian crested dragon.
"This dragon is a bit small." Tom looked at the fire dragon by the lake and felt that the dragon was really not big. There is no problem for an adult fire dragon to grow to dozens of feet - the fire dragon in the British mainland Hebridean Islands
Black dragons can reach up to thirty feet in length, and the Ukrainian Iron Belly, the largest in the wizarding world, has an average length of sixty feet, or eighteen meters in length.
The dragon in front of me was only a dozen feet long, and it didn't look like an adult fire dragon at all.
When Tom discovered the fire dragon, the fire dragon also discovered Tom.
When Tom saw the face of the fire dragon, he felt that the guy in front of him looked more and more familiar. Finally, the figure of a fat dragon appeared in his mind.
aiyueshuxiang” aiyueshuxiang
"Norbert?" Tom tentatively called the name of the fire dragon in front of him.
The fire dragon tilted its head, looking confused.
Such a familiar title...
"Are you Norbert?" Tom lifted his visor. He didn't expect to meet a familiar dragon in a place like this.
He can totally say: I hugged you when you were a child!
This fire dragon drinking water by the water is none other than Norbert - or Norberta - the Norwegian ridgeback dragon that Hagrid secretly hatched. After her identity was exposed, Dumbledore urgently contacted Newt to pick her up.
After living with Newt for a while, Norbert was transferred to Ron's eldest brother Charlie, who took him to Romania.
Although he has been born for three years, Norbert is not yet an adult. Therefore, in the reserve, Norbert cannot compete with other fire dragons, and he has no relatives, so he has no choice but to live a life of two meals in three days. But it doesn't matter, at least
She was free.
It wasn't until the Triwizard Tournament began that the Ministry of Magic urgently transferred a group of underage fire dragons from fire dragon sanctuaries around the world and released them into the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.
The food resources here are very abundant, and every fire dragon can easily fill their stomachs.
As for why these juvenile fire dragons were chosen, it is naturally because adult fire dragons are too dangerous. The warriors are likely to be killed instantly in a single encounter, without even having time to use the door key. In order to ensure the safety of the warriors, the Ministry of Magic used this group of more threatening people.
Small childhood, young fire dragon.
Of course, no matter how small a dragon is, it is still a dragon, and it is still a very dangerous existence.
After Norbert saw Tom, he also gave him a mouthful of dragon's breath as a greeting gift, trying to turn his acquaintance into a mature person.
After Tom used the Iron Armor Curse to block Norbert's dragon breath, he drew a stream of water from the nearby pool with his backhand and hit Norbert in the face.
"Be honest!" Tom tapped the ground with his staff. "If you are naughty again, I will spank you hard with the staff!"
