Lee Jordan admitted that when he saw the treasure chest, he felt sour.
Why? Why do the two warriors Cedric and Krum have to fight for resources with blood and sweat, but you, Fleur Delacour, open a treasure chest and look no different from going shopping? Do you take a shower every day?
Durmstrang's commentator was also sour.
"Luck is also a part of strength~" The little witch from Beauxbatons was smiling all over her face, and was trying hard to think of a way to wash the floor for Fleur.
"Is the Triwizard Tournament a place where a warrior's luck is tested?"
"There's no way..."
Madame Maxime glanced at the two principals next to her with a guilty conscience, secretly glad that the home field was not Beauxbatons, otherwise she would not be able to clear herself. However, neither Dumbledore nor Karkaroff had any trouble with her.
The meaning of care. Both of them were watching the game quietly, and Dumbledore even had a smile on his lips.
She even saw the commentary, and Furong, who was at the scene, naturally saw the shiny treasure box - it was lying unprepared under a willow tree on the edge of the woods, waving to her.
"Wait a minute," Lee Jordan frowned, "This tree seems to be the Whomping Willow, right?"
Someone in the audience recognized the true identity of the tree earlier than Jordan.
"That pretty French girl is in trouble," Fred said with a smile on his face. He had just made several deals, "That's the Whomping Willow!"
The corner of his mouth almost reached his ears: "Fleur Delacour is in trouble, and I think she doesn't seem to know that this tree can move."
When no outsider enters the attack range, the Whomping Willow will remain stationary, no different from an ordinary tree. Furong, a newcomer, naturally does not know how powerful this big willow tree is. In her opinion, it is just an ordinary willow tree.
, there is a treasure chest hidden under the tree.
She walked carelessly towards the Whomping Willow, her silver wolf running happily in front of her.
The moment Furong stepped into the shade of a tree, Furong felt herself being hit in the back by something that came out of nowhere. If it hadn't triggered the iron armor spell on her armor, she might have been knocked over at this time.
On the ground.
"What?" Fleur looked surprised. She could hear a whooshing sound in the air, like someone cracking a whip nearby, and then branches as thick as forearms appeared in her sight. This branch was moving
The violent shaking seemed to reject the arrival of visitors. The wolf he summoned was not far from him and was being surrounded by several tree roots as thick as a fist.
Furong was in a dilemma for a while. She didn't know whether she should retreat quickly or rush to the tree and open the treasure chest first. At this moment, she found a large hole at the root of the tree, which was a blind spot for attack.
So she made a decision and moved forward, trying to break through the blockade of the branches.
Furong was still very flexible, and with the help of several defensive alchemy creations she had opened earlier, she was able to break through the heavy blockade of branches and rush to the roots. But her wolf did not have such good equipment.
, a thick branch fell down hard and hit Silver Wolf's waist and abdomen from the side.
Wolves are made of copper heads and iron bones, and their waists are their vital points. The Whomping Willow struck a critical blow, and the damage caused exceeded the threshold of the transformation spell. So the silver wolf was instantly beaten back to its original shape.
It turned back into stone.
The second willow branch also fell down, breaking the stone into pieces, and the stone fragments were scattered everywhere. By coincidence, a small stone fragment happened to collapse on a knot in the trunk. After the knot was touched,
, the tree suddenly became quiet and stopped moving.
Furong:?
What happened? Why did it stop suddenly?
The incident happened suddenly, and Furong didn't see clearly what happened. She could only attribute it to her luck or to sacrificing a living creature.
But now that the weird tree has stopped attacking, it's a good thing, and she can go open the treasure chest!
Fleur lost a wolf and two alchemical creations under the Whomping Willow. If she couldn't find good things in the treasure chest, she would lose blood.
Fleur walked to the treasure chest and prayed silently in her heart: I hope it is a powerful alchemical creation. Of course, if it is a magic ring fragment, it is not impossible.
She looked at the locked treasure box and took a deep breath.
"Open the Alaho hole!" In front of the unlocking spell, the small lock obediently lowered its guard and opened its heart to Fleur.
Fleur breathed a sigh of relief. She originally thought that there would be a reverse unlocking spell on the lock. She even prepared an explosion spell, but she found that she was overly worried.
Fleur entered a relaxed state, holding the lock with joy and preparing to open the treasure chest. However, the moment her hand touched the lock, she felt a hook snap behind her navel.
"Gan!" Fleur, who had used the portkey several times, immediately understood what was happening, and now she just wanted to curse.
The next second, she fell into a pool.
Quidditch pitch.
From the commentators to teachers and students, the entire audience fell into silence.
"So...is there a trap on the box?" Jordan was the first to break the silence.
"That's right! Fleur Delacour fell into the trap on the treasure chest and was teleported away! So it turns out that traps can also be added to the treasure chest?"
Everyone was shocked. Adding a trap to the treasure chest, what a shady person it would take to do such a thing!
Fleur was unlucky to meet the legendary "mimic monster". What was even more unlucky was that when she wiped the water droplets from her face, she found a fire dragon staring at her.
Furong:!
While Fleur was battling with the Whomping Willow and the treasure chest, Cedric was racking his brains to guess the riddles.
The Sphinx told Cedric bluntly that she had a magic ring fragment and a map fragment in her hand. She would ask him three questions. If he answered one correctly, he could leave safely. If he answered two correctly, he could take away the same treasure. If he answered two correctly, he could take away the same treasure.
If you answer all the puzzles correctly, you can take away all the treasures.
The characteristic of the sphinx, a magical animal, is that it likes to make people guess riddles. If you fail to guess the answer, it will eat you. Of course, the sphinx invited by the Ministry of Magic is not so cruel, but it is
If he answers a question incorrectly, Cedric will have to teleport back to his "spawn point".
Cedric chose to take risks for the sake of the map and the magic ring fragments - he was now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Anyway, he was already behind schedule, so he might as well be resurrected this time.
“Tell me, warrior, what devours everything—birds and beasts, flowers, plants, and trees? It gnaws at steel, grinds stone, kills kings, destroys city walls, and even knocks down mountains?
What can bring people back to life, make you cry, make you laugh, make you younger, be born in an instant, but last a lifetime?
What is always old, but sometimes new; never sad, but sometimes gloomy; never empty, but sometimes full; never pushed, but always pulled?"
