"Interesting, this is the first time I have seen such magic." Tom said softly, as if talking to himself.
His voice was very soft, but it startled Fleur.
"Are you alive?! Can you talk?" She looked at Tom in astonishment, somewhat doubting life. She always thought that this knight in shining armor was a doll with advanced magic attached to it.
But since it can talk, it means that this knight in golden armor is actually a living person. Analyzing what it said, it is not difficult to see that it can think independently. This means that it has wisdom. Magic items that can be endowed with wisdom are too rare.
In the entire Hogwarts, excluding those portraits, all that is left is the famous Sorting Hat. It would be a waste to make such a puppet for a game.
All kinds of magic props in the magic world have a little bit of "wisdom" in them. For example, the full-length mirror in Wes Lai's house will praise the person who looks in the mirror, or point out the inappropriate things in their clothes. It sounds very artificial.
Smart, but actually just a showpiece. Smart, but not completely smart. The full-length mirror can point out mistakes in clothes, but it won't scream when a cockroach crawls over it. It can only comment on the appearance of the clothes.
This is actually pseudo-artificial intelligence.
There are very few magic items that truly realize complete intelligence and can think independently, and the Sorting Hat can be one of them.
This is why Fleur believes there is a living person underneath the armor.
There is a joke in the non-magical world: Behind the vending machine is a busy salesperson. This joke is quite suitable for the current situation.
The spectators at the stadium mistakenly thought that the Knight in Shining Armor was a magic item only because they did not hear the conversation between the two. If they had heard the conversation, they would not have thought so.
"I am indeed alive." Tom nodded.
After receiving the affirmative reply, Furong's expression became a little strange.
Although there had been speculations, it was still shocking after the actual results. Although the voice was a bit earthy, it was very familiar...
"Is it classmate Yodel?" Fleur asked tentatively.
Tom:……
Sure enough, girls are still sharp. Not to mention Krum's stubbornness, Cedric has been chatting with him for so long, and it doesn't seem like he has seen through his identity - he even accepted the task of finding Hermione!
This is because Tom misunderstood Cedric. Cedric had already recognized Tom, but he was just pretending to be fake. After all, his every move would be broadcast live.
Tom's silence was equivalent to an admission. Fleur couldn't help but click her tongue: she had known for a long time that Tom Yoder was a very unusual person, but as a result, the big work he accomplished still exceeded the limit of her imagination.
"What is this? Golden armor?" Furong asked a lot of questions like a curious baby.
She did it on purpose. She hoped to use the opportunity of chatting to get as much information from Tom as possible.
Tom shook his head. Gold? He couldn't afford it. Although magic silver is a noble magic alchemy material, its cost is much lower than gold.
"Isn't it gold? What on earth is that?"
Tom closed his mouth, feeling from the bottom of his heart that Fleur talked too much.
"We have talked enough." He interrupted Fleur's question coldly.
Tom's tone made Fleur understand that her plan to collect information was in vain. After calming down, she suddenly realized a problem: since it was Tom Yoder who was active here, was that disgusting treasure chest just now...?
"Hey, the treasure chest under the tree just now wasn't something you made, was it?!" Fleur felt a fire burning in her heart.
"Yes," Tom glanced at Fleur, "it's very rude to tamper with other people's things without permission, especially when I put that thing under the Whomping Willow."
Furong:!
That's so mean! Tom's words made Fleur's blood boil, and a heartfelt anger arose in her heart: You put a door key on the box, and I couldn't bear it. You messed around with it and made an empty treasure box to make people feel sad, and I couldn't stand it either.
I can bear it. But I can't stand your behavior of stuffing fecal eggs into the treasure chest!
"Collapse!" She raised her hand and cast a spell, but Tom dodged it easily.
"It's useless." Tom rushed towards Fleur. He raised his staff, intending to give her a stick first.
But after raising the staff, Tom felt that his arm seemed to be entangled with something. He looked sideways and found a black rope wrapped around his arm.
The person who took action was the smoke witch summoned by Fleur.
"A summon that is immune to physical damage is your natural enemy." Furong showed a satisfied smile, "Expelliarmus!"
When Tom was distracted by the smoke witch, Fleur sneak-attacked Tom. A disarming spell accurately hit the staff in Tom's hand, causing the heavy staff to fall out of his hands and fling it to the open space not far away.
"Admit defeat," Fleur said happily, "I can give you a chance to follow me."
Tom:???
What is this woman thinking? Do you really think that without the magic silver staff, I will be able to capture her without mercy?
He took out his wand with his backhand: "Atmospheritus (Wind Rises)!"
In an instant, a wisp of breeze emerged in the venue, then quickly expanded and swept towards the Smoke Witch.
Since you are physically immune, I will use magic to deal with you.
The witch made of smoke was helpless in the face of the whirlwind. She was suddenly sucked into the whirlwind and turned into wisps of black smoke. She could no longer maintain her appearance as a witch.
Then Tom refused to look at it, and directly cast a disarming spell with his backhand, knocking Fleur's wand away. When the disarming spell hit Fleur, a curse from Fleur also hit Tom, but it was blocked by the iron armor charm on the armor.
Got off.
Furong:……
"I am a wizard, Miss Delacour." Tom looked at Fleur strangely, "Why do you think I have lost the ability to resist when I lose that staff?"
Fleur fell silent. She admitted that she had just been too involved and had forgotten the essence of Tom as a wizard...
When Tom took out the wand, the audience on the Quidditch pitch was in an uproar. The wand showed that the knight in shining armor was actually a living person!
Such a fierce knight was actually a living person and a volunteer from three schools! This fact shocked all the students present.
So who will be the knight in shining armor? Suspense arises, but most of the young wizards at Hogwarts have the answer in their hearts.
Who else could it be besides him?
Although it is a bit unexpected, it seems reasonable.
At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, the conversation between Tom and Fleur continued.
Looking at Fleur who was standing aside with her lips pursed, Tom gave her a choice: "Either you help me find Hermione, or I send you back to the Quidditch pitch. It's your choice."
