Fleur raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that she still had a choice in this situation.
"If I help you find Miss Granger, will you give me any reward?" she asked tentatively.
"Of course there are rewards. If Hermione agrees, I can join your team and help you win the first project. If you just find Hermione, then I will return the original treasures in the treasure box to you.
——That is the treasure chest guarded by the fire dragon."
Tom did not deceive Fleur. He really intended to hand over the contents of Norbert's treasure chest to Fleur, including the magic ring fragments.
Hearing what Tom said, Fleur's breathing suddenly became rapid.
I have been completely defeated, but I still have a chance to make a comeback? This is simply like being pushed off the base in the game and then the opponent initiates a summation.
Listening to what Tom said, he didn't object to joining his side? This is amazing!
"I've obviously already——"
"Almost losing?" Tom said what Fleur didn't say, "But this is another matter. There are two ways to get the treasures I have here. One is to defeat me. The other is to complete my test.
Let me join your team, so that what I collect will naturally belong to you."
Furong:……
It turns out that this kind of operation exists!
She was blinded by anger and tried to use force to solve the problem without even thinking about using tricks.
"Okay, I agree," Fleur nodded, "I hope you will keep your promise. But can you reveal how many treasures you have now?"
"Two magic ring fragments, a map, and a few useless props." Perhaps because he was afraid that the conditions he offered were not attractive enough, Tom added: "I will continue to search for treasures while you are away.
, the final number may be a little more.”
To prove his sincerity, Tom also took out the two magic ring fragments he had obtained and showed them to Fleur.
What the fuck?! When Fleur saw the fragments, there was only one word left in her mind.
It's also sad to say that this is the first time Furong has seen fragments of the magic ring since the start of the competition.
She looked at the two fragments, one large and one small, and her eyes lit up: The fragment in Yoder's hand was so big! The reward for getting such a fragment must be high.
Fleur took a deep breath to keep herself calm.
"I will definitely find Miss Granger. I hope your fragments will still be there by then." Fleur noticed that Tom had just used the word "you", so he must have awarded the task of finding Hermione more than once.
The worst-case scenario is that the other two warriors take the task.
"Last question, why did you insist on finding Miss Granger?" Before leaving, Fleur asked a question in a narrow-minded manner.
"Asking knowingly." Tom rolled his eyes at her.
Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns. People like you who have never been in love don't understand.
I really want to see my girlfriend! Tom shouted in his heart.
Furong showed a bright smile, turned around and disappeared into the jungle.
After sending Fleur away, Tom can do divination without being disturbed.
So what is Hermione, who is worried about many people now, doing? The girl is leaning under a tree, flipping through the books in her hand. Not far behind her is a tent that has been pitched. The first project may last a long time
During this time, volunteers will sleep in tents distributed by professors.
Hermione was a little lucky that she picked up a copy of "The Fifth Element: Exploration" before going to Dumbledore's office - this is a book on charms and is a supplementary textbook for the sixth grade spells class - otherwise She's probably going to get moldy here.
Since Professor McGonagall left, Hermione has not been seen again. It seems that she is the only one left in the entire Forbidden Forest. Staying in such a dark forest, Hermione can't help but recall various legends and stories. These stories made her even more flustered, so she decided to read a book to pass the time and distract herself.
Time seemed to slow down. Hermione felt that she had been reading for a long time, but when she looked at the watch, the hour hand had only moved a short distance. She couldn't help but sigh: Normally, time never felt so long.
The cause of this phenomenon is loneliness. In the dense forest, Hermione is isolated from the outside world, and all she can see is the endless forest. In a sense, she has lost her hearing and vision, which is an extremely painful experience.
There was once a variety show in the non-magical world that did a challenge - they invited guests to a completely enclosed house with sufficient food and drinking water. The guests had to live alone there for a month. After one month, they could receive fifty $10,000 in prize money. That's the challenge. Guests are allowed to bring one personal item into the room—but not a cell phone or computer that communicates with the outside world.
Such a seemingly challenge has never been successfully challenged from the beginning to the end of the program.
The reason is very simple. People are social animals. If they are isolated from society for a long time, they will go crazy. Let alone the situation without the Internet, even if there is the Internet and roommates, if a normal person is locked in a room for three months, the person will be almost Collapse - they can still go downstairs for fresh air every now and then!
People often joke about locking authors into a small dark room to code. In fact, this approach is not efficient. Those pigeon spirits who stay in a small dark room all the time will become depressed. Depressed pigeon spirits can still write even if they are beaten with a whip. The correct approach is to provide these pigeons with delicious food, drink and fun to make them happy. In this way, the pigeons will be full of inspiration and naturally renew themselves more.
Hermione is also a human being, and it is normal for her to feel uncomfortable. The girl put the book aside, curled up her legs and hugged her knees, looking up at the sky.
She wanted to know where Tom had gone and how he was doing. When she was alone, she missed Tom even more. Hermione thought about leaving here and going somewhere else, but she quickly gave up the idea because it was too It's dangerous.
This is the Forbidden Forest!
Hermione took a deep breath and suppressed her restless heart. She was ready to read a few more pages of the textbook. But when she put her hand on the cover of the book, she hesitated: she didn't really want to read right now.
So she returned to her dazed state, gently twisting the black stockings on her calves with her fingers.
He liked this the most... After the game, should I change to a new pair of stockings, or should I wear these old socks to see him? Some random things popped up in Hermione's mind, which made her face flush rapidly. Turned red.
She is a serious girl, she just wants her boyfriend to try her new wine! Yes, that's it!
"The man is smiling, which is not a good thing. The woman's face is red and she is thinking about her husband. I think this little girl must be thinking about something she shouldn't be thinking." A greasy voice suddenly sounded, startling Hermione like a bunny. He jumped up and cautiously held the handle of his wand.
Two boys wearing Durmstrang school uniforms emerged from the woods not far away.
Hermione frowned. From the looks of it, they should also be volunteers for the first project.
"Why are you here? I remember Professor Dumbledore said that volunteers should not leave their station."
One of the boys with semi-long curly hair shook his finger at Hermione rather frivolously, and said to Hermione in English with a strong accent: "I want to correct a mistake. Mr. Dumbledore suggested that we not leave the residence.
, and the order will not be dismissed - we will abide by the order, any suggestions..."
He grinned: "I'm too lazy to listen."
The boy who spoke first took out a piece of parchment from his arms and waved it to Hermione: "Among the things I got, there happened to be a fragment of a map. I followed the fragment's guidance to find Anthony, and I also gained something.
Got a lot of good stuff.”
"After we meet Krum, we can hand over all these supplies to him. With such merit, the principal will definitely reward us." He proudly told Hermione his plan.
It turned out that after being sent to the Forbidden Forest, some volunteers had some weird ideas while waiting boringly. Dumbledore did not prohibit the volunteers from moving freely, so individual volunteers used the resources and information at hand to search for more information.
In this way, they can have more self-protection capabilities when facing warriors from other schools, and even counterattack the warriors. If they encounter warriors from their own school, they can also help as much as possible.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Hermione's face. She admitted that these two Durmstrang students were really good at taking advantage of loopholes. She looked at the proud boy and said coldly: "I'll give you a glass of wine, or a jacket."
Mouth, lest you drip soup all over your robe?"
She had an impression of this boy. He was a rude and impolite guy. Every time he ate, he would drip soup on the front of his robe. On the day he first arrived at Hogwarts, he even asked Karkaroff for a drink.
He drank, but was naturally rejected by Karkaroff and even scolded him.
Hermione's words stung the boy. His face was livid, and he was furious. He wanted to have an attack but was stopped by Anthony.
"Quiet, Polyarco," the student named Anthony told his companion to shut up. He looked at Hermione and said in a lazy tone: "I remember you have a fragment of the magic ring, hand it over——
Don't even think about denying it, I watched you stuff it into your robe in the castle."
Hermione pursed her lips and remained silent.
Poliarco narrowed his eyes and looked at Hermione, "Anthony, it seems that Miss Granger doesn't want to cooperate with us. Why don't you let me do a search? Don't worry, I'm the best at mastering force, and I definitely won't do it.
I love you - speaking of little sister, do you have a boyfriend?"
"I think so. She was very close to that Yodel before." Anthony said thoughtfully.
Poliarco's expression froze, Yodel couldn't afford to offend him.
"Don't worry, this place is deserted, it's just the two of us... When the Forgetting Curse is used, who knows what will happen." Anthony comforted his partner.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Hermione's face became serious. Today, these two people came with bad intentions.
"Expelliarmus!"
"Collapse!"
"Armor protection!"
The next moment, the two sides started to take action. Hermione reacted very quickly and cast an armor spell, which bounced off the disarming spells and stun spells of Anthony and Polyarco.
"Good skill!" Anthony dodged Hermione's counterattack spell, but Poliarco's luck was worse. The spell that Anthony dodged hit Polyarco's arm, and his wand came out.
, fell into the grass behind him.
Anthony didn't care about the state of his teammates. He waved his magic wand, and the surrounding trees became "bald" and thousands of leaves started to fly.
The surface of these leaves is covered with a thin layer of frost, which makes the leaves extremely hard and the edges are as sharp as a knife.
"Go!" Anthony pointed at Hermione with his wand, and the storm of blades composed of leaves rolled towards Hermione.
Hermione didn't dare to neglect: "The flames are raging!"
A stream of flames poured out from the tip of her staff, forming a wall of fire in front of her, blocking the flying leaves from the wall. When encountering the flames, the frost on the leaves quickly melted, and the leaves returned to their soft appearance.
During the confrontation between the two, Polyarco finally found his wand and cast a cutting spell on Hermione.
Hermione quickly ducked and dodged the spell to the best of her ability, but the corners of her clothes were also scratched with several cracks by the sharp ice leaves.
Hermione sighed secretly: She was still careless, she hadn't done anything for too long, and her skills were a bit rusty... Next, she must be more serious!
"This girl is not easy to deal with." Poliarco stood next to Anthony with a serious expression. Poliarco himself is a seventh grader, and Anthony is Durmstrang's current student council president. Poliarco thought that he would have to deal with a
The fourth-year little witch was easily captured. The only difficulty was how to prevent her from escaping with the portkey. But Hermione was more difficult than they expected. Even with one against two, she never lost, and even had an advantage for a while.
"It's my turn, birds!" Hermione turned the fallen leaves on the ground into a flock of birds, and shot them like bullets at the two of them, forcing them to scramble.
Hermione, who had regained her fighting spirit, was very strong and completely suppressed Anthony and Poliarco.
"Use that!" Antony shouted, and Poliarco immediately took out a chess piece and threw it to the ground.
"Grow big quickly!"
The chess piece quickly became life-size under the influence of the spell, and blocked Hermione's bird attack for the two of them.
With such a human shield, the two finally regained the upper hand.
This chess piece can resist Hermione's spells, even the explosion curse.
In the end, Hermione could only take out the wings made by Tom and put them on. The wings slowly unfolded and formed a thin breastplate on her chest, lifting Hermione into the air.
Anthony Poliarco:???
What is this?!
Just when the two of them were shocked, Hermione moved. She moved behind the two of them at an extremely fast speed, and threw out a Stunning Curse and a Locking Tongue Curse.
Anthony and Polyarco felt their eyes blurred, and the next moment Anthony was hit by a stun spell, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. Polyarco screamed in pain, and his tongue was tied,
I can no longer use my words.
In just a few seconds, Hermione defeated the two uninvited guests.
