Cedric's approach alarmed the mermaids in the settlement. They swam out of their stone dwellings and looked maliciously at Cedric, the uninvited guest.
Looking at the spears in the hands of the mermaids and their thick and powerful arms and fish tails, Cedric smacked his mouth. He was now somewhat glad that these mermaids were not hostile forces.
Even though they only had spears, Cedric wouldn't be enough to fill their teeth if they were to fight.
Cedric carefully observed the world of mermaids and found that they were fundamentally different from the magical animals he had seen before. Other magical animals, even as powerful as fire dragons and as sacred as unicorns, did not appear in such detail.
social division of labor.
In Cedric's eyes, the mermaids already looked like primitive tribes. They had their own style of architecture and raised other magical animals as their hunting assistants - some houses would have a Grindylow tied in front of the door, and
Obvious distinction between status and wealth.
Some dwellings are just a simple stone shell. Others have a Grindylow in front of the door and a garden full of aquatic plants around them. Generally speaking, the closer to the inside, the more "luxurious" the mermaid's house is.
, the mermaid inside is also stronger.
Cedric faintly heard the singing, and he understood that the mermaid was letting him pass by singing, so he swam towards the singing, which was the center of the mermaid village.
Along the way, more and more mermaids appeared, looking at this strange guest curiously. For the mermaids, wizards are also rare creatures that can be seen in a hundred years.
The number of mermaids is increasing, so much so that Cedric can't count them at all. Just looking at this number, and considering their social structure that is ahead of their peers, Cedric has determined a fact: the mermaids are well-deserved
The underwater overlord.
The sky and land in the magical world belong to wizards, while the water below belongs to mermaids.
He also noticed that all the mermaids who appeared here were males.
Maybe female mermaids would be prettier! This idea suddenly came to his mind.
There was a small square in the center of the mermaid village, where Cedric saw a huge mermaid stone carving, with three people tied to its tail: Tom, Qiu Zhang and Luna.
A large group of mermaids were singing in unison around the statue.
The three hostages were sleeping soundly, with strings of thin blisters popping out of their mouths.
The potion that Professor McGonagall poured into them allowed them to breathe freely underwater, as if they were back in their mother's belly.
Cedric spit out a string of bubbles, took out a knife from his pocket, and cut off the rope of water plants tied to Qiu Zhang.
After rescuing Cho Chang, Cedric suddenly had an idea: If he took away the most important "treasures" of the other warriors, wouldn't they be able to complete their mission?
"No, you can only take your own hostage." A seven-foot-tall mermaid stopped him and used the spear in his hand to persuade Cedric to give up his bold idea.
"Okay." Cedric was not an iron-headed boy. After finding that there was no loophole to exploit, he immediately brought Qiu Zhang up.
Next, he must return to the surface as soon as possible to save more remaining time and obtain a higher score.
About ten minutes after Cedric left, Krum arrived at the mermaid village with a shark head on his head.
His speed is astonishingly fast.
In fact, in the wooden building, Krum wasted far less time than Cedric. After he passed Madam Maxime's test, he rushed into the third floor with a murderous aura. He was lucky.
, he quickly discovered something strange on the sundial, and then he adopted the exact same idea and blew up the tree roots to pass Dumbledore's test.
Dumbledore had nothing to say to these little wizards who didn't play by the rules.
After arriving at the mermaid village, Krum took some time to take Luna back, only seven minutes behind Cedric.
In the end, Cedric finished the game in one hour and fifty-three minutes, while Krum took two hours.
When the two of them were rubbing their bodies on the shore, they saw Fleur running out of the wooden building in a hurry. She had passed through three levels of checkpoints so hard that Cedric and Krum were finished before she could
Just solved the challenge in the wooden building.
However, what pleased Dumbledore was that Fleur understood his intentions perfectly, found various mechanisms he left behind, and used the correct ideas to complete the challenge.
Seeing the two people wiping themselves on the shore, Furong's heart froze. But she didn't waste any time, so she ate the gilly grass and plunged into the lake.
With the help of Gillweed, Fleur was much faster than the other two warriors. But when she saw Tom Yoder sleeping at the bottom of the lake, Fleur still broke through.
She confirmed to the mermaid leader over and over again that this was her mission goal. It was only after asking the mermaid that she had no choice but to confirm the fact: the organizer of the competition really thought that her baby was Tom.
At least she didn't have to let her sister soak at the bottom of the lake. Fleur comforted herself and brought Tom back to the shore.
The final score was no surprise. Cedric, who used the shortest time, got the highest score. However, the gap between him and Klum did not widen - Krum's crisp performance later was so brilliant, which made him
Scored a high score of 60 points, only 7 points behind Cedric
Including the remaining points between the two, Cedric is still first with 75 points, and Krum has 70 points, ranking second with a 5-point disadvantage.
Fleur was even worse. Even though Dumbledore gave her full marks, she only got 45 points in the second event, which made her total score only 47 points...
It can be seen that the victory of the Triwizard Tournament seems to have nothing to do with her.
The second event narrowed the gap between Cedric and Krum, and also created a bit of suspense about the outcome between the two.
After the scores of the three warriors were read out, the second event was about to come to an end.
"The last project will be held on the evening of June 24th. This time the warriors will be informed of the specific content of the project in advance. Thank you all for your support and love for the warriors. See you in June!" In Bagman's high-spirited speech
In the sound, the second event of the Triwizard Tournament was completely over.
"Would you like some hot drinks?" Hermione walked over to the shivering Tom and thrust a small kettle into his hand.
"Thank you." Although he was wiped dry as soon as he came up, Tom still felt uncomfortable after soaking in the ice water for three hours. He couldn't wait to open the hot kettle and found that it was filled with cinnamon wine.
This is a very unique drink, which is made by heating cinnamon powder and red wine together. It has the effect of repelling colds and is very suitable for people with colds. Although the taste is a bit weird, it is just right for Tom now.
