Chapter 249 Malfoy: Scamander will keep the whole body
Looking at the confused eyes of Harry and Ron, Ludo was stunned.
You two don't even know the mermaid's gift, why are you participating in the chicken competition?
He scratched his head and confirmed again: "You two haven't solved the secret of the golden egg?"
"No." Harry shook his head honestly.
"But we know we have to sneak into the Black Lake to find the mermaid." Ron said quickly.
Ludo twirled a soft beard at the corner of his mouth and frowned thoughtfully. It seemed like someone had told them both about the game.
But it didn’t tell the whole story, and it also missed a key message!
Seeing the change in Ludo's expression, Harry realized that something was wrong, no matter how stupid he was, and he hurriedly asked:
"Mr. Bagman, what is your gift to the mermaid?"
"The gift is..."
At this moment, the curtain of the tent was opened again, and Madame Maxime led the Beauxbatons students into the tent.
Ludo immediately shut his mouth.
Maxim is a powerful woman, and he doesn't want to be caught by the other party for helping Hogwarts students cheat.
After Ludo greeted Maxim, he clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, now that everyone is here - it's time to introduce the specific situation to you!"
"The second project will be carried out under the Black Lake. I think you have all learned this information from the golden egg and are well prepared."
The warriors all nodded, including Harry and Ron, but their expressions looked unnatural.
"You will go to the Black Lake later. Each warrior will separate, enter the water from different ferries, and go to the Mermaid Village alone."
"Is the distance from each ferry to Mermaid Village the same?" A Durmstrang student asked a question that everyone is concerned about.
"Of course it's different." Ludo smiled and said, "The difference between the nearest ferry and the farthest ferry to Mermaid Village is several miles in straight line distance."
The Warriors looked at each other. The gap was so huge. This first-mover advantage was not a small one.
"Is the ferry decided by drawing lots?" a Beauxbatons girl asked.
"No drawing." Ludo shook his head, "Based on the performance of the first event, whoever scores higher will have a shorter journey."
Many people looked at Luo Fu with envy and jealousy.
He was already stronger than others, but now he had a distance advantage, and the gap became even wider.
But there is no way, who can let someone’s first project be the first?
Ludo looked at his watch and said, "Okay, the time is up, we should go."
Harry and Ron also wanted to take advantage of the way to the Black Lake to secretly ask what the gift was and ask someone to borrow some gifts.
But as soon as they walked out of the tent, a group of staff came over and led everyone towards their respective ferries.
Harry and Ron were immediately dumbfounded. They were like students coming to the examination room. They were shocked to learn that they were going to take the test, some of which they had not reviewed at all...
I still wanted to cram it for a while, but the invigilator was already here.
Luo Fu quickly followed Ludo to the black lake. Thousands of seats were lined up on the shore, reflecting in the lake.
All the teachers and students in the school were out, sitting on chairs and making noisy noises.
Luofu saw fifteen more huge magic curtains floating in mid-air, with small advertisements playing on them.
Rove remembered that in the original time and space, the second and third events of the Triwizard Tournament were not broadcast live at all.
The spectators sat in the cold wind for several hours and saw nothing. Let alone the experience of watching the game, they simply went to suffer.
Due to Rove's butterfly effect, the second project was still live broadcast, which has to be said to be a good thing.
Ludo pointed the wand at his throat and said, "The voice is loud!"
His voice soon sounded like thunder, passing over the dark black lake and reaching the stands.
"Listen up, everyone, our warriors are already at other ferries in the Black Lake. They will go deep into the bottom of the lake to find the mermaid village, and get guidance from the mermaid to regain what was stolen from them."
"They have two full hours, and I'll start on the count of three. One...two...three!"
Sharp whistles echoed in the cold, still air, and cheers and applause erupted from the stands.
The little wizards all stared closely at Rolf standing on the shore, wanting to see which method he used to enter the water.
But Rolf did not use transformation, nor did he take magic potion, nor did he use the head soaking spell. He just calmly took out a... scale from his pocket.
It was a golden scale. It was warm, as if it were alive, and shone with golden light, shining brighter than gold.
Ludo, who had returned to the referee's seat, his slightly incomprehensible voice soon resounded throughout the Black Lake.
"Scamander took out a scale from his pocket. What does he want to do?"
Octavius Arkus, who was sitting next to him, narrowed his one eye and suddenly said: "They are the scales of the golden twin-tailed mermaid..."
Luofu looked at the golden scale, which was peeled off from Myrcella's body. According to the girl, this scale was soaked in body fluids.
As long as you hold it in your mouth, you can breathe underwater.
Luofu put the scales in his mouth, feeling the original scales with the smell of seaweed, sea and mermaid, then flew towards the center of the lake and plunged into the water.
At the same time, far downstream, other warriors also entered the water one after another.
…
…
Standing at the door of the tent, Malfoy stared uneasily into the distance, and heard a faint whistle in his ears.
The game must have begun, Malfoy thought gloomily, and when the group of students finished, it would be their turn again.
Suddenly there was a cry from behind, followed by an angry scolding.
"Shut up, Crabbe, stop crying!"
"Ada, let him cry, he is also scared." Malfoy turned around and comforted her.
Who is not afraid?
They started with nine people, and one-third of them died in the first project. The death rate was so terrifying. Who knew if they would be one-third of the people in the second project?
Not to mention that there is a third project... I am really rushing to destroy them!
Not to mention Crabbe, even Malfoy was terribly frightened. His child was still young, and although his wife was no longer young, her charm was still there.
What will the orphaned and widowed family do if Malfoy dies?
"But he was crying so much that I couldn't sleep." Little Ada Avery yelled impatiently, "I really want to give him a gut-wrenching blow."
After Avery finished speaking, he stood up and left the tent cursing.
Malfoy looked at Crabbe and Goyle with frightened faces, and whispered:
"Don't pay attention to him. This time we will do the same as before. We will find a place to hide when we enter the Black Lake. We will survive until the end of the game... we will definitely not die."
Crabbe and Goyle both nodded.
Malfoy looked at Alecto Carlo in the corner again and asked, "Where is your brother? Isn't it because he doesn't dare to come?"
"Amycus is at the bottom of the Black Lake. He will come when the trouble is solved." Alecto smiled and said, "It won't delay the game."
"He went to ambush Scamander?!" Malfoy said in shock.
"Yes, didn't Amycus say before the first project started that he was going to kill Scamander?" Alecto put his feet on a chair and said lazily:
"My brother endured it for so long before taking action, which already surprised me."
Malfoy's expression changed, and he stared at Alecto. After a while, he sighed:
"You'd better prepare to collect the body as soon as possible."
"It's hard to tell." Alecto joked: "Amycus likes to torture corpses. He plays rough, and he probably won't leave a whole corpse for Scamander."
"No, you misunderstood, Alecto. I meant you go collect your brother's body." Malfoy said expressionlessly:
"Scamander will definitely leave his body intact."
