After hearing Harry's uneasy inquiry, Ryan stared at Harry seriously. When Harry felt a little uneasy, he opened his mouth and said: "If you feel uneasy, I will practice with you a little this week."
Okay, in fact, you only need to master a few basic spells you have mastered. There is no need to be so nervous. By the way, if you believe me, you can give me your usage quota, and I will use this time to make something.
, I think at least this should be more cost-effective than buying the finished product directly."
"No problem." Harry nodded vigorously. "I will give you all my credit."
"Thank you for trusting me." After finishing speaking, Len stood up and patted Harry on the shoulder, and then said while walking to the back studio. "I assure you that the magic props we use are definitely better than the other two."
In the next few days, Ryan first made two bottles of underwater breathing potion. According to his deduction, it was probably too late to change the first game, so they simply added a few dragons and called it a day.
However, the organizers of the second game had much more time to prepare than the first game. At this time, in order to make the game more beautiful, they may have directly expanded the content of the game. In other words, they mixed the original underwater rescue into this new one.
As a link in the new competition, at least it can save a lot of trouble, and at the same time, the original arrangement will not be wasted.
In addition to preparing props, Ryan spent part of his time training Harry. The tents where the contestants now live should be specially approved by the Ministry of Magic. In addition to an ordinary three-bedroom room, there is also a laboratory and a magic practice
Room. The two of them are currently practicing fighting temporarily in the magic training room.
"Why are the magic spells used by the two of us so simple when we practice? Except for the Disillusionment Charm, I already know all the other spells?" Harry asked curiously after the day's practice. "For example, the Disarming Charm, Iron Armor
Curse, crushing curse or something."
"You watched me while I was making alchemy. To be honest, do you think you can learn it in these five days?" Ryan asked after hearing Harry's complaint.
"Definitely not." Harry admitted simply. "But what does this have to do with practicing the spells you already know all day long?"
"Spells and alchemy are the same. It is not easy to master new things proficiently. In ancient China, a general once said that when going to the battlefield, it is enough to use 1/3 of what you know.
It's very good. Those who can perform half of their abilities are outstanding talents. In his whole life of fighting, he has never seen anyone who can perform 100% of his abilities on the battlefield. Our competition is also equivalent to a battlefield. As long as you can combine those basic skills.
Just be proficient in combat spells to ensure that they can be used at critical moments. Blindly seeking new and powerful spells will most likely lower our level on the field."
"I understand." Harry stood up and walked to the corner of the practice room to continue practicing the basic spells. I have to say that Harry is indeed talented in Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Ryan found that he has improved in this area in the past few days.
There is visible improvement in the ability to cast spells every day.
The five days passed quite quickly, and all the contestants were quickly gathered together again. All six contestants were called to a tent by the Forbidden Forest to listen to Crouch announcing the competition.
"Nice to see you again, ladies and gentlemen." Although he said he was happy, Crouch's stiff face showed no joy at all. "I believe everyone has been happy in the past five days.
Get ready for the next game." After saying that, he glanced at the people below.
The game plans of each school can be seen from everyone's costumes. The players from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons each carry different things, which shows that they all choose to cooperate with each other but fight independently in the game. Only
The two Hogwarts contestants uniformly wore a leather armed belt, which in addition to a small leather bag also contained a row of test tubes containing various potions. In addition, both of them had a pair of straps tied to their thighs.
A dagger.
Bagman next to him said with a smile: "The game will start in half an hour, so let's talk about the specific content of this game first, which is to rescue the hostages and collect the gold medal. Every golden egg in the first game is
It has been made into four gold medals. You need to go to the Black Lake to get your own gold medal first, and then combine the gold medal with the crystal in your hand. In this way, the gold medal will show other identical golden eggs after entering the Forbidden Forest.
The other three gold medals are produced and located at the exit. One of the gold medals is with your hostage. The contestants need to arrive at the exit with the hostage at the same time to end the game."
After finishing this long list in one breath, Bagman wiped the sweat from his head. Crouch glanced at him with some dissatisfaction and said: "There are some details that need to be added. First, everyone in the Black Lake
You can only take your own gold medal and are not allowed to touch other people's. Secondly, half an hour after entering the Forbidden Forest, the gold medal on your hand will show the location of all gold medals, but not including the gold medal in the lake.
Position. At the same time, the gold medals taken away will also disappear from the display. Third, the Forbidden Forest allows contestants to obtain other people's gold medals, including searching and robbing. Finally, two hours after the first contestant enters the Forbidden Forest
At the end of the game, the scores of all contestants who did not reach the exit with the hostages will be zero. Do you understand now?"
"What if I arrive at the exit with just the hostage?" Diane, another Beauxbatons player, asked.
"Then it's a pity that you will only have the basic points of one hostage. The basic points of each hostage are only equivalent to the points of a gold medal. Please remember that this game only counts as long as you come out within the specified time. Coming out early will not
Earn extra points for you.”
"Can I attack the hostage?" Krum asked in a deep voice.
"This is absolutely not allowed. Regardless of whether you attack a hostage or a hostage attacks someone else, the score of the attacker and the player corresponding to the attacker will be reset to zero. There will be monitoring magic on you and the hostages, so don't try to do small tricks."
After seeing that no one asked any other questions, the two Ministry of Magic officials left. All the contestants sat there in a serious atmosphere until the bell rang half an hour later.
After the contestants heard the bell, the fish passed through the door of the tent, and then walked along the path and lawn beside the Forbidden Forest towards the Black Lake. Ryan saw that the seats for the fire dragon fighting competition last November were now lined up on the other side of the lake.
, was already packed, and was reflected in the lake below.
It was the coldest morning in winter. The trees were covered with frost, as if they were seeping frost. The sky was blue, like a shining mirror. The sunlight passed through, bright and cold, and shone on the cold lake, making no trace of it.
There is no warmth effect.
The judges sat at another table covered with a golden tablecloth by the water. The players walked directly in that direction.
Dumbledore smiled and winked at Ryan and Harry, while Crouch sat indifferently behind the long table, not even looking at them.
Madame Maxime smiled softly, as if nothing could ruin her good mood, while Karkaroff only gathered around his precious student Krum to ask questions.
Ludo Bagman's voice suddenly echoed across the lakeside: "This competition is a large-scale event involving water and land. The warriors are already in place. As soon as I blow the whistle, the second event begins. They will save themselves in the competition.
The hostages. I count to three. One...two...three!"
Sharp whistles echoed in the cold, still air. A burst of cheers and applause erupted from the stands, and the game officially began.
