This advertisement was thought up by the Ogden family long ago. Lee Jordan was still thinking about how to add this advertisement in a natural and logical way when explaining the game, and Krum's active cooperation undoubtedly provided him with A best chance.

As for the face or something... When Li O Jordan recites the advertisement words again, there will be no more waves in his heart. It's like the first time a salesperson is training to call a guest, and it only takes two or three times to get used to it.

"I didn't expect the wizarding world to be doing a decent job of commercializing it... It looks like the advertising dollars should pay for itself," Major told Lockhart.

"Humph..." Lockhart sneered meaningfully twice.

He knew that the Prime Minister was testing the population of the wizarding world. After all, according to what Lockhart said earlier in the "Hogsmeade Regional Council", the population of the wizarding world is only about 10,000 people. The Prime Minister should not believe 10,000 people. This kind of economy can be supported.

Muggles don't know that wizards have extremely low Engel coefficients (food as a percentage of total expenditure), so the economic model they use to speculate on wizards must be wrong.

Because of Sirius' bad father, Lockhart believes that the wizards can be a little stronger in this regard to make up for their own mistakes.

Better to make them think wizards can conjure food out of thin air, that's even better

"Dobby!" he called to his feet, sending us out a few French dishes, the same kind that were used to entertain guests at Hogwarts last time. "

"Okay, master!"

With a bang in the air, a colorful "dumpling" appeared out of thin air in front of the guests.

This "dumpling" is, of course, Dobby the house-elf.

This guy has very poor aesthetic taste, and he is actually a "moonlight clan".

As soon as the money was in his hands, he exchanged all his wages for hats, clothes, and, most importantly, socks of all colors.

It's enough to buy clothes, but the clothes he likes are those bright colors that Lockhart thinks are particularly vulgar.

But there is no way. As a free house elf, this is a genuine "negative freedom". Lockhart has no right to interfere. As long as it works without problems, Lockhart has no reason to interfere with it. Dress up.

Dobby appeared in front of the two Muggle political leaders with a comical appearance and managed to startle them.

At this moment, Lockhart could very well understand the tendency of some pure-blood wizards to play tricks on Muggles, because it was so cool.

Chapter 329 Nothing is an impossible task

As the host, Lockhart invited the two Muggle dignitaries to a rather hearty lunch, which was not without enthusiasm.

It's just that Mrs. Rimington eats a little absent-mindedly, even though Dobby's craft has grown considerably since his studies in the Hogwarts kitchen.

Because Lockhart once again disrupted their assessment of the wizarding world.

In addition to wizards, they can actually drive the magical creatures with wisdom such as "Tomb Raising Elves" to carry out production activities, which means that they can no longer use the simple wizard population to calculate the combat ability of wizards.

Prime Minister Major was quite happy, because he never thought about going to war with wizards.

And MI5 is different - as the country's intelligence services, they must make plans for all possible situations, even if the probability of occurrence is small.

For example, Argentina refused to admit defeat and suddenly decided to fight the Falklands war again; or the United States suddenly asked Britain to join forces to go to Iraq to cure all kinds of dissatisfaction; or Russia suddenly decided to send troops to Ukraine, or even aliens attacked the earth. .

Although these things are unlikely to happen, they must make relevant plans in advance. "Worrying about the sky" is a mockery to others, but it is their own work for the intelligence department.

How powerful is the wizard, this is a question worth continuing to explore

Just as Mrs Rimington was cranky, the second game of the Big Five

And finally entered the most exciting moment

Krum and the others found Hydra's lair, and then used a lot of food to lure it out of the mud.

Then the two of them took the broom while it was out to eat, dropped the dried birch bark and pine needles into its lair, and set it on fire.

When the Hydra found something wrong and threw the food back, its lair had already turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the murderer who set it on fire was nowhere to be seen.

The pine needles and birch bark are just a fire, and the magical flames of Durmstrang's warriors are nothing but a stick of wood, and the reason why the fire can burn so big is mainly because swampy land.

Peat soil is rich in all kinds of organic humus and carbon deposits, and it is the best fuel in itself when dried, so they just have to let the land dry and it will burn itself.

When the Hydra saw that its lair was destroyed, it was naturally furious. Unfortunately, Krum and the others jumped on the broom immediately after setting the fire. They ran as far as they wanted, and they didn't give it a chance to retaliate at all. .

You must know that the blood of this thing is also highly poisonous. When it gets angry, the surrounding air will also be dyed into poisonous mist. Can't even breathe.

In particular, this is still a Paleozoic Hydra, and the top of the largest head has open eyes, which can be breathtaking. No matter how arrogant Krum is, he doesn't think he can deal with it.

Failing to find the culprit, Hydra had to figure out how to deal with her lair first, or it would burn up.

It came to a nearby swamp and rolled with mud in it, then rushed back to the lair and rolled back and forth. When the mud was dry, it shook off the mud and went back to the swamp to roll again. All over again, again and again

Come.

It took more than half an hour for Hydra to finally put out the fire and preserve the overall structure of his lair.

And it even got a blessing in disguise—its nest in a rock crevice was rolled with a layer of mud, and then burned again, forming a whole impermeable carbon brick.

It looked at its new home, exhausted, but still satisfied—at least not a white laborer.

After Hydra went back to the lair to rest, Krum and the others didn't hear any movement before they crept back to the arson scene, and found a few scales of Hydra from the debris everywhere.

Anyway, the mission only needs scales, and they don't have to fight with this thing.

Seeing that the two of them got the quest props, Durmstrang's students finally burst into cheers.

Although they are the slowest to complete the task, they are the strongest at what they have to deal with, so although it takes them the longest to travel the farthest, they also achieve the most.

Relatively speaking, although the five-legged monster that Beauxbatons dealt with was quite ferocious, it was still a lot easier to deal with after all.

Fleur boldly used a charm spell on the five-legged monster, and succeeded in making it mistaken for Fleur as one of their kind.

Then, without Furong's hands, they ripped off their own hairs, and used them to make a nest, and then scrambled to ask Furong for love, and even fought each other.

Because of the human face on the back of the five-legged monster, there has always been a legend in the wizarding world that it was the result of a bloodline curse in an ancient wizarding family, and Fleur's performance today seems to be in line with it.

proved this.

"Sadly, some people are no better than the five-legged monster in the face of beauty.

' Hermione commented, glancing at the booing men, including Roin.

Furong easily got the hair of the five-legged monster, but unfortunately she accidentally overplayed it. When she wanted to escape, the five-legged monsters rioted together and came to chase after her.

- One after another, magical rays of light spewed from the mouth of the five-legged monster, and because the broom was carrying two people, it couldn't fly fast at all, and Furong and the others almost overturned the car because of this.

If she does accidentally drop the broom and falls into the pentapod, then the next live video is likely to only be played in some restricted places.

Fortunately, the magical zoologists arranged here by the Ministry of Magic acted in time: they sprayed hypnotic powder into the air, and finally let these five-legged monsters fall asleep one by one.

Furong had no time to thank them too much and had to embark on the return journey. Because of the tight time, they were likely to be unable to grab the next mission.

After the observation of these two groups of foreign friends was over, the camera was finally given to the two warriors at Hogwarts.

Originally, the habitat of the eight-eyed giant spider was not far away, but it took them a lot of time to find the entry point, and they had to be careful about the fine spider webs between the wood pair and Tao I in the forest.

Although setting fire to drive away spiders is a safe choice, as Li O Jordan said, only his own people know what they feel bad for, and neither Cedric nor Harry is willing to set fire in the Forbidden Forest.

And the last method they used was a little risky - Cedric deformed a felled tree and turned it into a basilisk according to Harry's description.

Because he is a person who has personally experienced fighting with a basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, the basilisk that Harry guided Cedric's Transfiguration can be described as vivid "and full of details, even the stench in the mouth and the hiss of the snake's language are simulated came out.

Harry knew that the most feared natural enemy of the eight-eyed spiders was the basilisk, and the first reaction to seeing the basilisk would definitely be to run away, rather than stay and besiege.

To this end, Harry also used the "shining pattern" magic that Lockhart taught them, and cooperated with Cedric's "basilisk" to scare the adult eight-eyed giant spiders.

Their strategy was also very successful - the eight-eyed giant spiders did not dare to stop to identify the authenticity of the basilisk, but fled in all directions the moment the "basilisk" appeared, lest they run too slowly, It will be chewed in the mouth by the basilisk and turned into a crispy chicken-flavored snack.

Harry and the others seized the opportunity and placed their hands on a single eight-eyed giant spider.

Harry used the Obstruction Charm, and Cedric used the Stunning Charm to hit the eight-eyed spider together.

Its companions did not dare to help it at all, and they were even glad that one of their companions was finally killed by natural enemies-because in this way, when the basilisk was full, it would not come to find itself.

The two Hogwarts warriors took the opportunity to drag the comatose eight-eyed giant spider into a small bush beside the road, and took out a large bottle and placed it under its body, slashing its glands, and Venom was collected.

Chapter 330 I read a lot, don't try to lie to me

Sirius was overjoyed when he saw that his godson had successfully completed his mission.

"Good job Harry, so we've got eight and six.

He shouted while patting the table, not taking the other two VIPs at the table to heart at all.

But Major didn't care. Instead, he pointed to Cedric and Harry and asked Lockhart curiously: "Are those two leading warriors from the UK?"

"Yes."

"Are they proud of it? I mean, how much do they identify with Britain?"

Unlike Mrs. Rimington, Major never kept a secret when asking this kind of question, because he thought it would make it easier for people to misunderstand that he was mean.

Sure enough, Lockhart answered happily.

"Both warriors are pure blood, but the dark-haired and bespectacled one was raised in a Muggle family and received a basic education in a government primary school. As for the other... I believe he identifies with Britain, but The Britain he knows may not be the same as the two of you," he said.

Mrs. Rimington interjected curiously: "So, you know 'our cognition' very well? "

Lockhart shook his suit quite arrogantly: "To tell you the truth, my university is at Oxford, majoring in political science."

Needless to say, both Prime Minister Major and Mrs Rimington were taken aback.

"Oxford? Uh...you have..." Major couldn't believe it.

"It's not us, it's that Oxford University... Ah, Ms. Rimington, you don't have to bother looking for my student records, you won't find it." Lockhart said with a determined expression.

Hearing him say that, it was incredible not only for the two Muggles, but Sirius as well.

It’s not that wizards don’t know Oxford University. Oxford was founded at the end of the 11th century, and when it was sponsored by the royal family, it developed even more rapidly. Many wizards also studied at Oxford University.

It was only when the enlightened Middle Ages ended and Europe entered the dark Renaissance period, Muggles began a three-century-long campaign of expelling witches, and Oxford University, one of the training places for wizard scholars, also closed the channel for wizards.

To this end, wizards had to protect themselves by passing and enacting the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy at the end of the 17th century, and wizards have not entered the gates of Oxford University since.

The Black family, as a sacred 28, naturally had many ancestors who studied in Oxford, but that was more than 300 years ago, and Lockhart actually went there to study at some unknown time, which made Sirius feel puzzling. .

But Major and Mrs. Rimington had something of a sudden realization—if the wizard had also studied at Oxford, his knowledge of the Muggle world would have been less surprising.

"No wonder..." Prime Minister Major understood completely, "I just said it, your words and your style are so familiar to me, very close to those civil servants, I thought they were mine. Delusion, I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect to have received the same education." Mrs. Rimington took the Prime Minister's words.

Lockhart smiled and didn't say that to her.

He could even retell many details of Oxford Academy life if he wanted to, but he wasn't sure if it was the same in this world.

With Cedric and Harry returning on broomsticks, the game finally came to an end.

If someone told the audience before the game that these dolls under the age of 18 could deal with hydras and eight-eyed giant spiders, and retrieve some parts from them, few people would believe it.

But facts speak louder than words. Although these warriors are young, they are not lacking in courage and wisdom in the face of powerful enemies. Hydra, eight-eyed spiders, five-legged monsters and other seemingly "impossible tasks" "It was solved by several warriors one after another.

The rune snake is indeed difficult to deal with, but in the face of African wizards who are familiar with its habits, it is a kind of luck that it can not die.

In fact, even if the wizards don't care about it, the rune will not survive to adulthood because of the habit of the three heads like to attack each other. The warriors of Vagadu easily got it when the three heads were fighting. Egg.

So far, the only one of the 9 numbers that has not been obtained is the one (C)

Because there were two swept 9s, and both missions were completed not far from Hogwarts, Cedric and Harry were the first to return to Hogmore after they retrieved the venom of the Octopus. The man of Germany was even faster than the Ilvermorny warrior who only completed "2".

After handing in the task and confirming that they had obtained two numbers, they couldn't help but look at the last number "0" on the task list, which is the invisible beast.

It is located on Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, further west than Hogwarts.

Both Cedric and Harry hesitated because they weren't sure it was worth the risk.

The two of them are now holding 8 and 6 in their hands, which are already the largest sum of numbers among the warriors in each group. Even if they don't go for this 0, they should be able to finish this round with the first place. Even if they accomplish the task, it doesn't seem to do them any good to get a number "0".

Besides, this "0" is too difficult to catch some—invisible monsters can not only be invisible, but also have certain predictive power, so ordinary people can't catch it at all.

Venture to the highest snow-capped mountain in the UK for an uncertain small gain, and it's still "months", and it's a bit of a loss.

Seeing that the warriors at Hogwarts hesitated, the audience was quite interested in watching the fun. They shouted loudly in taverns, theaters, etc., demanding that the two warriors leave immediately.

Even Sirius was no exception, shouting "James won't back down here, Harry!", jumping up and down on the roof like no one else, and seeing the eyelids of "Mrs. M" following him The action keeps jumping.

If such a person wants to work under his own hands, the future of MI5 may not be very good.

The two warriors looked at the time and found that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon. In theory, they still had time to go back and forth.

I can totally understand if you don't want to go. "Cedric said to Harry, "But you see, now the numbers from 1 to 9 have been claimed, and only 0 is left. "

"Let's go," Harry replied flatly, "I'm going to get my Invisibility Cloak, we can use it to hide, and use food to lure the Invisibility..."

Cedric shook his head gently: "The Invisibility Cloak can't isolate the prophecy of the Invisible Monster...

But now we really have no other good way, we can try
