Harry Potter's Otherworldly Archmage

Chapter 164 The Malice of the Age Line

"The representative of Beauxbatons is a woman? Although there are not many conceptual differences in gender in the magic world, girls will still be at a slight disadvantage in competitive activities, let alone this extremely dangerous triwizard competition." .” Malfoy looked at Fleur with some surprise.

Krum smiled understandingly, "Don't be deceived by her appearance, according to the information collected by our principal, this senior, even in the whole of Europe, is extremely capable of defeating her in a head-to-head duel." Minority."

When the golden plates were being scrubbed again, Dumbledore stood up again.A mixture of excitement and tension seemed to pervade the auditorium. "The moment has come at last," said Dumbledore, smiling into a drawn face. "The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I would like to explain a few words first."

"Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman have carefully reviewed the specific events for this year's Warriors' competition," said Dumbledore—as Filch carefully placed the box on the table in front of him, "they Much of the necessary arrangement was also made for each of the projects. There are three projects, taking place at different times throughout the school year, which will test the warriors in many different ways...their prowess in magic—their guts and Their powers of reasoning—and, of course, their ability to overcome danger."

Augustus quietly looked at the box in front of Dumbledore. The magical fluctuations on the box shone with a dark blue light under the action of the scrying eye. If you guessed right, the props for electing a warrior should be the items in the box , but with such a magical effect, there is still a certain degree of confidence in applying the confusion spell to it.

"Three projects? As always, if it is as expected, I am afraid that the interval between each project is about half a month, so that the preparation time for the warriors will be quite sufficient. Of course, internal cheating, secret operations between schools , may also appear endlessly in this half month, even if the World Cup cannot be avoided, competitions such as the Triwizard Hegemony cannot be avoided." Lilian's eyes wandered on the teacher's table, and she said casually.

Saul looked thoughtfully at the two headmasters of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, "Hogwarts is the home court. Even with the so-called black box and bias, the advantage should be the warriors of our school. For these behind-the-scenes The method is actually the unspoken rule that everyone defaults to, so naturally there is nothing to theorize about it."

Dumbledore drew his wand and tapped the lid of the box in front of him three times.The lid creaked slowly open.Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, rough-hewn wooden goblet.The cup itself was inconspicuous, but it was filled with dancing blue and white flames.

Dumbledore closed the box and placed the cup on the lid so that everyone in the auditorium could see it clearly.

"Every student who wants to run for a warrior must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet," said Dumbledore. Sign up inside. Tomorrow night, Halloween night, the Goblet will select the names of the three students it thinks best represent the three schools. Tonight, the Goblet will be in the foyer for all All the students have access to it.”

"In order to prevent underage students from being overwhelmed," said Dumbledore, "when the goblet is placed in the hall, I will draw an age line around it. No one under the age of seventeen will be able to cross this line." line."

The corners of Augustus's mouth outlined a perfect arc, and his silver pupils showed a hint of a smile. At 17 years old, the magic effect is placed on the age line of deception. Is it a bit too big to use.

Loki looked over the long table and landed on the goblet, and stroked his chin ponderingly. "It seems that the Goblet of Fire's mechanism for selecting warriors should be relatively rigid. Otherwise, there will be no additional measures such as the age limit. If it can automatically distinguish the age of applicants and directly screen out those who are unqualified, it should be better than the age limit." It's more insurance, after all, it's definitely easier to cross a simple magic line. Maybe, a bottle of aging potion can pass the test smoothly."

"With the restrictions set by Dumbledore himself, what effect do you think a simple bottle of potion will have? If you can't find out where the critical point of the limit is, I am afraid that no student who does not meet the age requirements will be able to pass." Thor shrugged meaninglessly, indicating that Loki was a little whimsical.

"Critical point?" Loki sneered disdainfully, "Indeed, any restrictive effect formed by the magic circle will have a critical point of breaking the formation, but you think it's just a circle of ordinary age boundaries, without any geometric content of magic at all." Detection, will there be a critical point?"

Dumbledore continued to say something about the rules of the Tournament, and then announced the dissolution.The Beauxbatons seem to be living in Ravenclaw, and Durmstrang is back on his huge ship.

Nothing to say all night, the next day was Saturday, when Augustus, Lilian, and Malfoy came from the Slytherin lounge to the foyer, there were already more than 20 people gathered there, some of them were still eating Bread, they were all looking at the Goblet of Fire carefully.The cup stood in the middle of the hall, on the stool where the Sorting Hat usually stood.A thin gold line was drawn on the floor, ten feet long on each side, round the cup.

Augustus casually looked at the golden thread around the Goblet of Fire, casually crossing his hands on his chest. Although it was made by Dumbledore, unfortunately, limited by the magic knowledge of this world, there are still too many ways to crack it.

There was laughter behind him, and Fred, George, and Lee Jordan hurried down the stairs, all three looking extremely excited.

"There," Fred whispered triumphantly to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, "just down."

"What?" Ron asked.

"Aging agent, idiot," Fred said.

The three stood in front of the Goblet of Fire confidently. George shouted triumphantly, and jumped forward following Fred—but then a hissing sound was heard, and a pair of twins were thrown out of the golden circle. It was as if an invisible shot putter had thrown them out.They fell ten feet away in agony on the cold stone floor, and they were humiliated beyond physical pain.With a loud pop, identical long white beards sprouted from their chins.

There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Augustus shook his head helplessly, then turned and walked out of the hall.
