Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 579 The First Event Competition (Scoring)

【happy National Day! 】

"In this way—after the chaos of the fire dragon and the scorpion just now... our game has started normally again..."

Jordan Lee explained bit by bit, trying to find even a few words that could be said from his brain, trying to continue the commentary of the game.

After Ludo Bagman said a few words in a hurry, he cut off the connection on the other side, and the voice from the other side could no longer be heard through the brass horn.
He handed over the dominance of the game commentary to Jordan Lee.

And Professor McGonagall was not beside him, only Snape was staring at him coldly.

This put a lot of pressure on Jordan.

Fortunately, the audience's attention was focused on the new picture displayed on the curtain.

——The battle between the dragon and the scorpion.

No one paid too much attention to this, and he could barely cope with it.

However, McGuffin and Sirius have realized that this situation means that the referees can no longer control the game.

According to the sound revealed from the brass horn just now, it is very likely that the referees might be... in the middle of a dispute about this matter, so Ludo Bagman cut off the connection with this place impatiently.

Although Harry escaped from the 'dangerous situation' just now, his upcoming itinerary may not be very optimistic.

After Sirius (Padfoot) whimpered, he scratched the ground involuntarily with his paws.

He obviously also knows that in his own form, there is nothing he can do.

I can only hope that Dumbledore and Dumbledore can handle this matter quickly, restore contact with this side as soon as possible, and let Ludo Bagman start the game commentary.

……

Bagman took a deep breath. He touched the brass horn badge pinned to his neckline, and opened it without using magic power, connecting to the old classroom.

Because if you really do this, these referees will definitely swallow them alive.

Not even Cornelius Fudge could stop it then.

'Are these guys still considered professors with status in the wizarding world, Headmasters? '

Seeing the referees grabbing the fire dragon in front of them,
Bagman could only sigh helplessly, and fixed his eyes on Barty Krach.

But the director of the Acting Department of Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic seemed unable to understand Ludo Bagman's hint, and just sat in his armchair, silently watching the crystal pyramid floating in front of him.

It looks like they are going to not touch their hands at all, it's something in the Top Ten Tournament.

'This non-stick pan! '

Bagman cursed in his heart, and thought angrily... Barty Crouch just let it go. Could it be that he wanted to make this 'Top Ten Tournament' a joke to hurt Cornelius Fudge's reputation and public opinion?

After all, the "Top Ten Tournament" has always been promoted by our "wise and great" Minister of Magic and Dumbledore.

However, this would also destroy his own reputation.

'Crouch is this guy crazy? '

The suspicion in his heart was like a poisonous snake, constantly gnawing at Bagman's thoughts, making him even more uneasy.

It was becoming more and more difficult for him to understand the current treacherous and difficult situation, so he decided that he would not be this early bird anyway, as long as he did his duty.

At this time, the referees finally compromised on the handling of "that dung-spraying dragon". Of course, the most important thing is to clarify the responsibility for such an accident in the first game.

They put most of the blame on the dragon tamer, and the dragon, and that idiot Ilvermorny warrior, Donald Eastfork.

And after the head of Ilvermorny, Agilbert Fonnert, promised that they would be in charge, and Dumbledore also promised to share some of the dividends brought about by the holding of this competition... the atmosphere finally became harmonious.

Under the instructions of Dumbledore and the referees, Professor McGonagall was finally allowed...and other Ministry of Magic employees and dragon tamers to enter below, to see the situation of the giant Ukrainian iron belly, and to find a way to deal with those 'Fire Dragon Card Golden Kela'.

The warriors who were extremely bored over there finally allowed themselves to come over.

But at this time, the Chinese warrior Chen Xiaolong was so bored... somehow he conjured up a long fishing rod, hung the golden egg on it, and hung it into the square pool in the middle of the platform to fish.

This made Qiao Guohua, the person in charge of the Chinese wizard representative who was still very proud just now, so angry that his veins burst out, he rushed over angrily and grabbed the guy up and reprimanded him.

Krum, with a gloomy face, hugged the golden egg and came over obediently, which made Karkaroff very happy.

Some people are happy, others are sad.

Madam Maxim was very dissatisfied with the performance of her own warrior, Dracor Fleur.

In fact, I don't blame her. After all, she and Camilla Paula were entangled in Donald Eastfork's mess from the very beginning, and were chased by that fire dragon all the way, so they didn't have much time and energy to hunt for the golden egg.

And under the current situation, Maxim slightly enlarged the huge crystal pyramid in front of him with his magic wand, showing the way Dracor Fleur led to here.

There aren't many levels with golden eggs hidden on them anymore.

This made Maxim a little anxious, but she couldn't do much.

At this time, after discussing with others, Ludo Bagman finally regained contact with the auditorium in the old classroom and started explaining the competition.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, there was some minor commotion just now, and I think you've seen it too..." Bagman raised his voice and continued, "...The matter has been resolved satisfactorily. Now, in addition to showing the adventures of the warriors below, we will also explain the referees' ratings on the warriors who completed the competition..."

Bagman's explanation came from the brass speakers, which made McGuffin, Sirius, and Ron Hagrid calm down a lot.

"Jordan, when the first game is not completely over, do you have any guesses about the final result of the game?"

"Mr. Bagman, this... I am more optimistic about Harry, or our school's Cedric Diggory. As a Hogwarts person, he must stick to his own school's warriors." Jordan said.

"Well, that's the truth. The two Hogwarts school's warriors naturally have a higher probability..." Bagman's words caused dissatisfaction among students from other schools in the audience.

However, Snape was able to directly suppress these foreign student representatives, so that although they were full of dissatisfaction, they did not dare to make noise.

"However, it seems that Krum and Chen Xiaolong are more likely to win the game. After all, they seem to be very adaptable to this kind of intense competition..." Bagman continued to explain the game.

"Mr. Bagman, can I transfer the picture to you?" Jordan suddenly made a suggestion.

"Of course, there's no problem with that!"

The scene turned to the referee team, and these referees began to pretend to get along with each other in a very harmonious manner, as if the chaotic dispute just now did not exist.

"Okay, let's start grading?" Ludo Bagman adjusted his collar, and then quickly turned the camera to the referees and the warriors waiting for grading,

"First of all, the first warrior scored by the referees is... the Chinese warrior who is the first to get the golden egg and the first to end the competition——Chen Xiaolong."

"He flexibly used his country's unique magic to obtain the golden egg from a platform full of magic traps, and then... in an unexpected way...flew to the exit."

"Because of that kind of flying magic, not a cheating item brought by the outer space, all the referees have always decided...he finished the game first."

"...now, let's start scoring..."

"Ah, Professor Dumbledore gave a full score of 10, and Professor Qiao Guohua gave it a 9... Oh, Principal Karkaroff gave him a score of 7, probably because Chen Xiaolong didn't show respect to the referee according to the etiquette of the Top Ten Tournament, so the point was deducted..."

"Remove the highest score and remove the lowest score, Chen Xiaolong's warrior score is... 92 points."

"Wow, that's a pretty high score! Isn't it? Jordan..."

"That's right, Mr. Bagman," said Jordan Lee.

"Let's see how the other Warriors fared..."

"Well, let's take a look at Wilktor Krum's scoring situation..."

……

If there's anything worse than a schreck blocking your way, it's having three slush blocking your way.

This situation is not much worse than the 'thrilling' escape just now.

And Harry had to face these monsters raised by Hagrid head-on.

After all, those three golden eggs were as bright as a crown, and they were just put on top of the three fried-tailed snails.

Although there are five people, there is no way to divide three golden eggs.

But depending on the situation, this is also the only place on their journey where they can obtain golden eggs.

So, Harry and Mohammad Nasser, and Donald Donfork, and Camilla Paula, and Dracor Fleur are ready to face this challenge together.

As for Morita Chiko and Cedric Diggory, since they had already obtained the golden eggs, they didn't have to worry about facing these three monsters as big as buses.

Digory actually wanted to give Harry the golden egg back again.

But Harry resolutely refused to accept anything he said.

'If you give it all away, is there any reason to take it back? '

However, even if he had to face such a huge snail, even if he had several other warriors beside him, Harry didn't have the slightest confidence in his heart.

What's more, Harry and the five of them have no sign of unity at all... No, they don't even count as this, at least according to Harry himself, he doesn't trust Donald Eastfork at all,

From the very beginning of the game...to the present...all the behaviors of this guy are not at all reassuring.

Harry had to be careful that this guy ended up snatching the golden egg, he probably did.

Because of this, Harry separated from the team of five, carefully walked around the edge of the black and white stone platform, and prepared to deal with a snail by himself.

But even though he thought so, the Skret didn't seem to be giving Harry that chance.

The three snails gathered in the center of the platform, huddling together, bumping and fighting with each other from time to time, the golden egg was crooked, as if embedded in the top of the forehead, but it just wouldn't fall down.

In the end, Mohammad Nasser couldn't bear it anymore. He waved his wand directly, summoning a piece of yellow sand to cover the stone platform, and then pointed at the few fried-tailed snails.

"Passed out!"

This counts as stabbing a hornet's nest.

Originally, the snail nest was not moving in the center of the platform, and Harry and the others barely had any problems.
But now that they were suddenly attacked, they immediately spewed out a stream of flames from their tails, and rushed directly towards the warriors.

But that spell was useless at all, as soon as it hit the snail's armor, it bounced off.

Almost hit Harry.

"There are obstacles!" Harry yelled, "There are obstacles!"

Harry's spell went off again when it hit the slug's shell, but it did a little bit of good, buying time for Harry to float himself above the platform and avoid being attacked by the slug.

Blast-tailed snails have weaknesses. They can't cast magic, they can't fly, they have poor flexibility, and their abdomens that aren't covered by armor... are still very weak against spells.

This is what Hagrid told Harry.

And the other warriors were clearly prepared, they all knew this, and they all attacked the belly of the snail.

Make these monsters unconscious, or in other words, trapped in place and unable to move.

However, even if they figured out the weakness of the fried-tailed snails, there was still nothing they could do. The fried-tailed snails did not rely on the armor to compare with monsters such as three-headed dogs and fire dragons.

Compared with the deadly force of monsters such as three-headed dogs, fire dragons, eight-eyed spiders, and octopuses, the only advantages of snails are their long lives and relatively strong magic resistance. Combined, they are very difficult to kill.

The potency of ordinary spells can be restored with just a few breaths, and according to Hagrid, even if the snails were cut in half, after putting the thing back together... they could survive.

Therefore, it is very difficult for these warriors to rely on ordinary methods to restrain these snails and take the three golden eggs off their heads.

Harry thought of a way, he waved his wand, floated in the sky and kept attacking the heads of those snails, trying to knock the golden eggs down.

It's a pity that it couldn't be successful.

That thing looks like it's growing on the snail's head.

'If only I could call Hagrid by my side now. '

Harry couldn't help thinking that he was thinking of how Hagrid managed to get the snails into submission with two or three punches last time.

"Stop the diarrhea!"

Suddenly a spell came to mind.

Harry was so startled that he almost fell out of the sky immediately.

He took a closer look, and sure enough it was that Donald Eastfork again.

He cast that 'dreadful' spell.

This is much stronger than the usual diarrhea spell.

After that guy cast the spell on the snails, the tail of one of the snails began to act like a flamethrower... bursting continuously, spewing out white smoke and long flames.

The snail scurried around like a flying balloon.

It's like a crazy big bus that's out of control.

The destructive power is more terrifying than usual.

"Damn idiot, that's how you were last time... Aren't you killing us enough?"

Camilla Paula and Donald pointed at each other with their wands up, cursing back and forth.

Because of this, the two of them were almost hit directly by the snail.

Seeing such a scene, Harry didn't want to go down even more. He tried his best to wave his wand and float himself higher.

When the others saw Harry's method, they also learned it one after another, and successfully floated into the sky.

This time the snails were dumbfounded, two of them stopped, only the fire-breathing one was still running around, unable to stop.
