Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 168
In a blink of an eye, it was night.The supper ended, amidst an eerie calm and restlessness.

Lu Yunkai ate it calmly, but Daphne beside him looked like a steamed crab, her face was flushed.

She regretted why she chose to eat with her back facing the wall in order to watch the fun today.

As a result, she found that at least one-third of the people in the auditorium were staring at her...well, well, they were actually staring at Lu Yunkai beside her.

This matter... really can't blame others, it has to be blamed on her own head.

Lu Yunkai didn't want to sell potions to Malfoy at first, and that matter was over, but she thought it was a fool to have money and not make money, so she took two bottles of potions from Lu Yunkai and went to Pan Xi.

It was heard that Daphne had gone to great lengths, and even used some "inconvenient to describe" methods, to help her get the potion from Lu Yunkai. Without saying a word, Pan Xi directly agreed to use three thousand gold to add Long bought the two bottles of medicine from Daphne.

Of course, it's a model of paying back the IOUs...

Then, with the support of his girlfriend, Malfoy took the potion and tried to sign up.

success.

Two people in a row successfully signed up with the same method! !The news suddenly grew wings and flew all over Hogwarts.

It's just that the cost of this medicine also flew all over the school.

Three Thousand Gold Galleons! !

The champion of this series is only given a thousand...

But wait a minute, who is participating in this competition for the prize money!That's an honor! !Is there eternal glory! !

As a result, Daphne suddenly had a lot of "inquiry".

She took all the orders, and then resold them...

She sold seventeen sets of potions in one afternoon.

A total of [-] Galleons!Lu Yunkai even said that Daphne only needs to give him one thousand Galleons for materials, and the other fifty thousand is her "commission for hard work"...

Daphne swears, she has lived for so many years, never thought that one day she could easily earn so much money!

But only now did she realize that she was ashamed.

She wished the dinner party would be over quickly so she could hide back in the dormitory.

And finally as she wished, after dinner, Dumbledore stood up and came to the podium.

The original buzzing sound in the hall disappeared in an instant, and those eyes cast on Lu Yunkai finally turned to the elder with the white beard.

however.

"I hope everyone is full. After all, for some students, today's dinner is not cheap."

Following Dumbledore's first words, almost everyone in the hall instinctively looked at Lu Yunkai.

Daphne buried her head directly under the table.

It was Lu Yunkai, with a smile on his face, as if he was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

"The original intention of the Ministry of Magic is to ensure the safety of the students participating in the competition, and the age of 17 is just the most common way to judge the degree of your magic learning. If a student's ability exceeds his grade, there are also Proving their urgency, then we can't completely prevent them from proving their ideas." Dumbledore smiled and glanced at Bagman with a smile on his face on the rostrum, and the still expressionless Righteous Crouch, "In fact, we all believe that the Goblet of Fire will make the most suitable choice for the players who are suitable to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. Otherwise, it would be better for each of our schools to select, nominate, and then come to the competition."

Bagman nodded, Crouch was dumb.

I don't have any idea of ​​proving myself, I just think it's fun to crack your magic.Lu Yunkai complained silently in his heart.

"Now, let the Goblet of Fire make its judgment." Dumbledore drew out his wand with a smile, and then waved it in the direction of the foyer outside the auditorium.

The stone platform on which the Goblet of Fire was placed flew into the auditorium and landed in front of everyone.

The age circle with blue light is still there.

Dumbledore lifted the spell he set and came to the Goblet of Fire.

"I estimate that the Goblet of Fire will announce its decision soon. At that time, I hope that the students selected by it can come to the front. On the one hand, I can introduce them to the students. On the other hand, I will also accept some questions about The most basic training for the competition..." Dumbledore waved his wand again while speaking.

The brightly lit auditorium instantly darkened a lot.

Those simple lighting candles were all extinguished with his wave, leaving only those somewhat decorative candles placed in the jack-o-lantern still flickering.

After the surroundings became dark, the flames of the Goblet of Fire became more and more dazzling and bright.

Then, just wait.Everyone in the auditorium was staring at the ugly wooden cup.

I don't know how long I waited.

at last.

puff.

As the flames in the Goblet of Fire suddenly dimmed, a group of small flames flew out of the cup, and then, as if time had reversed, the flames slowly spread outwards. Among them, a piece of burnt parchment Strips show traces.

And as the flames of the paper flying into the air were completely extinguished, the fire in the Goblet of Fire returned to its original bright blue-white color.

Standing by the Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore reached out and grabbed the parchment, glanced at it, and then showed it to the hall.

"The champion of Durmstrang... Viktor Krum."

In an instant, applause and cheers resounded throughout the auditorium.

Not a surprise result at all.

Even Lu Yunkai, who was applauding, had a smile on his face.

Today, Durmstrang put in a total of ten people's names, and they all thought they were playing with them...

The applause lasted for a long time, but he stood up with a smile on his face, clapped his hands with the students beside him, and walked towards the front desk. Before he could leave the table, the bright Goblet of Fire dimmed again .

Another piece of parchment flew out.

"The champion of Beauxbatons, Fleur Delacour."

Dumbledore caught the note and read it again.

But this time, the applause was still warm, but the atmosphere was different.

Unlike Krum's normal smile just now, Fleur was obviously taken aback when she heard her name, and then shouted out excitedly.

The younger sister sitting next to her hugged her excitedly.

The sisters didn't even care about the fact that the veil fell from their faces.

Sitting not far from her, there were a few students of Beauxbaton who should also feel that they were very likely to be selected, and their expressions were obviously very bad...

This time the Goblet of Fire waited a bit longer, just like it took Fleur a long time to calm down.

Then, like Krum, she came to the front desk.

Krum also greeted the excited Fleur in a gentlemanly manner, and the two shook hands in a friendly manner.

Then, the auditorium fell silent.

Everyone is waiting for the last, and most importantly, the birth of the Hogwarts warriors who will be playing at home today.

however.

It was indeed a long time.

So much so that Minister Bagman frowned and planned to stand up.

Finally, the flames dimmed.

A dark red flame that looked like magma from hell flew out of the Goblet of Fire wrapped in something.

Dumbledore caught it, unfolded it, and was slightly taken aback.

Almost everyone present was taken aback when they saw Dumbledore's expression.

"...The hero of Hogwarts, Lu Yunkai."

Dumbledore unfolded the note in his hand.

All quiet.

No applause.

Almost everyone looked over at once.

Then they saw a guy standing there like a stone sculpture.

Lu Yunkai was dumbfounded.

No, I'm just cracking an age circle magic for fun, please don't tease me, okay? ?Anyway, you are also the Goblet of Fire that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, an ancient magical artifact!Are you pretending to be blind, or are you really blind?Am I worthy of being a Hogwarts warrior? ?I don't even deserve the key! !

"Lu Yunkai, come to the front."

Dumbledore also seemed to have seen Lu Yunkai's frightened look by the choice of the Goblet of Fire, and reminded him.

"But professor..." Lu Yunkai stood up, but still looked like he hadn't recovered.

"I reminded you yesterday that you must be cautious before signing up. Since you threw your name into the Goblet of Fire..."

"But I wrote...Harry's name on it!!" Lu Yunkai said with a wry smile, "How could there be a note with my name on it!"

Quiet.

The eyes of all the students turned to Harry Potter who was sitting there watching the fun.

"...Yunkai, why did you write my name?" Harry was completely confused.

"I'm just for fun!! And I think the warrior who represents the students of Hogwarts...I'm afraid that there is no one in Hogwarts who is more worthy of the title of warrior than Harry, who eliminated the mysterious man, right? " Lu Yunkai said with a depressed face.

What he said was reasonable, and it was also in line with Lu Yunkai's habit of giving Harry a high look. Even Harry himself couldn't say there was anything unreasonable about it.

But that's not the problem.

"Since your name appears in the Goblet of Fire, the contract has been successfully concluded, and you must participate in the Triwizard Tournament. In fact, even if you don't write anything on the note you throw into the Goblet of Fire, the Goblet of Fire knows who it is Report the name."

Sitting on the rostrum without making a sound, the man who Lu Yunkai thought he was dumb finally spoke.

Barty Crouch.

That means it's obvious, you tried to lie to the Goblet of Fire, but failed, since you signed up and were selected, it's you.

It's too late to regret.

The atmosphere in the entire hall instantly became weird.

"Come to the front..." Before Dumbledore could finish his sentence, suddenly, the Goblet of Fire went dark again.

Then, a note flew out of it.

"Haha!! There are still people! I'll just say it! The Goblet of Fire must have thought I was very angry at making fun of it, and wanted to scare me, so I made a note that didn't exist..." Lu Yunkai said hastily.

however.

"...and a champion chosen by the Goblet of Fire...Harry Potter."

Dumbledore unfolded the note in his hand with a solemn expression.
