Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

"The third test will be conducted by all warriors in the Forbidden Forest. The competition will last from early tomorrow morning to noon the next day. Three warriors from each school form a team. Fighting and attacks are allowed between the teams, but all harmful High-level black magic, such as Lihuo, is prohibited!"

Fudge explained the third rule of the competition to everyone. When it came to banning Li Huo, everyone couldn't help but look at Cyrus. She blinked innocently. This rule is so targeted...

"Three teams will enter the Forbidden Forest and pursue the beings in the Forbidden Forest, gain their recognition or defeat them. The Forbidden Forest is divided into four parts from the inside out, and the location deepest into the Forbidden Forest becomes more dangerous. Danger and points are positively correlated. The deeper you go into the Forbidden Forest, the more powerful the test you will face. Please choose carefully, warriors. You can end the test at any time by walking out of the Forbidden Forest, and the latest time limit is 12 noon the next day.

You can put your victory or their recognition certificate into a bag or jewelry with a seamless stretch, and the team with the most points after the test wins. You may bring wands, weak weapons, or alchemical artifacts during the match. These may be carried with you after we have inspected them. "

"Professors of various subjects at Hogwarts will constantly patrol the Forbidden Forest to ensure the safety of all warriors. Your fighting process will also be observed by the invisible Golden Snitch throughout the entire process, and the content of the screen will be projected into the Hogwarts auditorium. In case of encounter If there is a life-threatening situation, please immediately send red fireworks into the air. Now please take out all the things you are carrying for us to inspect."

A long table appeared in front of Cyrus and the others, and everyone placed their belongings on it. Fleur and the others took out 3 pendants, 3 bottles of water, sleeping bags, and even a mirror and comb from the bracelets.

Krum and the others took out three knives, three rings, a compass, and sleeping bags from the pouches on their waists. Fudge and the others checked all the items one by one. Of course, the bags and bracelets in which they stored items were also checked.

When they came from the long table of Hogwarts Warriors, everyone's lips twitched as they looked at the small mountain of items and weapons on the table. Snape looked gloomy and held his forehead with one hand, Harry and Cedric smiled awkwardly, and Cyrus looked at everyone with complicated expressions in confusion.

"Miss Slytherin...are these all the items you want to bring into the Forbidden Forest?" Fudge looked at the things on the table, and he didn't even recognize some of them. Cyrus picked them up one by one and showed them to everyone.

"Needless to say, these three rings and daggers are alchemy items made by me. I believe everyone knows them, such as daily necessities and compasses. This is Harry's broom. It feels good to fly it when you have nothing to do. .There are also some books to pass the time...ah, and this."

Cyrus pulled out a dilapidated black long-barreled shotgun and a pistol from the miscellaneous items. "I modified the shotgun for hunting with bullets made of fairy stone. I haven't used it for a long time. Since I don't need to fire those, I It's okay to fight the Muggle way."

Fudge wiped his cold sweat and said, "Items such as broomsticks are not allowed to be brought in. As for other things... Since it is a competition in the wizarding world, Miss Cyrus had better use wizarding methods."

He looked at Salazar and the others. Salazar crossed his arms and nodded silently, Grindelwald looked indifferent, and Dumbledore looked at the weapon in Cyrus' hand with a smile. Madame Maxime also felt that weapons from the Muggle world were too unfamiliar.

Seeing several fathers doing the same, Cyrus curled his lips and asked, "Can I bring everything else?" Fudge looked at the pile of tents and pots and pans. Others were participating in the competition. Surviving in the dangerous Forbidden Forest, how come Hogwarts is like going on a spring outing and camping.

"Um... After we check, if there is no danger, Miss Slytherin can take it with her." Fortunately, the game will not start tomorrow, so Fudge and the others spent an hour just checking Cyrus' belongings.

All items belonging to the warriors will be temporarily kept by the judges and will be returned to them before the competition begins. After everyone dispersed, all the teams began to discuss tactics, and Cyrus and the others were not surprised.

"This ring has a storage function, and it will also emit a very powerful protection spell. Remember to input magic power to turn it on when your life is in danger. The dagger is for defense when encountering wild beasts, and the wand is used as a defense method. The preparation time is too short for me to teach you. Use a dagger."

Harry and Cedric received the ring and dagger. After these few days of training, Cyrus became more like a highly respected teacher to them. Seeing that Cyrus was about to leave after handing the items to the two of them, Harry asked doubtfully: "Cyrus, don't we need to discuss tactics? Which area should we go to look for magical creatures or something?"

Cyrus looked at Cedric, "What did you find out about the rules that Minister Fudge said?"

Cedric pondered: "Generally speaking, the first impression of existence in the Forbidden Forest is that of magical creatures... But why doesn't Minister Fudge just say that they are beasts? Can we get recognition from beasts?"

Cyrus gave a wicked smile and whispered something to the two of them. Harry's face turned blue and purple, but he was also a little excited. Cedric looked at a loss, and finally reluctantly agreed to Cyrus's tactics.

Early the next morning, all the warriors stood at the entrance to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Professors from the four branches, Hagrid, Dumbledore and other judges were all there. Cyrus glanced at the professors one by one and showed a smile of unknown meaning.

Professor Sprout grabbed Professor McGonagall's arm and looked nervous. Professor Flitwick couldn't help but shudder. Snape's mouth curled up slightly, and Hagrid scratched his messy hair and laughed innocently.

"Then all warriors, I wish you good luck!" As the whistle sounded, all warriors rushed into the forbidden forest.

All the students gathered in the Hogwarts Auditorium. They watched the game screen projected above the auditorium. Lee Jordan even took out a microphone to provide live commentary.

"The Beauxbatons warriors seemed to be very cautious and quickly separated from other teams after entering the Forbidden Forest. They were still wandering around the outermost edge of the Forbidden Forest. Are they testing the strength of the magical creatures on the outer edge? Durmstrang's three men They went straight into the Forbidden Forest, skipping some less dangerous magical creatures on the periphery, and were about to enter the deeper second area.

It really makes people look forward to what they will encounter there. Now let’s look at our Hogwarts warriors, huh? Why are they still lingering at the entrance to the Forbidden Forest? Are they waiting for something? "

After entering the Forbidden Forest, the three of them hid themselves not far from the entrance. The three of them stood on the towering tree crown. Harry observed the sky, Cedric paid attention to his surroundings, and Cyrus stared in the direction of the entrance to the Forbidden Forest.

"Pursue the existences in the Forbidden Forest, gain their recognition or defeat them. Of course, you have to wait until the professors enter the Forbidden Forest and become the existences in the Forbidden Forest..."

Soon there was a noise in the sky above the Forbidden Forest. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick flew quickly on their brooms, but the three of them did not act rashly. Following Cyrus' instructions, Harry took out a compass and recorded the directions of each professor, while Cedric kept cautiously observing his surroundings to avoid being attacked by nearby beasts or other teams.

The rules do not strictly prohibit competition between teams, so there will inevitably be a situation where a team ambush and attack.

"Professors Sprout and Snape must have used other methods to enter the Forbidden Forest. Do we still have to wait?" Cedric asked Cyrus. They had been waiting near the entrance for a while. There is a lot of distance between us and other teams.

"Have you forgotten our silly gamekeeper?"

Sure enough, a few people saw Hagrid's towering figure not far away. He was indeed a giant. Hagrid, who had stayed in the Forbidden Forest all year round, was already familiar with the road and completely lost his vigilance. He walked swaggeringly through the woods like this, greeting the birds hanging on the trees from time to time.

"Normal attacks won't work. We just need to try to restrain him and make him incapacitated. Cedric, I leave it to you."

Cyrus exchanged glances with the two, then drew his dagger and jumped down as Hagrid approached the tree where they were. Hagrid was startled by the sudden appearance of Cyrus in front of him. The girl opposite didn't give him any chance to react and rushed towards Hagrid with a dagger. She didn't really attack Hagrid, but kept interfering around him. The giant giant's body moved slowly, and she couldn't help but retreat step by step in the face of Cyrus's agile skills.

Hagrid took out his wand from his pocket and said, "Cyrus, I'm sorry!" Several magic spells rushed towards Cyrus, who suddenly backed away as he was rushing towards him.

A curse hit Hagrid's back, "Expelliarmus!"

Harry had been hiding around waiting for Cyrus to create an opportunity for him. The moment the wand in Hagrid's hand fell to the ground, Cyrus rushed forward and kicked the giant in the chest. Hagrid's huge body fell backwards, and suddenly spreading vines appeared around him, wrapping around his body and turning into thick ropes to bind him tightly.

Cedric jumped down from the canopy with his wand in hand, and Cyrus crouched next to Hagrid, who was still twisting. The sharp dagger teased his messy beard, "It's certainly easy to break away from these with the giant's strength, but Hagrid, you don't want another scar on your face, right?"

Hagrid, who was lying on the ground, broke into a cold sweat as he looked at the dagger only an inch away from his neck, recalling the fear of being dominated by Cyrus. His struggling movements weakened, but he turned over to face the ground, avoiding Cyrus.

Cyrus put away the dagger and stood up and walked away, his voice gradually getting quieter, "I heard...Ms. Maxim is particularly fond of opals. She just got one a while ago, and I originally wanted to give it to you, Hagrid... ..”

"Okay! Okay! You win... take my wine bottle as proof." Hagrid instantly turned over and sat up, and he tore off many of the vines tied to his body.

Cyrus placed Hagrid's flagon into the ring and Cedric released the Transfiguration. Hagrid sat on the ground and rubbed his wrists, casting a somewhat embarrassed, don't tell others look at Cyrus. Then he pretended to be calm and said, "Haha, you guys are really good! I didn't expect to discover the secrets in the rules so quickly. Harry, you just learned a good spell!"

Harry rubbed his head sheepishly, and Cyrus and Cedric also exchanged affirmative looks. Then he walked up to Hagrid and smiled gently, "So Hagrid, where is Professor Sprout? You should have walked into the Forbidden Forest together..."

Hagrid's smile froze, "Ah, I, I don't know either, hahaha."

A giant scream came from the huge forbidden forest.

"Oh my God, Cyrus and the others actually cracked the hidden rules! The three of them worked together to subdue our gamekeepers. Their tactical coordination was really tacit. It turns out that the professors and others deep in the forbidden forest were also classified as part of the test, and they were The battle is so exciting! The points gained will definitely be much higher than those of hunting beasts. How long will it take for the other two teams to realize this secret?

But why did Hagrid suddenly surrender just now? What exactly did Cyrus say?

Durmstrang's students are stopped by a two-headed red-eyed snake in the second area, and their fight is inevitable. The Beauxbatons warriors have figured out the first area, seem to have hunted many magical creatures, and are heading deeper into the second area. Whether the two teams will meet is really exciting! "

"Hagrid! Hagrid! Where are you? I just heard your cry nearby. Did something happen?!" Professor Sprout appeared from the bushes with an anxious face and saw that he was tied to the trunk of a tree. Hagrid was about to step forward to loosen his bonds.

Hagrid, who had been cast a sealing spell, shook his head desperately. A faint voice came from behind Professor Sprout, "Waiting and waiting for a kind and lovely professor."

The demonic words made Sprout tremble all over and turned around stiffly. Harry took out his wand and pointed it at her. Cedric also took out his wand with an apologetic look on his face. Cyrus was looking at her with a smile behind his hands. "So, how do we get your approval?"

Professor Sprout was not good at fighting, and Cyrus would not embarrass her in front of all the teachers and students in the school, so instead of attacking Hagrid directly, she politely appeared in front of her and asked.

Professor Sprout was a little angry at first. How could he bring himself here by hurting Hagrid? Cyrus cleared his throat after understanding and said in Hagrid's voice, "Transfiguration is just a necessary skill, Professor. How could we possibly Hurt Hagrid.”

Hagrid, who had been lifted from the spell, also stood up, "Haha, Professor Sprout, I'm fine."

Sprout then felt relieved and took out a pot of mandrake sunk into the soil, a pot of devil's net, and a pot of Chinese biting blue from his backpack.

"As long as you come to me safely under their attack, it will be considered a success." Then she walked to a position more than fifty meters away from the three of them. The devil's net grew rapidly and gradually lengthened under the command of her wand. A circle of protection is formed around it. The Chinese Biting Blue is center stage with the mandrake beside her.

Cyrus came up behind Harry and Cedric and pushed them, "You two come this time, I will support you from behind."

The two nodded, and the tip of Cedric's wand contained flames. A ball of fire broke through the devil's net. He picked up Harry and rushed forward. The devil's net gathered quickly and climbed towards them again. The Chinese biting blue in front of them also rushed towards their faces. Cedric kept releasing fire spells to repel the devil's net, and Harry used armor protection for the two of them to block the biting blue's bite.

After successfully blocking the plant's attack, Cedric knocked away the biting blue that rushed at him again. The sound of the devil's net climbing on the ground was heard from behind, and he immediately rolled forward to avoid the devil's net. In the past few days, he was constantly interrupted by flying knives thrown at him while eating. It was not until he successfully used his armor to block the flying knives in advance that Cyrus' attacks on him stopped.

The level of caution was much higher than before, and Harry quickly avoided the devil's net. The two of them looked at each other and approached Sprout from the left and right directions in tacit understanding.

Professor Sprout nodded with satisfaction when he saw the performance of the two men, and pulled out the mandrake from the flower pot beside him. The mandrake immediately let out a shrill and torturous cry when it came into contact with the air. Neither Harry nor Cedric was wearing earmuffs. Based on their current distance, they would be knocked unconscious by the magic sound of the mandrake before they even reached Sprouni.

The two of them did not stop, and still quickly approached Sprout from both sides. At this time, Cyrus' figure appeared directly in front of her. A flash of silver lit up in her hand, and then she threw a knife.

Mandrake's cry stopped suddenly, and Sprout felt the weight of the hand holding Mandrake lighten, and looked sideways to see that it was empty. The shining silver knife stabbed into Mandrake's mouth accurately, fixing it directly on the tree trunk behind it, motionless.

When Sprout came to her senses, Harry and Cedric were already standing in front of her. "You have won my approval for your excellent tacit understanding and trust among your peers." She took out a small shovel still stained with mud from her pocket and handed it to them, but her hands holding the shovel were covered in cold sweat.

After the three said goodbye to Hagrid and Professor Sprout, Cyrus quickly took the two of them deep into the second area. All the beasts they encountered were knocked down gently by Cyrus, "If Hagrid and Professor Sprout are outside the Forbidden Forest, maybe Professor Flitwick or Professor McGonagall are in the second area of ​​the Forbidden Forest. Harry, they just Which direction did they all fly to?"

Harry took the compass and adjusted the direction. "Professor McGonagall is flying due south, and Professor Flitwick is flying southeast."

Cyrus thought for a moment, "Harry, do you have a good relationship with Firenze the Centaur and the others?"

Harry blinked, "It's okay, Firenze saved us before."
