Ch 651-655
Hermione stared at Ivan angrily, but was curious as to what the important thing Ivan was talking about.
Perhaps because she felt that her gift was definitely not as valuable as Ivan's, Hermione was still softened after hesitating, but she said emphatically.
"Okay, I can take it out first, but you are not allowed to use dementia!"
"Don't worry, I definitely don't need it!" Yifan promised, patting his chest. He didn't mean to lie, because surprises are just like this. Once they know, they won't be enough surprises.
Hermione drew the wand from the black ribbon tied around her waist and waved it gently in the air. A little bit of fluorescent light gushed from the top of the wand, and finally it gradually transformed into a long strip. Under the guidance, it became more and more solid.
A good magic trick, Ivan admired secretly in his heart. Of course he could see that it was a blinding technique. Hermione should temporarily hide things with a reduction spell, and then use fluorescence to attract his attention to enlarge things.
But seeing it doesn't mean to expose, Ivan still pretended to be interested and watched Hermione conjure a brown scarf out of thin air.
"Is this for me?" Ivan saw that this scarf seemed a little different, not as delicate as the ones sold in the market, and the corners were even a little rough, so he looked at Hermione, guessing. "You made it yourself?"
Hermione nodded shyly and said quietly. "During this summer vacation, Mrs. Weasley taught me. I saw that you don't have a scarf yet, so..."
Hermione didn't go on, looking at Ivan in anticipation.
She hesitated for a long time in choosing a Christmas gift this year. Originally, she wanted to give a book as usual, but she always felt that it would not help Ivan. She wanted her gift to be more meaningful, so she knitted a scarf by hand. .
"This is the best Christmas present I have received. Can you put it on for me?" Ivan looked at her with a smile.
Hermione nodded, took a deep breath, walked forward with blushing cheeks, and slowly put the scarf around his neck.
The two were close enough to hear each other's breathing.
She didn't know if it was the first time to tie a scarf to someone, or it was too nervous, but it took Hermione a long time to get it right.
Ivan was not at all anxious, his eyes were straight at the girl's delicate face close at hand, and she admired her carefully playing with the scarf.
After a while, Hermione finally arranged the scarf, took a step back, and returned to the previous position, with her hands behind her back, and she stood there looking at him beautifully.
Naturally, Ivan knew that she was looking forward to her gift, so she didn't mean to sell it. She took out a pendant from the pocket of the wizard's robe and displayed it in front of the little witch.
This pendant looks very peculiar. It is shaped like a meniscus as a whole, strung by a long silver chain, which shines exceptionally under the reflection of moonlight.
"It's beautiful!" Hermione muttered to herself, staring at it drunkly.
However, she quickly noticed that there were many fine cracks on the surface of the crescent moon pendant, which seemed to be seriously damaged, so she looked at Ivan again suspiciously.
"This is a Christmas gift from my mother Isiah at Christmas in the first grade... a very delicate magic item that can resist a deadly injury for the carrier..." Ivan explained with an expression. Some miss.
Hermione was surprised and a little frightened. Of course, she could understand what the broken crescent moon meant. Doesn't that mean Ivan almost died once?
"Is it time to protect the Sorcerer's Stone?" Hermione thought of this at once and asked anxiously.
Although she did not see the specific battle process at the time, the battle situation was obviously very tragic.
After she rushed to Dumbledore with Dumbledore, it was full of ruined walls, and Ivan was in a coma for two days before waking up.
Ivan nodded with lingering fear, but before he could say anything, Hermione had already jumped over and hugged him abruptly.
The intermittent crying quickly reached his ears, and the robe on his chest seemed to be soaked with water.
"That's all a long time ago. It's long gone, right?" Ivan didn't expect the little witch to have such a big reaction. He awkwardly spoke to comfort him, regretting it in his heart. Something told her...
Hermione didn't reply, she just nestled in Ivan's arms, venting her panic. She wanted to scold Ivan for taking risks, but she couldn't speak anyway.
Because they went on the adventure together, Ivan didn't do anything wrong. If they didn't stop Quirrell, the mysterious man would use the resurrection of the Philosopher's Stone to wreak havoc in the magic world and set off killings.
What really made Hee sensitive and painful was her own powerlessness, and she was always unable to help when it was critical.
Ivan comforted her softly, and after a while she calmed Hermione's emotions down, and then put the crescent moon pendant on her personally, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Very suitable and beautiful!" Ivan said admiringly, looking at the girl in front of him.
The former is talking about the pendant, and the latter is describing Hermione with the pendant.
Although the little witch has cried, her eyes are a little red, but this does not affect her charm at all. On the contrary, it covers the strength of the past and highlights the unique femininity of the girl.
Hermione gently stroked the crescent moon pendant hanging on her neck. The anxiety and fear that had originally appeared in her heart was gradually filled with happiness. She did not dislike it as a damaged magic item. After she understood the reason for it , She is very aware of how precious and special this gift is.
Thinking of this ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Hermione wanted to say thank you, but was interrupted by Ivan.
"Wait... it's not over yet!"
Hermione looked at Ivan in confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.
"I think it's time to fix it!" Ivan said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to hold the crescent moon pendant and slowly hold it in his palm.
Then Ivan closed his eyes and concentrated on using Professor Nicol Lemay's transmission magic to inject the strong emotions in his heart into the pendant at this moment.
Hermione was so nervous that she didn't dare to move or speak, for fear of interrupting Ivan's spell.
Gradually, a dazzling golden light passed from between the fingers that Ivan was holding, with exceptional warmth, and Hermione, who was close at hand, could clearly feel the strong affection contained in that power.
It lasted for half a minute, Ivan opened his eyes again, his face was a little more tired, he spread his hand, the crescent moon pendant in the center of his palm has become perfect, and the fine cracks disappear without a trace, from time to time You can see the golden fluorescence flowing above it.
Ding, after a period of practice, your alchemy level has greatly improved, the current level 6 (15999/16000)]
At the same time as the casting was completed, the system reminder sounded in his mind. Ivan was a little disappointed looking at the progress bar that could almost be upgraded.
He thought he could break through the bottleneck of alchemy by fixing the crescent moon pendant, but now it seems that something is still missing after all.
However, Ivan quickly adjusted his mood and was able to smoothly repair the meniscus pendant during the strongest mood swings in the past few days, which has met his expectations.
Then, Ivan opened the system's inventory and checked it again.
[Magic Item: Crescent Moon Pendant
Magic: strong
Explanation: This is a magical item made with a lot of precious metals, which can resist deadly attacks for the bearer until the power is exhausted.
Note: You successfully repaired this magic item and strengthened it. The secret is to inject love into it...]
The attribute of the meniscus pendant that was repaired by Ivan has been enhanced a lot, and there is no limit on the number of resistances, and the magic rating has also risen from strong to strong.
After all, his current strength and alchemy level have fully surpassed Aesia, and he also uses the high-end guidance skills taught by Nick LeMay, so he can naturally better use the power of emotions.
While paying attention to the system bar, Ivan certainly did not forget Hermione. He put the repaired crescent moon pendant back in and said.
"When I am away, it will replace me to protect you!"
Ivan was very serious. He chose to give Hermione the Crescent Moon Pendant as a Christmas gift. On the one hand, he wanted to take this rare opportunity to repair it, and on the other hand, he was worried about Hermione's play in the second level. Time is in danger.
Although the other magic item protection ring he made can also play a certain protective effect, it needs to be actively activated. Once Hermione is in a coma, this ring is no different from an ornament.
The meniscus pendant is different, it is passively effective, as long as the carrier receives a strong attack, it will automatically launch.
The only thing that made Ivan hesitate was that repairing the crescent moon pendant was the receipt voucher agreed upon by him and Nick LeMay, which was given to Hermione, and he would not be able to come up with the second one at that time.
However, Ivan believes that the real test for this master alchemist should be whether he can apply the power of emotions to the production of magic items, which he has successfully done.
As long as you practice more, it shouldn't be a problem to make some similar magic props to prove your ability, but it may not have such a powerful effect.
"Are you really going to give me such a precious thing? Ivan?" Hermione looked at the repaired crescent pendant, panicked, and she looked at Ivan very disturbed and said. "If it can resist those dangerous spells, you should need it more than I do."
"Did you forget how I repaired it?" Ivan calmed Hermione and explained. "It will only protect you alone! If it is given to other people, it will be just an ordinary pendant..."
Listening to Ivan's words, Hermione calmed down. She didn't know much about alchemy, but she could directly observe the friendship that Ivan showed when he repaired the pendant.
Most of Ivan poured his love for her into the pendant, forming a special protective spell.
Thinking of this, Hermione was very moved, and her heart, which was originally filled with happiness and joy, was overflowing at this moment, and her brown eyes looking at Ivan became more and more hazy.
She wanted to thank Ivan, but felt that that was not enough, and the enthusiasm rising from the bottom of her heart almost swamped Hermione.
She was eager to do something, her eyes happened to see the scarf she gave to Ivan, her face flushed slightly, she stretched out her hand on one end of the scarf and pulled it lightly.
Ivan was unprepared at all, lowered her head, and then saw Hermione's delicate face getting closer. She closed her eyes nervously, her rosy lips slightly opened and printed on his lips.
There was only such a short moment when the lips met, and they separated quickly.
Before Ivan could react, Hermione jumped away, her face burning red.
Ivan didn't expect Hermione to be so proactive at all. He touched his lips, as if he was still reminiscing about the touch just now, then looked at the little witch and asked jokingly.
"Is this also the Christmas present you plan to give me?"
"No, I'll give you a scarf!" Hermione's face was flushed with crimson flushes, and her breathing was a little disturbed.
Seeing the little witch's fascinating gesture, Ivan's enthusiasm weakened by the guiding magic rekindled. He wanted to continue the kiss just now under the banner of giving another Christmas gift.
But how could Hermione let him succeed, she was completely dizzy the previous moment, and now she is too shy, and now she refuses to say anything again.
...
On the second day of Christmas, after a night of hustle and bustle, everyone got up late. The common room in Gryffindor was much quieter than before, as if they had vented all their energy yesterday. .
If it weren't for the fact that there were a few more couples walking together on campus, there were people discussing the Christmas ball held yesterday, which almost made Ivan suspect that what happened last night was an illusion.
Because Hermione was back to her usual appearance again, wearing a standard school uniform, holding a pile of books in her arms ~www.mtlnovel.com~ After seeing them, she walked over quickly and put the books down.
Crookshanks, the big **** cat, followed Hermione all the time, and after the little witch sat down, he jumped into her arms, acting comfortably.
"Hermione, why don't you put on a dress and take care of your hair? It was so beautiful yesterday..." Ivan asked curiously. He also hoped that he would appreciate it more when he didn't have to go to school on vacation these days.
"There is no dance party today. It's too much trouble to do that every day!" Hermione turned her head to look at Ivan, and explained distressedly.
Compared to wearing a beautiful long skirt, she has to walk carefully. She still feels more comfortable like this, and she spent more than an hour just taking care of her hair yesterday in order to participate in the prom.
"And... we still have to study!" Hermione added in a low voice, her face flushed slightly when she remembered what happened yesterday.
Ivan shrugged. He really didn't understand. What is the relationship between dressing and learning?
But thinking of the fascinating gesture of the little witch last night, he has some understanding, maybe he can't help being distracted?
Thinking of this, Ivan looked at Hermione a little more strangely.
Hermione turned her head and didn't dare to continue talking on this topic, but hurriedly asked about business. "Have you found the clue for the second game? Ivan? Harry? We'd better figure it out in two days. If it's as dangerous as the fire dragon, you might need a few more days to prepare..."
Ivan did not answer, but Harry took out his golden egg.
"Mr. Bagman said before that this golden egg can be opened, and the clues are in it. I haven't tried it before..." Harry said distractedly, while digging into the circle of the golden egg with his nails. In the groove, the golden egg was easily opened.
Ivan didn't expect Harry to be so reckless that he couldn't stop it.
The next moment, a terrifying, piercing scream resounded in the common room.
The nearest Harry and Hermione covered their ears in pain, and everyone else in the lounge heard the noise and turned their heads to look over.
"Quietus~ (No sound and no breath Ivan waved his wand for the first time, and the harsh screams quickly subsided.
Harry took the opportunity to grab the golden egg and closed it firmly.
The little wizards in the lounge breathed a sigh of relief. Ron rubbed his ears and muttered. "What the **** is this? Is the banshee's cry? What kind of clue is this? Is it possible that you need to subdue the banshee in the second level?"
Harry nodded. He thought Ron's guess was very likely. They had already dealt with a fire dragon, and he wouldn't be surprised if another banshee came.
But Hermione had a different meaning, and she vetoed it. "This can't be a banshee, their voices are definitely not like that."
"Hermione, why are you so sure? Could it be that you have heard the banshee's call?" Harry asked curiously.
"Have you forgotten? We obviously learned it in the second grade!" Hermione squinted, looking at Harry with a surprised look.
Harry and Ron looked at each other, have they studied? Why don't they remember?
Ivan quickly remembered, and said in agreement. "You're talking about Lockhart's "Break with the Female Ghost", right? I've also seen it. The description above is very detailed... The cries of the dead banshee are sharp and desolate, which usually makes the listener feel very Sadness."
"Yes! This is different from what I just heard. It was obviously not a cry, and we didn't feel sad either." Hermione talked freely, and then continued with some uncertainty. "It's like singing..."
Harry rolled his eyes, feeling that Hermione's guess was really unreliable. How could a creature sing so badly.
Ron also pouted his lips. Isn't Lockhart a liar? Whoever is okay will turn over that guy's book, who knows if Lockhart wrote it out of it...so they continued the discussion with Harry.
After yesterday's events, their relationship returned to a normal state, and no one took the initiative to bring up the previous contradiction.
Believing in her own thoughts, Hermione pulled out a book of "Fantastic Creatures" from the pile of books in front of her, and began to search for clues related to the sound.
Ivan pretended to pick up a book and read it, but the thoughts in his brain drifted to another place.
He had known the specific content of the second game a long time ago, and he also confirmed that the golden egg was placed in the water. It was indeed the same as the original time and space to rescue the hostages at the bottom of the lake.
The reason why I don't say it now is that I hope to use this thing as bait to see if I can catch the hidden little Barty Crouch.
But even if he knew the content of the game in advance, Ivan couldn't be free these days, because he had too much to do!
In addition to practicing psychic mind with Hermione regularly every afternoon, he also had to make time to fix the fish in the Black Lake in order to prepare for the second game.
He can't rest in his spare time at night. He needs to monitor the entire school with a live map to see if Barty Crouch Jr. pops up suddenly.
In addition, there is one of the most important and difficult things, and that is to make the blood fusion potion!
After these days of fermentation, he received the system task [Avid Entrepreneur] last time and was about to complete. He expects that after another wave of prestige in the second task, he will be able to get those two precious legend points, and start The next round of blood fusion.
The corresponding potion naturally had to be made in advance.
The only thing that made Ivan breathe a sigh of relief was that Luna stated in her reply to him yesterday that she had accepted her advice, and recently stayed away from the forbidden forest as much as possible, and the time to find the horned snoring beast has also been pushed to after the second game. , Probably considering that the game is approaching, I don't want to disturb myself at this time.
This allows Ivan to focus all his energy on more urgent matters...
Looking through the information for the whole morning, Harry and Hermione were a little upset. They could not decipher the information contained in the cry. Ivan had expected this, and he casually said a few words of comfort, and then talked to everyone. Let's go to the auditorium to enjoy today's lunch.
In the afternoon, Ivan routinely practiced meditation with Hermione.
Unlike Luna's obedience, although Hermione no longer refuses to be viewed by him, her resistance is always fierce every time she sees a picture of them getting along in her memory.
She constantly uses the novice Occlumency to resist Ivan's invasion, and perhaps creates a plausible false memory in an attempt to confuse Ivan.
The two of them are like playing a game of level-breaking in a maze of thinking. Hermione desperately wants to hide the real thoughts, while Ivan quickly breaks through the layers of defense set by the little witch like a big devil~www.mtlnovel. com~ Every time Hermione failed, her blushing heartbeat ended.
Ivan was also satisfied to see that his nearly stagnant proficiency in pantographs began to grow rapidly.
In the next few days, Ivan remained in a monotonous cycle, practicing magic during the day, brewing potions at night, or using Bogut to transform and transform his form, dive into the bottom of the lake to chat with the mermaids, and listen for information by the way.
After a few days of understanding, Ivan discovered that although the mermaid looks ugly, it is also an intelligent creature with its own language and living habits. He likes to collect some wizard creations to decorate his lair.
However, they lived on the bottom of the lake all year round and didn't have a deep understanding of the cunning of wizards, so Ivan quickly provided a lot of information.
Dumbledore had already talked to them at the beginning of school and obtained their permission to use the bottom of the lake as the venue for the second game.
Before the start of the game, the people the Warriors care about the most will be placed at the bottom of the lake to wait for rescue. Their task of these merfolk is not to make the game more difficult, but to protect the safety of the hostages as much as possible to avoid unnecessary accidents.
In the evening a week later, Ivan turned into a mermaid he had seen before, and talked with the leader of the mermaid.
"You must have mistaken the wizard principal's instructions. Dumbledore asked us to preside over the second game...
It's the host! understand?
Your product... your fine product!
If we didn't do anything during the game, he would be very angry.
So we must do something, not just to protect the hostages, for example, to arrange the venue? Or intimidate the contestants..."
Ivan talked endlessly, spending more than an hour successfully distorting the mermaid's understanding of Dumbledore's orders.
Of course, he doesn't intend to do anything bad. The main thing is to improve the difficulty of the second game and make it more exciting, so that the Warriors can have an epic clearance experience.
After doing all this, Ivan left the Black Lake very satisfied, ready to return to the dormitory to have a good rest.
But when passing by the Gryffindor lounge, Ivan unexpectedly saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione rushing over in a hurry.
"What's wrong with you?" Ivan asked in surprise.
"We found the clue, it's a mermaid!" Harry gasped, his expression was very excited, he said very quickly. "Remember the sound we heard that day? It was the singing of a mermaid!"
"How do you know that it's a mermaid? Has anyone provided any clues to you?" Ivan's expression immediately became a little serious, and he hurriedly asked.
Harry and Ron stopped talking, Hermione pursed her lips and looked a little angry.
Ivan looked at the expressions of the three of them, not knowing why, but fortunately, Harry promptly explained. "It was Hermione who found it. In the past few days, she had at least turned through hundreds of books that had something to do with sound. Finally, she saw a similar record in "Underwater Magical Creatures."
"Yes, she even suspected that it was some kind of special signal at first, such as what special information is hidden in the sound frequency, holding Harry's golden egg and listening to it more than a dozen times..." Ron also Added.
Ivan looked at Hermione, knew that he had made a mistake, and hurried to remedy it. "Sorry, Hermione, I shouldn't have said that..."
"You suspect that the person who put Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire will secretly tell Harry the clues of the second level?" Hermione interrupted Ivan before he could finish speaking, thoughtfully. Said.
"It's impossible! It's not that the mysterious man's subordinates suddenly kindly wanted to help Harry win the championship, right?" Ron said this, he couldn't help laughing.
Harry also looked at Ivan in confusion.
Ivan shrugged, feeling helpless. He couldn't tell what hadn't happened, so he had no choice but to talk nonsense. "The events in the Triwizard Tournament are very dangerous. If someone really wants to harm you, just telling you some wrong information on purpose will be deadly!"
Harry, Ron, and Hermione thought Ivan's casual nonsense made sense.
Imagine if someone tells the participating warriors that the first level they need to face is not a fire dragon but a few red hats, then everyone will be very relaxed and will not deliberately formulate targeted strategies, then wait until the real game. It is not impossible to lose the dragon's mouth.
"Since you already know that it is the singing of a mermaid, have you figured out the specific content of the second game?" Ivan asked.
Harry nodded hesitantly, then shook his head again, indicating that he only had some guesses that were not true or false, and then repeated the song he had heard.
"We cannot sing on the ground. When you search, please think carefully:
We snatched your most beloved baby. You only have one hour to find and retake the objects we took. After an hour, there is no hope. It has completely disappeared and will never appear. "
After Harry finished speaking, Hermione went on to explain. "I think the second game should be for you to sneak into the black lake to find something stolen by the mermaids. You only have one hour. Once you exceed it, the mermaids will take that thing forever. Failed!"
Ivan nodded. Hermione was basically on the point, but didn't guess that the one hiding at the bottom of the lake would be a hostage...
"But how can we stay underwater for a long time?" Harry quickly realized this serious problem after experiencing the joy of solving the puzzle.
When they were at home in the past, the Dursleys probably expected him to fall into the water and be drowned one day, so they never let him learn to swim.
In contrast, Dudley swims very well. He often brags about this, but Harry always thinks that there is nothing remarkable, because Dudley is fat like a large lifebuoy, and it can be quickly dropped into the water. Floating up.
"Otherwise you can try the Transfiguration Curse and turn yourself into a swimming fish or something." Hermione suggested, and then looked at Harry apologetically as if thinking of something.
"Oh, I almost forgot. This kind of transformation magic is not taught until the sixth grade, and it is very difficult to master. Ivan may be able to do it, but you definitely can't..."
"Yeah." Harry said weakly, thinking of ideas constantly in his mind, but unfortunately none of them could do it.
"You can use gills, Harry!" Ivan said suddenly.
"What? Cheek grass? What is that?" Harry turned his head hurriedly~www.mtlnovel.com~ looked at Ivan excitedly.
"A potion material, you can temporarily grow gills and webs after eating it, and you can breathe and move freely under the water," Ivan explained.
"Like those mermaids?" Hermione thought of the description of mermaids in the book "Fantastic Underwater Creatures".
"Almost, it's only partially deformed. It's definitely not as agile as a mermaid under water..." Ivan said, and there is another shortcoming he didn't mention, that is, the appearance will be uglier after deformation.
But Harry obviously didn't care about this. The fact that he could breathe freely underwater by eating a herb was enough to make him ecstatic-it meant he didn't have to be the first warrior ever to be drowned in a lake.
"Now there are still a few days before the start of the second game. You can find time to go to Hogsmeade Village to buy some gills, and when you are fine, go to the Black Lake to practice..."
Ivan reminded him, and then asked Harry to try to pretend that he hadn't found any clues, and try to pay attention to everyone who tried to reveal the news to him.
A few days passed in a flash, and soon came the day when the second game was held, and the castle gradually became lively.
As the warriors, Ivan and Harry got up early on the rest day and went to the auditorium to have breakfast together.
Perhaps it was because of being too nervous, Harry had no appetite at all, but just ate a little to deal with it, holding the bottle containing the saccharomyces tightly in his hand, for fear of forgetting it during the game.
Ivan, who was eating leisurely, naturally discovered Harry's abnormality, and said comfortingly. "Relax, Harry, haven't you practiced many times these days?"
Harry nodded absent-mindedly. Although he has been swimming in the black lake a few times these days, he has overcome the problem of not knowing how to swim, but this is almost the same as in the final exam every year. I can't help but feel soft at times.
"You said, what would they let you spend so long looking for in the bottom of the lake?" Ron on the side was curiously guessing about the events of this competition.
"The lyrics are talking about our favorite things..." Harry hesitated for a moment, thought about it for a while, and then said uncertainly. "I think those merfolk will sneak into the lake when I'm away!"
That is his most valuable thing, but Harry has no bottom on whether the Firebolt can be waterproof or not. He only hopes that it will be useful when it is picked up...
Ron nodded in agreement, thinking it was possible.
"By the way, where's Hermione? Isn't she up yet?" Harry looked around. He didn't see his other good friend. He was suddenly a little strange. Normally, Hermione should have gotten up earlier than all of them. That's right.
"I don't know, I haven't seen her since last night... It seems that Professor McGonagall is looking for her for something." Ron shook his head and said.
Ivan paused while eating the meal. He was not surprised. He had long guessed that Hermione would be placed in the Black Lake as a hostage. He was probably taken away by Professor McGonagall last night and forbidden to contact him.
But to Ivan's surprise, Ron was able to sit in the auditorium for dinner. It seemed that the people Harry needed to rescue during the game had changed compared with the original time and space.
Thinking of this, Ivan glanced around in the auditorium, and as expected, he could not find Ginny, so he was even more sure of his guess.
The previous Christmas ball was to a large extent prepared to select the people the Warriors care about the most. Cedric and Krum in the original time and space are the best proof.
It's just that at that time Harry and Fleur were not very interested in their temporary dance partners, and the organizers had no choice but to make another choice.
After eating breakfast, considering that the time for the official start of the game was getting closer and closer, Ivan did not delay much, so he took Harry and Ron straight to the venue.
All the way to the lakeside of the Forbidden Forest, from a distance, Ivan saw a huge observation platform erected here, erected in a semi-circular shape on the lake shore.
Many students came earlier than them, and the rows of seats were already full of people. Ron encouraged the two of them and ran over after a few words, hoping to find another spectator. Good location.
Ivan and Harry walked towards the entrance of the arena, and Ludo Bagman, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him immediately, with a narrow smile on their faces, showing very enthusiasm. "Ivan, Potter, you are here just right, come here now, the game will start right away, and you will have to go down to the lake together later!"
Ivan made a few polite words with him, and then walked to the center of the arena under Bagman's guidance-it has been transformed into a small pier, with a long wooden board extending from the lake shore to the Black Lake. .
At the end, the figures of Furong and Krum were clearly visible. They obviously came prepared, all wearing swimsuits, and Furong's hot figure attracted the attention of the wizards in the audience.
Seeing this posture, Harry quickly took off his robe and threw it under the tree aside, revealing the waterproof short-sleeved T-shirt and tights.
"Ivan, won't you take it off?" Harry turned his head strangely to look at Ivan, who didn't move at all-he was still wearing that black wizard robe, which would definitely be inconvenient underwater.
"No need..." Ivan shook his head without explaining much.
Harry couldn't figure out Ivan's thoughts, but he also knew that the other party definitely didn't need to worry about it by himself, so he didn't ask more. He stood on the track intently, and took out the bottle with the sacrum.
At this meeting, Yifan cast his gaze on the judges' bench.
At this time, Bagman, the referee and commentator, had already stood in front of the stage. After clearing his throat and reading out the various precautions for the second game, his expression became more serious, and he looked at Ivan on the court. Waiting for someone, then looked at the surrounding audience and shouted loudly.
"Last night, we took away the most cherished treasures of the warriors and placed them in the middle of the Black Lake this morning, and their task is to find and bring them back within the specified time!"
"I need to remind the warriors that your time is very tight, only one hour! Once the time limit is exceeded, the consequences will be very serious, and you will probably lose that treasure forever!"
The sound of Bagmana's blessed curse reverberated continuously by the lake. The little wizards in the audience were very curious about what this treasure actually meant, and they had heated discussions.
As the warriors, Fleur, Krum and Harry are also guessing. Although they have cracked the secret of the Golden Egg, they are still at a loss as to what they are looking for in this mission.
Bagman didn't mean to sell it, he turned to look at Dumbledore, and continued to speak. "As for what the treasure we took... will be revealed for us by Principal Dumbledore!"
Under everyone's attention~www.mtlnovel.com~ Dumbledore stood up with a serious face, and with a strong wave of his magic wand with his left hand, five fist-sized crystal **** rose from the black lake.
Harry, Fleur, and Krum looked at those crystal **** and were a little unclear. Is it possible that their task this time is to find these balls?
Only Ivan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, because these crystal **** were made by him and rented to Bagman. As for the role...
Dumbledore, who was on the judges' bench, waved his magic wand again, and the crystal **** swelled up quickly, each of which was about ten meters in size, just floating in the air quietly.
Everyone can see clearly that some pictures are emerging on the surface of the crystal ball.
Especially the crystal ball in the middle reflects the scene at the bottom of the lake—it looks like a big mermaid village, surrounded by many stone dwellings. From time to time, you can see some ferocious fish with steel forks. People swim across the screen.
And in the center of the picture stands a mermaid statue carved from a huge stone. On the tail of the mermaid statue, four people are firmly bound...
