Chapter 175: Breakthrough of Time

"Before the dinner begins, I want to explain the procedures of the Triwizard Tournament. But first, please allow me to introduce the two guests -"

Professor Dumbledore did not deal with the box first, but introduced Barty Crouch and Ludo Bagman to everyone. They were the Director of the Department of International Cooperation and the Director of the Department of Sports of the Ministry of Magic respectively. .

Adam glanced at Professor Moody, who actually looked normal.

He’s really the stuff of an actor!

"Next, comes the part that everyone is most looking forward to - the selection of warriors."

Professor Dumbledore tapped the top of the box with his wand. After some subtle changes, the box opened, revealing a Goblet of Fire that looked like it was carved from wood.

"I have said before that the referee who will choose the warriors fairly is the Goblet of Fire."

Professor Dumbledore placed the Goblet of Fire on the high stool:

"Every student who wants to run for the Warriors, write your name and school on parchment and throw it into the Goblet of Fire within twenty-four hours."

"Tomorrow night - Halloween night, the Goblet of Fire will choose the names of the three students it thinks best represent the three schools, and I will place the Goblet of Fire in the foyer."

After looking around at the students who were about to move, Professor Dumbledore continued:

"But in order to avoid those students who can't withstand the temptation and whose age doesn't meet the competition requirements and still want to get through, I will draw an age line around the Goblet of Fire."

Adam touched his chin. This is another kind of magic that he has never heard of... You can go and study it.

"Finally, I would like to remind everyone that the Triwizard Tournament is not a child's play. Once you are selected to become a warrior, you have signed a contract with the Goblet of Fire, and you must persist in the competition to the end——"

Professor Dumbledore's eyes turned cold:

"Or die during the game. This has not happened before, and it is not even an exception."

The auditorium fell into dead silence for a while.

"Okay, I've finished what I wanted to say."

As soon as he clapped his hands, Professor Dumbledore smiled again:

"Then, let's enjoy the banquet together~"

I’m so happy to have a big meal today and another Halloween meal tomorrow~

It hasn't been tested in advance, but it turns out that Adam's meals also go down well in Germany and France.

At first, the guests only ate foods they were familiar with, such as sausages and bread, but some of them tried new things under the temptation of the aroma, and then they got out of hand...

Madame Maxime was a little unhappy when she saw the Beauxbatons students devouring their food at the teacher's bench.

She was also pleasantly surprised by these delicacies, but the way they tasted was a bit...

"How rude."

The only person who gave her some comfort was probably her proud student Fu Rong. Although she ate very quickly, at least her movements were graceful.

Madame Maxime was tall but didn't eat much. Finally she took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and started talking to Professor Dumbledore.

Seeing this, Hagrid put down his fork with some reluctance, wiped his hands on himself, and then picked up the wine glass and pretended to be full.

Adam saw this scene and knew that Madame Maxime was trying to get information about the content of the Triwizard Tournament levels.

Although the warriors are selected now, preparations have actually been made for the Triwizard Tournament a long time ago, and the content of the three levels has already been decided.

So what is the Triwizard Tournament...a competition that is extremely dangerous and where everyone is cheating? It really has no practical value.

Adam shook his head, took a sip of Coke, and thought about tomorrow's recipe in his head.

After a dreamless night, Adam and the others originally wanted to have breakfast together in the dormitory the next day, but Cedric came to see them specially.

"I'm going to submit my name!"

Cedric's eyes were sparkling like they were every time he was about to take the field to play Quidditch.

Shortly after Professor Dumbledore told him about the Triwizard Tournament at the beginning of the school year, Cedric decided to participate. Everyone was not surprised, so they all followed to cheer Cedric.

When you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, the blue-white flame will briefly turn red and a few sparks will pop out.

"Is this it?"

Cedric looked at the Goblet of Fire, which had returned to blue and white.

"That's it. I think all Durmstrang students are like this."

Ernie came very early. According to him, he came to observe the enemy's situation.

"Everyone of them put their name in, but I think it will be Krum in the end."

"Who knows what criteria the Goblet of Fire uses for selecting people? Maybe it will be a girl in the end."

Colon shrugged.

"How's it going? Did you see anything?"

Uther saw Adam squatting in front of the age line and stared intently. He also squatted down and took a look, but he couldn't see anything at all.

"Age line..."

Adam's eyes were bright. He saw something familiar, something he had studied for a long time but had no clue...

time!

The magic of age line includes the magic of time!

He had borrowed Hermione's time turner to study it when he passed by before, but that one was still a bit difficult for him, but the one in front of him was just right.

After staring at the age line for a long time, Adam suddenly stretched out his hand.

"Be careful, Summers tried to use an age-increasing agent to hide his age, but he ended up growing a beard!"

Ernie couldn't help but remind him, and Cedric turned to look at Adam.

"It's okay, I'm just trying..."

In front of everyone, Adam stretched out his hand and crossed the age line, and then walked over.

There was silence in the hallway for a moment, and then everyone applauded in surprise:

"Oh my God, Adam, how did you do it?"

"... a little magic."

Adam smiled and walked out of the age line again.

He wanted to find a quiet place to study time magic alone. Originally, time magic had no breakthrough for him, but he didn't expect that the gains from the age line would help him open one. It was really a pleasant surprise.

But after waiting for so long, it doesn't matter if he waits a little longer. Learning time magic is not something that can be completed in a short time. Now let's cheer for Cedric together with everyone.

"You have crossed the age line, don't you try to see if you can register successfully?"

Bernard looked at Adam with some surprise.

"No, although cheating is not a big deal in this kind of competition, let's forget about this kind of thing that can't be concealed. Let Cedric do his best. The glory of Hogwarts depends on you."

Adam looked at Cedric.

"Hey, don't say that. I may not be selected yet."

"You will definitely be selected! Besides the light of Hufflepuff, who else can represent Hogwarts as a warrior?"

Ernie stretched out his hands beside him, looking like "Celebrate!" As a result, Zhang Qiu happened to come over after hearing the news, making Cedric blush with shame, and dragging everyone to run to the hall.

The Halloween dinner was very sumptuous. The dishes prepared by Adam were very different from yesterday, with a lot of pumpkins added, but everyone was obviously a little tasteless.

Especially after the Goblet of Fire was brought into the hall, everyone put down their tableware and looked at the goblet expectantly.
