Chapter 257

"Why do you think Hagrid wants me to go to him in the middle of the night?" Harry, Hermione, and Ron were walking down the secret passage where Duke Bee was on his way to Hogwarts, when Hagrid told Harry on three broomsticks that he was going to his cabin at twelve o'clock tonight.

"I guess maybe it's the Triwizard Tournament. Hermione said, "Hagrid isn't going to look for you for no reason, and it's still so late, it's clear that there's something that doesn't fit in with too many people." "

"What could that be?" Ron asked, "but what surprised me the most today was Professor Moody, who could see through your invisibility cloak, which I've never heard of could be seen through." "

Both Harry and Hermione knew that there were some things that weren't easy to discuss in Ron's presence.

"By the way, Harry, what did Sirius say?" Hermione digressed.

"He wrote back that he would come to see me before the first project, probably in the next few days...... Hiss - could it be that Sirius has arrived? That's why Hagrid told me to go to him at night?"

"Don't be stupid, Harry. Hermione reminded, "Sirius isn't a wanted man now, haven't you read the Daily Prophet? They all say he's a hero! Is it necessary for a hero to be sneaky like that?"

"Well, maybe only tonight will know what's going on. Harry pushed away the statue of the One-Eyed Witch at the end of the passage.

Solim's return to Hogwarts coincided with the peak of the students' return to Hogwarts from Hogsmeade. After thoroughly cleaning the stains from his body, Solim changed into a clean robe and lay on his bed, quietly recalling what had happened a few hours ago.

The purpose of this operation is very simple, it is to kill Richie and Lymston, but it is also a covert operation, at least on the surface, the deaths of Richie and Lymston cannot be related to Solim - even if people in the know believe that Solim did it, but on the surface, Solim cannot leave any tricks.

The operation will take three lives: Sakitrithridge, Otto Leston, and ...... Aragog.

In the entire eight-eyed spider group, only Aragog can speak human, and being able to speak means that wizards can get some information from it, Solim and Aragog have had direct contact, which will inevitably be known by some wizards who come to investigate, so in order to be safe and cut off the clues, Aragog's death was doomed from the moment Solim decided to find it.

Solim had already tested the power of his venom in his Animagus form, not only to the lethal effects of venom, but also to the lethal effects of venom after it was transferred between different living forms.

The eight-eyed spider's venom will put its prey to sleep, and their saliva will break down the prey from the inside until the prey's internal organs and muscle tissue turn into liquid, and the eight-eyed spiders will pounce on the prey and suck only one skin from the prey. The venom kills the two of them in their bodies, and then enters their bodies through the eight-eyed spider's feeding.

Solim's venom is not the same as the venom of some common snakes, and it will poison the target and die if it enters the circulatory or digestive systems.

Dose aside, lethality is hooliganism. Solim thought so, which is why he injected so much venom into the bodies of Richie and Lemston, that whoever Aragog ate them would die of venom unless it could resist the eight-eyed spider's instincts from the depths of his soul.

Two Durmstrang warriors were found missing before the first event began, and the referees would check the Goblet of Fire before they found out the fait accompli of Richie and Remston dead.

A fait accompli means that it has already happened, and no matter how much trouble you make, you can only accept this fact in the end.

-------------------------------------------

After dinner, Hermione found Solim and told him about Hagrid's request for Harry to come to him in the middle of the night. Solim was running out of time, the first project was about to begin, and Harry would meet his opponent tonight.

"It should be the dragon who has arrived. Solim said that soon the warriors would know that there was no need to keep it secret.

Hermione immediately believed Solim's claim, as she had guessed it herself.

"Are you going then?"

"There's no need. Shrugging, Solim already knew what dragons were going to be.

After the warriors decided, the Ministry of Magic began to discuss the selection of dragons. Flegg had already received a letter from his grandfather, and naturally Solim had long known what dragons would be.

There are nine dragons in total, and anyone who has a little knowledge of dragons can quickly report the names of nine or more dragons.

Australian White Eye, Celestial Fireball, Welsh Green Dragon, Hirsidy Black Dragon, Hungarian Tree Peak, Norwegian Spine, Peruvian Poison Tooth, Romanian Ceratosaurus, Swedish Short-nosed Dragon, Ukrainian Iron Belly...... Solim can name ten.

The value of the materials on these dragons also varies. First and foremost are the Hirsidire Black Dragons, which are the most valuable and certainly the most dangerous. Solim dared to say that, no matter which warrior unfortunately drew the Black Dragon of the Hehitiri Islands, his first project could basically be declared a failure.

Then there are the Australian Albumins and the Romanian Ceratosaurus – the two dragons that Solim would most like to encounter at the tournament. There is no other reason than because the materials on these two dragons are valuable. The eyeballs, tears, blood and eggshells of the Australian protein eye are the most valuable. The horns and nails of the Romanian Ceratosaurus were valuable materials for high-level potions masters to snatch their heads, and although the horns of the Ceratosaurus were allowed to be sold in the market, they were hard to come by without some connections and money.

Solim felt that the first project was a good chance for him to make a fortune - as long as he didn't encounter the black dragon, otherwise he would have to honestly go and get the dragon eggs.

It was nearly midnight, and Harry and the others were still in the Gryffindor common room. He already knew what he was going to see tonight, and Hermione had told him what Solim had said when she returned. Although Harry had known that the first project was a dragon and was ready for it, he still couldn't help but get nervous when it came to the end.

"Seriously, is that Selwyn's information reliable?" Ron was a little incredulous, "That's a dragon! How could they leave the warriors alone against a dragon? This is murder!"

"I'll know if it's true or not. Harry touched the cloak of invisibility lying on his lap, "Just tonight, if Solim's words are true—then I'll be able to meet the nine dragons later." "
