Chapter 195 Krum’s Thoughts

Hermione’s cheering action was a little eye-catching. After noticing that everyone present was focusing on her, her ears turned red and she immediately sat back.

In the distance, Krum, who was being greeted by Karkaroff, had a flash of surprise in his eyes. He felt as if he was in love.

Hermione was wearing a white down jacket today, which was fluffy and soft and looked very warm and comfortable. Her inner wear is a light pink sweater, with white raw edges exposed on the collar and cuffs, adding a bit of playfulness. The lower body is a pair of dark blue jeans with slightly flared legs, which looks fashionable and cute. Wearing a pair of white snow boots on her feet, echoing the down jacket, making the whole look more harmonious and unified.

After learning that she could watch the duel competition live, Hermione was excited for several days. She got up early today and used softener to make her messy brown hair smooth and shiny.

In order to match the clothes she bought while shopping with Ives in New York, she also specially wore a bun, which not only looked neat but also highlighted a cute temperament.

No wonder Krum behaved like this. When Elvis knocked on Hermione’s room in the morning and asked her to come out for breakfast, he was also shocked.

Returning to reality, Ives, who successfully won the victory, walked down the stone platform. He keenly noticed a malicious gaze. When he turned around, he saw Krum staring at him with squinted eyes, wondering what he was thinking. What.

Avis frowned and returned an indifferent look. This was taken as a provocation by Krum. He straightened his chest and wanted to look more fierce.

What does he want to do? Not sure what Krum was thinking, Avis shook his head and sat down next to Hermione.

“Ives, congratulations.”Hermione quickly congratulated,

“Thanks.”

The two started talking and laughing.

Seeing this, Krum clenched his fists harder. He turned his head and said to Karkaroff in English with a strange accent:”Principal, I want to Participate in the Triwizard Tournament.”

Karkaroff was stunned for a moment, and then looked ecstatic. Unlike Ilvermorny, who was still thinking about whether to get involved, the three magic schools that had held the Triwizard Tournament, under Dumbledore’s suggestion , the schedule and time arrangements have already been initially drawn up.

If there are no accidents, they will hold this large-scale event at Hogwarts Castle during the school year from 1994 to 1995.

Some time ago, Karkaroff did not He persuaded Krum to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. This was not only because Krum was his disciple, but also because although he was only in fifth grade, he had already defeated many seventh graders in dueling classes.

Germany Armstrong’s professors and students all recognized his strength, and Karkaroff also hoped that he could win the Triwizard Tournament.

Krum, who was in fifth grade, was so strong that when he reached seventh grade In the same grade, wouldn’t there be no opponents? He had such a dream.

But Krum has always shown little interest. The Quidditch World Cup in August 1994 is more important in his eyes.

In order to be held once every four years and attract everyone’s attention, During the Quidditch World Cup, the Bulgarian national team even applied for a two-year leave for him early. Although it would not affect his studies too much, they still asked Krum to leave the classroom during team training. Participate in training, I just hope that he can integrate into the team’s tactical system faster.

If Krum wants to participate in other events, the early preparations will inevitably squeeze his training time with the team.

Just like Avis, he He spent Saturday afternoons throughout the semester practicing dueling under the guidance of Professor Flitwick, and he skipped Ravenclaw’s Quidditch training many times. For the same reason, Krum did not want to be distracted by other matters. Yes, he came to participate in the duel competition this time. It was because of Karkaroff’s repeated requests that he nodded in agreement.

Karkaroff couldn’t do anything to him for the moment. After all, the Quidditch World Cup was indeed more important, but he didn’t expect that, Krum actually took the initiative to relent today.

Although Krum was eliminated in the first round of the duel competition, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is not much difference in strength between him and Nasai Onai, who eliminated him, but he lost due to the opponent’s unique Regarding transformation magic.

Karkaroff still had strong hopes for him, and he happily confirmed:”Really? Krum, are you sure you want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament? Krum nodded and glanced in Hermione’s direction from the corner of his eye,”Headmaster, is the Triwizard Tournament held at Hogwarts?””

“certainly.

After receiving Karkaroff’s affirmation, Krum said firmly:”I want to participate.” Karkaroff patted his shoulder happily:”Great, I will prepare some training for you. I believe you will definitely win glory for our Durmstrang!””

In the chat, the last group of duels in the first round of the competition is about to begin. The two parties dueling on the field are Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Tower from Castello Bruxo Vares Clay.

Tavares Clay, who comes from the Brazilian rainforest, has curly black hair, and his skin is healthy and tanned by the sun. He looks full of vitality.

“three – two – one——”

After Roche’s voice ended, the two quickly raised their wands to seize the opportunity.

The two magic spells shot at each other quickly, and Fleur and Clay jumped a big step to the side at the same time to avoid the first tentative attack.

Clay put his left hand into his arms, and Fleur looked at him warily, fearing that he would use a lightning spell on her like Lu Chaoyang did, so she quickly threw out a disarming spell with the tip of her staff.

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, what he took out was not a powerful alchemy item – although the duel competition also explicitly stipulated that alchemy items were not allowed – but a handful of seeds.

He waved his wand with his right hand and used the Iron Armor Charm to block Fleur’s disarming spell. He threw his left hand forward and sprinkled the seeds on the ground.

After blocking the attack, Clay immediately removed the Iron Armor Curse, drooped the tip of his staff, pointed at the seeds on the ground and began to recite the curse.

Green fluorescence slowly flowed from the tip of the staff.

In the magic full of life, soon, the seeds expanded rapidly, and the young buds gradually unfolded. Almost in the blink of an eye, the seedlings grew to more than ten centimeters.

What’s strange is that there are no roots extending from the seeds.

Because he maintained communication with Castro Bruxo, Professor Flitwick was no stranger to their magic. He explained:”This is a natural magic that can make ungerminated seeds grow and mature rapidly.”

“What about side effects?”Elvis asked. This kind of magic can’t have side effects.

“The side effect is that the ripened plants can only survive for one or two hours,” Professor Flitwick added.”Although it cannot be used to produce potion materials, Brazilian wizards will use this magic to ripen some magic during battles. Plants come to help them f

ight.”

Unlike Hogwarts, the students at Castello Bruxo receive the best education in herbalism and magical zoology, and most of their magic is close to nature. In a few words, the seedlings on the stone platform It grew mature, and a few red and white cabbages appeared on the ground.

“Biting kale?!”

Lu Chaoyang, who comes from the Celestial Dynasty, is no stranger to this magical plant. There is a large group of these things at the door of the classroom where Kunlun teaches the art of Qihuang (that is, the herbology greenhouse). Biting cabbage will affect all surrounding creatures. They attack crazily, chewing everything up with their big mouths.

But there is no way, not raising them is not enough. Without them to guard the door, all the plants in the greenhouse will be wiped out, and the naughty Chinese students will even try to bite them. The leaves of human cabbage are eaten in hot pot.

Even though the professors have repeatedly emphasized that these plants are not delicious when used in hot pot, they still can’t stop their enthusiasm.

Clay’s wand points to the hibiscus on the opposite side, and the biting cabbage jumps towards it. She attacks, and it’s clear that Celestial Biting Cabbage is firmly in his grasp these days.

“The flames are blazing!”

Furong quickly made countermeasures. To deal with plants, of course, it is most convenient to use flames.

However, the formation of the biting cabbage was very scattered. She used the fire spell three or four times in succession to burn them all to ashes.

At the same time , , the next wave of plants spawned by Clay has also matured. This time, he chose poisonous tentacles.

Poisonous tentacles are a prickly green plant with movable vines that will try to catch nearby living prey. Poisonous tentacles The twigs of the tentacles will secrete venom, and its spikes are also highly poisonous.

Because of its danger, the British Ministry of Magic defines the seeds of the poisonous tentacles as a Class C prohibited trade item, but the MACUSA and the Brazilian Ministry of Magic do not consider it Being classified into the list of prohibited trade items, Clay can therefore use the seeds of the poisonous tentacles in the game. The mature poisonous tentacles are very huge, with a body of nearly two meters lying between the two people.

Clay hides behind the poisonous tentacles, Use it as cover.

Fleur is faced with a difficult choice. If she chooses to attack the poisonous tentacles, then Clay will have a chance to attack her. But if she doesn’t attack, then the poisonous tentacles will attack her.

Fleur thought After thinking about it, she decided to get rid of these poisonous tentacles first. She waved her wand, red light flashed, and a fire spell shot out from the tip of the wand. The fire spell didn’t work, so Clay used an iron armor spell on the poisonous tentacles to kill them. Blocked.

This was obviously what Fleur expected. She kept moving while using the fire spell on the poisonous tentacles.

In order to prevent the poisonous tentacles from being burned by the fire spell, Clay had to use iron armor on it again and again. Curse, which left him no time to use other magic.

Fleur moved quickly, and finally, she could see Clay’s profile in her field of vision.

“Clay!”She yelled, with a glimmer of light in her big blue eyes.

Clay subconsciously looked towards her, and then he was attracted by Fleur’s eyes. He was intoxicated by Fleur’s amazing charm and stepped outside. He took a step forward.

A bolt of lightning pierced the air and hit him accurately.

Lightning spell!

Fleur took the opportunity to attack him. She did not hesitate, waved her wand again, and chanted another spell.

“The flames are blazing!”

A flame spurted out from the tip of the wand, instantly burning the poisonous tentacles beside Clay to ashes.

The effect of the charm had been lifted, but Clay, who was struck by lightning, was still in a daze. Fleur took the opportunity to launch one last attack on him. Attack, a spell flew towards him.

When the spell came, Clay finally came to his senses. He did not expect that Fleur had the ability to charm, nor did he expect that she would get rid of the poisonous tentacles so quickly. He had no time to dodge, so he could only resist. This blow.

This was a disarming spell. His wand was knocked away and flew in the direction where Fleur was standing.

After Fleur caught Clay’s wand, a bright smile appeared on her face, and the wand in her right hand was still pointing at herself. The opponent asked with a smile:”Mr. Clay, aren’t you going to admit defeat yet?

Seeing that he was powerless, Clay shrugged helplessly,”I give up.””

“The winner, Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!”Roche announced quickly.

Everyone stood up and applauded. Today’s game was indeed an eye-opener.

After Fleur and Clay shook hands in a friendly way, Roche walked onto the stage and said loudly:”The four winners have been determined. They are Nasai Onai from Wagadu, Lu Chaoyang from Kunlun, Ivis Evans from Hogwarts, and Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons.”

“The second round of competition will be held tomorrow. Please go back and have a good rest.”

After it was announced that today’s game was over, everyone did not leave immediately, but chose to stay in the duel field to continue communicating.

Exchanges and discussions with magic schools from other countries were the main reason for them to come to compete, except for Carkaro Apart from her husband, almost no school attaches great importance to the honor of the duel competition champion.

Of course, winning the championship is the best.

Lu Chaoyang’s teacher is an old man. He is wearing a long gown and his thin figure looks quite immortal. Meaning.

When Professor Flitwick brought Elvis and Hermione to the crowd, the old man actually took the initiative to ask in standard English:”Is Albus okay?”

“The principal is in good health and can still eat sweets.”Unlike the two young wizards who looked surprised, Professor Flitwick had obviously known for a long time that this old man and Dumbledore were old acquaintances. The old man from Kunlun stroked his long silver-white beard and nodded with satisfaction,”Then OK, that’s good”

“Mr. Lu Yuan, the principal asked me to say hello to you.”Professor Flitwick said respectfully.

Lu Yuan waved his hand,”Thank you for his trouble.”

While the two teachers were communicating, Ives took the opportunity to find Lu Chaoyang on the side. He said hello in proficient Chinese:”Hello, Senior Lu.”

Lu Chaoyang is seventeen years old this year. It is appropriate for him to call him senior.

Lu Chaoyang looked at him with surprised eyes,”Your Chinese?”

“Self-taught.”Aves grinned and lied. Of course he couldn’t say that he was from China in his previous life. If he dared to say that, would Lu Chaoyang dare to believe it?

“Brother, you speak Chinese very well.” Seeing the young man in front of him who had a typical European appearance but spoke proficient Chinese, Lu Chaoyang felt good about him.

Hermione, who was left out by the two, also said hello,”Hey Lei.

Lu Chaoyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Ives,”Who did she learn Chinese from?””

Why does this girl sound like a Hong Kong populist whenever she opens her mouth?

“Anyway, you didn’t learn it from me.”Aves laughed and hurriedly passed the blame.
