Jing Shen Tian Si
Dumbledore shook hands with Moody and motioned for him to take the vacant seat at the teacher's table.
"Allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Moody."
The students seemed to be intimidated by his exaggerated figure, and there was very little applause in response. Even in the teacher's seat, only Hagrid welcomed him.
Moody didn't care about this, or he was mentally prepared, took out a wine bottle from his arms and drank it in big gulps.
"Ahem!" Dumbledore coughed, "Come back to business, Hogwarts has been selected to hold a very prestigious event, the Triwizard Tournament."
"You're kidding!" Fred exclaimed.
"Of course not, Mr Weasley." Dumbledore laughed, "Some of you may not know about the Triwizard Tournament, which is a series of magical competitions between three schools.
Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magic items.
It was supposed to be a great way for young wizards from different countries to form friendships, but then the death toll was so high that the Triwizard Tournament was discontinued, more than a century has passed by now.
But this summer, both the Department of International Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Sports felt that the time was ripe and decided to resume the Tournament.
In addition to winning great honor for his school, the final winner will also be rewarded with a thousand gold Galleons. "
As the voice fell, the auditorium instantly boiled.
"I want to participate."
Fred and George roared, their eyes beaming with excitement.
And there are not a few wizards like them. At the long table in every academy, there are people with fanatical eyes, eager to try.
In the Triwizard Tournament, the winner means eternal glory, and the fame in the magic world will be directly increased, which has an unparalleled attraction for everyone.
Aaron looked at these excited wizards who couldn't help themselves, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly in his heart.
A group of idiots, thinking about it with their toes, know that this kind of competition is full of danger. The Ministry of Magic may be well prepared, but who can guarantee that no accident will happen!
Honor is important, but life is more important.
"I know you are all eager to win the Triwizard Tournament for Hogwarts," said Dumbledore, and the Hall fell silent, "but the Tournament is a difficult and dangerous event, no matter how many precautions we take.
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic decided to set an age limit for competitors, 17 years old, and only students over 17 years old are allowed to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament..."
Hearing this, many students who were interested in the Triwizard Tournament protested, and even became angry.
17 years old?Just say that only students who are about to graduate are eligible to participate.
Dumbledore had expected this for a long time, and it would be difficult for him to accept this psychological gap.
Just as he was about to explain, a figure came in through the side door. It was the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation—Barty Crouch.
Barty Crouch glanced at the students who were still in a state of anger, and walked up to Dumbledore with a complicated expression, "The situation has changed."
"What do you mean?"
Barty Crouch hesitated for a moment, then leaned into his ear and started whispering.
Half a minute later, Dumbledore's blue eyes widened slightly, with an unbelievable astonishment on his face.
"Are you serious? Fudge would have made such a decision?"
"To be precise, this is a decision made by the International Federation of Magic, and Fudge only voted for it."
Dumbledore was stunned for a while, then looked at the audience, "It's good news, I don't think it's good news, but you must think it is good news.
Just now, the Ministry of Magic lowered the age requirement for participation in the Triwizard Tournament.
The age of 17 was changed to 14, which meant that all wizards above the fourth grade were eligible to apply. "
Many students who were still protesting couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, but immediately became ecstatic, and couldn't help shouting long live the Ministry of Magic.
"Quiet." Several black lines could not help but appear on Dumbledore's face, "Although the age standard has dropped, I must remind some people who want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.
It's dangerous, very dangerous, not for the faint of heart. "
"Albus." Crouch winked at Dumbledore.
"Then... Next, I would like to ask Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, to explain further."
Crouch walked to the front of the stage, took a deep breath towards the crowd and said, "The Triwizard Tournament will be held again after more than a century, and the Ministry of Magic attaches great importance to it.
This time we invited the most professional referees and lowered the entry limit, but the most important thing is that more than one warrior from the three schools can participate. "
"Really, Mr. Crouch?" George couldn't hide his excitement, which meant that both their twin brothers could participate.
"Of course it's true," Crouch explained. "The Triwizard Tournament is a competition between three schools, not three people."
"It's dangerous, doesn't Fugui know?" Dumbledore said angrily.
He can accept it if he just lowers the registration standard, because only the best warrior can represent the school in the competition, but if the number of participants is expanded, the possibility of accidents will not be so great.
"Principal Dumbledore, I understand your concerns." Klaus said patiently, "I also thought it was dangerous at first, but this time is different, we have a way to ensure that the contestants will not encounter life-threatening.
And it's not just that you can sign up to participate, only the excellent wizards selected by the referees are eligible. In other words, we only give the fourth and fifth people a chance. "
"Are you sure?"
"I'm pretty sure, it's just not convenient to explain right now."
After getting an affirmative answer, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief.
He still wanted to ask something, but thought that Barty Crouch was just a messenger, so he gave up this plan.
"The Beauxbatons and Durmstrang delegations will arrive in October and spend most of the academic year with us.
The specific details of the Triwizard Tournament will be announced to you when they arrive.
Well, it's getting late now, so that you can walk into class with a clear mind tomorrow, let's go to bed. "
The auditorium erupted, and every student stood up with an excited expression, and flocked to the gate of the auditorium.
"14 years old, we can all participate." Ron said excitedly.
"I suddenly feel that Mr. Barty Crouch is a very good person." Harry said with a smile, "No wonder Percy respects him so much. It's not without reason."
"Didn't you listen to what the principal said?" Hermione said speechlessly, "It's very dangerous. Many people have died in this competition before."
"That happened many years ago, and the Ministry of Magic has ensured that there will be no danger to life." Fred walked over and said, "In addition to the honor, there is also a bonus of [-] Galleons. If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life." .”
"That's right." George nodded in agreement, "It took more than a century to decide to re-hold the Triwizard Tournament, and it was held every five years, and we can only study at Hogwarts for seven years.
Hermione, come to think of it, what does this mean?
It means that everyone has only one chance, and Merlin will not give this kind of chance a second time. "
Hearing this, Hermione hesitated for a moment.
Fun adventures are what Gryffindors want most, and this opportunity is indeed quite rare.
Apart from her, many fourth-year wizards have the same idea. In short, there is no danger to their lives. Even if it is a make-up, it is worth it, and it can increase their knowledge.
As for wizards of higher grades, they don't care much. There is only one winner of the Triwizard Tournament, and wizards of lower grades in terms of knowledge theory do not have any advantage at all.
Moreover, the more people there are, the more gold the trophy will have.
......
Slytherin common room.
Aaron lay quietly on the bed in the dormitory alone.
Everyone else was discussing whether to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, but he didn't think about it at all.
honor?Can that thing be eaten as a meal?
Even if there is no danger, it will waste a lot of time.
Wouldn't it be nice if he had time to participate in the competition, learn more magic, and improve his own strength?
"System, open the personal panel."
[Host: Aaron Gaius]
[Magic energy: body 5582, elementary magister; thought body 5582, elementary magister; total 11164 (elementary great magister, a rare existence in the magic world)]
[Talent: Rare in a lifetime (magic energy increases by 4 points every day, body increases by 2 points, mind body increases by 2 points)]
[Items: Moon Drop (2/3 can remove any negative spells), Resurrection Potion (can revive any creature that died within an hour)]
[Magic Point: 490]
"Sign in."
"The host successfully signed in at Hogwarts and obtained ten magic points."
Hearing the sound of the system, Aaron looked at the column of magic points, 490 became [-], and his obsessive-compulsive disorder was instantly satisfied.
"Just right"
Aaron murmured in satisfaction, then opened the system mall, and set his sights on the magic category.
[Magic: @御空 (100 magic points, flight speed depends on personal strength); @恶解 (500 magic points, literally, but not valid for those with strong will); @鲁治出身 (300 magic points) ;@复装(100 magic points, directly replace with equipment pre-stored in other spaces); @无结式弹奸 (200 magic points)]
He resolutely placed an order on Charm, for fear that he would regret it later, after all, other magics also have a lot of temptation for him.
He is very greedy for Yukong and soul out of body, but he can barely restrain himself.
Because there are already tiger charms in the item category, he will definitely spawn other spells in the future. These two spells are just simplified versions of the chicken charm and the sheep charm, and the cost performance is relatively low.
But the Untraceable Stretching Curse and changing clothes are different. The tent during the Quidditch World Cup gave him a pretty good experience. It is still unknown what world he will go to next, but he doesn’t have to worry about the quality of life after learning this magic. .
Dress-up magic is also very useful. He asked Alger to build a few firearms, and the ability to switch equipment at any time is also a way to improve his combat power.
"Allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Moody."
The students seemed to be intimidated by his exaggerated figure, and there was very little applause in response. Even in the teacher's seat, only Hagrid welcomed him.
