Chapter 307 The second game

After hearing Harry's disturbing question, Ryan stared at Harry very seriously. When Harry felt a little uneasy to be seen, he opened his mouth and said: If you feel uneasy, I will practice a little with you this week. In fact, it only requires you to master a few basic spells. That's alright, there's no need to be so nervous. By the way, if you believe me, you can give me your usage quota, and I'll take advantage of this time to make something, I think at least it should be more worthwhile than buying the finished product directly.

No problem. Harry nodded vigorously. I'll give you all my credit.

Thank you for believing in me. After finishing speaking, Lei stood up and patted Harry on the shoulder, then said as he walked to the back studio. I assure you that the magic props we use are definitely stronger than the other two.

In the next few days, Ryan made two bottles of underwater breathing potions first. Because according to his inference, the first game was probably too late to change, so they simply and rudely added a few dragons and it was over.

But the preparation time of the organizers of the second game is much longer than that of the first game. At this time, for the sake of the game, they may directly expand the content of the game. That is to say, mixing the original underwater rescue into this new competition as a part of the new competition can at least save a lot of trouble, and at the same time, it will not waste the original arrangement.

In addition to preparing props, Ryan spent part of the time training Harry. The tents that the contestants live in should be specially approved by the Ministry of Magic. In addition to a set of daily three-bedroom rooms, there is also a laboratory and a magic practice room. The two are now temporarily practicing fighting in the magic practice room.

Why are the spells we both use so simple when we practice, I already know all the spells except the Illusionary Charm? Harry asked curiously after a day of practice. For example, Disarming Spell, Iron Armor Spell, Smashing Spell or something.

You also watched it when I was alchemy. In all fairness, do you think you can learn in these five days? Ryan asked after hearing Harry's complaint.

Definitely not. Harry admitted plainly. But what does this have to do with practicing spells you already know all day?

Spells and alchemy are the same, it is not easy to master new things proficiently. In ancient China, a general once said that when he went to the battlefield, he could use 1/3 of what he knew. It's very good. The people who can play half of it are excellent talents. He has fought all his life and has never seen a person who can play 100% of his ability on the battlefield. Our game is also a battlefield, as long as you can put those basic skills It’s enough to be proficient in combat spells to ensure that they can be used at critical moments. Blindly seeking new and powerful spells is likely to lower our level on the field.”

I see. Harry stood up and walked to the corner of the practice room to continue practicing the basic spells. It has to be said that Harry is indeed talented in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Ryan has found that his ability to release spells in this area has made visible improvements every day in the past few days.

The five days went by rather quickly - all the contestants were quickly gathered again, and the six contestants were called to a tent by the Forbidden Forest to listen to Crouch's announcement of the competition.

It's a pleasure to see you again, ladies and gentlemen. Although the mouth was very happy, Crouch's stiff face showed no taste of happiness at all. I believe that in the past five days, everyone is ready to deal with the next game. After speaking, he glanced at the people below.

From everyone's outfits, you can see the game plans of each school. Durmstrang and Beauxbatons have different things on their bodies, indicating that they have chosen to cooperate with each other in the competition but fight independently.

Only the two Hogwarts players were uniformly wearing a leather arm strap, which, in addition to a small leather bag, was also filled with a row of test tubes filled with various potions. In addition to this, both men had a dagger tied to their thighs.

Bagman next to him said with a smile: The game will start in half an hour, so let's talk about the specific content of this game first, that is, rescue the hostages and collect gold medals at the same time - every golden egg in the first game. The one is made into four gold medals, you need to go to the Black Lake to get your own gold medal first, and then combine the gold medal with the crystal in your hand. This way the gold medal will show the same other one after entering the forbidden forest. The other three gold medals made by the golden egg and the location of the exit, one of which is with your hostages. Competitors need to take the hostages to the exit at the same time to end the game.”

After saying this long list in one breath, Bagman wiped the sweat from his head. Crouch gave him a dissatisfied look and said, There are some details that need to be added. First, everyone in the Black Lake. You can only take your own gold medal, and you are not allowed to touch other people's gold medals. Second, the gold medal in your hand will show the positions of all the gold medals after entering the forbidden forest for half an hour, but the gold medal in the lake is not included. Location. At the same time gold medals taken away will also disappear from the display. Third, the Forbidden Forest allows competitors to obtain other people's gold medals, including seeking and grabbing. Finally, two hours after the first competitor enters the Forbidden Forest At the end of the game, all the players who did not take the hostages to the exit will have zero points, do you understand now?

What if I only take the hostages to the exit? asked Diane, another Beauxbatons contestant.

It's a pity that you will only have one hostage's basic score, and each hostage's basic score is only equivalent to a gold medal score. Please remember that this game is counted as long as it is played within the specified time, and it will not be calculated if it is played in advance. Bonus points for you.

Can I attack the hostages? Krum asked in a low voice.

This is absolutely not allowed. Whether attacking the hostage or the hostage attacking others, the score of the player corresponding to the attacker and the attacker will be cleared. There will be surveillance magic on you and the hostage. Don't try to make small moves.

After seeing that no further questions were asked, the two Ministry of Magic officials left, and all the contestants sat there in a serious atmosphere until the bell rang half an hour later.

After the contestants heard the bell, the fish passed through the gate of the tent, and then walked along the path and lawn beside the forbidden forest to the Black Lake. Lane saw that the seats were now lined up on the other side of the lake during the fire dragon competition last November. , was already full and reflected in the lake below.

It was the coldest morning in the harsh winter, and the trees were covered in frost, as if oozing frost. The sky is blue, like a sparkling mirror. The sun shines through the past, bright and cold, shining on the icy lake without any warmth.

The judges sat at another table by the water, covered with a golden tablecloth. The players walked directly in that direction.

Dumbledore smiled and winked at Ryan and Harry, and Crouch sat indifferently behind the long table, not even looking at them.

Madame Maxime smiled softly, as if nothing could spoil her good mood, while Karkaroff only huddled around his precious student Krum to greet him.

Ludo Bagman's voice suddenly resounded by the lake: This game is a large-scale event that is linked by water and land. The warriors are already in their respective positions. As soon as I whistle, the second event starts, and they will save themselves in the game. hostages. I count to three. One...two...three!

High-pitched whistles echoed in the cold, still air. There was a burst of cheers and applause from the stands, and the game officially began.
