Chapter 238 Warriors and their investors
What’s the hottest thing in the wizarding world these days?
Did Fennir and his men turn into zombies in Knockturn Alley?
Is the largest trading market for magical animal parts in Knockturn Alley being looted?
Are they the Prewett brothers who have returned to the world?
Is it the love-hate relationship between Snape, Lily and Harry?
Is Albus Dumbledore becoming Minister for Magic?
Is it a phenomenon of empathy that occurs among wizards?
Is it the coming of gods?
Was it Dumbledore who publicly announced his support for Beauxbatons' warrior, and that warrior's heroic spirit was his sister?
None of the above.
The hottest thing now is the game that can make all wishes come true and the Warriors themselves.
The first trial will start on January 30 next year, in the boundless sea of stars, and will be live broadcast again like the previous synaesthesia.
In order to face this trial, warriors, heroic spirits, and their investors have made various preparations.
Warriors who are still students no longer need to attend classes and do homework with everyone.
What they need is to communicate with the heroic spirits who don't know what role they will play, and to strengthen themselves under the strict training of investors.
Investors, literally.
Among the four warriors, the one with the most investors is undoubtedly Fleur Delacour.
With the greatest white wizard behind her, she is undoubtedly the favorite to win.
Not to mention that Dumbledore did not respect martial ethics and used all the resources of the Ministry of Magic.
Countless secret knowledge, exquisite alchemy tools, and precious potions that can permanently strengthen oneself, under the coordination of Dumbledore, are used as the materials to cultivate Fleur in the most suitable way.
It is said that she has been staying in the Department of Mysteries.
Love, time, death, space (celestial phenomena), the power of thought, she will cover them all.
Bajir knew this was not a rumor.
Through Menghai, he could see through everything on the material level of the earth, and he saw scenes that were unimaginable to him.
Dumbledore waved his wand, and the magical knowledge suitable for Fleur in the sea of books that a wizard could never exhaust was turned into golden characters one by one, poured into the huge dark green liquid in the [Brain Hall]. In the snow-white brain wandering in the glass water tank.
The brains seemed to be swallowing ribbons with moving images flying out, and the [thought tentacles] unfolded in circles like rolls of film. They would wrap around Fleur's body every day, leaving a deep imprint.
"I will devote all my love to you." Dumbledore said this, the tip of his staff gently brushing against the imprint of his thoughts.
The thing called love makes the traces of thought heal.
The knowledge that was poured into the brain was forced directly into Fleur's body in this form.
At the same time, the precious Sands of Time were scattered around, just to give Fleur more time than the other warriors.
Moreover, those powerful wizards selected by Dumbledore from many investors, under the guidance of the [Space Agency], used countless precious materials to conduct a three-month-long astronomical ceremony based on Fleur's birth date.
This would give her a gift that she could cast instinctively without the need for a wand spell.
Naturally, Harry ranks second in terms of quality and number of investors.
The title of savior is still relevant today.
What's more, Lily was exceptionally popular among wizards of her age, and Snape was the potions master and the dean of Slytherin House.
When Dumbledore quickly obtained the position of Minister of Magic, many wealthy and powerful pure-blood families were reduced to nothing but money.
Some pure-blood families, such as the Malfoys, who were unable to side with Dumbledore because of their stance, began to invest in Harry Potter.
Snape held a position similar to Dumbledore, coordinating these resources.
The head of Slytherin's office, which he enlarged with magical and alchemical tools, became a prison-like place for Harry's progress.
At the same time, Snape also rejected Ron's so-called help from Krum's camp.
He saw the danger at a glance.
With Ron around, Harry would just act lazy.
Harry was happy to eat, drink, live and wash in the office, study all day long with his head hurting, train for various duels, and drink potions with all kinds of strange and unpleasant tastes that were beyond imagination.
There is also his mother's company here, which makes him full of motivation after regaining maternal love.
If it weren't for Snape's ugly face in the room, and the relationship between Snape and his mother became closer in this closed situation, he would probably be able to fall asleep with a smile every day, instead of having nightmares like he does now. .
Most nightmares begin or end with Snape and his mother together.
During these trainings, under the irrigation of various precious potions, Harry's body gradually became resistant to magic. His muscles bulged and his nerve reflexes became more sensitive.
And also formed its own combat system.
It has to be said that this training method has also benefited Bagir a lot.
During the duel, Snape learned how much Harry preferred to use his intuition rather than his brain in battle.
Therefore, Snape compiled several spell combinations based on Harry's personality for various terrains, magical creatures, and wizards.
And let Harry debug it in actual combat.
At the same time, the combination of magic potions also opened Bajir's eyes.
The intelligence-enhancing agent strengthens the brain, the tranquilizing agent stabilizes the mind, the body-building agent strengthens the muscles and bones, and the body-lightening agent enhances reaction speed.
The most amazing thing is that the conflict between these potions, which are too powerful and precious to be taken at the same time and need to be used at long intervals, is easily resolved by Snape's pots of new weird potions.
You must know that the body of the person taking the medicine, as well as the properties of the medicine itself, are constantly changing. This is equivalent to constantly adding new venom to a pot of mixed poison, and at the same time brewing the corresponding antidote.
The operation that Snape could not accomplish due to lack of funds and materials was accomplished by Harry with the help of a wealthy businessman and Lily, who was also a potion master.
Compared to Harry, Krum has relatively fewer investors.
Most of the forces on Durmstrang chose Dumbledore, followed by Harry.
On the Heroic Spirit side, almost everyone in the Prewett family is having fun.
Therefore, the only investor who can be considered powerful is the Weasley family, which has a large number of people and relatives.
However, although due to Dumbledore's rise to power and his own excellence, both Arthur Weasley and Percy Weasley were promoted and considered to be in high positions; there are also many red-haired wizards in the Weasley family who are not named Weasley. relative.
However, all the resources of the Ministry of Magic have been invested in Fleur; the relatives of the Weasley family have also made the same choice as the forces on Durmstrang's side.
In the end, Krum almost only received help from the heroic spirits and the Weasley family.
The Prewett brothers taught him practical skills.
Bill, who rushed back from Egypt, provided teachings on how to solve curses and tomb robbing archaeological knowledge.
Charlie, who came back from Romania, taught the dragon tamer the magic.
Arthur and Fred George, who inherited the alchemy skills of the Weasley family, made alchemical tools.
Percy was in charge.
Ginny was responsible for keeping an eye on Ron and not holding him back.
And the last Cedric is undoubtedly the most miserable of all warriors.
Although the Diggory family has also produced ministers, after learning the true identity of his son Yingling, Amos Diggory could only ignore the sheep-herding education of his son.
He only collected some unique protection spells and magic for survival in the wild, and taught them to his son.
The professors at Hogwarts treated Cedric the same way, even Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff.
All they asked for was that Cedric could survive the possible dangers of the trial itself.
Only provide guidance on these aspects.
It can be said that if Cedric wants to win, there is only one channel left - self-study.
But this was the only channel, and Cedric himself gave up.
In addition to practicing the spells given at home, I spent the whole day with my girlfriend, eating, drinking and having fun.
Stay far away from his heroic spirit, the young Voldemort.
In the eyes of people who don't know the truth, Cedric can only give up because he has no investors.
But that wasn't the case, and even Cedric didn't know it.
In Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.
Little Barty, who had returned to his original appearance, used his wand to outline complex runes on the basilisk's bones under the guidance of the phantom of young Voldemort.
The essence of the thousand-year-old basilisk was gathered and smelted
Grooves dug along the surrounding ground formed a huge serpentine array.
The heart of a vampire, the feathers of a phoenix, the spinal cord of a mountain tyrannosaurus, the horn of a unicorn, and the nerves of an invisible beast are placed at the nodes of the magic circle.
The red snake blood extracted from thousands of snakes is poured into it, carrying the essence of the basilisk while swimming along the grooves, connecting all the materials in series.
Looking down from a high altitude, you can see a huge red snake meandering around.
Cedric Diggory lay at the heart of the serpent, the seven inches as the saying goes.
The two arms were spread out, blood was oozing from the left hand, and snake blood was pouring into the right hand.
This is a blood exchange.
Voldemort is best at magical transformation - the magic of transforming the physical body.
The method he had practiced using Horcruxes to anchor his immortality and using himself as a guinea pig was now being used on Hufflepuff's little wizard.
Bagir really admired Voldemort's boldness and decisiveness.
Directly abandon the plan to use Harry to perfectly resurrect, risking serious damage to his vitality later, and sacrifice Peter Pettigrew to obtain a body that will collapse in less than a year and can only exert less than half of its strength.
He personally collected materials, met with his younger self, and moved to Slytherin's secret room, which had been discovered.
After modifying the real Moody's memory and releasing him, Barty Jr. was freed as a labor force.
Teach top-secret knowledge to your younger self, and then let him guide little Barty in the ritual.
He went to great lengths to move the sleeping Cedric to a secret room. After changing his blood, he used magic to suppress the power of the blood and sent him back to the dormitory.
Cedric himself was unaware of everything and thought it was because he had relaxed recently, resulting in good sleep quality and full energy.
However, this method of exchanging blood really opened Bajir's eyes.
The essence of the basilisk was supposed to change the wizard's appearance, making him look like a snake like Voldemort, with snake eyes and scales.
But Voldemort used the blood of thousands of snakes and the tissues of various magical creatures to transform and derive them.
If we talk about the original version of the blood exchange, it is a single-minded purification, exhausting the evil in people's hearts, extremely enhancing one's adaptability to black magic, so that even a simple curse can kill people.
The modified version of blood exchange is to draw on the strengths of others and inherit the special abilities of the magical creatures in the raw materials in the blood to oneself in the form of blood.
This is the path he gave up in order to gain the lethality to defeat Dumbledore.
It can be said to be the magic version of the 72 transformations of the Earthly Fiends.
Although these superpowers may be hindered by the structure of the human body and the conflicts between them are weakened, under the leadership of the essence of the basilisk, a terrifying power will also be born.
The remnant of the thousand-year-old basilisk combined with the curse rooted in blood derived from the organization of many magical animals will cultivate another beast personality that actively responds to the enemy, just like the blood-cursed orcs.
This is why Voldemort is not afraid of Cedric's bad performance.
When the game officially begins and the blood seal is lifted, Cedric only needs to dance with instinct.
The beastly instinct will control the superpowers of invisibility, rebirth from the ashes, teleportation, bloodsucking, huge strength, dragon scales that defend against spells, etc. to deal with the trial.
In this way, time flies.
January 30, 1995.
Monday is also the New Year's Eve of the Dragon Country.
In addition to Cedric, the three warriors who had been isolated from the sun for training finally appeared in the Hogwarts Hall.
Ron finally saw Harry.
"Are you really Harry?"
He really couldn't believe that the strong man in front of him who could run a horse on his arm and stand a man on his fist was Harry.
"Your arms are as thick as my thighs."
"I can hardly believe that this is me." Harry sighed.
It's not just his appearance that has changed.
More importantly, his heart.
While speaking, his sharp eyes kept scanning the surroundings, his wand was hidden in his robe, and the spells to deal with were always lingering in his mind.
In less than a minute, he had thought of more than a dozen ways to deal with the wizards around him.
Even Ginny in his arms at this moment, he was no longer as charming as before, but was always preparing to pull out the potion in his dragon leather boots to defend against the enemy.
But he was not the only one who changed.
In his glasses that could see through magic, Krum was shining with the aura of magic all over his body.
From the buckles on his robe to the shirt inside, everything on him is a precious alchemical tool.
From the outside, he is covered in metal decorations, giving people a steampunk feel.
And Fleur, she herself is like magic.
Every inch of her body shines with a white fluorescence that can be seen even without glasses.
Her whole body is glowing, shining brightly.
The only one who has not changed is Cedric.
The wand is casually inserted in his pocket, without any sense of urgency as a warrior.
Following Harry's gaze, Ron said enviously, "I wish I were Cedric."
"He's been playing for almost three months. He doesn't have to go to class."
"Except for rainy days, every time we look out the window, we can see him riding a broom to play Quidditch."
"He gave up the game?" Harry frowned, "But this is a game held by a real god."
"Will his behavior cause..."
"What's more, if the trial itself is dangerous, if you are not strong, isn't this equivalent to suicide?"
Ginny explained, "He has relevant training. He just gave up learning in other fields and specialized in protection spells and wilderness survival magic in his spare time."
