Chapter 301 Frustration can make people move forward better

Amid the applause of the young wizards, Old Barty and Ludo came to Dumbledore.

After paying tribute to the two, Dumbledore continued: "In the past few months, Mr. Bagman and Mr. Crouch have worked tirelessly to arrange the Triwizard Tournament. Professor Karloff and Madame Maxime formed a panel of judges to judge the efforts of the warriors."

Upon hearing the word "warrior", the young wizards from the three magic schools became more attentive.

Dumbledore seemed to have noticed their changes, and he was not disappointed. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Filch, please bring up the box."

Filch was seen walking out of a corner of the auditorium, holding a large wooden box inlaid with jewelry in his hand. The box looked very old.

A group of young wizards watched in fascination. They talked enthusiastically, and some even stood on chairs in order to see more clearly.

Filch placed the wooden box on the table in front of him and turned his attention to Dumbledore.

"Mr. Crouch and Mr. Bagman have carefully reviewed the specific events for this year's Warriors competition, and they have made many necessary arrangements for each event. There are three events in total, each at different times throughout the school year. As they progress, they will test the warriors in many different ways... their talents in magic, their courage, their powers of reasoning... and, of course, their ability to overcome danger."

Dumbledore said calmly, and at the end of his sentence, his tone became extremely serious.

After hearing Dumbledore's last words, the auditorium became silent, and it seemed that everyone stopped breathing.

Dumbledore's eyes were calm as he continued: "As you already know, there will be three warriors participating in the competition, each representing a participating school. We will rate them based on the quality of their completion of each competition event. After the three events, The champion with the highest score will win the Triwizard Cup. It is the Goblet of Fire that is chosen by an impartial selector."

Having said this, Dumbledore pulled out his wand and tapped three times on the lid of the wooden box that Filch had placed on the table. The lid of the wooden box slowly opened.

Dumbledore reached in and pulled out a large, roughly carved wooden goblet. The cup itself was unremarkable, but it was filled with dancing blue-white flames.

Obviously, this cup is the legendary Goblet of Fire.

Looking at the Goblet of Fire in the distance, Linn touched his eyes with his left hand, a golden light flashed past, and two golden films appeared in front of Linn's pupils.

What Lin En used at this time was still the secret method taught to him by Nico Flamel, but this time he did not use the secret method on the alchemy creation itself, but made himself the target of the spell.

Looking through the golden film that appeared in front of his pupils, the countless alchemical formations contained in the Goblet of Fire emerged one after another, and Linn could see them at a glance. However, in the eyes of other wizards, the Goblet of Fire was still That ordinary wooden cup has not changed at all.

From the alchemy circle where the Goblet of Fire appeared in Linn's field of vision, Linn could distinguish the ancient alchemy circle that belonged to the Goblet of Fire itself, as well as the restrictions from Dumbledore that seemed to have been added not long ago.

In front of the Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore closed the wooden box that originally contained the Goblet of Fire and placed the Goblet of Fire on the lid of the wooden box so that everyone in the auditorium could clearly see it.

Dumbledore simply announced the rules for selecting warriors from various magic schools: "Every student who wants to be a warrior must write his name and school name on a piece of parchment and throw it into the flames. In the cup, those who are willing to become warriors can register within 24 hours. Tomorrow night, which is Halloween night, the Goblet of Fire will select the three students it thinks can best represent the three magic schools. Tonight, the Goblet of Fire will Put it in the foyer and it will be accessible to all students who are willing to run for office.”

"However, in order to prevent underage students from being tempted and secretly putting their names into the Goblet of Fire, after the Goblet of Fire is placed in the hall, I will draw an age line around it. Anyone under the age of seventeen No one can cross this age line. Finally, I would like to remind every student who wants to participate in the election that this Triwizard Tournament is not a child's play, and you must not participate rashly."

"Once a warrior is selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must persist in the game to the end. When you put your name into the cup, it actually forms a magical contract that must be observed. Once you become a warrior, you are not allowed to Change your mind again. So please think twice before you put your name in the cup before you put your name in the competition. Good night to everyone!"

Dumbledore announced seriously, and after announcing all the rules, Dumbledore smiled again and said to all the little wizards.

Listening to Dumbledore's words, Linn smiled slightly.

The "age line" in Dumbledore's words is actually just a cover-up. The real restriction is not in this so-called age line, but in the alchemical restriction inside the Goblet of Fire.

If Linn guessed correctly, the so-called age line was just a golden coil drawn with golden chalk, and some magic power was added to make the golden coil sparkle to deceive others.

"Age line!" Fred said in surprise at the Gryffindor table, his eyes sparkling, "That's easy to handle, it can definitely be deceived by the age-increasing agent, right?! As long as If your name goes into that cup, just smile happily...it can't tell who is over seventeen and who is under seventeen!"

Although Fred had reached the threshold of alchemy and was considered an official alchemist, he could not think of the real restriction when he could not see clearly the essence of the alchemical circle through the appearance of the Goblet of Fire. It lies in the alchemy circle of the Goblet of Fire.

At this time, many young wizards had already stood up and left the auditorium and walked towards the foyer.

Lin En, who was walking from a short distance away, glanced at Fred with pity, but he had no intention of reminding him. After all, as an alchemist, being able to sense the existence of the alchemy circle was the most basic quality.

Even though the Goblet of Fire itself is an alchemical creation, which can well cover up the fluctuations of the alchemical circle that Dumbledore imposed on it, Fred, as an alchemist, did not distinguish it from alchemy at all. Linked to consciousness, this is wrong.

However, with the intelligence of the Weasley twins, once Dumbledore's ban was applied to them, they would definitely be able to tell that it was the power of alchemy with their keen insight.

In some cases, some setbacks are necessary to make it better to move forward.
