In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Five days passed quickly.

During this period, Jon had been staying in the carriage. Even when he got off the carriage, he would only wander around this area of ​​the Black Lake, which made the Aurors who were always guarding the entrance of the castle and stared at him as soon as they saw him relax a little. Some mental alertness.

During this period, there was still no news from Lyon that Jon was expecting, which made him feel a little disappointed.

However, in his original plan, Animagus was not used as an important means after the game, so although he was disappointed, it did not put him under much psychological pressure.

And just less than two days before the start of the first competition event, that afternoon, the entire sky of Hogwarts Castle was covered by the black shadows of more than a dozen behemoths.

The Thestrals relaxing on the lawn swung their tails restlessly. In the Forbidden Forest, countless birds rose into the sky and flew into the distance with a clatter.

Many students on the carriage were alarmed by the noise outside. They stepped out of the carriage and looked up to see the dozen dragons flying in the sky!

The fire dragon is an xxxxx level magical animal, and it is considered to be the most powerful among many magical animals.

This kind of creature is not common, and is even on the verge of extinction. In addition to human occupation of nature, which has compressed their living space, it is also mainly because each dragon itself is a huge treasure house.

Dumbledore and Nico Flamel jointly developed twelve uses of dragon blood. Dragon skin is an excellent armor used to isolate magic and protect the human body. Dragon eyes are a necessary magic material for certain alchemical items. Even dragon nerves and heartstrings can be used to make wand cores.

Because of this, the various precious materials attached to the fire dragon that the wizard could not leave, and the reality that dragons were about to become extinct, the fire dragon sanctuary and the profession of dragon tamer came into being.

The International Federation of Wizards has established an organization specifically for this purpose to ensure the continuation of fire dragons so that they can continue to contribute to the development of wizards. The European Fire Dragon Sanctuary is established in Romania.

While traveling in France some time ago, Jon heard several of Ron's brothers talk about how many fire dragons in the Romanian reserve seemed to have been bought.

Looking at the overwhelming fire dragons in the sky that enveloped the entire Hogwarts campus, and the dragon trainers who rode on the backs of the dragons to control them as they began to hover over the Forbidden Forest and finally landed with a crash, Jon then realized that those who had been bought What on earth is the walking fire dragon going to be used for?

George looked at the sky and was stunned. This was the first time in his life that he saw a real live fire dragon, and he saw so many at once.

Whether it was the Hogwarts carriage or the Durmstrang students, his performance was almost the same. After all, the scene of so many giant creatures appearing together was truly shocking.

Diane swallowed subconsciously, and it could be heard that she was trying her best to keep her voice calm.

"Our first project isn't to fight these fire dragons to the death, right?"

Although for the entire group of wizards, because dragons have a large target range and are solitary creatures, they are easily targeted and hunted, but that is only if there are more than two digits of wizards working together.

Dragon skins have extremely strong resistance to magic spells, which is far more than that of basilisks. In addition, they are extremely powerful and can breathe dragon breath with magical power. When facing them, a single wizard can basically run away for his life. There is no other countermeasure.

Even if the death curse used by ordinary dark wizards, the extremely high magic resistance cannot make them die directly. At least the evil will to release the death curse must be strong enough.

If the four students participating in the competition were really allowed to duel with these fire dragons separately, then even Jon would most likely be roasted into charcoal due to the limited venue.

It is precisely because of this that Jon doesn't think the referees will set up such a competition event that no one can complete.

He looked at the forbidden forest where the fire dragon fell and said softly.

"Compared to fighting with dragons, I think they want us to survive in the wilderness in the Forbidden Forest."

Jon's idea was confirmed two days later.

The news that more than a dozen fire dragons flew into the Forbidden Forest spread to the ears of every student in the four schools in the past two days.

This made them feel more excited and a little disappointed.

Because if the competition venue is set in the Forbidden Forest, then they will definitely not be able to watch the entire process as spectators.

On Monday of the second week of September, all four warriors of the Triwizard Tournament were gathered at the entrance next to the Forbidden Forest.

Except for Jon and the four of them, there were no other students watching. Instead, they were filled with adult wizards.

Dumbledore, Voldemort, Rozier, Beauxbatons' vice-chancellor and three wizards from the Federation, a total of seven judges, three dragon trainers with strong builds and skin that looks like a bronze from years of wind and sun. , reporters from various European countries and a dozen Auror security officers led by Lucius.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit solemn. Compared with the Triwizard Tournament hundreds of years ago, it lacked the friendly atmosphere of communication between schools. Instead, it was full of solemnity.

The warriors were gathered together, and photographers from different countries took group photos of them. Matthew, as the general representative of the referees, was confirming some final instructions about the fire dragon with the leader of the dragon trainers in a low voice.

No one else spoke, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Finally, with less than half an hour left before the start of the game, Matthew had people disperse the reporters and called Jon and the others into the middle.

His expression was serious and his voice was raised, making it clearly audible to everyone present, even in this empty grassland.

"The Triwizard Tournament was originally an event for three magic schools in Europe to communicate with each other. However, since 1792, this competition has been suspended because of the extremely serious threat to the lives of participating students. Almost always it results in injuries or even death.”

"Two hundred years ago, European wizards canceled this competition in order to eliminate unnecessary casualties. And two hundred years later, we restarted it again for the safety of more people!"

"This competition is to avoid a war that cannot be solved by peace! But war has always been cruel, and this competition to eliminate war must also be cruel. We will not design competitions that are like child's play. , in order for everyone to be convinced by the final result and victory, you must face challenges and threats that are countless times more difficult than those of the warriors two hundred years ago."

When he spoke, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and his voice was not soothing or gentle, but as cold and stiff as steel.

"I think these may just be my unnecessary nonsense, because after you planned to throw your name into the Goblet of Fire, you already made a decision in your heart. This Triwizard Tournament will be held again after two hundred years. I will no longer care about your life or death in the game, and the only thing that will be accepted by the wizards in the end is victory or defeat!"

The moment he finished speaking, birds in the Forbidden Forest soared into the sky, and a restless roar shook the forest.

Draco, whose body had been tense, subconsciously took a step back. Emil's face was also pale. Diane pursed her lips tightly and stared at the deep forbidden forest without blinking.

Even Jon was a little nervous. He was not afraid of such a battle, but quietly held the thing around his neck. What he was thinking about was how Matthew should check them before entering the Forbidden Forest. Work.

"Now, let me explain what you need to do in the first competition event."

Matthew finally began to talk about the detailed rules of this game.

"I believe you all already know that a group of big guys have come to the Forbidden Forest in the past two days. They are all wild and untamable fire dragons from Romania. They have been arranged in various locations in the Forbidden Forest. At the same time, the dragon trainers They helped us place a total of fifty golden snitches around the territory that these fire dragons have circled."

"These golden snitches have been cast with specific magic. They will not fly away from the territory of the fire dragon. What you have to do is to capture as many snitches as possible under the protection of the big guys here. In the end, we will use your Sorting by the number of snitches obtained, the one with the most snitches will get 70 points, the second place will get 50 points, the third place will get 30 points, and the fourth place will get 10 points. And the time of coming out of the Forbidden Forest , will also be used as your scoring standard. You must stay in this forest for at least three days. After that, the first person to come back will get forty points, the second person to come back will get thirty points, and the third person will get thirty points. Twenty points, the fourth ten points. The latest deadline is seven days. If after seven days, there is still someone in the Forbidden Forest who has not returned, then no matter how many golden snitches he gets in the end, his score can only be 0. "

The rules were very detailed, and the specific content was indeed not beyond Jon's expectations. They would stay in the Forbidden Forest for at least three days, basically letting them survive in the wilderness.

And it is not difficult to see from the rules that the designers of this event mainly focus on allowing the participating warriors to catch as many golden snitches as possible, but the control of points in time also makes speed a bonus. Important indicators, how to weigh the two between time and quantity, depends on how the warriors make their own choices after entering the Forbidden Forest.

After all the rules were explained clearly, Jon and the others officially began preparations for entering the Forbidden Forest.

There was a table placed in front of each of them. Matthew waved his wand lightly, and their robes fluttered as if blown by a strong wind. Then all the scattered items placed in the clothes were blown away. fell on the table.

Matthew took the other two referees from the federation and started checking them one by one, starting with Emil.

"Is this a memory ball?"

The African witch picked up a small ball on the table and asked in somewhat broken English.

Emil replied expressionlessly.

"This is just a simple souvenir, given to me by my grandmother."

"We don't want to know its function. What we want to know is does it contain magic power?"

"I don't know, but I don't think so."

The Arab diplomat obviously had doubts about the emir's words. He picked up the ball and tapped it lightly with his wand, and then the whole ball lit up with a light blue light.

He looked at Emil meaningfully.

"It seems that you don't know much about it, Mr. Lestrange. Do you want us to keep it for you, or do you appoint the custodian?"

Emil didn't show much embarrassment on his face. He looked at Lucius who was standing there.

Lucius coughed lightly, then took a step forward and took the ball from the Arab diplomat's hand.

"Just leave this thing with me temporarily. I will give it to him after the game is over."

The three referees looked at each other and had no negative opinions.

Then they walked up to Diane and picked up a bracelet from the table. The bracelet seemed to be made of metal, with a silver coat of arms on the top. On the surface, it did not have any distinctive features. .

"This is the crest of the Rozier family. Apart from being a symbol of status and honor, it has no magic attached to it."

It was not Diane who spoke, but Vader Rozier who was standing next to Dumbledore.

Matthew nodded in agreement, but still picked up the bracelet and did some testing. After confirming that she was not lying, he returned it to Diane's hand.

Then there was Draco, who had nothing to carry except a wand, which saved the judges a lot of work.

Finally it was Jon's turn.

There was a strange pendant on his table. Hanging from a red rope was a badly worn wooden sign and a ring set with three blue rhombus gemstones.

"these are?"

Matthew picked up the pendant in front of Jon.

"The wooden sign was a gift from a friend of mine, and the ring was left by my family."

Jon said calmly.

"They're just ordinary things."

Matthew glanced at the wooden sign first, and then lost interest. It was difficult to fake this thing. It did not have any magical features on it. He focused directly on the ring.

There are many alchemy items in this form in the magic world. By observing it with the naked eye, he couldn't see anything strange. Instead, he directly raised his wand and tapped it lightly on the ring.

Nothing happened, as if the ring was just a Muggle product.

Finally, Matthew handed the pendant back to Jon's hand, and after taking it back calmly, Jon felt quietly relieved.

This ring is as indistinguishable as a stone on the roadside to those who are not up to the standard. As Slughorn said when he first handed it to Jon, maybe except for Jon, the entire magical world No one can use it anymore.
