Chapter 107 Invention

"Do you suspect that there are still people collaborating with Greengrass and Bernard?"

Mu Yu tapped her fingers on the table. She was currently in "Moody"'s office. There was a twisted golden antenna placed on the table. There was a buzzing sound, and the big box in the corner trembled slightly. She waved her wand gently to suppress the movement of the box.

"Squibs and Obscurials are hard to find," Barty Crouch Jr. kept pacing inside. "A Greengrass and a French Ministry of Magic can't hold up such a big position. No matter who it is, a place like this must For our use, we must at least hand it over to those crazy people in Norway. We can start with Bernard..."

"Those people in Norway are not crazy," Mu Yu interrupted him while he was free, "Now even what they are doing is unknown. I don't know, no matter how much you think about it, it's just empty talk. You should strengthen the spell."

She pointed to the box: "He is very powerful even without a wand. Tomorrow is the first project. Harry has already mastered the flying spell. "

Recently, the relationship between them has inexplicably eased a bit. At least Barty Crouch Jr. no longer chokes with her frequently: "Potter is lucky to have a know-it-all as a friend. The Order of the Phoenix is ​​not so lucky.

"Fudge's actions are faster than expected." " He firmly believes that Dumbledore

is secretly developing his power without telling him. Some of the Aurors who support Fudge are investigating like mad dogs, and they are going to split without us taking action."

Suddenly burst out laughing, she stood up and looked at Crouch up and down: "You know, you are now completely looking like Mad-Eye," she said quickly before the latter had time to react. , "Good night."

Under normal circumstances, she would speak extremely softly, even very pleasantly.

Barty Crouch Jr. just stood there quietly watching her walk away step by step, slowly blending into the deep darkness in the corridor. He once watched a thin figure walking into the surroundings of dementors. The strange thing was that he had no emotion at that time, as if the person who stepped into the cell was not his relative.

However, at this moment, he inexplicably remembered what he asked Mu Yu at that time and her answer after a long silence.

"Where I should be."

She was like a patient who knew she was terminally ill, squandering her last days wantonly.

"Good night." He said to her calmly for the first time.

The next day, no one has been willing to listen to the class seriously since the morning. Everyone is talking about what the warrior will face in the first project. Especially when the last class is the history of magic, the whole morning seems even longer. .

When Professor Binns finally slowly announced that class was over, everyone rushed out like an arrow, trying to get to the competition venue as quickly as possible before lunch to occupy the most advantageous position.

Professor McGonagall strode towards Harry only halfway through lunch. She looked even more nervous than Harry himself. After Harry left, the others put down their dishes and went straight to the stands.

Daphne and Mu Yu walked together. She sighed as they walked: "Oh, I really don't think highly of Potter. He is too young."

Since learning about Albert Greengrass, Mu Yu's feelings towards Daphne and As Tolia had a subtle feeling, but it was still not obvious at all. At this time, most of her attention was also focused on the competition: "You forgot about the special contribution award he won for the school in the second grade. On the plus side, at least he is the only warrior in Hogwarts. "

The stands for the game were set up at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and they heard several deafening roars before they even reached the stands. Daphne tightened Mu Yu's sleeves: "This is... this is..."

When they sat down at the highest point of the stand, the continuous roar became even more terrifying. Daphne had already guessed what the Warriors were going to face. She looked as if she was about to go off to compete: "They are crazy, using fire dragons. Qitong, she...she..."

Her worry did not seem to be fake, it was short. Their friendship has become so deep within a month.

"Don't worry," Mu Yu comforted her softly, "Qitong is the best disciple of Kunlun. He is just a fire dragon."

These words did not comfort Daphne, and her hands were still twisted together uneasily.

The stands have gradually become crowded, not only students, but also some adult wizards have come specially to watch the game. All the referees sat on raised golden chairs in the first row, and behind them there were six people in purple robes, and their seats were also raised. They looked nothing like ordinary spectators.

Daphne noticed Mu Yu's gaze, and she seemed to be looking for something to do to distract her attention, so she explained to her without asking Mu Yu: "Those six people are from the International Federation of Wizards. They are responsible for judging the referees. The scoring will be arbitrated. At least four people must pass the referee's score to be valid, otherwise the scoring power will be handed over to the arbitration committee. There are many schools participating in this competition, so the arbitration mechanism is made an exception. "

Mu Yu's attention was not focused on it at all . Above, a short young man who was a few rows ahead turned his head and glanced at her quickly. She was sure that it was looking at her, but when she was about to look over again, the man was no longer looking back.

Her hand hit the railing. Whose trick could this be?

A sharp whistle sounded at this time, and the game had begun. The originally lively crowd fell silent for a moment.

A fire dragon as tall as at least two elephants was led into the field. The scales on its body exuded shining gray, and its dark red eyes glared at the dozens of dragon tamers who were struggling to hold it. Its claws are the most eye-catching. From a distance, the claws are full of sharp barbs, which can crush people directly into powder.

As soon as it entered the field, it pounced directly on the golden egg placed in the center of the field.

Shen Qitong, who had just entered the scene, was as small as an ant in front of it. Viewed from a distance from the stands, her bright red cloak had condensed into a tiny red dot.

"Our first warrior from Kyushu has arrived. Her mission is to seize the golden egg under the protection of the fire dragon. The Ukrainian Iron Belly is the largest dragon known so far. Its claws are sharp and contain poison..." Ludo Bagman explained dutifully.

The Ukrainian iron-belly was lying on the golden egg, grinning and threatening Shen Qitong.

Shen Qitong opened an umbrella unhurriedly. The light blue light emitted from the umbrella was particularly dazzling under the dark sky. There was a small bell hanging from each corner of the umbrella. When she rotated the umbrella, each bell jingled and made a crisp sound. Her left hand was also forming seals at a dazzling speed, and the whole place echoed her light voice: "Xuanwuqi, Kanshui, Huan."

Crystal water drops flowed from the paper umbrella in her hand towards the firm The fire dragon lying on the golden egg went away. The fire dragon's eyes were obviously confused at this time, but it still did not leave the dragon egg it wanted to protect.

Shen Qitong walked slowly towards the dragon holding the umbrella. The umbrella was like a part of her body, and the rhythm of each bell swaying perfectly matched her pace. Everyone held their breath, even Ludo Bagman stopped explaining and watched her next move intently.

The phantom formation that can break the fire dragon's powerful magic defense, even if the formation eye is centered on the fire dragon's weakest eye, Shen Qitong's formation skills can be seen.

With the clear sound of the bell and her approaching step by step, the confusion in the fire dragon's eyes became even worse. Its eyes as big as copper bells looked straight in the other direction, and before anyone had time to react, it suddenly raised its eyes. The huge wings, which almost covered half of the sky in the arena, left the guarding dragon egg and flew towards another part of the sky.

"Oh my god, Merlin, what kind of magic is this? Will our Kyushu players get the golden egg as quickly as possible?" Even with the use of spell amplification, Ludo Bagman's voice at this time sounded as thin as Mosquito, as if afraid of accidentally disturbing the fire dragon.

While the fire dragon was leaving the ground, Shen Qitong quickly approached the golden egg with extremely strange steps. But just when she was still a few inches away from the golden egg, the fire dragon in mid-air suddenly broke free from the illusion array. When it discovered that a human was trying to get close to the dragon egg it was guarding, it let out a loud roar, and along with the roar, a violent flame spewed out of its mouth.

This flame is as tall as its body, and the heat of the flame can be felt from far away in the magically protected stands. Shen Qitong's figure was completely submerged in the flames.

The scene was eerily silent for a moment.

A bright blue light suddenly burst out from the bright red and hot flames, and the umbrella in Shen Qitong's hand turned into a huge whip and entangled with the flames spouted by the fire dragon. From the bells on the whip, it can still be seen that it is her natal magic weapon. The whip seemed to grow on her hand, and she swung it up and down to form a big net to block the flames' attack.

The crowd burst into cheers.

The cloak was on fire, but she didn't care at all. She and the fire dragon were both in the air at this time. While she was dealing with the flames, she was distracted and looked at the golden egg that was very close at hand.

The cheers disappeared little by little, and everyone looked nervously at the figure fighting the fire dragon. Only the swishing sound of the long whip hitting the air could be heard in the arena.

The fire dragon seemed to be completely annoyed and stretched out its long and sharp claws to grab Shen Qitong from the air. The latter seemed to finally find a chance at this moment. She waved her long whip and tightly wrapped the fire dragon's claws, and then Quickly jumping down, the huge fire dragon was pulled out of the air by her, letting out a painful whine. It spit out another flame, but it was far less fierce than before. Shen Qitong turned over to avoid the flames and held the golden egg in her arms. Half of her cloak was already charred.

The fire dragon fell to the ground and panted heavily.

Ludo Bagman was stunned for several seconds before cheering loudly: "She caught it! She caught it! It only took twelve minutes for the first warrior to catch the golden egg! The fight with the fire dragon was so exciting! So exciting. This time

the crowd burst into deafening cheers, and the cheers even drowned out the pitiful cry of the fire dragon. The dragon tamers immediately stepped onto the field to quell the fire dragon's anger. Daphne screamed the loudest, as if she had passed through a fire dragon. She loudly said to Mu Yu: "That's great! Qitong must be in the medical tent. I want to go see her. Her scores will be out later." ."

She said this but for the first time she hurried towards the medical tent without waiting for Mu Yu's reaction, seemingly unwilling to care about the rest of the game. The dragon tamers were still working together to drag away the angry Ukrainian Iron Belly, and it was still some time before the second contestant came on stage. Mu Yu slowly followed Daphne's footsteps towards the medical tent.

After passing the medical tent, you need to bypass a small forest. At this time, everyone's energy is on the stands. The cold November wind blows through the woods, making a sharp whistle. When Mu Yu was about to go around the woods, the young man who had been looking back at her from the stands suddenly rushed in front of her from nowhere: "Miss Mu."

She saw it clearly when he grabbed her hand. The Dark Mark revealed on his arm.

Her expression changed, and she quickly waved her wand to build a simple isolation array before lowering her voice and saying, "You don't want your life! Put this away quickly!"

But the man didn't realize it, and the hand holding Mu Yu was trembling. : "Yes, the master asked me to come and tell you. Mr. Swanstadt has developed a potion that can allow wizards to thrive."
