Volume 5: The Burning Golden Flame Chapter 347 Crazy
At around six o'clock in the evening, Jon found the Australian whiteeye.
The location of the dragon was one he had marked while riding Hoss before, so it was not difficult to find it now.
Of course, John had also anticipated that the golden snitch around this dragon had been captured by Diane or Emil, so he actually had two alternative fire dragons, but these two dragons were far away from the exit of the Forbidden Forest and were not listed as his first choice.
When we came to the Australian White Eye, the dragon was eating.
Next to it lay two sheep that had been bitten to death. Of course, there would be no wild sheep in the forbidden forest. These sheep were released here by the Romanian dragon trainers when these fire dragons were released here, to ensure that these fire dragons could catch enough prey to eat within the limited area.
Although it cannot be seen clearly around, one can still vaguely perceive that there are many golden figures running around.
The Australian white eye seemed very dissatisfied with the golden snitches around it. Even though these things were alchemical items, they were as annoying as mosquitoes when flying.
However, the Egg White Eyes could not destroy or drive them away directly, so it could only look at the Golden Snitches with annoyance, and then lowered its head to eat a sheep.
It did not show much desire to attack Jon when he appeared. It was obviously much gentler than other fire dragons. It even deliberately avoided looking at Jon, as if it wanted to pretend that it did not notice his arrival.
Jon was also aware of this. There was no human presence in this diet. In most cases, dragons got along very well with humans. There was no essential conflict between them at all.
The Golden Snitch is not a dragon egg. Even if the dragon trainers instruct the dragons to keep a close watch on it, it is impossible for every dragon to be so obedient.
Like the white-eyed one that Diane encountered at the beginning, and the one that Jon saw now, they didn't care about these "golden flies" at all. They wished Jon could catch them all and save them from staying here and annoying the dragon.
It was certainly remarkable that Jon could finish such a first event of the competition so easily.
He did not disturb the Egg White Eyes that was eating dinner. He used the levitation spell to rise into the air, then cast a simple universal spell on himself and flew around the place where . Soon, a lot of magic power from the Golden Snitch was absorbed by the gems on his ring and fell to the ground.
Jon's luck was pretty good. There were about twenty golden snitches flying around this egg white eye. If he could catch them all, his harvest would exceed two hundred and ten, which would guarantee him first place in the competition.
He flew for about half an hour before he sucked away the magic power of all the golden snitches around him and dropped them on the grass.
Jon glanced at the time on his pocket watch. It was just past seven o'clock, which was much faster than he had expected.
He began to collect all the Golden Snitches on the ground, thinking that he would be able to meet Diane in front of the exit of the Forbidden Forest later, so that he could ensure the time ranking more securely.
But just as he was picking up the golden snitches, one of them suddenly caught his attention.
This golden snitch is no different in shape from the others. They are all the same size, with a golden metallic luster on the surface, and a pair of small wings as thin as cicada wings on both sides of the sphere.
The difference is that this golden snitch has a very obvious mark in the middle of its sphere.
Jon recognized that mark, a poisonous snake passing through a skull - the Dark Mark!
This symbol still exists in the wizarding world today. It is the exclusive mark of Voldemort's Death Eater Guards!
The moment John saw the Dark Mark, he had a very bad premonition in his heart. Just as this premonition arose, the marked Golden Snitch suddenly split in the middle!
Jon reacted instantly.
Without any hesitation, he threw the golden thief, whose gap was expanding and looked like it was about to open completely, out!
But at the moment he threw the thing out, a sticky liquid like glue suddenly gushed out from the Golden Snitch and directly covered Jon's whole body!
Jon's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and at the same time, a slightly fishy smell reached his nose.
The sticky liquid was all over his hair and robe. Jon didn't reach out to touch it at the first time, nor did he have any curiosity to investigate what the liquid was.
Without any hesitation, he raised the wand in his hand and cast a cleansing spell on himself.
"Clean it up!"
The cleansing spell took effect quickly, and a second later, all the mucus on his body disappeared completely, at least there was no trace left on the surface.
But Jon still frowned. The sticky liquid was gone, but the faint fishy smell still lingered around him.
It was at this moment that he noticed that the surroundings had suddenly become quiet.
The sound of the Australian white-eye leisurely eating disappeared, and even the sound of the wind seemed to be paused.
Jon gripped his wand tightly and raised his head, just in time to meet those huge, pupil-less eyes that were full of bloodshot and violence.
"roar!!!"
A dragon roar that could be said to have resounded throughout the entire Forbidden Forest, mixed with anger, rage, and resentment, shook Jon's eardrums!
The strong wind swept across the entire nearby grassland in just a few seconds. It was the White Eye flapping its wings violently. Its colorful scales were shining like moonlight in the night sky. All the trees that were obstacles to it were swept away by its pair of strong and powerful wings!
From beginning to end, its eyes were fixed on Jon, as if Jon had just made an unforgivable mistake to it, which made it furious to the extreme!
Staring at the fire dragon rising into the air, Jon held the magic wand in his hand with a frown on his face. There was no fear in his heart, but he was listening to his surroundings very carefully.
Soon, just as he had imagined the worst would happen, countless dragon roars continued to sound from all directions and throughout the forbidden forest!
…
After Diane and John separated, she walked towards the exit without any hesitation in the direction she had taken when she entered the Forbidden Forest.
The goal that Jon set for her was not wrong, because for both Jon and Emil, this forbidden forest belonging to Hogwarts could be said to be half of their home.
With such advantages, she could never be as adept as the two boys in the Forbidden Forest, finding the distribution of dragons and catching the Golden Snitch in the fastest time.
Therefore, even if she continued to stay, she would not be able to gain an advantage in terms of the number of Golden Snitches captured.
Therefore, it is necessary to end the score on the match time.
With the help of moonlight, Diane quickly found the outer path leading into the Forbidden Forest from the direction of Hogwarts. She walked along this path and soon came to the open space where the four people were preparing to set off for the competition.
At this time, in the open space, the three referees from the International Confederation of Wizards were waiting here, and there were about a dozen reporters and Aurors around them.
These news practitioners are well aware that there will definitely be contestants who can complete the competition on the first night to guarantee a time ranking score. These are first-hand news, and with most wizards in Europe paying attention to the Triwizard Tournament, getting this news means newspaper sales.
Just as Diane saw the people in the open space, the three referees and reporters waiting here also saw her.
Suddenly, countless flashes lit up, and every camera present captured the scene of Diane walking out of the forbidden forest.
But it is only seven o'clock now, and there is still a full hour before the first event can officially end at eight o'clock. So even if Diane came here, her competition has not yet ended. She must wait until eight o'clock to cross the silver line where the protection restrictions are lifted, so that she can complete the normal competition.
Just when Diane was standing in front of the silver line, a red spell suddenly and silently shot out from behind her!
Such a sneak attack left Daisy, whose eyes were already dazzled by the camera flashes, with no time to react at all!
But just when the spell was less than ten centimeters away from hitting her back, a shield reflecting the red light of the spell suddenly lit up!
Diane kept the Shield Charm on her body at all times in the Forbidden Forest and saved her once!
The silently cast spell did not penetrate her armor spell, but only caused a few cracks on the surface, and could not cause any more damage.
Diane turned around with a painful look on her face. She held the wand in her hand and without hesitation, she cast a silent spell in the direction of the sneak attack spell!
The bright red light pierced through the darkness of the forbidden forest and illuminated Emil's grim face.
Because Diane was only relying on the direction of the attack to counterattack, her spell was not very accurate. Emil just slightly tilted his body, and the spell passed by him.
This sneak attack and counterattack happened in just a few seconds!
The reporters who witnessed it all exclaimed in amazement, their fingers pressed the shutter buttons even faster, and flashes kept lighting up.
The warriors from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons met before the finish line. As long as they both wanted to compete for the first place in time, this battle was inevitable!
These reporters couldn't be more excited about what happened, as it meant they would have more explosive content to write in tomorrow's newspaper and more magical photos to show the public.
Diane and Emil, the two parties involved, understand this better than anyone else.
They held wands in their hands, facing each other at a distance of twenty meters, and Diane sneered.
"A pure-blood noble named Lestrange can only use sneak attacks?"
The gloomy look on Emil's face did not change. He had suffered enough humiliation at the hands of Jon, and Diane's words were nothing to his current psychological endurance.
"As long as the goal can be achieved, the means are not the key. I think the Rozier family's diehards should understand this better than I do."
Although both of them came from pure-blood families, they were in two completely different camps, and the focus of their ridicule was naturally on the family.
Just when the showdown between them was about to begin, the ground suddenly began to tremble!
Everyone present felt the vibration, and many reporters holding cameras almost lost their balance and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, along with the vibration, came countless roars that resounded through the sky!
In the forbidden forest, there were more than a dozen places where dragon flames spewed toward the sky, and then those huge monsters soared into the sky!
Such a huge commotion made everyone present change their expressions. Among the three referees, Matthew looked up at the sky with an ugly expression. The next second, he turned his head to look at the dragon trainers from Romania.
"What happened to those dragons!?"
After hearing the dozen dragon roars, the dragon trainers all changed their expressions. They stared with wide eyes at the sky that was already covered with golden dragon flames. No one answered Matthew's question.
Among all the people present, only Emil showed little surprise on his face.
He looked back at the forbidden forest that was already shrouded in golden flames, and the corners of his mouth even curled up in an inconspicuous arc.
This first game had competition items proposed by the Hogwarts Castle side. How could they not have made some preparations against Jon?
Of course, Jon didn't know what had happened at the entrance to the outer edge of the Forbidden Forest, and he didn't have the energy or mood to think about it.
After all the fire dragons in the Forbidden Forest roared, he turned over and rode on Hoss's back without any hesitation!
"Run! Hoss! Go to the direction of Hogwarts Castle! Run to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest!"
However, before Hoss could take the first step, the Australian white eye fell from the sky and blocked Jon and Hoss!
At the same time, the high temperature evaporated the moisture in the air, and even the strong wind became hot!
"roar!"
As the dragon roared, golden dragon flames spewed out from its mouth. The flames filled with dragon magic were like living fire snakes. The moment they were spewed out, they began to surround John and the others!
Jon saw that the way ahead was blocked and that Hoss had no way of breaking through the encirclement of flames. At the same time, as the rising and falling dragon roars in the distance were getting closer, he made a quick decision.
"Go back! We have to leave here first!"
