Chapter 249 Malfoy: Scamander Will Leave His Body Intact
Looking at the confused eyes of Harry and Ron, Ludo was stunned.
You two don't even know the gift for the mermaid, and you are participating in the chicken competition?
He scratched his head and confirmed again: "Didn't you two solve the secret of the golden egg?"
"No." Harry shook his head honestly.
"But we know we have to dive into the Black Lake to find the mermaid." Ron said hurriedly.
Ludo plucked a soft beard at the corner of his mouth and frowned thoughtfully. It seems that someone told them the content of the competition.
But he didn't say it all, and missed a key message!
Seeing Ludo's expression change, no matter how stupid Harry was, he realized that something was wrong, and he hurriedly asked:
"Mr. Bagman, what is the gift for the mermaid?"
"The gift is..."
Just then, the curtain of the tent was opened again, and Madame Maxime led the students of Beauxbatons into the tent.
Ludo immediately shut up.
Maxime is a powerful woman, and she doesn't want to be caught by the other party for helping Hogwarts students cheat.
After Ludo greeted Maxime, he clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, now everyone is here - it's time to introduce the details to you!"
"The second project will be carried out under the Black Lake. I think you have learned this information from the golden egg and are ready."
The warriors all nodded, including Harry and Ron, but their expressions looked very unnatural.
"You will go to the Black Lake in a while. Each warrior will separate and go to the Mermaid Village from different ferries."
"Is the distance from each ferry to the Mermaid Village the same?" A student from Durmstrang asked the question that everyone was concerned about.
"Of course it's different." Ludo smiled and said: "The nearest and farthest ferries to the Mermaid Village are several miles apart in straight-line distance."
The warriors looked at each other. The gap was so big, and this first-mover advantage was not a little bit.
"Do we draw lots to decide the ferry crossing?" a girl from Beauxbatons asked.
"No draw." Ludo shook his head, "Based on the performance of the first project, whoever scores higher will have a shorter distance."
Many people looked at Rolf with envy and jealousy.
He was stronger than others, and now he has the advantage of distance, which makes the gap even bigger.
But there is no way, who let him be the first in the first project.
Ludo looked at the watch and said, "Okay, time is up, we should go."
Harry and Ron wanted to secretly ask what the gift was on the way to the Black Lake, and ask who to borrow some gifts.
But as soon as they walked out of the tent, a group of staff came and led everyone to their respective ferry crossings.
Harry and Ron were stunned. They were like students who came to the examination room. They were shocked to hear that some of the content to be tested had never been reviewed at all...
They still wanted to cram at the last minute, but the invigilator had already arrived.
Rove followed Ludo and quickly came to the Black Lake. Thousands of seats were lined up on the shore and reflected in the lake.
All the teachers and students in the school were out. They sat on chairs and made noisy noises.
Rove saw fifteen huge magic screens floating in the air, with small advertisements playing on them.
Rove remembered that in the original time and space, the second and third events of the Triwizard Tournament were not broadcast live at all.
The audience sat in the cold wind for several hours and saw nothing. Not to mention the viewing experience, they were just suffering.
Due to Rove's butterfly effect, the second event was still broadcast live, which had to be said to be a good thing.
Ludo pointed the wand at his throat and said, "Loud voice!"
His voice soon passed over the dark lake like thunder and reached the stands.
"Listen, everyone. Our warriors have taken their positions at other ferry crossings on the Black Lake. They will go deep into the lake to find the mermaid village and get guidance from the mermaids to take back what was stolen from them."
"They have two full hours. I'll start when I count to three. One... two... three!"
The sharp whistle echoed in the cold, still air, and cheers and applause broke out in the stands.
The little wizards all stared at Rolf standing on the shore, wanting to see what method he would use to enter the water.
But Rolf did not use Transfiguration, nor did he take potions, nor did he use the Bubble Head Charm. He just calmly took out a... scale from his pocket.
It was a golden scale. It was warm, as if it had life, shining with golden light, brighter than gold.
Ludo, who had returned to the referee's seat, soon resounded throughout the Black Lake with his slightly puzzling voice.
"Scamander took a scale out of his pocket. What is he going to do?"
Otavius Akus, who was sitting next to him, narrowed his single eye and suddenly said, "It's the scale of the golden two-tailed mermaid..."
Rolf looked at the golden scale, which was peeled off from Myrcella's body. According to the girl, the scale was soaked in body fluids.
As long as you hold it in your mouth, you can breathe underwater.
Rolf put the scale in his mouth, feeling the original scale with the smell of seaweed, sea and mermaid, then flew towards the center of the lake and dived into the water.
At the same time, in the distant downstream, other warriors also went into the water.
……
……
Standing at the door of the tent, Malfoy looked at the distance uneasily, and heard a faint whistle in his ears.
The game must have begun, Malfoy thought gloomily, until the group of students was over and it was their turn again.
Suddenly there was a cry from behind, followed by an angry scolding.
"Shut up, Crabbe, stop crying!"
"Ada, let him cry, he is also scared." Malfoy turned around and comforted her.
Who is not afraid?
They started with nine people, and one-third of them died in the first project. The mortality rate was so terrifying. Who knew if he would be one-third of the people in the second project?
Not to mention that there is a third project... I am really rushing to destroy them!
Not to mention Crabbe, even Malfoy was terrified. His child was still young, and although his wife was no longer young, she still had her charm.
What will this orphaned and widowed family do if Malfoy dies?
"But he was crying so much that I couldn't sleep." growled little Ada Avery impatiently. "I really want to give him a gut-wrenching blow."
After Avery finished speaking, he stood up and left the tent cursing.
Malfoy looked at Crabbe and Goyle with frightened faces, and whispered:
"Don't pay attention to him. We will do the same this time as before. Once we enter the Black Lake, we will find a place to hide. We will survive until the end of the game... we will definitely not die."
Crabbe and Goyle both nodded.
Malfoy looked at Alecto Carlo in the corner again and asked, "Where is your brother? Isn't it because he doesn't dare to come?"
"Amycus is at the bottom of the Black Lake. He will come when the trouble is solved." Alecto smiled: "It won't delay the game."
"He went to ambush Scamander?!" Malfoy said in shock.
"Yes, didn't Amycus say before the first project started that he was going to kill Scamander?" Alecto put his feet on a chair and said lazily:
"My brother has endured it for so long before taking action, which already surprised me."
Malfoy's expression changed, and he stared at Alecto. After a while, he sighed:
"You'd better prepare to collect the body as soon as possible."
"It's hard to tell." Alecto joked: "Amycus likes to torture corpses. He plays rough and probably won't leave a whole corpse for Scamander."
"No, you misunderstood, Alecto. I meant you go collect your brother's body." Malfoy said expressionlessly:
"Scamander will definitely leave his body intact."
