Chapter 254 Three strong new rules and self-proof of innocence
Chapter 254
The hustle and bustle was left behind, and the closed wooden door cut off all the sound. Dumbledore also came to this room with the three of them, but he was a little late, and it seemed that he took some time to appease the aggrieved people outside. s student.
"Professor Dumbledore." Harry looked at Dumbledore with some trepidation. To be honest, he was not as calm as Ron and Cedric. After all, their selection had already become inevitable in the discussion of the little wizard. .
One is a big devil who can single out several grades in various meanings, from beating Slytherin on the train at the beginning of school, to beating the whole school with Quidditch, and tearing up basilisks, punching fire dragons and crushing several Horcruxes with one foot , Pull out any of these things at random, if the little wizards find that Ron was not selected, then something is wrong.
And the other is Hufflepuff's Crown Heart, so handsome that he can attract a lot of fans of both men and women with a casual hook-up. Cedric has learned the Animagus transformation and it has been confirmed in this year's Transfiguration exam. Cedric, who combines strength, beauty and wisdom, almost has a perfect boyfriend image. If there is a prince, then Cedar is definitely famous. The real one.
With such a comparison, Harry's lack of self-confidence is normal. He even couldn't believe it when he heard his name.
"Then they are all excellent. The Goblet of Fire won't lie."
Dumbledore saw through Harry's uneasiness, but he didn't make a long speech, but simply said something, and then motioned Harry to look forward.
The registration process has already started.
"Please put your hands on the crystal ball, and then input your magic power into it as a record. We also need to take your photo."
"Look here." Someone raised a camera and took a full-body photo of Ron.
"Okay, the first step of registration is over. Now go and take a look at the rules and contract of this competition. There are seventeen points for attention. The highlighted ones have been marked in red. After reading them, sign at the end and finally need to complete a magic spell." There is also a disclaimer on the contract, you can take this back, as long as you send it by owl mail before August [-]st, we will send a reply within [-] hours after receiving it, if you don’t send it, it means you waive it .”
"Although there will be enough protective measures in this three-final match, if you are not capable or encounter any accidents, death will not happen, and serious injuries will also happen. You ask your parents or guardians to sign the waiver. If not, the principal of your school can also call the shots."
The man who handed Ron a stack of papers turned his head and reminded Dumbledore: "However, the headmaster needs to strictly review the student's family situation. If he still has a guardian, then not only will he have to bear the consequences, but he will even be punished." be held accountable."
"Thanks for the reminder." Dumbledore nodded at the man.
"Well, next, Mr. Cedric Diggory."
Ron sat on the chair first and carefully read the rule contract in his hand. The first thing that caught his eye was the core rules set up for this competition to ensure fairness.
The wizarding world has never been truly fair, and even compared to Muggles, the two ends of the magic world's balance are very different.
Aristocratic families, families, and other organizations that are united by blood or other means exist in any country. If there are no injuries, the lifespan of wizards generally ranges from 130 to 100 years old, and powerful wizards live to close to [-] years old. It is not impossible to be [-] years old. Although there is only one super-class existence like Nicole May, more than [-] years is actually enough.
Those wizards from non-magic families, or wizards from ordinary magic families, are hard to compare with those from big families. Even in the down-and-out wizard families, the precious things they have accumulated over time are what ordinary people can only dream of. Yes, not to mention those crystallizations condensed with the wisdom of several generations, or even dozens of generations.
Of course, there are not many people who can have such a strong backer, and those families with a long history are not so good to see, especially in families that uphold the idea of "pure blood", their families will marry with close relatives. This distorted old-fashioned concept collapsed.
The British wizarding world is actually a very vivid portrayal. There are very few ancient wizard families, and there are very few family heirlooms that can be preserved.
Muggles were not the only ones who were once ignorant. Wizards actually lacked a correct and in-depth study of knowledge such as genetics and biology. Magic covered their eyes, making it difficult for them to see the world from another perspective at the beginning.
In order to bridge the gap between wizards from families and wizards from ordinary families to the greatest extent, the first item of the rule contract is written in striking red.
'All players participating in this Triwizard Tournament are prohibited from using any external force to participate in this competition, including but not limited to: body modification, magic infusion, alchemy products, magic potions, etc.
If the contestant has mastered various skills such as props manufacturing and potion brewing, the manufactured products can be used in this competition, but they cannot be assisted by any power other than themselves. Verifiers of the Mantra Vow will cancel their quota for this competition.
The casting medium of the contestant, including but not limited to: magic wand, stave, resonance stone, etc., the real ownership must be held by himself, rather than any transfer, lease, temporary acquisition, etc. If the casting medium needs to be changed due to damage, damage or other reasons after signing the contract of this rule, it needs to be confirmed by secondary verification. '
This first rule, which occupies almost one-third of the front page, directly cuts off any sense of external cheating. Except for unlimited knowledge, the use of other auxiliary tools is prohibited.
There are actually not many powerful spell-casting mediums like the Elder Wand. Perhaps the amplification effect is not as strong as the Elder Wand, but there are actually many things that are more powerful than the magic medium used by most wizards.
The spell-casting medium is equivalent to a wizard's lever. In addition to the bonuses brought about by fit and familiarity, the material of the spell-casting medium itself is also very important.
If an ordinary magic wand can be pried with a multiplier of ten, after using it for a long time, there is a tacit understanding, and the wand is very suitable for you, then the multiplier may become twenty, thirty, forty or even higher, but if the old wand In other words, the base multiplier is one hundred, and it can be seventy or eighty if you borrow it temporarily.
Although borrowing an artifact does not 100% mean that you can crush, but there is no problem with being superior to others. There is a tradition in the magic world. As long as it is not too tight, the first magic wand of the little wizard or All other casting mediums will be brand new.
The magic medium that leaves the imprint of others is not effective when used first, and it is not easy for young wizards to master. It is similar to the situation of the Weasley family: "the wand is used until it is bald and passed down". Rare, after all, it is almost a miracle in the wizarding world that a family has seven children, and wizards have always had poor fertility.
This cuts off the way for the arrogant little wizards in the family to take out the heirlooms to arm themselves, but if there is such a person who just pinches a superb spell-casting medium like the Elder Wand, then he needs to get through it A difficult novice period to master and control this treasure that will seriously slow down.
It's like a little person riding a big horse. If you force it, you have to be prepared to be thrown down countless times and keep getting up.
This is why most wizards only have one magic wand. Unless you are very talented, a normal person will capsize if they step on two boats.
The wand will truly become the extended torso of the wizard during your countless uses, not just a dead thing that doesn't move, and you need to pour your heart into it to make it stronger yourself.
The rest of the clauses are relatively standard. For example, if the opponent is dying, you can’t make up the knife intentionally, and you can’t use forbidden magic in various countries and regions, such as forbidden magic such as the Unforgivable Curse. However, there is no restriction on the use of black magic. The word itself is inaccurate, there is no black and white in magic, there are only taboos in magic.
The three unforgivable curses that touched the soul and similar spells in other countries and regions are all taboos in this type of magic.
Of course, if you are playing blood sacrifices and other evil ways in the competition field, then it is definitely not acceptable. The dance of demons is not the picture that the three finals want to show to the world.
Not long after, they read the rules and contracts one after another, and signed their names in the blank space at the end.
"Okay then, since you have agreed to these competition rules, register your magic medium now. Finally, we need to sign a magic oath to express that you are willing to follow the rules seriously. The next two months are your last chance to improve yourself , but I’m here to remind you that knowledge is the most powerful force you can bring to the competition, and the means of cheating will be eliminated.
Following the example of the open-mouthed wizard, the five of them raised their wands and tapped on the rule contract signed by themselves, and made a very simple small oath. The test of the truth oath before the game is the most important thing. The oath is just a warning to yourself.
"Then it's all over now, Headmaster Dumbledore, let's take our leave first, the students of Durmstrang are still waiting for us."
"Please go slowly, Floo Network has been opened for you, thank you for your hard work."
Dumbledore smiled and nodded at the three of them, watching them disappear in the green flames.
"Okay kids, it's not too late now, our banquet isn't over yet, why don't you go back to your seats, I'll let the kitchen add a main course, maybe you should listen to the cheers, this is You deserve it."
Dumbledore came to the front of them and made an invitation. Just as he was about to open the door for them, Harry couldn't help but speak.
"Professor, wait a minute."
"I" Harry struggled and didn't know how to speak, "I'm not dreaming, am I? I mean, I really became a Hogwarts warrior and can participate in the Triwizard Tournament?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, Harry."
Ron slapped Harry on the back, causing him to grin his teeth and let out a silent cry of pain.
"Awake?"
"But I still do."
"Then prove it to everyone, Harry, before you realize it, you have already gone farther than other students. Look at Hermione and Neville, they are very confident, aren't they?"
"But Hermione can get thirteen O's, and I know she's taught herself all the seventh grade textbooks, and even learned at least a hundred spells that I don't know at all, and she's also very strong in alchemy."
"Neville can kill the dragon hunting armor in that world, but I will still be taught to be a man by Teacher Guda. He also faced Bellatrix alone, and I couldn't even stand in front of Neville for ten seconds , within ten meters he can kill me with a single sword."
As soon as he thought of staying in a pile of monsters, Harry couldn't help but start to doubt himself. A god of learning who reads books is equivalent to eating books, and a swordsman with a will as strong as steel and superb swordsmanship. Cedric, who seems to be a normal person, can also defeat Mr. Guda. His Animagus form was once shocking and handsome.
Surrounded by such teammates, Harry's lack of self-confidence was of course obvious.
"Then prove it to everyone, except for Ron and Cedric." Dumbledore showed an apologetic expression, "Everyone is waiting for you to prove yourself."
"I'm sorry, I agreed to this matter for you on my own initiative. I told the students that tomorrow morning you will tell everyone that you have the ability to become a real warrior, not because of my favoritism or other reasons. .”
Dumbledore shrugged, "Many people are questioning that I have opened the back door for you. After all, I have been working hard for half a year and have not been selected. It is inevitable to be emotional."
"But you can all do it."
Dumbledore touched Harry's head in relief, "I saw that each of you has worked hard to become stronger during this time, and all of this has paid off. They are working hard, but you are working hard. ,Right?"
Dumbledore opened the door, and as he brought the five of them back into the auditorium, the uproar that hadn't completely subsided became even more raging at this moment.
Countless voices of discussion poured into their ears, some encouraging, some cheering, some sarcasm and ridicule. At this moment, they had a glimpse of the various aspects of life, and the mountain called pressure in their hearts became heavier and larger at this moment.
But after hearing Dumbledore's words, even Harry, who doubted his ability the most, gritted his teeth. He wanted to prove himself tomorrow and tell them that he was selected based on his own strength, not the so-called The back door and favoritism!
