Chapter 682 The 176th Match

The game ended smoothly. Under Dumbledore's "deliberate" guidance, everyone paid attention to Harry Potter, who rescued the two hostages like a hero, and basically no one on Ethan's side cared.

Scatha, Illya and even Tohsaka Rin all knew that he was mainly protecting Harry this time, and the so-called game was just for fun, so it was no surprise that Ethan deliberately released water.

Ethan took a towel casually, wiped his hair, and waited calmly for Dumbledore to announce the result.

In the second round of the Triwizard Tournament, the winner was Harry Potter who brought back the two hostages. Although he was almost stuck in time and came back at the last minute before the end, the one who rescued the two hostages His heroic actions won him a lot of extra 'bonus points', and he was directly judged as the first place.

The second place went to Victor, who rescued his classmate early. Originally, his performance in the competition was enough to win the first place and recover the disadvantage of the first competition. Unexpectedly, this guy Harry Potter overwhelmed himself for no reason. , so Victor's mood after this game is still not very good, his face is almost the same as after the last round of the game.

The third place was Ethan who came back just a little earlier than Harry Potter before the time was about to end. Rescue more hostages like Leigh Porter.

He just brought Hermione back in a regular manner—only Hermione knew that Ethan had been hiding underwater for more than half an hour. If he wanted, he could have rescued himself immediately after the game started, or even All four hostages can be rescued, so that the other three players cannot complete the game.

It's a pity that Ethan's purpose of participating in the competition was not to win, and he didn't need to be crazy about showing off.

After completing this competition, the Triwizard Tournament will enter the final stage. The final game is to determine the starting order based on the first two games, and then find the winning trophy in the maze.

Whoever finds it first wins the Triwizard Tournament.

"Before this game, do you have to make some preparations?"

The later the matter progressed, the more Dumbledore paid more attention to it. He didn't want any accidents at this time, so Ethan had to talk to Dumbledore frequently.

"The guy who pretends to be Moody, you should have been watching him?"

"Yes, Snape has been watching that guy's movements to prevent him from doing anything."

This is the difference from the original plot, because Snape is always staring at the fake Moody, which makes Barty Crouch, Jr. pretending to be Moody, not have much chance to get in touch with his father Barty Crouch. Rauch.

In this way, the tragic ending that Barty Crouch recognized Barty Crouch Jr.'s habitual movements, realized his true face, and was killed by his own son was avoided.

"After the third game starts, do you do it immediately?"

"Or do it after the game is over?"

"why?"

"Someone needs to send a message to the Dark Lord to tell the wizarding world that he is back."

Dumbledore nodded. If Barty Crouch Jr. was under control in advance, knowing that something went wrong in the game, it would be too strange if the professors didn't react, so it's better to wait until the game is over, Harry- After Potter brought back the news of Voldemort's resurrection, it was more 'logical' to grab Barty Crouch Jr. by hand.

"Also, I've thought about how I should exit."

"Oh?" Dumbledore immediately understood Ethan's meaning: "You want to..."

"Yes."

If he comes to this world again, he should no longer look like a child, let alone use the false surname Arendelle.

"It's quite dramatic for this identity to exit like this."

Didn't the Dark Lord want to make a gorgeous debut? Ethan can satisfy him! Originally, the death of Cedric Diggory announced the return of the Dark Lord (although it was not killed by Voldemort), this time it should be replaced by Ethan's name.

Considering what the Ministry of Magic Minister Fudge, who refused to face the reality, might do, Ethan was going to bring in more witnesses this time.

Victor Krum, Fleur Delacour, and Harry Potter, the three most influential wizarding schools in Europe, the representatives of the new generation all claim to have seen Voldemort. If the news is suppressed, there will be more problems.

"Fudge will definitely use all means to suppress this kind of news. Are you ready?"

Dumbledore knew that Fudge was not actually a bad guy, nor was he Voldemort's subordinate. It's just that he was too obsessed with power, which made him unable to make a correct judgment. Now that he was reminded by Ethan, he also made various arrangements for this situation.

"As long as you are prepared, remember not to let those guys affect Hogwarts. I let Leah, Tohsaka Rin, and Ilya stay to let them experience a peaceful college life, not to be bullied by a group of idiots .”

"Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen."

At that moment, Dumbledore suddenly felt amazing pressure from Ethan, and at that moment he really experienced what Fox had experienced.

If it was just doubts and speculations but not sure of Ethan's true identity before, although he still can't confirm Ethan's identity now, his 'inhuman' identity has been confirmed.

Although Dumbledore's strength is good and he is a famous genius wizard in the magic world, he has not yet separated from his human identity, and the two sides are not at the same level at all.

Ethan wasn't threatening Dumbledore, he just made Dumbledore take his words seriously.

After Dumbledore agreed, he took an amulet and handed it over: "Although I know that you will definitely do your best to fulfill your promise, I can also guess that you will sacrifice yourself very simply when necessary." .”

"this is……?"

"When necessary, activate the above spell, which can instantly restore you to the healthiest state!"

For this kind of old mage with rich experience, there are many things that don't need to be explained too clearly. Dumbledore immediately realized the value of this thing, and carrying this is equivalent to an extra life.

He was thinking that maybe this thing should be handed over to someone more important? It doesn't matter if I sacrifice my old life.

As if seeing through Dumbledore's thoughts, Ethan then took out a large handful of identical pendants, and silently placed them in front of Dumbledore.

"You can assign according to the situation."

"..."

This is equivalent to the tuition, book fees, and various fees that Ethan paid in advance for the three girls, Ilya, Leah, and Tohsaka Rin, including pocket money.

Of course Dumbledore understood this, but he really couldn't refuse a prop of this level.

With this kind of props, they will undoubtedly win the fight against Voldemort or the "pure-blood" wizards this time.

This is what Ethan hopes, the sooner those 'pure-bloods' are knocked down, the calmer Hogwarts or the entire Harry Potter world will be. Only such a peaceful world is what he wants Illya and the others to stay in. magic world.

As for the more dangerous world? If he wanted a few little girls to receive practical training, he could send them to other worlds. He chose this place for Hogwarts.

After this conversation, Ethan didn't meet with Dumbledore again, quietly waiting for the final match.

After this match, his life at Hogwarts would come to an end, not even the end of the term, since he was ostensibly killed by Voldemort anyway...

Standing at the entrance of the maze in the third match, Ethan moved his neck lightly. This match was also not difficult. The only trouble was to guide several contestants to the trophy.

In order to do this, Ethan spent a lot of energy. First, he had to wake up the controlled Victor, and then use illusion and some tricks to control plants to force Furong and Victor to keep going. near where the trophy is located.

It's the same with Harry. In order to ensure that his "operation" will not go wrong, Ethan must know the situation of the entire maze like the back of his hand, just like opening the "God's perspective" to ensure that everything that happens in the maze is under his control middle.

His mental power is strong enough now, and this maze is made of plants with vigorous vitality. He can determine the overall situation of the maze through the distribution of natural forces, and then determine the positions of the other three people through the spiritual imprint secretly released before departure.

In addition, he kept releasing confusion spells, making Moody outside think that everything was still under his control, so as to prevent him from noticing any abnormalities.

"Suddenly I found this gameplay quite interesting."

This feeling, as if everyone is under their own control, acting according to their own will, this feeling of controlling everything is really easy to get addicted to.

However, he didn't fall into this "illusory" sense of power. After a series of accidents, the three contestants found the winning trophy directly in front of them at the same time. As long as they can touch the trophy, they can get it This time the Triwizard Tournament has won.

The three people found the trophy from different directions. At this time, they hadn't found the other two people. Even so, they rushed towards the trophy at full speed with all their strength.

During this process, some branches and shallow pits would appear under the feet of the fastest Victor from time to time, making it impossible for him to really rush up, while Fleur, who was the weakest, encountered less trouble, Harry said. in between.

Through Ethan's 'exquisite control', the three rushed to the trophy almost at the same time, and at this time Ethan also used the teleportation spell to arrive in front of the trophy, and the hands of the four touched the winning trophy at the same time.
