Chapter 360 This Is an Advantageous Situation

From the end of one round to the beginning of the next round, there will be a 10-second pause. During these 10 seconds, the staff will complete the number of elves.

When the time is up, the identities change. The first group changes from ghosts to hunters, and the second group changes from hunters to ghosts. The players who were eliminated in the previous round are also brought back to the field by the staff within these 10 seconds.

Paul shouted in his heart that something was wrong. He had gotten too carried away chasing Joseph and had forgotten to calculate the game time.

Now it's the second group's turn to be the ghost, and he's going to be chased by Joseph in turn.

"I asked you to chase him so closely. You must regret it." Joseph, who was more than ten meters away, was about to fight back. At this time, he looked at Paul with a look on his face.

Bagman's voice came from above again, "Second round, begin!"

Sean picked up the snowball on the ground and threw it at Gundogan. Gundogan jumped into the air with a calm expression and kicked the snowball back with an upside-down golden hook. The snowball shattered into pieces in mid-air.

"As expected of being from Northern Europe, I can't afford to offend him." Sean ran away.

The strong Durmstrang players had a clear advantage in this game. Even though everyone was reluctant to use the petrification spell, which was only used four times, Durmstrang's players were able to overwhelm the others with their physical ability. One player.

At the beginning of a new round, the number of casts of the players was also reset, but this did not improve their efficiency in catching elf. There were too many competing opponents. Even if there was no ghost hunting, other groups were also an important factor in the interference.

The two bars outside the venue have begun to settle the results of the first round of betting. There are 2 in the second group, 0 in the third group, 5 in the fourth group, and 4 in the fifth group.

Some people only guessed one group, and some people cast a wide net and guessed all four groups, but the number of correct guesses was very small.

"Oh, ah, I guessed it right, the fifth group is 4." A customer stood up excitedly.

Someone else asked, "How much did you deposit?"

"2 Galleons, I should have bet more if I had known."

"That's not bad, 5 times the odds." People around said enviously.

A customer bet on four groups and won two, but the amount bet was relatively small and the return was also less.

In the back row of the VIP stands, the new advanced class professor Drane Shafiq seemed to have some opinions on this project.

"In this competition between ghosts and hunters, I think it is all in favor of Durmstrang. The amount of magic and the number of spells cast are limited. Can this bring out the students' strengths?"

Professor Sprout thought the same thing from the sidelines, "Yeah, after a five-hour game, I don't know whether I ran out of magic power or physical strength first."

The conversation between the two was overheard by Professor Demong, the bald leader of Durmstrang in the front row. He tilted his head slightly and said with a slanted face.

"The game is so comfortable, so what's the challenge? A wizard in the Middle Ages was chased by Muggles, but he couldn't run away."

It was Professor Demont and officials from the Nordic Ministry of Magic who designed this project. Bernard and officials from the French Ministry of Magic disagreed, but Demont used medieval witch hunts to explain the significance of the project.

Wizards, who are mysterious and frightening to Muggles, one day become their prey.

In the early Middle Ages, wizards did not completely hide their identities as they do now. Many wizards lived in Muggle villages and did not deliberately hide their wizarding abilities.

It seems that wizards can live peacefully in Muggle society, but the rulers at that time were absolutely wary of these aliens. Faced with the powerful mystery of wizards, the rulers were afraid that wizards would threaten their status.

One day, a wizard named Sultan in Eastern Europe discovered a metal that was not affected by magic. He told his Muggle friend Ada in the village about this discovery.

The metal glowed coldly under the moonlight, so the two named it Moon Gold.

However, within a few days, Sultan was secretly taken away in shackles by soldiers, and the handcuffs and legcuffs were made of moon gold.

In the days that followed, knights wearing moon-gold armor began to capture wizards everywhere, but the wizards found that their attacks had no effect on the knights.

The prey movement gradually spread from Eastern Europe to the entire Europe, and wizards with insufficient abilities had nowhere to hide under the iron cavalry of Moon Knight.

Wizards who mastered flight and space movement could handle it calmly at first, but unexpectedly, Muggles developed new uses for moon gold. They ground the moon gold into powder and sprinkled it in the air, which affected flight and space magic. .

Wizards were oppressed for centuries in that dark age, until a great wizard named Merlin changed the situation in the 10th century AD.

It is worth mentioning that Merlin sealed the wizard's heart in his secret chamber before leaving Hogwarts, so Sean also got a great opportunity.

However, when designing the content of the competition, Demont was talking about the world, and talked about ghosts and hunters as if it was very educational. In fact, he just wanted to take advantage of the strong physical advantages of Durmstrang students.

And Durmstrang's players did not live up to his design. Among the players who scored, Durmstrang's players accounted for the vast majority, but the rules of the game still failed to go as he wished, and in the end they changed. It became a mixed team.

Snape turned his head and glanced coldly at Demon. He didn't believe Demon's lies. The final mixed team was only reached at the strong request of Snape and Bernard.

In the field, Paul was hit by Joseph's counterattack, and Leno was furious when he saw the fork on the map.

Since the rules only state that after being caught by a ghost, you must be banned from moving for 15 minutes, and there is no prohibition on talking or moving the map.

Members of other groups may mark the area on the map to alert teammates when they see traces of ghosts, but Leno requires that only if caught by a ghost can a cross be drawn on the map.

"That guy is really useless. He was caught right from the beginning." Leno had no intention of rescuing him.

When they were ghosts, Chris and Cedric were unstoppable. Now that they were hunters, they immediately fell into an extremely passive situation.

"Are you still crazy? In the last round, I asked you to be merciful and chase with all your might!" Lucas, who was in the fourth group in the last round, was chased by Cedric, which led to his encounter with Sean and his arrest.

Now that Cedric is also a hunter, Lucas not only snatches an elf from his hands, but also casts a petrifying spell on him and yells to try to get the ghost to notice.

"I'm not just targeting you." Cedric said helplessly. Being a ghost naturally wants to catch as many hunters as possible.

In the last round, Sean found a backup to escape from the ghost hand. This round, unfortunately, he met his old rival, Watson Green.

"Hey, hey, Watson, wait a minute, wait a minute." Sean ran as fast as he could, and there was a hunting box in front of him.

Sean's magic eye has no room to play in this competition. Watson seems introverted and doesn't talk much, but he can really run.

"Got you," Watson said.

Sean's shoulder blades turned bright yellow, and he felt a numbness on his back. He knew he had been hit and stopped immediately.

After looking at his hand and then at the hunting box a step away, Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I put it in."

In the last step, Sean threw the elf directly towards the movable opening of the hunting box. The elf hit the movable board and fell into the box. The fifth group scored another point.

"The third group, Marton, is out this round." Twenty minutes into the second round, someone was finally out.

"I'm sorry." Ogudo said to himself as he sent Marton out.
