Chapter 1399 ? Competition
From 776 BC to 388 BC, the founder of the ancient Olympic Games and the ruler of Peloponnese, Iphitus, worked hard to integrate religion and sports. He not only innovated religious ceremonies, but also organized large-scale sports competitions, and decided to hold them every four years. There were only three countries participating in the first ancient Olympic Games - Peloponnese, Easley, and Sparta. (Author's Note: This is still a three, plus once every four years is still a seven.)
And this kind of Olympic Games was originally a supreme event held by ancient Greek Muggles in the name of Zeus, the main god they worshiped. In the hearts of ancient Greek Muggles, Zeus was "the father of humans and gods." Therefore, the Olympic Games in ancient Greece were not only sports competitions, but also mixed with some cultural, economic and political activities. On the whole, the Olympic movement is seen as a symbol of masculine strength, they show the infinite physical strength, skill and beauty of human beings.
This undoubtedly also impressed on the competitive desire of the local Greek wizards.
In addition to the duel competition venue that is currently being built after passing through the corridor, you can only see a part of the magnificent golden wall around the venue when you look up. In this area belonging to the wizards, you can also see the ancient buildings that were previously built for other competitions. Arena——Different from the pure bloody violence between ancient Roman Muggles and wizards, Greek wizards, like their Muggles, obviously paid more attention to the more specific use of magic power, some similar to the apparition continuous fixed-point competition Ancient events such as speed races, levitation spell weightlifting competitions, and throwing the alchemical item Greek Fire inspired Alan's educator side a lot.
And as Milt Sakakis said, apart from them, players from many countries brought their families to the scene ahead of time to check the configuration of the tea soup duel venue. There are even several wizarding schools that organize tours here.
Of course, not all academies come because of students participating in the duel competition, like Waggadu, they also come for the potion championship. Although the champion of this competition has basically been determined by default, and even the competition itself is held to please Harris, this does not prevent Alan, who wants to win this honor, at least sending a clone to deal with the competition, and come up with Order a live demonstration of the real potion formula and explain it.
The wizards of Durmstrang have taken off their heavy cloaks, and their uniforms are also conspicuous because they stand like an army. The luxurious jewelry on Karkaroff's body is dazzling in the dazzling sun. , He walked in the front with his head held high, proudly explaining to the students that the dueling field itself was inspired by President Alan Harris from Destron.
Madame Maxime, because of her tall stature, her figure made her stand out among the tourists. She seemed to be very afraid of the heat, holding a silk fan in her hand, fanning it non-stop, and wearing a large sunshade curtain hat on her head. Behind her were several witches in Beauxbatons' uniform - and even a half-giant professor belonging to Hogwarts' Care of Fantastic Beasts class.
The stairs leading to the arena are ancient and huge stone steps, which are not smooth, but they can ensure that the audience can walk steadily.
Harris climbed up the stairs,
Go straight to the box on the top floor, which is located at the highest point of the arena. There are dozens of blue and bronze chairs with sea wave patterns drawn here, divided into two rows. Obviously, as the host, Greece has completely investigated Harry. Smith's preferences -- especially Alan Harris's.
Overlooking the entire arena, you will find that it is an oval-shaped building with a large central flat as the duel area. sexual roof. But in fact, when there is a thunderstorm, because there is also a Muggle gathering place nearby, the wizard will activate the magic device, and a transparent protective cover will be raised in the sky to cover the entire arena, and no violent changes have been taken. The weather itself left Muggles scratching their heads.
"As far as the building as a whole is concerned, this place has basically been built. In fact, because of the bonus of magic, the construction speed is very fast." Stefanos Miltsakakis ignored the others and took Alan and the others Entering the duel venue, he seemed a little embarrassed by the unfinished state. He stretched out his arm and pointed to the wizards who were waving their wands and carving magic patterns on the auditorium and the venue, explaining the reason, "After all, it is also the first time we have held a duel. A duel competition of this scale is different from the traditional one-on-one...with the power of your spell, Principal Alan Harris...cough...we have started emergency reinforcement work again." Milt Sakakis coughed dryly A sound changed the lines, "Out of the attitude of being responsible for the personal safety of the audience, our staff of the Greek Ministry of Magic treat the casting of each spell with the most cautious attitude, not just casting it once, but repeating the full coverage of multiple people, Don't miss a single corner...so there is some delay, but now it's the last time to cast the defensive spell, and it's no problem to finish everything before the game starts."
"It's a commendable attitude, which allows me to see the rigor of the wizards in my hometown..." Owen nodded, understanding that this was the other party's explanation and flattery. It was Allen who had just burned a Muggle city recently, which frightened them, the Greek wizards... and began to arrange some extra defensive measures in the dueling field that had already been built.
Those staff members are still busy preparing for the arrival of the duel competition, everything here is shrouded in a mysterious golden light, this light seems to come from the duel arena itself. Almost at eye level was a huge blackboard on which golden words kept flashing, as if an invisible giant hand were scribbling and then erasing them. Those flashing texts are advertisements for the spectators in the arena. Umbrella never misses such a thing to promote himself, especially in the case of recent damage to his reputation, he also bet on advertisements.
In fact, the venue here itself, except for the larger auditorium, it can be seen that the Greek Ministry of Magic has basically copied the setting of the melee duel field in Hogwarts Floating City, and there are many kinds of obstacles available for the contestants Diverse——The defensive measures repeatedly reinforced by Greece are actually not as sophisticated as Hogwarts’s, basically relying on constant piles regardless of cost, and a circle of stone walls being built under the audience seats The wizard is using ancient spells to seal the runes, and the constant effects on them are similar to the curse of the end of all curses, which are some common universal anti-spells. It seems that this is an additional measure arranged to prevent Allen from making a big noise.
"The seats here are very sufficient, which fully meet the requirements of the organizing committee. We carefully designed to ensure that the seats are spacious and comfortable enough. Even if a giant comes here, there is a suitable place for him." Mr. Milt Sakakis said proudly Said, "Since the Ministry of Magic received the task of holding the duel competition here, we have also hired some wizards who participated in the construction of your school's duel field. Not counting the interior decoration and layout spells, the total man-hours are counted... let We have been busy like Muggles repairing things for more than three months... Of course, it is a pity, if it can rise into the air like the Hogwarts space layer, it must be more spectacular, and there is no need to bother about every inch Everyone has cast the Repelling Muggle Charm."
"The issue of the floating city, I think Greece, as an ancient country of magic, should have its own floating city earlier." Allen was a little annoyed by the other party's thoughts and hints. He turned his head and glanced at the girl who was fighting against Wednesday. Mother, "Luna, you and Helena will rest here."
Milt Sarkakis got the promise and complimented him with a smile on his face, and he also understood that he probably annoyed the young people all the way just now—although this in itself was more or less the effect he wanted to achieve.
The light blond girl didn't take her attention away from the hanging daughter, she just nodded to show that she would take care of the safety issues in this private room, and the venue below which can be seen at a glance is not too much for the two of them. How far a person is away is enough time to cope with the possible arrival of death.
