Chapter 231 Adding Ingredients to the Goblet of Fire

"Quiet!" The roaring version of Dumbledore appeared.

The nervous old Crouch quickly retreated behind him, like a bullied young wife.

The situation was also under control.

Basil wanted to roll his eyes. If it was his brother-in-law Dumbledore, he would definitely make a very intimidating bass cannon, calm but not to be ignored, and then use his all-seeing eyes to make everyone feel awe on the basis of shutting up.

And in front of him

It is hard not to say that the students shut up because they were scared.

It's like Mad-Eye Crouch Jr. drank another sip of Polyjuice Potion to calm down.

The Death Eater who played Moody has been showing his signature action throughout the school year - licking his mouth, baring his teeth and making saliva sounds. His acting skills and psychological quality are really not as good as the novel version.

It can only be said that in order to save time, the movie cut off a lot of clues and metaphorical plots, and can only be hinted from the actors' body language, expressions and actions.

It has to be said that the actors of Crouch Jr. and Moody have good acting skills.

But if it were converted to the real world, Basil would doubt whether Dumbledore was pretending to be blind.

Dumbledore, who pretended to be blind, was not only good at roaring.

Soon, he fed the students, whose eyes were clearly filled with dissatisfaction, a sweet treat - he tapped the Golden Tower with the osteoporosis version of the Elder Wand.

The sound of sand scratching through the metal container was heard, and the Golden Tower disappeared visibly from top to bottom.

A huge cup-shaped metal statue appeared.

The same blue gas stove-like flame as Grindelwald gushed out from the mouth of the cup.

The dissatisfaction in the students' eyes turned into curiosity.

"Goblet of Fire."

"Students who want to sign up for the tournament, please write your name on parchment."

"Throw it into the fire before this Thursday night."

"Please be careful when signing up."

"If you are selected, there is no way out."

"Because from that moment on, the Triwizard Tournament has begun."

"In order to prevent students who are not old enough from being tempted," Dumbledore raised his arm high and drew a circle, and the glittering mist poured out from the tip of the wand, surrounding the Goblet of Fire like a ring-shaped celestial body, "Age limit. Anyone under the age of seventeen cannot cross this limit."

However, this time, the junior students who wanted to participate in the competition did not explode again.

They were confident that they would stand out from all the students in the school. From the moment they heard the word "age limit", they thought of ways to disguise their age.

For example, the Weasley twins, they thought of aging potions.

And old Crouch, seeing that the students were calm.

Then he jumped out again, "Let me add a few more words here."

"Since it is a competition, there will be rewards."

"In addition to not having to take the exam, the selected warriors will also receive a cash reward of 1,000 gold galleons after winning."

"This money will be paid by the Ministry of Magic."

No one could hear the following words clearly except for people like Basil who have better hearing than ordinary people.

The auditorium became a sea of ​​joy.

Almost everyone cheered as if they had become warriors.

Ron's eyes were blurred, 1,000 gold galleons, and no exams.

Especially if he didn't have to take the exam, if he was a warrior, it would be worth it even if he failed!

There are many students like Ron.

Not having to take the exam has inspired the enthusiasm of all the poor students.

Even Harry, who doesn't like to take the initiative to show off, has a twinkling eye.

Only Hermione whispered thankfully, "Fortunately I'm not yet 17, otherwise I would have almost been unable to take the exam."

After hearing Hermione's words, Basil did not feel that she was in Versailles, being given many highlights that originally belonged to Ron and Harry. The movie version of Hermione who became popular with "Hermione and two useless men" was hard to imagine that Cedric could beat her if she was old enough.

Thinking of this, Basil suddenly thought of one thing, that his actual age was actually nearly 20 years old.

In addition to the high-speed passage of time in the passage, he had performed the [Hour Reversal Spell] experiment with his bare hands more than once.

In fact, Basil had also thought about going directly to the past a long time ago, creating a dream world, collecting more emotional energy, [Dream Fragments].

After all, the increase in age brought by time travel is just a harmless joke for him who is immortal.

But time travel in Harry's world may also have serious consequences for the world.

There is no force in Harry's world that maintains the fixed direction of time.

Heloise Mintab is a good example.

She is a silent person in the Department of Mysteries, and she used a time converter to return to the past in an experiment.

But unfortunately, she accidentally got stuck in 1402 for five days.

When she finally returned to the present, her body age increased by five centuries and was irreparably damaged, eventually dying in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

But the most shocking thing is that her travels changed the life trajectories of all the people she met in the past, and at least 25 descendants disappeared from the present and became "never born".

In addition, time itself was also affected.

The Tuesday after she returned to the present lasted for two and a half days, and Thursday only lasted for four hours.

It took a long time to return to normal.

This is why when Bajir heard that there was a surname of Suzuki among the international students, he suspected that there was Conan in the Sakura Country on the other side of the ocean.

After all, Conan's weird time was too much like a wizard who accidentally traveled to the past for too long, causing a time distortion.

This is also why Bajir has never materialized the [Staff of Time].

Why create the time rules for Kurumi to peek into this world.

Why is the [Hall of Time] the first thing that lights up when the Ministry of Magic is lit up?

Although the current time turners are restricted and cannot go back too far into the past.

But it would be terrible if one of these Silent Men, who works in the Time Chamber of the Department of Mysteries and has a deep understanding of time, suddenly wants to take revenge on society.

He didn't want some idiot's time travel to cause him to be unborn inexplicably.

However, the rules of the world are different. Regarding the time rules of this world, he gained a little bit when he created Kuang San.

Time travel in this world.

In the noisy crowd, Bagir's fingertips glowed, and countless 0s and 1s flashed in his eyes.

The [Pull of the Hole], which peeks into the basic structure of an object, 'ingests' countless information streams as the basic data for 'making a wish'.

Time and space are the definition of intelligent life. They are not simply metaphysical concepts, but are also rooted in the material universe.

Therefore, observing the substance itself is equivalent to observing time.

Building the [Dream Sea], the waste of 6 million years of spiritual treasures consumed by [Behemoth], things named [Emotions] by intelligent life began to pour into Bajir's body as the energy for 'wishes'.

Hogwarts, which was still flat a thousand years ago, the Duel Competition on Dartmoor in 1379, the sewers of Paris where Newt was imprisoned in September 1927, and the duel of the century between black and white wizards in 1945, all have a phantom appearing, observing everything. .

A second passed, and the light on his fingertips went out.

Bagir also came up with the answer.

In this world, there is no force that maintains the fixed direction of time.

But he didn't lose.

All the emotional energy that had escaped unnoticed in the past was collected by him.

After calculation, there is still profit.

He also has a better understanding of time.

At least in this world.

【the world】

The color of the world began to turn gray, and everyone's movements stopped.

Bajir stood up and walked to the Goblet of Fire.

An idea created a harsher contract, and a greater miracle was included in it, along with several names that should not be in it at all.

"How can there be only Masters in the Holy Grail War? There should be heroic spirits as well."

"Well, I have to thank Xia Mang. If it weren't for him, he might have been resurrected just by relying on his power of resurrecting the dead."

Having said this, he smiled and looked at the faces of Dumbledore, Snape, and Harry.

Maybe they desire the latter more.

Return to your original position and sit down.

‘Really, with the immortal body, eternal life, and the power to stop time, where did I come from? ’

Bajir thought like this, and time resumed its passage.

The noise returned.

No one noticed the changes in the Goblet of Fire, not even Albus Dumbledore who was close at hand.

"Quiet!" the roar sounded again.

Instead, Old Crouch was startled. His subconscious was controlled and he was now more likely to express emotions of joy and anger.

"Okay, it's getting late now, and it's very important that you walk into class tomorrow morning refreshed and clear-headed. Go to bed! Hurry!"

Although no one wanted to sleep now, the students stood up.

The auditorium was filled with rattling and pinging sounds.

The students stood up and rushed to a double door into the foyer.

Here the crowd begins to divide.

Students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang walked out the door.

Walk towards the carriage at the edge of the Forbidden Forest and the boat at the lake.

Only then did Bagir notice that the one in gymnastics clothes turned out to be a little lolita, Fleur's sister Gabrielle.

To be honest, she is more beautiful than Fleur. Maybe she is more like a Mao girl than a Frenchwoman?

But unfortunately, she was not within his hunting range.

In this world, Bajir is also ready to behave himself.

But it seems difficult.

Normally, the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students headed for the stairs, heading higher.

Hufflepuff and Slytherin went down, towards the basement.

In addition, since the number of people in the school is too small, there should be no traffic jams.

However, a large group of students stood at the top of the stairs, looking at Bagir.

There were even students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

"Hey! Bucky! Hey!" Hermione forced her way through the crowd and ran.

Behind him were Ron, who was panting, and Harry, who was holding Ginny's hand.

"Hello." Cedric, who had just been introducing Hufflepuff to Bagir, greeted him.

Hermione ignored him and focused directly on Bargeer.

In an instant, countless jealous eyes were cast towards her.

Hermione raised her head and looked back disdainfully, her body suddenly stiffening.

Because in those eyes she discovered her roommate, Sister Parvati Padma.

There was Lavender Brown, but she had a strange look in her eyes, just like Ginny before.

Obsession is mixed with hesitation.

And the hesitant look turned out to be Ron Weasley!

This surprised her.

She really couldn't imagine Lavender's reason for liking Ron.

Is it because he doesn’t take a bath or because he eats a lot?

Thinking of this, she quickly got off Bagir.

Now is not the time to indulge in gentleness. The most important thing is to deal with a potential competitor.

So Basil was surprised to find that Hermione actually said a few words to him, saying that she would take Harry and Ron away when they met again tomorrow.

Everyone else thought that it was their intimidating gaze that made Hermione retreat.

But only Basil knew that it was not the case.

He heard Hermione walk to Lavender and say, "I can introduce Ron to you."

It was really far from the truth.

How could it be like this?

This made him feel much more bored with the interesting barrels in front of him.

"It is the secret weapon of our common room that no outsider has ever entered." Cedric pointed to a pile of large wooden barrels placed on the dark stone trough and said.

Behind him was Basil, a first-year Hufflepuff student.

Originally, those students who stopped at the stairs should have followed Basil down.

But as Cedric said, these barrels were secret weapons.

So, the Hufflepuffs among the students attracted Snape, who looked evil, and scared away students from other schools and colleges.

"Our lounge is also the only common room in the college with an expulsion device to prevent illegal intruders."

"I don't think I need to explain it." Cedric smiled, "Only by knocking on the bottom of the second barrel in the middle of the second row according to the rhythm of 'Helga Hufflepuff', the lid of the barrel will rotate open, revealing the passage to the Hufflepuff lounge."

"On the contrary, if the person who wants to enter does not knock according to the correct rhythm, knocks on the wrong barrel, or knocks the wrong number of times, then the lid of another barrel will burst, and the intruder will be covered with vinegar."

The little wizards on the side began to chatter and ask questions.

"Will these barrels repair themselves automatically?"

"How is the vinegar replenished?"

"Is it a constant refilling spell?"

"Quiet." Cedric said softly in the same quietness.

But with the blessing of the Batman-like face, the noisy students all shut up one by one.

"This involves another secret."

"We ate a lot tonight, but it didn't come out of thin air."

"Actually"

When Cedric introduced the kitchen of Hogwarts, the history of Hufflepuff adopting house elves, and the magic of food, Bajir listened on the side, and on the other side, his evil body returned to the tower in the sea of ​​dreams.

Before using Xia Mang's magic to summon the dead, he needed to use the power of [Resurrection] to gain insight into the afterlife of this world.

The reason why he was able to successfully use the talent of [Salem Witch] to resurrect Ariana in a world with a different worldview and bottom layer.

It was because of the promotion of magic and emotional power, two idealistic forces.

In addition, [Salem Witch]'s [Resurrection] is also idealistic.

This is how he can forcibly ignore the differences and use it successfully.

In addition, the god of death does not regard resurrection as a taboo at all.

But if it is successfully used in a world where there is no afterlife like the underworld that receives the dead,

or the controller of the afterlife does not allow resurrection,

or in a world where there is no soul and consciousness is only brain waves,

the power consumed will probably be an astronomical figure.

Bajir is worried about the second situation.

If it is the second situation, then he can only stop time and take it away.

I hope the god of death can understand and learn from his mistakes.
