Chapter 556 The Second Project

It is not known where the news leaked from, or whether they were cracked by others themselves, but the two students from other schools have learned the content of the second project. After all, who would jump into the Black Lake in the winter without a special reason.

Of course, there are winter swimming enthusiasts in this world. But winter swimming enthusiasts will not even take off their clothes, wrap themselves with bubbles created by magic, and then sink directly into the lake.

It is obvious that they are familiar with the venue of the second test. Outside the competition, the fishmen in the lake have an agreement with Hogwarts and will not attack wizards. The two can swagger to the bottom of the lake to visit the fishman village.

Li Zhuoguang certainly has no interest in paying attention to the two weak chickens. These things were told to Li Zhuoguang by Malfoy. Malfoy saw the two warriors from other schools walking out the door after breakfast, and watched them walk out the door with a vicious look.

Malfoy turned around: "Boss, why don't you take advantage of them sneaking into the Black Lake and give them a hard blow, preferably the kind that can make them withdraw from the competition."

Li Zhuoguang shook his head: "No need."

Malfoy suddenly realized: "I understand, boss, you want to give them a hard blow during the competition."

Li Zhuoguang held his forehead and sighed: "Why don't you understand? I am almost just going through the motions in this competition. I never thought about signing up from the beginning, and now I just want to finish the competition quickly. As for who the champion is, it doesn't matter to me at all."

Malfoy looked at Li Zhuoguang pitifully: "But, this is the champion of the Triwizard Tournament after all."

"Do you know what great achievements the champions of the previous Triwizard Tournament made later?"

"Uh... I'm not sure. The Triwizard Tournament has been suspended for two hundred years. I have to go home and check."

"If those brave champions eventually become great wizards, then the title of the Triwizard Tournament champion is not worth mentioning to them. After all, you have been thinking for so long and can't think of one. If the champion does not become a great wizard, then this championship is nothing more than that."

Malfoy nodded, not quite understanding: "It seems like this."

"So, the champion of the Triwizard Tournament is not important. If the result of this competition is relatively successful, then according to the ceremony, it will be held again in five years. If you are interested at that time..."

"Hey! Scarhead!" Malfoy didn't hear what Li Zhuoguang was saying at all, because Harry passed by. Malfoy only saw his chest puffed up, showing off the Potter Stinky Shit badge on his chest.

Well, Li Zhuoguang felt that maybe the Triwizard Tournament was not as important to Malfoy as picking on Harry. After all, after Harry completed the first project, Malfoy was the only one who still wore the badge in the entire Hogwarts.

Harry heard Malfoy's shouting, but he nodded at Malfoy and left, causing Malfoy to shut up in boredom.

After talking with Li Zhuoguang, Harry tried to see deeper things through the surface. In his opinion, Malfoy didn't have much malice, but was a little... childish.

Snape has not been at peace these days.

"Potter, is there a troll's brain in your head? Why didn't you stir it thoroughly before turning off the fire?!"

"I'm sorry, professor." Harry apologized honestly. After all, he was not stupid and could see Snape's intention.

"Gryffindor will deduct 3 points for your stupid mistake. If you don't brew the underwater breathing potion today, don't even think about leaving get out of class."

"Okay, professor."

Today we are teaching the underwater breathing potion that allows you to breathe underwater without hindrance. The day before yesterday we were teaching the warming ointment that allows you to stand naked in the snow and ice as long as you apply it on the body surface. The next step is the cat's eye potion that allows you to see in the dark.

After this class, Harry will have the capital to move underwater. And the best thing is that there will be no obvious external manifestations when using these potions, so they can be used before the game.

Harry is kind-hearted. Anyway, he brews potions with the raw materials provided by Snape, so he tries to prepare more every time and take one more bottle away.

Then he entrusted Malfoy to give it to Li Zhuoguang. Because it was related to Li Zhuoguang, even if Malfoy and Harry didn't get along, he could only take the bottle with disgust and put it on the head of Li Zhuoguang's bed.

Although Li Zhuoguang couldn't use these potions, he still accepted them. After all, it was the other party's good intention, and these raw materials were all given by Li Zhuoguang to Snape. Now they just returned to his hands in a different way.

On the day before the game, Pojun found Li Zhuoguang: "Brother Li, they wanted to knock me out and put me in the water for you to find, but I didn't agree."

Li Zhuoguang nodded: "You did a good job. You can't let yourself lose consciousness at any time. This is very dangerous."

Li Zhuoguang thought about it and asked again: "If you don't agree, who did they let hypnotize?"

Pojun shook his head: "Then I left, I'm not sure."

Li Zhuoguang looked around and found that Malfoy was gone. Damn!

Early in the morning, everyone came to the side of the Black Lake, where the stands had been built. It happened to be cloudy, and the cold wind blew across the Black Lake and went straight into people's clothes. The teachers and students in the stands wrapped their clothes tightly, but they still felt cold.

Andrew and Lucia were ready, both wearing Muggle one-piece swimsuits. Harry was similar, wearing a pair of swimming trunks. He stood naked in the winter wind, not shivering at all. It seemed that the ointment he made himself worked.

As for Li Zhuoguang, he was still wearing his daily robes as in the first project, and he looked unprepared. But those who had seen his previous performance knew that he would definitely pass the second project.

Ludo Bagman had come to the warriors and told them to line up on the shore: "Listen, everyone, our warriors are in place. As soon as I blow the whistle, the second project will begin. They have a full hour to take back the treasure that was robbed from them. I count to three. One... two... three!"

A sharp whistle sounded, and cheers and applause broke out in the stands. The warriors rushed to jump into the black lake. However, Li Zhuoguang remained on the shore.

Because the scene in the water could not be seen, the audience focused their attention on him, but they only saw him looking at the surface of the Black Lake expressionlessly, wondering what he was thinking.

Li Zhuoguang's circle had quietly unfolded, and with his current mental capacity, he easily explored the bottom of the lake. Sure enough, four students were tied up with ropes and placed in a place similar to a square.

Li Zhuoguang did not know the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, but the two from Hogwarts were Hermione and Malfoy. Damn, when did Malfoy become his baby.

Li Zhuoguang pouted his lips in disdain, stretched out his finger, and pointed it at the lake. A tiny ripple spread on the lake, and soon, the rope that entangled Malfoy was cut off.

Then he seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and floated towards the lake. Many fishmen who were guarding the hostages wanted to stop him, but Malfoy had a repulsive force, and they would be pushed away as soon as they approached.

All he could do was watch him drift further and further away.

Harry was an honest kid after all. He had never thought of scouting out the spots before the game and was still looking for a way out. Suddenly, with his eyesight enhanced by the cat's eye mixture, he saw a platinum light in the distance approaching him rapidly.

Harry quickly pulled out the wand pinned to his swimming trunks and was on guard nervously, but as the light approached, Harry realized that it was not a light, but just a reflection of the faint light from the bottom of the lake, and he always felt that he had seen the same color number somewhere.

When the unidentified object approached, Harry finally saw what it was. He stared blankly at the unconscious Malfoy, who passed by him quickly and then continued to drift to the surface of the lake.

There was only one question in his mind: How did Li Zhuoguang bribe Black Lake?
