Chapter 365 An Unprecedented Super Event!

"Super Goblet of Fire!"

Harry held his breath and was ready to stand up and cheer as soon as Dumbledore announced it, but when Dumbledore finally said the big thing he had been looking forward to for a long time.

He found that he didn't understand it at all.

Harry pulled Ron beside him with a confused look:

"What is the Goblet of Fire?"

"I don't know-but it seems very powerful." Ron was also a little confused, because too much time had passed, and even the Goblet of Fire, which was so famous, only existed in the memory of some people after the passage of time.

Unexpectedly, Fred and George seemed to know. They held their heads in shock and shouted in unison:

"Professor, are you kidding? That's the Triwizard Cup!"

Dumbledore also laughed.

"I'm not kidding, Mr. Weasley." He said, "But since you mentioned joking, I heard a very interesting joke about a troll, a female demon and a leprechaun, who all entered the same pub..."

Professor McGonagall cleared her throat loudly.

The comedy effect of this scene was much better than the joke Dumbledore was going to tell, and the hall was suddenly filled with the joyful laughter of the little wizards.

Zhang Xiao laughed particularly loudly, and he suddenly found that Dumbledore and his grandfather were really similar, both of them had the same humorous and witty personality as old children.

They didn't care about other people's opinions, and just did their best. Is this the inevitable result after reaching a certain level of cultivation?

"Oh - it's probably not appropriate to say this now... not appropriate..." Dumbledore said, "Where was I just talking about? Oh, right, the Super Goblet of Fire!"

Dumbledore opened his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"The Triwizard Tournament... I think many of you don't know what the prototype of the Super Goblet of Fire is, so I hope those who know the situation can forgive me for explaining it a little here. I allow their minds to wander for a while."

The little wizards below laughed softly again, and those who knew about the Triwizard Tournament nodded, generously indicating that they agreed with the headmaster's request.

However, they did not slack off, but listened to Dumbledore's speech more seriously. It was because they knew the importance of the Triwizard Cup that they were shocked and excited about this super fire cup that was said to include most of the world.

Dumbledore clasped his hands in front of him and said in a loud voice:

"First of all, it is the prototype event, the Triwizard Tournament, which was born more than 700 years ago.

It is a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe.

The three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, which are also very famous in Europe.

The rules are that each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magic projects. The school that wins in the end will have the right to keep the fire cup.

The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns to host it. Everyone agrees that this is a great way for young wizards from different countries to build friendships-but later, the death toll was too high, and the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted."

"Death toll?" Hermione whispered, looking around in amazement.

But most students in the hall were not as nervous as she was. Many of them were excitedly whispering to each other. Harry was also eager to hear the details of the Triwizard Tournament. He was not interested in those who died more than a hundred years ago.

"Death?" Malfoy had a similar reaction to Hermione. He opened his mouth and said, "Too many deaths caused the event to be suspended? I thought it would be suspended if there was one death."

Zhang Xiao smacked his lips. Don't you know what kind of people wizards are? They always want to die. St. Mungo's has two floors for those brave wizards who want to die.

Some people got masks, hats, etc. by chance, and they put them on with great interest, regardless of whether there were evil spells in them.

Others found very old books from stores, which recorded suspicious experiments, rituals, etc., and their reaction was, "This thing seems very interesting. I want to do it according to the book. '

In short, there is a reason why there are few wizards.

"Over the centuries, people have tried several times to restore the tournament," Dumbledore continued, "but none of them succeeded.

However, our Ministry of Magic believes that the time is ripe for another attempt.

This summer we have done a lot of work to ensure that every warrior will not be in danger of life."

The voices in the hall began to sound the noise of the little wizards, and the sound became louder and louder.

Dumbledore had to raise his voice:

"And we took advantage of the opportunity of hosting the Quidditch World Cup to successfully hold the directors' meeting of the five continents.

After many discussions and deliberations, it was confirmed by the International Confederation of Wizards that this year, we will hold a super tournament covering the whole world!

At that time, the principals of the world's major famous magic schools will lead their carefully selected participants to come, and the ceremony of selecting warriors will be held on Halloween.

An impartial referee will decide which students are most qualified to participate in this unprecedented super tournament and win honor for their school.

And the prize money is as high as-10,000 Galleons!"

"Boom!"

This sentence is like pouring a bucket of water into a boiling oil pan, and the whole hall is about to explode.

The little wizards roared and jumped down from their positions, raised their hands, and cheered loudly.

Their faces lit up with excitement at the thought of the possibility of obtaining such honor and wealth.

Malfoy celebrated particularly passionately, not realizing that he had previously thought that such a deadly event as the Goblet of Fire should be stopped.

It seems that he has been appointed as the brave man to represent Slytherin in the competition.

However, it is understandable that Malfoy does not lack ten thousand galleons, but this opportunity to show himself in front of the world and obtain the highest honor is what he has always longed for!

Zhang Xiao also stood up and said that the one who was really confirmed was the Little Heavenly Master!

At every house table, young wizards stared feverishly at Dumbledore or whispered excitedly to their neighbors.

But Dumbledore spoke again, and the auditorium became quiet again.

“Participants in the competition include:

Located in France: Beauxbatons Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry;

In Scandinavia: Durmstrang Academy;

Based in the UK: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry;

Located in Russia: Kodosdorez;

Located in Japan: Magical House;

In Uganda: Wagadu School of Magic;

Located in Brazil: Castrobusche;

In the United States: Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry;

and a school that cannot be announced for the time being. "

Every time Dumbledore mentioned the name of a school, the students became more excited. Many people didn't know that there were so many magic schools in the world.

Zhang Xiao took a breath. The school that cannot be announced for the time being should be Longhu Mountain. Is Longhu Mountain considered a school?

It doesn't count, because Dao Sect does not have such a specialized school that gathers students from the entire region to teach, but still uses the ancient master-apprentice system.

But Longhu Mountain does also undertake functions similar to Hogwarts, which is to select suitable candidates and teach them.

However, except for themselves, not many people care about this school whose name cannot be announced for the time being. They are more eager to know how to become a warrior in the school.

Fred and George stood up and shouted:

"Professor, tell me quickly, we can't wait, how to choose the warriors of each school!"

Dumbledore nodded happily:

“Of course, that’s the most important thing.

I know you all want to win the Triwizard Trophy for Hogwarts.

But after discussions between all the schools and the Ministry of Magic, we decided to make a complete change to the format to adapt to the new competition.

Many schools insist that just being a warrior cannot prove the level of the school at all. On the contrary, luck is a much bigger factor.

Although luck is a part of strength, luck does not represent the strength of the school, so——

The Ministry of Magic and participating colleges agree that they will register in teams! "

Dumbledore raised his voice slightly, because the noise made by the little wizards almost brought down the roof!

"Yes, you heard it right, we will be in teams! We will adopt a 5+1 approach!

That is, 5 regular players and 1 auxiliary staff, such as making plans and serving as substitutes!

And the most important thing is - all members are in third grade or above! "

The little wizards who were clenching their fists with longing and preparing to make a splash were suddenly stunned. They became angry, held their heads, and screamed in despair and anger.

Dumbledore's voice suddenly became stern:

"This measure is necessary because the events of the Contest are still very difficult and dangerous. No matter how many precautions we take, many things are definitely not something that little wizards below the third grade can deal with!

I will personally ensure that no student underage deceives our impartial judges into becoming a Hogwarts Champion. "

There was a serious light in his blue eyes: "Therefore, if you are not in fourth grade, I beg you not to waste your time in applying."

“Delegations from each school will arrive in October and spend most of the school year with us.

I know that you will be warm and friendly to our foreign guests during their stay here, and that you will support wholeheartedly the champion of Hogwarts once he or she is chosen.

More detailed registration rules will be posted on the notice board!

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