Hogwarts Survival Sim

Hearing Ethan's call, Hermione and Lockhart both hurriedly approached, and then they saw a slightly crude pattern drawn on the book in Ethan's hand, which looked like a goblet.

"What is this, Ethan?" Lockhart asked confused. "Is there anything special about this cup?"

"Is there a story recorded under the pattern?" Hermione, who also knew some Latin, paid more attention to the content of the text, "But I can only understand the general meaning."

Then she raised her head and looked at Ethan, waiting for his explanation.

"It's more of a record than a story." Ethan faced them and began to tell. "This incident happened in William's village. After overthrowing the church and the village chief's family, William quickly obtained He gained everyone's support and moved to another place with the people in the village."

"However, William did not intend to continue to be the leader of everyone. He was more interested in studying magic and alchemy, so he asked the villagers to voluntarily elect a village chief to handle various affairs in the village. "

"But a problem arises. Everyone in the village has their own relatives and friends. No one who serves as the village leader can convince the crowd like William. The villagers eventually divided into several major factions, and some unpleasant things happened between them. .”

"In the end, they found William and asked him to think of a solution. Then William made such an alchemy tool. As long as everyone who wanted to be the village chief wrote their name and faction on paper and put it into a cup, the cup would automatically A representative is elected from each faction, and these representatives compete in a final contest.”

"Wait a minute, Ethan." Lockhart suddenly interrupted him, "Why does the purpose of this thing feel so familiar to me? It's like I've heard it somewhere."

"That's right, because this kind of thing has been passed down to this day and is still working. As for its name..."

"Goblet of Fire!" Lockhart almost jumped with excitement. "It's unbelievable. William invented the Goblet of Fire! Merlin's socks. I feel like this experience is more exciting than all my previous lives! "

"Please wait a moment," Hermione raised her hand curiously, "Can anyone explain to me what the Goblet of Fire is?"

"Are you kidding, Hermione?" Lockhart stared at her in shock, "How could you not know about the Goblet of Fire? You should know about the Triwizard Tournament, right?"

Seeing Hermione shaking her head again, Lockhart didn't know what to say.

After adjusting his mood and thoughts, he began to explain:

"Well, this event may indeed be too far away for you, after all, it was last held a century ago. And the reason why I know about it is because when I was in school looking for ways to become famous, there was a The headmaster of Ravenclaw introduced it to me."

"The Triwizard Tournament, founded about 700 years ago, is a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe. The three schools are: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. .Each school selects a warrior, and then the three warriors compete in three magic projects."

"The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it. Everyone agrees that this is an excellent way for young wizards from different countries to establish friendship - but later, there were too many deaths, and the Triwizard Tournament The game was interrupted."

"Death count?" Hermione looked at Professor Lockhart in shock, "Why did someone die?"

"Because some projects are too dangerous. In fact, among the people who died, more wizards were responsible for rescue and support, while the students were safer."

"But even so, it is definitely a great honor to be selected as a warrior to represent the school in the competition. And if you can win the championship, it will be something you can brag about for a lifetime."

"So that's it." Hermione pinched her chin and said, "So, the Goblet of Fire is used to select warriors from three schools?"

"That's right, although we didn't have the chance to participate in the Triwizard Tournament." Professor Lockhart couldn't help but sigh, "But we actually found the maker of the Goblet of Fire. This is a testimony in another sense."

"I don't think it's that simple." The keen Miss Granger narrowed her eyes and looked at Ethan, who was still reading attentively. "I remember someone just said that he wanted to make a big splash."

"Ahem," Ethan coughed, "According to the reliable information I received, the Triwizard Tournament will be held again next year, and the venue will be Hogwarts."

"What?" Professor Lockhart jumped up again, "Are you telling the truth?"

"That's absolutely true, Professor."

"It's a pity that I am no longer qualified to participate!" The man who valued the Triwizard Tournament very much bit his lip, and then said, "Ethan, you must participate. With your strength, you can definitely help Huo Huo Gwartz won the championship."

"I'm sorry, Professor." Ethan understood Lockhart's mood. This was probably one of his dreams when he was a student. "But I have no intention of competing."

He didn't want to get involved in Voldemort's conspiracy at that time, and letting Voldemort take Harry's blood would actually give Harry the best amulet. Ethan had no intention of changing this.

And it would be much better to use the trick and find a way to expose Lao Fu again than to do things in the dark.As long as there are enough people to witness it, there is no point in the Ministry of Magic pretending to be stupid.Then there will be no need to hold back as hard as you can.

In addition, there is another reason for Ethan to give up.

"Because according to the records in this book, when William made the Goblet of Fire, he left a backdoor that allowed him to control the notes spit out of the Goblet of Fire in some way. And he also recorded this method. It’s up here.”

Hearing this, both Hermione and Lockhart looked at him in shock.

"In other words, we can now decide who the champion of each school is." Lockhart murmured.

"But that's cheating, isn't it?" Hermione couldn't accept it. "The choice of the Goblet of Fire has its own reasons. We can't..."

"Calm down, Hermione, I want to do something more interesting." Ethan smiled like a child who found a toy, "You think, if the Goblet of Fire spits out a competition item at the right time, and rules, will the Ministry of Magic follow the above?"

"..." No one spoke, they were obviously frightened by Ethan's thoughts.

"So this is the best application of the painted world, isn't it? A wonderful game without death, I can't wait to start planning it."

That’s right, how can being a question answerer be as interesting as being a question maker?
