Chinese students at Hogwarts.

"Atlantic?"

Zhang Xiao walked to the edge of the porthole with some surprise. Through the circular window, he saw the deep blue sea outside.

So fast? It's at least a few hundred kilometers bigger, right? Already close to Spain!

The other warriors reacted similarly to him. They shouted in their own familiar languages ​​and rushed to the windows to look outside.

"Back off!"

Dumbledore's voice suddenly sounded, and then everyone felt a gentle force pushing them back.

"That's not possible now. We still need to make some small arrangements."

Dumbledore smiled, raised his wand and waved it widely in the air. Under everyone's shocked eyes, the huge sailing ship suddenly made a creaking sound.

With violent shaking, the entire ship unfolded like a base vehicle in Red Alert.

The bulkheads of the cabin opened to both sides, the round portholes gradually shrank and were covered by the deck, and the original tables, chairs and benches retracted.

Brand new chairs and tables grew out, and the room was also changing. The little wizards looked at the scene in front of them in shock.

This is the power of magic!

When everything calmed down, the huge sailboat had disappeared and was replaced by a platform covering an area about half the size of a football field.

On the side near the sea, nine cabins are neatly arranged. In the center of the platform are some buildings that were originally on the ship, and many people are pouring out of them.

They happily sat on the newly popped up seats. These must be the lucky ones who got the tickets.

The tall curtain has risen, and Ludo Bagman, the first-round commentator, is sitting on the commentary table with a few people on the side, busy preparing something.

Zhang Xiao stood on the platform, looking at the endless sea.

The Atlantic Ocean in February is quiet and deep.

The breeze blows, and the sea surface has layers of fine waves, gently undulating like silk.

The weather here is much better than in the UK. The sun penetrates the clouds and casts mottled golden light, reflecting the blue of the sea water, like a treasure box inlaid with countless gems.

"Okay, everyone gather here!"

Dumbledore said loudly, and the little wizards stopped their chattering discussions and slowly gathered in front of him.

"The second round of competition is about to begin. I think the warriors from each school have cracked the golden egg and know the content of the competition."

His eyes, as deep as the Atlantic Ocean not far away, looked at the warriors below with a smile, as if he had already seen everything.

Many warriors only felt their cheeks feel hot and did not even dare to look directly into Dumbledore's eyes. After all, they were young people and were relatively thin-skinned, so they were embarrassed.

Many people could only lower their heads and pretend to be thinking about something, missing Dumbledore's sight, and murmuring in agreement.

Dumbledore didn't pay attention to the strange behavior of the warriors below. There were not many things that could make him care about it now.

He continued: "150 years ago, several adventurous wizards decided to go to the ocean where wizards rarely set foot. They relied on their superb magic and rich knowledge to wander in the ocean.

Although the sea is so vast, and they cannot go very deep.

But these exploratory wizards still discovered many interesting things. "

Everyone listened carefully as Dumbledore talked about things that seemed to have nothing to do with the game.

This should be the background story of the ruins below?

Zhang Xiao was doing two things at once, thinking silently.

"Here they are, making an unprecedented discovery - a ruins obscured by magic."

Dumbledore waved his wand again, and a huge projection of ruins appeared in the sky. The warriors could no longer care about the embarrassment in their hearts.

Keeping an eye on the huge ruins in the sky, this is the place they will explore later.

“These wizards used many methods and experienced great dangers and hardships to finally enter the ruins.

And a surprising secret was discovered inside——"

Dumbledore winked at the little wizards and said happily:

"Of course, I won't tell you. In short, the discoveries here shocked the entire wizarding world, but none of this has been made public.

Time will eventually dilute everything. More than a hundred years have passed, and this amazing ruin has fallen into peace again.

Therefore, the goal of the second round is to imitate the wizards of the past, explore this ruins through your wisdom, and accomplish your goals.

Because the original protective magic of the ruins has been broken, I redecorated the entire ruins.

Here is a small piece of advice. When I visited this ruins, I found that it is not as safe as you think.

Over a long period of time, some little ones have settled in it. "

The warriors became more and more nervous. Dumbledore's words almost clearly meant that there were monsters inside. Their faces were pale, although they had already known the next round's target through golden eggs and some 'small means'.

But when they actually stood on the ocean and were about to enter the sea soon, the nervousness that made their stomachs twitch still stimulated their bodies.

Dumbledore finished introducing the background and began to explain the rules this time.

“Because the difficulty of this round is quite high, the substitutes will be directly involved in the actions of the players this time, that is, in groups of six.

Coupled with the suggestions from the principals, the contestants can choose to declare the magic props they plan to bring later.

After discussion by the competition’s principal review committee, common types of magic props can be brought, but those that fail to pass the discussion will not be allowed. "

His calm eyes stayed on Zhang Xiao for a short while, and the meaning was self-evident.

Zhang Xiao only found it very funny. Who did the other principals do this for?

Isn't it just for yourself?

What does it mean that 'common types of magic props' can be carried? Doesn't it mean that my things are not considered common?

Haha, it’s an old tradition.

So Dumbledore is good at everything, but there is only one thing. Once the majority reaches a certain resolution, even if the resolution is unreasonable, Dumbledore will rarely oppose it.

Dumbledore finally looked away. He paused, nodded gently, and said to the young wizards:

"You will have half an hour to prepare. The preparation room is over there. I wish you good luck."

He pointed at the nine wooden houses on the edge of the entire platform. Each wooden house had a conspicuous college flag, so it was impossible to go wrong.

The warriors pursed their lips, discussed something in a low voice, and dispersed towards their respective cabins.

After an extremely exciting first round of competition, the Super Goblet of Fire became increasingly popular.

Many wizards who were originally not very interested were also attracted by the lively scene after the first round, coupled with the British Ministry of Magic's sparing no effort in publicity.

The Daily Prophet and other media outlets were touting it as the most exciting game in history, a game worth watching once in a lifetime.
