Sumatra is northwest-southeast, crossing the equator in the middle, and consists of two places, the Balisan Mountains in the west and the swamps in the east.The Muggle population density here is not high, which is especially suitable for the Ministry of Magic to cultivate some dangerous creatures here.
In order to be sure, Lily carefully checked other materials near the equator.Although there are many that match the hints obtained from Dumbledore, most of them cannot satisfy the other two principals and are related to it, and the three principals have been involved, and only one in Sumatra.Now that the target has been determined, Lily, Raventraw, and the Hufflepuff girls turned their attention to Sumatra Island, wanting to investigate the situation on the island clearly.
Sumatra Island can be described as extremely dangerous. The Balisan Mountains in the west are scattered with dragon nests, villages of natural elves and centaurs, and traces of centaurs. Inferi haunt the deep swamps.
Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, the six people who had been identified practiced a little coordination with the help of everyone in other colleges; Slytherin and Raventraw also joined forces for the first time. A magic item was thrown into Lily's backpack with the Space Expansion Charm, and there were countless different magic bullets made by improving the Sirius pistol; With the joint efforts, a detailed terrain of Sumatra was spread out in front of everyone.There are also clear labels on the possible dangers in Sumatra.
Three days have passed, and the seventh-year Hogwarts students gathered in the Gryffindor common room to exchange information again.The first to speak was the prefect of Slytherin. As a skilled Slytherin, these seventh graders got a lot of words from the professor:
"Our Slytherin people have made many inquiries from the professor, and we have basically determined that the first level must be a multiplayer task, and the possibility of forming a team of six is the greatest; in addition, regarding the region, there are quite a few The professor inadvertently revealed that the place where the Triwizard Tournament will be held is an island, and it is near the junction of the Eurasian continent, which is consistent with our speculated Sumatra Island; in the end, it is certain that the task is not simple, it involves the local More than one race. According to different professors, we speculate that the most likely number should be 'seven'. In other words, the six of you will face seven different tasks in the first level."
After saying this, the Slytherin prefect looked at the Raventraws who were sitting quietly.The prefect of Raventraw coughed lightly, and summarized the results of the wisdom of Raventraw during this period of time on behalf of Raventraw:
"If our guess is correct, you should at least need to communicate with one or more of the head-down masters, nature elves, unicorns, and centaurs. Vampires generally speak English, which can be ignored; and those who are reliable can speak phoenix Dumbledore is the only person who speaks English. So you need to prepare language translation props, which I have given to Lily before, and you can use them directly when the time comes. In addition, since the dragon belongs to the magic world Protecting creatures, your level should not involve dragon slaying, but it may involve obtaining items from dragon lairs. In addition, the corpses in the southern swamp are also the objects you need to pay attention to. If I were the principal, I would not let them go There is such a creature that allows the little wizard to cast magic at will."
This is the benefit of God teammates. With the concerted efforts of the four colleges, Li Lei suddenly felt that Steven might really win this Triwizard Tournament.Raventraw sent another stack of thick parchment to the six people who were about to leave this time, saying:
"Here is Hufflepuff responsible for sorting out and transcribing all the distributed magical creatures, herbs, and wizard strongholds on the island. We, Raventraw, have cast magic on them, so that you can quickly and easily inquire. But I I personally suggest that you skim through this book when you have time, at least to have a general impression of Sumatra Island.”
The six selected people nodded to show their understanding, and they exchanged some rumors about the Triwizard Tournament that they got from the professor, and then returned to their dormitories.
In the next four days, Steven, who had thoroughly researched most of the information, had been practicing cooperation with Li Lei and others, and the sandbags were naturally taken by the Gryffindors who never looked back.Everyone's coordination skills have also evolved from individual fighting at the beginning to the current group fighting.
And the first level of the Triwizard Tournament is just around the corner...
Today was the official start of the first stage of the Triwizard Tournament.Teachers and students from Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons gathered on the playground where Durmstrang used to hold Quidditch.Sitting on the podium were teachers from the three schools, as well as some officials from the Ministry of Magic.And in the very center of the playground, there are three round discs, and the warriors from the three major schools are walking out from the place where the teams entered.Looking at the three round discs on the field, Li Lei, Lily, James and the others who were ready looked at each other with uncontrollable excitement on their faces.
They guessed right!
Under the guidance of the teachers, the three warriors walked to the side of the disc and stood still.The Headmaster of Durmstrang cast a Megaphone Charm on himself, and the booming voice spread throughout the Quidditch field:
"quiet!"
The noisy three schools quickly quieted down. The principal of Durmstrang looked around the playground, and the voice sounded again:
"The Triwizard Tournament, which was terminated hundreds of years ago, officially returns to the schedule of our three schools starting today. But this time is different, all our teachers will do their best to protect the lives of the students, and will not let the previous Triwizards The tragedy of the Tournament happened again."
"Now, it's up to me to announce the first event—"
"In front of all the contestants, there is a disc—oh, it's not just an ordinary disc, it's a portkey."
"The first level of the Triwizard Tournament will be held on the far side of the ocean, on the Indian island of Sumatra!"
Sure enough, I guessed it right!The Hogwarts phalanx cheered, clearly excited that everyone's concerted preparations were not in vain.
"The contestants need to pass seven small tests. The tests are guarded by natural elves, centaurs, vampires, Indian native professional head-down masters, unicorns, dragons and phoenixes. What you are going to do is to learn from these seven Race got a spar and successfully activated the magic circle left by the legendary Merlin on the top of the Balisan Mountains. That will be the information for your second level. Only when you get that information will you have the opportunity to challenge the second level .”
"For the sake of fairness, the three colleges will start from three different races. Hogwarts will start with the centaurs first, Durmstrang needs to start with the head-down division first, and Beauxbaton's counterparts will start with the centaurs. They are nature elves. Of course, you will all need to complete the tasks of all races in the future, without exception."
"Is the racial information on the record, Lily?"
Li Lei frowned and listened, and suddenly said to Lily behind him.Lily nodded, and took out the stack of bound parchment.
"It's all here. Everyone in Raventlaw has made great efforts. We should not encounter a completely unfamiliar environment."
Hogwarts was calm, but in contrast, it was the phalanx of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.On the phalanxes on both sides, people were constantly flying towards the Durmstrang teaching area on broomsticks, and the obvious target was the Durmstrang Great Library.It seems that only Hogwarts has prepared the information on Sumatra?Li Lei had a dark feeling in his heart, and estimated that Steven had a greater chance of winning the first round.
"In order to cope with the large number of tests, the warriors of the first level will not fight alone. They will invite five classmates from the same school to go with them, and the partners selected by the warriors will be the key to their success."
Guessing right again, Steven turned his head and looked at the Hogwarts area in the distance.Li Lei also stood up, looked at each other silently with Steven, and smiled in agreement.Standing up at the same time, there were everyone in the original plan - Lily Evans, Severus Snape, James Potter, Sirius Black.Everyone looked at each other and laughed, and jumped off the Quidditch field respectively. When they were about to land, they each slowed down the landing speed with the Slow Fall Curse, and landed safely.
Someone from Beauxbaton's side also stood up, and a group of handsome men and women formed a beautiful landscape.They got on broomsticks and flew slowly down the auditorium, landing beside Beauxbatons warrior Abigail Alice.
The five people from Hogwarts also walked up to Steven and stood still, but at this moment Li Lei found that there was no movement from Durmstrang.
Durmstrang's warrior, Nelson Victor, was already a brown man, and his complexion was even darker now.He quickly summoned the flying broom with the Flying Charm, rode it to Durmstrang's phalanx and discussed for a while before bringing five people back to the field.
Principal Durmstrang's face was also a little uncomfortable. As the organizer, his students did not guess the topic this time.Seeing that everyone stood still, he hastily announced the start of the game, and then withdrew.
Still Dumbledore couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward kindly and added:
"Every contestant, please hold the port key well, and you will be able to reach your destination in no time."
Standing next to the disc, Li Lei realized that the disc had six handles that were intentionally left out.Everyone looked at each other and held one of the handles respectively. After a flash of dizziness, they appeared in an open space.
The clearing was surrounded by lush woods, and behind the trees, a group of centaurs were watching warily at the group of people who had suddenly appeared in their place of residence.
Lily quickly took out the alchemy equipment used to communicate with the centaur from the backpack that cast the space compression spell and distributed it to everyone. Everyone quickly put it on their bodies, and then, as the captain, Steven stepped forward and said to the centaur:
"Hello, I'm a Hogwarts player who came here to compete... Well, I don't know if Dumbledore has told you about it."
The centaur was obviously very curious to see that Steven could speak their words, and even lowered his guard when he heard Dumbledore's name.A white-haired centaur stepped out from behind the crowd of centaurs. Unlike the others, his lower body was snow-white.
"Hello, wizard's cubs, I'm Drastlisksa, and I'm in charge of guiding you on this journey. During this time, I will be your guide, and I wish you excellent results. "
The centaur smiled friendly, stopped about three meters away from Steven, and slowly performed a wizard salute.
The six little wizards hurriedly returned the salute, and looked at the centaur who claimed to be the "guide" with some doubts.The centaur walked up to Steven with a friendly smile and explained:
"After all, you have come to Sumatra Island, and you are not very familiar with the terrain here. I will be responsible for guiding you to the seven major races, so as to gain their approval. When you have collected the imprints of the seven major races, you can go to the Balisan Mountains The pinnacle activates the natural magic circle left by Merlin to gain a powerful force."
It turned out that this was the case, and everyone suddenly realized that this centaur should be the "guide" responsible for guiding their journey.After all, this is only the first hurdle. If there is an academy that has never guessed that the competition location is in Sumatra, wouldn't it be blind?
However, everyone in Hogwarts is not afraid of the journey in Sumatra Island. After all, they have done enough preparations and have no worries about getting lost in Sumatra Island.Destris Casa didn't know this, he turned his head and said to the little wizards:
"First of all, let's prepare for the test of the centaurs and unicorns. Our two races live together, so you can save yourself from traveling a long way."
Destrisxa turned his head to look at the centaurs, and the little wizards discovered that there were some unicorns among the centaurs, but because they were all horses, everyone didn't pay attention at the first time. arrive.A centaur and a unicorn walked out of the centaur and unicorn, stood three meters away from the little wizards, and saluted slowly.
"This is the patriarch of our centaur clan and the patriarch of the unicorns. Now they will issue your mission."
The patriarch of the centaur looked at a group of young wizards waiting for the task in front of him, and said with emotion:
"It's been a long time since such a time has passed. How long has it been since no one came to take Merlin's natural inheritance... Hey, the current wizarding world doesn't pay much attention to these things, but yes, there is really no need for them."
The centaur patriarch who said something unclear didn't mean to explain. The unicorn patriarch next to him suddenly looked at him and neighed a few times.
"Well, that guy? Isn't it a bit too difficult to let this group of children go... Well, that's right, it's almost the same anyway."
After communicating with the unicorn patriarch for a while, the centaur patriarch raised his head and said:
"I can give you two choices here. You can accept either one as you like—but it is said that you are in the Triwizard Tournament, right? This choice will probably be recorded in the overall score."
Steven and everyone looked at each other, and quickly replied:
"Can you talk about the content first, and we can make a decision?"
"Of course." The centaur patriarch cleared his throat and said, "The first choice is relatively simple, and it is a conventional choice. You need to do one thing for us centaurs and unicorns respectively. For us centaurs, Thirty-five ounces of Sicilian thistles are required of you; and as for the unicorns, they demand of you five volcanic white lilies."
Sicilian thistle and volcanic white lotus are potions that grow in Sumatra. These two things are not particularly rare, but they are widely distributed.Steven looked at Severus, who hesitated for a moment and replied:
"As long as we are not very lucky or extremely unlucky, it will take about one to two days to find these things..."
one to two days?This time is a bit too long. Although the principals did not say that there is a time limit for the Triwizard Tournament, there is no doubt that the longer it takes, the more detrimental it will be to the final total score.Steven shook his head secretly, and asked the centaur patriarch:
"What's the other option?"
"The other option is up to me,"
A clear female voice came into everyone's minds, and the melody was directly thrown into the soul instead of being transmitted through the body. It was the patriarch of the unicorn.She took a step forward slowly, and bowed again to everyone.
"Recently, there is a nightmare that has been slaughtering our family, but because that guy is too cunning, we have not been able to catch it. I heard that you wizards always have special research on magical creatures. I hope you can help us to make the nightmare No longer disturb our lives. In return, you will be recognized by both unicorns and centaurs."
"Nightmare? A fallen unicorn, a nightmare tainted by black magic?!"
Before the voice of the unicorn patriarch could finish, Severus rushed out excitedly.Sensing the unhappiness of the unicorn patriarch, Severus realized that he had gone a little too far.Scratching his head, Severus stepped back to Steven and whispered:
"Be sure to choose Nightmare. The probability of encountering Nightmare is once in a thousand years. If you miss this time, you won't know when you will encounter Nightmare next time."
"But we are in the Triwizard Tournament, Severus. The location and strength of Nightmare are unknown. If we can't figure it out, won't we delay the game!"
Sirius didn't seem to be embarrassing Steven, so he quickly stopped Severus.Severus didn't care, and continued to say to Steven:
"I have received many potion formulas about nightmares from my mother. I can guarantee that if we can win the nightmares, our combat effectiveness will be upgraded to a higher level! Moreover, the nightmare potions made of nightmare hair can trap us. Three seconds for a powerful wizard! Even Dumbledore, the nightmare potion concocted by the worst potionist, can make him lose his mind for a short time."
This option was too sweet, and even Li Lei, who originally planned to oppose it, wavered.A potion that was so powerful that it could trap Dumbledore without fully exerting its effect, if made by a potion master like Severus, it would undoubtedly be a must-have product for escaping at home.
As long as there is a split second, the wizard can use Apparition to leave the battlefield completely.It can be said that with this potion, even if they face Voldemort in the future, they can even escape easily.
It wasn't just Li Lei who was moved, even Steven showed a struggling look on his face.After hesitating for a moment, Steven decided to listen to everyone's opinions.
"Let's vote, six people, six votes, those who agree raise their hands."
Li Lei, Severus, and Lily all raised their hands. James looked around, shrugged and said, "I abstain, you can do whatever you want."
Sirius looked at it for a moment, then sighed unwillingly, and raised his arms.
"Okay, if one person abstains and four people agree, then we will accept the commission about the nightmare."
There was no need for Steven to raise his hand anymore. After James abstained, the majority of people who chose to accept the Nightmare commission had already taken up.Not to mention that in the end, even Sirius, who had always opposed it, changed his choice.
After the discussion, everyone continued to ask Steven to be the representative, and received the task about the nightmare with the unicorn patriarch.The unicorn patriarch was very happy. She gave everyone a detailed introduction to the information about the nightmare and the locations of the recent attacks.
But even after saying so much, everyone is still not quite sure about Nightmare's location.Severus beckoned everyone to leave the camp quickly with a mysterious expression on his face, so the little wizards bid farewell to the unicorn and centaur, and embarked on the journey alone.
As for their guide, the white centaur with a long name, also stayed in the centaur camp waiting for their return.Constantly using Apparition to rush on the road, after arriving at the place where the Nightmare's last attack took place, Severus first cast a few spells to prevent his party from being detected, and then gathered everyone together.
"There's a reason why I asked you to accept Nightmare's commission, Steven."
Severus took out a potions book from the bag he carried with him. The surface of the potions book was yellowed and wrinkled, and a name was swirling on the title page.
Erin Prince.
Severus quickly flipped through the potions book, found the correct page number and spread it out in front of everyone.
"About the nightmare, there has always been such a legend. If someone can overcome the illusion produced by the nightmare, the nightmare will recognize that person as the master."
"I've heard this legend too, but it's said that if you can't overcome the nightmare, you will only die. Isn't that too risky?"
Lily, who was familiar with where the magical creatures are, frowned, and Severus waved his hand, denying her opinion.
"My mother once conducted a careful study on nightmares. She verified through investigation that if you use a thousand times diluted 'Drink of Life and Death Water' where the nightmares have passed, you can use this to enter the nightmares."
Speaking of this, Severus raised his head with bright eyes, looked at everyone, and grinned at the corner of his mouth:
In order to be sure, Lily carefully checked other materials near the equator.Although there are many that match the hints obtained from Dumbledore, most of them cannot satisfy the other two principals and are related to it, and the three principals have been involved, and only one in Sumatra.Now that the target has been determined, Lily, Raventraw, and the Hufflepuff girls turned their attention to Sumatra Island, wanting to investigate the situation on the island clearly.
Sumatra Island can be described as extremely dangerous. The Balisan Mountains in the west are scattered with dragon nests, villages of natural elves and centaurs, and traces of centaurs. Inferi haunt the deep swamps.
Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, the six people who had been identified practiced a little coordination with the help of everyone in other colleges; Slytherin and Raventraw also joined forces for the first time. A magic item was thrown into Lily's backpack with the Space Expansion Charm, and there were countless different magic bullets made by improving the Sirius pistol; With the joint efforts, a detailed terrain of Sumatra was spread out in front of everyone.There are also clear labels on the possible dangers in Sumatra.
Three days have passed, and the seventh-year Hogwarts students gathered in the Gryffindor common room to exchange information again.The first to speak was the prefect of Slytherin. As a skilled Slytherin, these seventh graders got a lot of words from the professor:
"Our Slytherin people have made many inquiries from the professor, and we have basically determined that the first level must be a multiplayer task, and the possibility of forming a team of six is the greatest; in addition, regarding the region, there are quite a few The professor inadvertently revealed that the place where the Triwizard Tournament will be held is an island, and it is near the junction of the Eurasian continent, which is consistent with our speculated Sumatra Island; in the end, it is certain that the task is not simple, it involves the local More than one race. According to different professors, we speculate that the most likely number should be 'seven'. In other words, the six of you will face seven different tasks in the first level."
After saying this, the Slytherin prefect looked at the Raventraws who were sitting quietly.The prefect of Raventraw coughed lightly, and summarized the results of the wisdom of Raventraw during this period of time on behalf of Raventraw:

So you need to prepare language translation props, which I have given to Lily before, and you can use them directly when the time comes.

This is the benefit of God teammates. With the concerted efforts of the four colleges, Li Lei suddenly felt that Steven might really win this Triwizard Tournament.Raventraw sent another stack of thick parchment to the six people who were about to leave this time, saying:
"Here is Hufflepuff responsible for sorting out and transcribing all the distributed magical creatures, herbs, and wizard strongholds on the island. We, Raventraw, have cast magic on them, so that you can quickly and easily inquire.

Sirius didn't seem to be embarrassing Steven, so he quickly stopped Severus.Severus didn't care, and continued to say to Steven:
"I have received many potion formulas about nightmares from my mother. I can guarantee that if we can win the nightmares, our combat effectiveness will be upgraded to a higher level! Moreover, the nightmare potions made of nightmare hair can trap us. Three seconds for a powerful wizard! Even Dumbledore, the nightmare potion concocted by the worst potionist, can make him lose his mind for a short time."
This option was too sweet, and even Li Lei, who originally planned to oppose it, wavered.A potion that was so powerful that it could trap Dumbledore without fully exerting its effect, if made by a potion master like Severus, it would undoubtedly be a must-have product for escaping at home.
As long as there is a split second, the wizard can use Apparition to leave the battlefield completely.It can be said that with this potion, even if they face Voldemort in the future, they can even escape easily.
It wasn't just Li Lei who was moved, even Steven showed a struggling look on his face.After hesitating for a moment, Steven decided to listen to everyone's opinions.
"Let's vote, six people, six votes, those who agree raise their hands."
Li Lei, Severus, and Lily all raised their hands. James looked around, shrugged and said, "I abstain, you can do whatever you want."
Sirius looked at it for a moment, then sighed unwillingly, and raised his arms.
"Okay, if one person abstains and four people agree, then we will accept the commission about the nightmare."
There was no need for Steven to raise his hand anymore. After James abstained, the majority of people who chose to accept the Nightmare commission had already taken up.Not to mention that in the end, even Sirius, who had always opposed it, changed his choice.
After the discussion, everyone continued to ask Steven to be the representative, and received the task about the nightmare with the unicorn patriarch.The unicorn patriarch was very happy. She gave everyone a detailed introduction to the information about the nightmare and the locations of the recent attacks.
But even after saying so much, everyone is still not quite sure about Nightmare's location.Severus beckoned everyone to leave the camp quickly with a mysterious expression on his face, so the little wizards bid farewell to the unicorn and centaur, and embarked on the journey alone.
As for their guide, the white centaur with a long name, also stayed in the centaur camp waiting for their return.Constantly using Apparition to rush on the road, after arriving at the place where the Nightmare's last attack took place, Severus first cast a few spells to prevent his party from being detected, and then gathered everyone together.
"There's a reason why I asked you to accept Nightmare's commission, Steven."
Severus took out a potions book from the bag he carried with him. The surface of the potions book was yellowed and wrinkled, and a name was swirling on the title page.
Erin Prince.
Severus quickly flipped through the potions book, found the correct page number and spread it out in front of everyone.
"About the nightmare, there has always been such a legend. If someone can overcome the illusion produced by the nightmare, the nightmare will recognize that person as the master."
"I've heard this legend too, but it's said that if you can't overcome the nightmare, you will only die. Isn't that too risky?"
Lily, who was familiar with where the magical creatures are, frowned, and Severus waved his hand, denying her opinion.
"My mother once conducted a careful study on nightmares. She verified through investigation that if you use a thousand times diluted 'Drink of Life and Death Water' where the nightmares have passed, you can use this to enter the nightmares."
Speaking of this, Severus raised his head with bright eyes, looked at everyone, and grinned at the corner of his mouth:
