Bagman waved his wand and blessed himself with a 'loud voice', and the deafening voice instantly spread to every corner of the auditorium. As the game approached, the smile on his face was also put away, and his expression became extremely serious.

"Welcome everyone to the second game! Last night, the most beloved treasures were stolen from the warriors, and we placed them under the Black Lake. Their task is very simple, that is, bring the treasures to return!

Here, I have to remind you of one thing. This game is time limited! You only have one hour to retrieve this treasure, once the time is over, it will be lost forever! "

Bagman looked at the four warriors and read out the rules of the game aloud, emphasizing his tone in the last sentence.

"Treasure? What treasure?"

"Since it's a treasure, it must be very valuable, maybe it's the most valuable thing on them!"

"Isn't one hour too short? The Black Lake is not shallow~"

After Bagman read out the competition rules and precautions, the little wizards on the three viewing platforms kept stretching their necks to get a better view. They all had a heated discussion. They were really curious about the 'treasure'. .

Knowing that the 'treasure' is actually their most important person, Harry and Carl showed a hint of nervousness on their faces at the right time. Since they all cheated, it would be better to act it out, otherwise it would be too abnormal.

"Mr. Bagman, wait a minute! You haven't announced what that treasure is?!

I have deciphered the clues of the golden egg a long time ago, but I didn't find anything missing when I woke up this morning! "

Carl turned around with a smile and stared at Bagman on the high platform, pretending to be very curious.

"That's exactly what I'm going to announce next!" Bagman certainly understood what Carl meant, and immediately said loudly.

Bagman waved the wand in his hand vigorously, and a huge curtain hung down from mid-air to reflect the scene at the bottom of the lake. It was dark and full of water plants, and some strange-looking magical creatures were seen cruising past from time to time.

The little wizards immediately scrambled to pull the staring boss on the fence, for fear of missing some details.

"There are no 'treasures' more precious than those you love, so the treasures of the warriors are...them!"

At the same time, Dumbledore's old and steady voice sounded, and with the tap of the old wand, a light spot the size of a grain of rice flew out from the tip of the wand and floated unsteadily to the huge curtain.

With a burst of white light, the scene at the bottom of the lake suddenly became clear. From far away, a simple village was gradually revealed, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

Houses made of stones are scattered at the bottom of the lake, and strange-looking mermaids with steel forks swim past the aquatic plants from time to time.

A mermaid statue that is much taller than those houses stands in the center of the village. A dozen mermaids are dancing around the statue, dancing and singing loudly, as if some kind of sacrifice is being held, and the statue Underneath, four people were firmly bound with water plants.

Niari, Hermione, Gabriel and Angelina.

After Krum was rejected by Hermione, it may be because of his mutual love of Quidditch. He invited Gryffindor's batsman Angelina, and the other party readily agreed.

Although the number one candidate in his heart was still Hermione, and he didn't have much interest in Angelina, he still fulfilled the duties of an official dance partner and danced with her until the end of the ball.

Unlike Furong, the tool man disappeared without a trace as soon as he finished using it.

Originally, the hostages this time should be three women and one man as their dance partners, but even the referees couldn't stand Fu Rong's actions.

If Roger was really brought into Black Lake, if it weren't for the blessing of the game, I'm afraid this woman wouldn't even take a look at it. This didn't meet the expectations of the referees. It didn't help that Maxim's mouth was dry, after all, she had to face four referees.

...

The four girls, hanging quietly under the statue without the slightest sign of resistance, seemed to have passed out.

"I'll go, live broadcast!" Carl was a little surprised, but he understood the situation after thinking about it.

After all, this competition took place underwater. The deeper the water, the darker the light, and the places where the mermaids live are already very low in visibility.

The spectators are located on the high viewing platform looking down and probably can't see anything. The only thing they can see is the final result, so the referees made such an arrangement after consideration.

"Hermione!" Harry began to display his acting skills, his voice trembling as he covered his face, because Bagman had revealed the news to him in advance, so he couldn't tell the truth.

After confirming that his 'treasure' was his dance partner at the Christmas ball, Krum just frowned. He didn't have much affection for her, but he would also go all out because of the competition.

"Gabriel?! How can you do this, she is just a child!"

But Fleur immediately split open, her legs gave way and her body instantly lost her balance, but in the end, Harry next to her had quick eyesight and a quick hand to pull her in time, which prevented her from falling into the lake.

"Gabriel!" Fleur barely stood still with Harry's support, calling her sister while looking at Carl in confusion, as if she wanted to know why her sister appeared at the bottom of the lake.

Karl shrugged helplessly and didn't explain anything. With so many people watching, the PY deal between him and Furong was not a good one.

And the content deciphered from the golden egg didn't mention what the "most missed thing" was, so he really didn't cheat her, after all, what she wanted was the clues contained in the golden egg...

"Why did Gabriel appear under the Black Lake? She is only eight years old, she shouldn't have to bear this at all! How can you have the heart to throw her into the Black Lake and hand it over to those disgusting mermaids?!"

Tears flowed down Furong's face continuously, she yelled at the referees hysterically, her pretty face became a little hideous.

There was a hint of unbearable look in Maxim's eyes. She took a deep breath and was about to hint to Fleur that her sister would be fine before she was interrupted by Bagman.

"Take it easy, Mademoiselle Delacour! We had their consent before this, just last night.

They became hostages voluntarily, and we didn't intend to force them at all. Professor Dumbledore and the others can all testify to this! Because the hostages of each college are handled by them personally! "

Bagman stood up from his chair and looked at Fleur very seriously. Seeing this, Dumbledore, Karkaroff and others all nodded to her, saying that there was nothing shady about it, while Maxim was itching his teeth angrily when he saw the four old guys, wishing he could send them off alone. Awada gnawed a big melon.

"What if I don't rescue her within an hour? What will happen?!" Fleur gasped, the one-hour limit was like a Damocles sword hovering over her head.

She couldn't imagine what Gabriel would face if she failed, being dragged away by the mermaid? still…

"Hiss...this~..." Faced with this extremely sharp question, Bagman couldn't help frowning, thinking about how to answer Fleur. He exchanged glances with Dumbledore before sitting down.

"Miss Delacour, the Goblet of Fire has a powerful contract. When they agreed to take part in the second match as hostages, they were already counted as officially participating, and they were also bound by the ancient contract~..."

Dumbledore immediately understood, he slowly stood up from the chair, there was no smile on his face, his seriousness was terrifying.

Fu Rong's heart sank in an instant. It wasn't just the warriors who died in the previous Triwizard Tournament... Dumbledore had already made it very clear that Gabriel's life and death were only in her hands.

Maxim grabbed the armrest of the chair, only to hear a click, and the wooden armrest was crushed by her, and sawdust flew across.

...

Time went back to a day ago, in the principal's office...

"Albus, can you really guarantee Gabriel's safety?!" Maxim's face turned blue, and she undoubtedly took a great risk in doing so.

"The contract of the Goblet of Fire is not unbreakable, and the power of the contract mainly affects the four warriors. I'm sure I can resist..." Dumbledore rubbed his temples and said wearily.

He had explained it to Maxim many times before, and he no longer wanted to repeat it.

"But…"

"Okay, Madame Maxime! Crouch and Mr. Bagman have already agreed!"

...

on the field.

After hearing what Dumbledore said was so serious, Harry started to panic again. Could it be that Bagman was lying to him before?

He would hate himself for the rest of his life if something happened to Hermione.

He couldn't help looking at Karl as if asking for help, wanting to get a definite answer.

Carl just looked at the calm black lake with his usual expression, and Harry didn't see any trace of worry on his face.

Even Harry relaxed. He knew that it was impossible for the Black Lake to stop Carl, and the four hostages were together. Even if he couldn't make it to the end, with the relationship between Hermione and Carl, he firmly believed that she wouldn't. Something might happen.

"It turns out that I don't really like Qiu Zhang~..."

As for how many points can be scored in this level, he has already thrown it out of the blue. The trophy of the Triwizard Tournament cannot be compared with his "most missed treasure" at all!

Just when Harry was secretly cheering himself up, the curtain suspended in front of the three viewing platforms reflecting the four hostages suddenly changed.

Naiyali's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she woke up quickly from the drowsiness. She stretched her waist, and the water plants tied to her body broke into several pieces in an instant.

"Well~, I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time~..."
