Chapter 172 Treasure hunt! Warriors
No one present had much reaction to Ludo Bagman's words, because everyone already knew what kind of scene they were about to face.
Fleur was still sitting in the corner, looking very worried; while Harry and Hermione, the former was constantly recalling what they heard in Moody's office, and the latter was still pale.
As for Maka, he just looked at Harry and Hermione, expressionless and silent.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of hundreds of pairs of feet walking through the tent was heard. The owners of the feet were talking and laughing excitedly, which made the atmosphere in the tent even more solemn.
Then, when the footsteps quieted down, Bagman opened the purple silk bag.
"Ladies first, gentlemen, please wait a moment." He said playfully, passing the bag to Fleur Delacour first.
She put a trembling hand into the bag and pulled out a very delicate model of a box - it looked like one of Luna's favorite trinkets.
What's even more amazing is that this aqua blue box model has been enchanted. At this moment, it is lying quietly in Hibiscus's hand, exuding slightly steaming water vapor.
And just on the lid of this box, a small ancient magic text is constantly changing slightly.
"This is...rune letters?" Fleur whispered.
At Hogwarts, the study of ancient runes was an elective course for the third grade, and the same was true at Beauxbatons. She recognized the meaning of this letter at a glance.
"'Lagu' represents water...Does this tell me to look for water?" Fleur thought as she stood aside and let Hermione step forward to take out her box model.
Maka on the side heard Fleur whispering to herself. He shook his head, but nodded slightly.
"'Lagu' also represents female intuition," he thought to himself. "This Veela hybrid is lucky, because she can't go wrong no matter what she thinks. The most she can do is spend more time."
At this time, Hermione had also drawn her model, which was a small box with an uncertain reality. A translucent runic letter was faintly printed on the center of the box lid.
"'Eoh', the yew tree?"
As soon as she saw the familiar magic letters, Hermione felt much better - at least her little face was not as pale as before. She subconsciously turned her head and explained to Harry habitually: "But you still have to pay attention.
It symbolizes death or rebirth - I think that must be helpful in finding it."
Harry nodded confusedly, not sure whether he understood or not.
"Then it's time for the gentlemen, come on Harry!" Bagman handed the bag to Harry next to Hermione and motioned for him to draw first.
"Uh...is that okay?"
Harry glanced at Maka, and after seeing him nod, he put his hand in. But when he took out the box model that belonged to him from the bag, he was stunned.
Other people's box lids only have one letter, but he has two! You know, Harry was not very familiar with ancient runes, but who knew he would actually draw a rune combination.
Maka couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw this - she didn't know whether he was lucky or bad. The meaning expressed by this combination of magic words was too clear.
"Eolh" represents the antlers of an elk, and also represents an upwardly stretched hand, which generally symbolizes reaching the kingdom of God, meaning the commanding heights; while "Nvd" represents poverty or hardship, which appears to be misfortune, but secretly
Refers to challenge.
If the person who drew this box is familiar with runes, then the location of this box is already obvious.
"Mr. McClain, the last model...take it out with your own hands!" Bagman looked extremely excited, and he almost sang these words in an aria-like tone.
But Maka obviously didn't buy it. He waved his hand and said: "Mr. Bagman, please do it for me..."
"Oh - although - okay!" He shrugged, "Actually, I kind of want to try it myself!"
He quickly put his hand into the bag and took out an almost completely white box model. On top of this model, waves of cold air were silently exuding.
As soon as Maka saw this model, she couldn't help but frown.
"...This is not a good sign." He took it from Bagman casually, rubbed his brows and thought deeply.
On this snow-white box model, there is a runic letter "Is" representing "ice". In the superficial sense of this character, it symbolizes graceful and exquisite deception, which seems to help,
In fact, it is an obstacle.
In the deeper meaning of this letter, it also represents the possibility of the plan being delayed - this may be the last thing Maka wants to see now.
"Okay, you've all got it!" Bagman said, "You've all drawn the shapes of the boxes you're going to search for. Where will they be? Of course you have to find the answer from the model in your hands..."
"Okay, I'm going to leave you for a moment now, because I have to give an explanation to the audience. Everyone go to their respective tent entrances and wait! As soon as you hear the whistle, everyone will walk into the venue, do you understand?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly added: "So...Harry...can I say a few words to you? Right here."
It seemed that no one else needed to worry. Bagman must have planned to reveal some good news to Harry. Maka, who was the first to walk out of the tent, looked back and then walked slowly towards the entrance of the tent on the other side of the venue.
Go.
Along the way, you could hear the constant noise on top of the high wall. The audience had obviously arrived. When Maka walked into the entrance of the tent that belonged to him, Bagman had already prepared him.
More than half of my speech has been said.
No way, his entrance is the farthest one from the resting place, and you have to walk a full half circle around the wall!
Not long after, the sharp sound of the magic whistle cut through the noisy cheers of the audience, announcing the official start of the first event of the Triwizard Tournament.
When he opened the curtain and walked through the aisle and came to the real competition venue, a multi-player arena as large as several Muggle football fields immediately came into Maka's eyes.
It is a complex man-made terrain.
Among the surrounding towering walls, there are rolling stone mountains, winding rivers, and even a dense evergreen forest.
And right in the center of the site, a steep mountain peak that is higher than the wall stands there. It can be seen that there is even ice and snow condensation on the peak, making it look illusory amidst the clouds that are obviously created by magic.
It seems real, mysterious and wonderful.
That was obviously where Harry was going, and it was also the same place that confused Maka.
At various locations on the field, eight fire dragons were either sleeping on the ground or soaring high in the sky. From time to time, they would spray a series of flame dragon breaths towards the audience on the wall. Although the flames would always be easily suppressed by a looming magic film.
Block it, but the audience will still be scared and lean back.
Maka was not in a hurry to find the box he had drawn. He chose a stone at random, controlled it with a floating spell and carried himself to a high altitude. Looking around, he seemed to be looking for something.
Suddenly, the audience made a noise, and then Maka saw Harry. Sure enough, he summoned his broomstick with the flying spell, and nimbly avoided the breath of a Hungarian Horntail, heading towards the center of the field.
The mountain peak flew straight past.
As for Hermione, it stands to reason that she should have entered the woods. Although the woods were right under Maka, he did not see Hermione.
However, Fleur's location has been found by Maka. She is currently wandering cautiously on the bank of a small river, avoiding the fire dragon while carefully searching for the location of the box that belongs to her.
"Found it." Maka's eyes moved forward again, and this time, he finally nodded.
What he was looking for was the Chinese fireball he had been paying attention to that night. It was also known as the "dragon lion". The fiery red dragon scales had some faint golden spots that clearly indicated that it was a female dragon lion.
When Maka saw it, it was lying lazily on a piece of grass, seemingly still taking a nap!
"Now that the 'Boss' has been found, let's go look for the 'treasure box'..." Maka muttered softly and began to look around again.
However, this "little bug" hanging in mid-air seems to have attracted the attention of some big guy.
Like the ferocious black dragon chasing Harry, it is also a strong and ferocious Hungarian tree peak. With its pitch-black scales, yellow eyes, and bronze-colored sharp horns, it looks like it is aggressive and aggressive at first glance.
Dangerous species.
Maka was too lazy to tangle with this big lizard with thick skin and extremely high magic resistance - even if he killed it, the dragon farm wouldn't give him half a scale, so why should he bother?
Maka waved his hand, and a cloud of gray mist suddenly exploded, hiding his figure. When the mist dispersed with the wind, he had disappeared from the black dragon's sight.
"The prompt is 'ice', but that means deception... In addition, the only place with ice is the central peak..."
After thinking for a moment, he immediately rushed to the northwest corner - the box he was looking for should be hidden in that rugged rocky area.
It was a corner and the lowest location in the entire site. There was still steam steaming faintly, and the light of fire was looming in the cracks in the rocks. All signs showed that it was a terrain completely opposite to the snowy land on the peak.
When he came to this rocky ground, a thick smell of sulfur hit his face, and the surrounding temperature was obviously in great contrast with other places.
"It would be good to have a hot spring on the island in Rowena in the future..." Maka touched her chin and said to herself thoughtfully.
