Hogwarts Summoning Manual

Chapter 160 Goblet of Fire

Filch walked up to Dumbledore and said something in a low voice. Dumbledore hurried to greet him outside. After a while, representatives from the Ministry of Magic also came in, and the leader was old Barty Crouch.

Originally, Bai Lin was still having an awkward chat with Karkaroff, trying to get some useful information out of his set, but when he looked up, he saw Old Batty, Bai Lin suddenly became terrified, and almost couldn't help it stood up.

If Bai Lin were Barty Crouch Jr., he would choose to dress up as a person, get involved in the Triwizard Tournament, manipulate the entire game without anyone noticing, and be fully familiar with the person being pretended, That Bai Lin would definitely choose Barty Jr.'s father, Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

The entire Goblet of Fire competition is supervised and organized by the Ministry of Magic, not the Hogwarts family. The Goblet of Fire is also under the care of the Ministry of Magic. Not to mention how difficult it is for Barty Jr. to catch Mad-Eye Moody. It's Moody himself. As an old Auror who has retired for more than ten years, he wants to do so many tricks under the guard of the Ministry of Magic, including stealing trophies and making them into portkeys. It's a wine bag and rice bag.

But it is much easier to sneak attack on his father - in the original book, Barty the old imprisoned his son at home, and he sneaked out during the Quidditch match. In the world where Bai Lin lives, Barty Jr. He got a magic wand, let Winky take him home, subduing old Barty is almost easy.

However, it is very convenient for the old Batty to do something about the trophy. He can even decide what the competition is. As long as it is not outrageous, the three principals will not raise any objections, so as not to appear that their own warriors have shortcomings.

When Bai Lin saw the old Batty walking into the auditorium, he immediately figured it out. He could jump out now and directly expose the old Batty's identity, but after thinking about it, he didn't act rashly.

Because familiarity with the plot is Bai Lin's biggest reliance in dealing with Voldemort. As one of the ultimate bosses, Voldemort is the best choice to fight steadily.

Now that Bai Lin has seen through his identity, he has changed from the enemy's dark self to the enemy's light, and Bai Lin has relaxed a lot.

His attention was quickly attracted to Beauxbaton's dining table, because Yuxi and Catherine were hugging each other affectionately, chatting happily with their school girls, and became the most beautiful corner of the entire auditorium for a while.

This scene made Bai Lin a little embarrassed. One was Catherine, who had been in close contact with him for more than half a year, and the other was Yu Qian, who had slipped into his bed last night and slept with his arms around him.

Bai Lin scratched his cheek and turned his head to one side.Harry was also looking at the girl, but it wasn't Beauxbaton's table, but skipping over Hermione perfectly, peeking at Qiu Zhang on the Ravenclaw table, Bai Lin felt that his saliva was about to flow out... What a beautiful adolescence.

The teachers from the three schools raised their glasses frequently, but "Old Barty" drank very little. Halfway through the dinner, Moody was already quite drunk and snored against the back of his chair.

Dumbledore and the other two principals stood up and walked onto the rostrum together. Dumbledore said: "Be quiet, be quiet~" He pointed his wand at his throat, and his voice suddenly thundered, so the students were all silent Down, only Moody turned over and continued to sleep.

"Guests from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang are here with us today. This is a grand event in the wizarding world of Europe! Let's raise our glasses to celebrate! They will spend the next school year with us, I hope everyone can learn from each other and form friendship sincerely!  …”

"I believe that everyone already knows something about the Triwizard Tournament, so I won't go into details about the history and significance of the tournament." Dumbledore shared a drink with the audience and said, "Everyone is very concerned about how the warriors participating in the competition are. Selected, please see!"

Several staff members of the Ministry of Magic moved up a huge object two or three meters high, placed it in front of the rostrum, and lifted the curtain. Inside was a golden round tower, inlaid with gems of various colors, sitting on it. The students who were closer were blinded.

Bai Lin also looked at this treasure with great interest, but what he thought in his heart was: This is obviously a treasure that contains a lot of magical power. I don't know if it can be melted to create a divine weapon...

But Bai Lin just thought about it, he still has his own moral standards, and after two shadow dreams, he felt more and more that people can't do things wrong...

Dumbledore waved his wand, and the resplendent and resplendent round tower began to deform, pieces of shells were withdrawn from the base, and finally the contents inside were revealed—an ancient trophy with an unknown history, in which a raging blue flame was burning. flame.

"As you can see, this is an ancient artifact, which contains the highest oath and honor of wizards—the Goblet of Fire!" Dumbledore's voice became very solemn, changing from his usual relaxed and humorous.

"Before tomorrow night, all students who want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament and win the supreme glory, and who have reached the age of 17, can write their names and schools on the parchment and throw them into the Goblet of Fire. The Cup will select the most suitable list of warriors for us!" Dumbledore said in a deep voice.

The students were in an uproar. They guessed countless ways to select a warrior. Malfoy even wanted to use his family's power to make himself a warrior, but no one expected that he would use an ancient magic weapon to select someone. What the hell? How is it different from lottery?

And Bai Lin was full of complaints: Assuming the Goblet of Fire is a magic weapon without thinking, how can it tell whether these names are students or not?Is the teacher's name okay?How did the Ministry of Magic set the standard for him?If there are obviously many outstanding students in a school, will the three warriors be selected from the same school?

Assuming the goblet of fire has a certain mind, it can communicate with the wizard.So what the hell is the fourth person appearing in the original book?Is the Goblet of Fire right or wrong?Wizards have to accept it unconditionally?

It is mentioned many times in the article that the Goblet of Fire contains extremely powerful magical power. Even great wizards like Dumbledore believe in the choice of the Goblet of Fire. Features should not be possible.

And judging by the appearance of the Goblet of Fire, I am afraid that the history is longer than the three magic schools. Bai Lin concluded that this magic weapon is somewhat similar to the Olympus Holy Flame. It may have existed and been used in ancient times, perhaps for a kingdom or a city-state. It was cast for the competition between them.It was only later that with the development of civilization and the rise of the three major magic schools, they were slowly endowed with new functions by wizards.

If the warriors of various kingdoms or city-states were also selected by throwing notes in ancient times, it is likely to be distinguished by parchments made from different regions. This can also explain why the little Batty in the original book can successfully elect Harry. As long as Harry Potter's name is written on a parchment different from the country where the three schools are located, he will be elected, because he is the only candidate in this area.In order to verify this point, Bai Lin had a fresh idea.

The second half of the dinner ended amidst the noisy discussions among the students. The students and teachers left the venue one after another. The Goblet of Fire was placed in the auditorium, guarded by four guards from the Ministry of Magic. An age mark was drawn around the Goblet of Fire. Children under the age of 17 cannot enter this age line.

But for an adult wizard like Bai Lin, this level of enchantment is really not enough. Could it be that when Death Eaters attack your house, you can block them by drawing an age line at the door?

Gu looked at the age line and Bai Lin began to think wildly. If the above situation really happened, then of course the Death Eaters could use the Fierce Fire Curse to burn people and houses to the ground. But thinking of this, Bai Lin Suddenly figured out how to solve Marvolo Gaunt's ring.

In the original book, Marvolo Gaunt's ring is equipped with Voldemort's extremely powerful curse magic. Anyone who touches it will suffer a fatal curse. The strength of the lido magic ceiling has also been delayed for only one year, and it still faces death.

But labor and management can directly cast a Fierce Fire Curse outside the house. In theory, wouldn't even the house and the Horcrux be burned down.The more Bai Lin thought about it, the more reliable he became. He quickly opened the black magic book, found the Fierce Fire Curse, and learned the spell. Before, he always felt that this thing was difficult to control and slow to take effect. Now that he thought about it, it was a good way to deal with Horcruxes. way.

Bai Lin performed a disguised obfuscation technique on this black magic book. Others saw it as just an ordinary notebook, so he looked around and studied it in a corner of the auditorium.

However, he attracted someone's attention. Karkaroff walked up to Bai Lin with a serious face: "Let me see, Professor White seems to have a great book..."

Bai Lin was fascinated by the sight, and was still practicing spells in his head. When he was awakened by Karkaroff's words, he saw his tall figure blocking the light of the Goblet of Fire, showing a shadow on his face, showing no joy or anger.

Bai Lin looked solemn, closed the notebook in his hand, and then smiled again: "You're joking, it's just some of my teaching notes."

Karkaroff stabilized his body, seemed to relax a lot, and sat down in front of Bai Lin.Reflecting the surrounding flames, Bai Lin saw that his knife-like face seemed to be in some pain, and his goat-like beard was trembling.

Karkaroff said: "Although it's the first time we meet, I'm afraid I'm a bit abrupt... But I just quietly asked about you, which surprised me..."

Bai Lin's mind was moved, but he didn't think that Karkaroff had the guts to snatch the book of black magic from him, and he felt that he was here to ask for help or cooperation.

Karkaroff's momentum in the original book is quite positive, but he is really timid. When Voldemort fell, he was a Death Eater in order to keep himself (in fact, he didn't do anything too harmful). Confessed some Death Eaters, such as Snape and Barty Jr.

After learning that Voldemort was resurrected, he hid in XZ, and was finally found dead in a small wooden house in the north in the summer of 1996. The Dark Mark was hung on his body, and he should have been hunted down by Voldemort. due to.

Bai Lin said: "Principal Karkaroff, you are welcome. I know you quite well. You can treat me as an old friend."

Karkaroff was a little surprised, but he said honestly: "Then I'll cut to the chase. I found out that Professor White is just an assistant professor of the Protection of Magical Animals class at Hogwarts. This is definitely an overkill, I think. Hire you as Durmstrang's visiting professor, and teach my students black magic in this school year."

Bai Lin was suddenly amused by Karkaroff: "Ha, Mr. Principal, are you joking? Durmstrang still needs external professors to teach black magic? Aren't you a master of it?"

Karkaroff took off the sheepskin gloves, and said with some gloom: "Perhaps you know something about me. I have been obsessed with black magic research since I was young, not to hurt others, nor to uphold justice... and actually In fact, the Ministry of Magic of various countries has an unwritten concept that only black magic can keep the status of wizards in the human world, so it is impossible to completely prohibit the research and use of black magic."

Bai Lin nodded. What Karkaroff said made sense. If wizards want to live well in the human world, they must have an advantage in force. Once the leaders of the Muggle society find out, wizards are very weak and there are many security forces. Hidden dangers, the result is bound to be ethnic cleansing similar to the Witch Hunt.

Karkaroff continued: "However, years of research and use of black magic will indeed distort people's minds and characters. Even if you have a strong will to resist, you will eventually find that this side effect not only affects the mind, but also affects the mind. Affecting the body... I can no longer teach black magic, unless I want to burn my lifespan. This is my advice to you, although you are still young."

Bai Lin nodded again, and said with a smile: "What are you going to use as my reward? As you said, I want to burn my life to teach." He was very clear in his heart, and Karkaroff only said Half of the reason, in the final analysis, he still wants to peek at the black magic book in Bai Lin's hands, and wants to save the country with curves.

Karkaroff said: "You can mention Gallon, magic spar, and precious magic raw materials. Durmstrang will do his best to satisfy you!"

Bai Lin stood up, shook hands with Karkaroff and said, "Your sincerity has moved me, and I can go to work tomorrow!"

"You... are such a cheerful person..." Karkaroff also stood up, he was half a head taller than Bai Lin, and he smiled, showing his yellow teeth.

As soon as Karkaroff left, another person sat opposite Bai Lin.

Bai Lin looked up, and it turned out that it was Moody who was sober, his fake eyes were floating around, and his expression was also startled.

"You shouldn't trust Karkaroff!" Moody said.It took him six months to hunt down and catch Karkaroff back then, but he was later released by Barty Sr. Moody is still a little bit aggrieved.

"Ha, I know, Dumbledore invited you here mainly to monitor Durmstrang's people. After all, it's normal for a black magic player to have inconsistencies." Bai Lin said.

"Since you know! Why do you still agree to him?" Moody said.

"Believe me, our enemy is not him, he is just a poor guy, but there is another person, we'd better pay attention..." Bai Lin leaned towards Moody and said.
