Chapter 586 Black Dragon
Vader walked towards Harry and whispered, "Are you ready?"
Harry forced a smile, nodded and said, "Try your best."
He actually felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and felt that if he said a few more words, he would panic and vomit.
The two walked into the tent and saw that most of the warriors were already inside -
Fleur sat in the corner with a pale face, Viktor had a gloomy face, Cedric paced back and forth, Seraphina kept tapping her wand with her fingers, Chinatsu Asada's lips moved as if she was silently chanting some spell, Jabari who had turned into a mouse before was swaying on a chair, and Papua of Vagado was doing squat training.
Everyone had a different look, but the common point was the tension and fear in their eyes. Just by looking at each other's faces, everyone knew what they were facing.
There was total silence and no one spoke.
After waiting for another ten minutes, the remaining people came into the tent one after another, and Bagman happily opened the curtain and came in.
"Okay, now that you're all here, let's introduce the situation!"
He said cheerfully, "Because more than half of the contestants will be eliminated in this competition, in order to avoid unfair scoring, we have had a very difficult discussion for more than half a month and finally decided to cancel the scoring system of the previous three-strong competition - only contestants who have achieved the goal can successfully enter the second round!"
"The process of the competition is like this. First, you have to pick out a small model from this bag. There is a number on it. This is the order in which you will participate in the competition."
He shook a purple silk bag in his hand.
"Next, you need to pass through some kind of obstacle and touch a compass in the middle of the arena... Oh, don't worry, you can't see it, it's very conspicuous."
"The compass will send you to a prepared venue where sixteen golden eggs are hidden. Only students who get the golden eggs and return safely can avoid being eliminated and enter the next round... Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Bagman looked at everyone expectantly with an excited smile on his face, but there was silence in the tent, as if everyone had made up their minds not to ask any unnecessary questions.
——Of course, it may also be because many people are still sorting out the order of the competition in their minds and haven’t thought about what to ask.
Bagman waited for more than ten seconds, then in silence he untied the bag in his hand and held it out to Harry, who was closest to him.
"Just draw randomly. Everyone has the same chance of winning."
Harry glanced at Vader, reached in, and pulled out a black egg, the same size as an ordinary egg, with a white number "3" on it.
The next second, the egg cracked in his hand, and a little black dragon broke out of the shell, spread its wings, and spewed out a small ball of flame.
Harry's face turned pale instantly - this was one of the most dangerous dragons, the Hungarian Horntail.
"Oh……"
Bagman sighed unconsciously, not expecting Harry to be so unlucky, but he didn't have time to say anything before handing the bag to the second person.
Soon, Wade also pulled out a green egg from the bag with the number "1" on it.
When he thought he was lucky enough to draw the Welsh Green Dragon, the eggshell cracked and a pitch-black creature emerged. It swept its small tail and smashed the eggshell next to it.
This is a Scottish black dragon.
Wade narrowed his eyes slightly, and the information about this fire dragon quickly flashed through his mind:
The adult black dragon was thirty feet in size, with a row of sharp, serrated spines from the back of its head to its spine. The tip of its tail was a sharp arrow that could easily pierce a person.
The Scottish Black Dragon has a strong sense of territory and is good at sweeping attacks with its tail. The range of its fire-breathing ability can only be described as medium.
The disadvantages are that it is relatively slow in action and has a very bad temper.
Good luck.
Wade likes this kind of slow-moving guy. On the other side, Furong, who drew the Welsh Green Dragon, had a fatalistic expression on her face, but after seeing the Fire Dragons drawn by the two of them, her expression became a little better.
However, the girl's eyes seemed to say - "Poor little boy, you are dead."
After everyone drew their own dragons, Bagman said happily:
"You have all seen your opponents, right? The numbers on the eggshells are the order in which you will play. Someone will take you to where you should go later. So... Harry... can you come with me for a moment? I have something to say to you."
Harry, holding the dragon model in his hand, followed the referee out with a confused look on his face.
Then, a boy with brown curly hair poked his head in and asked, "Who drew the Scottish Black Dragon? Please follow me."
"Rolf?" Wade asked in surprise, "Why is it you?"
The boy was Newt Scamander's grandson, and Wade sometimes corresponded with Mr. Scamander, and he also had a good relationship with Rolf, but because they were not in the same grade, they didn't meet very often.
"Weider!" Rolf said happily, "I knew I would meet you, so I came here first! Oh... you got the Scottish Black Dragon? What a fate."
At the same time, four other people came out of the tent, namely Jabari from Vagadu, Natalia from Kodos Doris, Hope from Salem, and Ganesh from Mando.
Rolf walked and said, "Last night, the dean said in the common room that the competition needed a few volunteers and asked who could sign up, so I signed up. Fortunately, there were not many people at the time, otherwise I would not have been selected!"
"What are the volunteers for?" Ganesh asked in somewhat strange English. "Boy, where are we going now?"
The tall wooden boards blocked everyone's view. They could not see the scene on the other side. They could only hear the excited conversations of people in the audience in the distance and the roar of the fire dragon.
"Of course, we have to go to where the Scottish Black Dragon is!" Rolf turned around and gave him a bright smile: "What I have to do is very simple - lead the players, and then remind everyone to go on stage in order."
He turned his head and asked excitedly: "Weid, which one are you?"
Wade picked up the remaining eggshell in his hand and showed the number on it.
"First? First is good too." Rolf comforted his friend: "The earlier you start, the easier it is to find the golden egg."
Wade smiled and said, "I thought so too."
"Come on!" Rolf clenched his fist and said, "I knew you could do it!"
"There's no harm in being last in the order." Jabari pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm number 5. You guys try your best to deal with the fire dragon. Maybe I can touch the compass while lying down."
“Maybe there won’t be any golden eggs by then, and you won’t be able to enter the second round,” Rolf reminded.
Hope, who was walking behind, suddenly whispered, "You can grab it."
Rolf: “Ah?”
“That’s right, just because you can’t find the golden egg doesn’t mean you can’t get it.” Natalia grinned.
She looked at Wade and said, "Be careful, only the one who returns safely with the golden egg will be the winner."
Wade said calmly, "Then you should be careful too - when you are ready to look for the golden eggs, I might be lying in ambush there!"
The two of them smiled and looked at each other. The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if lightning flashed and there was a hidden sharpness.
Ganesh stroked his chin and suddenly said slowly: "You say...if everyone has the same idea as you, will there really be sixteen people left in the end?"
