Chapter 610 The Unopenable Golden Egg
Of course Rove didn't know that with Malfoy's enthusiastic help, he "escaped a disaster" and also lost an opportunity to "justify self-defense".
Otherwise, he would be able to help the Death Eaters eliminate a competitor before the start of the match... It can only be said that it is a pity.
Rove quickly returned to the Quidditch field with Shirley, Hermione and Fleur.
Five referees, including Ludo, are sitting on golden chairs, and they are about to give each warrior their score in the first event.
This time, the 100-point system was adopted. If any of the golden eggs, ghost grass, and dragon crystals were collected, 15 points would be awarded.
The warrior who collected all three will be rewarded with an additional five points.
The remaining five referees, each with ten points, will evaluate the performance of the Warriors on the court and finally give their own scores.
Therefore, no matter how the referees scored, Rove and the others guaranteed a basic score of 50 points.
As for the four Beauxbaton students who abandoned the match yesterday, since they didn't collect anything, the upper limit was only fifty points from the referees.
Of course, based on their stretching performance, the referees could not give full marks, not even high marks. Only Mrs. Maxim gave five points out of conscience, and most of the other referees gave one to three points.
Karkaroff even gloated and gave all zero points.
Maxim smiled on the surface, but he thought in his heart that he would wait for Durmstrang's students to come out, and then take revenge severely.
Come on, hurt each other!
The originally noisy Quidditch field also fell silent. The students listened intently and unconsciously held their breath.
They soon saw the first referee - Madame Maxime - raise her wand into the air.
A long silver ribbon-like thing erupted from the wand, twisting to form a large "9".
The first referee scored 9 points, and the crowd burst into applause and cheers.
Mrs. Maxim originally wanted to give Rove full marks, but she deducted one point when she saw that he went to find Shirley first in the competition but failed to find her own Furong.
Maxim pointed to his own score, then stared at Rove... This is pointing at you kid, understand? !
Of course Rove didn't understand, and he was a little baffled. Maxim stared at him fiercely, and pointed at "nine". Could it be that...
Rove's eyes widened. Could it be that Mrs. Maxim was implying that he would secretly go to her room to find her at nine o'clock tonight?
Next came Dumbledore, smiling and spraying a "10" into the air without hesitation.
Dumbledore gave Rove full marks, making the audience cheer even louder, and then Ludo Bagman gave the same full marks.
The one-eyed Director of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic—Otavi Acus—he gave it a nine, which is no less.
But when it came to Karkaroff, he raised his wand, paused for a moment, and then a number - "4" - spewed out of the wand.
The Quidditch arena immediately fell silent, and a moment later, a louder noise rang out. Many students stood up from their chairs, their voices full of anger.
Rove's performance is obvious to all, not to mention a full score, but he still got eight points to start, and Karkaroff undoubtedly scored low on purpose, and of course the students collectively protested.
Others threw things in their hands towards the referees, and a stinky shoe almost hit Karkaroff on the head.
Although Karkaroff gave a low score, Rove finally got the highest score of "93".
In comparison, Shirley scored only 85 points. She got the golden egg alone, but the ghost grass is mainly for Rove to distract the mud fish dragon, so his performance is naturally not as dazzling as him.
Hermione and Fleur didn't even get the ghost grass. They got it with the help of Rove and Shirley. In the end, they only got 78 and 75 points.
Fleur's performance is actually about the same as Hermione's, but she has the lowest score, because Karkaroff only gave Fleur one point because she got lost in the cave for a day.
Madam Maxim gritted her teeth, waiting for Krum to come out and give him a little shock.
After scoring, Ludo came to Rove's side, looking very happy, as if he had successfully completed his first project just now.
"You all did a good job!" he praised:
"Next, I have a few words to say.
Before the second project will start at 9:30 am on February 24 next year, you can rest for a long time. "
"But we left some questions for you to consider!" Ludo said:
"The golden egg you hold in your hand, which under certain circumstances will be able to open, will give you a clue about the second item."
"Remember, you can't open it violently, special skills are required!"
Ludo blinked and continued: "As for the ghost grass and dragon crystal, they are as important as the golden eggs, and they are related to the second project.
Are you clear? No problem? Well, let's go! "
When Rove and the others left the arena, the auditorium became noisy again, but instead of fans rushing down, they were besieging Durmstrang's students.
Can't beat Karkaroff, and can't bully these Durmstrang students?
Let you walk out of the Quidditch field today, those are students from Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, the martial arts are not enough!
On the way back to the castle, the four discussed the game and studied the golden egg.
Hermione weighed the golden egg with both hands. Except for the shape of the three-headed dragon carved on it, other places were smooth and looked extremely tight.
"Bagman said that opening the golden egg will give us clues about the second project." Hermione said puzzledly, "but I don't see where I can open it."
Rove also didn't see that there was a ring of grooves on the golden egg in the original time and space, which could easily pry the egg open.
But in the air, there is only noise, and songs can only be heard in water.
Rove thought of this, waved his wand, and a large cloud of clear water appeared in the air, and then he put the golden egg into the water ball.
But at that moment, a terrifying, piercing scream came out from the golden egg, resembling the noise of a saw pulling wood.
Hermione covered her ears with her hands and said loudly, "What's that sound?"
"It's like the cry of a female ghost." Fu Rong frowned and said, "Our second project won't be related to female ghosts, right?"
"Probably not." Rove retrieved the golden egg from the water, shook his head and said, "But it seems that this method can't open it."
"How about trying the fire?" Xue Li said thoughtfully, "This is a fire dragon egg."
This idea is indeed feasible, Rove snapped his fingers again, and burned the golden egg with a ball of flame.
The golden egg still didn't open, nor did it let out a scream like a female ghost, but the three-headed dragon engraved on it let out a roar like a fire dragon.
The four of them fell silent as they stared at the golden egg that could not be opened.
