Chapter 512: first project
Chapter 512 The First Project
For the three people in the locker room, time seemed to have stopped since they got the quill.
Ludo Bagman was quite cheerful and tried to tell some jokes to liven up the atmosphere...but no one listened to what he said.
"Okay, it seems you don't like to hear jokes." Bagman said, and he didn't care. "I'm going to go out temporarily because I have to explain to the audience. You must remember not to let go of your hands. The quill inside, do you know?
So...Mr. Crumb...can I say a few words to you? Come outside? "
“Oh…” Krum raised his head in confusion.
Although he didn't know why Bagman called him out, the other party was one of the referees of the Triwizard Tournament after all. He just hesitated for a moment, got up and followed Bagman to the passage outside the locker room.
"What are they going to say?" Furong frowned: "Is there anything else that needs to be explained separately?"
“Who knows.” Kyle said casually.
He noticed that the cheers and laughter outside were getting louder and louder, buzzing in his ears.
At this time, a whistle came from somewhere.
Immediately afterwards, Kyle found that the quill in his hand was getting hotter and hotter, accompanied by a huge suction force.
For a moment, Kyle felt as if his whole body was being sucked into the quill. When he came to his senses again, he found that he had appeared in the middle of the Quidditch pitch...with deafening cheers ringing in his ears.
Kyle looked around and saw that he was the only one in the huge field... Strange, where are Fleur and Krum? Didn't they say they were going to compete together?
“Welcome to the Triwizard Tournament!”
At this time, Bagman's voice sounded from the stands.
"As you can see, the warriors are already in place, but they are in separate places and cannot see each other... Of course, we can all see it. The only thing we have to consider is who to look at. …It’s a real problem.”
Bagman made a wisecrack. Although it wasn't very funny, it still answered Kyle's doubts.
"First is the first level." Bagman shouted loudly: "The warriors must pass through this door to reach the next level. Let us wish all warriors good luck... By the way, the little guy who is responsible for guarding the key But it’s very difficult.”
Door?
Kyle was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that there was indeed an oak door standing where the goal post had been.
But there was nothing around it, as if someone had forgotten it here.
Kyle walked over immediately.
There was indeed only one door, and he could even go around it easily...but nothing changed around him. Obviously, doing so did not count as passing.
“The Alaho Cave is open!”
Then Kyle tried to unlock the spell, but the moment he chanted the spell, a blue shadow rushed over from nowhere.
Kyle ducked instinctively.
“Creak!” There were several obvious scratches on the oak door.
At the same time, he also saw clearly what it was, a cat, but it was much larger than an ordinary cat, and its eyes were also very large, like two pebbles glowing blue.
Civet!
And around its neck, there is a big golden key hanging.
So that’s the case, no wonder he could see Professor Locknear at Hogwarts.
This Beauxbatons professor is the most famous master of magical animals in France. He especially likes civet cats and takes them with him wherever he goes. When he was in the Fire Dragon Sanctuary, he took one with him.
Thinking of this, Kyle's expression changed and he said softly: "Shaqir?"
The civet didn't react at all, its big bright blue eyes still staring at him.
Needless to say, he had the wrong cat. Although a little disappointed, it is not surprising, or to be expected.
At the Fire Dragon Sanctuary, the civet cat named Shakir had become very familiar with him. Professor Locknear also knew this, so it was naturally impossible to bring it over to reduce the difficulty for Kyle.
After all, Fleur is a serious Beauxbatons warrior.
“Aha, now everyone has met the little guy who is responsible for guarding the keys... What should you do... A friendly reminder, don’t use magic on civet cats easily, because...
Oh, Viktor Krum is so impatient, if they were more patient, they would know that once the civet is harmed by magic, it will split into two... Oops, now there are three... What will he do! "
To be honest, Bagman's words actually revealed a lot of information, and strictly speaking it was against the rules, but no one seemed to care.
Kyle has known the characteristics of civets for a long time, and Fleur naturally didn't need to say more. The only one who didn't know, Krum, had already stepped on the thunder before he prompted him.
So...it has no effect at all, not at all.
There were exclamations from everywhere in the audience.
“Oh, look over there, you’re such a smart girl...” Bagman continued to shout loudly: “Oh, what a pity, I thought I succeeded, she should be more patient.”
Kyle listened for a while and stopped paying attention.
Don't think about it, this level is the Beauxbatons level. Fleur will most likely be able to pass it easily, but Krum will need to work hard. After all, the split civet will become more irritable than before and not so easy to deal with.
Of course, only for Krum.
Kyle looked at the civet in front of him. It was still standing there, as if it would not attack as long as it didn't touch the door.
Kyle put away his wand, slowly lowered his body, and placed his hands on the ground.
Civet cats are very vigilant creatures, especially after seeing the wand. In their eyes, Kyle's current action is the least threatening.
And for him, there is another advantage to doing this, that is, after lowering his body, people in the stands cannot see his mouth.
“Oh, well done!” came Bagman’s surprised voice. "Our youngest warrior has also found a way."
But Kyle didn’t pay attention to what he said.
After he put his hand on the ground, the civet cat in front of him was indeed not as alert as before. It gradually flattened its arched back, and its tail no longer twitched from side to side.
Kyle slowly moved over there, and at the same time put on the hood of his robe to cover his face as much as possible.
When the civet arched its back again and let out a low purr, Kyle immediately stopped and moved his mouth that was covered by the hood slightly, "Don't be nervous, little guy, I just want to use that Just open the door with the key and I'll return it to you soon."
The civet’s bright blue eyes flashed and it purred again.
“Is it your job to guard the keys so that no strangers can touch them?
I know, but I am not a stranger. I know Shakir, a beautiful female civet. Do you know her? "
“Woo woo…”
"Oh, of course I know it. I also know that a small piece of fur is missing on the toes of its hind legs... That was caused by it accidentally stepping on the student's failed alchemy item."
“Woo…”
"Right, let me just say that I am not a stranger. In fact, I have a very good relationship with Professor Locknear... He also told me that you like to eat long-bearded barracuda the most, which is the kind with two long beards. , a dried fish with three golden threads on its body..."
Professor Locknear naturally didn't say this. This was all Kyle's guess... After all, as long as it is a cat, no one can refuse the long-bearded barracuda, including cat leopards and poisonous leopards.
That thing is a hard currency among these magical animals, but the price is too expensive, three pieces in a bag, ten galleons, and it is still difficult to buy.
