Chapter 92: explain
This Dumbledore was still talking in Barabara's mouth. Iger looked around and saw a stand in the distance. Hermione and Elsa were waving to him. On the side were the Weasleys and Sirius. The stand opposite a group of people is the Slytherin stand. Compared with the hot atmosphere of the Gryffindor stand, the people in the Slytherin stand are more reserved, but because many parents' children will appear in this exam. , but not where to go with restraint, many parents are eager.
"Next, Mr. Weasley and Mr. Finnigan are invited to explain the exam!"
As Dumbledore's voice fell, the atmosphere in the surrounding stands became more and more fiery, and people were a little impatient, wanting to see the basilisk's demeanor, a roar sounded, and the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.
The iron cage in the center of the field rumbled, as if some monster was struggling inside.
"The Radisson and the Jets... Welcon Woods Hogwarts... I'm Ron Weasley!"
As soon as Ron's voice sounded, Iger almost laughed. Did the wizards also use this opening remark? And was Ron a little loud when he called his name?
Iger could see the Weasleys looking proudly at Dumbledore's stand. Dumbledore looked a little dazed. In the distance, Harry and Hermione in the stand almost fainted from laughter, holding on to the railing of the stand. Laughing straight up.
There was a commotion in the arena, accompanied by bursts of laughter, Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore's stand in the distance, squinted his eyes, and pursed his lips. It seemed that he had such a trace of remorse for his choice...
"Hello everyone, I'm Seamus Finnigan, we are the commentator for this exam, have you seen the iron cage in the middle of the field, everyone? This is the task for the students in this exam - Basilisk! From In a chamber that was closed a thousand years ago."
Fortunately, although Seamus is not good at magic, his mouth is indeed more reliable than Ron.
"Yes, basilisk! It is said that this was left by Slytherin before leaving Hogwarts. According to Mr. Slytherin's portrait, there were two basilisks, but one was made by Ms. Hufflepuff. Snake soup in Mr Gryffindor's stomach..."
Oh my god, did they go to the headmaster's office last night to ask for the portrait of Salazar himself?
Is it really good to say in this situation? I'd rather you say it was left to kill the students than you say that, it's too powerful to force it out...
And Slytherin, is it really good for you to tell them so bluntly?
Iger was blinded, seeing Ron chatting with pride, he didn't know what to do for a while.
How will this exam go on?
Seamus' expression looked a little stiff, but fortunately, he responded quickly, and immediately grabbed the microphone and cut off the conversation: "Of course, it was just a young snake, and it was the legendary great wizard that we faced today, and today our What the seniors have to face will be a giant monster that has been dormant for thousands of years! Below is the first academy that invites us to take the exam this time, the Hufflepuff Academy with the reputation of benevolence and harmony!"
In the distant stadium, the entrance gate opened, Hufflepuff's little badgers filed out, and there was a huge cheer in the entire stadium.
"If any of the four colleges has the most students, it must be Hufflepuff College, whose non-rejection method has kept them at the top of the four colleges, and the mild environment within the college has made Most of Hufflepuff's students are kinder, and among the wizards who have graduated, Hufflepuff has the fewest dark wizards." Seamus's introduction was very detailed, which made Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore slightly relieved , there is nothing special about this introduction.
"I've heard people say that the Hufflepuff students are stupid!" Ron's voice sounded again, Professor McGonagall's face instantly stiffened, and he almost cried, and the Weasleys in the stands also looked on their faces. He looked at his son in shock.
Many spectators in the venue looked at Ron with a bad look, but fortunately Ron was simply selling off, and then continued to say: "Until I asked Mr. Morriss for his opinion, he said People who think like this are stupid, they are called wise but stupid, and it is great wisdom to be indifferent to the world!"
Thank goodness, Ron, you said something human...
Iger breathed a sigh of relief, and finally he was not tricked...
There was a lot of cheers in the venue, and it seemed that the audience agreed with Ron's words very much.
Iger felt that listening to Ron's explanation was like a roller coaster, and his heart went up and down.
The little badgers who entered the venue waved to the parents in the stands from time to time, Seamus looked at Iger in the field and took over the topic: "Then we have Mr. Morriss, our acting professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, to help us. The seniors introduce the friends they are about to face!"
Iger calmly bowed slightly to the curious eyes on the surrounding stands, and then looked at the little badgers of Hufflepuff in front of him: "Are you ready?"
"Ready!" The voices of the little badgers were full of anger. Of course, Iger might have believed them without looking at their faces...
Iger shook the wand in his hand, and the black curtain shrouded in the iron cage suddenly floated up and slowly disappeared in mid-air. The sound of air-conditioning came from the field, and the audience looked at the iron cage in surprise.
The boos that Iger had expected did not appear, but instead, the exclamations came one after another.
Iger felt a little dazed. He was only more than thirty meters long, so why did he still look shocked?
Of course, what he didn't understand was that even the longest body of the fire dragon was only ten meters, and the danger of the basilisk was not under the fire dragon. Even if the basilisk had no eyes, the scales and snake skin were resistant to magic spells. Sex is not inferior to the fire dragon at all.
In the iron cage, the green scales of the basilisk reflect the sunlight, and the green is dazzling in the sunlight. Iger picked his wand at will, and the door of the iron cage opened. The changes in the air circulation around him immediately struggled violently.
"It's about to start, get ready." Iger's wand waved violently, the dense iron cables on the basilisk disappeared without a trace, and the tens of meters long body fell to the ground, and then entangled the body in a strange way. He raised his head high, sniffing the smell in the air and slowly climbed out of the iron gate.
Seeing the basilisk crawling out, a group of little badgers quickly divided into two rows. Most of the students in the sixth and seventh grades were in the front row. The fourth and fifth graders slowly stepped back and raised their wands, one after another. The white light slowly enveloped the front of the senior students, forming a shield of silver-white light.
Hufflepuff's little badgers chose a very simple formation. The juniors were in charge of defense, and the seniors were in charge of offense.
"The standard of this exam is that students who resist the attack of the basilisk for a quarter of an hour can be regarded as full marks. On average, there will be about 140 students in each college." The microphone said: "As a 5X magical animal recorded by the Ministry of Magic, according to the domestication regulations, each 5X creature requires thirty wizards who meet the Auror standard to control, which is very important for our seniors. It will be a very tough and difficult challenge!”
At the time of speaking, the basilisk had slowly emerged from the iron cage. Iger restrained his breath and stood quietly beside the formation of the students, with a small notebook floating beside the four deans not far away. , a shorthand quill on the small notebook is eagerly preparing to record something.
Professor Sprout's expression looked a little worried. As a respected herbalist, she is not as brainless as Iger, and she dares to be reckless about any monster...
The responsiveness of snakes is very high, at least compared with that of dragons, the responsiveness of the two is not on the same level. Although the basilisk has no dead eyes, the sharp fangs coupled with the highly sensitive responsiveness will undoubtedly make A nightmare for students.
"It seems that this basilisk is a little sluggish. According to Mr. Morriss, he squeezed a lot of venom several times after subduing this basilisk. Maybe it has something to do with this?" Ron looked at the arena. The basilisk joked.
As soon as the words fell, a scream rang out, and the basilisk, which seemed to be quiet and sluggish, tensed up suddenly, and swishly jumped towards the little badgers in the distance, and some girls in the phalanx had already screamed.
"Listen to this melodious scream, oh... I wonder if they can resist this invasion..." Seamus' breathing was a little short, his eyes fixed on the basilisk in the field: "What did I see? Faced with a lineup of basilisks that are dozens of feet away, they say Hufflepuffs are loyal and reliable, and it seems to be true."
The little badgers didn't actively wait for the basilisk's attack. A group of sixth- and seventh-grade students pulled out their wands and aimed them at the basilisk's head with a pale face, and fired a silent curse at the basilisk's big head.
Iger couldn't help feeling a little bit as he watched the red and white rays of light falling on the head of the basilisk.
The strength of a person's magic power can be seen by looking at his magic spell. Ordinary wizards are simply a white light spot flying by.
And Iger's spell is released like an endless beam of light, like Lux's ultimate move, like a laser gun...
Iger is not the only one who has this effect, Dumbledore's spell is also like this, and then Professor McGonagall, Professor McGonagall's spell is very durable and has high control, so it can also achieve that effect.
Looking at the wand whose tip was charred in his hand, Iger frowned slightly. He could feel the wand's dependence on him and his reluctance, but his increasingly violent magic made this wand a little unbearable. .
With the sound of 'clang', the sound from the field immediately attracted Iger's attention. The big head of the basilisk slammed into the shield in front of the students, and the white shield radiated ripples toward it. Spreading around, the flames in a group of seventh graders' wands spread out immediately, sweeping towards the Basilisk.
Basilisks are afraid of fire, but it is only natural. In fact, the threat of flames to basilisks is not high. Iger thinks that this approach should be of little practical use.
As expected, the basilisk's thick tail swept toward the surroundings, and the flames spread in the field were extinguished immediately. It's: I'm going to tear you apart...
"Wow... It seems that this big guy is provoked..." Ron teased: "What are the Hufflepuff seniors going to do? Forced defense? Maybe the Basilisk can like their taste!"
"Not necessarily, look, Cedric's firm little eyes, wait, he protected a few girls behind him... oh baby..." Seamus suddenly laughed.
However, the teasing of the two did not make the audience feel relaxed. Some parents whose children were among them could not help standing up anxiously, looking at the situation on the field with worried eyes.
Iger nodded slightly as he looked at the still stable formation in the arena. It seemed that the Hufflepuff students were not too flustered by this situation.
In fact, what Iger didn't know was that the students who were often bombarded by his dementors had developed a habit of being immune to fear.
Basically, a large part of them can make the dementors stick to their faces without being chaotic, at most, their faces are a little pale.
Inside the arena, the basilisk raised its head high, sniffed its nose, as if looking for a way to eat these guys in front of it, its sharp fangs nailed to the white mask in front of it.
The faces of the sixth and seventh graders were very gloomy. Their attacks did not have any obvious impact on Snake Gourd. In desperation, they could only devote themselves to passive defense. A group of people hurriedly reinforced the shield in front of them. Block the attack of the former big guy below.
The basilisk's attack was very fast, and the little badgers' defense was also very stable, but they still couldn't stop the basilisk for too long, and soon the cover in front of the little badgers was torn apart.
Professor Sprout looked at his students worriedly. Iger looked at the pocket watch in his hand, nearly ten minutes had passed.
The basilisk responded quickly. As soon as he felt the appearance of the gap, he immediately stuck his head out and opened his mouth to the students Iger raised his wand in his hand, and was ready to take the basilisk. It was taken back, but it seemed that the group of little badgers hadn't given up. A girl didn't know what to pull out of her arms, and suddenly threw a black thing into the mouth of the basilisk.
"Go to hell!" The girl's crisp voice sounded a little angry.
Immediately, Iger heard a puff, and the basilisk's nasal cavity spewed viscous liquid and roared. A group of little badgers hurriedly took advantage of this time to re-strengthen the shield. The sixth and seventh grade students stepped forward to strengthen the shield again. .
No way, if you want to attack, you must give up maintaining defense, otherwise the fourth and fifth grade students alone will not be able to resist the attack of the basilisk.
Even Iger can't do this, even if he has a continuous iron armor spell, Iger dare not be slapped by the basilisk's thick tail...
Of course, Iger has a more advanced defense method, but he doesn't need it.
It's over!
