Chapter 588
Now, Harry felt very panicked.
He pointed at his nose and said in a daze: "Who? Me? I'm going to the semi-finals?"
Harry's expression was very much like the little monster who was fooled by the nine-headed monster to kill Sun Wukong.
Looking at the serious expressions of Dumbledore and Black in front of him, Harry once thought that the two were enemies pretending to be polyjuice potion.
Otherwise, why would he push himself to die?
"Pah!" Black put his hands on Harry's shoulders and said with a "sincere" look: "Harry! Haven't you ever thought about shining in a competition like the semi-finals? Don't you want your heroic figure to be forever imprinted in the hearts of those beautiful girls? Don't you want to prove that you are a real savior who is not just a savior in vain?" Don't you want your good friends to say to you, you are awesome? ! Don't you have confidence in us who are going to help you win the championship? ! "
Looking into Black's eyes, Harry suddenly felt his blood boiling inexplicably.
No... why am I so excited inexplicably! Forget it, never mind... I want to participate! I want to win the championship!
Harry's breathing also became heavy. Although Black's chicken soup was a bit cliché, it just scratched Harry's itch.
Wizards have always been in awe of Harry because he defeated the mysterious man. At the beginning of the school year, other little wizards also had this attitude. But as time passed, , those little wizards soon felt that the savior was nothing more than that...
Although he always thought it was better this way, he didn't have to be as conspicuous as a panda wherever he went. However, he still felt a little disappointed in his heart. After all, he was a teenager, who didn't have a strong mind?
In fact, Harry also wanted to prove that he was not in vain! And now, Black seemed to have given him a suggestion that he couldn't refuse!
"But... the age line..."
Dumbledore smiled and said, "This is easy. I will remove the age limit. Let all children participate in the vote. ”
The age limit was set before to prevent students of lower grades and insufficient abilities from being selected by the Goblet of Fire. After all, sometimes, people with good moral character may not necessarily have enough strength.
But now, this will not happen, because the Goblet of Fire will be tampered with by Black. No matter how others vote, students of lower grades will not be selected, except Harry Potter!
So, even if Harry is selected, he will not be stabbed in the back by others. After all, everyone voted for their own names. As for the seniors... because the plan has been changed this time, we will still go with the repaired Goblet of Fire.
Anyway, Phil 780 Thompson only said not to repair the Goblet of Fire, and Harry must be allowed to enter.
Black successfully "persuaded" Dumbledore to give up the age limit, and then legitimately manipulated Harry into a warrior.
RelativelyThe sudden addition of a person like Harry makes it seem much more low-key. It is not an exaggeration to say that the mission was completed perfectly.
"But... why must I participate in the competition?" Harry's enthusiasm gradually subsided, and his rationality finally returned.
"Because the other party's target is you. According to the information we have learned, they want to use you as a sacrifice and then resurrect Voldemort! So, in order to lure out the mouse hiding in the dark, we need you to make some sacrifices!"
"I agree!" When Harry heard that he was asked to stop Voldemort from resurrecting, he agreed without hesitation, even though it was very dangerous for him!
Black and Dumbledore smiled at each other. Then Black left first on the pretext of having something to do.
When Black left the headmaster's office, Dumbledore smiled and said, "Harry, you are indeed an excellent Gryffindor... You agreed to such a dangerous mission without hesitation. You are worthy of the title of a warrior. As a former member of Gryffindor, I am proud of you, but... of course we can't let you take risks."
As Dumbledore said this, he took out the puppet ball from his pocket. "This is the alchemy prop I asked the alchemist master, Nicolas Flamel, to make..."
"Nicolas Flamel? The master who made the Philosopher's Stone?" Harry's eyes lit up. The one who could make the Philosopher's Stone must be a very powerful alchemist! Therefore, the props he gave must be very reliable!
Dumbledore nodded, "Yes..." Then, he told Harry the effects and uses of the alchemy ball.
At this time, Harry's heart was full of excitement. Just now, he thought he had to go on his own, and he was not afraid. Now, let him control a puppet clone to participate in the competition? With his life assured, what else is he afraid of!
"Don't worry! I will definitely complete the task!" Harry's eyes flashed with excitement. I will definitely prove that I am not unworthy of the reputation!
...
After leaving the principal's office, Black took the Goblet of Fire and went to Nicolas Flamel's house. Nicolas Flamel was already waiting for him in his laboratory.
"Goblet of Fire... I saw this cup once when it was just made. Although it looks rough, it is an amazing creation. I have always been curious about who made it."
Nicholas Flamel took the Goblet of Fire, put on the alchemy glasses, and began to examine it carefully.
"Well... there has been tampering here... there is also a powerful Confusion Charm..." Nicolas Flamel murmured.
"I think the same." Black said.
"So... how do you plan to repair it? Or, where do you want to modify it?" Nicolas Flamel asked with a smile.
"Huh? How did you know I was going to tamper with the Goblet of Fire?" Black asked in surprise.
"If you just want to repair the Goblet of Fire, why would you need me? With your level, you can do it yourself, unless... you want to do something special." Nicolas Flamel took off his glasses and looked at Black with a smile.
"You're right, I do have to do something about it..." Blake told Nicolas Flamel roughly what happened before.
After all, Nicolas Flamel has hundreds of years of experience. Telling him about the matter might get him some advice. Moreover, knowing the whole story, Nicolas Flamel can also understand what he is doing
"So, in the eyes of the tower, your mission here is to tamper with the Goblet of Fire on the premise of deceiving me?"
Nicholas Flamel hit the point in one sentence.
"Yes... Moreover, this method that can deceive you must not make the people in the tower feel fake... Let them think that I really deceived you, not that you are cooperating with me to act... But, this is difficult..."
Blake now regrets a little, regretting why he said that he would repair the Goblet of Fire with Nicolas Flamel. To completely deceive a legendary alchemist in alchemy? Even Blake would have a hard time doing it, unless he casts the Oblivion Charm on Nicolas Flamel...
"Well... it's very simple. Just repair the Goblet of Fire in front of me, and then modify it later." Nicolas Flamel said.
Blake said worriedly: "But... the Goblet of Fire is an antique. It's hard to mess with it once. If I modify it again, I'm afraid the core inside will be broken..."
It's like a piece of paper that has been erased many times with an eraser. Although it can be modified once or twice, if it is modified too much, the paper will be torn. The Goblet of Fire is like an old piece of paper. I'm afraid it will break just by picking it up. How can I modify it over and over again?
Nicolas Flamel smiled, "You are smart all your life, but you are confused for a moment... The parts that are easy to break... Can't you just replace them?"
Blake's eyes widened, "Hiss... You are right!"
He bit his finger and began to outline various modification plans in his mind, "I just need to replace the core with wood of the same material, and then... I will prepare two cores with different functions! One is a core that can be repaired normally after installation, and the other is a modified core that meets the requirements of the tower!"
"That's right." Nicolas Flamel smiled, "It's an old item, and it's normal that the core cannot be used. It's not surprising to replace it. And these two new cores, as long as they can be disassembled and replaced at any time, you can reasonably deceive me!"
"That's right, I just need to use two cores, install the repaired core here, and replace it with the tampered core after taking it away... This makes sense, and the tower won't be suspicious because of this." Blake nodded.
What does it mean to have an old person in the family is like having a treasure? Even the smartest people have things they don't consider... It's great to have an old man like this to help give advice!
"So... let's get started?" Nicolas Flamel put on his gloves.
"Okay! Get started!"
...
Early in the morning, a piece of news made Hogwarts boil.
"What? Is this true? Professor Green suggested that Dumbledore remove the age limit, and then... Dumbledore actually agreed?"
"Yes! Not only Dumbledore agreed! The principals of other schools also agreed!"
"But... why? Isn't it because the competition is too dangerous that the age limit is set?" (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"Originally, but... wasn't the Goblet of Fire repaired by Professor Green? He and Mr. Flamel slightly modified the rules of the Goblet of Fire on the basis of the original! Let the Goblet of Fire, which originally only judges whether a person's qualities can become a qualified warrior, judge a person's qualities while also judging a person's ability!"
"In other words, if I have enough strength and the qualities of a warrior, then even if I am under the age limit, the Goblet of Fire can still choose me?"
"That's right!"
The Weasley twins went crazy: "Ah! Great Black Green! We love you forever! ”
As a result, all the students who wanted to participate but were not old enough became excited.
When the news came out, only Angelina was nervous, because the opponents she had to face suddenly increased many times! This made her position as a warrior shaky.
As for the warriors of other schools, they were much calmer, because there were only a few students who came with the team. The principals did not plan to go back and let the lower grade students come for the test. Facing the defeated opponents, they still had confidence.
That afternoon, a notice was posted on the bulletin board that the repaired Goblet of Fire would be put back in the auditorium at dinner time. At that time, everyone could put their own name in the Goblet of Fire!
…
Blake's office.
Blake sat upright, sweating profusely... Of course, this was all acting.
Because Phil Thompson was standing in front of him.
"You want me to be exposed? "The girl's beautiful eyes were filled with anger.
"I didn't..."
"No? Then why should the Goblet of Fire be able to detect strength?" The girl said angrily.
Of course she knew her ability. If even strength could be detected, what would Krum have to do? Moreover, she could foresee that someone would be staring at the Goblet of Fire at that time. Then, it would be very difficult for her to quietly cast the Confusion Spell on the Goblet of Fire again and make the Goblet of Fire ignore her name! If the warrior became her, then her lurking would be meaningless!
"Don't worry... After returning from Nick Flame, I changed the core of the Goblet of Fire." Black took out a core that was shining with a faint blue light and placed it on the table.
"Now, no matter how many names are put into the Goblet of Fire, the ones that come out will be fixed people." Black said in a low voice.
The girl's face eased, "Who are the fixed people...?" ”
“The names of the other schools’ champions remain the same, but the Hogwarts champion will be Harry Potter…” Black said cautiously.
The girl was silent for a moment, then said: "You... did a good job... But, according to Harry Potter's strength, how can he win in the end?"
According to her plan, there will be five warriors in the semi-finals, and Black's approach will turn it back to four warriors, so that it will not be so abrupt. But... it will be much more difficult for me to make Harry Potter win the championship.
After all, she originally planned to use Angelina's identity. As a student of Gryffindor, that is, Harry's senior, she can use this identity to give Harry some help.
Black asked in surprise: "You want Harry Potter to win the game?"
"Of course! Otherwise, why would I let him participate? Only in this way can I..." When it comes to the key point, the girl shut up.
Blake asked tentatively, "Why do you have to be so deliberate? As long as I take action, I can bring the person to you without anyone noticing."
"If you really do this, I can do it myself, and you don't have to do anything at all." The girl said coldly.
"Oh..." Blake closed his mouth and didn't ask any more questions. But he already had a guess in his mind.
Merlin just said that the girl came to make a deal with the god of death not long ago, but didn't say when exactly. Blake originally thought it was a few hours before he went in.
But now it seems... maybe she had already gone to the Twilight Zone before she came to Hogwarts with the Durmstrang team! In fact, this is the only way to make sense. They care so much about Voldemort's life and death, and they have mastered the method of going to the Twilight Zone. Of course, it is impossible for them to delay going to the Twilight Zone for so long!
If it were Blake, if the person he cared about died and going to the Twilight Zone could save him, then he would go in at that time. In other words, their intervention in the semi-finals may be one of the tasks to make a deal with the god of death!
"Don't worry, Miss Thompson. Leave the task of helping Harry win to me. I am a professor and a good friend of Harry. It is reasonable for me to help him overcome the difficulties."
The girl looked at Black, and a look of doubt flashed across her face, "You are quite active?"
"It's all for the benefit of the tower, Miss Thompson... Of course... If the tower can give some valuable knowledge as a reward after the success..." Black said a little shyly.
The doubtful look on the girl's face slowly disappeared. Black had just completed the first stage of brainwashing, so it was a bit fake to say that he would go through fire and water for the benefit of the tower.
Generally, members who have undergone this stage of brainwashing still have selfish motives. Although it is impossible for them to leak the secrets of the organization, it is normal for them to be unwilling to participate in actions against their relatives and friends.
That’s why Fei’er doubted Blake’s enthusiasm. However, after hearing that Blake was seeking knowledge from the tower, she put aside her doubts. Because brainwashingIn the first stage, although there are still selfish motives, personal desires will also be magnified...
After all, only by magnifying personal desires can the tower control its members more easily. It can be seen that Blake has been completely brainwashed.
Fei'er said coldly: "Just do as you say! However, in order to make the plan go smoothly, I will also participate in the competition."
"But, the Warriors have already..."[]
Fei'er interrupted Blake coldly, "You don't need to worry about this. You should worry more about how to let that stupid boy named Potter win."
Tsk, let you be arrogant for a few more days! When I find out the situation of the tower, I will definitely do that to you a hundred times! A hundred times! Blake thought with his head down. .
