Seeing that the students were almost done eating, Dumbledore stepped back on stage.
"Everyone, please pay attention. In view of the fact that the Triwizard Tournament is too difficult and dangerous, the Ministry of Magic has issued a new regulation, and the Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, Mr. Barty Crouch, will be invited to explain further."
The small door next to the teacher's seat opened, and Barty Crouch, old Crouch, came out from that side door.
Behind the door stood a cripple with a prosthetic eye in his right eye.
That's Alastor Moody, nicknamed "Mad Eye"
He is a senior Auror at the Ministry of Magic and is said to have captured half of Azkaban's prisoners.
Old Crouch went to the podium and was about to speak, when the dome of the hall began to convulse again.
Originally, the sky was clear and the stars were shining brightly.
As a result, the next moment turned into a dark cloud, with lightning and thunder.
Seeing this, Mad-Eye Moody rushed out and threw a spell at the dome, and the dome returned to normal.
Dumbledore took advantage of this moment to step up to greet him.
Then Mad-Eye Moody pushed it aside, took out a jug from his arms, and took a gulp of the liquid inside.
"What was he drinking?" Hermione asked Zicomo.
"Who knows? "Zero Three Three" might be a compound decoction?" Zicomo said jokingly.
Hermione was only joking as her cousin, but she didn't know that Zicomo was telling the truth.
After seeing Mad-Eye Moody's actions, Zicomo knew.
The Mad-Eye Moody in front of him is not himself, but Barty Crouch Jr.
He didn't expect that Voldemort would save Barty as he did in the original book.
Being able to escape under Dumbledore's pursuit for nearly a year, and finally return to England to rescue the old team, I have to say that Comrade Lao Fu is still a bit powerful.
With that said, the old Crouch on stage should have been controlled by Voldemort's Imperius Curse.
Zicomo knew where the Ministry of Magic had the courage to rerun the Triwizard Tournament.
I am afraid that it is indispensable that Voldemort is behind the scenes.
As old Crouch, the director of the International Magic Cooperation Department, it was easy to pass the proposal to re-run the Triwizard Tournament.
However, this re-run is not without conditions, as you can see from old Crouch's next speech.
"After careful consideration, the Ministry of Magic has made a final decision. For safety reasons, all students under the age of 17 are not allowed to register for this Triwizard Tournament."5
Before the voice of old Crouch fell, there was already an uproar in the audience.
One student even shouted: "It's not fair, f**k the shit decision!"
But no matter how much they objected, it was no use, it was a decision made by the Ministry of Magic.
To be honest, Lao Fu also wanted to lower his age by another two years, so that Harry could participate in this competition with justification.
He also didn't have to specifically let Barty Crouch Jr. operate behind the scenes to make Harry a contestant.
After all, such a move would undoubtedly be a shocker and cause Dumbledore's attention.
Seeing the noise in the hall getting louder and louder, Dumbledore shouted: "Quiet! Here's an announcement on how to select the participating warriors.
When the students were all quiet, Dumbledore walked to the center of the podium.
There is a golden pagoda more than two meters high.
The urn here is literally, not the kind used in ancient oriental countries to store ashes.
Dumbledore took out his wand and tapped it on the urn. The surface of the urn slowly melted, revealing the contents inside.
This is a half-person-high cup, although it is golden like the urn, but it is covered with traces left by the years.
A pale blue flame burned above the cup, which reminded Zicomo of Grindelwald's fiery fire.
Different from the orange-red flames of ordinary fiery fire, the fiery fire of this generation of Dark Lords is this light blue.
This should have something to do with Grindelwald's transformation of the Fiery Curse.
Grindelwald's fire can not only be freely controlled, but can even be used to test the loyalty of his followers.
Thinking of this, Zicomo also intends to study Fiery Fire and make some preparations for Melina to burn the tree soon.
He wanted to see if Li Huo could replace Melina in burning the golden tree's rejected thorns.
But that's a story later, let's go back to the scene in front of us.
"This is the Goblet of Fire.
Dumbledore said: "Students who want to sign up for the Tournament, please write their names on parchment and throw them into the fire by this time Thursday night.
"I know some students are unwilling to be restricted by age and can't participate in the competition. I will set magic on the Goblet of Fire and restrict students under the age of 17 from participating in the competition.
Without waiting for the students in the audience to make noise again, Dumbledore added: "Of course, if someone can break through my magic limit and put the registered parchment into it, the registration will be considered valid.
Dumbledore's addition to this is actually a hint of Zicomo.
He believes that with Zicomo's strength, he can definitely break through his magic.
Dumbledore naturally hopes that his own school will win the honor of being the champion of the Triwizard Tournament.
Zicomo, however, wasn't interested in the Triwizard Tournament.
If he went to participate in the competition, it would definitely be a crushing scene, and it would have no meaning at all.
What's more, he still has a lot of things to deal with at the junction.
During the summer vacation, he has not been online for two months because of traveling, and he doesn't know if Melina misses him.
However, Zicomo urged Hermione beside him, "Would you like to try it?
"What am I going to do?"
Hermione shoved a piece of roast meat into her mouth and looked at Zicomo with some confusion.
"Go to the Triwizard Tournament, just to practice your actual combat ability," said 35 Zicomo.
"Are you sure this game will give me the best of myself?" Hermione asked.
Her current strength is comparable to that of an elite professor.
Hermione wondered if competing at her level would really give her a workout?
"Don't worry, there will be opportunities for you to do your best," Zicomo replied.
He was referring to Voldemort, who would appear at the end of the game.
Zicomo is going to use Voldemort as Hermione's whetstone.
But Hermione didn't know it, she just thought that these people in the wizarding world were playing really big.
In this competition, she has the opportunity to do her best with her strength, no wonder the casualties in previous competitions were so large.
Hermione nodded and agreed.
"Remind again, please be careful when registering. If you are selected, it means that there is no way out, because from that moment, the Triwizard Tournament has already begun..35
Dumbledore re-emphasized the dangers of the Tournament, and then declared that the dinner was over.
The little wizards got up one after another and walked towards their dormitory.
Incidentally, Hermione has moved into a "Zen Garden" since the relationship with Zicomo
.
One is for the convenience of learning, and the other is because of Hermione's little thought.
From her point of view, since Lanni has already lived in, she naturally can't be resigned to being left behind.
Then the students of Gryffindor saw this scene, Zicomo was walking towards his room, followed by Lanne and Hermione.
But everyone is not surprised, after all, La Ni has lived in Zicomo's "Zen Garden" since she entered school.
Every time Zicomo went back to the dormitory, Lani followed behind him.
Now that there is one more Hermione, it is not unacceptable.
No wonder! They are so envious!
The boys envied that Zicomo could live with the two girls La Ni and Hermione, and the girls envied that La Ni and Hermione could live with Zicomo.
All in all, very envious.
A dormitory has four beds, and Zicomo's dorm has one vacant right now.
They even wanted to ask if they could live in.
But thinking about it, they knew it was impossible, so they just thought about it in their hearts.
The Hogwarts students went back to their rooms to sleep.
As for the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, they lived in the means of transport when they came.
Their carriages and boats are magical creations that have been widened by the Invisible Stretching Charm, and the students who live in their respective schools have no problem.
It wasn't that Hogwarts treated them poorly, not even a place for them to live.
In fact, due to the scarcity of the wizarding community, every year Hogwarts students are unable to live in the school's dormitories.
It's just that no matter which college's dormitory is, it can't accommodate the students of the next school.
The principals of the other two schools were also reluctant to take their students apart because it was not easy to take care of them 1.0.
So they simply lived in the transportation they came in.
After Zicomo returned to the dormitory, he lay on the bed, opened the system panel, and started the annual draw mini-game session.
Seeing her cousin lying quietly on the bed in a daze, Hermione asked Lani beside her curiously, "What is my cousin doing?
"Probably looking for a new game," Lani replied.
Lani knew that every time Zicomo came up with a game, it represented a new world.
Lani is always curious about the new world.
So she specifically asked Zicomo how often it connects to the new world.
Zicomo told her that the frequency is once a year, and the time is just when the school starts.
While Hermione was talking to Lani, Zicomo had already drawn a new game from the system.
"Floating Island Story", a 2D open world pixel wind placement type sandbox survival game.
Players have to control a white villain, start from scratch, and continuously improve their strength by collecting resources and forging equipment.
After you have a certain amount of capital, you can roam the world and build your own place of residence.
