Chapter 404 Knight Duel (Two in One)
Soon, the first round of scoring came to an end. Amidst the cheers of the little wizards, several brave men temporarily left the central field.
And Minister Francois nodded slightly, stood up and raised his wand: "The sound is like a bell." He waved his wand lightly and said: "The next stage is the second stage of the first round, which is also the most popular among everyone." stage of anticipation."
"That's the knight's duel stage!" As Francois spoke, Madame Maxime beside him clapped her hands lightly.
In the sound of impassioned music, four knights on horses galloped from another entrance of the arena, and each of them carried a large banner on their backs with various animals painted on them.
Soon, the four knights circled the arena with cheers and then slowly parked their horses in front of the judges' bench. It wasn't until the horses stopped that the little wizards realized that these four were not real knights at all.
They are statue knights made of stone, but their movements are so flexible that they don't want to be the state that the statue can show.
"Are they really statues?" Ron muttered. "They can't be normal people with a special coat of paint?"
"It's not Ron." Hermione shook her head. "This is the guardian knight of Beauxbaton College, the statue of the souls of the twelve knights left by Emperor Charlemagne."
"Twelve Knights?" Ron shook his head: "It's kind of like a storybook."
Hermione curled her lips and glanced at Ron: "But this is recorded in "Beauxbatons: The Manor of Wine and Knights."
"What a vulgar title."
While the few people were chatting, the four knights knelt on one knee and faced Madam Maxim: "Madam, good afternoon."
"Please get up, all knights." Madam Maxim looked at the four of them respectfully and then nodded lightly: "I will trouble everyone today."
"It doesn't matter." The leading knight shook his head, turned around and got on his horse, and then quietly looked at the resting brave men in the distance.
"Next, according to the order of drawing lots, Mr. Krum, please come forward."
The order of the competition in the second stage still refers to the order of the previous draw, but the opponent's draw will start again.
Krum nodded slightly, then turned over and rode on the rune horse. His movements were quite skillful, obviously trained in advance.
"It seems that everyone knows the content in advance." Cedric said softly: "Harry, you have to be careful, don't get hurt."
"Hmm." Harry nodded slightly, and then carefully studied the four knights.
The four knights couldn't see their faces clearly, but their armors were the same. The only thing that could distinguish them was the battle flag behind them.
They are an eagle, a dragon, a lion, and a swordfish.
Krum looked at the four silent knights, and was a little nervous for a while, but he quickly grasped the reins, and then drew his opponent from the small box handed by the referee.
Delicately stitched cloth features a soaring eagle.
"My child, your opponent is me." The knight wearing the eagle flag nodded, and then raised his long sword high.
As Krum's opponent drew out, the remaining three knights took a slight step back.
"Next, let me explain the specific rules of the game: first, the winner is the one who knocks down the opponent first, and whoever wins. Secondly, if the braves persist for 15 minutes, they can also be counted as victory." Apparently, the organizers of the Goblet of Fire also know that it is difficult for children to defeat a battle-hardened knight.
"Third point, do not leave the competition venue. If you leave the venue without authorization, you will be sentenced to lose."
"The scoring of this round of competition is based on the results, time, and methods."
"Hmph." Ron snorted coldly when he heard this: "In Karkaroff's opinion, it should be thick-skinned, right?"
Following the statement of the game rules, Krum and the Eagle Knight had already stood at the two ends of the arena, facing each other like a knight duel in the Middle Ages.
"Everyone on their places..." The referee rode on a broom in the air and swung his magic wand. With a burst of gorgeous fireworks, the game officially started.
Amid the cheers of the little wizards, Krum summoned a circle of vines around his feet with a flick of his wand, binding himself and the war horse together.
He did this to prevent himself from being shot down from the horse.
Then, as soon as he flicked the reins, the rune horse under him rushed towards the knight with a neighing sound.
Seeing Krum rushing forward, the knight immediately swung the reins, and at the same time raised the stone sword in his hand high.
"Dizzy!" Seeing this, Krum immediately swung his wand, and the red magic spell was thrown towards the knight across a hundred meters. It can be seen that Krum's magic spell is outstanding.
Even at such a distance, he can still maintain accuracy.
"Bang!" But the eagle knight just flicked his long sword, and easily blocked the attacking curse, and then bounced the curse back with a movement of the blade.
"Merlin!" The other brave men were shocked when they saw this scene.
Even Ash was a little surprised, but he keenly saw the faint blue runes on Eagle Knight's body when he swung his long sword.
Obviously, this is a form of expression of ancient runes.
"Whoosh!" Krum was taken aback by the oncoming spell. He quickly turned sideways to avoid the spell, and then swung his wand again amidst the exclamations of the little wizards.
"Upside down golden hook!"
What was released this time was standard black magic. Krum didn't hesitate while waving the first spell. He swung his wand again: "Bones to pieces!"
Another savage black magic rushed towards the knight.
It's just that he didn't panic in the face of these curses. He turned his long sword again and directly bounced the upside-down golden hook onto the grass, while the crushing curse was flexibly dodged by him.
As Krum's spell expired, the distance between the two was very close. Seeing the knight getting closer, Krum immediately waved his wand and cast an iron armor spell on himself.
"Hmph..." The knight snorted coldly, then stabbed at Krum with his long sword raised high.
"Bang!" The Iron Armor Curse in front of Krum made a loud noise, and the spreading force almost knocked Krum to the ground. If it weren't for the vines that entangled his legs before, this blow might be enough. Knock him off his horse.
After the two horses staggered, Krum panted heavily. Just facing the knight's long sword, he felt a strong sense of oppression.
"Krum blocked the knight's attack. He survived the first round of charge. What will be his next strategy? Fight or delay?"
As soon as the commentator's voice fell, Krum yanked the reins and crossed the horse. It was obvious that he was ready to confront his opponent again.
"Good job." The Eagle Knight nodded slightly and rushed towards Krum with a sweep of his long sword.
Krum was much smarter this time. He found that ordinary spells could not pose an effective threat to the knights, so he focused on the field.
"The flames are raging!" With a flick of his wand, a flame barrier was immediately formed in front of him, and then he continued to cast the spell through the flames.
"Fix all!" A translucent spell flew out of the flames, and people who were not careful observers could not see this almost invisible attack.
But that knight was not an ordinary person. He keenly saw the attacking spell. He flicked his long sword to deflect the spell, and then continued to charge towards Krum at an unabated speed.
"Ha!" Krum moved his wand again: "Hurricane!"
The hurricane roared in, and as the hurricane spread, there was raging fire. Krum was using the flames to deal with the knight.
But the Harpy Knight didn't panic in the slightest, he slapped the war horse under him, accelerated its speed, and then plunged into the flames amidst the terrified cries of the little wizards.
As he got into the flames, the field fell silent instantly, and neither Krum nor the audience could find the knight's position.
Only Ash shook his head lightly: "Krum should lose."
"Why?" Hagrid was still wondering when a tall horse came straight out of the flames. It was covered with burning flames, smashed through the thin paper wall of fire, and jumped to Krum with a single leap. in front of.
"Drowsy!" Krum threw out his wand, but his spell didn't hit. It wasn't because he was inaccurate, but because the knight was hanging half of his body on the side of the horse at this time. One hand was on the reins.
"My God!" The commentator was surprised when he saw the knight's long sword hit the rune horse's ass with a sweep. Following the pain, the rune horse immediately jumped up.
And as it jumped, Krum, who had forcibly tamed the rune horse, couldn't control the horse. In just a dozen seconds, he was overturned by the rune horse and lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment.
"Good fight, kid." The knight nodded slightly to Krum on his horse.
"Damn..." Krum lay on the ground, seemingly unwilling.
Seeing Krum fall to the ground, Ron's eyes immediately fixed on Karkaroff, seeing his constipated expression, he laughed happily.
With Krum down, it was time for Philip from Beauxbatons to play next. To be honest, most of the little wizards watching, even the little wizards from Beauxbatons felt that his winning rate was very low... Because Philip doesn't look like a man suitable for fighting.
He wasn't even very proficient in getting on his horse, and he was lucky enough to draw the Eagle Knight who had just fought with Krum...
"It's over, I feel that he is definitely not an opponent." Ron sat in the audience and said, "The opponent these people chose for them is too powerful..."
After the game started, Philip knew that he was not the opponent of the Cavaliers, so he started the escape journey. After all, this is also a kind of victory, and he persisted for 15 minutes.
After riding the rune horse, he patted his neck, and let it flap its wings and take him into the air. He looked at the knight who was still on the ground with satisfaction and nodded slightly.
Even you, you can't make the war horse fly, can you?
However, before he was happy for a few seconds, he saw the knight raised the long sword in his hand high, and then with a roar, the horse flew into the air, and with a hurricane, it rushed straight into the sky and chased after Philip. come over.
"Charlemagne!" Philip immediately turned his horse's head and swooped down to a lower place. It was obvious that he now wanted to rely on his mobility to deal with the knight.
But the Eagle Knight obviously didn't want to do this. With a flick of his long sword, he threw out a spell and went straight to Philip's back. Philip, who heard the scream behind him, quickly turned around and leaned over to avoid the blow.
But as the knights attacked more and more, Philip had to dodge frequently, but obviously, it was impossible for him to persist for 15 minutes under this kind of dodge.
Soon, a mistake occurred. The knight's spell hit the rune horse directly, directly destroying its flying balance. The rune horse shook Philip directly from the horse's back.
Philip rolled in the air and hit the ground.
At the same time, there were screams from the little wizards all around.
Fortunately, the security officer made a quick move, and he swooped in front of Philip immediately on his broom, and then pulled him onto his broom.
Looking at Philip who was still in shock, the little wizards couldn't help but shook their heads.
Obviously... the second stage of the game is too difficult... it is also extremely difficult for the braves.
However, several members of the jury had expected this situation, and only Karkaroff laughed undisguisedly.
He was obviously overjoyed that Beauxbatons had been eliminated.
Especially compared to someone who fights like Krum, this Philip's performance is a bit unbearable.
Clearly he thinks Krum is about to win the first round!
The rest is a junior student and a student of Waggadu.
It's not that he looks down on Waggadu's students, it's just that Waggadu's students are wizards who are good at deformation... They must not be able to give full play to their advantages in the knight competition.
You can't leave your steed after all.
Karkaroff watched the boy riding the rune horse slowly enter the field, and looked at Snape happily for a moment.
Hmph, the little wizards in your academy are about to be eliminated...
I don't know about you, do you have anything to say?
But Snape didn't pay attention to Karkaroff's mocking eyes, he didn't even look at Karkaroff, he just quietly watched Harry's movement of drawing lots on his steed.
Then deadpan.
"Contestant from Hogwarts: Harry Potter, his opponent is..."
"Oh! My God!"
"It's the Dragon Knight."
A soaring dragon was impressively sewn on the sewing cloth that Harry drew.
That is, the first knight.
Obviously... Harry's next game will definitely not be easy.
"Child, be careful." Dragon Knight nodded slightly to Harry, with a rather kind tone.
"I see, sir." Harry nodded politely, then clenched the wand in his hand and the long sword at his waist.
Ash nodded slightly at Hagrid, then rolled over and got on his broom
"Come on, Harry!" Ron loudly cheered for Harry, and Sirius behind him also shouted loudly.
