If this was a simple game, Bai Lin felt that it was okay for Yu Qian to serve as a hostage. But thinking that it was probably Old Batty who ordered the arrest, it might not be that simple. The hostages would be knocked unconscious. If he Bai Lin was caught off guard if he did anything to Yu Qian.
Thinking of this, Bai Lin hurried back, talked nicely to Yu Qian, and sent her to their temporary base. He also told them that if anyone came to see her, they must notify him as soon as possible. If old Batty dared to come in person, Come on, he doesn't mind bringing him to justice directly.
Easter was approaching day by day, and it was difficult for Bai Lin to see Harry's three little ones. It must be that Dumbledore had arranged for Snape to use Harry's mind-locking technique.
Whenever school was over, Harry would quietly go to see Snape. Ron couldn't help but complain. He didn't expect that in just a few days, Harry's attitude towards Snape would change completely. Snape still had a bad look on Ron during Potions class.
After the first game, each warrior received a golden egg, which contained information about the second level. However, Bai Lin scorned this and his golden egg was directly placed in the Hufflepuff lounge as a souvenir. For everyone to enjoy.
He saw it in the first game. This was a large-scale cheating scene. In fact, every warrior knew that he was going to face the fire dragon before the game, and had already thought of countermeasures. After all, the principal of every school did not want him to His protégé was sprayed on the forehead by the fire dragon in the first round. After the first game, there was a second one. Teachers from each school used some "hints" to let the warriors know the content of the game.
As in the original plot, Cedric reminded Harry to open the golden egg in the water and learned that the second game was held underwater. However, Bai Lin felt that anyone who was not blind would not be able to see the Ministry of Magic. And the tall towers and some zoning facilities built by the Hogwarts staff in the Black Lake? What kind of game do you still need to guess?
The day of the competition arrived as scheduled. The weather was very unfavorable, with dark clouds and strong winds. The three water towers were swaying a little. The waves of the Black Lake hit the columns of the towers, splashing water nearly ten meters high.
However, the enthusiastic atmosphere of the audience resisted the cold air. The students spontaneously prepared various slogans and decorations to cheer for the warriors. The twins and Li Qiaodan returned to their old business of selling "lottery tickets" among the students.
"The current championship odds are as follows: Professor Kailin White, 1:1.15;" Li Qiaodan introduced to the students with spittle: "There is no suspense about the first place, but the odds are also the lowest, even if you win , you can only earn a few silver coins... I suggest you not to buy Professor White. As the saying goes, the safest choice may not always last. I strongly recommend that you choose cloth. Sparton's Fleur Delacour, the current odds are 1:2.7, and the little dark horse of Hogwarts, Harry Potter! The current odds are 1:3.1, you will make money if you buy it! If you hit it, you will turn over. !”
It must be said that Li Qiaodan's appeal was quite strong. Many students took out one or two gold galleons at the bottom of the box and bought Fleur or Harry Win.
"Professor, professor~" Bai Lin was looking at the turbulent lake in a daze, when suddenly a head popped up from the side, and it turned out to be Eddie with a tough head and a tough brain.
Eddie leaned into Bai Lin's ear and whispered: "Professor, I still have ten galleons, should I win by buying Harry?"
Bai Lin laughed, pointed quietly in the direction of the Durmstrang delegation, and whispered: "Buy Krum, he is the fastest."
Eddie was stunned. He didn't expect Bai Lin to recommend him to buy a student from another school to win. However, he was also a Quidditch fan and must have great respect for the world star Krum. Of course, he would not doubt Bai Lin's recommendation. He nodded heavily and got back in again.
Bai Lin looked towards Durmstrang, and Karkaroff also looked back at him. Their eyes met in the air, and Bai Lin seemed to see some information from Karkaroff's eyes.
Durmstrang is located in the north. Looking at their vehicle - the ghost ship, it can be seen that their school is probably on the edge of the North Sea. They must be the best at water work. In the original work, Ke Rum's shark transformation is indeed the strongest underwater skill. Not only did he win easily, but he also saved Ron.
In the end, it was obvious that everyone only gave the credit to Harry who insisted on saving Ron and Bugaly at the same time. Bai Lin felt that Dumbledore, who had announced a special award to Harry, must have been extremely embarrassed. Damn it, why didn't Bugali just go ahead if there was no one to save Ron? Is drowning forgotten? Do you think the organizer is some kind of Sith?
All in all, without Harry's rescue, Bugali would definitely be safe and sound, but without Krum's help, Harry would definitely be in trouble. Bai Lin didn't think that Klum would have been controlled by the Imperius Curse at this time.
After thinking so much in confusion, Dumbledore had already begun to announce the rules of the second game. Bai Lin glanced at Harry from the corner of his eye. He was getting a ball of "pickled" from the hands of the house elf Dobby who sneaked over. "Dried pickles", he couldn't help but laugh a little. This ball of pickled pickles was found by Dobby from Snape's table and placed in a conspicuous small bottle. The label on it read: Potter must not get it. The original book said it was an arrangement by the fake Moody, but Bai Lin felt that this wording was obviously written by Snape himself, and maybe he felt that his writing was not tactful enough.
Klum and Fleur on the other side took off their coats, and they were wearing professional diving suits. Although Fleur's figure was very pleasing to Bai Lin, he still couldn't help but complain in his heart. I'm afraid they knew the content of the competition last year, so There were only two silly boys, Harry and Cedric, standing in the wind wearing a small vest, shivering from the cold.
As Bai Lin expected, due to his unexpected addition, the four hostages were originally placed in the same location and were guarded by the mermaids. To be honest, Bai Lin didn't know what the competition was going to be in the second game. I'm afraid it was just about swimming skills. . Now, each person works in one direction, and everyone relies on their own abilities. In this way, there is no such thing as mutual help. At the same time, the time limit is also cancelled, and the scores are based on the order of completion.
Complaints are complaints, Dumbledore also finished reading the rules of the competition. "Old Barty", who was wearing a black trench coat and a neatly groomed beard, came over with a small bag and asked everyone to draw lots to choose the competition area. He deliberately started from Beauxbatons' side, letting Fleur take the first turn, and then finally it would be Bai Lin's turn on the other side, making it clear that Bai Lin's arrangements were clear.
When it was Bai Lin's turn to smoke, Bai Lin stared into the eyes of "Old Batty", who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, looking wise and peaceful. Bai Lin waved his hand, "No need to smoke, I'll just take this piece!" Pointing to the deepest and widest area of water.
Old Batty chuckled, and asked the other four people to reveal the numbers drawn and announce the results of the lot to the audience. Sure enough, Bai Lin received special care, while the difficulty for the other four people was roughly the same.

Harry swallowed the "dried pickles" in his hand. Bai Lin must have felt so sour that he couldn't believe it. He took off his coat and handed it to the little Hufflepuff fan, revealing a pair of shark skin underneath. The water was near, and Filch "once again" fired the salute before Dumbledore gave the order, and then plunged vigorously into the cold lake water.
"Summoning - Mermaid's Blessing!" Bai Lin shouted immediately after entering the water. The underwater mantra was a bit choked, but it did not affect the effect. Taking advantage of the preparation platform to block people's vision, an illusion of a mermaid appeared next to Bai Lin. Qing Wu, then attached to his body, a light blue "water source shield" wrapped Bai Lin in it. In this water shield, Bai Lin could breathe freely, and his swimming speed increased by 300%.
The four teenagers on the other side had little change in their coping methods. Cedric and Fleur both chose the Head Bubble Spell and put a big bubble on their heads. To be honest, this spell was too low. Although this magical big bubble would not It causes excessive buoyancy and makes it difficult to dive, but it can only solve the problem of underwater breathing and cannot increase the swimming speed. Harry's gillgrass solves both the problems of underwater breathing and swimming. Krum's is better. After using it, it also added underwater attack capabilities.
Since each person has one direction, it is the eight immortals who cross the sea to show their magical powers. The worst one is Furong. As expected, she is destined to be the first to be eliminated. Less than ten minutes after entering the water, she encountered the interference of the Grindylow group. In a panic, she The big magic blister on her head burst and she was forced to surface after choking on two large mouthfuls of water. She was rescued by Beauxbatons classmates and put on a blanket.
Furong was probably not good at swimming, so she might have taken a sudden lesson for the competition. After being in the water for a while, not only was her physical strength severely exhausted, but she also had a psychological shadow.
But because of the change in the rules, Principal Maxim had to walk over and said: "Fleur, dear, I'm afraid I can only tell you that Gabrielle is your target, and she is still waiting for you underwater..."
Furong was shocked and jumped up. Without saying a word, she gave herself a head soaking spell again and jumped into the lake.
On Bai Lin's side, the underwater light was very dim, and the water plants at the bottom of the lake were more than ten feet long. Not far from his swim, a group of Grindylows swam past, but Bai Lin had dealt with them many times, and they were not only He didn't attack Bai Lin, and even circled him, as if to remind him of something important.
"You mean, there is a monster ahead?" Bai Lin asked, pointing ahead.
The little guys with weird half-fish, half-human faces swam faster, and even a dozen of them were connected end to end, forming a long strip.
"This is... a sea snake?" Bai Lin guessed.
The Grindylows stopped and nodded to Bai Lin, making some strange grunting noises, and then ran away in a hurry.
Bai Lin knew something in his mind. How could old Batty not dig a hole for himself? However, he was not afraid at all and continued to swim forward.
This area of water is also relatively unfamiliar to Bai Lin, because there are some settlements far away from the mermaids. Maybe it was the activity area of the Overlord Octopus in the past, but since Bai Lin sealed the Overlord Octopus, this place may have become an unclaimed land. The water depth is more than forty meters. If it were not for the magical effect of the Water Source Shield, the Bubble Charm and the like would not be able to dive this deep.
After searching underwater for nearly twenty minutes, Bai Lin found nothing. Except for Grindylow, whom he met when he first entered the water, he never saw any magical animals, nor did he find his target.
While swimming, Bai Lin analyzed in his mind and determined his position in his mind. If the Ministry of Magic persuaded someone to become a hostage, it would be impossible to place the hostage very close to the shore. Generally speaking, they would be in this area of water. At the deepest part of the middle and back section, Bai Lin was already in this area. Although the underwater visibility in the black lake was very low, Bai Lin's eyesight was very good. He could confirm that he had not missed any possible clues along the way.
Just when Bai Lin was a little anxious, he suddenly saw a big stone at the bottom of the lake. The stone was very large and stood out from the long water plants.
Bai Lin twisted his body and swam over. When he took a closer look, he saw a large dark hole under the stone. It was bottomless and the diameter of the hole was more than two meters. Humans and animals could easily enter and exit it.
"Is this the home of the Overlord Octopus?" Bai Lin was confused and muttered.
Although it looked very unsafe, Bai Lin, an expert in art, was brave and guessed that it was probably in this big hole, so he dived in.
"Fluorescent flash!" Bai Lin stretched a hand forward, and a ball of fluorescent light lit up in his palm, immediately illuminating the dark hole in front of him.
But this illumination didn't matter, a huge snakehead was already less than five meters away from him. The dense white teeth reflect the light, making people tremble with fear.
"WTF! Wait for me here!" Bai Lin was startled. The water was not like land. It was unrealistic for him to turn and avoid immediately, so he could only bite the bullet and go forward.
"Summon-Og's Fist!" Bai Lin shouted.
An arm as thick as an oil drum rushed out from Bai Lin's shoulder. Regardless of who was stronger or weaker, he directly stuffed his fist into the mouth of the giant sea snake, and the fist hit the sharp teeth in the mouth.
The sea snake was obviously startled, and it almost bit the iron plate. However, it reacted very quickly and immediately retracted its tongue, bypassed Ogg's fist, and bit Bai Lin's waist. The movement is as fast as a cat or leopard.
Bai Lin pulled out his sword with a "swipe" sound, faced the snake's head, and struck the sea snake's dissatisfied blood-red eyes with his sword. He was not agile enough underwater, so he could only attack instead of defend. If he attacked, he would defend.
The head of this sea snake is four feet wide and at least more than a hundred feet long. It is similar in size to the basilisk Harry encountered in the Chamber of Secrets. It just doesn't have the basilisk's eyes that turn people into stone at a glance, but the sea snake is by no means bigger than the basilisk that Harry encountered in the Chamber of Secrets. Basilisk is weak because it has other tricks.
The sea snake avoided Bai Lin's long sword that stabbed the snake's eyes, and in a blink of an eye, it went around to the other side of Bai Lin. Suddenly it opened its bloody mouth, and two jets of dark green venom spurted out from the venom glands in the snake's mouth, directly toward Bai Lin. Lin's head was poured with water.
