Chapter 143: Quick Imprisonment
"Don't worry about the students who went to pick poisonous weeds. Get rid of these people first."
Dana said to the students of Durmstrang, "Those grasses are poisonous. Anyone who touches them will be poisoned and faint. Sooner or later, they will be eliminated."
The student picking grass: “…” How insidious!
Aren't we competing with magic? Why are these people starting to use their brains?
But why hasn't this poisonous weed broken out yet?
No matter what, they’re all going to be eliminated anyway, so just kill them first!
The students of Hogwarts, with the idea of taking the enemy away even if they had to die, doubled their fighting power and launched an attack on the students of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons.
As more and more people around them were eliminated, the students of Durmstrang realized that something was wrong.
The leading boy said to Dana, "Didn't you say that the poisonous weeds had already poisoned the people in Hogwarts? Why are they not hurt at all now?"
Dana was also a little confused.
The poisonous weed should have taken effect and the students of Hogwarts should have been eliminated, so why is everything fine?
"Of course it's because these are not poisonous weeds."
Jiang Hao jumped down from the tree, looked at Dana with a smile and said, "Those poisonous weeds were transformed by Sirius and I using Transfiguration. They are not poisonous at all. The poisonous weeds you made are actually on the other side. We turned them into ordinary green grass."
He had just deliberately gotten rid of James so that Sirius would catch up with him, and then he could use the same trick to get rid of the poisonous weeds here and see what they were going to do.
Dana looked at Jiang Hao who suddenly appeared in shock. She didn't expect that he would ruin her plan.
"We are clearly working together, why do you doubt me?" she asked puzzled.
"My guess."
Jiang Hao looked at Dana and explained, "You knew from the beginning that something was wrong with this place, but you didn't remind us. Instead, you asked me to seek cooperation with two other schools, so I guessed that there might be something wrong with you.
Then you said you were going to pick the antidote, and I knew you were lying."
Besides, this is a competition, why would you be given the chance to get the antidote? Just get rid of the person and that's it.
Dana was speechless.
I didn't expect that Jiang Hao, who looks naive and innocent, is actually a scheming person with so many thoughts.
Seeing that everyone in their school was about to be eliminated, Dana shouted, "Don't eliminate me, I know how to pass it."
She looked at Little Batty and Jiang Hao and said, "My teammates are gone. I am no longer a threat to you. If you eliminate me, you won't win."
Little Barty glanced at Jiang Hao and said, "I think we can keep her."
"OK then."
Jiang Hao said to the students of Oriental College: "Then we should eliminate all the people from Durmstrang."
"Wait, we can also..."
The Durmstrang student was stabbed out by a sword before he could even finish his words.
When Karkarov, who was watching the game from the sidelines, saw this scene, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"You are so insidious, this is cheating! All the students of Beauxbatons know the content of this game." Karkaroff said angrily.
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but roll their eyes at him.
Which school doesn't give its students some information? This is just a complete fool, he doesn't know how to use the resources.
Karkaroff was the one who was most biased towards his own house, but the students of Durmstrang had very bad luck in that battle and were outwitted by James.
"I didn't reveal the content of the competition to the student. She is just smart and guessed some of it." Madame Maxime said elegantly.
“I request that the eliminated schools in the next competition should produce the content.”
Karkaroff looked at Dumbledore and said sarcastically, "You don't want people to say that your school allows cheating, do you?"
Hearing this, Dumbledore looked at Karkaroff with a smile, his eyes shining with wisdom, and said slowly:
"If you give up your rights for something you haven't done, it's no different than proving that you can cheat.
I believe that when faced with unfounded accusations, we must have the courage to stick to the truth and defend our rightful rights. If we retreat easily, wouldn't that be bowing to those malicious people and tacitly assent to those false slanders?
We should make those who make malicious speculations about us feel ashamed and let their plots fail.
That's what we should be conveying to our students, isn't it, Karkaroff?"
The others heard the teasing meaning in these words and looked at Karkaroff.
Karkaroff's face became even uglier.
Can he say no?
If he can't say it, doesn't it mean that he has given in to the evil forces?
Karkaroff cursed Dumbledore countless times in his heart, but he still forced an expression of approval on his face.
"You're right. I was too one-sided. As expected of someone who can defeat Grindelwald, Headmaster Dumbledore has a great eloquence." He said sarcastically.
"If I could stop disputes with just my eloquence, I would quit my position as principal and become a negotiator, which would reduce the sacrifices."
Dumbledore's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. His tone was calm and steady, as if he was stating a common fact.
Everyone present had different expressions. Karkaroff felt that Dumbledore was too hypocritical, while Madame Maxime looked at Dumbledore with admiration.
The others didn't hear their conversation and were watching the students on the screen following Dana.
Dana led the group through a forest, and the sound of huge water impact was heard.
Everyone saw the waterfall behind the woods.
The most eye-catching thing is a huge green plant with emerald green stems and leaves standing firmly beside the waterfall, and a huge flower bud growing at the tip.
The flower bud seemed to contain enormous energy, and the size of the flower bud alone was as tall as a person.
"What is this?"
Little Barty asked Dana without getting too close.
Dana walked to the bud and introduced it to everyone: "This is the exit for us to pass the game. Just gently scratch the leaves of this plant or burn its buds with flames, and they will open and let people go in.
It can transport us anywhere. If you want to pass through, you have to come here and let its buds open to envelop you."
"Why haven't I heard of this plant?" Little Batty said doubtfully.
"This is a magical plant that grows only in our area. It doesn't grow anywhere else."
Dana looked at Little Barty calmly and said, "This plant is introduced in the Encyclopedia of Magical Plants. It's called the Devouring Flower. Everyone in our academy knows it."
"Today's test is too cheating. If people from other schools don't find the plant and swallow it, they won't be able to pass the test." Jiang Hao complained.
"So, do any of you want to give it a try?"
Dana asked while looking at everyone with a smile.
"You show us how to do it first, and we'll go in after you," said Little Batty.
He always felt something was strange.
"Well, since you don't believe me, let me demonstrate."
Dana took out her magic wand and cast a spell on the flower bud. A cluster of flames burst out from the tip of the wand, and the flames fell on the flower bud, instantly igniting the entire plant and burning fiercely.
The flower bud turned into the color of magma and kept shrinking, as if it would explode at any time.
"No, run!"
Little Barty was the first to notice something was wrong, and he immediately cast an armor spell on himself and stepped back.
"Quickly Imprisoned"
Dana used a binding spell on the others.
