In This Hogwarts Without a Savior Chapter 297

   Chapter 297 295. He will definitely come today

  A bronze door, of course, is very conspicuous in such a labyrinth covered with ice everywhere.

   At such a distance, Jon could see clearly that there was a tiny gap in the middle of the iron gate that seemed to be integrated into a whole.

  This proves that this is a door that can be opened, not a whole piece of copper plate embedded in the ice.

   But even if it was a door, he found no sign of a handle or lock.

  When Voldemort came to this place, he must have done something or taken something behind the door. If Jon wanted to find out, he must also enter this door.

   But just how to open and enter this door is a problem.

  Jon leaned against the ice, squatting in a corner, observing the situation around the bronze door, trying to find out if there was a chance to sneak in under the cloak of invisibility.

   But soon, he saw an eye hanging from an unobtrusive corner directly above that door!

   To be precise, it is an eyeball.

Jon has seen such a magic false eye, once an elite Auror of the British Ministry of Magic, and now the mainstay of Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix - Alastor Moody, one of the eyes that was originally blind was replaced by fake eye.

   And Moody's fake eye has a very powerful ability to see through disillusionment spells and invisibility cloaks!

  The eye that is now hanging on the bronze door may also have this ability.

  These Death Eaters have prepared for the possibility of Jon sneaking in using the invisibility cloak, and they have made perfect guarantees in the areas that need protection most.

  Jon's current location is just outside the observation range of that eye, so he has not been found, but as long as he is about three meters closer to the bronze door, the eye will definitely be able to find him.

   This made Jon's heart sink to the bottom. He frowned and looked at the magic prosthetic eye. In a short time, he had thought of many ways in his mind.

   The second gemstone on the ring has the ability to absorb the magic power of magic items, but the premise of this ability is that the gemstone itself cannot be too far away from the object to be absorbed.

And he has no way to get close to that eye, and he still doesn't know how the Death Eaters manipulate this eye. If he absorbs the magic power and turns the false eye into a useless eye, Death Eater How long it will take the gangsters to react is also an uncertain thing.

  So Jon can only veto the option of directly destroying the prosthetic eye itself.

  Since the eye cannot be destroyed, he can only start from himself.

But this is even more a matter of fantasy. The invisibility cloak he wears can be said to be the most advanced magic item in the entire magic world, one of the three holy weapons of death, and there is nothing more powerful than it up.

   Even so, the fake eyes can still see through the camouflage of this invisibility cloak, and it is impossible for Jon to be stronger than the God of Death who gave the Three Hallows.

   There is no way to solve the fake eye, and it cannot be strengthened by itself, so the only thing left for him now is the simplest and most direct solution.

  Jon stared at the copper door without blinking.

   Break hard!

   Fight to be discovered, try to see if you can open that door!

  No matter what the result is, he must summon Fox later, and let him take Nick and Gabriel away.

  Let's not talk about whether the door can be opened or not, even if he managed to open it, it is impossible to deal with them after being blocked by such a large number of Death Eaters in such a narrow place.

   Unless there should still be a huge space behind the door, the same as the maze they are in now.

  Jon didn't dare to have such fantasies. Originally, Grindelwald asked him to come to the North Pole, but he didn't say what he was asked to do, and gave him the power to choose.

   Now that he has been able to come to this place, he has already tried his best to find the location of a gem, and he can also find a book from Adrian's map, which is considered a good harvest.

   For the rest, even if he can see a little more useful information to bring back, it will be a profit.

  After thinking about this, Jon clenched the wand in his hand, and at the same time, the other hand also grabbed the fiery red feather that belonged to Fox!

   Just before Jon entered the open space where the Death Eaters were stationed in the maze.

  In the banquet hall of the French Ministry of Magic, usually only used on extremely important occasions, wizards from all over Europe gathered at this time.

  The blood-sworn bet between Voldemort and Dumbledore spread throughout the world in just one week.

   Not only because of the weight of the stakes, even the future of the entire French magic world, but also because the Triwizard Tournament has not been held for hundreds of years.

In the past, this competition jointly organized by three European magic schools was suspended because the content was too dangerous, causing the death of students almost every time. Now it is restarted to decide the outcome of a war. Such an alternative and unique topic It became the focus of discussion among wizards all over Europe.

In peaceful times, the **** Triwizard Tournament should be stopped, but in today's turbulent times, a duel between little wizards to end a war is undoubtedly the best way to reduce casualties and promote peace Way.

   In this regard, when they learned that this idea was first proposed by Voldemort, it even made most wizards feel unbelievable.

  If this was the solution that Dumbledore proposed first, most people would take it for granted, because it is very similar to the style of Dumbledore's way of doing things.

  He always likes to use some childish means to solve matters with great influence, and because of this, not everyone likes him in peacetime, and many rigid and rigorous people privately call him "crazy old man".

Voldemort is completely the opposite of Dumbledore. Even if he is no longer as moody as he was ten years ago in the past ten years, it is not possible to say that he will let a group of children who have not yet graduated decide to use the hard work he has received now. The point of the result.

  But the fact is that he proposed it on his own initiative, and Dumbledore readily agreed.

  Although the truth is unknown, this does not prevent the wizards who support Voldemort's side from singing meritorious deeds for him.

  The pure-bloods said that "Mr. Great" is a kind gentleman. He couldn't bear to see the bloodshed again, and wanted to have a fair and just game to give Dumbledore another chance.

   Some people also said that he was giving the next generation of young wizards a chance. No matter which side won the Triwizard Tournament, they would definitely become famous in the end!

  If Voldemort wins, then the winning student will definitely be elected as a rising star in the British magic world or the future European magic world according to Voldemort's attitude.

Not to mention Dumbledore's side, regaining the lost land of France, recovering France, not to mention Dumbledore and the people of the Order of the Phoenix, all the wizards of France will treat him as a hero, even ignoring his age It is not impossible to directly elect the new French Minister of Magic.

   There are various theories, but what is certain is that, with Voldemort and Dumbledore having made a blood oath, this match that will determine the final outcome of the French War is bound to begin.

   When the specific reason for the competition, referees and events have not been determined, the selection of warriors will start a week after the blood oath is made.

On this day, the entire European Ministry of Magic is invited, because this competition is not just a simple competition between several magic schools like hundreds of years ago, but it almost determines the entire Europe. The future of the continent.

  Britain's Daily Prophet has a whole group of reporters, and the Starlight newspaper under the control of the Wuping Line Liberated Area is also dispatched by almost all members.

  Other countries like Spain, Switzerland, Bliss, Germany, Bulgaria, Poland, Norway, Finland, etc., as long as the wizards are large enough to form a Ministry of Magic, almost all of them will send officials from the Department of International Magical Cooperation and official media.

  Not only in Europe, but even the International Federation of Magic, which has not had a chairman for ten years, sent people to participate in this election ceremony.

   Even many American wizards from the far side of the Atlantic have come, and the disputes in Europe will not affect them for the time being, but the pure blood theory raised by Voldemort has attracted a lot of attention around the world.

  Wizards wherever they are are looking forward to the end of this war in France, because after this game, we can truly see whether the Wuping Line led by Dumbledore has the ability to compete with Voldemort in the future.

Early in the morning on the day Voldemort and Dumbledore agreed to select the warriors, the students from the two Hogwarts schools, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang were brought by their professors to this splendid hall of the French Ministry of Magic. hall.

As the leaders of this competition, Voldemort and Dumbledore also came here in person, and McGonagall went to Durmstrang from the Hogwarts carriage to pick up all the students boarding there. , and Durmstrang's own students were not brought here by Grindelwald, but led by the vice-principal Vida Rozier.

   Beauxbaton was the same, their unknown headmaster didn't come either, but a female professor led a group of students here.

  The students of Hogwarts Castle were brought by Vice-Principal Snape himself.

  The always pale-faced, vacant-eyed wizard brought the pure-blood students from grades 1 to 7 to Voldemort's side, then bowed respectfully and stepped back.

Hogwarts Castle, which is based on the theory of pure blood superiority, will of course only bring pure blood students to participate in this selection. The same is true for Beauxbatons. This French magic school was just completed a year ago. The distinction between blood colleges.

  In fact, apart from the Hogwarts carriage, Durmstrang students only brought students who were in the third grade or above who voluntarily wanted to participate this time.

Even though there is no age restriction on the selection of warriors for the Triwizard Tournament this time, Grindelwald also directly cut off the possibility of students under the third grade participating for the safety of his students, and only selected students who meet the requirements And volunteer students come over.

   Compared with Voldemort who really ruled the two magic schools, Grindelwald is willing to provide help to Dumbledore, but of course this kind of help will not be unreserved.

   Dumbledore knew this, and Jon, who had stayed in Durmstrang for a while and saw some things with Grindelwald, was also very clear.

   This man who once turned the whole world upside down for his own ideals and the future of the magic world, will not come out of that tower again, just to help Dumbledore.

  Grindelwald never puts personal feelings first, helping Dumbledore is just following the trend, he must have other ambitions.

  A very different ambition from Voldemort, Dumbledore, and myself fifty years ago.

  Only the students from the Hogwarts carriage were brought here. The number of them is really too small. Even compared with other schools that have been screened, they can only be said to be about the same.

   And all the wizards who came to this banquet hall could tell that the oldest of the students led by Dumbledore looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, that is, they had just entered the fifth grade.

  For young wizards, there is a huge difference between the upper and lower grades.

   After all, some things are only allowed to be learned after reaching a certain age, and the first to bear the brunt is magic like apparition.

  From the perspective of age, Dumbledore has already fallen into a big disadvantage before he even started.

  This made some wizards on the scene who supported Wu Pingxian's side from their hearts frowned.

  However, Dumbledore didn't care about those eyes. He just looked at the students brought by McGonagall with a gentle smile on his face, and asked them patiently how their lives in Durmstrang were going.

  The students excitedly told him about their life in Durmstrang, and some younger students asked Dumbledore enviously when they would have their own castle.

  Dumbledore still had a smile on his face, but his eyes became extremely serious.

   "We will surely retake our castle."

  His promise made all the young wizards around him nod firmly.

   At this time, Hermione looked at Neville, Neville looked at Ron Ron looked at Hermione, and finally Hermione asked with a worried face.

   "Professor, where did Jon go?"

  They were taken away from Durmstrang three days ago. At that time, McGonagall had explained to all of them what the Triwizard Tournament was and what it meant.

   But it's okay to never see Jon's people in Durmstrang, even here Jon has never appeared, which has to attract Hermione's attention.

  Hearing Hermione's question, Dumbledore blinked and said softly.

   "Don't worry, he will definitely come today."
