The Quidditch Arena was no longer what it used to be. Looking from above, the huge building in the middle of the arena was in the shape of a six-pointed star.
"Mr. Harris, nice to meet you." Sirius laughed as he walked over to shake hands with Mr. Harris.
"You seem to be in good spirits." Mr. Harris sized up Sirius. He shook hands with Sirius with one hand and patted him on the shoulder with the other.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Sirius, Mr. Harris noticed that Sirius did not sit with the Weasley family like before. Instead, he walked towards the box on the top floor.
"It is indeed necessary to control the power of the media." Mr. Harris stroked his chin. The Harris elites surrounding his Family Family parted the crowd and escorted Mr. Harris to their own box.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the third round of the competition is about to begin! Please allow me to introduce the rules of the competition to everyone. "Bagman's passionate voice resounded throughout the arena, receiving thunderous applause.
The magical screens suspended in the air lit up at the same time, projecting a three-dimensional image of the huge building in the Quidditch Arena.
"For this competition, the first six Warriors will enter the six triangular rooms at the outermost perimeter to wait for their turn." Following Bagman's introduction, the figures of the six Warriors appeared on the screens in the air. The wizard controlling the camera seemed to be particularly fond of Hibiscus Chinensis. Hibiscus Chinensis's expression was magnified on the screens. She was expressionlessly wiping her wand gently, occasionally raising her eyes and revealing a smile. The audience gasped in unison.
Who wanted to see what the other Warriors were doing? Why weren't all six screens showing Hibiscus Chinensis?
That was the question in the audience's mind.
"When Minister Foggy announces the start of the competition, the Warriors can enter the six trapezoidal rooms from the outermost six triangular rooms. Each trapezoidal room has its own challenge for the Warriors to complete. After completing a challenge in a room, the Warriors will receive a magical gem unique to that room and light up a corner of a hexagram array in the waiting room. If the Warriors fail to complete the challenge in that room, the Warriors will receive the punishment for that challenge. If the Warriors fail three times in a row and survive the punishment, the corner of the hexagram array in the waiting room will also light up."
Bagman paused for a moment, giving the audience time to react.
"Of course, if the Warriors realize that they can't complete the challenge and don't want to accept the punishment, they can use a magical gem to skip the challenge and light up the corner of the hexagram array. When all the arrays are lit up, the Warriors can return to the waiting room and enter the array array. They will be teleported to the room to complete the final challenge to complete the challenge."
The magic screen showed the layout of the hexagram array.
"However, the Warriors should take note that there is no need for the judges to give a score for this competition. After the competition, each magical gem will be worth 10 points. So, I would like to give you a friendly reminder. The Warriors should try not to use it to skip the six challenges. You might need it in the final challenge. After completing the seventh challenge, which is also the last challenge, you will be awarded 40 points for a total of 100 points. This will be the best chance for the contestants who are behind in the previous two competitions to catch up. It will also be the best time for the contestants who are in the lead to increase their advantage. "
The faces of the contestants appeared on the screen again. Krum clenched his fists tightly, looking determined to win. Allen maintained his elegant demeanor and even waved to the audience.
"Another thing worth mentioning is that the focus of this competition is not on the wizards' magic power and spells, but on their knowledge and wisdom. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden for warriors to attack each other. Anyone who violates the rules will be punished with zero points." After Bagman finished explaining the scoring rules, the stands were in an uproar.
"That's not fair!" A young man with short blonde curly hair and round glasses next to Mr. Harris shouted indignantly. He looked like an angry owl. "After the previous few competitions, anyone with eyes can see that Young Master Harris is the undisputed number one in terms of magic control. This is a rule change deliberately made to target Young Master Harris. "
Mr. Harris smiled and comforted the young man. "Compared to spells, Allen is better at this."
He then pointed at his own head.
"I hereby announce the start of the competition!" As Foggy's serious voice sounded, Bagman blew the whistle loudly.
Allen stood up from the soft leather sofa in the enclosed triangular room. He walked through the hexagram array in the middle of the room and pushed open the door to the trapezoidal room.
"Ah!" The audience in the stands screamed. An ugly stone monster suddenly appeared on the screen and stared down at them. Of course, it was actually staring at Allen who had just entered the room.
The big monster lowered its huge head as if it could crush the stands.
It looked very, very tall, like a building. Its red eyes glowed with a devilish light, and its mouth was twisted into a sly smile.
The stone monster lowered its head towards Allen and opened its mouth wide as if it was going to swallow him whole.
Allen didn't move a single step and allowed the stone monster's mouth to reach the top of his head.
The monster's mouth suddenly closed, and the audience gasped. However, Allen was unharmed and its huge head slid back.
"If you want to pass this stage, you have to guess my riddle. If you guess correctly, I'll let you pass. If you don't, I'll pounce on you. "The red light in the stone monster's eyes flickered, and its smile looked particularly malicious.
"Okay." Allen crossed his arms, not worried at all. "Can I hear the riddle?"
"If you know me, you want to share me. If you share me, I will disappear," the stone monster said coldly as its mouth opened and closed.
In the audience, everyone fell into deep thought. They were also thinking about the answer to the riddle.
Malfoy bit his lips and frowned, thinking hard.
Allen in the arena did the same. He lowered his arms and looked more at ease. "It's a secret."
As soon as Allen's voice fell, the stone monster shrank back and fixed itself high on the wall. Its evil expression disappeared and it looked very disappointed. It spat out a red gem from its mouth. The gem fell to the ground and made a tinkling sound.
Allen pointed his wand and the gem flew into his hand. Allen casually put it into the outer pocket of his magic robe and continued to walk to the next room.
At this time, a light screen showed that Harry's room was bitterly cold. Even the walls were covered with a thick layer of ice. There were six magic potion desks in the room, and in front of each desk was a frozen wooden statue. The wooden statue held a gem in its hand and stood stiffly at the side. Harry was in front of one of the desks, burying his head in cutting a black herb. His hand that was holding the knife was blue from the cold and trembling slightly because of the cold.
