Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 336 I'm the only one in the water, Ulla Ulla Ulla~
"Magic Net Utopia, enjoy watching the game. Welcome to watch the live broadcast of the top seven competition exclusively broadcast by Magic Net Utopia~"

"The third stage of the top seven competition - Black Lake Rescue, is about to begin! Dear audience friends, please be ready and cast your precious recommendation votes for the warrior you like most!"

"If the warrior you voted for gets the first place in this round of competition, you will get Utopia Mall points, which can be used to buy mysterious gifts!"

"We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our sponsors: Salty Fish House, Potter Bath Products, Madam Malkin's Robe Shop, and Weasley Brothers Magic Wheezes for their strong support for this program~"

……

Considering that Professor Flitwick's last hosting was a bit boring, Ted decided to find an online host to do the narration part-time.

Now, there are more than 15,000 users watching the top seven competition through Magic Network Utopia!
This number exceeds half of the wizarding population of Great Britain!
The radiation range covers most of the surrounding countries, as far as North Africa and even America.

However, the hundreds of users in America are a loss-making business.

It's too far away. Not only will there be no experience or mental power gained, but it even requires some consumption before they can see the live broadcast.

Just think of it as spending money to increase market share. Wait until I spread the magic net over there, and then I can reap the profits!
First, they give out benefits to establish a monopoly, and then they reap the profits. Ted is very familiar with this routine!
The British Isles, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, several countries in northern Africa, North America and South America... At this time, more than 15,000 wizards were watching the live broadcast of the Seven Strongest Tournament through the Utopia two-sided mirror.

The amount of barrage is very rich, and the voting is even more exciting.

The votes between Ted and Klum are very close.

Ted is well-known in Europe, mainly around Great Britain and France.

The number of viewers here is also very large, with users from two or three countries equaling those from all other countries.

Krum is an international Quidditch superstar. He has made his mark in various competitions at a young age and is very popular among the public.

And they played very well in the last two games.

Although it's still not as good as Ted.

The top post in the forum's Top Seven Championship section is now "A Review of Famous Scenes in the Top Seven Championship", and the first one is Ted's Dragon Spell suppressing the Australian Egg White Eye.

The second one is Forbidden Forest Night Raid, because of which Ted got many titles, such as "Dragon Rider", "Forbidden Forest Death God", "Night Raider" and so on. It's quite second-year~
The third one is Krum brooming over a fire dragon - riding on his newly acquired Firebolt, and using Thomas's cobra moves to shake the fire dragon in the sky.

And the friends are also included in the picture, such as Ron's I will attack in Gundam form, Harley's magic handprint, Neville's holy sword guardian and so on.

……

On the edge of the Black Lake, Ted and his 35 warriors were standing in a circular teleportation array with a diameter of one meter, spaced every two meters.

This magic circle is very similar to the one in the Forbidden Forest last time, but this time everyone has one, and it is a big deal.

I don't know whether Dumbledore wanted to show off his muscles or wanted to communicate magic, but the school got information from the four portrait professors and developed a teleportation array, which is very useful.

This magic circle did indeed intimidate the representative teams from other schools. Principal Black Monkey of Vagadu could only mutter to himself but did not dare to say anything loudly.

This thing really shows the background! The thousand-year-old magic school is the best in the world!

The network host and commentator that was hired was very eloquent. He kept chattering before the game started, and the atmosphere never cooled down. He kept chatting:

"Do you see that rockery that is four or five meters high? It is made up of piles of stones. It is said that our Hogwarts warriors developed a habit in their first year. They would pick up a stone and throw it here after every morning exercise..."

"Later, more and more young wizards were infected and began to do the same. After a few years, a small rockery appeared beside the black lake."

This is the ritual magic that Ted first experimented with, and now we can see some of its prototypes...

Professor Flitwick stood on a platform created by a spell, staring at a pocket watch in his hand: "Ready, set, go!"

At the command, the warriors who had been prepared took action.

Some people stuffed herbs and potions into their mouths, some held magic items to activate them, some cast spells on themselves, some activated teleportation circles under their feet, and some simply plunged into the water...

Ron looked confident and proud, and looked at his friends around him: "Let's start! Transform~"

Ron shouted and raised his left arm. On his wrist was something like a watch.

With the infusion of magic power, azure magic lines appeared like circuit boards, zigzagging and curving, and began to spread around the body. Then a layer of thin armor made of unknown material spread from the wrist to the whole body.

In just ten seconds, Ron was wrapped in a completely enclosed magic armor. Even his head had an artificial crystal screen, and there was a defensive bubble head spell wrapped outside to filter the air through water~
This is the personal underwater armor that Ron created after more than 20 days of hard work.

Due to the tight time schedule, it doesn’t have any fancy features. It is just a personal diving device that is waterproof and heat-insulating.

The protection is average, but it is lightweight and very easy to use.

The other friends also deployed their underwater armor.

After looking at each other, they activated the teleportation circle under their feet and disappeared into the black lake.

At this time, most of the warriors have already entered the water, and the methods used are varied.

The more noteworthy ones are:

Furong activated a magic item that looked like a wreath on her head, and her whole body seemed to have changed. She entered the water easily without any hindrance, and she seemed not to feel the cold temperature. It was as easy as being in the bathtub at home.

It was a blessed magic wreath, which, when triggered, would allow the wearer to acquire the characteristics of the water elf Nymph for a certain period of time.

Nymphs are a kind of beautiful water elves. Like Veela, they are also special beings with extraordinary charm.

Now Furong has the expertise of both. She swings her long legs in the Black Lake like a mermaid, as relaxed and comfortable as a mermaid.

At this time, her live broadcast audience directly exceeded the sum of Ted and Krum. LSP has the most!
The girls from the Maozi team were also very agile. They seemed to have cast a cold-resistant magic on themselves and dived directly into the water.

The cold lake water made their snow-white skin glow a faint rosy red, but that was all.

Worthy of being a Maozi~
The warriors of Uagadu have an advantage at this time, as they are generally good at at least one underwater form.

Some turned into giant cutlassfish with a mouth full of sharp teeth, some turned into octopuses (this person is suspected to be a Cthulhu believer, so it is recommended to keep a close watch on him~), and there was even one that deserved special attention, who turned into a giant walrus!
These guys really take advantage of the water!
The warriors of Ilvermorny have various methods. Some drink several kinds of potions and then dive directly. Some trigger special magic equipment and swim underwater like astronauts. Although they seem to have strong protection, they move slowly! It may be a bit difficult to save the hostages.

Most of the South American team ate gillyweed and drank potions to maintain body temperature.

Oh, and I also used some herbal paste to smear all over my body, making it look like a deep-sea seaweed mud beauty treatment.

In the end, the only ones left on shore who had not set off were Ted and Krum.

Ted is not in a hurry, but Krum is competitive.

It has a meaning of "if you don't move, I won't move either, you jump I jump".

Ted saw that he was staring at him intently, as if he wanted to die with him, and he felt helpless.

Principal Black Monkey, who was sitting on the judging panel, was so happy that he wished the two of them would just keep fighting like this without anyone getting involved.

Ted waved his wand and cast an enhanced version of the Safety Barrier Spell on himself. A transparent shield wrapped around Ted like an elliptical bubble.

He then triggered the magic circle and teleported to the Black Lake.

Krum also moved quickly at this time. He first drank a bottle of potion that was as sticky as black mud, and then cast a spell on himself.

This spell doesn't seem to be simple, and it takes more than ten seconds to cast it.

In the end he became half shark-man - with a fish head and a human body.

The shark head is a great white shark, with black stripes on a white background. The black stripes faintly form some kind of natural magic pattern.

The judges were all knowledgeable wizards. Although they did not recognize this spell, they could tell how difficult and extraordinary it was.

It should be some advanced black magic!

Krum, with the help of the potion, successfully performed the spell. Karkaroff watched his beloved disciple disappear into the magic circle with a smug smile on his face.

Show your face! Comfortable~
……

Everyone entered the water, and a huge screen floated above the Black Lake, broadcasting the warriors' performance live to the audience and judges.

Because there are seven fewer people this time, everyone's small screen has become a lot bigger.

Ron watched the Bubblehead Curse display nervously.

After all, he is the main force in making underwater armor, so he still has some backdoors.

He left some external interfaces on his underwater armor, which could be connected to the external system he used on Unit-01.

The big ones are definitely not useful, but the small ones are very useful.

For example, this is a thing that is only the size of a baby's fist and acts like a small radar.

This thing is a sensory scanning module that can sense things with magic around it. It will be displayed on Ron's facial armor. It is dark in the water, and the sound transmission is also vague, so it is very necessary to master a means of detection.

The jury really threw a lot of monsters into this river.

As soon as Ron finished teleporting, he started scanning. As a result, there were four magic feedbacks within 30 meters! Isn't the density too high?

There is a scorpion-tail shrimp, which is two times larger than a king crab. Its tail is arched like a scorpion and has a tail sting, which is poisonous.

The sting will cause extremely severe edema, and the neck and face will swell like a big steamed bun. Sometimes it can even block the trachea, so there is a high chance of being fatal.

And its two pincers are not bad either, they can even damage the bottom of a wooden boat.

This thing was first reported in a lake in Italy seven years ago.

Several Muggles were attacked by unknown underwater creatures and their bodies swelled up like water balloons.

Later investigation revealed this thing.

This thing is more likely to appear in places like swamps. However, because it is an alien species, it will also appear in unsuitable environments. At that time, it will be extremely aggressive and will attack anything it sees.

What's more terrifying is that these things live in groups, with dozens or even hundreds of them at any time. If a Muggle ship encounters them, there is basically only one way to go.

But it was a competition after all, so we couldn't be so cruel. Ron was only facing one.

One is easy to deal with. Ron stretched out his hand and found a round hole in the palm of the underwater armor.

"Wave~" A sound wave pushed the water flow to spread out layer by layer.

The aggressive scorpion shrimp was directly knocked unconscious.

Ron picked up the shrimp thread and stuffed it into his space bag - this thing should taste good when cooked, right?

The remaining magic feedbacks were also magical creatures, but two of them were magic fish. They were not very aggressive and ran away on their own. The remaining one was a Grindylow.

This thing looks like a mollusk with a goblin head that is somewhat humanoid in the upper half and eight tentacles in the lower half.

They have slippery mucus on their bodies and are very agile in water.

This creature is aggressive and in medieval times would often attack people taking water or swimming in the river.

This thing isn't very powerful, but it still exists in large quantities.

There were already a lot of these things in the Black Lake, and the jury crammed in a huge number of them, so that almost every warrior had encountered one.

The Hogwarts Warriors received the most attention because they were playing at home, and their performance in the previous two games was very impressive, so there were many spectators paying attention to them.

What's more, this time Ron's underwater armor was unveiled. Although due to time constraints, there was no time to apply a cool paint job, this thing is very eye-catching and has a good shape. So many people are watching the performance of the friends.

Ron simply took care of the two enemies without even using his wand, and many people left comments praising him.

Many people asked where to buy this armor? They wanted to buy a set for their two-year-old son!
Almost every warrior encountered an enemy, and the teleport location was "safe". Although there were enemies, they were all low-level minions, the purpose was to make the warriors nervous and the audience excited. So no one was eliminated.

However, there are still good and bad performances.

Some warriors defeated the enemy in a few moves, while others were in a hurry and even a little panicked.

However, the South American team was a bit special. Those low-level aquatic magical creatures actually avoided them from afar and did not even come near them.

Soon, the online commentator got an explanation from the scene. It turned out that the medicinal mud they applied on their bodies before entering the water had the effect of expelling monsters.

Those low-level magical creatures simply couldn't bear it and fled away.

Although it was a trick, it was also part of the assessment. In the end, it played to its own strengths.

Thirty-five warriors moved in a fan shape through the cold water beneath the ice toward the center of the lake.

There were constant battles along the way, and all kinds of strange aquatic monsters appeared one after another.

Soon someone was eliminated, this time it was the female warrior from Durmstrang.

She is not the kind of warrior who engages in frontal combat. She is good at long-range spells and curses.

As a result, the two consecutive levels were not favorable for her. She was lucky in the previous level and met her teammates quickly, but she was unlucky this time. It didn’t take long for her to encounter a giant catfish toad with a diameter of more than one meter!
This creature hides at the bottom of the water with only its flat head showing, and then it attacks passing prey.

Good god, if the judges hadn't intervened in time, the female warrior would have been swallowed directly. After landing, she was so scared that her face turned pale.

Just twelve minutes into the show, she had basically secured her spot in the elimination round.

Then another unlucky guy was eliminated.

The boy from Beauxbatons lost his way underwater, swam further and further away, and unfortunately got into a large patch of water plants.

It was also because he was not vigilant enough and forgot all the knowledge he had learned before going into the water in a panic.

The Grindylow likes to live in large areas of aquatic plants. He is like the delivery man knocking on the door, the takeaway has arrived.

At least forty or fifty grindyloes surrounded him. Although this thing was only about one meter long, it had eight tentacles!
Even though the judges acted quickly, this guy was still badly abused when he was rescued. Not only was the protective spell broken, his clothes were torn, and several tentacles were inserted into his mouth!
It was so miserable that anyone who heard about it was sad and anyone who saw it cried. They were all worried that he would be traumatized.

Many viewers typed the word "miserable" in the barrage!

There were also a few gentleman viewers who typed “cool”? !
……

At this moment, Ted was floating quietly in the water with his eyes closed.

Many viewers were wondering: Is this a bath?

In fact, he was integrating his psychic energy into the water and then spreading it out to increase the range of his psychic power.

The main purpose is to try to check where the so-called hostages are.

However, he didn't expect that he could actually sense several people approaching him!

"Oh? Still not giving up? This time it's the coalition forces!"

I started coughing again today, and felt very weak and short of breath.

Alas, over and over again.

No wonder people in ancient times always had sudden enlightenment after a serious illness. It was indeed very torturous.
