Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 344 Heroes compete for supremacy, Warcraft is invincible!
I have to say that the judges are quite proud. After all, they are principals and professors of top magic schools around the world. Strong ability, extensive knowledge and self-confidence are essential.

However, this magic code is not easy to learn.

The main reason is that I’m getting older and my thinking has become rigid, and I can’t adapt to many things.

On the contrary, they are not as flexible as the little wizards in school, just like a blank piece of paper for painting.

These old-timers have already painted a lot of patterns, and it would be easy to make a mess if they added complex patterns.

So only a few judges learned the basics.

In the end, they had no choice but to silently give up the idea of ​​learning from scratch and starting to develop levels. They quietly launched the map editor and creative workshop and began their fool-proof creation.

Never again say "Only elementary school students use this idiot mode."

The creative workshop has been open for almost two years, and there are many little wizards who have created MODs or mini-games on it.

With the help of the material library and map editor, it is easy to create some magic games on small maps.

Besides, these old wizards are the elite among the elites after all, and they can still make some use of the ready-made materials.

After nearly twenty days of preparation, it was finally announced on March 3: the fifth round of the top seven competition will be held in two days.

The content of the competition was also announced.

In the auditorium, young wizards crowded together, looking at a group of old men sitting on the judges' bench in the distance.

Dumbledore was wearing a white wizard robe, and his long hair was slightly sparse - Fudge's goal was achieved, and Dumbledore was now only concerned with his head and not his butt. He was getting stronger, but he was also going to become bald.

He stood up and spoke...

There was no sign of magic being used, but even for students who were close to the gate, Dumbledore's voice seemed to be right next to their ears and could be heard clearly.

It is like hearing thunder in silence.

Normally, this kind of voice transmission magic is not considered very advanced, but Dumbledore's is a little different, it doesn't look like magic!

More like some kind of innate ability!
It's interesting. Quite interesting.

The group of veterans behind him couldn't help but be slightly moved. Old Dumbledore was known as the greatest white wizard of this century, and his reputation was indeed well-deserved.

The wizards who knew what was going on at the scene all had different expressions. Professor McGonagall couldn't help but nod her head. Snape had a blank expression on his face and was not moved at all, but his eyes changed slightly.

Professor Geller was still looking at Ted and his friends sitting in the first row not far away, but his head was slightly tilted, carefully appreciating this inconspicuous silent and wandless magic.

The headmasters behind Dumbledore also pondered over it carefully. Madame Maxime just felt that the magic was a little difficult to understand and did not understand Dumbledore's method of casting the spell.

Principal Maozi and the South American female professor probably have similar doubts.

Karkaroff was a bit lame, he didn't even notice anything unusual.

The Black Monkey Principal of Vagadu was at a higher level. He could tell that this was not any current magic system at all! Instead, it was more like the abilities of those terrible magical creatures on the prairie.

The tall American professor with a hooked nose smiled slightly, as if he had discovered something interesting.

Dumbledore didn't care what they thought, but began to announce the content and rules of the competition:

"The content of the fifth level will still be held in the Utopia Magic Game. This time, it is a new magic level constructed by many of our principals and judges."

"The 21 warriors who have not been eliminated need to compete according to specific rules..."

The rules of this competition are quite interesting.

It is a game with the theme of cooperation and betrayal.

21 warriors will appear on a magic map, each with some starting resources, and then go on adventures and recruit soldiers to form their own "army"!
The condition for passing the level is that someone defeats the terrifying demon in the center of the map!

The big devil has many subordinates and needs a lot of troops.

According to Lao Deng, this level has special restrictions. A single warrior, no matter how strong you are in real life, will never be able to break into the devil's fortress and defeat the devil.

This is obviously meant for Ted. The game will limit your ability, just like the previous level. Don't think you can just brute force your way through the level.

So, we are going to cooperate again this time?

But cooperation is just surface information.

Lao Deng also mentioned: "Beat other warriors and you can inherit his treasures, resources, troops and bases..."

Ah, that is the competition between the kingly way and the hegemonic way.

Will you unite the majority of people, form a coalition and work together to defeat the big devil, or will you annex the troops of other warriors and finally challenge the devil.

In fact, this is a fatal question, because among the 21 warriors, 7 will inevitably be eliminated. It is not that easy to unite.

But what if too many Warriors die and the big devil can’t beat them?
Therefore, the degree of control is the most important thing.

And this level is vaguely targeting Hogwarts.

Because the Hogwarts Warrior has not been eliminated yet.

If the seven of them gather an army and defeat the Demon King, the others will be in danger.

When the time comes, we will look at the performance scores. If no one performs well, there is a chance that they will be eliminated. It all depends on luck.

The other teams basically have no hope of winning the championship, they can only perform as well as possible to delay being eliminated.

But some people who still have hope for the competition, that is, those in the second tier, Ted's two former allies, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, have to limit the alliance of Hogwarts, and even have to attack those who eliminated them first.

In other words, the previous alliance was completely broken under the rules of the competition.

……

"Dear audience, welcome to the fifth game of the Top Seven Tournament. I am the commentator James Bright!"

"I'm Ronnie Cassel."

"I'm Nicole Fanny~"

"Here, I would like to share some advice with you. First of all, I would like to thank our chief sponsor, Porter Shampoo. Porter Shampoo makes washing easier and removes all grease."

Snape, who was at the scene, turned his head woodenly and looked at the three commentators in the distance who seemed to have borrowed their words.

"Ronnie, Nicole, we've been away for a month and now we're back to explaining the games for our viewers. We're already on the fifth round, it's going by so fast!"

"Yes, let me announce some statistics to you. There are currently 21 warriors left, 3 from Beauxbatons, 4 from Durmstrang, and 7 from Hogwarts. As expected of the oldest Hogwarts, all of them are here..."

The three commentators began various analyses and jokes, and twenty minutes later, the Warriors finally took the stage.

The warriors from each team wore their own school uniforms, standing separately in different colors of red, blue, green and yellow.

Because this time it is in the game, there is no outdoor venue, and everyone is watching the live broadcast in the Utopia game.

The warriors sat down, put on their equipment, and started the game after confirming that everything was correct.

From the perspective of the judges' seats and the live broadcast, one can see an enormous magic sandbox, and 21 warriors randomly land in a corner of this sandbox.

After all, this magic game was created by a large group of magic masters, so the level is quite good and the content is also very rich.

After all, each of them has some naughty ideas. If you don't let me and I don't let you, in the end, they will all do it.

So much so that I had to explain to the audience how to play the game.

From adventuring, fighting monsters, collecting treasures, to visiting special buildings, spending resources to recruit soldiers, establishing strongholds, and so on.

It's a bit like a combination of Warcraft and Heroes of Might and Magic.

However, this map has a main task - defeating the big devil. The middle-aged commentator James Bright whispered: "There is a secret information to reveal to everyone. The final task is to defeat the big devil. However, the judges did not tell the warriors one thing, that is, the devil is not a fool who will wait in the castle for the warriors to attack. He will send troops to interfere, attack, and even chase and destroy the warriors!"

"That is to say, the warriors' situation is not safe at all. If they are too careless in the early stages and are targeted by the Demon King's troops, then..."

Ted's eyes flashed and he was already in the game.

The entire perspective fell from the sky, falling as fast as a meteor, and then landed on the ground.

With a quick glimpse of the sky, I saw the terrain of a small half of the game map.

After landing, he found himself at the junction of a wasteland and a forest.

According to the "game strategy" taught before the game, Ted shouted: "System~"

A translucent data panel appeared before my eyes, revealing itself:

Ted Epifani, level 1 warrior, 10 points of magic, 1000 gold coins, 100 wood, 100 stone, 100 sulfur, 100 crystal, 100 mercury, 100 gems, no equipment, magic: magic arrows...

He has to rely on his only level 1 magic and these resources to recruit soldiers, plunder resources and territories, recruit more soldiers, intrigue with other warriors, and fight against the big devil.

Why does it feel a little difficult?
Especially in the early stages, the magic power is sealed in the game, and you have to rely on only 10 points of magic power and a level 1 magic arrow to protect yourself.

Forget recruiting soldiers. If we encounter any wild monsters, then...

Wait?! What's going on?
A rustling sound is approaching from a distance!

Something is approaching, very fast, and there are a lot of them!
Damn, run!

Ted ran into the woods.

In the live broadcast room, Ted, as the No. 1 seed, naturally attracted a lot of attention. The director almost glued the camera to him.

At this time, the female commentator, Ted's little fangirl, Nicole, shouted nervously, "Oh no! A group of wild wolves are approaching Ted! There are six of them, all level 1!"

"No, the bigger one is level 2! With Ted's 10 points of magic, I don't know if he can defeat it."

"He ran away. When the wolf was still quite far away, our contestant Ted seemed to have discovered something, and he ran towards the woods!"

"As expected of the No. 1 seed, so smart?"

"Ted runs so fast! Even his running posture is so handsome!"

"Ahem, be careful of the impact. But Ted is really fast!"

A group of people were wondering how Ted had discovered the approaching wolf in advance and his abnormal escape speed.

You are a wizard, but you run faster than a dog. Is that reasonable?
However, almost every warrior received a warning from the judges - almost everyone was hit by the first wave of monsters.

People like Ted are relatively miserable, as the monsters are very powerful.

There are probably three or four other monsters. As long as you carefully control your movement and magic power, it is not difficult to defeat them.

Of course, there are also those who are very lucky and just pass by the monster and go their separate ways.

That's you, Ron!

This kid unexpectedly missed the monster!

Until the first night arrived, the sun set, the moon rose, and the visibility in the game was greatly reduced.

Some wild monsters are starting to get restless. If you wander around, the chance of encountering monsters will greatly increase.

At this time, 5 hours have passed since the start of the game - in the game!
Dumbledore provided a special kind of magic, a kind of time magic that was banned outside.

All time magic has the potential to cause damage to the real world and interfere with the normal flow of time.

But in this magically constructed game world, it can be used.

Therefore, there is a difference between the game time and the display time now, and the maximum difference can be made to be 10 times!
However, the judges unanimously decided not to tell Ted and the others about this newly developed function, so as not to let the young wizards stay addicted to the game world for too long.

Of course, Ted didn't need them to teach him.

Any action carried out in the utopia could not escape his observation.

This new function of speeding up time has been copied by the Spirit Crystal Servant Kapa and can be used at any time in Utopia.

I have to say that Old Deng has some good stuff! Ted was shocked when he first saw this function.

The time-turners had been banned and destroyed ten years earlier.

Even in Nicolas Flamel's warehouse, only one scrapped one was kept.

I didn't expect that Old Dumbledore could perform such magic! Awesome!
Moreover, given Dumbledore's temper, if he didn't want to teach, he wouldn't have shown this magic. So, he did it on purpose?

But speaking of the Time Turner, Ted remembered what Draco had said to him a few days ago: "I have secretly checked and found that there is indeed a Time Turner hidden in our family's secret vault. But if I say to destroy it, my father will definitely not agree! I plan to steal it out after a while, and then you can deal with it!"

……

In the game, five or six hours had already passed, and the effect of the first wave of monsters was better than the judges had imagined.

At least six warriors were injured in the first wave of attacks, and even some supplies were lost.

Unexpectedly, there was a warrior from the Russian team who was unlucky enough to be trapped in an unfavorable terrain. After killing four monsters, he was bitten to death by the last one!

He has basically locked up the elimination spot~
Now, at the very beginning, the Russian team only had one warrior left.

Some are eliminated, and naturally some perform outstandingly.

For example, Krum was attacked by three monsters. He cleverly used the terrain to circle around them and used magic flexibly. He killed the three monsters without much effort.

Not only did you gain experience, you also gained 20 gold coins and 1 crystal.

There were six monsters in Ted's wave, and he fled decisively without fighting.

But Klum wasn’t the best performer yet.

There was also a lucky red-haired boy who encountered a wild building - a mill - without encountering any danger!
He spent 240 gold coins and recruited 24 level 1 farmers as troops.

He was the first one everyone recruited!
People in the live broadcast room call him the red-haired boy, Lucky Ron!

……

By noon the next day, more than one-third of the warriors had recruited soldiers.

There are goblins, murlocs, skeletons, fairies, and kobolds...

At this time, Ron had already recruited 2 level 16 jackals!

Although teaming up with peasants and gnolls will lower morale, he already has 40 troops, and some are level 2!
Of course, there are lucky Ron and unlucky eggs~
Both of them were unlucky, as they didn't encounter any warriors who were recruiting buildings.

Originally, neither side wanted to have a conflict and had agreed to back off and part ways.

As a result, after both sides retreated for a distance, they chose to turn around quietly and chase after the other party, intending to follow the other side and take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

All I can say is that it’s a move taught by a master and I can’t break it.

The two sides bumped into each other while lurking, and then started fighting without saying a word.

A few minutes later, both of them died.

There was a lot of joy in the live broadcast room~
Well, everyone is happy~
I had dinner with friends and typed until after 12 o'clock.

Sadly, I still have to pay for the meal.
