Train to Another World.

Chapter 556 The Second Project

I don't know where the news leaked from, or someone cracked it themselves, but two students from other schools have learned the content of the second project. After all, if there is no special reason, who would jump into the Black Lake in the middle of winter?

Of course, there are winter swimming enthusiasts in this world. But winter swimming enthusiasts will not wrap themselves in bubbles created by magic and then sink directly into the lake without even taking off their clothes.

It was obvious that they were familiarizing themselves with the venue for the second exam. Outside of the competition, the fishmen in the lake had an agreement with Hogwarts and would not attack wizards. The two of them could then swagger to the bottom of the lake to visit the fishmen village.

Li Zhuoguang certainly had no interest in paying attention to the two weaklings, as Malfoy had told him all these things. When Malfoy saw the two warriors from other schools walking out the door after finishing their breakfast, he watched them walk out the door with a vicious look in his eyes.

Malfoy turned around and said, "Boss, why don't you take advantage of them diving into the Black Lake and give them a hard blow, preferably one that can make them withdraw from the competition."

Li Zhuoguang shook his head: "That's not necessary."

Malfoy suddenly realized: "I see, Boss, you want to give them a hard blow during the game."

Li Zhuoguang held his forehead and sighed, "Why don't you understand? I'm just going through the motions in this competition. I never thought about signing up from the beginning, and now I just want to finish the competition quickly. As for who the champion is, it doesn't matter to me at all."

Malfoy looked at Li Zhuoguang pitifully: "But, this is the champion of the Triwizard Tournament after all."

"Do you know what great deeds the previous champions of the Triwizard Tournament did later?"

"Um... I'm not sure. The Triwizard Tournament hasn't been held for two hundred years. I need to go home and check."

"If those brave men who won the championship in those days eventually became great wizards, then the title of the Triwizard Tournament champion would be meaningless to them. After all, you have been thinking for so long and still can't think of one. If the champion brave men did not become great wizards, then this championship is nothing more than that."

Malfoy nodded, not quite understanding: "It seems like this."

"So, the champion of the Triwizard Tournament is not important. If the result of this competition is relatively successful, then according to convention, it will be held again in five years. If you are interested then..."

"Hey! Scarhead!" Malfoy didn't hear what Li Zhuoguang was saying because Harry was passing by. Malfoy puffed up his chest and showed off the Potter stinking shit badge on his chest.

Well, Li Zhuoguang thought that maybe the Triwizard Tournament was not as important to Malfoy as picking on Harry. After all, after Harry completed the first project, Malfoy was the only one in the entire Hogwarts who still wore the badge.

Harry heard Malfoy's shouting, but he nodded at Malfoy and walked away, causing Malfoy to shut up in boredom.

After talking with Li Zhuoguang, Harry tried to see deeper than the surface. In his opinion, Malfoy didn't have much bad intentions, but was just a little... childish.

Snape has not had a peaceful life these past few days.

"Potter, is there a troll's brain inside your skull? Why didn't you stir it thoroughly before turning off the heat?!"

"I'm sorry, Professor." Harry apologized honestly. After all, he was not stupid and could see Snape's intention.

"Gryffindor will deduct 3 points for your stupid mistake. If you don't brew the underwater breathing potion today, you won't be able to leave the get out of class."

"Good professor."

Today, we taught you how to drink the underwater breathing potion, and the day before yesterday, we taught you how to apply the warming ointment on your body to allow you to stand naked in the snow. The next step is the cat's eye potion that allows you to see in the dark. After this class, Harry will be able to move underwater. And the best part is that there will be no obvious external symptoms when using these potions, so he can use them before the game.

Harry was kind-hearted. Since he used the raw materials provided by Snape to make the potion, he tried to prepare as much as possible each time and fill an extra bottle to take away.

Then he entrusted Malfoy to give it to Li Zhuoguang. Because it was about Li Zhuoguang, even though Malfoy and Harry didn't get along, he could only take the bottle of medicine with disgust and put it on the head of Li Zhuoguang's bed.

Although Li Zhuoguang had no use for these potions, he still accepted them. After all, it was the other party's kindness, and these raw materials were given to Snape by Li Zhuoguang. Now they just returned to his hands in a different way.

On the day before the competition, Pojun found Li Zhuoguang and said, "Brother Li, they wanted to knock me out and put me in the water for you to find me, but I didn't agree."

Li Zhuoguang nodded: "You did a good job. You must not lose consciousness at any time. This is very dangerous."

Li Zhuoguang thought for a moment and asked, "If you don't agree, who will they hypnotize?"

Po Jun shook his head: "I left after that, I'm not sure."

Li Zhuoguang looked around and found that Malfoy was gone. Damn!
Early in the morning, everyone came to the Black Lake, where a grandstand had been built. It was cloudy, and the cold wind blew across the Black Lake, penetrating people's clothes. The teachers and students on the grandstand wrapped themselves tightly, but still felt cold.

Andrew and Lucia were ready, both wearing Muggle one-piece swimsuits. Harry was similarly dressed in swimming trunks. He stood naked in the winter wind, not shivering at all. It seemed that the ointment he had prepared was working.

As for Li Zhuoguang, he was still wearing his usual robes as in the first project, and he looked unprepared. But anyone who had seen his previous performance knew that he would definitely find a way to pass the second project.

Ludo Bagman had joined the warriors and told them to line up on the shore. "Listen up everyone. Our warriors are in their positions. When I blow the whistle, the second task will begin. They have exactly one hour to regain the treasure that has been taken from them. I will count to three. One...two...three!"

A sharp whistle sounded, and cheers and applause broke out from the stands. The warriors rushed to jump into the black lake. However, Li Zhuoguang remained on the shore.

Because they couldn't see the scene in the water, the audience focused their attention on him, but they only saw him looking at the surface of the Black Lake with an expressionless face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Li Zhuoguang's circle had quietly expanded, and with his current mental capacity, he easily reached the bottom of the lake. As expected, four students were tied up with ropes and placed in a place similar to a square.

Li Zhuoguang didn't know the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, but the two from Hogwarts were Hermione and Malfoy. Damn it, when did Malfoy become his baby?

Li Zhuoguang curled his lips in disdain, stretched out his finger, and pointed it at the lake. A tiny ripple spread across the lake, and soon, the rope that was entangled with Malfoy was cut off.

Then he seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and floated towards the lake. Many mermen who were guarding the hostages wanted to stop him, but Malfoy had a repulsive force that pushed them away as soon as they got close.

I could only watch him drift further and further away.

Harry was an honest boy after all, and he had never thought of scouting the area before the game, and was still looking for a way out. Suddenly, with his eyesight enhanced by the cat's eye mixture, he saw a platinum light in the distance approaching him rapidly.

Harry quickly pulled out the wand clipped to his swimming trunks and stood on guard nervously, but as the light got closer, Harry realized that it was not a bright light, but just the reflection of the faint light from the bottom of the lake, and he always felt that he had seen the same color somewhere.

As the unidentified object got closer, Harry finally saw what it was. He stared blankly at the unconscious Malfoy, who passed by him quickly and then continued to drift towards the lake.

There was only one question in his mind: How did Li Zhuoguang bribe Heihu?
