This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 583: What are you competing for? A comeback!

"Oh, unfortunately, contestant Mengtai answered incorrectly again and is disqualified from this dice roll."

Bagman's voice rang out, and Andrew tried to keep his expression calm.

No, it’s difficult, isn’t it?

Why can’t I answer the question I was asked?

And it's not just me. There have been five rounds of dice, and you've only moved two. Others are almost reaching the fighting area, and you've got to get up, Mengtai!

He now even suspected that the Goblet of Fire was broken. Monta's foundation was too poor. On what basis did such a warrior get selected?
Although we saw the dawn of the steam age, it was really frustrating that the first Hogwarts warrior to take the field was stuck in the grid.

Andrew could only glance at Dumbledore secretly, and after finding that the headmaster was very calm, he calmed himself down and continued watching the game.

"The rest of the warriors will be much better. Don't worry. If you get fat first, it's not considered fat. If you get fat later, it will collapse the kang."

He could only shift his attention back and continue thinking about the next round of questions.

The lever of the dice machine with steam technology was pulled down again, and a new round of problems arose.

Andrew's question was entered into the answer pool by chance, and Monton drew the question of Headmaster Beauxbatons.

‘It’s over. ’

As soon as the question was announced, Andrew had a bad feeling - the professor of magical creatures at Hogwarts was indeed very capable, but he was really bad at teaching, while the professor at Beauxbatons was a professional breeder.

As expected, Mrs. Meng didn't move again.

Moreover, because of two consecutive failures, the punishment was directly triggered. The ice under his feet broke directly as Bagman waved his wand, and then cold water poured out directly from below. If Monta had not used the Armor Charm in time, he would have been soaked in the ice water.

The assistants from the Ministry of Magic hurried forward and handed Montague a dry blanket, but it was not very effective - unless he could not hold on and had to withdraw from the competition or complete a round of competition, he would not be provided with potions to ward off the cold.

The only good news is that only the warriors from Durmstrang made a move in this round, and the questions in this round are obviously a bit difficult.

...

"Why not give him a reward to ask for help from his teammates? Otherwise, it would be really hard for him to be stuck there..."

Cedric discussed with his teammates quietly, but was opposed by the other two. "Don't worry, we need to accumulate rewards. Being one step ahead is not fast."

"Well, hopefully the next round will be easier."

Cedric shook his head.

Just as he wished - Meng Tai successfully answered the questions in this round, but he was still behind.

The rest of the group entered the battle area and began to meet slowly.

Then keep throwing, and throwing again…

After several rounds, Montague took two more steps, but the leading Durmstrang warrior had already eliminated one opponent to the starting point and was close to the finish line.

But at this moment, Irving's expression suddenly relaxed.

"I understand. It's really interesting."

A smile appeared on his face. "We have a bonus with a dice roll limit, right?"

"Yes." "Just answer wrongly at the intersection over there, and let Montaigne duel with them."

Irving answered confidently.

"But what's the use? Not to mention that he may not be able to gain the advantage in the duel. Even if he does, one of the opponents has already passed, and we can't win the championship."

Cedric shook his head. "A lot of people noticed this, so it's useless, Irving."

"It's useful. Duels have limitations. It's not just luck, it's also about strength. Don't forget, duels have a question-answering mode."

Irving's eyes lit up, "Can you three hold on?"

"how about you?"

"I found a loophole, or maybe it was a deliberate loophole - they never stipulated that you can't attack the field, but they only stipulated that you can't challenge the warriors who didn't play. I looked at all the rewards, and none of them were allowed."

Irving showed a smug expression on his face. "A simple ritual is enough. The entire playing field is on the ice."

As an orthodox Ravenclaw, his spell level was high enough to include some ritual magic, and finding loopholes was something Ravenclaws were especially good at. The worst students were all in Azkaban.

He briefly described his plan, "After the first person reaches the finish line, the four schools can send in the second contestant. Then you need to save up more rewards. When you choose to ask for help off-site, just ask their warriors to come in and help - who said you can only ask your teammates for help?"

"Then, I chose to use ritual magic to dissolve the entire competition venue. After everyone fell into the water, the competition naturally ended. In theory, I was the only one on the shore, and at that time we won first place."

"Okay, Granger and I will be in charge of extending the time, and you hurry up and cast the spell."

Cedric did a quick calculation and nodded decisively after finding that there was no problem with the rules - it would be easy for other houses to get into trouble, and the guys from Ravenclaw were very good at finding loopholes.

He had often heard his father complain about wizards who took advantage of loopholes. According to this logic, it would not be difficult for a Ravenclaw to find a loophole.

"We ask them for help, and what do you do if they ask you for help?"

"According to the rules, I am in the state of casting a spell. The other party cannot do anything that causes me harm. I cannot ask for help."

Irving nodded, looking confident.

"Recheck it. You will go on stage later. Mr. Meng will stay still and prepare to block the opponent. Then you will take the opportunity to collect rewards. After Mr. Meng eliminates an opponent, the three of you will use the help rewards at the same time to initiate an active duel. Each of you will be responsible for one school. I will take the opportunity to perform ritual magic and kill them all in the lake."

"The difficulty of the whole operation is that it's best for Monta to stop someone. You two can't win or lose the duel too quickly. According to the rules, Monta will fight two people, and you two must tie the question and answer with each other, and the number of correct answers cannot exceed three to determine the winner."

"If Meng Tai loses, it will be the same as before, but he will have to answer correctly in a row and rush to the battle area. We don't have that many rewards, and we can't have three duels and help at the same time."

Irving nodded, "It's a bit difficult, but this is how the table is turned. It's good enough to leave a chance. Counting the silent preparations in the early stage, you need to delay for me for five minutes."

"Let me try. It's not certain that two people can complement each other in subjects."

Cedric nodded, "But it's worth a try. We're a little behind on progress, but Montague's duel is still worth mentioning - especially the fists."

"What about you, Granger, challenging two seniors in a quiz duel at the same time, controlling the odds?"

Cedric looked at Hermione, "Irving can crush them if you can stop them."

"I can."

Hermione nodded heavily. Although she still felt that she was not fully prepared, it was obvious that this was the best opportunity. "Although I am not as good at dueling as Mrs. Montgomery, I still have some confidence in answering questions."
