Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

"But why did they spread such a rumor to lure me to the Ministry of Magic?" Lost in thought, Voldemort's gaze inadvertently fell upon his father's grave.

Voldemort: (キ｀?Д??)!!

"You guys...did you disturb my guy's grave?!"

Death Eaters: [?_??]

“This… wasn’t it you who ordered us to dig this up, Master? And you… took a leg bone and left in a hurry, just a short while ago.”

Voldemort: ヽ(゜Q.)ノ?

Upon hearing this, Voldemort was stunned. When had he returned?

"We were wondering why you did this, because back then you... weren't like this, but... the way you were as an adult..."

Voldemort: (キ｀?Д??)!!

"You bunch of idiots! That's not me at all!!!"

Death Eaters: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"Someone... dares to impersonate... Master?" At this moment, the Death Eaters' minds were a little overloaded, because the possibility of someone impersonating a Death Eater had never crossed their minds before.

But now it has truly happened right before their eyes.

"Find him! How dare he impersonate Voldemort! I'll turn the entire wizarding world upside down to find him! I want to see who dares to be so audacious."

304 Ye Feng: Water the maze.

Because of Voldemort's words, the Death Eaters, who had been dormant for a long time, became active again. Although Voldemort II and Lucius obtained the remains of Voldemort's father, they were not in a hurry to resurrect.

The reason is simple: Lucius was with Voldemort II when he came to collect the bones, so he was wanted by the Death Eaters, or rather, his whole family was wanted.

Although Lucius believed his castle was strong enough, practically impregnable, this matter concerned his and his family's lives, so he decisively took his family and ran away with Voldemort II.

If he hadn't run, Voldemort wouldn't have been sure. But the moment he ran, Voldemort was certain that Lucius had betrayed him, so he immediately issued a kill order against the Malfoy family.

However, Lucius had already seized the opportunity to run away, and Malfoy had been told by him not to leave the school and to stay by Ye Feng's side. So, although the Death Eaters and Voldemort hated him to death, they couldn't do anything to his family.

Meanwhile, Lucius, who had already reached a place where even the Death Eaters couldn't find him, was discussing with Voldemort II whether they should lure some Death Eaters over and then control them.

Of course, it would be best if we could turn them to the enemy directly, because Voldemort II is missing one thing to be fully resurrected: the flesh of his servants.

At first, Voldemort thought that as long as he got his father's remains, he could be resurrected. But when they had basically prepared the materials for the resurrection, a very serious problem suddenly occurred to them.

Lucius... could he be considered Voldemort's second servant?

At first, Voldemort II was inclined to believe it was true, but after only a brief exchange, Voldemort II was certain that Lucius was definitely not, for a very simple reason.

Lucius was never truly loyal to Voldemort. You could say that 119 out of his 120 pounds of body were rebellious, and the remaining 1 pound was fear.

However, he hid himself very well, so Voldemort never discovered him.

Whether Voldemort or Voldemort II wanted to be resurrected, they both needed their servants to voluntarily offer their flesh, and Lucius did not meet either of these requirements.

Therefore, Voldemort II's resurrection failed before it even began, and they had to find another way.

Because of this, after they went into hiding, they began to discuss whether to lure a Death Eater over to see if they could capture him and control him with the Imperius Curse, or simply turn him to their side.

If it were anyone else, Lucius and his companions wouldn't dare to do such a thing, but his accomplice was Voldemort II, and the target was Voldemort's loyal Death Eaters.

Although he is called Voldemort II, he is actually the real Voldemort, only this Voldemort has been tampered with.

Therefore, it would be difficult for others to turn those Death Eaters who were determined to follow Voldemort against him, but it was still possible for Lucius and his group to do so.

However, this wasn't something they could simply have, because... they seemed to have hidden themselves too well; the Death Eaters hadn't been able to find them.

This situation left Lucius somewhat amused and exasperated.

The fact that the Death Eaters couldn't find them meant they were indeed very well hidden, which was a good thing. However, now they needed some Death Eaters to be able to discover them.

However, they are hiding too well now, and the Death Eaters can't find a trace of them no matter how hard they search, which makes them a little uncomfortable.

They initially considered revealing some information themselves, but after careful consideration, they gave up because they were afraid that if they didn't control the degree of exposure, they would end up selling themselves out.

With no other option, they could only wait and see if any lucky person would find them.

Voldemort's side has fallen into an eerie calm, and Hogwarts is in a similar state. However, whether things are truly peaceful and tranquil will only be known when the truth comes out.

Meanwhile, in the maze where the three-way battle was being held, a fair-skinned, handsome boy, exuding a serene and natural aura, was carefully watering the plants in the maze with a watering can.

"Come, come, drink more. This is spiritual spring water that I drew from the spiritual lake in my personal immortal field. Although it has been diluted with 'a billion' of water, it is still a rare and highly nourishing substance for you."

Perhaps these plants understood the boy's words, or perhaps the spiritual spring water he spoke of was indeed highly nourishing and beneficial to these plants.

After the boy poured the water down from the kettle, all the roots and stems of the plants where the spring water fell surged wildly, as if they had come alive. Some roots even started fighting, all in an effort to absorb more of the spiritual spring water.

Seeing this, the boy smiled and said softly, "No need to fight, drink slowly, there's enough for everyone. I've prepared about ten millimeters of rainfall for the entire Hogwarts, that should be enough."

Some people may think that 10 millimeters of rainfall is very little, but if you do the math, you'll find that it's actually a terrifying amount.

Ten millimeters of rainfall means that if this water were spread out in a Hogwarts-sized area, it would be ten millimeters deep. And if all of this water were collected together, it would not be enough to fill one or two swimming pools.

If this water were used for the entire Hogwarts' daily water supply, it wouldn't seem like much, but... Ye Feng used it to water the plants in the maze, which is a bit outrageous, after all, this is spiritual spring water, even if it's been diluted, it's still spiritual spring water.

In many novels, a little bit of spiritual spring water is enough for the protagonist to rise to prominence at a certain point in time, while a spiritual herb that can stir up a bloody storm may only need one or two buckets of spiritual spring water to nourish it from birth to maturity.

Now, Ye Feng needs to use the equivalent of several swimming pools' worth of water to irrigate the plants in this maze... All I can say is, good luck to Harry and his friends.

However, it is clear that Ye Feng, the instigator of this incident, did not realize how terrifying it was. In his view, it was just a few buckets of water mixed with spiritual spring water that had been tainted with a trace of immortal energy, and he had plenty of that.

He had no idea that his seemingly insignificant, very ordinary things, when thrown out, could cause a sensation throughout the entire Hogwarts wizarding world.

To put it bluntly, his stuff would cause quite a stir if it were thrown into some cultivation world.

Those spiritual plants harvested from the personal immortal fields, especially the slightly better ones, caused a bloodbath, after all... those were spiritual plants tainted with immortal energy.

Of course, Ye Feng knew none of this, because he had never been to other worlds, nor had he ever come into contact with any supernatural forces other than magic.

Thus, without anyone's knowledge, a terrifying maze quietly appeared.

Of course, since the watering has only just begun, and no one except Ye Feng has entered the maze yet, no one knows about this.

While sitting in his office drinking tea, Dumbledore suddenly felt a pain in his liver for some reason.

Dumbledore: "Hiss~ What's wrong? Did I eat too much cake yesterday? Looks like I'll have to eat less sweets in the future."

"Yes, I promise, I'll only eat a tiny bit each day."

The 305 Maze "came to life"

There's an old saying that goes, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."

However! This statement doesn't quite apply to Ye Feng, because while Ye Feng himself, as the person directly involved, is confused, those who are merely bystanders at Hogwarts may not necessarily be able to see things clearly.

The reason is simple: neither Ye Feng himself nor anyone at Hogwarts knew exactly how strong Ye Feng was or how rare the items he brought out were.

Thus, the extremely precious spiritual spring water was used to water flowers, grass, vines, and other ordinary plants—a truly wasteful act.

However, neither side was aware of this, so the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts proceeded as scheduled.

Although the winner is basically a foregone conclusion, Hogwarts, the other two schools, and the Ministry of Magic all insist on continuing the competition.

However, although they all agreed to continue, their reasons for persisting were slightly different.

The other two schools persisted for similar reasons: they felt they couldn't give up halfway, and even if they failed, they could learn valuable lessons and improve next time.

The Ministry of Magic, on the other hand, believed that the Triwizard Tournament, as an ancient competition, absolutely could not be interrupted halfway through, as this would seriously damage the Ministry's reputation. Therefore, regardless of the outcome, the Triwizard Tournament had to continue.

The reason for Hogwarts... the reason for Hogwarts is different from theirs. The main reason they insisted on continuing was because... Ye Feng was free.

Yes, it's precisely because Ye Feng is free that even they don't know what kind of trouble he will eventually cause.

Therefore, until the competition truly comes to an end, no one knows what the final result will be, because Ye Feng may very well eliminate himself halfway through.

This is not impossible, because it is very possible that Ye Feng suddenly discovered something interesting halfway through the competition and simply abandoned the competition and left.

Or perhaps, he suddenly discovers something interesting during the game, and then kills the game, turning it into something else entirely, or another game altogether.

This kind of thing has happened before, and everyone at Hogwarts knows very well that it would be too hasty to determine who the Triwizard Tournament champion is now.

So when the appointed day arrived, the maze was packed with people early in the morning. However, surprisingly, Ye Feng, one of the participants, did not show up.

Since the participants haven't arrived yet, the competition can't proceed. They can only wait, as the entry time into the maze is based on the ranking of the previous competition, with the person in front entering a few minutes earlier than the person behind.

The winner of the previous round was not him because Ye Feng deliberately lost, and he was not the first to enter. However, the Three Strongest Tournament does not have a rule that disqualifies someone for being late, so they can only wait.

Of course, they didn't just wait idly. After a while, they sent someone to find Ye Feng to see if they could urge him to arrive sooner, since it wouldn't be good to keep a large group of people waiting.

However, before they had even left, a slightly puzzled voice came from the entrance of the maze.

"Huh? Are you all here already? I thought you'd have to wait a while before everyone arrived."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, almost everyone instantly turned to look at the entrance of the maze, and then they saw a scene that made them gasp in disbelief.

Accompanied by that familiar voice, a familiar figure carrying a water jug ​​tilted his head slightly and walked toward Dumbledore, Fleur, and the others who were waiting there, with a hint of doubt on his face.

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

"Ye... Ye Feng? What are you doing in the maze? And... you're carrying a water bottle."

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Ye Feng immediately let go of the water bottle, and the water bottle vanished from his hand.

After putting the watering can away, Ye Feng explained, "I noticed that the plants in the maze weren't growing very well, so I watered them."

"Principal, look, aren't the plants in this maze much greener and more lush now?"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Dumbledore, who hadn't paid much attention to the maze before, looked up and carefully observed the plants that made up the maze. He then discovered that the plants in the maze did seem to be more lush and greener.

but…

"No, why did you go into the maze? This maze is very... um... I guess it's not impossible."

Grindelwald et al.: -_-||

Dumbledore originally intended to say that the maze was dangerous and that lower-grade students like Ye Feng shouldn't go in casually, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered that Ye Feng was not an ordinary student at all.

Other students, even Harry who was in the same grade as him, might be in danger entering the maze, but Ye Feng... if he went in, it wouldn't be him in danger, but the maze would be in danger. So Dumbledore swallowed back what he was going to say and changed it.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's get ready to start the competition."

"However, given that Mr. Ye Feng just came out of the maze, he is definitely more familiar with it than others."

"Therefore, to be fair, Mr. Ye Feng will be the last to enter the maze. And to be fair enough, this time will be extended to ten minutes."
