Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 289, Section 287: Dragon Language! It's the legendary Dragon Language!

Inside the Triwizard Tournament tent, amidst the boisterous cheers outside, staff handed Harry and the others a bag containing 200:1 scale miniature models of four dragons. Dudley had taken the previous four small dragon models.

They need to draw lots in advance so that if Dali fails, they can immediately take over.

When it was Harry's turn to draw lots, he waved to the staff, "No need to draw lots, it's pointless."

Based on his understanding of Brother D, he no longer needed to worry about facing those four dragons.

Brother D never does anything he's not confident about. If he says he can deal with a four-headed dragon, then he definitely can.

Harry trusted Dudley, but the others did not.

"He has no chance of succeeding. You'd better be prepared," Furong said. Her complexion had improved a lot, and some color had returned to her pale lips.

Harry glanced at her indifferently, without finishing his sentence or responding to her.

She didn't like Dudley, and she didn't like her either.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Fleur, having been turned away, ignored Harry and went to the staff to draw lots.

When she revealed the order in which she had drawn her cards, her furrowed brows immediately relaxed.

"Looks like I'm in luck."

She drew the Welsh Green Dragon, which was the one she was most confident she could handle. By the way, Viktor drew the Fireball Dragon.

Meanwhile, at the competition venue, both dragons were already following behind Dali.

"How did he do that? It's unbelievable."

Following Wells the Green Dragon, Dudley used the same method to "persuade" Fireball Dragon.

The Fireball Dragon's temper is naturally much more fiery than the Green Dragon's, but it is much better than the other two Fire Dragons. It is very tolerant of its fellow Fire Dragons and is even willing to share a territory with one or two other Fire Dragons.

This would be inconceivable among other dragons.

"I know how he did it!"

Suddenly, Bagman, who was in charge of the commentary, spoke loudly. His voice was amplified through the magical megaphone and spread throughout the venue. Attracted by the content of his words, the audience all turned to look at him.

Not only the audience, but even the other judges looked at him.

He glanced around mysteriously, then lowered his voice and whispered a single word.

"Dragon Language!"

He exclaimed excitedly, as if he had uncovered a tremendous secret.

"It's dragon language! I've been observing him for a long time, especially when he's talking to those two dragons. Hehe, there's something I haven't told you all, I can actually read lips. Mr. Dursley isn't communicating with those two dragons in our language at all, but in another language."

"The only way to communicate with a fire dragon is through the legendary Dragon Language!"

This statement shocked everyone present, but upon closer examination, it made perfect sense. No matter what method was used to coerce or entice, it was truly unbelievable that two fire dragons could be "persuaded" in such a short time.

If it's dragon language, then it's much easier to understand. Legend has it that dragon language has a unique charm that makes fire dragons regard wizards who use dragon language as their own kind, and can greatly gain the favor of fire dragons.

It can be said that every wizard who can speak the language of dragons is a top-notch dragon tamer.

You see, Dumbledore possesses an exceptional talent for languages, understanding the languages ​​of many demi-humans and magical creatures (mermaids are classified as magical creatures), including merfolk and goblin languages. It's not surprising that his prized student can speak dragon language.

Bullshit!

Dragon language has been lost for many, many years. Records of dragon language in the history of magic date back thousands of years. Only wizards with extremely high language talent can master this language.

Having high talent is one thing, but the important thing is that the skill has been lost!

"Only Dragon Language can explain this."

As Bagman said, everything only made sense if Dali could speak the dragon language; otherwise, how could he have gotten the green dragon and the fireball dragon to follow him?

The news that Hogwarts' champions have mastered the language of dragons, a language lost for countless years, would surely shock the entire wizarding world if it were published.

The audience was incredibly excited, not only because they could see a wizard who could speak dragon language, but also because they could see someone fight four fire dragons single-handedly. This ticket was definitely worth it!

The other judges on the panel also had different expressions: Lucius remained calm, Madam Maxim stared in disbelief, and Dumbledore was composed.

Karkaroff glanced sideways at Dumbledore, and at that moment he finally understood.

"Dumbledore, so that's why you voted for it instead of against it. You really knew Dragon Language, you were quite the hidden master. Giving up Harry Potter guarantees another warrior's points, thus maximizing our chances of winning even if we lose the next match."

"As expected of you."

Seemingly noticing the other's gaze, Dumbledore turned and gave Karkaroff a standard smile.

Karkaroff did not respond to Dumbledore, but instead turned his head back with a cold face and cast a sinister and vicious glance at Dudley in the center of the arena.

"Perhaps you could use the same method to deal with the Swedish short-nosed dragon, but that Hungarian wood wasp is not someone you can communicate with."

Hungarian hornets are extremely violent.

You can't convince it with just a few words, even if you use the language of dragons.

Just as Karkaroff had predicted, Dudley ran into some trouble with the Swedish short-nosed dragon (also known as the blue dragon). The Swedish short-nosed dragon rarely interacted with humans and was very wary when it saw Dudley. Even though Dudley tried his best to communicate with it, it still breathed a mouthful of blue flame at him.

This is a unique breath characteristic of the Swedish Brachynotaurus, just like the Fireballosaurus would spew mushroom-shaped fireballs from its nostrils.

The blue flames are extremely hot and can turn wood and bones to ashes in an instant. They are a very dangerous flame, and many wizards have lost their lives to them.

The sudden breath caused the audience on stage to scream repeatedly, and some of the more timid ones even closed their eyes. Karkarov's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he revealed a cruel smile.

Fortunately, Dali was agile and dodged the breath attack.

However, Dudley eventually succeeded in "persuading" the Swedish Brachysaurus, which lowered its proud head in front of Dudley.

The audience breathed a sigh of relief, while Karkaroff looked resentful.

Then, with his three dragons, Dali turned to the last of the four fire dragons in this challenge—the Hungarian Tree Bee Dragon—amidst the expectant gazes of the audience!

"If the Swedish short-nosed saurus has such a violent temper, the Hungarian hornet scorpion will surely tear him to pieces."

Karkarov thought to himself.

"Could he possibly command other fire dragons to attack the Tree Bee Dragon?"

However, it seems everyone has forgotten one thing: Dudley's mission was not to fight the four dragons, but to get the golden egg from them.
