"As expected of a disciple of the Heavenly Master, your mind is pure and clear." Bi Youlong praised Hu Xiuwu, and then said with some embarrassment, "Tsk, we actually won the first place. This is not going to be easy."
If it was just winning the game, it would be a win, but this time the Goblet of Fire was at stake.
The winner will gain custody of the Goblet of Fire.
Hey, this is a treasure made by Merlin. Would Europe really be willing to let people from China take it away?
I hope we won’t start arguing again.
On the other side, Zhang Lingyu, who had just put down the Goblet of Fire, was a little dazed. Spencer, the only referee left on the field, handed Zhang Lingyu a small purse.
"Congratulations on becoming the final winner of the Goblet of Fire. The one thousand gold Galleons that the British Ministry of Magic mentioned earlier are all here."
He was the only one present who was directing the process. Madame Maxime, the headmaster of Beauxbatons, was confused, and Igor Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang, was nervous.
Behemoth's director Raymond Tillerson had a sour face, probably because he had made all the preparations, even had arranged for a substitute player, and was eager to try, but he found out that the friends around him had privately set up a group and organized games without inviting him at all.
"As for the other rewards, we will have to wait until Dumbledore and the others return. We have had enough to do today."
Spencer naturally knew why Dumbledore suddenly took Fudge away, and this was even the situation he wanted to see.
"But don't worry. I told your boss, Mr. Bi, that he will not break his promise about the reward."
Spencer glanced at Bi Youlong who was paying attention to this place.
Hu Xiuwu, who had been absent-minded, finally came back to his senses and said vaguely, "Oh, okay."
After finally completing the process, 'Zhang Lingyu' finally left the public's sight.
Fortunately, he had ruthlessly eliminated Fleur in the Labyrinth Year, Krum was knocked unconscious by Cedric, and Cedric was under the Imperius Curse and was unconscious, so no one bothered him privately.
After getting rid of the rest of the people he was not familiar with, Hu Xiuwu did not join up with Bi Youlong and others. He found an excuse, made a few prevarications, and left alone.
But he did not leave, he just stood in the corner, closed his eyes and meditated.
After a moment, he closed his eyes and raised his head as if looking at the sky. Then his figure twisted and rotated as if encountering a wormhole, and shrank rapidly. When he twisted into a point, he disappeared.
Hu Xiuwu could actually Apparate in Hogwarts.
There is a powerful anti-Apparition ward inside Hogwarts. No one except the headmaster can Apparite on campus, not even Voldemort.
In an instant, the stars shifted.
Hu Xiuwu's figure reappeared outside the forbidden forest, beside the eagle returning to its nest.
Hu Xiuwu opened his eyes and looked around, feeling a little surprised.
"I never thought that the winner of the Goblet of Fire would have such a hidden benefit. It seems that after the people of the Forest Country were expelled and the Goblet of Fire had not been opened for four hundred years, many things in the European Inhuman World have been lost."
Hu Xiuwu confirmed that he had indeed arrived at the Feng Shui site he had created for the eagle to return to its nest. He stood on the acupuncture point of the Feng Shui site, and buried underneath was his Animagus potion.
In the hall before, after he raised the Goblet of Fire, a tremendous will was transmitted to him from the Goblet of Fire. That will was vast and boundless, like the deep sea, like a big tree, like a mountain, and it filled the heaven and earth like a Titan. Compared with it, Hu Xiuwu's will was like Sun Wukong in the palm of Tathagata.
This was the will that Hu Xiuwu had ever seen, second only to that of the Snake God.
Fortunately, this will was only examining Hu Xiuwu and repeatedly testing his mind, as if a teacher was assessing his qualifications.
In the end, it dug out the sacrificial character in Hu Xiuwu's heart, which was completely consistent with the will left by many predecessors within it. After leaving its mark on him, it returned to the Goblet of Fire with satisfaction, jumping like an ordinary flame.
This assessment was over in just a moment, and even Spencer, who was close at the time, did not notice anything.
The mark wanted to be engraved on Hu Xiuwu's soul, but it failed to break through Luo Fengtian's defense. It only left a new pattern that resembled a sacred tree outside the twelve patterns on the soul's imperial robe.
Although the mark of the sacred tree was engraved on the emperor's robe, it still gave Hu Xiuwu a new ability.
The winner of the Goblet of Fire is also a candidate for Wang Wei, and his priority is extremely high among the candidates for Wang Wei. If a Wang Wei dies, he can have the privilege of being a Wang Wei candidate who directly fills the position.
Therefore, the Goblet of Fire Warriors can obtain a privilege from Wang Wei in advance.
Teleport at will within the range covered by the roots of the sacred tree, which is now called the Floo Network.
Hu Xiuwu now doesn't even need to use the nodes of the current Floo network, he can move freely at any time and anywhere. He now wants to be the master of the Floo network even more than the Jade Academy.
Hu Xiuwu smiled secretly: If the Ministry of Magic and the Emerald Society knew that the Goblet of Fire won, they could directly use the Floo Network and have higher authority than them. Spencer would probably regret letting outsiders get involved.
The Emerald Academy's research on the Floo Network has not made any substantial progress for a long time.
Chapter 293 Blue Bird
The Goblet of Fire Tournament, which lasted for half a year, finally came to an end today. There is no need for outsiders like Hu Xiuwu to stay in Hogwarts anymore, and the time to return home is just around the corner.
However, the weather was not good during this period and no storm came. Hu Xiuwu's Animagus was still one step away.
Originally, Hu Xiuwu was thinking of asking the Taoist priest for help after the competition.
Hu Xiuwu used the Earthly Evil Order to tamper with the Earth's Qi, and the Heavenly Master used the Five Thunder Method to cover up the sky, artificially creating an environment where the secrets of heaven were obscured, thus completing the Animagus.
If the mountain is not mine, I will move it!
However, since the Goblet of Fire Warriors actually have such good benefits, and he happens to know a place where the situation is obscure today, it is a good opportunity to get a ride.
Taking this opportunity to complete the last step of Animagus, I can save myself a lot of trouble and I won't have to pay the price of concealing the secret.
Sitting down on the spot and waiting for the right moment, Hu Xiuwu thought about it in his mind:
After all, Voldemort is a master of dark magic who can be compared with Dumbledore.
In the hands of Dumbledore and the Taoist priest, it can at least last five minutes, right?
Just wait here for five minutes before going over.
In addition, Hu Xiuwu was also worried that the Polyjuice Potion would affect the Animagus potion, so he also needed to wait for the effect of the Polyjuice Potion to end.
With nothing to do, Hu Xiuwu recited the "Miraculous Sutra of the Most High Mysterious and Wonderful Heavenly Venerable for Saving the Suffering and Removing Sins" for the salvation of souls as a token of his gratitude. Then he stood up and recalled the appearance of Voldemort's grave just now in his mind.
Hu Xiuwu dissipated like mist,
Also disappearing at the same time was the soil beneath his feet and the potion.
"Ouch!"
When Hu Xiuwu opened his eyes again, he almost didn't recognize where he was.
Golden coffin, tombstone, Death Eaters; Fiendfyre, golden light, Voldemort.
All gone,
There is only a vast expanse of white earth left, so clean.
If it weren't for the warmth of the soft white ashes under his feet, Hu Xiuwu would have thought he had gone to the wrong place and accidentally arrived in Antarctica.
Looking around, there was not even a slope to be seen within a hundred meters of the battlefield. The Tianshi's skill in plowing the land was really great.
Hu Xiuwu exclaimed in praise and then looked up at the sky.
The leaden clouds are like a curtain, and the sky is dark.
Looking down at the ground,
The earth's Qi is weak and the Feng Shui collapses.
The world is in chaos, which is a good time to practice Animagus.
Hu Xiuwu struck out with his palm, and the wind from his palm hit the piece of soil he brought back.
The palm wind was like a scraper, making the pile of earth like an ice cube on a hot pot. The surface quickly disappeared and gradually became smaller, until only the crystal medicine bottle was left.
The potion in the bottle has turned as bright red as a rose.
"Just right."
Hu Xiuwu pinched the slender neck of the medicine bottle and flicked his thumb towards the mouth of the bottle. Sword energy swirled around his fingers, cutting the seal and the bottleneck apart.
Then he tilted his head back and drank the medicine in the bottle in one gulp.
The medicine bottle fell from my hand.
Hu Xiuwu felt that during this period of time, he often sensed a second heartbeat that seemed far away and vague, but now it became more and more obvious, like a drumbeat about to reach its climax.
When the second heartbeat became dominant, it gradually obscured his original heartbeat.
Hu Xiuwu felt an intense pain in his body, as if all the bones and muscles in his body were broken and reshaped. He felt as if he had turned into a ball of mud and returned to Nuwa's hands, being patted and kneaded by her again.
According to the records in the book and the key points of cultivation reminded by Dumbledore, Hu Xiuwu followed this power and restrained his body and mind. He did not resist this power, nor did he shrink back, but moved forward courageously.
Many wizards have failed in their attempts to become Animagus because of the severe pain of rebuilding their bodies, which caused them to feel fear and regret, causing the power of the spell to stagnate and prevent them from fully unleashing the power of the spell. As a result, only a portion of the spell was completed, and they became neither human nor demon.
It's still good if it just grows an animal head and its arms turn into wings. Some Animagus forms are insects and fish, and mistakes can easily put people's lives in danger.
Furthermore, if an Animagus makes a mistake, he cannot transform back on his own and can only recover slowly with the help of a doctor.
Along with severe pain, Hu Xiuwu felt that his body was slowly shrinking. His clothes and magic tools were shrinking into his body. Something was constantly growing out of the pores on the surface of his skin, sticking closely to his skin and blocking the cold wind.
Soon the refreshing young man disappeared, and in his place appeared a bird that looked like a sparrow, with blue feathers tinged with green, like the blue sky after a rain. The elegant and beautiful bird was twisting its head in place.
Although this bird is not as famous as the crow or the goshawk, it is not unknown either.
That's the bluebird.
According to legend, the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West once led King Mu of Zhou to meet the Queen Mother of the West.
Hu Xiuwu raised his wings and nodded his head with satisfaction.
According to legend, the blue bird is the messenger between humans and gods, and is the link between humans and gods. This is exactly what he is like.
However, the bluebird itself is not a natural spiritual species like the fire dragon. It is just as intelligent as the black cat, raven, white snake, etc. It will wander in places rich in spiritual energy according to its instinct, so it is revered and admired by the world and recorded in books.
However, although Hu Xiuwu turned into a bluebird, he had been a human for twenty years but had never had the experience of being a bird. He was not very comfortable walking with his two long and thin claws, and was as clumsy as a newborn chick.
It took just two steps before it fell to the ground, curled up on the ground with its fur fluffy and round like a blue ball.
It is so cute and beautiful, no wonder the Queen Mother of the West raises the blue bird as her messenger.
However, Hu Xiuwu was not in the mood to appreciate his appearance at the moment. He sighed: I can't even walk so clumsily, let alone fly. It seems that being a bird also requires practice.
In this case, there is no need for Hu Xiuwu to stay here. He has already wasted a lot of time tonight. In order to avoid worrying Tianshi and Bi Youlong, it is better for him to return to Hogwarts first.
Hu Xiuwu recalled his original physical appearance. Relying on his control and understanding of his physical body, Hu Xiuwu successfully switched back to human form in one go.
Then he returned to Hogwarts through the Floo Network, and returned to the guest room. Zhang Lingyu had transformed back to normal, and the Taoist priest had also returned.
Zhang Zhiwei was clean and tidy, and there was no sign at all that he had just fought against Voldemort, the embodiment of fear in the hearts of British wizards.
Bi Youlong was listening as Zhang Zhiwei told him what had happened after he and Dumbledore left. Zhang Zhiwei spoke eloquently and with cadence.
At this time, although the Taoist priest was wearing a Taoist robe, he did not look like a Taoist priest, but more like a street storyteller.
