The weather is already warming up, but the outside of the castle is still a bit cold.

The young wizards who are eating breakfast in the auditorium can hear the wind whistling from time to time, and the Forbidden Forest in the distance is blown by hua hua. Everyone sitting in the castle can hear it.

Fortunately, a clean sky and bright sunshine gave everyone a good mood.

Today is the 2 month 24 day, the third task of the third task began.

At this moment, Marx was sitting at the long table and enjoying a hearty breakfast. And just on the side of his plate, the scorpion obtained from the previous project was left there by him.

“McLorne, why don’t you hurry up?” Professor Orson said, “It’s already eight and thirty, and there’s only one hour left… I know you should be very sure, but… prepare more.” Certainly not wrong.”

It can be seen that his honor for Durmstrang is still very important. Marx is still in second place, which makes him a bit untenable.

“I think you should worry about yourself… the members of the referee group should be there first, aren’t they?” Marx said as he chewed the sausage.

“Oh-yes, that’s right–you can play, McLorne!” Orson said, and once again took out his pocket watch and looked at it. “Okay, okay! I really have to go first… remember Hurry up!”

Marx waved his hand and said he knew it.

When Professor Orson hurriedly left the auditorium, Marx was still eating slowly, and he didn’t seem to be in a hurry.

When the students in the auditorium gradually left, and when there were fewer and fewer people, he wiped his mouth and stood up with a donkey.

“McLorne, the game is about to begin… you should be admitted as soon as possible as a champion.”

A voice rang from behind Marx. He turned his head and found that he was the director of the International Magic Communication and Cooperation Department, Stinchcombe Crouch.

“Oh, of course – I am going to go over!” Marx said slightly nodded. “Mr. Crouch, are you not sick? Is your body okay?”

“Working with your heart, it’s no problem, I have let… um, Weatherby is back.” Crouch is still a serious face that is tight at the moment, and still has a business-speaking statement.

Of course, I still can’t remember the name of Percy Weasley.

“Please! All the champions are already at the rest…”

After Mr. Crouch said, he turned and walked outside the main hall of the auditorium. It seemed to be the way to lead Marx.

The venue of the competition is still in the wall where the first task is held.

In fact, since the beginning of last week, the site preparation has begun. Dumbledore once again participated in the construction of the competition venue. In terms of the time spent, the venue setting was obviously more complicated than the previous one.

“Mr. Crouch, I think… some things we have to talk about first…” Marx, who had been behind Crouch, suddenly stopped and said, “Yes, about this ‘riot’.”

“What are you talking about? What’s the riot?” Crouch looked back and frowned, revealing a puzzled look.

“Don’t play, no one hears here – we have to talk about it so as not to get setback!” Marx impatiently, “Do you understand?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about -” Crouch frowned more tightly, and he looked at Marx, his face inexplicably.

Marx was slightly coldly snorted, and Crouch immediately felt something on his stomach.

“I don’t know what I’m talking about? Don’t use me to help you recall, huh?” Marx snorted, “minibus-“

“Enough! OK!” Crouch suddenly lowered his shoulder and lowered his voice. “Don’t call my name here! Ok, let’s talk about it, talk about it… here!”

Originally there were very few people here – most of them had already rushed to the venue, and the little gestures of the two did not attract anyone’s attention.

In tandem, they quickly walked away from the open space in front of the castle, turned a corner, and walked into a garden on the side.

At the same time, in the tent next to the competition venue, the “champion break” wooden token…

“I… I’m here…” Harry said breathlessly, slipping at the tent’s mouth and slamming down at Fleur’s feet.

“Oh!”

Fleur, who was looking at the scorpion in her hand, was shocked. She hurriedly shrank her feet. Fortunately, Harry didn’t sit on her instep, or today’s game would be troublesome.

You know, she was upset because of the stuff in her throat!

“Oh – where did you go?” Ludo Bagman reached out and raised Harry. “Is it okay?”

“Nothing, I’m fine–” Harry stood firm and then waved again and again. “Is it late?”

“Oh… it was late, but…” Ludo Bagman saw Harry, as if a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and he easily spread the handkerchief. “You see, Mr. Crouch and Mr. McLorne have not arrived yet. The game can only be slightly delayed… you can take a breather.”

Dumbledore smiled at Harry, but Madam Maxime seemed to be very upset to see him… From the expression on her face, it was obvious that he would not show up.

Of course, she actually prefers to see Marx no longer show up. Because in her opinion, even though Harry is still ranked first, the biggest threat to Beauxbatons is Marx McLorne.

As for Professor Orson, I am standing outside the tent and looking away!

Harry bent down and held his knees with his hands, panting in a big mouth. Probably because he ran too fast, his chest and abdomen suddenly suffered from severe pain, just like a blade inserted into his ribs.

“Are you alright?” Hermione came over and looked at Harry with concern. “How come you are now? I didn’t see you with Ron in the morning—”

“I checked the information in the library,” Harry and Hermione walked aside. He whispered, “I am more prepared – you know, I am not as smart as you and Marx -“

Hermione obviously didn’t quite agree with Harry’s behavior. She didn’t take it for granted: “You should have done this earlier, isn’t it? I have urged you many times, but you always feel that time is still a lot…”

“It’s not because of the news that Moody revealed that night…” Harry pushed his black-rimmed glasses and subconsciously lifted his waistband – just a sprint, the belt seemed a bit loose.

“Don’t say it here!” Hermione hurriedly looked at Harry, lest he say anything he shouldn’t have said.

Just then, a voice came in clearly from outside the tent.

“Oh – thank you Merlin! You are finally here -“

“I am late?”

That is the voice of Professor Orson and Marx. Everyone is familiar with both sounds and can tell them when they hear.

Sure enough, Professor Marx and Professor Orson walked in from the tent.

“Look, I am just catching up?” Marx looked around and wondered, “What about Percy?”

“Mr. Crouch has returned today, but he just left, and hasn’t come back yet!” Ludo Bagman shrugged said, “Did you meet him when you came?”

“Sorry, I don’t think I have met Mr. Crouch.” Marx also shrugged and replied calmly.

“Well—” Bagman pondered, and looked back at several headmasters like Dumbledore. “What should I do? Wait a moment to see?”

“I will let the Teachers help me find it later. The game can’t be delayed… Start now!” Dumbledore looked around Orson and Madam Maxime. After he confirmed it, he said decisively.

Bagman immediately nodded, and announced to the four champions: “So, everyone, please choose a doorway on the wall and wait for the order!”

The wall, which had entrances to the entrances and exits on all sides, has now been blocked, and only four small door openings have been opened on one wall.

The four champions negotiated with each other and then walked to each of the selected gates.

“How, Harry?” Bagman took Harry and walked a few more steps away from the others, whispering, “Do you know what you are going to do?”

“Know.” Harry gasped and replied, gently rubbing the ribs – the pain caused by the run just had not completely disappeared. He still has some faint pain under his ribs!

Bagman squeezed Harry’s shoulders hard and walked to the referee table on the wall.

In a short while, he came to his position and pointed to his throat with wand.

“Sonorus!”

So his voice was like thunder, passing by the ears of all the audience.

“I believe that everyone has been waiting for some impatience, but I think everyone’s wait must be worth it!” His voice easily pressed the buzz on the wall, “In fact, I am like everyone else.” I can’t wait! But, I have to tell everyone about the second task of the Triwizard Tournament, isn’t it?”

Bagman paused, and whispered again: “As you can see, this is a huge maze! I think everyone has to understand that the wall of this maze is made up of the thorns of doom! In this maze, the champions first What you have to face is that from time to time, you will touch the thorns that you inadvertently attacked you!”

“Of course, this labyrinth is obviously not that simple! Because it’s all over the maze – it’s right, it’s everywhere. The maze is full of dangers everywhere, creatures, mechanisms, puzzles… believe me Here, the head is absolutely difficult! If you are not careful, you will be spared!”

“And in every champion’s nephew, in addition to the most important clues, there is also an eight-fifth map of this maze! They are naturally different, as to whether it will help hold the champion of it. Winning – who knows?”

“Yes…then, the last one! The task that the champions are about to challenge is-“
