58.Champion’s rewards
"Harry, tell me again about the three-headed dog you met last time." Magos, who was lying on the bed, suddenly said.
"Aren't you not interested?" Ron got excited after hearing this and lay down and looked at him.
"I'm suddenly interested. Tell me quickly."
"As I told you last time, we accidentally entered the forbidden area mentioned by the principal to avoid Filch. We met a big dog. The dog was so big that it filled all the space from the ceiling to the floor. It had three A head, three pairs of vicious eyes, three noses. It was twitching and trembling in our direction, and there were three drooling mouths. The saliva was like sticky ropes, flowing from the yellowed dog teeth. Hang it down. To be honest, if it hadn't been stunned by our sudden intrusion, it would definitely have eaten us." Harry's tone was trembling, and even after so many days, he still felt horrified at the thought of it.
"In addition to the dog, have you found anything else?"
"We were all so scared at the time that we wouldn't pay attention to anything else." A voice came from Ron's bedside.
"But Hermione seemed to say that there seemed to be a door at the foot of the monster. She guessed that the three-headed dog should be the doorkeeper." Harry's words made him sigh. It seems that what is happening now is nothing like the original book. If there is a difference, then it will be easier to handle.
Magos got up early the next morning. He picked up the thorn in the small cage and looked at it.The little thing didn't know whether he hadn't slept all night or was too vigilant, but when he looked at it, it was staring at him.
"Boy, if you dare to be arrogant with me at this time, be careful one day I cook you." Magos' threats were like playing harp to a cow, and the grumpy temper of the guy did not ease in any way.
"You're cruel." He put down the cage angrily.
"Magos, what are you planning to do by bringing him back?" Harry, who was woken up, couldn't understand at all that he had brought him back.
"I just wanted to do an experiment." He looked at Ron, who was still sleeping soundly, with mysterious eyes.
Harry shuddered following his gaze, and the dazed state he had just woken up from suddenly disappeared without a trace. For some reason, he always felt that his gaze was full of malice.
"Ron, why did you wake up when I woke up today?" Magos said to Ron with some disappointment on the way to the restaurant.
Ron looked at him doubtfully, "Isn't this bad? And to be honest, since my face was swollen from sleeping last time, I really get woken up easily in the morning, and I don't know why."
After hearing these words, Harry turned to look at Magos, and the corners of his mouth twitched, wanting to laugh, but holding it back tightly.This feeling was so good, this experience was unprecedentedly comfortable. He felt that he was happier in the past month at school than in the more than ten years he had spent at the Dursleys' house.
"By the way, Magos, are we still gathering tonight?" Ron walked up to him and asked softly.
"Of course, we are almost successful. We will go there whenever we have time during this period."
"Can we hold the first competition at the end of this semester? Many students are gearing up to win No. 1."
"It should be possible, but we can't talk too much. Everyone knows the current progress. Although it seems to be very smooth, there will be big problems once it gets stuck at some point." Harry and Ron understood. 's nodded.
"Secondly, I suddenly remembered that we seemed to have forgotten something very important." Magos smiled bitterly and touched his head.
"what's up?"
"As for the rewards, we have been thinking about making cards and competition rules, but none of us have customized rewards." His words made him stunned. It seemed to be true.
"Well, isn't the competition just an under-school game as you said? There shouldn't be any rewards." Harry said in an uncertain tone.
"That's true, but if we want to pass on this game, rewards are essential. Otherwise, everyone will give up after playing for a few years and find it boring."
"What should we do? We have invested so much." Ron was anxious.
"Let's all get together and discuss it tonight. Anyway, I think Galleons alone won't have any appeal." Magos' words made the two of them lower their heads in distress.
At night, in the secret room.
Since the dragon scales arrived, they have completely determined how to make magic cards after nearly a month of experiments.Now the dividends are clear. Except for McGoss, the first and second graders will make it when they have time.
Some softeners are in high demand and take a long time to make.The reason why they are allowed to do this is because their magic power is not high and they don't know many spells, so they can only do this most basic thing.The two of them would make that thing in the dormitory whenever they had free time during this period. In addition to recording some of the latest ideas for magic cards and things that need to be changed, Magos would also make them with them, and sometimes launch Along with other classmates, Hermione helped them make several bottles at first, but then Harry revealed that they were for playing cards, so she stopped helping them. For this, Harry was annoyed several times. sky.
The third and fourth graders are more embarrassed. Their mastery of magic and spells is neither strong nor weak. If no more senior seniors join, they will be the main force in the production. It is a pity that there are seniors there. , so they became high-level coolies.The work they needed to do was to cut the dragon scales. This sounded simple, but it was much more complicated to do it. In addition to the necessary tools, they also needed some household magic spells to assist them. For this purpose, they also specially learned some Daily magic spells that I had previously dismissed.There are several difficulties in cutting dragon scales. First, each card must be exactly the same size and in the same position. This alone has made them feel bitter. Secondly, the dragon scales themselves are magical, and they need to cut them without destroying them. Decomposing the dragon scales without their own magic power requires very precise magic control, so after they are done, you will find that they are a little swaying when they walk, as if they were blocked by twenty or thirty harems. Something shameful was done in the room.The last point is that the toughness of dragon scales is very good. If they need to be cut without destroying their toughness, they can only use physical strength, so they need a two-pronged approach of magic and physical strength.
The fifth and sixth grade students were responsible for adding magic spells and special magic materials to the cut magic cards. For example, Kang proposed a new suggestion, adding seven Chimera teeth particles in front of each magic card. The holder will light up after winning a round, and only when all seven of them light up will he be eligible to participate in the King of Cards game. The Chimera is a rare giant beast in Greece. It has the head of a lion, the body of a sheep and Fire dragon's tail.This giant beast is evil in nature, bloodthirsty, and extremely dangerous, so its value is very high. Even some tooth particles cost nearly 400 galleons, but its quality cannot be said.The step of adding magic spells seems simple but is actually the most difficult. Sometimes even they will encounter problems, and the seventh-grade seniors will occasionally come forward to help.Even so, they kept running into trouble. Either the magic spell could not be imprinted on the magic card, or there was a conflict between the magic spell and the magic card. The most annoying thing was that there was no response after the magic spell was imprinted.All kinds of problems arise one after another.Finally, you have to deal with Magos's constant suggestions, which often happen to add some kind of magic spell suddenly.Although there were many obstacles, luckily no one gave up.The choice of magic materials is also a big issue. It does not mean that expensive ones are necessarily better. Take the star as an example. They did not plan to use the teeth of the Chimera beast at the beginning, but wanted to use the tips of the feathers of the phoenix. However, the value of the Chimairamon that was reused after the magic repulsed after the experiment seemed to be about the same.
It is worth mentioning that the twins made the reverse scale given by the boss into a card box, but they have not been able to put a magic spell on it yet.This needs to be added after the magic card is completely created.
"Everyone, let's stop first. I have something very important to discuss with you." Magos interrupted everyone who was busy here.
Everyone slowly put down what they were doing and sat together at the table. Magos told them what he had said to Harry Ron in the morning again. Everyone had an annoyed look on their face after hearing it.
"I have an idea, but I can't completely solve the problem."
"Tell me about it," Fred said.
"We can use that card box as a reward for the champion. When someone becomes the champion, he will be able to hold it for one semester. When the next finals starts one week, it will automatically return to Hog regardless of whether the previous champion wants it or not. Watts. But then we have a big problem. We need to make it a powerful magic item, so that it can not only resist magic spells such as flying curses, but also resist more powerful magic items. He can even set it as a door key to transport the owner to a predetermined coordinate when encountering fatal danger." After he finished speaking, the entire secret room was silent.
"Well, Magos, your idea is indeed great, but the feasibility of this is too low. We probably won't be able to achieve the effect you want." Kang looked at him with a wry smile and said.The others nodded in unison.
"What if. I mean what if, what if Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape are willing to help us." All the members of the Chamber of Secrets looked at him dumbfounded.
"This is indeed possible, but do you think the professor will help us do it?" Hal expressed doubts.
"No matter what, we have to give it a try. After all our magic cards are made, I will go to the professor to see if we can succeed." When everyone nodded, he continued: "Then let's pretend that we can succeed now. The reward for the champion has been decided, and there will always be some consolation prize for other terms. If you have any suggestions, I won’t mention gold galleons. If you really don’t have any good ideas, just use money.”
"Aren't you not interested?" Ron got excited after hearing this and lay down and looked at him.
"I'm suddenly interested. Tell me quickly."
"As I told you last time, we accidentally entered the forbidden area mentioned by the principal to avoid Filch. We met a big dog.
