Chinese students at Hogwarts

Chapter 422 The Secret of the Golden Egg

Longhu Mountain, Heavenly Master’s Mansion

When the magic projection camera focused its lens on the oak door, the entire hall began to boil.

All the elders who were watching the excitement stopped squatting and gathered around the projection with a whoosh, waiting to see who Zhang Xiao's dance partner was.

Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu were particularly excited. The couple stared at the screen with wide eyes, reluctant to even blink.

Finally, the host's voice sounded in the projection and said in a low voice:

"Let us welcome the warriors from the east, the winner who brought us numerous shocks in the first round, Xiao Zhang!

He and his partner will perform the opening dance of this Christmas ball! "

The oak door slowly opened, and under the light Zhang Xiao was dressed in a long robe, like a person walking out of a scroll, with a fairy spirit, and immediately won the applause of the elders of the master's sect.

"Okay, this is the little Celestial Master of my Taoist sect. The school uniform does not reflect Xiaoxiao's style at all."

"That's right, this robe suits Xiaoxiao."

Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu were laughing so hard that they could hardly close their mouths. They just felt that their children were the best in the world.

Soon their attention turned to the Glove Lady.

"Whose daughter is this?"

"Looking at his appearance, he seems to be a kind-hearted person, but - hiss -"

The second uncle touched his chin and frowned. He seemed to have seen something, but he was not sure. He turned to look at the third junior uncle next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Third junior brother, you are the best at face recognition. Come and take a look. What do I think -"

The third uncle was happily discussing with Zhang Chengdao what kind of robe Zhang Xiao should wear for his future wedding. After hearing the words of the second uncle, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at the projection. At first glance, he didn't find anything, but when he looked carefully, he couldn't help but take a breath:

"That's weird! Looking at his face, he is no longer alive!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions immediately became ugly. What kind of ghost would dare to dance with the Heavenly Master?

But Lao Wu Qinghe, who was the best at making paper figures, said:

"Hey, why do I look so much like a paper figurine?"

After hearing this, everyone thought about it carefully, and it was true, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The nature of this ghost is different from that of the paper figurine. It could be some thousand-year-old female ghost relying on her spiritual power to deceive the future heavenly master. This would be serious.

But if it was a paper figurine, that guy Zhang Xiao knew about it and gave it to him on his own initiative.

The old master twisted up the last multi-flavored bean on the plate and threw it into his mouth. He clapped his hands in a very down-to-earth manner and then said slowly:

"You guys, don't worry so much. Xiaoxiao has his own ideas. There are visions in the west and south. It's enough to let you come back and watch one.

Go now! "

The senior brothers suppressed their smiles, straightened their clothes, saluted respectfully and said:

"Yes! Master."

On the second day of Christmas, everyone got up very late. It was not until almost noon that the little wizard shuffled out of the dormitory, full of sleepiness and yawning.

The fire in the common room is extremely bright, and the orange-red firelight shines on the glass, reflecting the ripples of the lake. Some light-seeking fish are nostalgic around the glass and refuse to leave. It feels like an aquarium. .

Zhang Xiao was sitting in an armchair holding a pet cat brought by some little wizard.

The British shorthair blue cat was chubby and looked silly and cute. It didn't resist in Zhang Xiao's arms. Instead, it purred loudly as he scratched its chin with his fingers.

The main reason is that this cat is just like the stupid cat I once raised. It was always beaten violently by the long-haired orange cat at home, and it failed again and again. It often hid alone and sulked.

The small table next to it was piled with letters from all directions, all sent by enthusiastic viewers.

In their letters, they praised Zhang Xiao's wonderful performance at the ball and asked how to order his eye-catching robe.

Some viewers were so fascinated by the mysterious lady with gloves that they actually wanted her contact information.

This is quite speechless.

Zhang Xiao, who was extremely annoyed, could only ask the elves to intercept these letters and hand them over to the elves who had begun to enter the final butler internship period for review.

After these little elves who learned to spell read through the preliminary reading, they handed it over to themselves if they felt it was necessary.

It can only be said that some things are still deep-rooted. The letters sent by these elves are basically written by those pure-blood families who are relatively famous in the wizarding world.

Compared to this, Zhang Xiao took out the golden egg he got in the first round.

Dumbledore said that the golden egg had been unlocked and contained clues to the next round of competition, but he had tried and could not open it.

He casually placed the golden egg on the table, but he didn't expect that the blue cat in his arms suddenly jumped out and held the egg in his arms.

Um? Does this stupid cat think the egg is its own child?

You are a male cat! And you are viviparous, not oviparous.

Zhang Xiao was dumbfounded and prepared to rescue the golden egg. Then he saw the blue cat's ears appearing like airplane ears, and he kicked the golden egg desperately with his hind legs.

This is a proper attack stance.

He rescued the golden egg from the blue cat's arms in a dumbfounded way.

Compared with the original work, the difficulty now seems to be how to open the golden egg, rather than cracking the mystery of the sound of the golden egg in the original work.

So how do you open the golden egg?

Zhang Xiao threw the heavy golden egg up and down in his hand. Last night, he and Malfoy had tried many methods.

His golden egg is with Hermione, so he can rub Zhang Xiao's golden egg in the dormitory.

As for whether this is fair or not, does it violate the rules of the game or something?

Well, Zhang Xiao didn't think it was noble for him to tell Hogwarts this while the other principals were desperately trying to find out the information and inform him of the warriors.

Instead, he felt it was more like pedantry.

"Morning - morning, Zhang." Malfoy yawned. His hair, which was still smooth last night, was now as messy as a chicken coop.

The dark circles under his eyes were particularly obvious on his pale face. He sat down next to Zhang Xiao and became energized by looking at the golden egg in his hand.

"Find a way?"

"Not at all, this golden egg has no flaws -" Zhang Xiao threw it into the air and quickly pulled out his wand. Like a rapid-fire revolver, the tip of the wand fired curses at the golden egg. .

The golden egg was flying around in the sky, but when it hit it hard, it was still shining with golden light, without even a slight scratch.

"Look, I think it's as solid as a solid body. No matter what spell you use, it can't be affected, not even a transformation spell that ignores the essential properties of the object."

Zhang Xiao took the golden egg over and showed it to Malfoy. The golden egg shone alluringly in the sun, as if it contained endless secrets.

"But there must be a way to open it, right?" Malfoy curiously took the golden egg and held it gently in his arms.

He carefully rubbed the surface of the golden egg, trying to find any possible gaps or mechanisms.

However, it is a pity that the surface of the golden egg is smooth and seamless, as if it is one piece and invulnerable.

They tried various methods, but still found nothing, and finally had no choice but to put away the golden egg temporarily.

There were a lot of empty seats in the restaurant, and people from all the houses were staying in bed. After sitting down for a while, a few Gryffindors sat down listlessly with their dinner plates.

"Morning - yawn" Harry just opened his mouth and couldn't help but yawned, Ron and Hermione were also similar.

Only Neville's spirit was still strong, and Daomen seemed to have a particular advantage in this area. Neville didn't even stop doing the stance that started at around five o'clock every morning.

Almost at the same time, Cedric also sat over and looked at everyone inquiringly.

Since Dumbledore announced the items for the second round yesterday, all the warriors immediately devoted themselves to cracking the golden egg. At this moment, several warriors from other schools also gathered together with solemn expressions, discussing something in low voices.

"How's it going? Is there any progress?" Cedric's face also showed deep fatigue, and he wanted to rest early.

But as the pride of Hufflepuff, the enthusiastic little badgers insisted on setting up a table in the common room to cheer Cedric last night.

So Hufflepuff, whose kitchen was next to the common room, ate until midnight. The dishes were served as hard as a running mat. The elves were so happy that they cooked in different ways.

Finally, Professor Sprout also came. Not only did she not reprimand, but she happily joined in. The meal lasted from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock.

There are currently the fewest little wizards from Hufflepuff in the whole restaurant.

Cedric's perseverance to get up today is amazing.

Several people looked at each other (mainly Malfoy, Zhang Xiao and Hermione), smiled bitterly and shook their heads:

"No, we have tried everything we can think of."

"What? Zhang, don't you have any clues?" Harry and Ron's voices were filled with surprise. They originally thought that Zhang Xiao would be able to unlock the secret of the golden egg, and then they could directly copy the homework.

Unexpectedly, Zhang didn't find any clues. Then the two of them looked at Hermione expectantly. It was Hermione who brought the golden egg back last night.

Hermione made a serious face: "I don't know."

It was over. There was nothing that could be done about the plug-in and the thigh at the same time. This was the first time. Harry and Ron immediately felt a sense of urgency. They lowered their heads and plucked the food on their plates and began to think hard about the method they had not tried last night.

"Do you think there are any clues from Beauxbatons?" Ron's eyebrows jumped up and down, and his eyes kept flying towards Beauxbatons.

"How do I know!" Malfoy said angrily. He had already pushed the dinner plate aside, crossed out the methods he had used in his notebook, and said without raising his head, "Why don't you go and ask? "

"Okay, look at mine!" Ron pushed the plate and touched his neck with lingering fear. There were several eye-catching red marks on it, and then strode towards Beauxbatons without hesitation.

Amidst the girls' coquettish laughter, the French beauty led Ron out of the auditorium with a gentle look on her face.

Several young wizards looked at Ron with admiration. He sacrificed too much for the entire team! ! !

After a while, Ron came back, rubbing his mouth that was almost swollen, and said with a big tongue:

"There are no clues from Beauxbatons either."

No one was surprised. They were just thinking hard about whether there was any other way. Malfoy recorded the new ideas proposed by everyone and replied:

"Breaking it open has no effect. Zhang and I have tried dropping at least two to three tons of iron blocks from high altitude and smashing it, but there is still no deformation."

"There is no drill. This golden egg must have been cast with extremely powerful magic. The only way is to find a real method."

"Finding a goblin? A genius idea, but are you sure that if you find a goblin, the egg will still be ours?"

"The gun is useless. I emptied several magazines."

"Uh, the Sword of Gryffindor? What a great idea. Which one of you is going to steal the sword?"

In fact, the little wizards' troubles did not last long. Hagrid sent an invitation letter, strongly expressing his desire to see them immediately.

Everyone suddenly remembered that last time it was Hagrid who revealed to everyone the secret that the final opponent in the first level was the fire dragon.

Of course, other schools also found ways to obtain this information. It is difficult to say whether this was Dumbledore's intention.

So this time everyone immediately ran towards the clue that Hagrid had another golden egg.

So they immediately packed up their things, and sneaked into Hagrid's cabin as excitedly and nervously as if they were thieves.

Then

"So Zhang, you have to teach me! What should I do next?"

Hagrid looked at him expectantly, just like Uncle Liu Huang looked at his military advisor affectionately back then.

"You mean Madame Maxime is willing to have further contact with you?"

Zhang Xiao pinched the bridge of his nose and asked with a headache. The little wizards next to him were already stunned and couldn't care less about the golden eggs in their hands.

At this moment, all their energy was focused on eating the melon, their eyes were as wide as bells, their little ears stood up, and their faces were full of excitement.

Unfortunately, my strategist was too powerful, causing Hagrid and Madam Maxim to make rapid progress. I originally thought they could at least hold off for a while.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Maxim is not much younger than Hagrid, and she is also in her sixties. How come she has not been looking forward to sweet love for such a long time!

She wanted to find it, but she was taller than Hagrid! Hagrid's height of nearly five meters is already astonishing, and Madame Maxime is over five meters tall!

And as the principal of Beauxbatons, Madame Maxime is very good at judging people.

Hagrid has a kind nature. Although some of his views on the world are different from normal people due to physical reasons, it does not affect him as a good person.

In addition, as Dumbledore's friend and a professor at Hogwarts, his status is definitely enough for him.

That being the case, what's there to hesitate about?

Zhang Xiao guessed that Mrs. Maxim had this idea.

"Actually, there's nothing you need to pay attention to. Just go on as you think. It's just that you need to pay attention to your dressing.

You can ask Draco more about this, or simply hire a butler from the Elf Housekeeping Company to take on this part of the task. "

Zhang Xiao didn't say a word, but Hagrid nodded vigorously.

The little wizards also listened with interest, but they did not notice that the golden egg they placed on the table attracted the attention of a little guy.

Norbert smelled a familiar smell, which was that of his owner. He crawled out of the hut and wanted to say hello to Zhang Xiao, but his attention was attracted by the shiny golden egg on the table.

There was an inexplicable smell on this golden egg. Norbert looked at the golden egg in confusion and flapped his nose twice.

It doesn't understand that the smell comes from the Hungarian Horntail, which the Ridgeback hates.

Norbert thought the smell was disgusting, and driven by instinct, he flapped his wings and flew to the side of the golden egg.

The little wizards who were immersed in Teacher Zhang's emotional class glanced here, but didn't care.

This golden egg is extremely strong and cannot be destroyed at all, even if Norbert uses it as a toy, it doesn't matter.

Norbert tilted his head and looked at the golden egg for a while, then suddenly raised his neck, and the dense scales on his neck lit up. Then, it suddenly spit out blazing dragon flames towards the golden egg.

Hagrid smiled casually. Since raising Norbert, his table has long been replaced by an iron table that is not afraid of fire.

"Well - if you really fall in love, you will be in a different place. But for wizards, distance shouldn't be a problem. If not, just open a direct line from your house to the Floo Internet cafe in Beauxbatons."

Zhang Xiao summed it up very experiencedly:

"What else, oh yes -"

He suddenly stopped talking. Hagrid heard the key part and immediately wanted to continue anxiously, but Zhang Xiao stretched out his hand to stop him.

Zhang Xiao's ears twitched, a little confused.

If I heard it correctly, there seemed to be a sound of something breaking.

He followed the small, almost inaudible sound and looked at the pair of amber pupils that shrank slightly.

I saw that the golden egg slowly developed cracks in Noble's dragon flames.
