Chapter 492 Departure to the Fairy Realm
The fire dragon gate was closed, and the audience gathered in New Paris gradually dispersed.
But as they passed through the fireplace, so too did the spectacular performance of the seven school warriors spread.
Among all wizarding civilizations around the world, discussions and evaluations about them are currently the most popular topics of conversation.
The fourth-year student at Hogwarts, the "Flamethrower," the "Son of the Colossus" from a Muggle laboratory, Durmstrang's magnificent "Champion Knight," Beauxbatons' tenacious and beautiful "French Alchemist Rose," Castrobushers's mysterious "Green Mist Poison Girl," and Vagado's ruthless "Voodoo Hermit" —
The only one who didn't even have a decent nickname was Talon from Iphamoni. Although he was quite strong, he was just unlucky and got his kill stolen, resulting in the lowest score.
People tend to use sensory and intuitive things, such as ratings, to alienate others.
Even in a one-on-one fight, Fleur, Yaguri, and Levi might not be a match for Talon, and even Harry and Krum would find him difficult to handle due to his agility and mobility.
But reality is cruel, not only in the audience's evaluations but also in the judges' scores.
Honestly, does Levi's overall magical ability really deserve a score of 93? If it were a 7th-grade final exam, he might end up with a score of 0.
But wizards are more likely to judge others based on first impressions than Muggles. This 10-year-old boy's courage to face the dragon was already admirable to the old folks, not to mention the impact of the giant golem that rose from the ground, which was enough to earn him a lot of good impressions.
Yaguali used her excellent potion-making skills to poison the acid-corroding fangs, which had maximum poison resistance. Only potion masters could understand the value of her skill, but because her performance was so poor, she only received a very average score.
Harry's overall level in all aspects other than combat is not particularly high, but he still got a score that broke the historical record.
The judges' scores were too subjective, but that's the way things are in the wizarding world—the power of idealism, the judgment of idealism.
Furthermore, the presence of Grindelwald and Hermione gives Hogwarts and Durmstrang an inherent advantage, which is unavoidable.
However, no one had much of an opinion about the scores, and the overall evaluation was considered reasonable.
For everyone else, the Goblet of Fire has come to a temporary end. The second stage will be announced at the New Paris Ball at Christmas. In the meantime, warriors can use the month to improve themselves, while other wizards must work hard to save enough coins to buy the next batch of Floo Powder.
Of course, everyone else can sit idle, but Hermione can't.
She and the Dark Lord have been acting as mascots long enough; it's time to get down to business.
While the afterglow of the first trial still lingered in the city, Grindelwald was already planning to take her to the entrance of the Fairy Cave in the Eye of Hell.
The purpose of this infiltration was twofold: first, to confirm the progress and details of the Cup of Fulfillment from the perspective of the Great Wizard; and second, to leave behind the coordinates of the portal key for relocation within the fairy territory of the Extinction Faction.
The sorcerers of the shamanic party had been working hard for months, but they had only deciphered half of the fairy door knocker. They were unable to find the correct coordinates, so they had to rely on human smuggling to make up for their "incompetence".
The entire unsealing department was devastated, feeling frustrated for failing to fulfill the Great Leader's mission.
Grindelwald didn't blame them. Fairy magic is completely different from wizard magic. If it were so easy to deconstruct, it wouldn't have failed to truly merge with the magical world for a thousand years.
Wizards are very efficient, especially two great wizards traveling together.
They made their decision that morning, and after breakfast, they found themselves on the edge of the Eye of Hell.
There's a key left by Little Star here, but Mr. Momonga didn't come along this time. Even he was just a hindrance during the infiltration.
After entering December, this place is like an ice hell, where the howling icy wind can freeze people into ice sculptures.
Even so, in the bottomless mines, Muggle miners still have to work in thin clothes. Those sent here are usually slaves or criminals, or people who sell themselves because they can't survive.
Even in the summer, when survival conditions are best, their maximum survival time is no more than 100 days.
But humans are good consumables; they are reproductively active all year round. As long as you scatter some food, they will multiply out of nowhere like mice.
The Soviet leadership never lacked manpower; in fact, they sometimes even launched wars against the shamans in order to deplete the surplus population.
Hermione looked up at the sky, and the dark green dust cloud seemed to have thinned a bit.
She tugged at Grindelwald's sleeve: "Have you considered breaking the Winter's Curse? Burning it with Fiendfyre?"
Bill and a group of enthusiasts had traveled the world researching the curse, but without success, and they had no idea how Grindelwald viewed this stubborn cloud of dust.
The old man shook his head: "Unless you want the Fiery Blaze to spread across the world through the clouds, don't tell me to burn things indiscriminately."
Hermione remembered that the person next to her was a mental patient, and it was already commendable that he hadn't had an episode during the entire first stage of the Goblet of Fire.
They didn't linger, using their superb invisibility magic to fly downwards.
There are actually quite a few anti-wizard strategies devised by fairies here.
For example, there are anti-theft waterfalls, wizard's peepholes, and magical alarms, but when faced with two great wizards, these magical artifacts are like blind and deaf people, completely useless.
Hidden in the abandoned mine shafts are a large number of artillery pieces, tanks, and war machines. Although they are all out of commission, Hermione noticed that the troops stationed here are quite vigilant and can turn the mine into an impregnable defensive position in a very short time.
This is probably what the fairies and the Soviet Union prepared in preparation for a surprise attack.
Having learned from Little Star's previous experience, the two did not grope around in the darkness at the bottom of the pit for too long.
Grindelwald's Manifestation Charm traced the path Little Star had taken, planning the optimal route.
Although there were no large convoys of cars coming and going today, they still managed to enter the fairy cave hidden deep in the darkness.
The surrounding space began to distort and change. In the great wizard's perception, some physical laws began to fail or change, the sense of distance gradually blurred, and the people around him became sometimes near and sometimes far.
However, none of this alarmed the two. They were shrouded in illusion spells and became invisible, steadily stepping on the ground that felt like soft clouds.
I don't know how long I walked in the darkness, but then a faint and beautiful starlight began to appear ahead.
"arrive!"
Hermione said softly.
This was her second time entering the fairy realm, and compared to her previous experience through the coexistence faction's door knocker, this time the experience was much more detailed.
The vast, independent world of the Extinctionists is even more awe-inspiring.
The seven ancient fairy villages were pieced together; this massive project, which began fifty years ago, is also a manifestation of Lanlock II's ambition.
"It looks even more spectacular than I remember."
The two stood on the hill where the delivery trucks had once stopped, overlooking the entire Fairy Realm. Mysterious light shone down from the sky, and the strange city in the distance, shrouded in an ominous dark red, looked like the capital of a demon king from another world.
