Remember [New] in a second! Cedric's approach alarmed the merfolk in the settlement. They swam out of their stone dwellings and looked at Cedric, the uninvited guest, with malicious intent.

Looking at the spears in the hands of the mermaids, their thick and powerful arms, and fish tails, Cedric slammed his mouth. He is now a little glad that these mermaids are not hostile forces.

Although they only have spears, if Cedric is not enough for them to stick their teeth in a fight.

Cedric carefully observed the world of mermaids, and found that they were fundamentally different from the magical animals he had seen before. Other magical animals, even if they are as powerful as dragons and as sacred as unicorns, do not have such a detailed social division of labor.

In Cedric's eyes, the mermaids already have the appearance of primitive tribes, they have their own style of architecture, and they raise other magical animals as their hunting assistants—some dwellings have a Grindylo tied to their door, and there are obvious status and wealth.

Some dwellings are just a simple stone shell. Others have Grindylow in front of the door, surrounded by gardens full of aquatic plants. In general, the closer to the inside, the more "luxurious" the mermaid's house, and the stronger the mermaid inside.

Cedric faintly heard the singing, and he knew that the mermaid was singing to let him pass, so he swam towards the singing, that is, the center of the mermaid village.

Along the way, more and more mermaids appeared, looking at this strange guest curiously. For mermaids, a wizard is also a rare creature in a hundred years.

There were so many merfolk that Cedric couldn't even count them. Just looking at this number, and considering their social structure ahead of their kind, Cedric confirmed a fact: the mermaids are well-deserved underwater overlords.

The sky and land of the wizarding world belong to wizards, while the waters belong to mermaids.

He also noticed that all the mermaids that appeared here were male.

Maybe female mermaids are prettier! The idea popped into his mind suddenly.

There is a small square in the center of the mermaid village, where Cedric saw a huge mermaid stone with three people tied to its tail: Tom, Cho Zhang and Luna.

Around the statue a large group of mermaids were singing in unison.

The three hostages were sleeping, and a string of thin blisters kept coming out of their mouths.

The potion that Professor McGonagall poured into them allowed them to breathe freely underwater, just like returning to their mother's stomach.

Cedric spit out a string of bubbles, took out a small knife from his pocket, and cut the ropes of aquatic plants tied to Qiu Zhang.

After saving Qiu Zhang, Cedric suddenly had an idea: If he took away the most important "treasure" of the other warriors, wouldn't they be unable to complete the mission?

"No, you can only take your own hostage." A seven-foot-tall mermaid stopped him, using a spear in his hand to persuade Cedric to give up his bold idea.

"Okay." Cedric wasn't an iron-headed boy either, and when he realized that there was no loophole to take advantage of, he immediately took Qiu Zhang up.

Next, he has to return to the water surface as soon as possible to retain more remaining time and achieve higher scores.

About ten minutes after Cedric left, Krum came to the mermaid village with a shark head on his head.

His speed is amazing.

In fact, in the wooden building, Krum lost far less time than Cedric. After recklessly passing through Madame Maxim's test, he charged into the third floor with a murderous aura. He was lucky, and soon discovered the strangeness on the sundial, and then he adopted exactly the same idea, blew up the tree roots, and passed Dumbledore's test.

Dumbledore had nothing to say about this group of young wizards who didn't follow the routine.

After arriving at the mermaid village, Krum took a little effort to bring Luna back, only seven minutes behind Cedric.

In the end, Cedric finished the race in one hour and fifty-three minutes, while Krum took two hours.

When the two of them were wiping themselves on the shore, they saw Fleur running out of the wooden building in a hurry. She broke through the triple checkpoint abruptly, so that Cedric and Krum were done. Just solved the challenge in the wooden building.

But to Dumbledore's relief, Fleur understood his intentions perfectly, found the various mechanisms he left behind, and completed the challenge with the correct thinking.

Seeing the two people rubbing their bodies on the bank, Fu Rong's heart was half cold. But she didn't have time to waste, Furong bit the bullet and ate the gill grass, and a Mengzi plunged into the lake.

With the help of the Gill Grass, Fu Rong's speed was much faster than the other two warriors. But when she saw Tom Yodel sleeping at the bottom of the lake, Fleur still broke her defense.

She confirmed to the mermaid leader over and over again that this was her mission goal. It wasn't until she annoyed the mermaid that she finally confirmed a fact: the organizer of the competition really thought her baby was Tom.

At least she didn't have to let her sister soak in the bottom of the lake, Furong comforted herself and brought Tom back to the shore.

The final score was not unexpected, and Cedric, who took the shortest time, got the highest score. But the point difference between him and Krum did not widen - Krum's crisp performance behind was too brilliant, which allowed him to score a high score of 60 points, only 7 points behind Cedric

Coupled with the remaining points of the two before, Cedric is still the first with 75 points and Krum with 70 points, ranking second with a 5-point disadvantage.

Furong is even worse. Even though Dumbledore gave her a perfect score, she only scored 45 points in the second item, which made her total score only 47 points...

It can be seen that the champion of the Triwizard Tournament seems to have nothing to do with her.

The second item narrowed the gap between Cedric and Krum, and also created a little suspense about the outcome between the two.

After reading the scores of the three Warriors, the second project is about to end.

"The last event will be held on the evening of June 24th. This time, the warriors will be informed of the specific content of the project in advance. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com thanks everyone for your support and love for the warriors. See you in June! "In Bagman's high voice, the second event of the Triwizard Tournament came to an end.

"Some hot drink?" Hermione walked up to the shivering Tom, and stuffed a small kettle into his hand.

"Thank you." Although he was wiped dry as soon as he came up, Tom, who had been soaked in ice water for three hours, still felt uncomfortable. He couldn't wait to turn on the hot kettle and found that it was full of cinnamon wine.

This is a very distinctive drink. It is heated with cinnamon powder and red wine. It has the effect of dispelling cold and is very suitable for people with colds. Although the taste is a bit weird, it is just right for Tom now.
