Chapter 348 246 The Evening of the Third Day

Chapter 348 246. The evening of the third day

"How many Snitches did you get?"

While asking this question, Diane held up her bag in front of Jon and showed him the Snitches inside.

"I caught 86 in total in these three days. Actually, I should have caught more, but it was all because of that damn Lestrange. When I was fighting him, the bag fell to the ground and more than a dozen flew away. Otherwise, I should have caught more than 100."

Her harvest was already rich enough, and more than 30 of them were contributed by the Australian egg white eye she met at the beginning. It was indeed Diane's good luck. The dragon was not only gentle in temper, but also surrounded by enough Snitches.

Jon had no intention of hiding anything from her. The two of them belonged to the same camp. In the end, no matter who won the final victory, it was the same.

"193. According to the plan, we should have 200 Snitches now, but the Swedish short-nosed dragon didn't live up to expectations. There were only a dozen Snitches around it, so I have to find the last dragon to make it a whole."

Looking at the full Snitches in Jon's bag, Diane widened her eyes.

She thought Jon would definitely have more than hers, but she didn't expect it to be so much, more than twice as much.

Then she looked at Jon's bag, then her own, and without hesitation handed all the Snitches she had taken to Jon.

"No need to find the last one. 193 plus 86, 279 Snitches are more than half of the total number in the Forbidden Forest. Emile will never surpass you. Then we will go back to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and go out as soon as the time is up. Then the first place in this game will definitely be yours!"

This girl made such a decision without any hesitation, and obviously she didn't mean to be reluctant.

She obviously knew what the overall situation was. Individual achievements were not important at all. Both of them represented the same camp. If it were Emil and Draco, they would definitely hand over all the golden snitches they collected to one person in the end to ensure the absolute advantage in numbers. After all, the rules of this game did not prohibit cooperation.

But Jon looked at her, did not take the bag full of golden snitches, and smiled and shook his head.

"I know that accepting your achievements is the most rational and safe, but no matter what, you still call me professor, right? Although I have not taught you anything, I cannot take away the fruits of my students' labor without paying anything, and don't disbelieve in my ability. I have already determined the target for the last dragon. Now there are still three or four hours before I can choose the end of the game, which is completely enough."

Obviously Jon is a head shorter than Diane, but these words are convincing enough.

Diane finally did not insist. She took back her hand holding the bag and then continued to ask.

"Then professor, do you need me to go with you?"

Jon did not answer her question immediately, but thought for a while.

"I suggest that you go to the entrance of the Forbidden Forest and wait until the time for the first project to end is up, and immediately get the score of being the first to walk out of the Forbidden Forest. Then, even if Lestrange gets more Golden Snitches than you, the first one to walk out of the Forbidden Forest will get 40 points, and Malfoy has been eliminated. Counting the number of Golden Snitches, you can get 30 points at worst, so there will be 70 points in total. In this way, if Lestrange is second in all, 50 points plus 30 points is 80 points, and you are only 10 points lower than him, which is completely acceptable."

The specific rules of the three projects of this Triwizard Tournament are not to rank according to the total score in the end, but to add the scores of the first two projects to determine how much advantage the four warriors can have in the last project.

So it is true that the more points you earn, the better, but it does not mean that those who lag behind have no chance at all.

If the gap is only ten points, it can be easily made up in the second event. Even if it is not made up in the end, it will not be too far behind in the third event.

So giving up on catching the Snitch and getting the first place in the finishing time ranking is the choice that maximizes Daisy's interests.

And Jon does not need to care about the ranking of the finishing time. As long as he can make sure that he can get more than 210 Snitches, he can be sure that he is the first in the number of Snitches. There are only 500 Snitches in the Forbidden Forest. He got 210 Snitches, and Diane had 86. Even if the rest were all found and caught by Emil, it would be impossible to surpass Jon.

So as long as he caught the Snitch around the next dragon, it means that 70 points are guaranteed. If Draco is removed, 20 points in the time ranking are also certain, which adds up to 90 points. Even if Diane made a mistake in the end and failed to get the first place in the finishing time and Emil got the first place, the score of the two would only be 90 points.

So John was not in a hurry to finish the game at the earliest time.

After hearing John's analysis, Daisy did not hesitate much. Even though John and Dumbledore never said it, she still regarded herself as John's supporting role in this Triwizard Tournament.

Perhaps Daisy may have had some pride in the Rosier family before, and might have wanted to prove that the students of Durmstrang were no worse than the other two magic schools in Europe by winning the championship, but after learning about Jon's deeds, she no longer had any intention of showing off.

Even though she was still just a student, she knew very well what this Triwizard Tournament meant to the entire wizarding world, and it was not just a casual game of children.

So, at this time when the sun was about to set, Jon and Daisy separated again.

Daisy would go directly back to the entrance of the Forbidden Forest as he suggested, waiting for time and grabbing the first time to finish the game, while Jon would go to the last planned dragon and catch enough 210 golden snitches to ensure that he would definitely get the first place in the results.

The last dragon was also carefully selected by Jon, and it was also an Australian white eye. This kind of dragon is generally docile and lazy, and there is no human option in the diet. Generally, it either eats sheep or Australian kangaroos.

So if nothing unexpected happens, he can even complete the entire game before eight o'clock.
