Chapter 429 Rowena: When Did You Get the Illusion that the Selection Ceremony Was Over?

Maybe I misunderstood Rowena. She may not have any intention against me. Besides, Helga is a loyal person and would not mess with me for no reason. Les analyzed in his mind and walked out of the bathroom.

At the same time, Rowena's mouth in the teacher's seat curved up.

"Why are you so happy?" Helga found that her old friend seemed to be in a very good mood, and her curiosity rose all of a sudden.

"A little snake in the process of shedding its skin has taken the bait." Rowena narrowed her eyes slightly: "The easiest people in the world to deal with are smart people, because they have always been very confident and over-trust themselves."

As she said, she said in a voice that only she could hear: "Salazar, when did you have the illusion that the selection ceremony was over?"

Helga frowned slightly.

Her eyes wandered among the little wizards in the audience and found that Salazar had indeed disappeared. But she was not panicked at all, because according to Rowena, Salazar was already under her control.

She cast a interference spell so that people around could not hear the conversation between her and Rowena.

"Salazar is gone. He probably sensed something was wrong. This guy is always as cunning as a snake."

"It doesn't matter. No matter how cunning a snake is, it can't escape the eyes of a raven flying in the sky."

Rowena told Helga what she had done.

After noticing that Salazar had left early, Rowena began to be on high alert. She believed that with Salazar's character, he would definitely use magic to monitor the situation in the auditorium, and then her chance would come.

Sure enough, she soon caught Salazar's little tricks - he was still the same, and liked to conjure up a "receiver" in an inconspicuous corner of the room to transmit the sound to her ears.

So she slightly interfered with the flow of time on the receiver, so that Salazar actually heard the sound of the future.

This is much more advanced than the operation of forging sound, and it is a trick that only she, Rowena Ravenclaw, can play!

She disdains to use those mediocre tricks, and she plays high-difficulty operations if she wants to play.

Rowena knew that her good friend was good at making puppets. She could make a realistic Salazar puppet in just a few minutes, and then let the puppet participate and pass the selection.

But what's the point of doing this?

If you can't see the surprised expression on Salazar's face, what's the point of all this? It's too unpleasant.

Salazar, you will be very surprised, right? The scene where the situation that you thought was under control was reversed...

"Royena!" Helga's face suddenly sank: "Don't play with time! This is the agreement you made with us back then!"

"Yeah, yeah." Rowena nodded absent-mindedly, indicating that she didn't play with time, it was just a very simple time dislocation magic.

She said it lightly, but in fact it was so difficult that it was unimaginable. Even among the founders, only she had such ability. And this level was her limit, and Rowena couldn't really manipulate time.

Helga frowned. Rowena made a lot of noise, but she always felt that something seemed wrong.

"Royna..." Standing outside the auditorium, Les couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Did she leave her brain in the dungeon, or did she become stupid because of the possession of Aries? She actually came up with such a stupid idea." Les couldn't help but talk to himself.

To be honest, Rowena did trick him in the bathroom. The voice was so realistic, I don't know how Rowena did it-wait, she didn't use time magic, did she?

Les's face twisted: If Rowena had to use time magic for such a small matter, he really had to think about whether to send her back to the dungeon.

She was too uncontrollable! She lacked awe for magic.

As for where Rowena's flaw was, it was actually very simple. As long as Les walked out of the bathroom, he would find out: since Headmaster Dumbledore announced that everyone could go back to the dormitory to sleep, why couldn't he see even a little wizard in the corridor? And he couldn't hear the sound of the little wizards walking heavily on the stairs at all?

You know, the sound made by students walking out of the auditorium in the past could be heard from two floors away!

Rice saw through Rowena's trick instantly.

However, even though he saw through everything, Rice still walked to the door of the auditorium and stepped into the auditorium with his head held high.

"Hey, since you announced the disbandment, did you imitate the scene of students walking out of the auditorium?" Helga quickly found the source of the strange feeling, and then she immediately threw this sharp question to Ravenclaw.

Rowena fell into silence directly.

"You don't think this can fool Salazar?!" Helga said in astonishment.

In her opinion, Rowena's carefully woven lies would be exposed in an instant as long as Salazar arrived outside the auditorium.

Rowena's face began to twitch constantly, and Helga couldn't help but worry.

'I hope Rowena doesn't lose control. ' Helga thought in her heart.

But at this moment, Helga saw Salazar's incarnation Rice walking in from the door of the auditorium.

Helga felt even more astonished.

If she was just astonished because she found her friend fishing with a hook without bait, she was now astonished that this broken hook actually caught a fish!

When Les entered the auditorium, he was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking "Why are there so many people here?"

However, when "Professor White" and "Professor Arius" on the faculty table locked their eyes on him, all the surprise on his face disappeared like hoarfrost under the sun, and was replaced by a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. .

He raised his head, his lips forming a shape.

Helga didn't see it for a moment, but Rowena understood - Salazar meant "be good".

Rowena instantly crushed the golden cup in his hand into a ball of scrap copper.

At this moment she felt that everything she had done was in vain.

Salazar did come back, but his plan was completely seen through. Then he strutted into his own "trap" with the mentality of coaxing a child. This is really...

Les knew that Rowena knew what he was thinking, and Rowena knew that Salazar knew that she knew what he was thinking. The two of them seemed to be communicating with transparent brains. But the more this happened, the more intense the anger in Rowena's heart became, and it even made her eyes black.

Helga had a clear view of the "attack and defense" between the two, and now she only had one thought in her mind: How much money would she have to pay to see such a wonderful performance every day? Is this really something you can see without spending any money?

She silently took out a new gold cup from her arms, filled it with strong liquor, and sent it to Rowena.

Les didn't pay attention to the small theater on the faculty bench. He sat back directly in his seat. The surrounding students didn't notice anything unusual at all, and Daphne thought he really went to the toilet.

Only Astoria frowned, sensing that something was not quite right.

From the few words that Rice said, she could sense that Rice did not want to participate in the Global Young Wizards Competition. When he said he was going to the bathroom, she thought Les would never come back. She even packed food for Les so that he would not miss his favorite dessert. And he actually came back? why is that?

Astoria couldn't figure it out despite racking her brain.

Les was extremely calm. After a series of trials, he finally understood that both Rowena and Helga wanted him to participate in the competition.

As a founder, it is indeed a bit embarrassing to compete with children in person, but he can give face to two old friends, and it is not impossible to go and have a paddle. Anyway, just act as a safety guard for the children.

But Rowena and Helga must pay enough.

Rice's thinking has changed, from not wanting to participate in the competition to participating in the competition, but having to pay an appearance fee.

If Astoria can guess the complicated mental process, it can only mean that she has perfected the ability to read minds.

One after another, students were called to the faculty table to participate in the selection ceremony. The faces of the Slytherin students were not very pretty.

The reason for their bad looks is simple: Slytherin House students generally have low scores, and some people are already secretly wondering whether the Sorting Hat is deliberately suppressing Slytherin House.

If Les could hear their inner murmurs, he would definitely hold the student's hand and say confidant. He had long felt that the Sorting Hat was suppressing the college he founded.

If he were to take over the reins of the college now, he would definitely expel half of the students in the college as soon as he took office and keep the remaining half on probation.

Is Slytherin the trash can at Hogwarts? Why are all the weird things thrown in here? Les wanted to yell at the Sorting Hat.

The decline of the college was reversed until Daphne was called up.

"Ninety-nine points!" The Sorting Hat's voice resounded throughout the auditorium, and thunderous applause erupted from the Slytherin House's table.

Ninety-nine points, becoming one of the thirteen is a sure thing, Slytherin House finally has its own spokesperson.

After Daphne, Astoria also walked up.

Like her sister, the magic crystal ball also bloomed brightly in her hands, as red as blood.

The Sorting Hat whispered in her ear: "Outstanding child, you will represent Hogwarts and fight for the honor that belongs to her for this ancient school. Okay-"

‘Please wait a moment. ’ Astoria thought silently in her heart, interrupting the Sorting Hat’s words.

Sorting Hat:?

‘My score must not be lower than my sister’s. If the number you shout out dares to be lower than ninety-nine, you have to carefully consider the consequences of such behavior. ’

Sorting Hat:? ? ?

"I am Lord Godric Gryffindor—"

‘But it’s a hat after all, right? Split into pieces, raging in flames, shattered into pieces, these spells should be effective for you, right? Of course, I don't mind trying Avada Kedavra...' Astoria said in a serious tone.

She asked herself that she was not inferior to her sister in any way. If the Sorting Hat gave a lower score than her sister, she would not accept it.

Sorting Hat:…

"I'm just an ordinary hat, and I only tell the truth." At this point, the Sorting Hat raised his voice: "Astoria Greengrass, one hundred points!!!"

The whole place was in an uproar.

One hundred percent? ? ? That little girl from Slytherin House got perfect marks?

Everyone was stunned by this number. Until Les Shiran came to the stage, the audience was still discussing Astoria's score fiercely.

Rice walked to the staff table with a half-smile expression on his face.

He couldn't wait to see what his two old friends were capable of.

Although he had already decided to participate, he wouldn't blame him if his two old friends couldn't pass his "test".

With this in mind, Rice put on the Sorting Hat.

"Ah, Master Slytherin, you're here." As soon as he put on the hat, the voice of the Sorting Hat rang in Rice's ears.

Rice said "hmm", but didn't rush to respond to the Sorting Hat. Instead, he held up Helga's crystal ball.

Magic, minimum power input!

According to common sense, with such a weak magic fluctuation, the brightness of the crystal ball might not be as good as a candle. As a result, before Rice could react, the crystal ball emitted a dazzling light.

In his hand, the crystal ball was like an incandescent lamp emitting blue light.

Rice:...

It's okay, I didn't exaggerate myself... It's just an ordinary standard of 99 points, not much different from Cedric and Hermione before.

Rowena on the staff seat glanced at Helga, and the corners of Helga's mouth curled up.

The brightness of the crystal ball can actually be adjusted manually. As soon as Salazar came up, Helga switched the crystal ball to manual mode.

She was also considerate enough to control the brightness for Salazar to avoid causing a commotion among the students.

Of course, Slytherin's "three hits in a row" had already caused a commotion, and the students in the audience were stunned.

'You must have been warned in advance, right? I will definitely get a high score, right?' Les chatted with the Sorting Hat.

The Sorting Hat twisted its body, and the color of its appearance looked deeper, as if it was wet by water.

It stammered in response: "My Lord, I, I can't help it... I'm just an honest hat..."

'But the strength I showed obviously doesn't meet the requirements, right? '

The Sorting Hat stopped talking.

Damn it! It's just a hat!

Finally, it shouted in an emotionless voice: "Les Lint, ninety-five points!"

This was an extremely difficult decision for the Sorting Hat.

Rice took it off his head, put it on the stool, and walked back to his seat very calmly amid applause and cheers.

The selection ceremony soon came to an end, and thirteen contestants representing Hogwarts were selected, and this long opening ceremony finally ended.

When walking out of the auditorium, Rice deliberately fell behind the crowd and finally fell behind completely.

He stood quietly in the empty corridor, waiting for the arrival of two people.
