Chapter 385 Of Course I Want Them All, the Question Is Who to Save First
"Miss Klein." Principal Maxim looked strange and said in a deep voice, "Is this too heavy for a fifteen-year-old child?"
"He is the heir of the Gaius family, and he will face many more choices in the future than now." Adrian said meaningfully, "As for age...his journey officially began when he was twelve years old, and now he is just taking a break."
Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Dumbledore's eyes.
"Journey? What does this mean?"
"I can't tell you about this, or I don't have the qualifications to know with Principal Dumbledore's current status and strength." Adrian said very directly.
Percy Weasley widened his eyes in astonishment. What did he hear? Even the White Devil is not qualified to know?
This is definitely a big secret in the magic world, but he knows that this secret is not something he can touch.
Dumbledore frowned slightly, and wanted to ask something when he saw a pair of calm eyes. He shut his mouth for some reason and didn't ask more questions.
"Miss Klein." Karkaroff finally realized the ability of this referee, and his voice was a little more flattering. "Then I wonder how we should score in this situation?"
"Just be fair and just.
It is very reasonable for a hostage to account for half of the score, right? If it exceeds the time limit, then deduct an appropriate amount of points.
I just want to see his choice. As for the result of the Triwizard Tournament, I don't care."
"I know, I know."
"I wonder what kind of choice Miss Klein wants to see?" Dumbledore asked, "Will Gaius save one or two?"
"This question is meaningless, Professor Dumbledore.
My brother doesn't want to cause any trouble, but in fact he is more responsible than anyone else. From my understanding of him, he will definitely save two."
"Then you..."
"Who will he save first?" Adrian said meaningfully, "One is an innocent person implicated, and the other is his good friend.
Professor Dumbledore, if it were you, who would you save first?"
Hearing this, Dumbledore couldn't help but take a breath.
Damn! He was narrow-minded. He had lived for more than a century but this was the first time he encountered such a tricky question.
So what if both could be saved? The key point was who to save first. Whether it was the first reaction or the decision made after careful consideration, it could reflect a person's psychological profile.
Adrian waited calmly for Aaron to make a decision, not noticing that the other judges looked at her with a little more solemnity and fear.
This was really something that a sixteen-year-old could think of. Compared with her, they were completely useless at their age.
"Aaron is so lucky to have a sister like you." Dumbledore said far-fetchedly.
"Thank you for the compliment." Adrian accepted it humbly. "It is precisely because of the encouragement of a sister like me that their brothers and sisters can grow up healthily."
Everyone:......
It is really unfair for them to grow up this big.
......
Too cruel, too hurtful, too despicable.
Aaron also received the message from the thought body and knew Adrian's purpose. He couldn't help but curse in his heart.
He looked at the two hostages in front of him, whose faces looked like wilted eggplants. He couldn't cough out or swallow the anger in his chest, and almost got internal injuries.
"She is worthy of being my sister! You actually played this trick on me?" Aaron smiled sadly.
At this time, Harry swam here and pointed at him like a mermaid.
He looked at Aaron, who was wrapped in a spherical barrier, impervious to water and dressed warmly, and then looked at his hands and legs, and suddenly there was a huge gap in his heart.
I thought the gilly grass was the secret weapon for going into the water, but I didn't expect that there would be a mountain higher than the mountain. This magic is too slippery.
But after approaching, he was surprised to find Hermione and Luna in front of Aaron, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
"What's the situation? You want to save two people?"
"It's obvious!" Aaron said unhappily.
"What are you waiting for? Save people!" Harry said anxiously, and was about to pull Hermione's rope.
"You can only save one." A mermaid pointed a spear at Harry and warned.
"One?" Harry suddenly thought of something and looked at Aaron in panic, "That means..."
"Just as you understand." Aaron spread his hands, "But it has nothing to do with you, take Ron away before the effect of the gilly grass disappears."
"But what can you do?"
"Go away!" Aaron said impatiently, and the meaning in his eyes was quite clear: Do you want to stay and hold me back? "
Harry pursed his lips, and he also found that his gills were a little difficult to breathe, and he couldn't breathe underwater, and staying would not help.
He looked at the thick and slippery water plants that tied the hostages, and felt that he needed a knife.
"Do you have a knife? Lend it to me. "
A string of exclamation marks flashed through Aaron's mind, and he shook his head speechlessly, "You are a wizard, a wand is enough, why do you need a knife."
Harry was stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled out his wand.
A red light hit the rope that tied Ron, and the rope automatically fell off, and Ron's body floated up uncontrollably.
Harry hurried over to support his arm, "I'll send Ron to shore first, and then come to help you."
"Don't do that." Aaron stopped Harry in shock, "You shouldn't have a second portion of gillyweed, right!"
"Ah this..."
"Please, don't cause me trouble, okay?"
Harry's mouth twitched slightly, nodded awkwardly, and then swam up with Ron.
Not long after he left, Cedric also swam over.
"Isn't your spell a little too exaggerated?" Cedric said enviously.
The Bubble Head Curse can only create bubbles around his head. Although he can breathe underwater, it is completely incomparable to Aaron's magic.
"Want to learn? But I can't teach you. This is the secret of the Gaius family." Aaron was talking nonsense seriously, explaining to Cedric and the audience watching the game through the screen.
Percy, who was sitting in the referee's seat on behalf of Barty Crouch, looked very ugly when he heard this. He knew without thinking that Aaron couldn't contribute this magic, and his dream of promotion and salary increase was half shattered.
"What's the matter with the two of them?"
"It has nothing to do with you. It's probably because I found two dance partners at the Christmas party." Aaron meant something and then smiled bitterly, "Unless you want to help me, it's better to leave quickly."
Cedric immediately understood that the two hostages were probably arranged by Adrian for Aaron. He didn't understand the love-hate relationship between the two siblings, but he also knew that he couldn't get involved.
He looked at his dance partner Qiu Zhang, and a spell tore the rope on her body, "Take care."
Aaron sighed silently, then looked down at his watch. There was less than a quarter of an hour left, and he had to make a choice in this little time.
Once it exceeds an hour, the spears in the hands of these mermaids might be aimed at him.
Aaron reached into his pocket and took out a gold galleon. While muttering to himself, he also told others, "I don't believe in fate, but I must admit that sometimes I have to let fate make the decision.
Save Luna from the front and Hermione from the back. It's a happy decision."
Ding!
The gold galleon was thrown into the air by him, and when it fell in his hand, it was facing up.
Aaron didn't hesitate at all. He cast a spell to untie Luna's rope and added an armor spell to him.
Then he grabbed Luna's arm and didn't let her go up.
It's not that I can't, but I don't dare.
In addition to Grindylow, there are giant squids and other dangerous creatures in the Black Lake. If Luna is allowed to go back alone, she will regret it if something happens on the way.
Adrian, who was sitting in the referee's seat, looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile, "As expected of my brother, he actually uses such a simple and crude method."
"Although it is suspected of escaping, it is also a strategy." Dumbledore commented, and Karkaroff and Maxim also nodded at each other.
A few minutes later, a shark head rushed and swam to the statue, and the mermaids were scared and fled.
This is Viktor Krum, who turned his upper body into a shark and was able to breathe freely underwater.
He bit the rope that tied his dance partner directly with his teeth, but he hesitated that the shark's teeth were not very convenient, and it took a lot of effort to bite the rope off.
"Wait."
Just as Krum was about to leave with his hostages, Aaron called him.
"Do me a favor and take Luna back as well."
Krum was stunned for a moment, and a look of confusion flashed across the shark's face, not knowing whether to help him or not.
"I may be in a difficult situation in a while, and I can't take two people away." Aaron pointed to Hermione who was still tied to the sculpture, and continued, "Help me take her back, it's just a piece of cake for you.
In return, I will help you once in the third project, if there is a chance."
Krum hesitated for a moment, holding his dance partner with one hand and Luna with the other hand, and swam quickly towards the surface of the water.
"Why don't you leave?" A mermaid asked puzzledly, "Time is almost up, you should know what this means."
Aaron remained silent. He couldn't tell them that he had to complete the competition project at the end for some reason!
Next, he just had to wait for Fleur to come and take her sister Gabrielle away, and he would take Hermione and kill directly. As long as he ran fast enough, the mermaid might not be able to catch up with him.
However, time passed by minute by minute, and there were less than five minutes left before the one-hour deadline.
Aaron's mood gradually became heavy. He turned his head to look at Hermione and Gabrielle, and couldn't help complaining: "What's going on? Don't let them down at this critical moment!"
When there were less than four minutes left, he paced anxiously at the bottom of the lake.
When there were only three minutes left, he had to suspect that Furong was in trouble, even if he didn't want to believe it, otherwise he wouldn't leave his own sister here.
He gritted his teeth and took out Captain Jack's compass, pretending to be heartbroken, "I didn't expect that I would waste my last chance on my competitor."
