The Admiral of Hogwarts

"How many enemies have you actually made?" Venetto asked Harry in a teasing tone as they walked out of the room. "To the point where such a large sum of capital is needed to prepare to kill you."

"I think there should be many," Harry naturally heard from Venetto's tone that she didn't believe he had put his name in, so he said easily. "Most of Slytherin probably wants to get rid of me, so it's too difficult to identify the enemy."

At this time, the corridor seemed empty, and the candle flames had become very small, which made the somewhat eerie smiles on the pumpkin lanterns flicker, looking a bit scary—plus today was Halloween, and this atmosphere was very suitable for this haunted holiday.

But the biggest difference between this Halloween and previous years was that Peeves, the most mischievous one, was watched by the Bloody Baron because there were guests from other schools—so this year's Halloween always felt like something was missing.

Soon, the two arrived at the grand staircase on the second floor. Then Venetto said goodbye to Harry and returned to the Ravenclaw Tower, and then opened the door after passing the knocker's inquiry.

"Welcome our champion back." As soon as the door opened, Hugo and Hermione pulled Venetto up. At the same time, the Ravenclaw students in the common room all cheered.

Don't think that Ravenclaw usually gives people the feeling of being bookworms, and in many places, they don't seem so gregarious. But after confirming that Hogwarts' representative came from Ravenclaw, they were just as excited as the students from other houses.

Everyone wanted to know exactly how Venetto operated at the time, and how she was able to break through the headmaster's defense and throw her name into the Goblet of Fire.

"Actually, I think the headmaster's first defense was very simple. Like I said, that magic was purely based on the existence of the ground. If we break the carrier, the magic will naturally cease to exist—"

Amidst everyone's cheers, Venetto stood on the platform of the stairs, and then explained the principle of her attack that morning to those curious students standing on the stairs below and on the sides.

"—The situation is that simple. As long as the power of your temporary attack exceeds the upper limit that the floor can withstand, the floor and the magic can be destroyed at the same time, and then you can just throw those slips of paper in."

After speaking, Venetto glanced at everyone, and as a result, found that everyone had a look of having learned it. After all, Headmaster Dumbledore was present at the time, and it was definitely impossible to demolish the floor with magic, and no normal person could smash the floor with a punch.

However, the Ravenclaw students also admitted that, at least when facing the headmaster's age line, Venetto's method could indeed break the headmaster's restriction and throw those slips of paper into the Goblet of Fire.

Because of Venetto's selection, everyone celebrated that night until almost 12 o'clock before returning to their rooms to rest. And it was on that night that Hugo gained 7 points of destiny.

But gaining so many destiny points did not make Hugo feel very happy, because now he simply didn't know who threw the slip of paper with Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire.

At least from the information obtained from Enterprise, he can now confirm that no one used an Invisibility Cloak or similar item to hide their figure and secretly throw the slip of paper into the Goblet of Fire that night.

In other words, there is a dangerous element, most likely Barty Crouch Jr., hiding in the school right now, but Hugo doesn't have any information about him.

"Our analysis is that the other party is very likely to have used the Imperius Curse to control a certain unlucky person, and then let the unlucky person help them throw the slip of paper into the Goblet of Fire. But this kind of situation, as long as you don't catch them on the spot, it's basically impossible to screen them out."

Enterprise earnestly reported to Hugo through the Admiral Network, and said a guess that they had made after discussing with other people before.

"It's not your fault," Hugo said to Enterprise, who seemed a little frustrated. "You've already done a great job. At least being able to do this step without being discovered is already very impressive."

"As for the enemy, to be honest, since the other party wants to offer Harry to the Dark Lord, this guy will always jump out. And relative to this guy, our biggest advantage is that relative to them hiding in the dark, there will always be opportunities to catch them."

Early the next morning, Hugo and the others went straight to the library to prepare to read. Because of Venetto becoming a champion, they can now access some restricted area books in the library.

It has to be admitted that Hugo and the others had indeed obtained a lot of family collections from pure-blood families before, but compared to this thousand-year-old prestigious school, it was still a lot different.

Even though today was a holiday, there were still many students reading there in the library, and most of them were from Ravenclaw.

After seeing Venetto come in, these students quickly greeted Venetto friendly, and said that if there was anything they needed help with, they would do their best.

After thanking everyone one by one, Venetto took out the book list summarized after yesterday's discussion and applied to Madam Pince for a batch of restricted area books.

"Offensive and enhancement magic? A very good choice." Madam Pince nodded after looking at Venetto's book list. As the librarian, Madam Pince naturally knew that dragon slaying had basically become the signature event of the Triwizard Tournament.

So after discovering that Venetto was borrowing books of this kind, she not only gave her the books she wanted, but also recommended several books of this kind to her.

"There are many spells here that are tailored for me." After borrowing the books and returning to the desk to browse through them, Venetto quickly discovered some pretty good magic.

For example, in a thick book called "Giant Bodyguard Training Guide", there were many spells recorded that could be used to buff giants in battle.

These spells were marked as not usable on the human body, because these spells might greatly increase the reaction ability of personnel, but the human body often cannot support the physical buffs brought by this kind of magic.

For example, after using magic to strengthen strength, wizards with insufficient physical strength are very likely to experience some muscle strains or sprains in the body during exercise.

But for Venetto, these spells are very meaningful. Because this magic can hide her physical differences from others, allowing her to let go and fight hard on the field.

As for the buff that the magic itself gives her, it can be said to be minimal. This is mainly because the basis of this kind of enhancement magic is mostly aimed at flesh and blood bodies, and it basically has little effect on existences like ship girls.

In addition to spending a lot of time in the library searching for various books she wanted, Venetto also conducted a search in the library of Ravenclaw Academy.

Compared to the school library, although the Ravenclaw library is smaller in scale and the types of books are not very complete, the biggest advantage is that it has a lot of ideas from outstanding Ravenclaw students in the past.

And for Venetto, who relies on the entire ship girl system, many times, as long as there is a special idea, the ship girls may be able to turn these into reality through research.
