While Wizet was filling out the information, the receptionist witch was still promoting their Anonymous Mask, claiming how stable they were and how exquisite their designs were.

Wizet politely declined, and when he finished filling out the information and was considering a pseudonym, he simply wrote down the name "Noth" in the corresponding field.

He took out his mask from his pocket; it was a silver mask he had created based on the "《Elementary Magic Forging》".

The surface is also coated with an indigo blue paint, giving it a cool and composed feel.

He put on the mask, handed the registration form to the reception witch, and said in a low voice, "Madam, I have filled it out."

Upon hearing Wizet's voice, she froze on the spot, blinked for a moment before snapping out of her daze and taking the registration form.

To her, Wizet's voice wasn't just low; it was a completely different voice.

Clearly, the mask Wizet was wearing at this moment was not just a simple work of art, but a genuine magical artifact.

The receptionist glanced at the briefcase instinctively and shrugged.

There was also a Magical Mask in the suitcase that could change one's voice and prevent magical detection, but according to the organizer's pricing, that mask would cost at least fifty Galleon.

As for the specific selling price and commission, that depends on your own abilities.

She could only console herself that at least the first few wizards who came to register today all bought a mask after her enthusiastic sales pitch.

After the reception witch collected the registration form, she also signed her name on it. Only then was the entire Magic Contract effective and could be used to protect the safety of the participants.

She didn't dwell on the commission issue any longer, and instead introduced the assessment task to Wizet —defeat a pack of Evil Hound;

This is a dangerous creature of XXX level known for its speed. It looks similar to a gray wolf, but is a size larger.

Once the Evil Hound locks onto its target, it will charge and bite at an extremely fast speed. Its targets are not limited to animals; it will also attack wizards and Muggle.

The "Black Dog Legend" circulating among England Muggle is largely based on this dangerous creature known as the Evil Hound.

They are usually depicted as huge, black dogs with red eyes, as terrifying as Ghost. According to the "Black Dog Legend," their appearance often foreshadows disaster or death.

The Evil Hound used in the All-England Wizard Duelling Competition are fed with Potions, making them even more aggressive and preventing them from running away injured.

After the receptionist finished her introduction, Wizet asked, "Madam, if I want to increase the difficulty, do I need to fill out any additional information?"

"No need. I can apply for it for you directly," the reception witch said. "I need to explain the situation to you..."

"After the difficulty is increased, you will face more dangerous creatures. If you cannot apply to withdraw in time, we will not be responsible for any casualties."

"Of course!" Wizet. "Thank you for your explanation."

The witch didn't say much, and led Wizet away from the reception room to the Inner Castle Square.

The receptionist witch actually knew something about the name Vizet Lovegood;

As a hostess for the All-England Wizard Duelling Competition, she understood one thing very well: duels between wizards were often different from battles between wizards and dangerous creatures.

She had seen far too many examples like this, especially from students like Wizet, who might be able to handle dangerous creatures with ease.

Many Magical creature may appear dangerous, but their behavior is relatively predictable and can be anticipated and addressed to a certain extent, allowing wizards to formulate defensive or offensive strategies.

Wizards who make it to the later stages of the dueling tournament usually have more comprehensive magic, and their duels involve various spells, making the outcome highly unpredictable.

Wizet received a lot of publicity recently, given that the writer was Rita Skeeter ...

Therefore, the hostess believed that while Wizet might be exceptionally capable, she wouldn't be as formidable as the newspapers claimed.

At least when it comes to dealing with wizards, as a student, it would probably be quite difficult to deal with a wizard who has been working in the magical world for a long time.

When Wizet arrived at the Inner Castle Square and was about to sit down, she sensed something strange.

He immediately stood up and looked into the distance, following his senses.

A person wearing a large wizard's robe walked into a small hut.

Just then, the witch returned, and Wizet quickly asked, "Madam, may I ask... what is that hut for?"

Following Wizet's outstretched finger, the receptionist witch saw the small house in the distance. "That's also a registration area, but it's slightly different..."

"Since you were recommended by Filius Flitwick, there will be a special registration area. It's kind of like... a courtesy given to past Duelling Champion, isn't it?"

"Is that so?" Wizet frowned. He was certain of the feeling he had just experienced—the person in the wide wizard's robe had the Dark Mark!

Since his Curse Order Shell was replenished, thus obtaining a complete Spell Command, he has been able to actively gain the perception of the Dark Mark without being detected by those who possess the Dark Mark.

Since that person possesses the Dark Mark, it's highly likely they're working for Voldemort...

Considering the rewards listed on the poster for the All-England Wizard Duelling Competition...

Perhaps Voldemort's target is that Magical creature egg?

The receptionist's voice rang out, "Mr. Noth, do you have any other questions?"

"No, that's all." Wizet shook her head. "I was just curious about that little cabin. Thanks!"

To avoid alerting the enemy, he planned to tell Dumbledore about it when he got back.

Since that person is here, they have most likely also signed up for the dueling tournament. If we want to get more information, it would be more discreet and safer for Dumbledore to do it.

Even if Dumbledore can't find any clues because of the Magic Contract, as long as that person's goal is the dueling tournament reward, they will meet sooner or later.

Wizet arrived at the center of the square, surrounded by rustling sounds, and malice emanated from the iron railings.

As one of the iron gates opened, several Evil Hound rushed into the square and attacked Wizet without lingering.

As night fell, darkness provided the best cover. The Evil Hound pounced on Wizet without making a sound, like vengeful ghosts ready to devour their prey.

Hearing some noises behind her, the reception witch couldn't resist her curiosity and stopped to look.

When she saw the Evil Hound swarming towards her, and Wizet didn't make a move, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine...
