Chapter Seventy-Three: The Wizard's Chess

Ivan suddenly realized, no wonder Voldemort chose to steal the Philosopher's Stone today, as long as he knew some Hogwarts secret passages and sneaked in smoothly, he was simply fearless when Dumbledore couldn't pull away.

Judging from the fact that Voldemort hid his Horcruxes in the Room of Requirement and found the Slytherin Chamber, he should have explored this school very deeply, and it was normal to know some of the secret passages.

"So what do we do now? Just waiting here for Quirrell to steal the Philosopher's Stone? Ron was desperate for a moment because it was a complete dilemma.

"We must not stay here, we will still be with us when Quirrell gets the Philosopher's Stone out, and Lu Wei may wake up at any time!" Hermione tugged at her tan hair in frustration, unable to think of a solution no matter how her clever head turned.

"Then let's just stop Quirrell from getting the Philosopher's Stone, there are four of us here, and he only has one!" Harry plucked up his courage and said.

"Quirrell's strength is not as weak as you think, maybe he and the mysterious man... That is, Voldemort related. Ivan said lightly.

"Voldemort?" Harry was surprised.

Ron and Hermione were even more shocked and speechless, they thought that dealing with a professor would be enough for their heads, but they didn't expect that now the opponent has been upgraded again, and it is still the rumored Dark Lord.

"Then we're going to stop him! Quirrell must have wanted to get the Philosopher's Stone to sacrifice to Voldemort, or resurrect him. Harry was surprised, but quickly reasserted.

In fact, Ivan's mind is also in the midst of the battle between heaven and man,

To go, or not to go?

If he had designed it reasonably enough, he might not have been able to take Quirrell or Voldemort by surprise as he had done in the previous dragon rescue, and use the protective magic in Harry's body to skip the battle phase and kill Quirrell directly.

All he had to do was use the lethal spell to grab someone's head while Quirrell was caught by Harry and couldn't move.

In this way, you will be able to complete that inexplicable promised mission, unlock bloodline magic, and have more self-preservation strength before returning to Tumbledown Alley.

But Ivan is not naïve to think that everything will go as he imagined, and if something happens halfway, he will have to face the final boss in the original book.

Even Voldemort, who was so weak that he only had his soul left, was extremely dangerous!

"If you want to leave, there are a few broomsticks here." Harry pointed to the broom that had been placed by the door, and when he learned that Quirrell had something to do with Voldemort, he decided to stop it.

"Forget it, it's not that we want to let Quirrell go, Quirrell will let us go, I don't want to watch out for an enemy in the shadows all day." Ivan sighed.

Although Ivan knew very well that even without their interference, Voldemort would not be able to get the Philosopher's Stone, but this would not solve the problem, and when Voldemort understood that he had been tricked by Dumbledore, he would definitely be more cautious and angry, and they would be in danger when they left school during the holidays.

Hermione and Ron also didn't plan to leave, for Gryffindor's little lion, danger was acceptable, but it was unacceptable to let friends face danger alone, and besides, they had the impression that Quirrell was not very smart.

They should... Probably.. Maybe... Can you defeat him?

Just as Ivan made his decision, in his mind, the system's prompt sounded.

【New Mission Activation...】

Objective: Loot the Philosopher's Stone!

Reward: Knowledge of alchemy

Mission Description: This is a test carefully prepared by Hogwarts Headmaster Dumbledore, although most of them have been devastated, but it should be noted that the difficulty of the level has not been reduced by this, please be prepared for death when entering. 】

The sudden quest hint made Ivan's heart feel better, which meant that as long as he succeeded in killing Quirrell this time, he would be able to complete two tasks at once.

The rewards are still very generous.

As for the danger, it was something he had known for a long time ...

"Let's go." Ivan collected his emotions and walked forward out of the small room, where they had been spared the broomstick to find the key because the wooden door had been broken.

Moving forward, Ivan thought that it was just a small challenge to play wizard chess, but when he got closer, he found that it was more like a tragic battlefield.

A large number of dismembered chess pieces were scattered on the ground, and under the influence of magic, their bodies were slowly repaired, and the remaining dozen or so intact chess pieces were all looking at them.

These stone chess pieces obviously have no faces, let alone eyes, but Ivan unexpectedly felt that he was being stared at by them, it was obvious that these chess pieces did not rely on their eyes to lock onto their targets, and Ivan quickly decided that the illusion spell would probably lose its effect here...

The moment Ivan stepped in, the stone soldiers drew their swords, the knight with a broken hand got up from the ground, stepped on his horse and clenched his spear, and the king raised his scepter high...

"Is this going to play a live-action version of Wizard Banner Wars?"

Looking at the stone chess pieces in front of him that were two or three meters high, Ron swallowed, although his wizard's is not bad, but the live-action version is still forgotten.

Unfortunately, the assault had already begun when they entered, and the stone soldiers approached with heavy steps, and the only knight rode at them...

"Divided!" Ivan shook his hand with a splitting charm, and the forelimbs of the stone horse that ran halfway exploded, and the knight above fell to the ground like a rolling gourd, and half of his head was shattered.

But the knight got back to his feet, and kept sucking at the scattered stones around him, slowly repairing his wounds.

"They'll fix it automatically, how can this be fought?" Harry was speechless.

"Just attack these stone men on the legs as much as possible, restrict their movements, and then bless the Iron Armor Spell and rush over!" Ivan turned his wand at himself, and an invisible magical barrier enveloped his body, which made him feel somewhat safe.

Although the Iron Armor Charm is a magic used by wizards to defend and reflect the designated spell, this does not mean that the spell does not have physical defense. Its essence is to build a magical barrier around the body, and it also has a certain resistance to physical damage.

"But we don't know the Iron Armor Curse at all!" Ron tried to attack one of the pawn soldiers with the Leg Lock Charm, but it didn't work at all, and he shouted in despair.
