Chapter 243: This is not the final battle of the HP world 1
【Malfoy Side】
“…… Scared, scared to death. Astoria panted lightly as she patted her chest, which was beginning to take shape.
"Don't panic, Professor Leeds adheres to the principle of 'play safely' and will not set up dangerous traps in the labyrinth." Malfoy amusedly looked at his girlfriend's panicked face.
It was said that he could win the championship by standing still for an hour, but Malfoy still took Astoria to explore the maze, intending to score 100 points and win more glory - although this could lead to a rollover, Malfoy is confident in his current strength, so let's take it for it.
As the sun had set, the magical fog darkened the labyrinth, Astoria cast a fluorescent flickering spell to find the way, Malfoy carried the moonlight sword to escort them, and the two of them advanced along the labyrinth passage, only to trigger the first trap after a few minutes - the magic plants on both sides of the passage slowly compressed into the middle. Mind you, it's a veritable 'slow', and Malfoy doesn't even have to hold Astoria to cast a transfiguration and run in a Muggle fashion before rushing over.
“…… Is that really the case? Malfoy turned back to see that the magical plants that formed the passage had slowly returned to their places.
"Draco?"
Malfoy explained, "I originally thought it was a maze in the wizarding world, but I didn't use the way I learned to run the maze when I was playing RPGs, but I didn't expect that the passage has changed until now......"
"Ahh You taught me the welt principle when I played the game! Astoria clapped her hands.
"Yes, as long as you stick to the side and run around the maze, the distance can be a little far, and you have to run any wrong dead end, but you can definitely reach the end." Malfoy took his girlfriend's little hand, "So~ explore the labyrinth this way, hurry up, Astoria!" ”
"Hmm!"
【Harry's Side】
"Show me the way!" Hermione casts a direction spell, her wand pointing due north.
"This way...... It's always feeling very eerie. Harry plucked up his courage and followed his friend's lead.
Since being deliberately targeted by Malfoy in the fourth trial and swallowing 0 eggs in anger, Harry and Hermione's group is completely out of play, even if they score 100 points now, it will not help, and they can't expect the players in front of them to score all 0 points in this game - however, they don't intend to give up just yet, they would rather lie down and send it out than wear a 'soft egg' hat for the rest of their lives, if they can get some points, it would be the best.
Harry and Hermione were the same one scouting with a fluorescent flickering charm, and the other was guarding the guard, but instead of using Malfoy's maze run, they were sure to go around the north, south, and north...... Well, it's just a blind walk, who said that you can reach the end by choosing the direction where the end is located when choosing the road? Have you ever seen a labyrinth!
Of course, Hermione didn't look like someone who didn't know the law of welting, but unlike the confident Malfoy, she and Harry couldn't have explored the labyrinth in the way that they would have endured all the traps and curses. Hermione can only use her good mind to remember which roads have been taken and which ones have not, and all that remains is to gamble on luck.
“……!” It seemed that luck had finally come to an end, and as soon as the two turned an intersection, they immediately saw Durmstrang's opponent and immediately fled back to hide.
The other party obviously saw them as well, "This height...... Mr. Potter, Miss Granger, is that you? ”
"......" Harry and Hermione exchanged glances with each other, and after agreeing on their opinions, they slowly stepped back, the fourth-year students didn't want to go head-to-head with the seventh-year Gang, even though the difference in actual combat ability between the two sides was actually not that far.
"Mr. Potter, we don't have to fight, you're out. And we are the fifth-ranked competitor in the current standings, as long as we get these 100 points in this game, the worst is also this position," Durmstrang's contestant was approaching the intersection, and judging by the voice, "If the two of you can give up resistance and let us get the prize money smoothly, I swear in the name of Durmstrang that I will give you 100,000 gold Galleons after the race!" ”
This is really not a blank check, people are going to fulfill their promises, even the fifth place can get a lot of gold Galleons, 100,000 gold Galleons let yourself get this prize safely, it is very cost-effective - as for whether this is cheating, is it a violation of morality, you can't ask everyone to be saints, right?
However, when they said this, Harry and Hermione didn't want to run away, and Harry said stiffly, "Don't even think about it! We're going to bring you down and get Fred and George up! ”
"Tsk! Is it really not going to work—" Durmstrang's runner suddenly burst into the passage.
"Except for your weapons!"
"Faint!"
"There are many obstacles!"
"Armor protection!"
The light of magic flashed here.
【Leeds Side】
A portkey, a magical item that can quickly transform a person from one dimension to another by a person with a special spell.
The spell for making a portkey is extremely simple, and basically a qualified adult wizard can make a portkey, in order to prevent the portkey from being abused, reduce the wizard's mobility, and strengthen their own governance, the ministries of magic in various countries have set up "portkey offices" to restrict them very strictly. Wizards must apply to the Ministry of Magic to register before making a portkey, and the consequences of using an unauthorized portkey can be severe, and the cost of life is not over...... Of course, the Death Eaters who are fighting against the Ministry of Magic don't have to think about punishment at all, and they can make it if they want to~~
The "Portkey" is the focus of Voldemort's new resurrection plan, sending Barty Crouch Jr. to pretend to be Moody, that is, to allow Harry Potter to be teleported to him by the Portkey alone without anyone knowing.
Despite Barty Crouch Jr.'s death, Voldemort, who longed for a complete resurrection, still didn't give up, forcing Peter Pettigrew to sneak into Hogwarts, and after obtaining the 'Harry Potter' entry maze information, replace the marker for reaching the finish line with a "portkey...... So far, it looks like it's going well.
merely
"The final round of matches has already started at Hogwarts~" Near the Riddle family cemetery in Little Hangdon, Leeds was already waiting here.
"It's been 15 minutes since the game, master." Along with Liz was the chief maid who always accompanied him, and the sword spirit nightshade had long since returned to the magic sword and was quietly placed in the weapon slot in the system.
"It's still a little early, but I'll go and step on it first...... I'll just do it myself, hide under the invisibility cloak with Sakiya and you, I'll definitely do something to you~ It's too stupid to be discovered by a 'mouse'. Liz pulled out the cloak he had borrowed from Moody from his storage space.
"Happy playing, master." Saki Ye lifted her skirt with regret on her face, she was quite looking forward to this kind of stealing plot.
"Pleasant...... The wizards of this world can't provide me with this thing, kill it quickly, and it's more practical to go to Yanan to find the ancient kings to play~" Put on your cloak.
“…… Sorry, I lost my words. Sakuya bowed her head and apologized, then cast a magic spell and disappeared, spilling only one card.
