The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 44

After hearing Harry's words, the others also looked up at the birds on the roof.After careful observation, they found that the shiny things flying around were not birds at all, but keys with wings.

Suddenly Harry exclaimed, "There you go! Broomsticks! We must go up and grab the key to that door!"

Looking at the broomsticks that were put aside and the keyhole on the wooden door, they immediately knew what the trick to pass this level was.

Lane had handed a vial of acid secreted by tombstone moss onto the stones next to the door frame while Harry was looking for the broomstick, and the stones remained motionless.

Sure enough, this level is not that simple. To break through the magic on doors and walls requires powerful magic power and rich knowledge.Otherwise, you can only ride a broom to chase those keys.

Presumably Voldemort would not ride a broom according to the idea of ​​the person who arranged this level.Because according to his suspicious psychology, he is absolutely unwilling to follow the method given by the enemy, and he will worry whether this is a trap for the enemy.

According to Voldemort's history, he has the habit of mastering everything by himself, so it should be to use magic to catch the key.It also drained Voldemort's current meager mana.

This is the same as the door of the cave where Voldemort placed his Horcrux, which required bloodletting. They both tried to consume the enemy's strength before they approached the target.It's just that Dumbledore's method is more aboveboard than Voldemort's.

Harry and Ron were already on the broomsticks at this time, but Ryan and Hermione, who were not good at flying, didn't make trouble.They stood back to back in the middle of the hall, observing the needed key among the group of keys in the sky.

"We're aiming for a big antique key - probably silver, shaped like a doorknob," Ron exclaimed before takeoff "should be close to the style and color of the lock."

Ryan saw the two of them rush into the dense array of keys.They scratched and fished desperately, but the enchanted keys dodged so quickly that it was impossible to get hold of.

When everyone was getting more and more anxious, Ryan felt that he had found his target.He called out to Harry, "I've found the key. It's up there in front of you to the right. It's silver, with sky-blue wings, and the feathers are all on the side as if they've been grabbed. "

Ron obviously saw the key before Harry, and he rushed towards it, but the key flew out of a sharp turn and he didn't stop, almost hitting the ceiling directly.

"Let's drive the keys down, Ryan, you are ready." After Harry finished speaking, he and Ron surrounded him to drive the keys down.

The key flew down quickly trying to avoid their pursuit, but did not realize that it was flying too low and broke away from the main force.

Finally the key was forced so close to the ground that Ryan jumped up and grabbed the key. (Ryan: "Thanks to the mechanical and medical knowledge I have learned recently, the stability and accuracy of the hand have been greatly improved. Otherwise, I will definitely lose face today.")
Ryan held the key tightly, as the key struggled like a living thing.After Harry and Ron landed, they came to the door together. Ryan put the key in the lock and turned it, and the door opened with a click, which meant that the key they chose was correct.

After letting go of the key and watching it fly away, Ryan turned the doorknob.Four people filed into the next level.

When I entered the door, the room was pitch black.Lane was also worried about tripping and falling.But the moment everyone stepped into the house, the whole house immediately became brightly lit.The door behind him also locked with a click.

This reminded Ryan of the heroine's birthday in the soap opera but the hero didn't care about it, and the heroine felt a little sad.In the end, after the heroine got home with a tired face after working all day, she just walked into the house and closed the door when the light was turned on.The heroine and her friends prepared a whole birthday party to surprise the heroine.

It's a pity that what greeted Ryan and the others here was not the cake at the surprise party, but Professor McGonagall's giant chessboard.

Ryan felt that if Professor McGonagall was replaced by a Celestial Man, he might conjure up a pair of giant mahjong or something.Seriously, though, he thought the levels were purely a mockery of Voldemort, that he was now at the level of a first-year student.

After all, there are only a few ways of entertainment in the wizarding world. Wizard chess should be the most popular besides Quidditch, and at least half of the people who know it should be.As for Professor McGonagall's style, it is estimated that he was very similar to Hermione when he was young.Then the level of wizard chess is estimated to be average, no matter how powerful the stone chess pieces are, the level of chess players is the biggest flaw in this level.

The chess pieces on the chessboard are about the size of real people, and they are made of black and white stones.You don't need to try it to know that this thing must have a high magic resistance, and it cannot be handled by magic such as the Crushing Curse.

More importantly, there are no facial features on these flags. With the brightly lit chessboard and other parts of the dark room, a strong horror movie feeling is about to come out.

Ryan couldn't help but think of the monsters without mouths and faces in the horror movies of his previous life, and felt a little cold on his body.But when he turned his head, he saw that Harry and the others were shaking, obviously more frightened.

A door on the opposite side of the board shows that the only way to get through is to win the game.To make matters worse, everyone has to play a pawn, and the more people there are, the more disadvantaged they will be.

In the end, Ryan and Ron played the knight, Hermione played the queen, and Harry played the castle.This chess game is played by Ron, who has the highest level of wizard chess.

After the chess game started, Ryan found that although these chess pieces looked fierce when they captured other chess pieces, they were mainly knocked unconscious, and did not use the weapons in their hands for fatal blows.

It seems that Professor McGonagall's level is just to delay time, and at the same time avoid accidentally injuring Harry who came to pass the level.And if Voldemort used magic to forcibly break through the checkpoints, then these chess pieces would not feel as peaceful as they are now. For Voldemort who is now possessed by Quirrell, if he breaks through these checkpoints one by one, there may not be any left on his body. How much magic.

Since his life would not be in danger, Ryan let go of his raised heart, and began to have leisure time to watch Ron's level of chess.

Ron's level seems to be good, but because of the need to take Ryan and the others into consideration, he can't use his hands and feet.Sometimes you have to pay more.

Seeing this, Ryan shouted to Ron: "I learned an armor curse, and it should be fine when it hits me, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Really?" Ron said, and after getting repeated confirmation from Ryan, he said to Ryan: "You go diagonally to the right and eat their most threatening queen. After that, you will be eaten by the opponent's knight. So the following The chess is easy to go,"

It seems that the more people there are, the more restrained Ron will be. Ryan thinks of this and feels that if he can make sacrifices, the situation should be much better.
