The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 182 The Queen's Chess Game
Without continuing to worry about what was waiting for them ahead, the three of Ada continued along the stone corridor, which was the only way to go.The corridor went downhill, and Ada felt that they might be in the underground of Hogwarts by now.

I just don't know if it's deeper here, or the room in the secret passage on the fifth floor is deeper.

At the end of the corridor is a brightly lit room, countless "birds" that are as dazzling as jewels, flapping their wings and flying around in the room.

There is a heavy wooden door on the opposite side of the room, apparently these flying "birds" are the key to pass the level, because they are enchanted keys.

"It was Professor Sprout just now, who is this?" Fred asked, "Could it be Ms. Hooch?"

"I'm more inclined to be Professor Flitwick." Ada reached out and took the broomsticks that George handed her. These broomsticks were clearly placed so that intruders might not see them.

Looking at the keys flying around, Ada's scalp felt a little numb. She first used the slowing spell to slow down the high-speed flying keys, and then tried to freeze them with the freezing spell.

The superposition of the two spells makes the flight of these keys more like floating. Although it does not completely freeze the effect, it is enough.The twins rode on broomsticks and soon found the key to open the door.

After Fred and George got off their broomsticks, they kept their heads down and said nothing, showing no joy of successfully passing the level.

"You also found out?" Ada asked.

"It's so simple that even a first-year student can pass." George said in disbelief. It didn't take them much time to get here. The stone corridor took the longest.

Although they have been teasing Quirrell's useless wood, if Quirrell has no real skills, how dare he use the Sorcerer's Stone?The three passes just now don't seem to be able to prevent him.

The second room was originally pitch black, but when the three of them walked in, the torches in the room suddenly ignited, illuminating the entire room.

This is a huge chessboard, towering chess pieces blocked the way of the three of them, they can only pass here if they win this game of wizard chess.

"Even though it's only been apart for a while, I miss my brother Ron very much." Looking at these chess pieces, Fred said sincerely.

"Ada, it's up to you, don't you always claim to be the queen on the chessboard, show it off!" George said, the two brothers were not very good at wizard chess either.

"Wait here." Ada dropped a sentence, and then walked to the position of the queen, and the queen of the chess piece also quit the chessboard, giving up her position to Ada.

When Ada stood at the position of the black queen, the soldiers in front of the white queen moved forward two squares, and Ada ordered the black soldiers in front of her to also move forward two squares.

In the next step, the soldiers on the flank of the white queen, like its compatriots, also stepped forward two squares, deliberately giving it to Ada to eat.

This is a common opening, called the Queen's Gambit.By abandoning the pawns on the queen's flanks, the position in the middle of the chessboard can be exchanged, and at the same time, the strong pieces on the chessboard can be liberated to gain an advantage in the situation.

When playing wizard chess with Ron, Ada liked to use this kind of opening very much, and was taught by Ron in various ways.

If White chooses a different opening, Ada may not be too sure, but White chooses the Queen's Gambit, so I can only say sorry, Ada has seen this game of wizard chess.

Ada eats the pieces sent to him by the opponent, and accepts the opening of the opponent's queen's gambit.Ada's pawn moved from position d5 to c4 on the chessboard, and the black pawn violently knocked the white pawn to the floor.

When the white queen was rampant on the chessboard, Ada, who was the black queen, only moved one square, from the original d8 position to d7, standing in the middle of a row of black soldiers.

The white queen has eaten the black pawn at b7, and there is only another black pawn between Ada and Ada. Although the white queen has no facial features, the viciousness with which she overturns those pawns is still shocking. Ada can I don't want to be hit by it.

The twins standing behind the black chess also gave Ada a sweat, and George said, "If it doesn't work, let's run, anyway, we are here to play, there is no need to suffer like this."

Ada waved her hands behind her, so that the two brothers don't have to worry about themselves.

The chess game is still going on, and the white pieces kill all sides.After losing 3 soldiers and a bishop in a row, Ada hid her king in the corner of the chessboard through king rook shifting, keeping it under protection from the threat of white pieces.

After losing the black castle (car) that forced the White Queen back, Ada finally got the general's chance.She went from f7 to g6 on the board, on the same line as the white king.

King Bai hid from g1 to f1, which was on the same horizontal line as his castle, blocking Ada's pursuit route.Ada moved obliquely in front of her and stood at h5. There was only a white soldier between her and the white king.

The helpless white chess pieces had no choice but to fight back desperately. First, they used the bishop to eat Ada's soldiers to form a general, and then used another bishop to eat Ada's knights.

But these are all in vain, Ida's king is well protected, these two checkmates failed to checkmate Ida's black.

The black side where Ada is now has three soldiers, a castle and a bishop.As for the white side, except for the queen, two castles and bishops are alive, there is one knight alive, and there is even one more soldier than Ida.

It was Ida's turn to leave again, she knocked down the white soldier who stood in front of her with her magic wand, stood in the position of g2, and the black queen (Ada) who only ate one soldier from the beginning to the end killed the white king .

The white side's pieces are reluctant to put down their arms. This chess game has always been dominated by the white side. Even now, there are still more white pieces on the board.

From the very beginning, the white side chose the queen's gambit to start the game, and the outcome of this game was already doomed.

After a long illness, Ida became a good doctor. Ida lost so many times to Ron with the queen's gambit. She had already learned how to deal with such openings. Winning is certain, and it depends on what method she uses to win.

After winning the chess game, the white pieces naturally got out of the way, and the three of Ada entered the next room.

As soon as I came in, I smelled a mixture of stinky socks and uncleaned toilets, which made Ada want to go back and play another game of wizard chess.

A twelve-foot-tall monster guarded the room, and its dim mind had not yet detected the three uninvited guests.

Fred poked Ida and said, "Do you think this troll is the one that broke in on Halloween?"

On Halloween, Harry and the others just stunned the troll, but didn't kill it, and the students didn't know the whereabouts of the troll afterwards.But this troll is much taller than the Halloween one. Ada and the twins have never seen the Halloween one, so they have such an idea.

Their bulky stature and bad smell do make trolls very menacing, and they are somewhat resistant to magic.Giant monsters with anti-magic properties should be difficult to deal with, but they are really too stupid. Their brains are no bigger than raisins, which seriously affects their combat effectiveness.

When the troll rushed towards the intruder wielding a mallet, the twins just used a swipe tactic, allowing Ada to easily hit it in the back of the head.

Bypassing the smelly monster, Ada and the others went to the next level. This level only had the flames sealing the front and rear doors, and seven bottles of different shapes placed on the table.

Fred and George picked up the parchment next to the bottle, on which was a riddle.From the riddle, it can be known that one of the seven bottles is forward, one is backward, two are nettle wine, and the remaining three are deadly poisons.

Ada also took a look at the parchment. It was written in Snape's handwriting. Ada felt that Snape's level was completely insulting the passers-by. Who could be troubled by such a simple question?
But Ada didn't go to solve the puzzle, she just picked up the bottles one by one, looked at them, and smelled one of the bottles.Then I saw Ada pull out a small flask from her robe, she drank it first, and then passed it to the twins.

"Drink it, you can pass through the black flames in front of you."

The twins took the flasks and each took a sip. George asked, "You didn't make these, did you?"
