Harry Potter – I’m The Legend

The surrounding air solidified in an instant, wrapping him tightly, and then pushing him forward. Time and movement have become extremely slow. He watched in horror as the man hit his chest. Nothing can slow the impact of this impact. He made a zhi zhi sound in his ribs, as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer.

He groaned, but the man who suppressed him could not allow him to dodge halfway, and pushed him forward with all his strength. When he hit the maze tree wall, the branches pierced his skin, his body seemed to be torn all over, and the pain went through his whole body, making him feel like he had hit a meat grinder.

A few seconds later, the two of them walked out of the hedge.

Hoffa touched the wound on his chest with trembling fingers. When he lifted his fingertips and saw the blood dripping from his head, Jin Tong was full of incredible expression.

"Miller...?"

Passing through the dense vines and branches, Hoffa stuck on the wall of the maze, looking at the man weighing on him, screamed .

Although he has the same appearance as Alastor Moody, but the menacing momentum and the skills of flying in the air are definitely not what Alastor Moody can possess. There is no doubt that he is protecting him before. Miller who left by himself.

It's just that at this moment his one eye is almost completely covered by the white of his eyes, his pupils have shrunk into a small spot, and the rims around his eyes are all burnt black, which looks very cruel.

"Miller, what did Grindelwald do to you?"

Seeing him like this, Hoffa was distraught.

The man in front of him did not answer, he could not help but lifted Hoffa up, his arms were surrounded by a ball of flames, the flames burned all over Hoffa's body in the blink of an eye, and the heat swallowed him.

Looking at the look of a former friend who was about to eat people, Hoffa didn't dare to hold it up, and immediately entered the ghost stroll, he disappeared from Miller's hands.

Miller grabbed an empty space, retracted the raging flames, and turned it into a fire bird, flying around his arms continuously. On the other hand, dozens of ice flakes appeared on his other arm, and they kept flying around his arm.

He counted vigilantly and coldly: "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

Ten seconds passed.

Hoffa left the ghost for a stroll, standing in the distance looking at Miller, loudly shouted: "Wake up, it's me, you can see clearly, I am your good friend!"

"You have no good friends." Miller's voice was icy.

Can talk...

Hoffa crossed his arms and his heart sank. Miller was originally part of Grindelwald’s spirit, but had been in Miranda’s unnoticeable influence for so many years. A lot has changed, but no one knows what happened after he met Grindelwald. If he re-blackened and wanted to kill himself, with his current ability, he would definitely not be his opponent.

"You abandoned your former friends with your own hands."

Miller pointed with one hand.

The ice flakes in his hand turned into a huge blizzard in an instant, and the blizzard swept Hoffa, making him almost unsteady on his feet. The ice edge turned into a meat grinder, almost tearing him apart. blood mist dyed the white blizzard red.

Hoffa folded her palms in the snowstorm.

bang!!

The stones on the ground rose high, forming a stone cage after another, which bound Miller in it. Afterwards, Hoffa mastered both fists, the stone turned into steel, and Miller was wrapped in a completely solid steel cube.

However, within two seconds, the steel cube became blazing yellow.

Boom! !

The cube was completely burnt into molten iron. Miller strode out of the molten iron and stretched out another hand. The blizzard turned into an ice crystal giant behind Hoffa and caught him.

"Do you want to trap me in the same way that my sister was restrained, Bach, this kind of old routine, after fifty years, it won't work."

, The ice giant's body actually burned with a blue flame, and the flame burned directly into Hoffa's bone marrow, almost extinguishing his burning god.

"Miranda!?"

Hoffa, who was wrapped in flames, suddenly looked behind Miller with an expression of ecstasy, "Why are you here?"

The fierce Miller face was taken aback for a moment, and he couldn't help but look back.

At the moment of distraction, Hoffa broke the ice giant's fingers with both feet, broke free of its control, and quickly moved away from Miller. Ghost wandered and disappeared into his sight.

Miller, who sensed that he had been deceived, left and turned his head. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The ice giant and fire bird disappeared at the same time, and a thick gray mist spread around him. .

Hoffa ran fast, trying to distance himself from the fog. He did not dare to touch the fog. Years of magic experience told him that it was definitely Miller’s probing magic. As long as he touched the fog, He will definitely be perceived by Miller like a Flying Insect falling into a spider web.

But he was not fast when he was watched by the septic potion, and the road in the maze was very weird. Sometimes he ran forward, but if he turned a few more turns, he ran backward.

While the huge maze confused Miller's direction, it also confused his own direction. After a while, the surging gray fog behind him tracked him.

Ten minutes later, he was getting closer and closer to the mist controlled by Miller.

Seeing that it is about to be touched by it, the situation is getting more and more critical.

Suddenly.

Something suddenly stretched out from the maze hedge and grabbed his arm, making him impossible to move even a little bit. He looked down and saw that what was holding his arm turned out to be a huge lion's claw growing out of the wall of the maze.

What?

I didn't wait for Hoffa to wonder for a second.

Bah!

The sharp claw pulled him, pulling him heavily towards the hedge, and then the plants that formed the maze opened to both sides, and he was dragged into the maze as a whole.

Just as he was dragged into the tree, a thick fog swept over the place where he just stood.

Dense and sharp branches and vines ran across his face, and he had to close his eyes tightly to prevent being blinded by something.

Bah!

The one who went in was as fast as the one who came out, and he passed through the hedges of the maze.

pei pei pei!

Hoffa spit out the leaves and fingers stuck in his mouth, and after confirming that no branches might blind him, he opened his eyes.

He actually appeared in a clearing in the labyrinth. This clearing was circular, different from the labyrinth outside. Moonlight shone from the sky, making this place look quite open.

What's more peculiar is that in the middle of this circular open space sits a strange-looking creature.

Its body is like a scary lion, but it has a woman’s head with a high nose and long almond eyes. From a human aesthetic point of view, she has She is an exotic beauty.

But it is also limited to the upper body.

Its lower body is completely a lion, but the lower body has huge claws. The sharp claws on the claws shine in the moonlight, which is daunting. It has a long yellow tail and a tuft of hair. Keep shaking.

It turned out to be a sphinx.

Hoffa recognized this creature, Harry had also met it in the original work, and was asked a riddle by this guy. But he didn't expect that he would be saved by a sphinx. What does it want to do, do it want to guess the riddle?

"Oh hi, how are you."

Sphynx lay on the ground and asked in a strange and ethereal voice like a resting lioness: "Feeling How?"

"It hurts a bit..."

Hoffa mumbled patted The branch on his arm: "Where is this?"

"Of course it is In the maze." Sphinx replied, and it shrugged: "Knowingly asking."

"Who put you in?"

Hoffa couldn't help but ask it. , The appearance of this creature is really peculiar.

"Who put me in?"

Sphynx asked rhetorically.

"Yes, is it Grindelwald? Or other wizards?"

"Oh~you mean my master?"

Sphynx shook the head: "There are many monsters in the maze, man-made, natural, foreign, and local, but I am not the only one. I am free."

"Aren't you?"

Hoffa looked at the Sphinx. Indeed, his expression was very relaxed and content.

"Of course not. I am a monster in a maze. The relationship between me and the maze is like a pond and a fish. As long as there is a maze, there will be me. It doesn’t matter whether it is a man-made maze or a natural one. The formed maze, I like the maze, it allows me to find the value of existence."

Sphynx said: "But of course, ordinary people have no chance to meet me, they are too stupid. Meeting with them will diminish my wisdom.

But occasionally, one or two smart guys will come in. At that time, I will talk to the person who enters the maze and ask them some questions, if that person answers They can’t satisfy me, I’ll eat them.”

After that, there was another rustling noise on the maze wall of vegetation next to him, and another person came in. He was tall and dressed in hairy clothes. A brown cloak with an aquiline nose, dark eyes, and hands hanging over his knees.

It’s Viktor Krum.

Another participant in the Triwizard Tournament.

"Hey, who are you?"

Vickeldo. Krum stumbled up and shouted at Hoffa in half-baked English, "Is this the monster you raised? "

Sphynx looked at Hoffa, "Do you know him?"

Hoffa slowly nodded.

"But he doesn't seem to know you."

Sphynx said with a smile: "You said he is great intelligence may appear to be stupidity, or limbs Developed and simple-minded?"

Hoffa didn't answer this question. Although he probably knew the answer, Krum over there had already pulled out the wand, and he seemed very wary.

Sphynx turned his head and looked at Victor Krum: "Hey, youngster from the north, tell me—everything is always laughing, something never sleeps, something Wearing borrowed clothes will accompany you for half of your life."

Vickeldo. Krum pointed at Sphinx with wand, loudly said: "You can pass here only if you defeat it. Is it just a trophy? Behind you?"

"Answer my question, youngster."

Sphynx said lazily.

"All shattered!"

Viktor Krum waved the wand, a curse rushed out of his wand, but he encountered Sphynx’s After the body, disappeared without a trace.

Sphynx flicked his finger calmly, and then turned from static, like a lioness preying on a gazelle, and immediately jumped on it. The fast Hoffa didn’t react and waved. wand Wikldo. Krum was lifted upside down in the blink of an eye. His wand was thrown away, and gu lu lu rolled to Hoffa's footsteps.

"The answer is not what you asked."

The Sphinx shook the Legendary Seeker's thigh, facing his face, and said irresistibly.

"Do you know the answer?"

"monster..."

Krum hangs upside down, staring at Sphinx angrily, his eyes seem to be able to Spitfire.

"It seems that I don’t know anymore, and you don’t seem like a person who likes to use your brain."

It sniffed Viktor Krum’s thigh, as if It’s like sniffing the most delicious food: "It’s really strong, you must be delicious..." After all, it opened its mouth, and the delicate lips of a young woman opened wider and wider, revealing it. The unusually sharp teeth at the back, like a real lion, were finally big enough to squeeze the head of Viktor Krum.

At this time, Victor Krum's face turned pale in shock, his teeth trembled slightly, and he did not speak.

"Moon."

A voice came from below, interrupting Sphinx's cannibalism. It was taken aback and lowered its head quite displeased.

Hoffa looked at Viktor Krum worriedly. He stepped forward and said again: "Moon."

"The answer is very accurate, but that's not your question. "

The Sphinx carried the boy and said coldly: "The person who answered the wrong riddle will be eaten by me and disappear into the maze. This is the rule."

"Then you have to pay attention to the one that comes first, and I come first." Hoffa said: "Why don't you respect me? Ask him questions first."

The Sphinx was taken aback and looked at Hoffa's eyes. It became strange. a man and a beast looked at each other for a while, and finally, Sphinx relied on the eyes first, and its mouth returned to its original shape.

"It doesn’t seem to work now...you’re right, now I have more important guests..."

It lifted the huge lion’s claws underneath it and moved Viktor Krum threw it out of the ring maze, just like throwing garbage.

Then, the Sphinx straightened its paws and stood up solemnly, just like its famous sculpture in Egypt, its voice changed from an ethereal female voice to a rumbling roar:

"as time goes by, as a servant,

Starting from first meeting Hera of Mount Ida,

Wandering in the labyrinth of Zagreos.

Endure her dark and vicious curse,

Complete her bloody red feast,

Hold up the sacred flame of wisdom and knowledge,

I am finally free,

Named after the priest Sphinx holding the Codex in my hand,

I can see through the villains and hypocrites at a glance,

The incompetent and the incompetent have nowhere to hide in my eyes.

If someone can solve my puzzle,

then I will give him some small help,

However, only true heroes are qualified to answer my question."

It flicked its sharp lion claws, and gently moved it from Hoffa’s chin with a machete-like claw tip. Draw to his heart position and licked his lips: "Are you?"

"What are you going to ask me?"

Hoffa took a step back and avoided Sifen With his sharp claws, he asked sarcastically, "Four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night?"

"hahahahahahaha~"

Sphinx Laughing happily, the voice is very sweet:

"as everyone knows, I asked Oedipus this question, but that is only one of my ten million questions. In fact, everyone encounters The question will be different. You are not Oedipus, so naturally I will not ask you the same question as him."

"Come on then."

Hoffa is confident Mandu shrugged: "I am Ravenclaw, there is no riddle in the world that can stop me."

"Naturally, I know the rules of your house."

In the eyes of Sphinx Rays of light shining mischievously: "So I don't intend to use a simple riddle to stop you like Oedipus or other people."

"oh?" Hoffa accident Raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you want to ask me?"

Sphynx moved slowly, and it gracefully circled Hoffa, and looked at him up and down:

"I want to ask you, this thing about who can build a maze? Guess it."

"Why build a maze, of course, to trap people in it." Hoffa as it should be by rights said.

"Why trap people in a maze."

Sphynx asked again: "If you want to trap people, why not just make a cage?"

The problem became more difficult, Hoffa frowned, touched the chin in front of the Sphinx hand and turned a few times, pondering for a long time, he stopped and said slowly:

p>

"It's too direct, and...in the cage, people outside can see it. In the maze, people outside can't see it. In other words, it's hard to see."

"So what ."

Sphynx lay on the ground and looked at him with a smile.

"So what is closed in the maze is something that cannot be seen by outsiders, it is something that is invisible. It is not allowed to be seen by outsiders, nor can the contents inside go out."

p>

Hoffa slowly said, and his tone became more solemn.

"Quite an accurate summary."

Sphynx licked his paw, "But, what is the shame? There is nothing new under the sun. In this world, it doesn’t seem strange what happens."

"Criminal Prisons and cages separate them.

But if criminals want to hide their crimes, they will build a maze instead of simply building a cage. Because they don’t want crimes to be seen by others."

"It was very close, and Sphinx asked immediately: "But, what is a crime? "

It smiled and said: "In the era when I was born, my mother was Ecard, and my father was her son, the two-headed dog Othughes. They did this In the eyes of people at the time, it seemed normal.

But today, it is almost crazy. "

paused, Sphinx said again: "Five thousand years ago, A Tooth For A Tooth, an eye for an eye, using violence to control violence was the norm, and murderers would be respected, but Killing is now forbidden.

Five hundred years ago, under the control of the church, drinking on this land was a crime, but nowadays, alcohol can be bought everywhere.

A hundred years ago, it was normal for women in the world to marry at the age of fifteen, but now, if you take a fifteen-year-old, it is a crime.

Then ask this smart Ravenclaw, what is a crime and what is shameful? "

The question is getting more acute, Sphinx is pressing harder, Hoffa's forehead oozes a trace of sweat, he browses tightly frowns for a long time and replied:

" Different eras have different rules. That is the product of the era and the environment. You can't apply the past time to the present. This in itself violates the Time Law and is too one-sided. "

"Aren't the rules a lie?" "

Sphynx said with a smile softly, his expression was teased.

ka-cha!

Hoffa's eyes widened suddenly, he as if Was struck by lightning. Take a step back.

Sphynx’s words opened the fig leaf of his soul, and for a time countless broken images flashed in front of him. It was the moon on the black lake fifty years ago. , It was the madness of the Void Dragon and Grindelwald, it was self-destruction without recklessness.

But in a blink of an eye, he thought of Aglaia and Chloe again, thought of the god of nightmares, thought of it Death Secret Realm, thinking of his promise to others.

He looked at Sphinx’s almond-like eyes, some kind of clear comprehension appeared in his mind, and finally shook the head: "No, the rules are not lies. . "

"Oh? hope to hear the details. "

Sphynx showed a curious look.

Hoffa walked a few steps on the ground, lifts the head: "No matter when and where, the rules will exist, the old When the rules are broken, new rules are bound to be born. Even in the most wild years, there are weak are prey to the strong, even in the most primordial time and space, there are death and new student, and even in the most chaotic universe, there are Beginning and ending, what is driving the planet to run, what is controlling the electric light, what is controlling birth, aging, sickness and death, those are all rules.

Let me say that rules are not lies, rules are rules, and rules are the most powerful force in this world. "

Sphynx lay down, sharp claw propped up his head:

"But wouldn't it be very free without rules? Isn't it pleasant to break the rules?" "

" But the consequences will produce a lot of monsters. "

Hoffa looked at Sphinx, "Just like you." "

The Sphinx snapped his nose: "So will you maintain the rules now?" "

"I have been blinded by nothingness, but yes, I will. "He said decisively.

"I am satisfied, hmph hmph hmph hum~"

In the night, Sphinx said with a very strange voice, it Supporting the body, a huge lion's claw rests on Hoffa.

The huge magic power flow, violent wind erupted, the bushes in the maze are rustling, and the leaves dancing wildly.

>

Small spots of light ooze out of Hoffa's body. Those are tiny water mist, the septic potion injected into his body by Nicholas Flamel.

Under the moonlight, Hoffa The wound on his body healed quickly, and a huge and sharp imposing manner climbed up in the maze. Under the action of that aura, the moonlight was stained with a bright red, becoming not just in name only, but also The blood moon in reality.

After helping Hoffa clear the septic potion from his body, Sphinx made a way for him, bowed his head and said, "You are the real champion, go. Find the hidden secret in the maze. "
