Magic Journey from Hogwarts
Page 327
At this moment, Bagman blew his whistle, "Victor Krum can enter."
Krum glanced at the projection screen, and then strode towards the entrance. When passing by Moody, the two exchanged glances indiscriminately.
The maze has completed the second move, and the map in Aaron's hand has completely lost its effect. The only function may be to estimate how far away he is from the trophy.
Aaron made a simple calculation using the Quidditch pitch as a reference, and he was almost 400 meters away from the trophy.
But in the maze, he didn't dare to move rashly, he could only approach the center carefully.
After passing through several forks in the road, the sound of sparks exploding came from not far away, and it was getting closer and closer.
"This is... a snail?" Aaron looked strange, and he was very sure that the source of the sound was the snail, after all Hagrid had kept them for a long time.
Snapped!
Aaron snapped his fingers and used illusion to hide himself.
Then he created another phantom, quickly ran to another fork in the road, and led it in the completely opposite direction after the snail appeared.
The third whistle sounded and Cedric entered the field.
He found a silver treasure chest just after two forks in the road, and opened it with the Unlocking Charm from a distance.
However, there were no strange creatures in the box, only a piece of parchment.
Cedric raised his eyebrows, and when he opened the parchment, it turned out to be a map of the maze: The maze will move again in 1 minute, please hurry up.
In addition to the map of the maze, the parchment also recorded the specific locations of Aaron, Harry, and Krum.
"It seems that I'm lucky." Cedric smiled, and then accelerated his pace according to the guidance of the map.
Seeing this scene, Fu Rong outside the field also understood that not every box is dangerous.
But not long after she breathed a sigh of relief, she saw Harry driving a Boggart, and Krum driving a two-meter-tall acromantula, and she couldn't help feeling a toothache.
The number of dangerous animals was successfully increased by two, but she was still waiting at the entrance, and she was inevitably a little anxious.
Finally, when the final whistle sounded, she immediately felt like hearing the sounds of nature, and rushed into the maze eagerly without waiting for Bagman's explanation.
The sky was getting dark, and the hedge walls of the maze were at least six or seven meters high. Coupled with the thin white mist, the warriors had to use the fluorescent spell to see the road clearly.
As Aaron walked, he drew a precise route map in his mind, trying to get as close to the end as possible before the maze changed again.
After turning a few corners, a silver treasure chest appeared in front of his eyes.
"Araho Cave is open!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Aaron opened the box directly.
The pungent smell immediately spread in all directions, followed by the sound of bubble bursting.
A giant monster about four meters slowly stood up, holding a long wooden stick in its hand.
"I'm obedient."
Aaron held his forehead and shook his head. He didn't expect such a creature to exist in the competition maze.
The troll walked towards Aaron quickly with a stick in his hand, a ferocious sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Snapped!
Aaron snapped his fingers and didn't take out his wand, but turned around and sped away.
The giant monster immediately launched a chase, and the dull sound of running almost spread throughout the maze.
After the troll ran away, Aaron's figure came out from the shadows.
Giant monsters are relatively aggressive and destructive, but their IQs are low, and they can be easily passed by with illusions, but they are the least threatening to him.
He took out a Marauder's Map of the same model as Cedric's from the silver box, looked at the silver box meaningfully, and said with a smile: "It seems that the treasure boxes are divided into three, six, and nine grades!"
The wooden treasure chest is an ordinary map, with 30 seconds to filter the route, and the silver treasure chest is a Marauder's map including the position of the warrior, and the maze movement time is also doubled accordingly.
There should be a treasure chest, and the movement of the maze is also divided into overall movement and partial movement. Otherwise, if the time for the warriors to get the map is not much different, the frequency of the maze movement will be too high.
Aaron thought to himself, and then followed the Marauder's Map to find the correct route.
......
After more than ten minutes, the map of the maze was covered by several warriors, and everyone approached the center in an orderly manner.
Aaron is the closest, according to his guess, the distance from the trophy is less than 100 meters. Harry and Cedric are tied for second, about 150 meters away from the center, and Krum and Fleur are also less than 200 meters away.
But now they are not as relaxed as they were at the beginning. In addition to the maze moving from time to time, the fried-tailed snails and giant scorpions hidden in it also showed up one after another.
These behemoths are like scavengers, with great lethality and certain magic resistance. They can only walk around when they see them.
Coupled with the fact that they each opened about three treasure chests, releasing a dozen dangerous magical animals made the maze even more dangerous.
Aaron opened a silver treasure chest in a dead end.
No strange creatures were released, only a mirror inside - the Mirror of Erised. (reflection of the deepest desire in the heart)
"Good guy, this old antique can be taken out."
Aaron approached the magic mirror, which reflected his own appearance.
After a while, Aaron in the mirror pointed to his feet, and Aaron bent down to pick up a Marauder's Map instantly.
The map showed he was three corners away from the finish and had a minute to go.
Aaron felt relieved, the distance was less than 50 meters, and 1 minute was enough to walk.
But just in case, he quickened his pace.
However, an accident happened. He passed through several corners, but stopped at the final exit.
He could clearly see a circular open space 20 meters away. The trophy of the Triwizard Tournament was there. Three golden dragons surrounded the trophy, and the crystal blue light was constantly flashing.
But a Sphinx (Sphinx) made of yellow sand blocked the exit. He was huge, his limbs were like stone pillars, and he was as high as the hedges on both sides just lying on the ground.
"Answer my question. If you guess correctly, you can pass. If you guess wrong, you will be eaten by me. If you don't guess, you will have to change your path." Sphinx spoke out, his voice extremely hoarse.
"My time is limited, you'd better hurry up." Aaron said impatiently.
"I didn't exist in the past, but I will always exist, no one has seen my face, and I am the living pursuit of all life, what am I?"
"An abstract answer!
Fortunately, I know a friend who likes riddles very much, and the answer is tomorrow. "
"correct answer."
The Sphinx turned into yellow sand and dissipated, giving way to the last path.
Aaron shrugged and walked to the finish line. The trophy of the Triwizard Tournament was placed on a pedestal, shining seductively.
All the audience outside watched this scene excitedly. Professor Flitwick even raised his baton, ready to play music at any time.
"It seems that the champion of the Triwizard Tournament has been decided." Bagman said excitedly, "After more than a century, we are about to witness history..."
In the middle of speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.
Because Aaron didn't go to get the trophy, but sighed, sat silently beside the base, and waited quietly for the arrival of others.
"Miss Klein, did you arrange this?" Dumbledore smiled meaningfully.
"I just let him touch the trophy last, but there is only one way to win the championship under this premise."
Dumbledore froze for a moment, and said in surprise: "All the warriors touched the trophy together, but this..."
"He has to convince other people." Adrian said as it should, "or convince other people."
"Miss Klein is really... eclectic!" Fudge laughed, "Using a wizard duel as the final ending, most people really can't think of such a good idea, I believe the audience present will feast their eyes today. "
"Maybe!" Adrian said disapprovingly, "I also arranged something else to make this final project more interesting, but I don't know if it will be useful."
Chapter 399 The civet in the golden treasure chest, a group of scorpion-tailed beasts
In the center of the maze, Aaron yawned a little bored.
He sat next to the pedestal, did not look at the trophy, but looked at a golden treasure box placed in the corner, a contemptuous smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
He didn't know what magical animals were in the golden treasure chest, but he was sure that there would be a more detailed Marauder's map.
But he has already reached the finish line, so he can sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit, show emotion and reason, and persuade others to cooperate with him. It is beneficial for everyone to tie for the championship of the Triwizard Tournament together.
As for the treasure chest full of uncertainties, only a fool will open it no matter how far and how far it rolls.
Just when Aaron was thinking this way, a scream pierced the silence around him, and it was obvious that he was running for his life in embarrassment.
"Great gift crab! This bitch did it on purpose!"
Aaron stood up abruptly, and directly used the unlocking spell on the golden treasure chest.
At the same time, he made up his mind that he would never set up a flag casually in the future. Now he was the fool who knew how to open a gold treasure box.
But there is no way, he thought of everything, but ignored the warrior's ability.
Not having any major accidents is also one of Adrian's conditions. If he really wants to die, then after the holiday, he has to honestly go home and go on a blind date.
When the treasure chest was opened, there was no huge monster inside, but a black cat the size of a lion, with sharp beak and fangs, and a strange blue light in its pupils popped out.
"Civet cat, this is borrowed from the Ministry of Magic!" Aaron was very speechless, this is definitely Adrian's handwriting.
It wasn't that he looked down on Fudge, but that the Minister of Magic never made any serious decisions.
The civet looked at Aaron in front of him, opened his mouth full of fangs, and rushed over with a run-up.
"Passed out."
The blue light hit the civet, but it split into three the moment it hit the ground.
The three civet cats stared at Aaron aggressively, and slowly approached him from three directions.
"If it's normal, I really want to play with you, but I'm sorry now, I'm in a hurry."
As Aaron spoke, he waved his wand, and three earthen cages rose from the ground, locking the civet inside.
Then he quickly ran to the treasure chest and took out a Marauder's Map from it.
Unsurprisingly, this map records extremely detailed records. In addition to the various routes of the maze and the specific locations of the warriors, there are also locations of various dangerous magical creatures. The most important thing is that this map has no so-called time limit. Valid until the end of the game.
"As expected of a treasure chest, the props that are opened are reliable, but...
Hiss... are these people so curly? "
Aaron glanced at the map briefly, and couldn't help but gasped.
He saw more than 20 dementors, two snails, seven boggarts, six acromantulas, three giant crabs and five giant monsters on the map.
This maze is rebuilt according to the Quidditch pitch. It's not too big, and it's not too small, but it's still a little bit reluctant to accommodate so many magical animals.
The warriors will almost encounter a magical animal after turning a few corners. If it is a dementor or a boggart, you can use special spells to deal with it. The creature has to run away immediately.
After all, their magic power is not unlimited, and it takes too much effort to subdue a huge monster. If the magic power is insufficient when encountering other dangers, they can only wait to die.
But if you want to find the correct line, you have to keep opening the box, and the number of dangerous creatures will increase accordingly. The longer it takes, the greater the danger.
Aaron found the location of Fleur on the map. She was running fast in the maze, and the place where she accidentally hit was the closest to the center.
The name of the magical animal marked on her back is Manticore, which is a cross between a crab, a lobster and a scorpion in appearance.
"It's not too far." Aaron silently calculated the distance, and followed the screams and the map to find it.
But before leaving the center of the maze, he untied the three cages that held the civets, and threw out several spells to hit them, increasing the number of civets several times.
After all, he had to defend his position as the champion, so it was definitely too late to set up the barrier.
Besides Fleur, the other three were not too far from the finish line, and Harry and Cedric seemed to be walking side by side.
If someone else picked the peaches when he was saving someone, there would be no place to cry if he wanted to.
Turn left, turn right, turn left again, then go straight...
Fu Rong's screams became more and more clear, and besides that was the sound of dense footsteps, which made people get goosebumps.
The fluorescent spell illuminated the road ahead, and Fu Rong, who was wearing a blue sportswear, hurried over. Her face was covered with sweat, and besides embarrassment, there was obvious panic.
"Run, run." Fu Rong shouted hoarsely, "Behind..."
"Manticore, I know."
"No, it's not... Anyway, run."
"It's just a manticore, even if it's bigger and how big it can be, I can still..."
