Hogwarts: Harley from the Witch Path

Chapter 330 The third event of the Six Powers Tournament

The success of the production of The Dark Mirror is of extremely great significance to Harley.

Not only because it is the most powerful extraordinary item in Harley's possession, but more importantly, this magic mirror has the Night Watchman's ability to control the spirit body.

This not only means that when using the Dark Mirror, the attack power against souls is stronger, but it also means that Harley can directly control souls that are defenseless.

In addition to those spirit bodies with little consciousness in the spirit world, the range of souls without resistance naturally also includes the spirit bodies made by Harley herself.

The day after making this magic mirror, Harley endured severe pain and broke five snake hairs again.

You know, strictly speaking, the mythical creature form is Harley's true form, and the human appearance can only be regarded as an expression of the mythical creature form.

Therefore, Harley breaking the snake hair in her mythical creature form is equivalent to doing it herself, digging out the flesh and blood from her body and tearing pieces from her soul.

The pain involved and the serious consequences of being injured in the mythical creature form are enough to put Harley at risk of losing control.

However, Harley, who has broken so many snake hairs, can be said to be familiar with it, and will not be shaken by this pain at all, and will not even hum.

As for the purpose of these five snake hairs, they were naturally combined with various materials and spirit powders that Harley had collected from the spirit world in the past to create an artificial spirit that had a certain connection with Harley's mythical creature form.

After these spirits were integrated into Harley's wand clones, clones were born that were full of flesh and blood like real people and had the ability to think independently.

However, these clones are not so safe and secure. After all, although they are controlled by artificial spirits and have some connection with Harley's mythical creature form, these connections are not so close.

As the distance between the avatar and the main body becomes farther and farther, this connection will gradually fade away, and even tend to non-existence indefinitely.

Therefore, if these clones act alone for a long time, they are likely to become "weakened in strength" or "able to think independently."

The former will affect Harley's plan, while the latter is more likely to cause harm to Harley's body.

Therefore, Harley must not allow this situation to exist. The creation of the Night Mirror is very necessary at this time.

With the help of the Dark Night Mirror, Harley placed more restrictions on the arrangement of these spiritual bodies, and gained deeper control over the spiritual bodies, ensuring as much as possible that there would be no such bad situation as "the clone stabbed the main body" Case.

As for the role of these clones, they were naturally sent by Harley to search for auxiliary materials for making the Disaster Witch's potion all over the world.

It is not difficult to find the location of these auxiliary materials. After all, the approximate range of their growth can be inferred based on the nature of the extraordinary characteristics.

As a material for Sequence Two potions, although it is only an auxiliary material, there are definitely some dangers in its place of origin.

However, these are within an acceptable range for clones like Harley who have Sequence [-] strength and can borrow Sequence [-] strength from the main body at any time.

As for the Disaster Witch's promotion ceremony, Harley already has someone ready to sacrifice.

So she was very sure that she would hopefully become an angel on earth by the end of this semester or at the beginning of next semester at the latest.

…………

The Easter holiday passed almost in the blink of an eye, and the third event of the Six-wizard Tournament was about to come.

In the last week of May, five warriors gathered together on the Quidditch pitch of Hogwarts at eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the Quidditch pitch was no longer smooth and flat, but had become unrecognizable.

There seems to be an extra Muggle building here, and the higher the floors, the narrower they are.

Ludo once again readily accepted Crouch's request, took the initiative to come to Hogwarts, and took on the task of introducing the game content to the warriors.

"Hello, warriors, it's been a long time since we last met!"

Ludo still had the same loud voice and waved his hands happily to everyone.

Harry was keenly aware that there was a pure gold ring set with red gemstones on the left hand that Ludo raised.

The craftsmanship of that ring probably came from fairies, and the material was good, so it must be worth a lot of money.

Harley vaguely remembered that the last time she saw Ludo, he was not so wealthy and had to wear an old robe.

As for the last time Ludo was as wealthy as he is now... I guess it was before the Quidditch World Cup in England?
I don’t know what happened during this period.

However, Harley was not interested in Ludo's financial situation and just listened quietly to the referee's introduction to the game.

"...With the full cooperation of the Ministry of Magic and magic schools from various countries, the competition has been going smoothly, and at this time it has officially come to the last event."

After Ludo finished talking about a long scene, he finally got to the point.
"Okay, now let's get down to business."

"The third project of the competition is related to the building in front of you. You might as well guess what its specific content is?"

The scene was quiet, the warriors just watched Ludo's one-man show, no one said anything.

However, Ludo did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he grinned and started asking questions to himself.
"Yes, I think almost everyone should have guessed the correct answer in their hearts. The last event of the Six-wizard Tournament is exactly that - the maze!"

"For this huge maze, our Ministry of Magic used many employees and took a long time to create it."

"There are nine floors in this maze, six on the ground and three underground."

"The entrance is on the first floor. There are six entrances in total."

"On the day of the game, you will choose the entrance based on your score. The warriors with higher scores will have priority."

"The order of time for entering the maze is also the same. The warriors with higher scores will enter the maze first."

"The time difference between two warriors entering the maze one after another will be converted according to the score difference and a certain ratio."

"As for the trophy, the Six-wizard Tournament Championship trophy is located at the top of the maze."

"Only by getting the trophy and bringing it out can you win the final championship of the Six Powers Tournament."

"In that case, why do we need to set up a maze on the third floor underground?" Catherine raised her hand and asked,
"Also, if someone touches the trophy first, can the other warriors just stand by and watch him take the trophy back?"

"Or...are the warriors allowed by the rules to snatch the trophy?"

"Good question!" Ludo applauded, "I've been waiting for one of you to ask this question!"

"Let's talk about the first question first. The Ministry of Magic has prepared many difficulties in the maze, including but not limited to magic traps, more dangerous magical animals and magical plants." "At the same time, the material of the maze is very strong and has been enchanted. After testing by the Ministry of Magic, ordinary Aurors need to use the crushing spell at least 25 times to penetrate the walls of the maze."

"This means that in most cases, you can only get the trophy by finding the right path and overcoming the many difficulties on the way."

"But please note that I am talking about the vast majority of cases."

"There are at least three door keys on each floor of the maze, and these door keys can be activated at any time."

"The directions that the door keys lead to are not consistent. The only thing that is certain is that the door keys will never lead to other locations on the same floor."

"So if you are lucky, the warriors may find the door key to the trophy on the top six floors directly from the underground floor."

Ludo paused deliberately, and then burst into laughter, as if he had told a very funny joke.

But seeing that no one agreed, his laughter gradually stopped and he rubbed his nose.

"Okay, just kidding, I don't know where these door keys are distributed, their specific shapes, and where they lead."

"After all, it was Old Barty who proposed the idea of ​​Portkeys. Only he can come up with this complicated competition method. After all, the International Magic Cooperation Department needs to deal with Portkeys every day..."

Harley raised her eyebrows slightly, and suddenly thought of something in her heart.

"...As for our dear Minister of Magic, Fudge, to save trouble, he has handed over the work of arranging the door keys to the Department of International Magical Cooperation, and Old Barty will lead the team to arrange them."

Ludo waved his hand,

"This is the reason why the lower three levels of the maze exist. The purpose is to give warriors who start later in time more opportunities and at the same time increase the fun of watching the game."

"As for the question of whether the trophy is up for grabs...of course it is up for grabs."

"This kind of behavior is never prohibited in the Six-wizard Tournament. The golden eggs in the first event can be snatched from each other, and the map provided by the mermaid in the first part of the second event can also be snatched."

"The trophy in the third event is naturally up for grabs."

"Okay, do you have any more questions?"

Seeing that the warriors had no more questions, Ludo nodded,
"Then please come on everyone. As for the rules, we will post them in the foyer on the first floor of Hogwarts Castle to prevent any warriors from forgetting them."

"Everyone can go back now."

The warriors quickly dispersed and walked in their own directions.

Harry and Fleur planned to go to the Room of Requirement together to briefly discuss the competition, and then return to their respective dormitories and school quarters.

But Ludo caught up and seemed to want to say something to Harley:
"Harry, please wait a moment... Do you have time? Can we go a little further and talk alone?"

However, Harley rejected him neatly:
"Sorry, I don't think there is anything too private between us. It's even so secretive that I need to avoid my best friend Fleur."

"Oh, okay." Ludo's face was obviously disappointed.

"I just wanted to cheer you up as an elder and a Hogwarts alumnus. You know, Sirius and I have always had a good relationship."

"So what? Are you confident that you will be the first to win the trophy in the last event and win the championship?"

"Of course." Harley raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Fu Rong and I both have such confidence that we can defeat other warriors and win back the glory of the top six championship for the school."

"To be precise, every warrior will not lack the courage and ambition to win the championship. You think so, Fleur."

"Of course." Fleur put her hands behind her back and looked at Lu Duo with slight dissatisfaction.

“If you don’t even have the goal of winning the championship, then why are you competing?”

"I'm not like those soft-footed shrimps on the French national Quidditch team. My goal is to qualify for the qualifiers and reach the group stage."

"Oh, okay, I was presumptuous." Lu Duo apologized sincerely, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes that could not be concealed.

"I'm very sorry, Miss Delacour. Then I wish you both good luck in the competition."

Looking at Lu Duo's quickly retreating figure, the ice-snow and smart Furong frowned:
"Ludo Bagman, what does this mean? As a referee who is involved in the entire project design, he wants to chat with you alone?"

"This is a very sensitive situation no matter what competition it is in...wait a minute, isn't he trying to cheat?"

"Who knows?" Harley turned her gaze back,

"I originally felt that there was something wrong with this Ludo...wait a minute, I seem to have remembered something..."

Harry rubbed his forehead and dug up a small incident from his memory before the British Quidditch World Cup finals, and discovered what he had overlooked before.

She just remembered that Ludo seemed to have invited Sirius to have a little gambling.

"I probably know why he wants to chat with me alone." Harley's face looked a little strange and she explained to Fleur,

"This is a gambling dog who wants to die happily. He probably doesn't have much capital, and he still likes to be the banker."

"I seriously suspect that he has opened a bet on the Six-wizard Tournament, and is preparing to reveal the information to me in order to kill the pig."

Furong was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh:
"You officials from the Ministry of Magic are really interesting. The director of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports actually has this kind of hobby."

"It's not like you don't know how unreliable these people are." Harley spread her hands.
"After all, this is Britain. The Muggle world still retains the queen and nobles, and the wizarding world values ​​bloodline the most."

"Based on this, you can probably guess who the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic are."

The two of them were walking and chatting, and at this time they had arrived near the Room of Requirement.

Ludo's question was thrown away by the two of them. After all, it was just a gambling dog and it was not worth spending time discussing.

In short, Harley can just play the game normally. Even if someone loses a lot of money because of Harley, what does it have to do with Harley herself?

Since ancient times, gambling and drug abuse have led to a good death!
