Living peacefully at Hogwarts

Chapter 343 Moving the Maze ([-])

The execution of the competition committee is always so amazing.

After several months of preparation, Hogwarts' Quidditch pitch completely changed its appearance.

Except for the stands, high walls were built almost everywhere on the field.

Around those high walls grew eerie, twenty-foot spiked hedges.

There was an opening in one of the walls—this was the entrance to the labyrinth, and at first glance, there was a dark and eerie passage inside.

Quiet, quiet.

However, it is full of danger!

"Audience friends, welcome to the scene of the "Triwizard Tournament"!"

The director of the Department of Magical Sports, Bagmon, who served as the master of ceremonies, was enthusiastic.

Even in the early summer, he was still wearing a well-made suit, and his fat face was flushed.

"Roar!"

The carnival scene where the devil squid was roasted last time seems to be still in sight. The audience who came to the scene were very excited and expressed their inner emotions with actions.

"Thank you, thank you all for the applause you gave me."

Bagmon made a joke, and then spoke.

"The referee this time is still the humble one. After a few months, our warriors ushered in the last test.

Yes, the eight-month "Triwizard Tournament" is coming to an end
But before that, let's take a look at the current points situation. "

After the words fell, words like flames appeared on the magic light curtain.

[No.1, Hogwarts, Klein Grindelwald, fifty points]

[No.2, Beauxbaton, Fleur Delacour. 47 points]

[No.3, Durmstrang, Victor Krum, 24 points]

Compared with the previous two, Krum, who only scored 24 points, was a bit underwhelming.But the audience was still very enthusiastic and gave applause very cooperatively.

"As you can see, our third test will take place in this labyrinth that the Council spent months building.

This labyrinth has been endowed with powerful magic by the three principals and has the ability to change the internal structure.Not only that, there are all kinds of dangerous magical animals and magical plants in the maze.

In the middle of the maze is the trophy for this "Triwizard Tournament". The first one to break through the difficulty will be rewarded with huge points.

By the way, a "no-flying spell" has been set up over the maze. It is not allowed to fly directly above the maze if you want to take a slant. "

Bagman smiled, meaning something.

Backstage, Krum's expression sank while holding a broomstick.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's invite three contestants with applause!"

Different from the original trajectory of fate, the third test seems to have no order of entry.As soon as Bagmon stretched out his hand, he immediately invited all three of Klein out.

"Oh! Klein! Look here!"

"Fleur, the pride of Beauxbatons!"

"Krum, don't lose again, come on!"

The young wizards from the three schools shouted wildly, suppressing the outsiders who came to watch the match for a while.

Klein took the lead, followed by Fleur and Kurum.

When the three of them stood still in front of the entrance of the maze, there was another burst of applause and cheers.

"Heh, Madame Maxime should have taught Miss Delacour a lot of magic recently."

The warriors of the three schools officially appeared, and Karkaroff spoke in a strange way on the highest evaluation platform.

He was pulling his mustache, with a half-smile expression on his face, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"how about you?"

Madam Maxim's imposing manner is not weak at all - her tall figure itself is an invisible deterrent.

She raised an eyebrow.

"Karkaroff, Krum looks like a good boy, don't do anything excessive.

Otherwise, you will be in big trouble. "

"Ha ha."

With one sentence, Karkaroff was completely broken.

The old wizard who felt he was wrong gave a dry laugh, and dared not provoke any more.

Some things can be done in private, but cannot be said on the table.
"Because the danger of this test is very high, the Council has specially prepared special items for all the warriors."

Bagmon raised a crystal ball and signaled to the surrounding audience.

"This crystal ball is a magic item. As long as it is broken, it will automatically be considered as giving up the game."

As he spoke, he looked at Klein and the others, mainly Krum and Fleur.

"If you really encounter troubles that you can't solve by yourself, just throw the crystal ball to the ground. When the time comes, the three principals of the Council will personally rescue you."

A crystal ball is equivalent to an amulet.

After all, the "Triwizard Tournament" is just an event between schools, and it would be bad if people were killed.

"certainly."

Suddenly, Bagmon's tone changed.

"Once the crystal ball is broken, it is equivalent to abstention. Remember my words, no matter what the situation is, even if it is broken by mistake, it is considered abstention."

He obviously meant something, and the "warriors" understood it in seconds.

The crystal ball is not only a talisman, but also a gate of life.

Even Klein, who is so powerful that he is a monstrosity, can use all his abilities as long as he destroys his crystal ball.

Fleur and Krum's eyes flickered involuntarily.

"In addition, this test allows outside potions and alchemy items. After all, the dangerous magical creatures you have to face are really dangerous."

Bagmon laughed dryly, obviously knowing what was going on.

"That's the rule, good luck."

After introducing all the rules in detail, Bagmon gave the stage to the three warriors.

Ignoring Fleur and Krum, Klein walked into the maze without hesitation, leaving behind a handsome figure.

"Hey, Delacour, let's discuss something."

It wasn't until Klein's figure completely disappeared that Krum, who stayed where he was, felt relieved and smiled friendlyly at Fleur.

"You mean, let's join forces?"

Fleur wasn't stupid either, she guessed Krum's thoughts from his expression.

"That's it."

Krum shook his fist.

"You also know how powerful Grindelwald is. Neither you nor I have the slightest chance of winning against him. Only the two of us work together to have such a small chance."

"But."

Fleur is smiling but not smiling.

"I don't think we will have what you call "a little chance" if we join forces. As long as I complete this test safely, No.2 will definitely be mine. Why should I take the risk of joining forces with you?"

"you!"

Krum did not expect that Fleur was so "Buddhist".

This is an opportunity to kill that "Klein Grindelwald". Isn't she not tempted at all?
"Sorry, let's go our separate ways."

Fleur shrugged, tossed her hair and walked into the maze, Krum, who stayed where she was, couldn't help but look livid.

But after a while, his expression returned to normal.

Looking at the deep maze, Krum muttered to himself.

"Since you don't join forces with me, then I can only let you withdraw from this test."
