A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 397 The moving maze that blocks shortcuts, the map in the treasure box

June 24th, 5pm.

Teachers and students of Hogwarts, representatives of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, family members of warriors, and referees were all sitting in the auditorium of the renovated Quidditch pitch.

Professor Flitwick used his wand to direct the band to play passionate music, and the Beauxbatons girls also sang cheerful songs, making the entire venue extremely lively.

Amos Diggory jumped into the sports field like a child, excitedly opening his right arm to welcome his son, which made Cedric feel a little embarrassed.

Karkaroff and Maxim each brought Krum and Fleur into the stadium. Genes walked respectfully behind Aaron. Harry was the last one. Next to him were Dumbledore and Lupin. .

A twenty-foot hedge surrounded the site, and several identical entrances were displayed in front of everyone. The dark passages were mixed with traces of mist, and the neighing and roaring of wild beasts could still be vaguely heard.

"Quiet." Dumbledore stood on the podium and said with the amplification spell, "Professor Moody hid the trophy of the Triwizard Tournament in the maze this morning. Whoever finds the trophy first will be the champion of the Triwizard Tournament.

The order of entering the maze is determined by the sum of the scores of the first two items, followed by Aaron Gaius, Harry Potter, Viktor Krum, Cedric Diggory, Fleur De Rakul.

We have arranged for people to patrol the surrounding area. If a player wants to withdraw from the game, he only needs to use his wand to fire red sparks. "

"I'm just afraid that I won't even have a chance to fire off sparks." Aaron said abruptly.

"They may not be able to do it, but the young master can definitely do it." Old God Genes said thoughtfully.

He was full of confidence in Aaron. Countless extreme escapes in the family secret room almost made Aaron train an instinct. No matter how dangerous the maze was, it would not even be able to send out a distress signal.

"Yes or no, I don't want to quit the game."

"Players, come here now, please hurry up."

The five warriors immediately approached Dumbledore. He lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "There will be no dragons or deep-water monsters in the maze, but you will face greater challenges when the time comes. Certain things will happen when people enter the maze. The change..."

"Wait a minute." Aaron interrupted him and said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Professor, you said the change is...can this maze still move?"

Dumbledore nodded, "This is Miss Klein's suggestion. She said that her brother has a photographic memory and can know the most correct and easiest way just by walking through it once.

For the sake of fairness, she specially applied magic to the maze. Except for the place in the middle where the trophies are stored, other locations will change from time to time. "

Aaron was dumbfounded, and the other four warriors also looked at each other. In addition to surprise, there was also a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

They didn't expect Aaron to have such a memory, nor did they expect that Adrian could play so smoothly and block his brother's shortcut.

“Try your best to find the trophy, but be careful, you may lose yourself along the way.

Aaron was the first to go in after the cannon fired, and the others used whistles to notify them. "Dumbledore said, then turned and walked towards the referee's box.

"Aaron, your sister is really..." Cedric thought for a while but couldn't think of any adjectives, so he just gave a blank thumbs up.

"Haha!" There was bitterness at the corner of Aaron's mouth, and the brilliance in his eyes was half lost.

To be honest, he had been mentally prepared. Adrian would definitely set up obstacles for him in the maze, but it didn't matter. He had memorized the route in advance. No matter how many obstacles there were, he could just get over them.

As long as he is the first to find the trophy, he has won more than half of the victory, but he never expected that the first step would be so difficult.

If the maze could move, the combined advantage of the first two projects would only allow him to take a few fewer detours than others.

"How about we cooperate?" Fleur showed a charming smile, "Anyway, you also want to be the last to touch the trophy, how about helping me win the championship?

When the time comes, you will be given half of the bonus, which gives you a sense of participation. "

The other three people's pupils shrank, and they cried out in their hearts.

If not for girls’ delicate minds, why didn’t they think of this idea?

There are moving mazes and various dangerous animals. The difficulty of the third event is self-evident. In this case, it is self-evident what it means to have a god teammate.

"Gaius." Cedric coughed a little embarrassedly, "I think it is necessary to remind you that you are a warrior of Hogwarts.

The relationship between Hufflepuff and Slytherin isn't very good, but it's not bad either, right? "

Just as Harry was about to say something, he met Aaron's sharp gaze and couldn't help but swallow.

"Don't get me wrong, the championship is not important, but in terms of safety, I think we should cooperate."

Although Moody, Lupin, and Dumbledore were guarding the maze, he was still a little unsure about the third event. Who knew what means the secret Death Eaters would use to deal with him.

If Aaron is willing to help him, then security will be foolproof.

If he's lucky, he might be able to compete for the championship. The youngest champion of the Triwizard Tournament is exciting to think about.

"That... I don't want any of the bonus." Krum said with some restraint, "I still..."

"Brother, please don't talk too much! We don't know each other very well."

"I also saved Luna Lovegood in the second event," Krum emphasized.

Aaron pursed his lips, took a deep breath and said, "I understand, I will repay the favor, but just help you win the championship."

"No?" Krum frowned slightly.

"I figured out a way. The last one to touch the trophy is also the winner.

It’s just that the process is a lot more exciting, and it may be so exciting that it makes me question my life. "

boom!

Cannon fire rang out.

Adrian put his wand against his neck, "Now invite our first warrior to enter.

By the way, a friendly reminder, in order to make the game more interesting, I placed many different types of treasure chests in the maze.

The treasure chest will help the warriors reach the center of the maze, but getting the clues depends on the warriors' luck and ability.

Without further ado, I wish you all good luck. "

Aaron was stunned for a moment, and walked into the entrance of the maze amidst the applause and cheers of the audience.

Adrian smiled slightly, pointed his wand high into the sky, and five projections appeared outside the maze, making it easier for all audiences to appreciate the performance of the warriors.

But now the game has just started. Among the five projections, only the one belonging to Aaron is lit, and the rest are pitch black.

The moment Aaron stepped into the maze, all outside sounds were cut off, and he could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat.

Following the correct route in his mind, he took a deep breath and started running fast.

But within half a minute, the hedges on both sides began to squeeze into the middle, forcing him to change his route and turn into an unknown fork in the road.

Here he saw a wooden treasure chest and paths leading to the left and right.

"Open it, or not open it."

Aaron was confused for a moment, and other warriors outside the field also watched this scene curiously.

Adrian said that the treasure box would help, but there was no free lunch in the world, and the things in this treasure box were of great reference value to them.

Just then the whistle suddenly sounded.

"Harry Potter enters," Ludo Bagman shouted.

"ah?"

Harry was stunned for a moment and looked at Aaron's projection screen with a complicated expression, "Can I go in later?"

"This..." Bagman hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the other referees, as if asking for their opinions.

"Yes, but not beyond the final whistle." Adrian said nonchalantly.

"Thanks."

"I suddenly feel that there is nothing wrong with ranking low." Fleur smiled.

"I think so."

Cedric nodded and said that through these projection screens, those who enter the maze later will know more clues and will not be in a hurry when encountering danger.

Aaron heard the whistle and finally made up his mind.

He couldn't wait any longer. Head start was his only advantage, and he couldn't let a box hold him back.

"Open the Alaho hole!"

Aaron stood ten meters away and hit the wooden treasure chest with an unlocking spell, which opened.

A weird scream came from the box, and then a wet claw stretched out, and the disgusting black-robed monster flew in the air.

"Gift crab!"

Aaron yelled and cursed, and the large number of spectators outside the stadium couldn't help but be on tenterhooks.

This was a dementor, a real dementor. The moment it appeared, the hedge was covered with a layer of white frost.

Harry was stunned, but soon felt relieved.

He knew the Patronus Charm and could handle it with just one dementor. It would be easier for him if every treasure chest contained a dementor.

"Ahem!" Fudge stood up and explained with a sound amplification spell: "Don't worry, everyone, the dementors will not leave the maze. They will return to Azkaban after the Triwizard Tournament."

"I hope there won't be any accidents." Lu Ping said worriedly.

"No." Moody said easily. The few spells Harry had learned so far were enough for him to use, and Gaius was also among them.

Lupine nodded. He had also taught Harry the Patronus Charm, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Calling for guardianship!" Aaron recited the patronus spell, and the silvery white light pushed the dementors back to another aisle.

He walked to the treasure chest. Inside was a map of the maze, marking the location of him and the Triwizard Tournament trophy. He had only walked less than one-tenth of the way.

In addition, there is a line of text below the map: The maze will move again within thirty seconds, please hurry up.

Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight...

The change in numbers made Aaron's pupils tremble. He spent fifteen seconds analyzing the correct route close to the center, and ran fast in the remaining fifteen seconds.
