In chess, intelligence is the key.

Who can beat him in terms of intelligence?

He turned to his three companions, his eyes gleaming with confidence:”So, do you want something more exciting or more safe?”

“What is the difference between the two? Susan asked curiously

“If you want to experience the feeling of accelerated heartbeat, I can let you be the chess piece in the front line battle.”Ye Ting explained,”If you like to play it safe, then I will arrange a relatively safe position for you.”

Ye Ting was full of confidence. With his ability, even if the girls were free to choose chess pieces, he was confident enough to lead the team to victory without hurting them in the slightest.

“Then…give me something exciting!” Zhang Qiu was shining with excitement.

It was hard to believe that she was a quiet and classical beauty on weekdays.

“How about you replace that knight?”

Following Ye Ting’s instructions, a black knight respectfully climbed down from his horse and made way for Zhang Qiu.

Ye Ting also used Transfiguration to conjure up a red tasseled spear and stuffed it into Zhang Qiu’s hand. He then waved his magic wand and changed her robe into a bright armor.

“Great!” Zhang Qiu excitedly rode on the stone horse and fiddled with the spear in his hand with great interest,”Now, I am Mulan!”

“”Hermione, what about you?” Ye Ting asked the next

“As long as I can help, any position is fine.”Hermione forced herself to act indifferent.

But Ye Ting could see that she was still a little scared.

“Then you stand in the bishop’s position.”Ye Ting made arrangements quickly.

Hermione followed the”827” pattern and stood on the ground to the original position of a black bishop. The bishop silently left the chessboard and made room for her.

Ye Ting cast magic again and conjured a solemn bishop’s robe and a scepter for her.

“What about you?” Hermione suddenly asked curiously

“Of course I am the king who is in charge of the overall situation.”Ye Ting smiled confidently and replied,”As long as you follow my instructions, everything will go well, I promise.”

Susan heard this and walked silently to the queen’s seat.

“Wait,” Ye Ting reminded softly,”You’d better replace the position of the soldier in row C. This way you can reduce the number of moves and it will be safer.”

Although he is only friends with the three girls now, he still has a firm grasp of this matter.

There are too many boats under his feet, and if he is not careful, it is easy to capsize.

“Black pawn, E4.

Then, Ye Ting began to give orders at an alarming frequency.

He spoke almost without thinking, as fast as lightning, and before a piece returned to its position, he had already issued an order to the next piece.

Under Ye Ting’s attack, the white pieces could only move cautiously and respond cautiously.

Hermione stood aside, staring at the chessboard anxiously, trying to find a clue in this complicated situation. Unfortunately, she could not keep up with Ye Ting’s thinking at all. Moreover

, she and Susan seemed to be forgotten in the corner by Ye Ting, and only moved a little at the beginning of the game to make room for other pieces. space.

However, the knight represented by Zhang Qiu advanced all the way and quickly captured a white soldier.

She wielded her spear and stabbed the soldier’s forehead with an unstoppable momentum.

Although her attack did no real damage to the stone chess piece, the white soldier still fell down as if he was really defeated.

The rules of chess are interpreted vividly here: once a chess piece is”eaten” by another chess piece, it means that it has completely lost the ability to resist. Even a solid castle cannot withstand the attack of a soldier.

“”Great!” Zhang Qiu cheered, the thrill of killing the enemy made her blood boil.

Hermione and Susan couldn’t help cheering for her. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten the tension and fear before.

However, the victory or defeat on the battlefield is always changing rapidly.

When a black chess piece was knocked to the ground fiercely by the white queen, Hermione felt the fear again. The white queen fiercely knocked another black knight to the floor and dragged it out of the range of the chessboard.

The black knight lay on the floor in pieces, face down, motionless, like a real corpse.

Every time the black chess piece was eliminated, the white chess piece looked cold and ruthless.

Soon, a pile of lifeless black chess pieces were piled up messily by the wall, like a morgue.

However, under Ye Ting’s operation, more white chess pieces were also defeated in an orderly manner.

The black knight represented by Zhang Qiu rushed left and right on the battlefield, bravely Invincible, about half of the chess pieces were killed by her.

But she herself was unscathed.

This was thanks to Ye Ting’s precise control.

Under Ye Ting’s layout, Zhang Qiu’s every move was carefully calculated, either with other chess pieces to protect him, or Ye Ting would leave more valuable bait for the white side.

In addition, Ye Ting also protected Hermione and Susan with ease, moving them out of danger before they were attacked.

Even Susan, who knew nothing about chess, noticed that her side was gradually expanding its advantage.

Victory seemed to be waving to them!

However, when they were full of expectations, a white knight suddenly jumped between Hermione and Susan along the L-shaped route.

The white knight rode on a white warhorse, holding a long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed at Hermione and Susan on the left and right sides respectively.

Hermione suddenly realized the coming of danger.

She took a deep breath and exclaimed:”This is a kill!”

Susan had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation,”What’s wrong? What is a kill?”

Hermione explained nervously,”Look at the square where the White Knight is standing, he can attack any of us at will. No matter who of us moves away in the next round, he will attack the other person mercilessly!”

At this moment, Hermione’s heart was full of uneasiness.

She couldn’t help but imagine, if it was the real herself standing on the chessboard at this moment, not the chess piece, what consequences would the White Knight’s sword bring.

If she was hit by the sharp blade but luckily survived, would the knight swing his sword again and again to finish her off until she died?

Or would she be abandoned on the chessboard and left to bleed to death?

Fear, like the tentacles of darkness, tightly wrapped around Hermione’s heart. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

She wanted to escape from this terrifying chessboard, but found herself as if bound by invisible shackles.

Without the king’s order, she couldn’t even step out of this square.

Hermione looked back at Ye Ting in panic, eager to see something on his face.

But the boy was so calm that Hermione couldn’t see any expression

“……You…you should save Hermione first, she is more valuable than me.” A trembling voice broke the heavy silence.[]

Hermione turned to look at Susan. She was shaking violently. Although her thin legs were slightly bent, she still supported her body tenaciously.

“Hermione is the bishop, and I am just an insignificant pawn.” Susan continued,”She can play a greater role in the next chess game. What’s more, she knows more knowledge than me, which will definitely be more helpful to your adventure.”

“Don’t be like this.” Hermione retorted hastily, her concern for her companions overwhelmed her fear,”We already have the advantage now, even if we lose a bishop, Ye Ting will surely lead us to victory.”

However, Susan couldn’t help but shed tears. She choked and said,”But I didn’t do anything along the way, I was just afraid all the time.”

Ye Ting looked at the two little witches performing a life and death drama there, and he couldn’t help but feel funny in his heart

“Hey, can you give me some confidence?” He finally spoke, breaking the sad atmosphere,”The chess field is like a battlefield, and sometimes sacrifices are necessary… but you are definitely not one of them.”

He finally gave an order:”Zhang Qiu, it’s your turn to end this game!”

Ye Ting did not let Hermione and Susan move, but commanded the black knight to charge

“Checkmate (General)”

King Bai was forced to give up the siege on Hermione and Susan due to Zhang Qiu’s threat, and moved away to avoid the crisis.

“”Hermione, it’s your turn, checkmate him!” Ye Ting gave the order again.

The bishop played by Hermione took the initiative to attack for the first time, and the White King’s dodge happened to be within her attack range.

Everything was within Ye Ting’s calculations.

This time, the White Knight didn’t even have the chance to threaten Susan.

It was the only chess piece that could stop the checkmate, and could only be forced to turn around to defend, blocking Hermione’s chess piece and doing its best to protect its king.

But this step put it on Susan’s attack trajectory again………

“Susan, now is your time to show off.”Ye Ting turned his gaze to Susan,”Go, avenge yourself!”

This was also the first time Ye Ting ordered Susan to attack.

Susan blushed because of her previous self-conceit, and the White Knight became the object of her venting.

“Damn it, die, die, die!” Susan took two steps forward with her head down, and knocked the white knight to the ground with a hammer.

The white horse dragged the knight’s body and left the chessboard sadly.

Then it entered garbage time. Ye Ting controlled the three girls to attack in turns, almost one checkmate per step, and basically all of them were withdrawals.

The white king was exhausted and could only watch his wings being clipped off bit by bit, and finally he was completely killed.

He reluctantly took off the crown on his head and threw it at Ye Ting’s feet, symbolizing surrender.

The other white chess pieces also bowed and stepped back, making way for them to lead to the next door.

“Why do I feel like this is more and more like an exam? Hermione frowned and said thoughtfully,”We have passed the tests of Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall one after another. Now we only have Quirrell’s level left, and maybe Snape’s problem is waiting for us.”

With the expectation of the next level, the three continued to move forward.

But Ye Ting did not leave immediately, but continued to observe the chess pieces.

“Ye Ting, what’s wrong with you?” Hermione turned around in confusion and walked to him and asked

“I’m thinking, these chess pieces… I’m afraid it’s not just Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration.” Ye Ting made an excuse.

In fact, he was testing whether these chess pieces could become the collection of the system – the answer is yes.

He continued to explain:”Although Transfiguration is powerful, in order to make the transformed objects move autonomously, it usually requires the continuous control of the wizard. But now Professor McGonagall is not here at all, such a huge chess piece can not only move freely, but also play games with us… This is definitely not something that can be achieved by simple Transfiguration.”

“you mean……”

Ye Ting gently stroked the crown of the White King in his hand.”These chess pieces should be the product of the combination of Transfiguration and Alchemy. There is no need to say much about Transfiguration, but the way in which Alchemy is used makes me very curious.”

“Ah, I remember now!” Hermione’s eyes suddenly lit up,”Isn’t it recorded in the book”Hogwarts: A History”? In this ancient castle, there are countless statues and armors, which guard every corner silently on weekdays. But whenever Hogwarts encounters a crisis, they will wake up, obey the order of the principal, stand up and defend this ancient school and its students.”

Ye Ting certainly knew this too:”Yes, that is the legendary [Stone Step] guardian magic. I guess Professor McGonagall 4.0 may have been inspired by these statues and armors to create these chess pieces.”

“So…what do you mean?”

Ye Ting chuckled,”Since we are here, we can’t return empty-handed, right?”

“He wants to take all these chess pieces away.” Zhang Qiu directly told Ye Ting his plan.

Hermione frowned slightly and said worriedly:”But what if Professor McGonagall finds out?”

“Hermione, you want���Professor Dumbledore has a deep meaning behind everything he does.”

Ye Ting started to coax people again.

“He designed these levels not just for fun. I guess he wanted to train us little wizards in this way, so that we can learn through adventure and grow through challenges. And these chess pieces are the best teaching materials for us to learn from. Since they are teaching materials, it is not too much for us to take them back for reference.”

“”Yes, take them all away!” Susan agreed excitedly. She had been unhappy with these chess pieces for a long time.

Hermione was speechless for a moment. She looked at this group of enthusiastic partners and always felt that these people were Gryffindor.

Several people hurriedly stuffed the knocked-out chess pieces into Ye Ting’s boat-shaped hat. No one knew how his hat could hold so many things.

Hermione became more and more curious about Ye Ting’s hat.

Before Ye Ting left, he also hid the fallen crown in the hat.

This crown is not just a decoration, it is a pass to the next level.

Without it, I am afraid no one can get through this chessboard maze and enter the next level.
