Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

#421 - Chapter 421 Axiom: Between two points, the shortest distance is a line segment

“Ladies and gentlemen, the final match of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin!” Bagman's voice was full of passion, resounding throughout the stands. “We can see that all the champion teams are in position, and each team will set off in order of their total scores from the first two matches, with an interval of five minutes!”

“Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, and Cedric Diggory of Hogwarts, their total score from the first two matches is 96 points, ranking first! This gives them a huge advantage of 5 minutes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the stands. The Hogwarts students waved their flags and shouted the names of the three Harry.

After fully mobilizing the atmosphere of the audience, Bagman picked up a specially made alchemical microphone.

“Now, please get ready, Hogwarts champion team.”

Hearing Bagman's voice in the waiting room, the three of Harry held their breath, gripped their wands tightly, and stared intently at the colorful magical barrier in front of them, ready to attack at any moment.

“3 — — 2 — — 1, begin!”

As the countdown ended, the colorful magical barrier dissipated like water waves, revealing the true face of the maze. The three of Harry did not hesitate at all and rushed in immediately.

As soon as they stepped into the maze, they felt the huge difference in space. It was much wider here than it looked from the outside, and obviously had an Undetectable Extension Charm cast on it.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, without even a trace of sound. On the ceiling, a dim blue magical lamp hung every few meters.

The light was so weak as to be almost pitiful, barely able to illuminate a few steps under the lamp, but it made the surrounding darkness appear even more intense and deep, as if something was watching them from the darkness.

The towering hedges were almost connected to the ceiling, blocking most of the light outside, leaving only a few weak light and shadows passing through the gaps, reflecting on the ground, forming irregular mottled patterns. The heavy tree walls cast a strong shadow, bringing a suffocating sense of oppression.

“Lumos!” Harry waved his wand, and a ball of light flew out from the tip of the wand, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Cedric was not idle either. He whispered a detection spell. Although the map had indicated that there were no dangers near the entrance, no one could be sure whether the dark creatures in the maze would run around. It would be prudent to confirm it first.

After confirming that there was no danger around, he nodded to Harry and Draco.

Then the three of them used the light brought by the Lumos Charm to quickly run forward along the only passage.

Before long, they encountered the first fork in the road. According to the map they had obtained earlier, the road on the right was a dead end, and the road on the left was the correct one, except that there would be some dark creatures, Red Caps, lying in ambush on the road.

“Friends in the audience, the Hogwarts champion team has encountered the first fork in the road. To go left or to go right, that is the question.”

Bagman passionately explained: “However, these three champions don't seem to be struggling. They raised their wands and aimed them at the tall hedges in front of them.”

Three red rays shot out, and a deafening roar came from the magic screen. When the splashing branches completely landed, the little wizards were surprised to find on the screen that there was already a huge irregular gap in the tall hedges. Harry and the other two gripped their wands and went straight through the gap without even looking at the small roads on both sides.

“It's the blasting curse!” Bagman shouted directly, his excited appearance making it impossible to imagine that this was the first generation Dark Lord Grindelwald.

“The three of them used the blasting curse together to blast a big hole directly in the hedges in front of them. It's really unexpected.”

“Look, the three of them raised their wands again and blasted another gap in the hedges in front of them with the blasting curse. Merlin! Are they planning to open a road by themselves?”

“I have to say, Hogwarts' tactics are very effective. Since it's difficult to find the right path in the maze, why not create one yourself.”

“Cheating!” Karkaroff stood up directly from the headmaster's seat. He looked at the scene on the magic screen and slammed the table in front of him angrily. “This is a serious act of cheating!”

“I think it's a very clever behavior.” The headmaster of Uagadou said with a smile, his words full of praise for the three of Harry.

“Karkaroff, strictly speaking, the competition rules do not explicitly prohibit contestants from destroying these hedges, so it has nothing to do with cheating.”

“Let me say a fair word,” the headmaster of Ilvermorny also said, “We all know that those hedges have spells cast on them to reinforce them. It takes a lot of effort to destroy them. To be honest, it's no easier than facing those dark creatures.”

“Moreover, most of those dark creatures are irritable. I think the Hogwarts team will soon pay the price for their recklessness.”

Hearing the evaluation of the headmaster of Ilvermorny, Dumbledore's eyes flashed. He stroked the beard on his chest without showing any emotion, neither denying it nor expressing too much, just smiling and responding to the surrounding gazes.

No particularly dangerous dark creatures were placed in the first layer of the maze. Although they were irritable, they also had basic survival instincts. In this case, they did not dare to trouble Harry and the others.

The truth was indeed so. In places that the magic camera could not capture, many dark creatures similar to Red Caps hid themselves firmly in the corners of the hedges after hearing the rumbling explosion.

We can't afford to provoke them, we really can't afford to provoke them!

The Auror safety personnel hidden in the dark were also shocked by the behavior of the three of Harry.

Good heavens, these young people are so energetic!

The three of Harry were not aware of the conversation between the headmasters, nor could they see the expressions of the safety personnel. They had no intention of taking care of the mental health of those dark creatures. After they got the map, they figured out one thing, that is, the shortest distance between the starting point and the ending point is a straight line.

Their only goal was to move forward, keep moving forward, and smash the hedges and the ignorant dark creatures that stood in their way. Anyway, the rules did not prohibit it, as for the consumption of energy...

The three of them said that a few blasting curses are nothing.

To be honest, facing the hedges in front of him, Harry really wanted to use Sectumsempra. After all, this spell is more concise and efficient for cutting trees, and there would be no flying debris.

It's just that Sectumsempra has a trace of dark magic, and Harry was worried that he would be judged as violating the rules because of this.

In order to avoid this misunderstanding, he could only honestly cast the blasting curse. He blasted more and more vigorously, as if he wanted to vent all the pent-up anger in his heart recently.

The explosions continued one after another, and the hedges fell down in response. The three of them went all out and quickly approached the center of the first layer of the maze.

While the three of Harry were advancing at full speed, Sebastian returned to the second layer of the maze from the third layer.

He had just stood at the entrance of the third layer and sensed the trophy from afar, but to his surprise, the trophy was not disguised with a Portkey.

This is interesting......

What kind of backhand did Barty Crouch Jr. prepare? What method would he use to take Harry away?
