[Comprehensive] Road to Trench

That night, Alex met Harry in the hallway on the first floor, and the two went up to the eighth floor together.

Mikhail was already waiting inside, and when he saw the two people coming, he stuffed the prepared paper bags over: "Go and change your clothes first."

Without saying anything, he was stuffed into a paper bag, and then pushed into a changing room by Alex, who was puzzled for a moment. He didn't understand what Mihail was trying to sell. When she opened the paper bag and saw the clothes inside , His face flushed red all of a sudden.

Swimming, swimsuit?

Michael What does that mean! ?

When she was about to rush out of the dressing room, she suddenly remembered the white mist she saw when she came in just now.

That's water mist.

Behind the screen, is there a pool?

Thinking about my speculation about the golden egg again, could it be that the clue needs to be in the water to appear?

So, Mihail prepared a swimsuit?

After straightening out the relationship, the rosy-cheeked little girl turned around and went to change clothes.

What Mihaile gave her was a two-piece swimsuit with colorful petals on a white background, and the ruffle-like skirt decoration made it look more like a skirt with a slightly shorter top.

After she finished wearing it, she realized that there was still a lavender gauze shawl under the paper bag.

Harry and Michael were already waiting in the pool when Alex went out.

"I tried it before, and found that its sound underwater is different from that on the surface." Mihail also changed into his swimming trunks and was bare-chested. The boy's body was a bit thin because he was in the growth period, but that The faintly visible muscle texture lets people know that the appearance of the surface is not everything.

"The ground here is wet and slippery, be careful." He reached out to Alex, held her hand, and carefully pulled her into the pool.

When the three of them were ready, he put the prepared golden egg into the water, and the three of them held their breath together and submerged in the water.

Michael then opened the golden egg.

A melodious and melodious singing sounded underwater.

【We will take away your treasure, your most precious thing.Want to bring back your treasure, come to the dark depths with your token, but you only have one hour.

An hour later, nothing exists anymore. 】

The song was not long, probably because the two junior students who hadn't learned the Bubble Curse couldn't hold their breath for a long time, the song was played quickly, and the three of them came out of the water together.

Alex's physical fitness was not as good as the other two. After getting on the water, he gasped for a while before dispelling the feeling of lack of oxygen when he just held his breath: "Treasure? Someone is going to steal my things?"

At this moment, the former archmage thought of his mage tower, and sincerely felt sad for the wizard who was going to perform this task: "William will blow the heads of anyone who dares to take my things."

Harry: "...I don't think any wizard can find your mage's tower. This should be what we are in Hogwarts, right?"

Alex thought about it for a while, and he was right: "Mihail, do you have any ideas?"

"It has a time limit." Mihail put the golden eggs aside. "Will they destroy the treasure after an hour?"

"...This has to be guarded against." Alex wiped his face with a serious face, "I will go and put defensive spells on Taobei and the CPU, especially my CPU, even if it is stolen It cannot be destroyed either!"

——If Taobei is destroyed, it will be over!

Recently, in order to expand the framework, Alex moved the processor out of the Mage Tower. Since the current project is still in the process of "disassembling", there is no way to put it back into the Mage Tower.

Therefore, if the scope of "treasure" is defined in Hogwarts, there is no doubt that the CPU that best meets this definition is the central processing unit.

Harry looked a little depressed: "My treasure...is my broom?" He was a little unsure.

Mihaier found that the thinking of these two people was surprisingly consistent, which made him a little sad. He pursed his lips and suppressed the disappointment in his heart: "Haven't you ever thought that this treasure is a person?"

The two were stunned at the same time, and Harry came back to his senses first: "Hermione! Ron!"

He dropped this sentence, climbed out of the pool, picked up his clothes and ran out in a hurry.

Alex watched his friend leave without even changing his clothes, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "God bless Harry from catching a cold tomorrow..."

Michael was considerate and responsive to every request. The temperature in the house was just right, and the water in the pool was lukewarm, just the right temperature to keep them from getting cold.

But it's not the same outside the Room of Requirement.

It's January outside!

January in the UK... hope Harry remembers to cast the heat spell on himself.

Forget it, even if he has a cold, Madam Pomfrey can take a dose of cold potion and it will be cured - only Harry will have smoke in his ears by then.

When she looked away, she realized that she and Mikhail were the only ones in the room now.

And, they're still in the pool.

Realizing this fact, Alex's ears turned pink immediately.

She decided to say something to divert her attention: "Well... can Michael think of anyone who would be a treasure?"

The blond-haired boy hummed, and looked at the girl with silver curly hair without blinking: "My treasure...they probably won't choose my real treasure."

"Huh?" Alex was extremely curious, "Why?"

Mikhail didn't answer directly, but asked: "Who did Alex just think of when I said that Treasure is a person?"

This question was very simple, and Alex answered without hesitation: "Uncle Bucky!"

"That's it." The blond boy said in a flat tone, got up and left the pool, "Okay, no matter who it is, you will know when the game is over. I'll go back first, and Alex also remember to go back early to rest."

Not long after, the door was opened and closed, and only Alex was left in the room of Response, who was still soaking in the pool.

The little girl with silver curly hair came out of the pool and untied her wet hair, still thinking about Mikhail's appearance when he left just now:

Why does it feel like Mihail is very angry?

"Mihail, are you angry?"

Gellert Grindelwald watched his nephew return to the boat late at night. Although his expressions and actions were the same as usual, a generation of Dark Lords who knew his nephew's character well realized that the child was angry.

"Ah."

Michael responded without denying it, but without mentioning why he was angry.

The blond wizard walked up to Mikhail and stroked his hair, which was still obviously wet: "Did you go to the Black Lake for a winter swim?"

"No."

A crisp answer.

This is not light...

Gellert simply sat down next to his nephew, taking a good rest: "How are you preparing for the second game tomorrow?"

With this question, he clearly felt that Mihail's breath became more condensed.

Found the crux.

"What's the second match?"

Mikhail was silent for a while, probably trying to organize his words, and then said: "Now it is speculated that the organizing committee will tie up the important people of the warrior as hostages, and put them in a place for the warrior to go through the test to rescue. As for the place , the song refers to the 'dark depths', combined with the situation of Hogwarts, either the depths of the Forbidden Forest or the Black Lake."

Inferred to this point, that's about the same.If he can't even deduce this, then he will have to think about "training" his nephew again... The first-generation Dark Lord smiled slightly: "Do you know that the Goblet of Fire lost its temper this time?"

Can the Goblet of Fire lose its temper?

Mikhail glanced at his uncle who was obviously preparing to watch a good show: "Oh?"

"The Goblet of Fire really lost its temper when choosing that Miss Barnes." Gellert smiled and shook his head, "Guess who was the first one that spewed out?"

"James Barnes," Michael said deadpan.

The Dark Lord who was about to watch his nephew joke: "..."

"Oh, you know pretty well..." Gellert said dryly.

——I originally wanted to mock my nephew, "You put him first, and he is not even you in third place"...

After thinking about it, not reconciled, the Dark Lord said again: "Then do you know who is the second most important girl in my heart?"

To the reaction of the uncle who was watching the play, Mihaier rolled his eyes back at him, got up with a cold face and prepared to go back to the room.

Now the old devil king was happy, and he didn't care if Mihail was listening or not, so he continued, "The second one is her pet Agana." One sentence, "I also gave the pet a middle name and a last name. That little girl is really kind to her pet."

Comparing it to my nephew... Oh, it really is good for people to live a long time!

For example, decades ago, he never imagined that he would be able to see the jokes of his nephew who was always tripping him up behind his back!

Sure enough, Mikhail's movements stopped. Although his back was turned and he couldn't see his expression, Gellert could guess his expression from his breath-like reply: "Last name?"

"I remember... her name is Agana Sifiasha Haieri." A generation of Dark Lord recalled the news he had received from his subordinates, and nodded affirmatively, "Mihail...Mihail?"

When he looked up again, his nephew had disappeared without a trace, and only the curtain that was still rolling showed that the boy had just passed through it and left.

Uncle was puzzled: Did he run back because he was so stimulated?

But this reaction is wrong!

The next day was the game time for the second level. When Alex walked to the preparation area, he saw Harry with a pale face.

"Hermione is gone..." Harry bit his lip, "She was with me at lunch, but... Alex, did anyone around you disappear?"

The silver-haired girl nodded: "I probably know who they kidnapped... My roommate, Hannah, disappeared—it was also after lunch."

Seeing Harry's bewildered look, Alex patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry."

Harry forced a smile at her, still panicked in his eyes: If he didn't save Hermione in time...then Hermione...

He didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

After hesitating for a while, Alex decided to tell Harry his conjecture: "Harry, calm down. Have you noticed that, except for Edward Mosan, whom we don't know, your token and I didn't suggest the next scene?" A clue to the game?"

Harry froze for a moment, and raised his hand, which was holding the pebble-like carnelian.

"Mihail's golden egg indirectly informed the clues of the next game, but your token and I don't have any clues in this regard-then, will our token prompts appear during the game?"

Soon, the four warriors assembled, and Ludo Badman began to introduce the game with a high and cheerful voice: As they had speculated before, they needed to rescue their important people.

The only thing known is that the hostages were held deep in the Forbidden Forest.

"I don't know the exact location, but the time limit is one hour. Warriors, please hurry up and enter the Forbidden Forest from their respective entrances!"

After the words fell, the warriors who had prepared in advance at various entrances entered the Forbidden Forest almost at the same time as Ludo Badman raised his magic wand and released a fireworks signal.

The moment the four of them entered the Forbidden Forest, the levitating cloak following Edward Mosang suddenly stuck to his body and flew him into the air!

Standing high in the sky, Edward Mosang clearly saw four people tied to four wooden frames erected in an open space far away in the Forbidden Forest.

The carnelian in Harry Potter's hand glowed, and a red light shot from it, pointing somewhere deep in the Forbidden Forest.

The cat bell in Alexandra Barnes's hand made a soft chime.

Only the golden egg floating behind Mihail remained silent.

"Four tokens, four different reminders." Angus, one of the commentators, laughed in the stands, "Who can arrive first?"

Mihail's golden egg will give a hint before the game, and Edward Moissan's levitating cloak will take him into the air after the game starts, allowing him to confirm the location of the hostage; Harry Potter's carnelian will always point to the hostage , Alex's cat bell will ring more and more frequently as the distance between Alex and the hostage shortens.

The pros and cons are different, each has its strengths and weaknesses.
