[Comprehensive] Road to Trench

The result of Gellert Grindelwald's thinking was that the next day, Alex received an invitation to a tea party from Durmstrang.

Invite her to a tea party on the big ship in Durmstrang on a Saturday afternoon when there are no classes.

"It's a discussion and research meeting on ancient runes. Miss Antana thinks the theme is too serious and not suitable for this time period, so she insisted on adding afternoon tea and changing it into a tea party." The person who sent the invitation letter Mr. Ogden said with a smile, "But the content is still worth looking forward to - everyone present at the meeting has quite deep research on ancient runes."

Alex's heart was immediately hooked: especially after Ogden handed her a paper that was said to be a tea party entrance test, and asked her to try it first, so that she could have a simple understanding of the scope of the tea party. When you know.

After attending this teapot party, even before the tea party showed signs of ending, Alex couldn't help but start looking forward to the next tea party: she met a knowledgeable blonde wizard at the tea party, and the two hit it off almost immediately , especially when it comes to rune academics, the other party, like Alex, adheres to the principle of "practicality is the first priority", using extremely practical research to propose results as soon as possible, and then through the results to give back funds to study more project.

Of course, theory is also important, but people have to move forward step by step. If the steps are too fast, it is easy to fall.

Not to mention when you look at the starry sky, but don't pay attention to the road in front of you.

After the tea party, the two exchanged bark numbers (Alex was pleasantly surprised to find that this bark also has considerable research on bark, while affirming the current main structure of bark, the blond wizard also put forward quite a few constructive suggestions) , The eager discussion extended from the tea party all the way to Wang Wang.

If it wasn't because Alex is still a child, needs enough sleep, and has limited energy, and the other party has other things to arrange and plan, the two of them can spend about 24 hours of the [-] hours a day on Wang Wang academic communication.

The last level of the Triwizard Tournament is still a few months away. Without much hesitation, Alex devoted all his attention to the topic of optimizing and expanding the Taobei structure—especially now that there is an academically capable Fantastic support for making friends.

Therefore, Mihail, who wanted to ask Alex to go to Hogsmeade to go shopping (yue) street (hui), after bumping into the wall five times, finally knew the truth about his rejection from his uncle's overwhelmed smile one day.

It is said that on the big ship of Durmstrang that day, there was a sudden thunderbolt with lightning and thunder, and even white flames sprang up, but when curious students surrounded them, those visions disappeared inexplicably.

This is included in the "Durmstrang Top [-] Unbelievable" - before that was the Big Nine, by the way.

Ogden and Antana, who knew the truth, were both secretly happy and heartbroken. The good thing is that you, Mrs. Michael, have today. Miss Alex, please continue to mercilessly reject his invitation. The heartache is the rejected second Daime turned around and gave them a lot of tasks, covering all aspects of astronomy, geography, economy, sports, education and scientific research. Its scope was so wide that Gellert Grindelwald couldn't help but ask his dear nephew if he intend to conquer the world.

"No, I just think the Saints are too busy recently." The blond boy replied with a half-smile.

I'm too free to watch his jokes when I have time. No matter how I look at it, it's because he hasn't taken good care of their work recently.

As a qualified boss, under such circumstances, it is natural to tighten the skin of his subordinates!

However, all of this had nothing to do with Alex, who was immersed in reading all kinds of tomes and purely academic papers recommended by a generation of Dark Lords.

When the founder of Taobei came back to his senses from the pile of research topics that he had buried himself in, the third game of the Triwizard Tournament came quietly.

The third game is a maze.

The Goblet of Fire is placed deep in the maze, whoever gets the Goblet of Fire first will be the champion of the Triwizard Tournament.

And the location of this maze is...

"The whole of Hogwarts Castle?"

In the third match, four warriors stood at the entrance of Hogwarts Castle. Edward Mothan frowned: "Is this fair to us? Will Hogwarts players be unfamiliar with their castle?"

"About fairness, please don't worry." Ludo Baderman said with a cheerful smile, "The current Hogwarts Castle is not the Hogwarts Castle you know-our sponsor has a Considerable strength."

It wasn't until the four of them entered in batches according to the scores of the first two levels—the advanced ones with the most scores, and the backward ones with the fewest scores—that they discovered that Ludo Badman really wasn't lying.

where is this! ?

Pinelli, dressed as a Beauxbaton student, is Edward Mothan, a former Hogwarts graduate, and Harry Potter, a Hogwarts student who has studied in this castle for nearly two years. Mikhail Grindelwald, who used the entire Hogwarts as a playground for half a year under the leadership of his uncle when he was a child, almost immediately asked where he was after entering.

The only one who didn't question was Alex.

The little girl with silver curly hair looked at the familiar scene with a wooden face: the interior view of her first-generation mage tower.

Generally speaking, there is no such thing as a new version of the mage tower. Most archmages only have one mage tower in their lives: this has almost exhausted all their wealth and wisdom.

However, the mage tower of the illithid is an exception.

It's not that it doesn't cherish its mage tower. As a psion converted to mage, this psion is still an external illithid and an internal human (although it doesn't know if its pitch-black soul can still be used as a mage) Human existence), many strange phenomena were caused when he was promoted. Then, after the first construction of the Mage Tower, the Mage Tower collapsed because it was incompatible with the expected attributes... It seems reasonable in the matter?

It's a very inexplicable statement, but the reason why the first mage tower built by the illithid collapsed was that the attributes were inconsistent.

Fortunately, failure is the mother of success. Based on the miscarriage (?) of the first child (?), the second-generation mage tower finally stood upright for a hundred years, and then it was destroyed by the arrival of the spider goddess of the drow elves. ——After being able to resist the spider, the second-generation mage tower can be regarded as leaving its own trace in the history of mages.

Although its owner really couldn't be happy for the second-generation mage tower who left his name in history.

After all, the financial and material resources needed to destroy this thing and rebuild it are really not ordinary high.

All in all, let’s get down to business, Alex finally confirmed after being familiar with it for a long time, and digging out the dusty cobweb-covered memory of a generation of mage towers from his memory, the interior of Hogwarts is really arranged as The internal structure of a generation of mage towers.

——However, rather than the layout, it is better to connect the construction room in her current mage tower with Hogwarts, and then construct the interior of a generation of mage tower through the central control system.

What did William tell Dumbledore that he could get this kind of authority from Hogwarts?

In Alex's view, Hogwarts is equivalent to the mage's tower for four people built by the four giants a thousand years ago, so it can be said to be a spectacle that it can be opened to outsiders now.

Forget it, don't think about this issue... Alex retracted his speculation about whether there was any ulterior transaction between William and Dumbledore, seeing that there seemed to be no strange scenery in front of him, he began to think hard about building the first When a mage tower was added, something was added to it.

Well, I remember that I hated the mazes in the Dark Elf Territory at that time, so I also added a four-dimensional three-dimensional maze in my mage tower...

Later, because it also got lost in this four-dimensional maze too many times, when the second-generation mage tower was built, the illithid decisively canceled the maze setting.

——Although the experience of getting lost inside is quite fun...

A drop of cold sweat rolled down the forehead of the little girl with silver curly hair.

Uh, her butler of the mage tower is not so cruel that she can also get out of the four-dimensional maze she made back then...

If it wasn't for the situation, Alex really wanted to shout to the sky: Let the ball go!

The so-called four-dimensional maze is that a time axis is added to the common three-dimensional maze - three-dimensional maze.

It is too troublesome to explain in detail. To put it simply, assuming that the exit location of the three-dimensional maze is x, after changing to a four-dimensional maze, the exit of this maze becomes "x at a certain point in time"-if the time is wrong, even if You stand on point x, and you can't get out.

Can anyone other than her really get out of this level of maze?

Alex worried about the other three contestants while counting the bizarre timeline upside down.

Or... only she is facing a four-dimensional maze, and the other three are only facing a three-dimensional maze?

After calculating the time axis, the little girl with silver curly hair found out with a wooden face that the possibility of realizing this idea is as high as [-]%.

The remaining [-]% is William's decision to cut himself off and kill everyone.

When she gets out, she must beat up William!

Alex, who swears like this, finished calculating the last coordinate point and stepped into the determined target time axis.

The scenery in front of him suddenly changed. He should be in the room, but it turned into the scenery outside the castle.

But this is not the end.

Not surprisingly, Alex prepares to recalculate: apparently, she's on the wrong track.

But when she just wrote down the first number, a somewhat familiar chill hit her.

The guards of Azkaban, who wore black cloaks and no one knew what was under the cloaks, quietly appeared outside the castle.

To be precise, it appeared near a little silver curly-haired witch riding a broom.

Alex froze: Is that... herself?

Take a closer look, here...

Isn't this the place and scene when she was rescued by Mihail in the last school year?

Almost at the same time she was thinking this, the boy's clear voice sounded:

"Call God Guard!"

Silver light and mist were quickly released from the tip of the staff, and soon condensed into a huge thing that was also covered with a cloak. As soon as the Patronus came out, it rushed straight at the dementor——the dementor who saw the natural enemy immediately wanted to He ran away, but was grabbed by the patron saint and grabbed his head.

The dementor's body twitched a few times, and fell powerlessly.

The chill was gone.

The dementor is dead.

The girl who fell from the broom was caught by the blond boy and held in his arms like guarding a treasure, but Alex's attention was no longer there.

This was the scene when she was taking flight lessons last year. At that time, she had passed out, so Alex didn't see Mihail's Patronus at that time.

Now, she sees it.

The appearance of the boy's patron saint——

No one can be more familiar than her.

—Illithids.
