Chapter 412
Although the sneak attack was despicable, Vladimir did not violate the rules of the game.
This was originally a contest of comprehensive qualities. The only thing to blame is Buso for not being vigilant. Just because the two of them worked together in the second round, he was not on guard against Vladimir.
But he just stared at the invisible grass in your hand.
What Zhaka was dissatisfied with was that Vladimir had beaten the man unconscious and had been eliminated, but he was unwilling to help launch a red spark to let the professors come to rescue.
There are so many dangers in the maze. Leaving a person who has lost his ability to fight there is simply asking for Buso's life!
Katerina also felt that Vladimir was too rude, and apologized to him in a low voice:
"Maybe he forgot because of the huge gains. I will criticize him when I come back."
Zaka sneered: "Then wait until you win the championship first, Dumbledore, I support you."
Dumbledore smiled awkwardly but politely, and did not intend to get involved.
Another ten minutes passed, Krum and Harry came to the tower one after another, and looked at the two command spells in his hand with fear. Krum did not choose to snatch them, but hid aside and waited for Harry to go in.
His target was Cassandra, Zaka, and Vladimir. These three were the warriors he thought were the weakest.
"We should also prepare to welcome the players." Crouch suddenly said, taking out the box containing medals.
The winning school of the Holy Grail War can hold the Holy Grail, and the medals are prepared for the players.
Several reporters nearby had already taken their cameras and were ready to follow and take pictures.
Fudge rolled his eyes: "Barty, how about letting me present the award?"
"This..." Crouch looked at Dumbledore in embarrassment.
Dumbledore smiled and said: "Of course, if you are willing to do it for me, that would be great."
Fudge was delighted. For politicians like him, positive exposure is their life. If he presents the award, the headlines of newspapers around the world tomorrow will be his headshot.
The referees stood up and left the stadium. They would hold a simple award ceremony outside the tower and then bring the people back.
In the maze, Harry was always vigilant about Krum.
Until the two keys were inserted and a passage appeared in front of him, and Krum did not move, he walked in with confidence.
Just as he stood still, the floor under his feet began to rise, and it took him to the fourth floor before stopping.
This is a wide hall. When Harry appeared, the torches on the wall suddenly lit up, allowing him to see the monster in the center clearly. His heart sank.
He had seen its picture in the Monster Book of Monsters.
It was the Sphinx, with a lion's body and a beautiful woman's head. Harry was tense and raised his wand, but did not cast a spell.
"I need to defeat you, or go back toAnswer your question? "
The Sphinx smiled slightly: "Both are fine. If you defeat me, you can also go to the next floor."
After saying that, she slightly turned aside to let Harry look at the stairs she blocked.
The thought of rushing up directly flashed through his mind, but Harry quickly extinguished it. The Sphinx was not a weakling. Like the Sphinx Manticore, it was a 5X level monster.
"I choose to ask and answer questions."
"Hermione, Wayne, lend me one percent of your IQ. I will return it to you after I use it up."
Harry prayed silently in his heart. The Sphinx sat on its hind legs and read:
[It has a head but no tail, and it has horns and a mouth. Twist its horns and water will flow from its mouth.]
[Answer me, what is this?]
Harry's eyelids twitched: "Can you read it again slower? "He was still praying when he finished reading the answer.
Not fair!
Fortunately, the Sphinx was in a good mood now, and patiently slowed down and read it again.
"It has a head but no tail, and water flows... The twisting horns, is this a mechanism?" Harry asked.
The Sphinx just smiled mysteriously, and Harry thought it meant encouragement, and he guessed the direction correctly.
"Water comes out when you twist it, a faucet? Right? "
The Sphinx smiled more cordially, said nothing, and just stepped aside.
Harry rushed into the passage ecstatically, not because he was one step closer to victory, but because he had just discovered that he was so smart, and he had to brag to Ron when he got back.
Where are the others? Has anyone already got the Holy Grail?
Will I run into them soon?
While going up the stairs, Harry's thoughts began to become complicated.
Originally, he was reluctant to participate in the competition, but since it had come to this, he couldn't help but have a wild desire for the champion. Heart, this is human nature.
However, Harry was taught by Grindelwald for half a year, and his mentality was still under control.
Soon, he came to the fifth floor.
The space here is as big as the one below. There is an ermine lying on the ground, and there are four man-eating plants in the corner, which have been torn into pieces.
Harry was stunned.
Has anyone passed this?
Is there only one test on each floor?
Suddenly, a low voice came from the stairs leading to the sixth floor.
"The ermine suddenly went crazy, Potter, you are lucky to pass this level directly."
Moody limped out.
"Professor, are you kidding me?"
Harry asked in disbelief, and Moody pointed to the ermine on the ground: "The staff responsible for selection did not notice that this ermine was in the q stage and was very irritable. I came here specifically to deal with it. ”
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, I’m leaving.”
After saying that, Moody ignored him and walked down the stairs.
UntilAfter he disappeared, Harry looked around the room again and found no other traps, so he walked towards the stairs on the sixth floor.
"Armor protection!"
"Shatter to pieces!"
Ding ding ding!
A crisp collision sounded in the room, and Harry took two steps back, but he finally blocked the spell.
"You can actually react?"
Moody looked at him in surprise and did not continue to attack.
"Heh." Harry sneered: "I have been on guard against you for a long time."
Moody's face sank, "Potter, when did you find out that there was something wrong with me?"
"I don't know what you want to do."
Harry said frankly, looking at the window on the left without a trace, and then fell on Moody again: "But I have a hunch."
In his expression, there were three parts of ridicule, three parts of calmness, and four parts of accustomedness.
"Although you haven't revealed your true identity this semester, you are the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. How can you just let it go so peacefully? Tell me, what is your purpose!" (acdf) A long illness makes a good doctor. Moody was tricked by the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for three semesters. He felt uncomfortable every day until he was exposed.
Now that he was attacked, Harry felt comfortable all over.
He was right! (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Moody's face was grim. He didn't expect that he was exposed for such a ridiculous reason. He cursed the three professors in his heart.
"So what if I was discovered." Moody waved his wand, and the windows on both sides closed automatically, and the signal sparks for help could not be emitted.
"Potter, Diggory has gone to the sixth floor. You can't win the championship, but it doesn't matter..." Moody spoke slowly, the scar on his face twisted into a ball: "I will catch you with my own hands and send you to the great master!"
Harry's pupils shrank slightly. Master, Moody is actually Voldemort's man?
No!
He is not Moody!
"Relax!" The thick voice echoed in the closed space, and the dazzling light flashed.
Harry rolled and dodged the spell, and a small hole was blown out of the wall behind him.
Without chanting a spell, the red light pointed directly at Moody, and then several sharp knives emerged from the ground. Attacked from both sides, Moody flattened the sharp knives with the Iron Armor Charm, and then shot away the beam.
Harry ran towards the upward stairs. The space here was too small. Only on the stairs did he dare to release the magic flame to protect himself, otherwise he would be trapped inside.
Moody was prepared. A burst of lightning hit the wall, and the collapsed rubble blocked the entrance.
"Potter! You can't escape!"
Moody laughed and shot out a dazzling silver light...
On the seventh floor, Cedric rushed in with a head full of bruises, but with a silly smile on his face. []
He almost thought he couldn't pass the sixth level.
Sixth floorThe gatekeeper he encountered turned out to be the horned water snake from Ilvermorny. Fortunately, the task required not to defeat the water snake, but to hold on for only ten minutes.
Otherwise, he really couldn't get through.
Not to mention him, Cedric felt that except for Sakura from the magic house, no one else had this ability.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that it could fly was enough to make it difficult to start.
Even so, he was hit hard by the horned water snake with its tail, which was in a playful mood, and now his whole body was in pain.
Seeing the Holy Grail placed at the end of the room, less than a hundred meters away from him, Cedric immediately filled his body with strength and began to sprint with all his strength.
As long as he got the Holy Grail, a whole year of hard work would not be in vain, and he could also win honor for Hufflepuff.
Cedric had never felt that a distance of a hundred meters was so long. When he came to the front panting and stepped on the last step, a soft whisper sounded in his ears.
"There are many obstacles."
Bang~~!
Cedric stumbled and fell, and behind him, a figure slowly emerged.
"Vladimir?" Cedric turned back in disbelief, looking at the sturdy young man who ignored him and approached the trophy.
"Diggory, you are very good. We can have a good chat in the future." Vladimir looked back at him, then kicked his wand away.
"But I can't give this championship to you. The Holy Grail belongs to Costorius and me."
"How did you get up here?" Cedric didn't resist after losing his wand, but asked curiously.
"Did you defeat the horned water snake directly?"
"No." Vladimir pouted sarcastically: "This is not the territory of Hogwarts, can't you just Apparate up here?"
Cedric looked stunned and watched Vladimir raise the Holy Grail.
The moment he raised the Holy Grail, dazzling golden light burst out instantly and rushed into the sky.
Then, Cedric saw Vladimir's belly button being pulled, his feet lowered to the opposite side, and he disappeared in front of him while spinning.
Outside the tower, when Fudge and other referees and reporters came over, they saw Krum lying unconscious on the ground.
Karkaroff hurried over and squatted to check the situation. He found that he was just hit by the coma spell. His expression eased a little, but he was still angry and said: "Who did it! Why didn't you send a distress signal!"
"It's good that he's okay." Fudge smiled and comforted.
Karkaroff was about to say something when there was a noise at the top of the tower. Everyone looked up and saw that the golden light had covered half of the tower.
"It seems that the final victory..."
Before Fudge finished speaking, his feet had left the ground.
The medal was firmly attached to his hand, dragging him flying at high speed. In the whistling wind, Fudge saw a person appear next to him, holding the Holy Grail in his hand.
He recognized it, this is the warrior of Costolis.
On the ground, looking at Fudge who has disappeared into the sky.
Everyone: "............".
