Chapter 270 Batty Appears
Although Xie Lin seems to have cracked this level easily and simply, it is actually because Xie Lin's strength has far surpassed most people in the wizarding world.Even the most elite and top-notch Auror in the Ministry of Magic would not be Schelling's opponent.
The person who set up this checkpoint probably didn't expect that Xie Lin, who was still a fourth-year student at school, would have such strength.
Don't talk about others, just take the protagonist in the original book as an example.
If Harry Potter was in Schelling's seat, according to his performance of passing through the golden mist in the original book, he just cast a shattering spell as a test. After seeing that the shattering spell had no effect, he rushed directly into the golden mist without any backhands.Fortunately, that piece of golden fog will only reverse the sky and the earth where the intruder is standing. Its purpose is purely to test the courage of the intruder. As long as you bravely continue to step forward, the magic will be unlocked automatically.
If Harry is still so reckless in the face of this fog, rushing into the attack range of the sword-leaf palm tree——
It is foreseeable that his end will definitely not be too good.
After passing this level, Schelling's route became smooth sailing.He once again summoned a group of magic voles to scout the way ahead for him. With their innate intuition for mazes, they can choose the optimal route to the end point even when encountering a fork in the road.
"The road behind is actually unobstructed. It seems—" Xie Lin walked quickly with a blank face, but there was a shocking coldness in the gray pupils, "Those people probably didn't expect that I would be able to break through the barrier of Sword Leaf Palm..."
After killing a forest troll in less than a minute at a corner, Xie Lin saw a faint light at the end of the path ahead, and Xie Lin finally reached the end——
The end point is an irregular octagonal space surrounded by hedges. There are many dark and gloomy intersections between the hedges, indicating that there are more than one paths leading to this place, but the route chosen by Schelling is undoubtedly the most optimal and the shortest time-consuming——
It must be stated here that the voles' pathfinding tactics adopted by Schelling are the most effective, which is much more effective than the "directing spell" used by Harry in the original book and many other protagonists of fan fiction.The orientation spell can only make the wand point to the north, which is the same principle as the compass. It allows the user to quickly identify the direction and choose the most likely route to the end.
For example, Harry enters the maze from the southeast entrance, and the end point is in his northwest. Being able to recognize the north will help him infer which fork is more likely to be correct.
However, anyone who has played maze games knows that the straight-line distance is not equal to the travel distance, because the design of the maze can completely allow you to go around a large circle, but finally find that it is a dead end. Do it all over again.What's more, according to Schelling's experience, this magic maze is alive, and the hedges inside are constantly moving, which increases the difficulty of traveling.
In the original book, if someone hadn't been helping in secret, relying on a directional spell alone to reach the finish line smoothly would be tantamount to nonsense.
Xie Lin himself was the first warrior to enter the labyrinth. If Xie Lin hadn't spent a lot of time at the sword-leaf palm tree, he was almost certain that he must be the first to reach the end. Now——
He couldn't be too sure.
After all, if Harry is secretly helped, it is very likely that he will reach the finish line before him. Don't forget, Harry's progress will only be smoother than described in the original book.In the original book, Harry also had to escape from the Blast-End Whelks and rescue Cedric from Krum—
As the snail died in his hands and the two female warriors withdrew early, these two plots should have been omitted in this plane world.
A hundred meters ahead of Schelling, the Triwizard Tournament trophy gleamed alluringly on a pedestal about a foot high.
The Goblet of Fire is still there!
Harry was gone!
Victory is at hand.
As soon as Xie Lin took a step forward, he stopped and stood still.
According to the routines of many novels that Xie Lin had read in his previous life, the closer to the last moment, the easier it is to overturn.Because people will always let down their vigilance at the moment closest to victory, and that moment is often the beginning of tragedy.
Xie Lin's God Sight Amaterasu was fully activated, within a radius of dozens of feet, not even a small bug on the grass could escape his observation.
Schelling slowly pointed his wand not far to the right.
At the same time, four strange black shadows appeared on the ground in the front, back, left, and right directions of Xie Lin. The shadows looked like human figures, but there were dense short spikes on the edges, like a human being covered in thorns.
"Interesting—" Xie Lin said softly, "Shadow of the Dragon?"
Where Xie Lin pointed, the camouflage created by the Illusion Curse slowly receded, revealing a thin figure with a wooden leg.
It's Mad-Eye Moody.
It was within Schelling's expectation, but also a bit beyond Schelling's expectation.
"Excellent!" Mad-Eye Moody's voice was frighteningly cold, "With my Disillusionment Curse, even Dumbledore can't easily locate me in such a dark corner. It seems that you have a lot of secrets..."
"Professor Moody, you're hiding here in ambush, isn't it just to talk nonsense to me?" A gleam flashed in Schelling's eyes, but he pretended to smile relaxedly, "Tell me why you came, Barty Crouch Jr."
"You really guessed my real identity!" The pupil of the fake Moody's normal eye shrank violently, and the fake eye was beeping non-stop. He said in a deep voice, "So, my dead father didn't die, and you rescued him in the end?"
As expected of a person whom Voldemort valued, he was able to clarify the cause and effect in such a short period of time, showing his extraordinary wisdom.
"Whether Mr. Crouch is alive or dead, I don't need to bother you," Schelling avoided answering, but instead showed a beating smile. "I'm even more curious about what is your purpose of infiltrating Hogwarts? Which master are you working for?"
Little Barty sneered a few times, "Stop pretending in front of me, cunning boy," he said in a tone of hatred, "You, like your insidious father, like to hide behind the scenes and plot...I don't believe you will be unaware of my goal...Since you have guessed my identity, it is impossible for you not to know my real purpose."
"It's Harry, right? If I'm not mistaken, your master needs his blood to be resurrected, right?" Sherin said, "Your target is Harry, so if you want to take Harry away from the maze without anyone noticing, you must first remove other warriors who are in the way, so..."
"You defeated the two female warriors in the maze. After all, Moody's alchemy prosthetic eye gave you the ability to see the overall situation of the maze. Even if they are not weak, if you make good use of the environment, it is not difficult to do this."
"After defeating them, I will become your next obstacle..." Xie Lin sneered, and a chill flashed in his eyes, "I have to say, your methods are much better than I imagined... Those bomb-tailed snails, magic arrow crossbowmen, sword-leaf palm trees, etc., are all your tricks?"
"It's unbelievable..." Little Batty clicked his tongue twice, and said with some unsatisfactory intentions: "Although I have tried my best to overestimate your strength... I still didn't expect that you could break through the three levels carefully arranged by the organization. The blood-changing monster, the magic-breaking arrow, and the sword palm. It seems that the lord really has the foresight... How did you practice? I'm afraid your strength is about to catch up with the magister?"
Schelling refused to comment, but instead asked casually: "Where's Harry? Logically speaking, I've been delayed for so long. He should have been here long ago, right? Could it be that you killed him?"
"It's not impossible to tell you, anyway, you'll be with him soon—" Rao, in the state of Barty Crouch Jr., couldn't hold back the pride in his heart at this moment, and said, "Harry—he's gone to where he should be—my master is coming back... Hahaha..." After finishing speaking, he laughed wildly to himself, his eyes filled with madness.
Judging by Little Barty's smug face, it seems that Harry was really captured by him.
Well, since the Goblet of Fire is still there, it means he has found another way to get Harry out.To be able to do this under the eyes of the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore, it is absolutely impossible to use simple methods such as Apparition and Portkey.
The Apparition ban might be broken, but not without alarming Dumbledore; similarly, it would be easy to create a brand new Portkey, but impossible to evade the Ministry of Magic's nationwide detection.
Schelling asked himself, if he were to do the task of "transporting Harry out of Hogwarts silently" today, would he be able to do it?the answer is--
can do it.There are tens of thousands of magics in this world, not all magics have the means to be detected, such as the disappearing cabinet is an example.
The method of making the disappearing cabinet has been lost, but if the opponent is the shadow of the dragon, the black witch from thousands of years ago, it seems that it is not a strange thing to know how to make the disappearing cabinet.So, here comes a new question, it is Voldemort who needs Harry's blood to revive him, what is the Shadow of the Dragon doing to capture Harry, unless...
A rather dire possibility occurred to Schelling.
"I really don't know what to say about you. The Dark Lord's resurrection only needs Harry's blood, but you have spent a lot of effort to take him away, just to let your master pretend to be majestic in front of his subordinates? And—" Sherin shook his head, and asked with a puzzled face: "Since your goal is Harry, and you have already succeeded, then why are you blocking me here? Just to show off to me?"
