Chapter 76 Stunned
Professor Quirrell quickly took the forbidden medicine to suppress the pain. He breathed a sigh of relief and clenched his wand to teach this 'vampire enemy' who was coming from afar a profound lesson.
"Quirinas." The hoarse voice seemed to sense his killing intent.
"Let him breathe until we get the magic stone before killing him."
"I understand, Master." Professor Quirrell responded.
He was about to use a magic spell to eliminate the subtle wisp of smoke and the hidden smell in front of him, when he heard a hoarse voice speaking in his mind:
"Coming."
In the distance, with a click, the door lock of the room was unlocked, and it seemed that someone was about to push the door in.
…
"When we get here, there seems to be no smell." Meka frowned.
He heard that there seemed to be no one in the room at the last level, and he had never smelled Professor Quirrell's scent. He wondered whether Quirrell had already entered the room where the Philosopher's Stone was stored, and was waiting for Harry to pass.
If Professor Quirrell leaves early, the smell here will naturally gradually disappear, and this is a possibility.
"Besides, how did you feel about being spied on just now?" Meka thought.
He was thinking that this might be a method left by the professors to check if anyone was breaking into the level without permission and to steal the magic stone.
It is also possible that Quirrell deliberately left a curse to monitor him in case the professors arrived, so that he could escape at any time.
"I wouldn't dare go in without testing it."
Meka was also worried about being attacked outside the forbidden book area last time. He took a look at his current spell situation:
"Magic: Transformation Charm level 17, Transformation Charm level 17, Humanoid Revealing Charm level 17, Color Changing Charm level 17, Restoration Charm level 17, Bird Summoning Charm level 16. Unlocking Charm level 4, Disarming Charm level 2, Levitation Charm 3 level, lighting spell level 3, fire spell level 3, iron armor spell level 2."
"The chessboard is well preserved. If I notice someone inside, it should be able to help me block the enemy a little when I come back. As long as I have a while, I can stay away immediately."
Meka knew that his Animagus speed was ridiculously fast, much higher than the last time in the Forbidden Forest. As long as he could take one step ahead, he could catch the enemy off guard and fly away.
Meka carefully opened the door a crack, observed what was going on inside, and then recited a spell. A clear light suddenly spread rapidly from the center of the body, and bright spots of light fell.
"Appear quickly!"
This clear light shows the extremely skillful casting skills and the caster's deep magic foundation. The 'Humanoid Revealing Spell' has a wide range and illuminates half of the room. If someone hides in it, he will definitely be there. Be photographed.
"Seems no one is there?" Meka looked through the door.
"Birds flock!"
Meka barely breathed.
Large pieces of stone suddenly whizzed away and turned into a large flock of birds shooting like arrows, covering every corner. Large pieces of white feathers fell down. If someone was invisible, the feathers would fall on him, as if floating in the air.
"It seems there is no one." Meka finally pushed open the door and completely entered the flame door level.
…
In the corner of the Flame Gate, Professor Quirrell was squatting in the corner. A gray light emerged from his body, turning his body into some kind of mist, causing the white bird feathers to fall to the ground.
"So cautious?" Quirrell stared at the door, feeling a little gloomy. The vampire didn't come in for a long time, as if he knew he was ambushing here and was preparing for his ambush.
He originally wanted to end the invisibility effect of the Illusion Curse, pursue it directly, and control it. But the adult in his body told him to be careful, because the strange wizard in front of him was proficient in transfiguration and had a strong foundation. Don't be careless and let him run away to warn him.
At this moment, a strange wizard finally walked in. He was a young man with red hair. Quirrell felt that his face was unfamiliar, as if he had never seen it before, and it seemed to be a fake face. He guessed in his heart.
"Get closer..." Quirrell's eyes were as bright as fire, waiting for the red-haired young man to approach.
His body was arched, as if a cheetah was hiding in the darkness, his wand was tightly clenched, and his magic power was surging, ready to deliver a potentially fatal and maiming blow to the approaching enemy at any time.
"It's close, it's close..." Quirrell waited calmly.
He watched the red-haired young man walk very cautiously, turning back every step of the way, fearing that someone was squatting behind him.
"That's it." Finally, Quirrell sneered and raised his wand, the magic power surged, and a terrifying light was brewing to shoot out.
"Pfft!" The red-haired young man who had come closer suddenly turned into a bat. He flapped his wings and suddenly retreated at a staggering speed. His body turned into a dark shadow and passed through the entrance door in an instant. Go away.
Bang! Talon also closed the door.
"This?" Professor Quirrell was stunned. He was still escaping at such a close distance?
…
The purple-eyed bat, which had already flown across the wizard's chessboard, looked back from the corner of its eye and found that no one was following it, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Professor Quirrell is actually so insidious?" Meka sighed.
If he hadn't keenly smelled something strange in the air halfway through, and felt a unique and terrifyingly secret smell slowly spreading in the corner, he might not have noticed that someone was still hiding there.
"This smell seems to contain some of the medicinal ingredients of the bone regenerating potion and the detoxifying potion?" Meka thought, his sense of smell was terribly sensitive, and recalling it at this moment, he actually analyzed some familiar ingredients.
He therefore analyzed that Professor Quirrell might have been injured or poisoned when he took this medicine.
"In addition, since Professor Quirrell is hiding in front of the flame door, and the flame door is intact as before, it means that he has not entered the room of the Sorcerer's Stone; for some reason, his phantom spell can completely turn invisible, and I cannot break it for the time being. "Meka was analyzing Professor Quirrell's situation.
This information may seem simple, but it may work wonders when trying to snatch the magic stone.
"And he seemed to have noticed my arrival a long time ago."
Meka thought of the feeling of being spied on again.
He guessed that this spell had something to do with Quirrell. After he broke through the wizard's chessboard, he spied on him and prepared to ambush him.
"Fortunately, I ran fast." Meka was very happy.
My own Animagus is good at flying. The moment the opponent didn't respond, it spread its wings and flew away, leaving no time to catch up.
Of course, what's more important is that the other party didn't expect that he would suddenly realize or know that a bat could explode at such an exaggerated speed.
"Now that we've been discovered, just wait here for a while."
Meka no longer intends to take risks to observe the other party. He has already mastered some information about the other party and is very satisfied. Further observation may bring unforeseen dangers.
So Meka hung calmly in the shadows, motionless, waiting for another person to arrive, and waiting for the opportunity to seize the magic stone.
…
Time passed quietly while waiting. Finally, several young wizards were welcomed into the wizard chessboard room, and a fierce stone statue 'war' took place on the chessboard.
For a moment, the warring chess pieces fought with each other, and the stone statues on both sides were damaged. A stone soldier drew his sword out of its sheath. Amidst the huge roar, the stone sword actually shone with metallic luster, and penetrated the other stone statue with one sword, breaking it into pieces. Countless rocks.
For a moment, rubble rained down, covering the surrounding area, and also fell on Ron who was riding on the back of the 'Knight' stone statue, causing him to scream in agony.
"Ron! Are you okay?!" Harry was startled and asked loudly.
"I...cough..." Ron coughed in response as the dust was flying:
"I'm okay, I'm okay, but maybe it won't be okay next..."
"It's time for a general." Harry quickly understood what Ron meant. He looked at the chessboard with a heavy expression on his face.
The 'Bishop' chess piece he is on is protecting his own 'King' chess piece. Now the 'Bishop' chess piece has been surrounded by the 'White Queen'. This sword will soon pierce the 'Bishop' stone statue in front of him, and may destroy it. He is implicated.
With the power he just saw, he might be killed by that sword.
There are no regrets on this chessboard, and the people on it cannot stop, otherwise they will be surrounded by stone statues, unless you can 'generalize' the opponent.
"Harry." Ron hesitated, his eyes flickered, and finally he gritted his teeth and said:
"This game of chess has reached a decisive point. Next, I will stop in front of the 'White Queen', and she will eat me. After that, you can go to check."
"You know what I mean, Harry," said Ron.
"What's going on?" Hermione asked on the 'castle' chess piece. She saw that both of them looked unhappy, so she looked worried.
"Ron has to sacrifice himself." Harry's face darkened: "Ron, there are other ways..."
"This is the only way to go!" Ron retorted:
"Harry, I am extremely familiar with wizard chess. Only by sacrificing me as a chess piece can we win this game. Otherwise, everyone may be buried in this room where the sun cannot be seen."
"You are the one who is going to stop Snape from taking away the Sorcerer's Stone!" Ron's eyes were blazing: "You have to keep moving forward, and I might be fine..."
"Ron!" Harry wanted to stop him.
Ron has already given the order: "Knight, go to H3."
The stone statue of the 'Knight' revived and walked towards the designated position on the chessboard. Finally, it stopped in front of the 'White Queen'. He gritted his teeth and said: "General!"
The stone statue of the 'White Queen' that was about to attack the 'Bishop' piece under Harry turned around and headed towards Ron.
It unsheathed its sword with a clang, and pierced the tall black stone statue of the 'Knight' with one sword. The moment the sword was sheathed, the stone statue of the Knight made a rumbling sound, its body disintegrated and shattered, and countless rubbles exploded at a terrifying speed. .
"Ron!" Harry and Hermione both exclaimed. They couldn't see Ron on the back of the stone statue, but only heard the scream.
In the darkness, a ray of light suddenly flashed away, and an invisible armor blocked the exploding gravel. But soon, fluorescent lights flashed on the chessboard, and the invisible armor was shattered in one fell swoop.
A bright stream of light dispersed into the air. Ron fell from a height and hit his head on the ground. He was unconscious, but his body had no external injuries.
"Who?!" Hermione was startled and realized immediately that someone had cast the Iron Armor Curse.
Then, she saw a piece of note falling from the air, and it happened to land on Harry's hand.
"What is this?" Harry was stunned for a moment. He saw that there were only a few words written on it:
"Your hands are blessed by your mother Lily Potter. These hands will deal a fatal blow to the enemy in front of the Sorcerer's Stone.
Keep it in mind,
Wait for the opportunity, cover the fearful face of your enemy with your hands, and all crises will collapse.
——From your mother’s best friend. "
