·
Jing Shen Tian Si
June 24, [-]:[-] pm.
The teachers and students of Hogwarts, representatives of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, the families of the warriors, and the referees all sat in the auditorium of the remodeled Quidditch pitch.
Professor Flitwick used his wand to direct the band to play passionate music, and the girls from Beauxbatons also sang cheerful songs. The whole venue was extremely lively.
Amos Diggory jumped into the stadium like a child, and excitedly opened his right arm to welcome his son into the field, and Cedric was a little embarrassed.
Karkaroff and Maxim each took Krum and Fleur into the stadium, Jins walked respectfully behind Aaron, Harry was the last one, and beside him were Dumbledore and Lupine.
Twenty-foot hedges surrounded the field, and several identical entrances were displayed in front of everyone. The dark passage was mixed with a trace of mist, and the neighing and roaring of wild animals could be faintly heard.
"Be quiet." Dumbledore stood on the podium and said with amplifying spells, "Professor Moody hid the trophy of the Tournament in the maze this morning, whoever finds the trophy first will be the champion of the Triwizard Tournament.
The order of entering the maze is determined by the sum of the scores of the first two items, followed by Aaron Gaius, Harry Potter, Viktor Krum, Cedric Diggory, Fleur De Racourt.
We have people patrolling the perimeter, and if a player wants to quit the game, that player just needs to shoot a red spark from their wand. "
"I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to fire sparks." Aaron said abruptly.
"They may not be able to, but the young master certainly can." The old god Jins said.
He is full of confidence in Aaron. The countless extreme escapes in the family secret room almost made Aaron train an instinct. No matter how dangerous this maze is, it will not even send out a distress signal.
"It's okay or not, I don't want to quit the game."
"Players, come here now, please hurry up."
The five warriors immediately approached Dumbledore. He lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "There will be no dragons in the maze, and there will be no deep-water monsters, but then you will face even greater challenges. Certain things will happen when you enter the maze. The change..."
"Wait." Aaron interrupted him, and said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Professor, you said that the change is... Can this maze still move?"
Dumbledore nodded, "This is Miss Klein's suggestion, she said that her younger brother has a good memory, and he can know the most correct and simplest path just by walking it once.
For the sake of fairness, she specially applied magic to the maze, except for the place where the trophy is stored in the middle, the other positions will change from time to time. "
Aaron was dumbfounded, and the other four warriors also looked at each other, looking at him with a hint of sympathy besides surprise.
They didn't expect Aaron to have this kind of memory, and they didn't expect Adrian to be so slippery, forcibly blocking his brother's shortcut.
"Do your best to find the trophy, but be careful, you may lose yourself along the way.
Aaron was the first to go in after the cannon fired, and the others notified with a whistle. Dumbledore said, then turned and walked towards the referee's seat.
"Aaron, your sister is really..." Cedric thought for a while but couldn't think of any adjectives, so he gave a thumbs up in a daze.
"Hehe!" The corner of Aaron's mouth turned bitter, and the brilliance in his eyes lost half.
To be honest, he was mentally prepared, Adrian would definitely set up obstacles for him in the maze, but it didn't matter, he had memorized the route in advance, no matter how hard the obstacles were, he just passed them.
As long as he was the first to find the trophy, he would win more than half of it, but he never expected that the first step would be so difficult.
If the maze can move, the combined advantages of the first two items only allow him to take a few detours less than others.
"How about we cooperate?" Fu Rong showed a charming smile, "In short, you also want to be the last to touch the trophy, why don't you help me win the championship?
At that time, half of the bonus will be shared with you, so there is a sense of participation. "
The pupils of the other three shrank slightly, and they cried out in their hearts.
If it's not that girls have delicate minds, why didn't they think of this idea?
Moving the maze, and various dangerous animals, the difficulty of the third project is self-evident, and it is self-evident to have a god teammate in this case.
"Gaius." Cedric coughed a little embarrassedly, "I think it is necessary to remind you that you are a Hogwarts warrior.
Hufflepuffs and Slytherins aren't exactly on good terms, but they're not bad either, are they? "
Just as Harry was about to say something, he met Aaron's piercing gaze and couldn't help swallowing.
"Don't get me wrong, the championship is not important, but in terms of safety, I think we should cooperate."
Although there are Moody, Lupine, and Dumbledore guarding the maze, he still has some doubts about the third event. Who knows what the secret Death Eaters will use to deal with him.
If Aaron is willing to help him, then the safety aspect is foolproof.
If he is lucky, he may not be able to compete for the championship, the youngest champion of the Triwizard Tournament, just thinking about it makes him excited.
"That...I don't want all the bonuses." Krum said a little cautiously, "I still..."
"Brother, it's better not to open your mouth! We don't know each other very well."
"I also saved Luna Lovegood, in the second event," Krum emphasized.
Aaron pursed his lips, took a deep breath and said, "Understood, I will pay back the favor, but it's fine if you help you win the championship."
"Can't you?" Krum frowned slightly.
"I figured out a way, the last one to touch the trophy is also the champion.
It's just that the process is a lot more exciting, and it may be so exciting that I doubt life. "
boom!
Cannons sounded.
Adrian pressed his wand against his neck, "Now invite our first warrior to enter.
By the way, a friendly reminder, in order to increase the fun of the game, I placed many different kinds of treasure boxes in the maze.
The treasure chest will provide help for the warriors to reach the center of the maze, but getting the clues depends on the luck and ability of the warriors.
Without further ado, I wish you all the best of luck. "
Aaron froze for a moment, and walked into the entrance of the maze amid the applause and cheers of the audience.
Adrian smiled slightly, pointed his wand high into the sky, and five projections appeared outside the maze, so that all the audience could enjoy the performance of the warriors.
But now the game has just started, and among the five projections, only the one belonging to Aaron is lit, and the rest are pitch black.
The moment Aaron stepped into the maze, the sound of the outside world was cut off, and he could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat.
Following the correct route in his mind, he took a deep breath and started running fast.
But within half a minute, the hedges on both sides began to squeeze in the middle, forcing him to change his route and turn into an unknown fork.
Here he saw a wooden treasure chest and paths to the left and right.
"Open, or not open."
Aaron was caught in a tangle for a while, and other warriors outside the field also watched this scene curiously.
Adrian said that the treasure chest will provide help, but there is no free lunch in the world, and the things opened in this treasure chest are of great reference value to them.
Just then the whistle sounded suddenly.
"Enter Harry Potter," Ludo Bagman said loudly.
"what?"
Harry froze for a moment, looking at Aaron's projection screen with a complicated expression, "Can I go in later?"
"This..." Bagman hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the other referees, as if asking for their opinions.
"Yes, but not beyond the final whistle." Adrian said indifferently.
"Thank you."
"I suddenly feel that there is nothing wrong with ranking low." Fu Rong laughed.
"I think so."
Cedric nodded and said, through these projection screens, those who enter the maze later will know more clues, and they will not be in a hurry to deal with danger.
Aaron heard the whistle and finally made up his mind.
He couldn't wait any longer, the opportunity was his only advantage, and he couldn't be held back by a box.
"Araho Cave is open!"
Aaron stood ten meters away, and an unlocking spell hit the wooden treasure chest, and the wooden treasure chest opened.
A weird cry came from the box, and then a wet paw stretched out, and the extremely disgusting black-robed monster flew in mid-air.
"Gift crab!"
Aaron yelled and cursed, and a large number of spectators outside the court couldn't help but panic.
It was a dementor, a real dementor, and the hedge was covered with white frost the instant it appeared.
Harry was dumbfounded, but soon relieved.
He knows the Patronus Charm, and a dementor can still handle it. It would be easier for him if every treasure chest contained a dementor.
"Ahem!" Fudge stood up, and explained with amplifying spells: "Don't worry, everyone, the dementors will not go out of the maze, and they will return to Azkaban after the Triwizard Tournament."
"I hope there will be no accidents." Lupine said with some concern.
"No." Moody said relaxedly, the few spells Harry has learned so far are enough for him, and Gaius is also in it.
Lupine nodded. He also taught Harry the Patronus Charm, but he was always a little uneasy.
"Call God's Guardian!" Aaron chanted the Patronus Charm, and the silver-white light repelled the dementors to another aisle.
He walked to the treasure chest, which contained a map of the maze, marking the location of him and the Triwizard Tournament trophy, and he had only walked less than a tenth of the way.
In addition, there is a line of words below the map: The maze will move again within 30 seconds, please hurry up.
Thirty, 29, 28...
The change in the numbers made Aaron's pupils tremble. He spent 15 seconds analyzing the correct route close to the center position, and ran fast in the remaining 15 seconds.
The teachers and students of Hogwarts, representatives of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, the families of the warriors, and the referees all sat in the auditorium of the remodeled Quidditch pitch.
Professor Flitwick used his wand to direct the band to play passionate music, and the girls from Beauxbatons also sang cheerful songs. The whole venue was extremely lively.
