Chapter 430 The Champion And Runner-Up Are Announced

When Harry set off, the game had already been in full swing for seven minutes.

The wizard who sets out later has the advantage that by watching the live broadcast of the warrior who sets out first, he can have a general understanding of the situation inside the maze, so that he will not take the wrong path after entering.

Harry felt that in these seven minutes, he had fully absorbed the experience of Hermione and Fleur and would not make ridiculous mistakes.

For example--you must realize that you are also an ordinary wizard, walking through the maze obediently, and not doing all the bells and whistles.

Of course, what gave him a sense of security was not only his advance understanding of the maze, but also the communication medal in his arms at the moment.

Levin had forced it into his pocket on their way to the Quidditch pitch.

According to Levin, this was an insurance policy for fear of someone attacking him during the second game.

In the event of an accident, he can contact Levin and Dumbledore through the badge, and they can also locate Harry's location through the badge.

Although Harry didn't feel that anyone would pose a threat to him, he still accepted the insurance.

Even if it can't directly help him in the game, the existence of the badge gives him a sense of security.

This good feeling of being in control almost made Harry feel like he was in the underwater game again.

"Don't worry, Levin, I am fully prepared for this game and will not let you down."

Harry said secretly.

So he took out his wand and whispered: "[Luosphorescent Flash]."

Levin behind him was stunned.

What have you not prepared?

Why is it a wrong operation from the very beginning?

Are you lighting this big light bulb because you're afraid the monster won't see you?

Next, Harry's series of operations made him dumbfounded.

He wandered around in the intricate passages like a headless fly, even wandering back and forth on the same road several times, but could never find the correct exit.

Every attempt he made was like a blind man touching an elephant. He had no rules at all, and he didn't know how to make a mark. People couldn't help but sweat for him.

What was even more ridiculous was that Harry actually used the Patronus Charm to repel a dementor turned into a boggart, and felt quite proud of it.

He didn't even think about it, how could there be dementors in this kind of maze?

With Harry's progress, let alone getting third place, there is a question whether he can complete the game within the prescribed time.

Fortunately, there is also Barty Crouch Jr. in the maze. He may be able to help Harry eliminate other threats and ensure that he can get the corresponding ranking.

Little Crouch's luck was indeed good. Krum entered the maze with Estella Dumont, while Polyakov came behind them. Only these three people had a chance to threaten his plan. .

Just as Levin thought, he no longer planned to fight for Harry to win the championship. After all, it was still a bit difficult for him to ensure that Harry won the first place by attacking Hermione and Fleur.

He has long seen the strength of the two girls. In a head-to-head confrontation, even he can't guarantee that they will win (there is an element of bragging) [not to mention that they are attacked under the monitoring of the live broadcast system.

where are they?

In his plan, Harry had to get at least third place.

Therefore, before the unlucky Krum had gone far, he was quietly controlled by Crouch Jr.'s [Imperius Curse] and became his right-hand man in excluding other warriors.

Crouch Jr. played this trick very well, and even the audience who had been watching the live broadcast did not notice Klum's abnormality.

As for how to explain all this afterwards, Crouch Jr. has already thought about it. The responsibility lies entirely on Klum.

Krum comes from Durmstrang Academy, which itself teaches black magic. It is reasonable to say that Krum attacks and uses the Cruciatus Curse on other warriors in order to win the game.

In this way, Krum will probably be sent to Azkaban, but what does this have to do with Crouch Jr.?

Estella walked through the maze alone for about five minutes, when another fork in the road appeared in front of her.

She held the wand flat in the palm of her hand and whispered to it: "[Show me the way]".

The wand spun and stared at the dense hedge to her right.

She knew that was north, and that the center of the maze was in the northwest. The wisest choice is to take the left path and then turn right as quickly as possible.

However, just as she was about to take steps, the sudden movement behind her made her tense up instantly.

She waved her wand reflexively, preparing to deal with possible attacks, but the light of the wand illuminated Krum who emerged from the path on the right. His face was gloomy, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Krum, are there any monsters over there?" Estella tried to ask.

However, before she finished speaking, Krum suddenly roared with a wand in his hand and rushed towards Estella who was five or six meters away.

"[Armor Protection]!"

She reacted quickly and used the [Iron Armor Curse] to protect herself.

She said loudly: "I'm here to participate in the competition, what are you going to do?" She waved her wand and tried to resist.

The audience outside the venue was stunned by this scene and talked a lot.

"They are both tied for fourth place. Why didn't Krum want to find the trophy quickly, but instead attacked Estella?"

"It's not in the rules that you can't attack other warriors."

"But if you want to attack, you have to attack the ones at the front. What threat does Estella pose?

Ah this,

This last question is indeed very sharp, but Estella will definitely not be happy if she hears this.

At the same time, Dumbledore stared at Krum on the screen with a solemn expression, and he also noticed something was wrong.

When Krum missed a hit, instead of stopping, he continued to shoot a [Stunning Curse] straight into Estella's face.

Estella dodged awkwardly, and then tried to fight back.

In the stands, Jaina looked at Harry's approximate location and then at the time, with a trace of determination flashing in her eyes.

She moved slightly forward half a step, approached Fudge who was standing in front of her on the left, lowered her head and said softly: "Minister, I have some urgent matters that need to be dealt with. Please allow me to leave the meeting temporarily.

Although Fudge didn't know what Jaina was going to do, he enjoyed Jaina's respectful attitude towards asking him for instructions when things happened. So, he nodded in agreement, and Jaina turned around and left gracefully.

At this time, the competition has entered a white-hot stage.

Hermione passed all levels and finally reached the deepest part of the maze.

She could already see the trophy shining alluringly on the pedestal a hundred meters away.

However, between Hermione and the trophy, there was a garden shrub pruned into the shape of an elephant.

The trimmer's skills are exquisite, and the elephant's limbs, tusks and even the wrinkles on the body are all lifelike, which is breathtaking.

This is undoubtedly a garden decoration with great ornamental value.

However, in this maze, its appearance seems extremely abrupt.

Hermione knew immediately that this elephant was anything but ordinary.

Sure enough, as soon as she took a step, the bush seemed to be injected with life and came to life instantly.

It raised its proboscis and let out a deafening roar before thundering towards Hermione. The ivory tusks made from two pruned branches stood in front. They looked extremely sharp and shone with cold light, as if they could easily penetrate the human body.

Hermione recognized it immediately as Levin's work.

After all, Levin has several similar reanimated garden shrubs in his garden.

She has fought against these vivid plants many times, but she knows how to deal with them.

Facing the approaching giant elephant, Hermione seemed to be frozen by magic. She stood there blankly and kept chanting spells.

The audience's hearts were in their throats, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Finally, at the critical moment, Hermione became a demon and prepared:

""||【Fire Wall Technique】!"

A fire suddenly rose in front of Hermione. The blazing flames were four to five meters high, like a high wall firmly blocking the garden elephant.

The elephant was frightened out of his wits by the sudden flames [and wanted to stop but it was too late.

Although it has the power of an elephant after activation, it also inherits the elephant's clumsiness.

The activated shrub was caught off guard and was completely thrown into the Fire Wall Technique, and was immediately ignited like a normal plant. No matter how hard it struggled, it was of no avail.

Some people in the audience have already started cheering.

Hermione walked lightly around the burnt activated garden shrubs and walked gracefully towards the trophy.

Since she had learned the news from Levin in advance, Hermione did not act rashly when faced with the trophy and championship medal that shone alluringly. (promised)

She carefully cast a series of identification magic,

After making sure there were no curses, a spell for detecting door keys was cast on them.

"Sure enough, just as Levin guessed, the first and second medals are not door keys."

Hermione came to a conclusion, so she put on the championship medal.

However, she was not in a hurry to leave the maze, but chose to wait where she was.

The moment she put on the medal, the cheers in the audience were deafening, and the little wizards at Hogwarts jumped up from their seats, cheering and celebrating.

"The winner of our competition has been chosen, and he is from Hogwarts - Hermione Granger!" Bagman cheered happily, looking as if he was even happier than the Yin Kingdom winning the Quidditch World Cup. .

After a while, Furong ran over amidst huge cheers from the outside.

Furong looked very relaxed, and there were no traces of battle on her body. All her troubles were solved by her three "apprentices".

"Fleur, are you okay?" Hermione asked with concern.

"Congratulations Hermione, I heard the cheers." Fleur said to Hermione sincerely, "The champion belongs to Hogwarts.

"The runner-up belongs to Beauxbatons." Hermione complimented in return, and the two looked at each other and smiled, celebrating this moment of victory together. .
