Chapter 342 The Labyrinth

When it was time for dinner, Ryan and Harry returned to the Great Hall. Ludo Bagman and Cornelius Fudge sat at the staff table. Bagman looked very happy, but Cornelius Fudge, who was sitting next to Madame Maxime, had a sullen face and said nothing.

Because of the previous Crouch accident, the judge for the last game was replaced by the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge. It's just that his relationship with Dumbledore has reached an impasse because of recent events, and Ryan can see that although the two of them are sitting side by side, they only talk to other people.

Dinner was bigger than usual, and both Ryan and Harry ate quite a bit. When the enchanted ceiling turned from blue to dark purple twilight, Dumbledore stood up at the staff table, and the crowd fell silent.

Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes, I will invite you all to the Quidditch pitch for the final event of the Triwizard Tournament. Now invite the warriors and Mr. Bagman to the field.

Ryan and Harry rose to their feet, the Gryffindor students applauded for them, and the Weasleys and Hermione wished them both good luck. Six players from three schools walked out of the auditorium with applause.

In the middle, Bagman also pulled Harry and said a few words, but now it seems that the possibility of his gambling making money is not high.

They walked into the Quidditch pitch, which had become completely unrecognizable. A twenty-foot high hedge surrounded the edge of the field. There was a gap in front of them, and that was the entrance to this big labyrinth. The passage inside is dark and a little scary.

Five minutes later, people began to enter the stands. Hundreds of students filed into their seats, and the air was filled with excited voices and cluttered footsteps. The sky is now a clear dark blue and the stars are starting to appear. Hagrid, Professor Moody, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick entered the field and walked towards Bagman and the warriors. Their hats were all emblazoned with big red stars, except Hagrid, whose red star was on the back of his terry vest.

We will patrol the outside of the maze, Professor McGonagall said to the warriors. If you encounter difficulties and want to be rescued, shoot red sparks into the sky, and we will have someone to help you. Do you understand?

The warriors nodded together.

Okay, let's go! Bagman said happily to the four patrol members.

The six people walked away in different directions and scattered around the maze. Then Bagman pointed his wand to his throat and said loud, and his magically amplified voice echoed in the stands.

Ladies and gentlemen, the last game of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin! Let me tell you the order of appearances, according to their previous points. The order of entering the field is Harry Potter, Ryan Liang, Fleur De Lacourt, Wicker Dokrum, Diane Dupont, Gustav Anderson.

Now...Harry, listen to my whistle! Bagman said. Three two

With a short whistle, Harry hurried into the maze. Five minutes later, a second whistle sounded. Ryan also plunged headlong into the maze.

The tall hedges cast jet-black shadows on the trails, whether it was because the hedges were tall and dense, or because of the magic, as soon as Ryan entered the labyrinth, the audience's voice was lost.

Ryan drew a few runes in the air with his wand-lifting hand and injected magic. Soon, a golden symbol like an eye floated above Ryan's head and radiated infrared light around. At the same time, Ryan also activated the eagle eye in his left eye, and looked at everything in the surrounding darkness through the reflection of infrared light by surrounding objects.

This spell is a trick analyzed by combining alchemy after studying fluorescent flickering.

The principle is equivalent to the first generation of active infrared night vision devices. When walking in the dark, it is at least more hidden than the fluorescent flashing road. It is a work that combines the research results of magic and Muggle technology.

We don't know what kind of magic Ryan used, but it's clear he can see everything in the dark now, Bagman explained. Before starting, each player was placed with special surveillance magic, and at the same time, a huge light screen was formed on the periphery of the competition venue facing the audience, allowing the audience to see what the players were doing.

This is a lesson learned from the previous game. In the previous game, because this aspect was not thought of, everyone could only stare at the lake and forest in the cold wind. Therefore, in this game, the organizers adopted screen and tracking shooting methods to make up for the previous deficiencies.

The next step was to identify the way, and Ryan held the wand flat in the palm of his hand and whispered to it Show me the way. The wand pointed one end north. Ryan knew that the end point was his southeast, so he turned right in the general direction.

As soon as he turned to the right passage, Lane saw a group of Cornish elves chatting in the road. These little guys are not very destructive but extremely annoying. Seeing them, Ryan pointed his wand at a piece of the hedge and said, Growth fast.

Soon the long branches formed a large net, and Ryan directed the large net to jump out of the hedge and cover most of the Cornish elf in it. He then turned the large net into a cage that completely trapped the Cornish elves on the road.

In this way, the remaining few fish that slipped through the net also fled in fear, and Ryan passed the road smoothly. At the same time, the sixth whistle sounded, indicating that all the players had entered the maze.

After using the stun spell to clear the two red hats blocking the way, Ryan heard what seemed to be a battle in front of him. He walked to the corner against the hedge, and then quietly made a reflective mirror on the other side of the road. Looking in the mirror, he saw two men attacking each other with spells on the road.

From the clothes and hair color, it can be seen that the silver-haired girl is Fleur of Beauxbatons, and the other is Gustav of Durmstrang. After watching it for a while, Ryan found that there was still a big difference between the alternate candidates and the authentic ones. Gustav was completely suppressed by Fleur at this time, especially Fleur also mastered some kind of mind control spell, which caused Gustav to experience delays or confusion from time to time during the battle.

Although the time for each problem is short and can be corrected quickly, these problems are enough to make Gustav lose all resistance in a short period of time when the strength is not comprehensive.

After an obstacle spell from Fleur, Gustav was once again sluggish. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fleur seized the opportunity to release a Soft Leg Charm, hitting him in the leg just from where he had no time to defend. In an instant Gustav fell to his knees.

This change also made Gustav flustered, and Furong took advantage of the situation and launched control again. Under the chaos, Gustav was directly attacked and stood there dumbfounded.

Pata. After receiving a stun spell from Fleur with his face, Gustav fell to the ground and was out in honor. Fleur gave him a red spark by the way to prevent him from being eaten by the monsters in the maze.

At this moment, a red light shot out from the other direction, and a flame shield popped up on Furong to block the blow.

Krum. Ryan recognized the person walking from a distance this time. He should have wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack just now, but he didn't expect that Furong used a trigger-type protective spell to block this determined blow.

But judging from Furong's face, this protection method should not be easy to come up with, and it can even be said that this is her trump card.

Hurry up and fight. Ryan thought to himself, but at this time Krum suddenly turned his head to look at the small mirror that Ryan had conjured.
