Chapter 273 The End of the Maze

"She——" Xie Lin suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is she?"

"Hahaha, you really care about her... Let me tell you, there is someone else who took her away. The defense mechanism of Hogwarts is no joke. I don't have the ability to do it under Dumbledore's nose. Get her out of the castle... So, don't try to find out her whereabouts from me. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to find out from me——"

"You must be in pain now, right? You have only one way to choose now -" Little Barty's tone was full of cruel pleasure, "The adult in the organization, she wants to see you. As long as you take me Let's go see her together, maybe you can find out her whereabouts?"

Voldemort has not yet returned to the strength of his heyday, and there is only one person who can quietly abduct Hermione in Hogwarts Castle——

It's Mei...

Xie Lin's heart ached, and the long-lost strong uneasiness hovered in his heart again.

May had captured Hermione...what was she trying to do?

The most terrifying thing is, if she really wants to harm Hermione, what should she do...

Do I really want to fight Mei...

"Tell me!" Xie Lin said solemnly: "How to leave here? How to see Mei?"

"Did you see that trophy? It was a portkey. It was intended to teleport the first warrior who touched the Goblet of Fire out of the maze and appear in front of the referee's seat. However, I used a confusion spell to change the teleportation location to that adult. "The location of the Goblet of Fire -" Little Barty pointed in the direction of the Goblet of Fire, "You take me with you now, and we can touch the Goblet of Fire together, and then we can go see the adult."

"Thank you, I understand," Xie Lin had calmed down at this moment, and he had to face what was coming, "and -"

"Goodbye, Barty Crouch Jr."

"What do you want to do?!" Little Barty's face turned pale, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart, "Don't even think about messing around. Don't you want Granger's life?"

"Avada——"

"Asshole!" Little Barty shouted loudly: "You madman! You will definitely regret it!"

"——Eat the big melon!" A green light shot out from Xie Lin's wand, mercilessly harvesting little Barty's life, leaving only little Barty's lifeless body slowly falling backwards to the ground.

"Fool..." Xie Lin sneered, "Since you don't know anything, what's the use of saving your life? Since Mei's target is me, is it possible that she can directly turn against me for you? I'm so sorry I think highly of you, don’t you see at all——"

"You are just an abandoned child with them..."

The moment Little Barty died, the four shadow monsters who smelled the corpse smell couldn't hold back. They rushed to Little Barty's body, slowly wrapped the body in black shadow, and started eating.

Xie Lin waved his hand, and the Slytherin pendant flew out of his arms and opened it. As a green shadow rushed out of the box, it materialized in mid-air. The whole process was very fast, and the shadow fell from the air to the ground. At the same time, it had transformed into the giant-sized Jörmungandr.

The black shadows reacted quickly and wanted to flee the scene, but under Jörmungandr's glare, they all seemed to be frozen and unable to move.

The snake pupil of the basilisk has the ability to harm the spirit body, and Jörmungandr has already developed his sanity after the battle with the purple flame giant in Susan's bloodline, and has restored all the natural abilities of the basilisk. It is even possible that because of It swallowed the bones of the purple flame giant and the flesh and blood of Xie Lin, and evolved into something more powerful than an ordinary basilisk.

Although the shadow demon is much more weird and unpredictable than the ghost, it still cannot escape the category of a spirit body. At this moment, it was invaded by the curse power on the snake's eyes, and it was suddenly transformed into four stiff bodies that were covered in smoke and seemed to be fixed by an invisible container. gas.

Although the method of making shadow demons is not a unique secret, it is only spread among a few big families with ancient heritage, and it is not something that can be seen everywhere. Schelling put them all into the suitcase space. These shadow demons were valuable for his research.

Xie Lin looked at the bitten and tattered body of Little Barty and frowned slightly. He waved his wand, "Disappear!" and used a disappearing spell to eliminate Little Barty's body.

As for the evidence to be shown to Mr. Crouch, the people killed by the Death Curse can be traced through specific flashback spells. There is no need to cut off the head or leave the corpse. Disgusting behavior.

"Go back, Jörmungandr," Schelling touched the huge snake body of Jörmungandr lovingly, and comforted the big snake that was hissing in protest. Jörmungandr finally came out to loosen his muscles and bones, but failed. Thinking that it had only been a minute and it would be taken back again——

If I had known better, I would not have dealt with those shadow monsters so quickly. I should have played with them for a while longer.

Jörmungandr gently tapped Schelling on the shoulder with its snake tail, expressed its dissatisfaction, and then turned into a green light again and flew back to the pendant box.

After cleaning up the shadow demon, Little Barty's corpse, and Jormungandr, the scene returned to calm again. Xie Lin raised his head, squinting slightly and looking at the sparkling Goblet of Fire not far ahead.

His eyes turned cold, and then he gently touched the snake-shaped ring on the ring finger of his right hand with the palm of his left hand.

The snake-shaped ring flashed and flashed, as if it was conveying some message.

"Is everything ready?" The corners of Xie Lin's mouth raised slightly. At this time, his eyes were indifferent, without any fluctuation, "I am counting on you in this store, don't let me down -"

"Salph."

Xie Lin carefully checked his equipment.

Pure silver dagger, supreme wizard robe, night star cloak, dueling gloves, anti-stun bracelet, crown of wisdom, Slytherin pendant, wind-fixing boots, ring of guardianship, and philosopher's stone, all have been equipped and worn. , everyone got into position, and then Xie Lin used magic power to activate each item to its strongest state, and streams of magic power glowed one after another around Xie Lin.

Xie Lin took a step forward and strode to the center of the field.

His gray eyes, which were so clear that no trace of impurity could be seen, were fixedly staring into the Goblet of Fire. Those blue sparks were rolling around, rising and falling, and they were silent for a long time.

Thousands of thoughts passed before his eyes one by one, surrounding him like fleeting shadows——

There are Lucius, Narcissa, Draco, Daphne, Murray, Astoria, Luna...

There are also other friends who have made good friends with him, members of the Sleeping Dragon Club who absolutely trust him...

Then……

The picture of memory becomes...

It's Meredith's pretense of arrogance, her sweet smile... and...

Hermione's sad and crying face on the eve of the Yule Ball...

He sighed silently, raised his head, showed a smile, and said softly: "Hermione, May——"

"I am coming……"

His hand touched the Goblet of Fire, and his feet immediately left the ground. He and the trophy suddenly turned into a swirling vortex of color, quickly disappearing in the howling wind.

The base where the Goblet of Fire was placed is now empty, as if Schelling and the goblet had never been there.
