Chapter 632 I Wish You a Pleasant Journey... Pass the Test
One more Rin Tohsaka did not have any impact on the plot, because if you want to pass this level, you have to step on the chessboard and choose a "role" to play. Whether you come with three or four, you don't have to worry about not having enough characters. The 'role' can be selected.
The level of the chess game fully demonstrates Ron Weasley's excellent ability, and he helped Hermione and Harry choose the right "role" to ensure that they can survive-and until the end It was only during the decisive victory that Harry could see Ron's chess moves. From this point of view, the chess skills of the two were not at the same level at all.
Now that there is one more Rin Tohsaka, it still has no effect on Ron, and he still calmly deals with various situations, and gradually gained the upper hand.
"Are we just going to stay here and watch?"
Ethan didn't continue to interrupt the chess game, but stopped his footsteps a little far away, watching Ron's performance quietly.
"What are we going out for? Are we also foolishly standing on the chessboard to act as pawns, and then being commanded by Ron?"
Originally, Malfoy wanted to ask a similar question, but when he heard what Ethan said, he swallowed his own question decisively.
He didn't want to be commanded by that poor Weasley kid as a pawn, and he suspected that if he really became a pawn, he would be thrown to his death by this guy.
What happened next was not much different from the plot. After Ron completed all the 'layouts', he launched the final blow.
It's just that the price of the last blow is that the knight (horse) he plays will be eaten by the queen on the opposite side, giving Harry a chance to win the general.
In this way, they won the game, but what would happen to Ron Weasley who was eaten... At least now Ron thought he would be killed, and he was willing to make such a move under such circumstances choose……
"Should it be said that the ignorant are fearless... or are they too young to die?"
"Does it make a difference?"
Ignoring the complaints in Scathach's eyes, Ethan didn't know what Ron was thinking in his heart, but he was standing here, and it would be a joke if he let a magic item hurt his classmate.
Even if he has no friendship with Ron, but the dignified god can't even deal with a pawn? Let a child be hurt in front of his eyes, is it weak or cold-blooded?
No matter which one it is, it may become the topic of Tohsaka Rin and Skaha, and he is not going to give these two any chance.
When Ron completed his final layout and was waiting for the queen to attack, Ethan just raised his hand slightly to face the queen chess piece in the distance, and then the powerful magic impact hit the huge queen chess piece, knocking The pawn was blasted into dust.
This change stunned the Gryffindors on the chessboard. Harry, Hermione, and Rin Tohsaka all stared blankly at the dark corner behind.
Anyway, they are students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and they are all top students with relatively good grades. From the direction in which the queen was blown into dust, she can tell where the attack came from.
"Could it be discovered by the professors?"
Such a powerful attack, in Harry's mind, must have come from the teachers of the school, definitely not from the students. Even the seniors in the senior grades may not be able to release such a powerful spell.
When Ethan came out of the shadows, Harry's first thought was 'Has Snape been hiding in the dark? But why did he save Ron? '
As the dean of Slytherin, Snape was also the suspect suspected by Harry Potter and the villain who wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone. It seemed that he had no reason to save Harry and others who wanted to stop him.
As for why Ethan got mixed up with Snape, Harry didn't think too much about it. Anyway, Slytherin's place is full of villains!
When Malfoy followed Ethan out, Harry was even more convinced of his judgment.
But after waiting for a long time, except for another unfamiliar girl, there was no sign of Snape at all.
"Ethan?"
"Um."
Apart from Rin Tohsaka, Hermione didn't have as much opinion on the people of Slytherin House as Harry did, but she still couldn't believe that the one who shot just now was a classmate who had only studied magic for a year like herself.
"Why are you here?"
"Why can't we be here? Are you only allowed to wander around during breaks?"
Malfoy started again habitually, this reaction was like instinct, he had finished speaking before he could even react.
"So you are going to inform the professor again, and then be locked up with us?"
Malfoy stopped talking. The last whistleblower was a shame in his life, and he actually involved himself in it. He won't make the same mistake this time.
"How long do you want to continue chatting here? The chess piece is destroyed, I don't know if the professor will be attracted, and no one will need to inform us by then, we will all have to be confined."
This is a magic chess piece, and Ethan doesn't know whether the maker will feel the sensation when the magic structure in the chess piece is completely destroyed - if so, then the professors should realize that the place protecting the magic stone has been invaded .
Harry Potter froze for a moment, what did Ethan mean by this sentence?
"Harry!"
Ron has already jumped off the knight piece, the queen piece has been beaten to pieces, and the whole chess game has been destroyed. This game of chess will definitely not be able to continue. How to pass here is still a problem.
The destruction of the queen's pieces does not mean that they can pass directly. The pieces that were previously captured by one's own side in the chess game are all restored to their original state at this time, and they are blocked on the opposite side again - only the position of the queen that has been beaten into dust is vacant. .
"What should we do now?"
Harry looked across, and then at Ethan and the others. He suddenly wondered if Ethan did this on purpose, just to make it impossible for him and others to pass?
He didn't know what to do. Surprisingly, Hermione and Tohsaka Rin seemed to be very familiar with that Slytherin's Ethan, and Tohsaka Rin asked Ethan directly if there was any way?
Because Ethan was quite low-key this school year, Harry didn't know him very well, but his grades were very good, and that nasty Snape seemed to like him very much-this caused Harry's perception of Ethan to be different. Not good, even if Ethan has never been in contact with him.
"Can you get us there?"
"have."
Ethan's answer was very simple, and he didn't give Harry and Ron a chance to question him at all. He waved his hand lightly, and the huge pile of chess pieces lying in front of him seemed to be blown away by a huge force. It hit the walls on both sides, making a loud and dull sound.
"It's time to pass."
"..."
If Malfoy, Hermione and the others didn't understand how Ethan destroyed the queen's chess piece just now, they now know how powerful Ethan is.
Harry and Ron opened their mouths in shock, staring blankly at the chess pieces that were thrown into the corner like garbage.
"Let's go!"
Regardless of the frightened children, Ethan remembered that he could see Quirrell as he walked forward. This guy is now standing in front of the Mirror of Erised, helpless, and he doesn't know how to get the Philosopher's Stone.
When the group of Ethan and Harry came here, Quirrell was still standing in front of the magic mirror in a daze.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was surrounded by a group of children.
Harry was very shocked at this time, the person in front of him was not Snape; it was Professor Quirrell who stuttered and was very timid.
Because it was different from what he expected, Harry and Quirrell talked a lot, just to make himself understand the situation: such as during the Quidditch match, it was Quirrell who wanted to kill Harry, not Snape, or even Snape. Nep was actually saving Harry.
Ron and Hermione immediately covered their faces. At that time, they thought it was Snape's spell that caused Harry's broomstick to lose control. Hermione ran over and lit a fire on Snape's robe.
Although it was wrong, Snape's robe caught fire and caused a little chaos, which overturned Quirrell sitting behind him, and Harry escaped from the crisis.
But after all, it wasn't Snape who wanted to kill Harry, he was still helping, and it was embarrassing to accidentally injure a friendly army, and Hermione felt very embarrassed in her heart.
By this time, all the truth became clear. Although Scathach didn't understand the whole situation, it didn't prevent her from watching the excitement with relish.
Only Malfoy was stunned, he had no idea what was going on.
It wasn't until Quirrell asked Harry Potter to take out the Philosopher's Stone from the magic mirror that Ethan reached out and stopped the slightly frightened Harry Potter. The two-year-old child did not listen to anyone as he entered the rebellious period a few years later. It is not surprising that he would be frightened when facing Quirrell, who is a school professor.
Ethan didn't know Quirrell, not to mention that Quirrell couldn't scare him, even if Voldemort behind him came out, he didn't think it was a big deal.
"You're just a thief trying to steal something important from the school, we don't need to listen to you."
This sentence also made Harry react. He stopped his steps and stared at Professor Quirrell opposite him.
Because of Ethan's disruption, Voldemort, who was already extremely dissatisfied with Quirrell's efficiency, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He said that he would personally "talk" to Harry and the other children. He believed that he could easily control the situation. Stay with these little brats and ask them to help you take out... the Philosopher's Stone... huh? What is that kid holding in his hand?
Just when Quirrell untied the hood on his head and Voldemort could see the situation of Ethan and the others 'behind' through the mirror, Voldemort was surprised to find that the child named Ethan was looking at him with a stone in his hand.
"The Philosopher's Stone? When?"
