The green flames on the ground were blazing and swaying gently with the night wind, illuminating the whole place in a miserable green, making it look a little strange.

The magic flame is connected to the temporary Floo network, and it is set to continuously jump and connect in the line network, transporting everyone who steps into it to different underground floors.

It is said that there are a full 500 floors separated under this, and only one of them contains the magic items that serve as the trophy of this Triwizard Tournament. puzzles and dangers, and carefully search for the most correct clues.

Lockhart, who was disguised as Maca, was the first to step into the magic flame. This was thanks to Maca's excellent performance in the second project, which opened up a good situation for him.

"...Is this the level that the students came up with?"

Walking into the green magic flame, with a moment of darkness in front of him, Lockhart found himself transported into a cylindrical room with a diameter of 100 feet and a height of nearly 10 feet.

When Bagman introduced it, he said that all the levels this time were proposed by students and professors. If anyone wants to encounter simpler levels, it depends on whether the face is white enough.

Just like Lockhart, he found out as soon as he came in that this layer was definitely a professor's plan!

The reason why he came to such a judgment is entirely because no student would want to come up with such a simple, rough and deeply boring question!

In the center of the huge room, there is a desk with only a piece of parchment on it. And on that piece of paper, there is such a question written:

"In 1289, a special group composed of Sardinian wizards participated in the International Wizarding Conference that year and submitted an important proposal to advocate the division and management of wizarding forces."

"Excuse me: In what month was the annual International Wizarding Conference held?"

Needless to say, even Lockhart could guess that this level must be the subject of Professor Binns who is in charge of Hogwarts History of Magic class!

Who else would come up with a level like that except for that ghostly professor with a boring lecture?

And on the wall opposite the parchment desk, three magic flames are constantly beating, and three different numbers "August", "September" and "October" are engraved on the wall behind them .

"International Conference of Wizards?" Lockhart sighed bitterly. "Merlin's fingernails! Am I taking a History of Magic exam?"

If Maca really came to participate, he would definitely choose "September" as the answer without hesitation, who has always loved listening to history of magic classes.

Back then, it was precisely because the proposal submitted by the Sardinian Wizards Group was too involved that the organizer deliberately moved the meeting one month earlier to ensure that there was enough time to collect opinions from all sides during the meeting.

"...I remember that every International Wizarding Conference should be held in October, right?"

While muttering, Lockhart walked uncertainly towards the pile of magic flames on his right, and after hesitating for a moment, he raised his leg and walked in.

With a soft "bang", he was one step further away from the correct floor...

At this moment, Harry, who was in second place, had also entered his first level.

Unlike Lockhart, the first level Harry encountered was a rather interesting "little game".

In the American magic world, there is a popular sport that was born out of Quidditch, but has a charm comparable to that of Quidditch, called "ghost blast".

In the sport of ghost air blast, each side has eleven athletes.

Teammates pass the Quaffle, an ordinary ball similar to the Quaffle, to each other, and they try to throw it into a "little cauldron" at the top of the field before it explodes.

Any player with a Quadrilateral,

If the ball explodes in his hands, he must be out of the game.

Once the Quaker is safely dropped into the small cauldron containing the Quaker's anti-blast potion, the team that makes the shot is awarded a point and a new Quaker is brought onto the field.

And now, in the room on the floor where Harry was, there were ghost balls that could explode!

They are constantly drifting back and forth along a fixed trajectory. While not interfering with each other, their drifting routes are intertwined, making people dazzled.

If Harry wanted to pass this level and continue to move towards the target floor, he had to pass through the gap between these ghost balls and reach the green flame on the opposite side of the room.

It is conceivable that if you encounter those ghost balls, all the trajectories will be more complicated. Not to mention, their explosion countdown will also be forced to start due to human contact.

Once a ball explodes, it will inevitably cause a chain explosion of ghost empty balls in the whole room.

Even though the explosion of the ghost balls is not very powerful, there are indeed a lot of ghost balls here. If there was a mass explosion, Harry would most likely be knocked unconscious!

"Oh"

He raised his hands and feet nervously, sometimes bent down, sometimes turned sideways, and walked carefully through the gaps between the large number of ghost balls.

I don’t know who came up with this kind of “dodgeball” mini-game. It’s really exciting, but it also tests the abilities of the passers-by.

At this moment, Harry was landing on one foot, like an eagle spreading its wings, and slightly raised his upper body to avoid the next ghost ball.

To say that Harry's physical coordination ability is still very good, and his usual Quidditch practice also makes his reaction faster. While sweating profusely from making various strange movements, he had already reached the center of the room.

But it has to be said that when Harry faces a head-on challenge, he usually breaks through the level with enthusiasm and without thinking.

It stands to reason that the trick to pass this level is to walk close to the curved wall, which allows the level breaker to avoid the ball in front of him without worrying about ghost balls floating from behind.

However, Harry has always been the ultimate rough guy who is gentle on the outside, but brave to face the bleak life in his heart.

"……Oh no!"

After walking more than half of the distance, Harry, who was pouting his buttocks and shrinking his neck to avoid the chain attack of three ghouls, was rubbed against the tip of his buttocks by another ghoul without paying attention.

There is not much distance left, the most important thing he should do at this moment is to forcibly rush towards the magic flame!

But Harry obviously hadn't turned the corner yet, he was taken aback for a moment, after finding that the trajectory of the ball hadn't changed too much, he still dawdled to avoid the other two balls.

When he just figured out what he should do, and ran towards the magic flame, an explosion suddenly sounded from behind him.

Then, a thrust slammed into Harry's back, sending him straight into the flames.

"Aww"

Amidst a screaming sound, the magic flame burst up suddenly, and Harry was teleported to the next floor.

...

Theoretically speaking, even if the probability is very small, there is a possibility of two or more warriors breaking into a certain floor at the same time. But no one thought that this possibility would come so quickly.

The difference between Hermione and Fleur was only 2 points. They stepped into the magic flame one after the other and were randomly teleported, but the next moment they found that there was actually another person beside them.

"Miss Granger?"

"Mademoiselle Delacour?"

Facts tell us that when two girls with high self-esteem collide, they can always collide with a series of very bright sparks.

"...We are probably teleported to the same floor." Hermione glanced at Furong, and said reluctantly, "I think, if the route connecting the magic flames on each floor is fixed, then we are likely to be transported to the same floor." together all the time..."

Fleur stroked her hair gracefully and said, "Miss Granger, you can follow me, and I will lead you to the right route."

"No, no need." Hermione pursed her lips, turned and walked forward.

On this floor, the enchanted glass is divided into nine areas arranged in a well shape, and the magic flame is constantly burning in the middle area.

Hermione and Fleur were standing at the starting point. After observing them, they found that they had to make a large circle and pass through the eight outer areas before they could successfully reach the location of the green flame.

And on the wall of this compartment as the starting point, an ordinary oil painting is hanging; on the other side of the compartment, there is a gray rough stone door.

Beside the closed stone gate, several small square stone slabs were scattered on the ground, which looked obviously suspicious.

"The magical creature in this painting is... acromantula?" Fu Rong looked up at the oil painting, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Girls are always a little afraid of spiders with hands and feet.

"It's an oil painting of acromantula predation, to be precise," Hermione added.

After finishing speaking, she walked straight towards Shimen.

Hermione was right, there were four acromantula painted on top of this dark oil painting. They gather together in the forest, huddled with each other, and cooperate to hunt a horned camel that strayed into the woods.

At the side, there were three salamanders rushing past, rushing towards a bonfire not far away. One of the acromantulas seemed to be interested in them and tried to catch up.

In one corner of the painting, a bulging cobweb bag is hanging from the trunk of a tree.

"... Each of these stone slabs has a rune character." When Fleur was still pondering over the oil painting, Hermione suddenly said, "Besides, there is a row of grooves on the door."

"Oh, these are all numbers." Furong turned her head and glanced, then nodded and said, "It's obvious, the designer must be a warrior who wants to break through the barrier and find the code to open the stone gate in this oil painting, isn't it? "

Hermione also turned her gaze back to the oil painting. She just pondered for a while, then took out one of the slates engraved with runic numerals and symbols, and she thought of the answer very quickly.

"Wait!" Fu Rong yelled hastily, "I don't think it's the one you guessed wrong!"
