Chapter 182 The Queen’s Chess Game

Without continuing to worry about what was waiting for them ahead, the three of them continued walking along the stone corridor. This was the only way to go. The corridor went downhill, and Ada thought they might be underground at Hogwarts now.

I just don’t know whether it’s deeper here or the room in the secret passage on the fifth floor.

At the end of the corridor is a brightly lit room, with countless "little birds" that are as dazzling as gems, fluttering their wings and flying around the room.

There is a heavy wooden door on the opposite side of the room. Obviously these "little birds" flying around are the key to passing the level, because they are enchanted keys.

"That was Professor Sprout just now, who is this?" Fred asked, "Could it be Ms. Hooch?"

"I'm more inclined to be Professor Flitwick." Ada reached out and took the broomsticks that George handed her. These broomsticks were placed in obvious positions for fear that intruders would not be able to see them.

Looking at the keys flying around, Ada felt a little numb. She first used a deceleration spell to slow down the high-speed flying keys, and then tried to use a freezing spell to immobilize the keys.

The superposition of the two spells makes the keys fly more like floating. Although it does not completely freeze, it is enough. The twins got on their broomsticks and quickly found the key to the door.

After Fred and George got off the broomstick, they kept their heads down and said nothing, showing no joy at all in successfully passing the test.

"Did you find it too?" Ada asked.

"It's so simple. It's so simple that even a first-year student can pass it." George said in disbelief. It didn't take them long to get here. The longest one was the stone corridor.

Although they have been teasing Quirrell for being useless, if Quirrell doesn't have any real ability, how dare he try to take advantage of the Philosopher's Stone? The three levels I just passed didn't look like I could guard against him.

The second room was originally dark, but when the three people walked in, the torches in the room suddenly burned and illuminated the entire room.

This is a huge chessboard, with towering chess pieces blocking the path of the three of them. They can only pass through this place if they win this wizard chess game.

"Even if we are only separated for a short time, I miss my brother Ron very much." Looking at these chess pieces, Fred said sincerely.

"Ada, it's up to you. Don't you always claim to be the queen on the chessboard? Show it off!" George said. The two brothers were not very good at wizard chess either.

"Wait here." Ada said a word, and then walked to the queen's position. The chess queen also withdrew from the chessboard and gave up her position to Ada.

When Ada stood still in the position of the black queen, the soldiers in front of the white queen moved forward two spaces, and Ada ordered the black soldiers in front of her to also move forward two spaces.

In the next step, the soldiers flanking the white queen moved forward two squares like its compatriots, deliberately giving them to Ada to eat.

This is a common opening, called the Queen's Gambit. By discarding the pawns flanking the queen, you can exchange for a position in the middle of the chessboard. At the same time, you can liberate the hadrons on the chessboard and gain an advantage in the situation.

When playing wizard chess with Ron, Ada liked to use this kind of opening, and then she was educated in various ways by Ron.

If White had made a different opening, Ada might not be too sure, but White chose to abandon the queen, so she could only say sorry. Ada had seen this wizard chess game before.

Ada ate the pieces sent by the opponent and accepted the opening of the opponent's queen flank. The soldier in front of Ada moved from the d5 position on the chessboard to the c4 position, and the black soldier fiercely knocked the white chess onto the floor.

When the white queen was running rampant on the chessboard, Ada, the black queen, only moved one square, from the original position of d8 to d7, standing in the middle of a row of black soldiers.

The white queen captured the black pawn at b7, and there was only another black pawn between her and Ada. Although the white queen had no facial features, her ruthlessness in knocking over the chess pieces was still shocking. Ada could I don't want to be hit by it.

The twins standing behind the black chess piece also gave Ada a sweat. George said: "If it doesn't work, let's run away. We are here to play anyway, there is no need to suffer such a blow."

Ada waved her hand behind her, telling the two brothers not to worry about herself.

The chess game continues, and the white pieces are killing everyone. After losing 3 soldiers and a bishop in a row, Ada hid her king in the corner of the chessboard through castling of the king's rook, so that it could be protected from the threat of the white chess pieces.

After losing the black castle (car) that forced the White Queen back, Ada finally got her chance to become a general. She walked from position f7 on the chessboard to g6, on the same straight line as the white king.

The white king hid from g1 to the position of f1. It was on the same horizontal line as his castle, blocking Ada's pursuit route. Ada moved diagonally forward of herself and stood at the h5 position. There was only a white soldier between her and the white king.

The white chess piece was forced to fight back desperately. First, it used a bishop to eat Ada's soldiers to form a general, and then used another bishop to eat Ada's knights.

But these were in vain, Ada's king was well protected, and the general failed to checkmate Ada's black piece twice.

There are still three soldiers, a castle and a bishop on the black side where Ada is now. As for the white side, in addition to the queen, both castles and the bishop are alive, there is also a knight alive, and there is even one more soldier than Ada.

It was Ada's turn again. She knocked down the white soldier in front of her with her wand, stood at the g2 position, and the black queen (Ada) who only ate one soldier from beginning to end checked the white king. .

The white side's chess pieces reluctantly put down their weapons. In this chess game, the white side has always had the advantage. Even now, there are still more chess pieces on the white side.

From the very beginning, the outcome of this chess game was determined by White's choice to open the queenside by discarding pawns.

After a long illness, Ada lost to Ron so many times with the Queen's Gambit. She had already learned how to deal with such openings. She was sure to win, it just depended on the method she used to win.

After winning the chess game, the white chess pieces naturally moved out of the way, and Ada and the three entered the next room.

As soon as she came in, she smelled a mixture of smelly socks and an uncleaned toilet. It made Ada want to go back and play another game of wizard chess.

A twelve-foot-tall troll watches over the room, its dim brain unaware of the three uninvited guests.

Fred poked Ada and said, "Do you think this troll is the one that broke in on Halloween?"

During Halloween, Harry and the others only knocked out the troll but did not kill it, and the whereabouts of the troll after that were not known to the students. But this giant monster is much taller than the one on Halloween. Ada and the twins have never seen the one on Halloween, so they have this idea.

Their burly stature and unpleasant smell indeed make trolls very threatening, and they are also somewhat resistant to magic. Monsters with resistance to magic should be difficult to deal with, but they are too stupid. They don't have brains bigger than raisins, which seriously affects their combat effectiveness.

When the giant monster rushed towards the intruder with a club, the twins just used a tactic of attacking in the east and west, allowing Ada to easily hit it in the back of the head.

Bypassing the smelly troll, Ada and the others reached the next level. This level only had the flames sealing the front and rear doors, and seven bottles of different shapes placed on the table.

Fred and George picked up the parchment next to the bottle. On it was a riddle. From the riddle, we know that one of the seven bottles is forward, one is backward, two are nettle wine, and the remaining three are deadly poisons.

Ada also took the parchment and glanced at it. It was Snape's handwriting. Ada felt that Snape's test was completely insulting to the challenger. Who could be stumped by such a simple question?

But Ada didn't solve the puzzle. She just picked up the bottles one by one, looked at them, and smelled one of the bottles. Then I saw Ada take out a small flask from her robe. She took a sip first and then handed it to the twins.

"Drink, you can pass through the black flames in front of you."

The twins took the small flask and each took a sip. George asked: "You didn't make these, did you?"

The next chapter will be a little later, let me have a meal first
