Chapter 188 Sage Mode

"Yunkai, I wish you good luck."

"I wish you good luck. Remember, don't force yourself for a while. When you encounter danger and you can't bear it, use a magic spell to summon someone to protect you. A thousand gold galleons is not worth it!"

"No need for you to nag me! Hermione has just been nagging me for a long time!"

"We're just worried about you! Okay, I'm going in."

Lu Yunkai and Harry hugged each other heavily.

Then, amid the deafening cheers, we walked into the maze that was full of green, but not relaxing at all.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and we came to the scene of the last event of the Triwizard Tournament.

Dumbledore, whom Lu Yunkai had not seen for a week, appeared at the scene, looking as usual, smiling and greeting several guests. In the audience, guests from the other two schools mixed in with the Hogwarts crowd also received a warm welcome.

After Crouch Sr. died, Ron's third brother Percy seemed to have taken over his affairs and became one of the judges for the last game of the Triwizard Tournament, and also appeared on the rostrum.

Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary.

Lu Yunkai, who entered the maze, was still in a relaxed mood.

Chrissy had already come here to "explore" last night. There was something weird inside, and Lu Yunkai knew about it.

Although according to Chris, this maze is constantly changing. Lu Yunkai must find a way to the final Triwizard Cup trophy by himself today, but he already knows what is inside, which is tantamount to a game. Open book exam.

Lu Yunkai had already made sufficient preparations.

Potions, magic items, everything.

That priceless piece of leather armor with adequate magic immunity has been put on his body. It is mainly used to deal with the seemingly invisible mushrooms in the maze that can make people excited and even bloodthirsty. of spores.

And in his hand, there is a lantern that emits huge light, which is naturally used to drive away the devil's vine that is afraid of light.

Of course, his favorite potion, the Explosive Corrosive Potion, is also on hand now, ready to throw it at any approaching dangerous animal.

He didn't move slowly because he wanted to end the competition as quickly as possible. This is good for him and everyone else who is competing in this game at the same time.

"Really, why do we have to restrict the use of broomsticks!"

Lu Yunkai muttered while running around in the maze.

Dead end. Still a dead end. Why is it a dead end again! !

There really is no potential for playing mazes! !

Just thinking about it, suddenly, he heard a strange sound behind him. Lu Yunkai turned his head and was stunned.

A swarm of spiders…

Aragog is really capable of giving birth! !

Sighing, Lu Yunkai threw out the two bottles of explosive corrosive potion in his hand without even a moment's delay.

After two bangs and a sharp scream of a spider, an "isolation zone" of corrosive agents was formed behind him. The group of spiders seemed to be afraid of the dark sticky substance on the ground and splashed on the wall, so they did not catch up.

Lu Yunkai, on the other hand, didn't waste a moment. He didn't even look at the scene of the potion exploding behind him. He threw the thing out of his hand and turned around to continue finding his way.

In this way, like a headless fly, he wandered around the maze for who knows how many hours and used up nearly twenty bottles of explosive corrosive potion. Just when Lu Yunkai began to worry that someone would find the Triwizard Cup that was said to be hidden deep in the maze before him, the scene he had been looking forward to for a long time finally appeared.

There is a golden trophy on the table.

There was no one around.

As the top scorer in the first two rounds of competition, Lu Yunkai was the first to enter the maze. Although he was not very good at running the maze, he was well prepared. It was normal that no one arrived before him.

So he didn't waste a moment, rushed to the stage, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the trophy.

In a blink of an eye, he had arrived outside the maze.

What greeted him was a deafening cheer.

Only then did he realize that it was already dark.

This match lasted all day? Why do I feel like only three or four hours have passed?

Lu Yunkai muttered in his heart, but this did not prevent him from instinctively raising his hands, holding the trophy he had just found.

A trophy that is neither heavy nor gorgeous.

…

"Lu Yunkai is our king!"

In the Slytherin lounge, Lu Yunkai sat on the shoulders of his classmates, enjoying their enthusiastic cheers.

In his hand, he held the trophy, and on his chest, a medal was shining.

There is a row of words written on it: Eternal Glory.

This was put on by the Minister of Magic Fudge himself for Lu Yunkai at the just-concluded celebration dinner.

To be honest, this was something that was so tacky in Lu Yunkai’s aesthetic sense that he really didn’t want to wear it (at least right after receiving the award, Blaise expressed his disdain for Lu Yunkai’s sparkling brooch), but there was no way. This thing is for people to see, and now that Slytherin's celebration is still going on, he has to wear it.

In fact, he was really not very excited.

Although he was very nervous in the maze today and was very excited when he got the trophy, when he was teleported outside the maze through the trophy and began to accept the cheers of the audience, the feeling of "this is it" was gone. came to mind.

I really didn't think it was difficult... that's it? ?

However, looking at the other three warriors who were teleported out of the maze with him because he picked up the trophy, he still kept this complaint in his heart.

Fleur fainted and was unconscious. Krum and Harry were both in tatters and in a mess.

The expressions of the two people holding wands in their hands looked nervous as if they were facing a great enemy. Even Krum, with red eyes, seemed to have not recovered yet and cast a fainting spell on Harry.

Fortunately, Dumbledore reacted quickly, stopped him, and used a spell to dispel the influence of mushroom spores on his body.

In contrast, Lu Yunkai, who had no dirt on his clothes and a clean face, looked like he was strolling in the garden.

This way of winning is very Slytherin. Elegant, noble, and indisputable.

This is also the reason why the college lounge is still noisy at this time.

Although the current celebration method is not elegant or Slytherin at all.

"Meow, why are you so grim? Smile!" Chris, squatting on Lu Yunkai's shoulder and enjoying the feeling of being on top of the cat again, reminded Lu Yunkai.

"...I really don't feel anything, because it's not difficult, so I can't be happy." Lu Yunkai replied in a low voice.

Anyway, the group of Slytherin students were celebrating, and no one should hear his words in the noise.

"Meow, didn't you just complain that the leather armor depreciated and consumed your 600,000 gold galleons! How come it's not difficult!"

"...Spending money in vain doesn't mean it's difficult!"

"Unfair? Have you forgotten Krum's look of wanting to kill everyone in the world? Without that leather armor, you may not be much better than him!"

"Forget it." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

He noticed that someone around him seemed to notice that he was talking to the cat.

The celebration continued until late at night.

The next morning, Lu Yunkai and the others got up from the bed early. Although there was no class today, there was something to do today.

Farewell.

The students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons who had stayed in Hogwarts for a whole year were leaving.

The farewell scene was still very pleasant. Although the two groups of guests who came from afar did not bring back the trophy in the end, they did not complain much. After all, Lu Yunkai's way of winning was overwhelming. Therefore, they did not win the trophy, but they made a lot of friends, and they all smiled when they left.

As the host and winner, the students of Hogwarts were naturally more generous.

Laughter came one after another.

And Lu Yunkai was the focus here.

Because he lived close to Slytherin, there were many students from Durmstrang who had intersections with Lu Yunkai, and in addition...

"Come to Bulgaria when you have time."

As a "loser", Krum was very close to Lu Yunkai, the winner, and his classmates naturally couldn't say anything.

"Of course! Don't pretend you don't know me then!" Lu Yunkai smiled and gave Krum a big hug, "Also, don't forget what I told you before."

"No!" Krum smiled and nodded, "I'll ask after I officially take office in the Bulgarian Wizards' Union. If they don't restrict it, then I'll agree to it!"

"Okay!" Lu Yunkai smiled and nodded.

They were talking about a proposal that Lu Yunkai made when he found Krum a few weeks ago: he wanted to shoot a series of advertisements of Krum using magic mirrors...

Well, he planned to ask Krum to endorse his communication mirror.

In fact, according to Chris, Lu Yunkai didn't need to spend this money at all: as the new champion of the Triwizard Tournament, his endorsement might be more effective than paying Krum.

After greeting Lu Yunkai, Krum didn't seem to forget to say hello to Hermione and Harry in Gryffindor, and then followed their headmaster back to the big ship of Durmstrang.

Under the gaze of the Hogwarts students, he left before the students of Beauxbatons.

As for Beauxbatons, it seemed to be more casual.

Because all the people who came were girls (Lu Yunkai didn't know that there were more than just female students in Beauxbatons until the second event of the competition was over), these girls chatted for a longer time.

Even Madame Maxime herself didn't seem to be able to get away easily. Hagrid seemed to want to seize this last moment to try hard...

Efforts are made, but the hope is slim.

Finally, Gabrielle reluctantly put down Chris in her arms, and finally left after agreeing with Lu Yunkai to come and see the cats when she was free.

Furong, who originally planned to stay in England, finally got on the carriage pulled by the magic horse with her classmates.

And seeing off the guests from the two schools means that another school year at Hogwarts has finally come to an end.

Summer vacation is here.

Lu Yunkai's good days without having to worry are over.
