Chapter 398: Treasure Chests Are Divided Into Different Levels, and the Maze Becomes More and More Dangerous

"I think I understand." Harry looked at the scene thoughtfully, "The treasure chest is the key."

"The treasure chest is indeed the key, but..." Krum paused, his expression solemn, "The Dementor has not disappeared, and is still wandering in the maze."

After the voice fell, the other three looked at each other.

But soon they thought of something, and their faces turned ugly.

Aaron opened a box and got a thirty-second map, but also released a Dementor.

If he opened two boxes, it means that there will be two Dementors in the maze. By analogy, the number of Dementors in the maze will gradually increase as the warriors get more clues.

What's worse is that there may not be only Dementors in the box, Hagrid's blasting-tailed skrewt hasn't come out yet!

No wonder Dumbledore said that if you want to quit, release the red spark, because as time goes by, the maze will only become more and more dangerous.

"Can I quit the game if I release the red spark directly after entering?" Harry said half-jokingly.

"What did you say?" Moody walked up to him angrily, "I just heard a coward say he wanted to quit the competition."

"No, I..." Harry explained hesitantly, "I was just joking."

"Then don't talk nonsense." Moody pulled him to the entrance of the maze and said earnestly: "To be honest, I am a little disappointed, Harry Potter, you are a Gryffindor, and the brave Gryffindor would actually retreat in the face of difficulties.

If James and Lily knew that their son was at this level, they would not rest in peace after death."

Hearing this, Harry clenched his fists and his eyes became particularly firm, "I won't quit."

"Very good." Moody patted his shoulder and lowered his voice: "I know you are worried that someone will tamper with the third project, but believe me, believe Lupin, and believe Dumbledore, we will not give anyone the opportunity to harm you.

So, promise me that you will not give up until you can't hold on anymore."

Harry nodded seriously, took a deep breath and walked into the maze.

At this time, Bagman blew the whistle, "Viktor Krum can enter."

Krum glanced at the projection screen, then strode towards the entrance. When passing by Moody, the two exchanged glances without leaving a trace.

The maze has completed the second move, and the map in Aaron's hand has completely lost its effect. The only function may be to estimate how far he is from the trophy.

Aaron made a simple calculation with the Quidditch field as a reference. He was still about 400 meters away from the trophy.

But in the maze, he didn't dare to move rashly, and could only approach the center carefully.

After passing several forks in the road, the sound of sparks exploding came from not far away, and it was getting closer and closer.

"Is this... a blasting-tailed skrewt?" Aaron looked strange. He was very sure that the source of this sound was a blasting-tailed skrewt. After all, Hagrid had asked them to raise it for a long time.

Snap!

Aaron snapped his fingers and used illusion to hide himself.

Then he created another illusion and quickly ran to another fork in the road, leading the blasting skrewt in the opposite direction after it appeared.

The third whistle sounded, and Cedric entered the field.

He had just walked through two forks when he found a silver treasure chest, and he also opened the box from a distance with the unlocking spell.

However, there were no strange creatures in the box, only a piece of parchment.

Cedric raised his eyebrows and opened the parchment, which turned out to be a map of the maze: the maze will move again in one minute, please hurry.

In addition to the maze map, the parchment also recorded the specific locations of Aaron, Harry and Krum.

"It seems that I am lucky." Cedric smiled, and then quickened his pace according to the instructions of the map.

Fleur, who was outside the field, saw this scene and realized that not every box was dangerous.

But she was relieved for a while, and saw Harry opened a Boggart, and Krum opened a two-meter-tall eight-eyed giant spider, and she couldn't help but have a toothache.

The number of dangerous animals was successfully increased by two, and she was still waiting at the entrance, feeling a little anxious.

Finally, the last whistle sounded, and she rushed into the maze eagerly without waiting for Bagman's explanation.

The sky gradually darkened, and the hedge wall of the maze was at least six or seven meters high. Coupled with the thin white fog, the warriors had to use the fluorescent spell to see the road clearly.

Aaron drew an accurate route map in his mind while walking, wanting to get as close to the end as possible before the maze changed again.

After turning a few corners, a silver treasure chest appeared in front of him.

"Alaho Open!"

Without any hesitation, Aaron opened the box directly.

The pungent smell spread in all directions, followed by the sound of bubbles bursting.

A giant monster about four meters long slowly stood up, holding a long wooden stick in his hand.

"Oh my goodness."

Aaron held his forehead and shook his head. He didn't expect that there would be such a creature in the competition maze.

The troll walked towards Aaron quickly with a stick in his hand, and a hideous sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Snap!

Aaron snapped his fingers, but did not take out his wand, but turned around and sped away.

The troll immediately started chasing, and the dull sound of running almost spread throughout the maze.

When the troll ran away, Aaron's figure walked out of the shadows.

The trolls are aggressive and destructive, but their IQ is low, and they can easily get away with illusions, which is the least threatening to him.

He took out a live point map of the same model as Cedric from the silver box, looked at the silver box meaningfully, and smiled: "It seems that treasure chests are also divided into different levels!"

The wooden treasure box is an ordinary map, with 30 seconds to select the route, and the silver treasure box is a live point map including the warrior's position, and the time to move in the maze is also doubled accordingly.

There should be a gold treasure chest, and the movement of the maze is also divided into overall movement and partial movement. Otherwise, if the time when the warriors get the map is not much different, the frequency of the maze movement will be too high.

Aaron thought secretly, and then followed the live map to find the correct route.

......

After more than ten minutes, the maze map was mostly run by several warriors, and everyone moved towards the center in an orderly manner.

Aaron was the closest. According to his speculation, he was less than 100 meters away from the trophy. Harry and Cedric tied for second, about 150 meters away from the center, and Krum and Fleur were less than 200 meters away.

But they are not as relaxed as they were at the beginning. In addition to the occasional movement of the maze, the blasting tail skrewts and giant scorpions hidden in it also appeared one after another.

These behemoths are like scavengers, with great lethality and a certain degree of magic resistance. They can only go around them when they see them.

In addition, each of them opened almost three treasure chests, releasing more than a dozen dangerous magical animals, which added more danger to this maze.

Aaron opened a silver treasure chest in a dead end.

No strange creatures were released, only a mirror inside - the Mirror of Erised. (Reflecting the things that one desires most in the heart)

"Good fellow, even this antique can be taken out."

Aaron approached the magic mirror, and his own appearance was reflected in it.

After a while, Aaron in the mirror pointed at his feet, and Aaron instantly bent down and picked up a Marauder's Map.

The map showed that he was three corners away from the finish line, and there was one minute.

Aaron felt relieved. The distance was less than 50 meters, and one minute was enough to walk there.

But just in case, he still quickened his pace.

However, an accident still happened. He passed through several corners, but stopped at the last exit.

He could clearly see a circular open space 20 meters away, where the trophy of the Triwizard Tournament was, and three golden dragons surrounded the trophy, and the crystal blue light was constantly flashing.

But a sphinx made of yellow sand blocked the exit. It was huge, with limbs like stone pillars. Just crawling on the ground, it was as high as the hedges on both sides.

"Answer my question. If you guess it right, you can go through. If you guess it wrong, I will eat you. If you don't guess, you have to change the way." The sphinx spoke in human language, and his voice was extremely hoarse.

"I have limited time. You'd better hurry up." Aaron said impatiently.

"I don't exist in the past, but I will always exist. No one has seen my face, and I am the pursuit of all living things. What am I?"

"An abstract answer!

Fortunately, I know a friend who likes riddles very much. The answer is tomorrow."

"Answer... Correct."

The sphinx turned into yellow sand and dissipated, giving way to the last road.

Aaron shrugged and walked to the end. The trophy of the Triwizard Tournament was placed on a pedestal, shining with an attractive brilliance.

All the audience outside the venue watched this scene excitedly. Professor Flitwick even raised his baton, ready to play music at any time.

"It seems that the champion of the Triwizard Tournament has been decided." Bagman said excitedly, "After more than a century, we are about to witness history..."

He stopped speaking halfway.

Because Aaron did not go to take the trophy, but sighed, sat silently beside the pedestal, and waited quietly for the arrival of others.

"Miss Crane, did you arrange this?" Dumbledore smiled meaningfully.

"I just let him touch the trophy last, but there is only one way to win the championship under this premise."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "All the warriors touch the trophy together, but this..."

"He has to convince others." Adrian said as a matter of course, "or convince others."

"Miss Crane is really... eclectic!" Fudge laughed, "Using a wizard duel to end the finale, most people really can't think of such a good idea. I believe that the audience present will be feasting their eyes today."

"Maybe!" Adrian said nonchalantly, "I've also arranged something else that will make this final project more interesting, but I don't know if it will be useful."
