Chapter 44

After hearing Harry's words, the others looked up at the birds on the roof. After careful observation, they found that the shiny things flying around were not birds at all, but some winged keys.

Suddenly Harry exclaimed, "There you go, lo and behold! Broomsticks! We must go up and get the key to that door!"

Looking at the broomstick and the keyhole on the wooden door, they immediately knew what the secret to this level was.

Ryan handed over a vial of the acid secreted by the tombstone moss to the stones on the edge of the door frame while Harry was looking for the broomstick, and the stones remained motionless.

Sure enough, this level is not that simple. To break through the magic on the door and the wall requires strong magic power and rich knowledge. Otherwise, I'll just have to chase those keys on a broomstick.

I think Voldemort probably wouldn't go riding a broom according to the idea of ​​the person who set up this level. Because according to his suspicious mind, he absolutely refused to follow the method given by the enemy, and he would worry about whether this was a trap of the enemy.

According to Voldemort's history, he has to master the habit of making his own decisions about everything, so he should use magic to catch the key. This also consumes Voldemort's little mana now.

This is the same as the door of the cave where Voldemort placed his Horcrux, which requires bloodletting. Before the enemy approaches the target, he tries to consume the enemy's power as much as possible. It's just that Dumbledore's method is more upright than Voldemort's.

Harry and Ron were already on broomsticks at this time, while Ryan and Hermione, who were not good at flying, didn't bother. They stood back-to-back in the center of the hall, watching for the keys they needed among the group of keys in the sky.

"We're aiming for a big antique key - probably silver, shaped like a door handle," Ron shouted before takeoff.

Ryan saw the two of them rush into the dense group of keys. They grabbed and fished desperately, but the enchanted keys were dodging too fast to catch.

When everyone was getting more and more anxious, Ryan felt that he had found his goal. He called out to Harry, "I've found the key, right in front of you and up. The key is silver, with sky blue wings, and the feathers are all tossed to one side like they've been caught. "

Ron, who apparently saw the key before Harry, sprinted towards it, and the key flew into a sharp turn and he didn't stop, nearly hitting the ceiling.

"Let's drive the key down, Ryan, you are ready." Harry and Ron flanked the key down after saying that.

The key flew down quickly to try to evade their pursuit, but didn't realize that it had flown too low and got out of the main force.

Finally, the key was forced very close to the ground, and Ryan jumped up and grabbed the key. (Lane: "Thanks to the recent mechanical and medical knowledge, which greatly improved the stability and accuracy of the hand. Otherwise, I will definitely lose face today.")

Ryan held the key tightly because the key was struggling like a living thing. After Harry and Ron landed, they came to the door together. Ryan put the key in the lock and turned it, and the door opened with a click, which meant that they had chosen the right key.

After releasing the key and watching it fly away, Ryan twisted the doorknob. Four people file into the next level.

When I entered, the room was pitch black. Lane was also worried about tripping or falling. But the moment everyone stepped into the house, the whole house immediately became brightly lit. The door behind him also locked with a click.

This reminds Ryan of the heroine's birthday in the soap opera, but the hero doesn't care. The heroine feels a little sad. In the end, after the heroine arrived home with a tired face after a long day of work, she just walked into the house and closed the door, and the light turned on at once.

The male protagonist and her friends have prepared an entire birthday party to surprise the female protagonist.

It's a pity that what faced Ryan and the others here was not the cake at the surprise party, but Professor McGonagall's giant chessboard.

Lane felt that if Professor McGonagall were replaced by a Chinese, maybe a giant mahjong would be created. Seriously, though, he felt the levels were purely a mockery of Voldemort, who was now at the level of a first-year student.

After all, there are only so many ways of entertainment in the wizarding world. Wizard chess should be the most popular except for Quidditch, and at least half of them should be able to do it. And Professor McGonagall's style is probably very similar to Hermione when she was young. Then the level of wizard chess is estimated to be average. Even if the stone pieces are powerful, the level of the chess player is the biggest flaw in this level.

The pieces on the chessboard are about the size of real people, and they are made of black and white stones. You don't have to try it to know that this thing must have a high magic resistance, and it is not something that can be done by magic such as smashing spells.

More importantly, these flags have no facial features on them, and with the brightly lit chessboard and the rest of the dark room, a thick horror movie feeling is about to come out.

Ryan couldn't help but think of the monsters in the horror movies of the past life who had no mouths and no faces, and felt a little cold on his body. But he turned his head and saw that Harry and the others were shaking, obviously more frightened.

A door on the opposite side of the chessboard indicates that the only way to get past is to win the game. To make matters worse, everyone has to play a pawn, and the more people at this time, the more disadvantaged it is.

In the end, Ryan and Ron played the knights, Hermione the queen, and Harry the castle. This chess game is played by Ron, who has the highest level of wizard chess.

After the chess game started, Ryan found that when these pieces were capturing other pieces, although they looked fierce, they were mainly stunned, and did not use the weapons in his hand for fatal blows.

It seems that Professor McGonagall's level is just to delay the time, and at the same time avoid accidentally hurting Harry who came to pass the level. And if Voldemort used magic to force through the levels, then these pieces would not feel as peaceful as they are now. For Voldemort, who is now possessed by Quirrell, if these levels are forced to pass through one by one, it is estimated that there will be no more left on him. How much magic.

Since there would be no danger to his life, Ryan put his heart down and began to have leisure to see Ron's level of chess.

Ron's level looks good, but because he needs to take care of Ryan and the others, he can't use his hands and feet. Sometimes you have to pay more.

Ryan saw these and shouted to Ron: "I learned an iron armor spell, and it should be fine when it hits me, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Really?" Ron said. After getting Ryan's repeated confirmation, he said to Ryan: "You slant to the right and eat their most threatening queen. Then you will be eaten by the opponent's knights. The chess is good to go,"

It seems that the more people there are, the more constrained Ron is. Ryan thinks that if he can make sacrifices, the situation should be much better.
