Chapter 144: Brute Force Cracking

"Remuneration?" Harry couldn't help but froze for a moment.

"Yes, I like your invisibility cloak a lot, if you give it to me, I'll help you!" Although such a threat was likely to cause Harry, Ron, and even Hermione to resent it, it was rare for him to make such a request.

"No way, Professor Dumbledore gave it to Harry!" Ron preemptively said.

Hermione also looked at Twilight in surprise, wondering why he was blackmailing Harry at such a time.

But Harry shook his head.

"Okay, I promise you—" he said as he looked at Ron, "if we fail this time, then it's useless to keep the invisibility cloak, even if I wear it all the time, I won't be able to hide from Voldemort, right?" ”

"I'm going to get the cloak of invisibility!" With that, Harry ran back to his bedroom.

"Invisibility cloak, worth 200 points—" Looking at the information displayed by the system, Mu Du forcibly resisted the excitement in his heart and carefully put it into his robe pocket.

"Hey, what are you doing putting it away? Can't we go out and use it? Ron asked, dissatisfied.

"No, since you have already done the consciousness of deducting points, then you don't have to be sneaky, just go directly to the third floor!" Mu Du said with a solemn face.

All the way blatantly rushed.

This time, because Neville was not in the lounge, the four of them left without Neville's hindrance, and they came to the end of the corridor on the third floor smoothly.

"Ahora Cave Open—"

Hermione opened the wooden door with a lockpicking charm.

Then a soft harp sound reached the ears of the four.

"Lowe is asleep!"

"It must be Snape - he's already in, we're going to have to hurry!"

Harry looked very anxious, but as they entered, the magic harp suddenly stopped playing.

"Not good!" Seeing that Lou Wei was about to wake up again, Harry hurriedly escaped from his pocket Hagrid's flute, but before he could blow it, a song full of oriental antiquity was already sounding next to him.

"Huh? Twilight, do you play the flute? Hermione asked in surprise, it was the first time she had known that Twilight had this special skill after being together for so long.

As for Ron, he was completely attracted by the gorgeous appearance of Xinghai Luanming.

"Alright, let's go down quickly!"

Harry had to pat Ron urging.

Because of Mu Dui's performance, the four of them calmly slid down the tunnel.

"At the height of the tunnel, I'm afraid we're already in the basement..."

"I don't think now is the time to care about this... What the hell is this?! Feeling the vines around him that were constantly winding and tightening, Harry was already struggling desperately.

It's just that the more he struggles, the tighter the vines wrap around.

"I know what this is, it's the devil's web—" Hermione, of course, spoke.

Although Twilight already knew what it was through the plot, as a person who had only achieved E (good) in Potions and Herbology, he felt that he should pretend not to know.

"Hurry up and figure it out, I'm running out of breath—"

"Devil's web, devil's web... What did Professor Sprout say? Oh, it likes to be wet and dark – yes! Fire! ”

"The flames are blazing!"

This time, Twilight finally made a move, and although it was only a minimum release of magical power, the thick tongue of fire that rose from the tip of the wand quickly burned the devil's net back wildly, successfully freeing the four of them from their predicament.

"It doesn't seem like a good thing to change her with her practical invisibility cloak..."Harry and Ron looked at each other, both thinking so.

"It's mainly Hermione who recognizes this thing," Wood Twilight said casually and modestly.

Then they followed the only corridor in front of them to a large stone chamber, which had no light but was very bright, the roof arched high, and hundreds of winged keys flew wildly over the heads of the four men, making a noisy buzzing sound.

"Do you think the birds will attack us when we walk through the room?" Ron asked.

"Quite possibly," Harry thought as he stared at the key above him, and then at the distance from the door opposite.

"Mu Dusk-san, are you sure you can deal with those birds?"

"Hmm..."Mu Du nodded in agreement, still with a relaxed expression on her face.

"Then let's just run over there! If those birds attack us, we're in trouble for you! "An invisibility cloak has been given away, and Harry naturally won't be polite to Mu Dui.

But when they were ready to be attacked, they ran over, only to find that the keys ignored them and were still flying wildly in the sky.

"It's-"

"The door won't open!"

The door was locked, and Hermione couldn't open it with a lockpicking charm.

"Twilight, why don't you try it? Your magic is stronger than mine—" Hermione looked at Twilight pleadingly.

"I don't want to change it to me... I can't be better than the magic of the professors, can I? Twilight shook her head and said, "I think we need the key!" ”

Twilight said as he looked at the waste key above, and the others followed his gaze.

"I found it!"

To be a good Seeker, in addition to excellent flying skills, you also need a pair of eyes that can find a golden snitch the size of a ping-pong ball in a huge arena. Harry's ability to catch the Golden Snitch repeatedly during the game is clearly good.

So he quickly found the silver key that had clearly been caught, and the wings were creased.

"There's a broomstick here—"

"You don't need to be so troublesome, you should land!"

Echo Landing is a magic that imprisons the opponent in the air and forces it to land, and a flash of white light flashes, hitting the key with precision, causing it to fall to the ground with a clang.

Just this time, as if stabbing a hornet's nest, the key that was originally flying wildly instantly swooped down towards them as if it had been instructed.

"It's not good—"

Ron screamed in fright, and even Hermione and Harry weren't much better, all of them turned pale with horror.

The dense hundreds of metal keys were like a salvo of arrows, and it was too oppressive.

Of the four, only Mu Du still showed an indifferent face, which was of course because of his strength.

"Transfiguration!"

Twilight tapped her wand at herself, and then puffed out her cheeks as Harry and Ron looked at her in bewilderment.

"Could it be—" Hermione had clearly guessed what Twilight was going to do.

"Breath!"

A dark red pillar of fire erupted from Twilight's mouth, and the terrifying heat far beyond the ordinary flames instantly vaporized all the metal keys that had been fired.

"It's... This... You're going to breathe fire...", Ron's shuddering as he touched his somewhat charred hair.

In fact, not to mention him, even Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, who were peeping with crystal balls in the Headmaster's office, were startled by the breath of the Twilight Dragon.

"Oh God, this kid is so powerful, I didn't expect Transfiguration to be so useful..."

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but exclaim, because she, a professor specializing in Transfiguration, had never thought of such a way to turn parts of her body into dragon form to increase her combat power.

"This kid is a genius indeed!" Dumbledore couldn't help but praise, his eyes flashing and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get the key!"

Harry came to his senses and quickly ran over to pick up the silver key on the ground.

Fortunately, his judgment was right, and this key could indeed open the folding door, otherwise the real key would have been burned by Twilight, and they would have had to break down the door violently.

"What is this?"

"It's like... It's Wizard Chess! ”

Wizard Chess is the most popular board game in the wizarding world, somewhat similar to chess, and it's the only thing that Ron is good at.

"3 pieces missing... Could it be—" Ron had already figured out how to crack it just by glancing at the chessboard, but he couldn't help but change his face at the thought of the danger of wizarding chess.

"If we replace the pawn, we will probably be killed by the pawn on the opposite side..."

Ron unconsciously looked at Mu Dui, he thought of dozens of ways, at least one person had to be sacrificed, no matter who was sacrificed, even Hermione, a guy who always went against them, he didn't want to see it, so he could only turn to Mu Dusk for help.

"Destroy the opposing piece and you win, right? Broken apart—"

Twilight waved her wand and shot at the stone statue on the other side, but the Split Spell seemed to be not powerful enough, and was scattered by the stone statue on the other side with a single sword.

"Can't you?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"Not necessarily—" Twilight smiled at her, signaling that it was okay.

Splitting is just a primary spell, and on top of this, there are intermediate spells that shatter bones and high-level spell thunderbolt explosions, which may not be able to shatter these golems.

However, after estimating the remaining mana, Mu Du still chose the safest and most powerful breath.

"Transfiguration!"

It's just that it doesn't take a few mana to transform something as big as the stomach, but the mana consumption is still not small when you release the breath.

"Stand back—"

Harry and the others hurriedly exited the stone chamber and returned to the tunnel.

"Dragon's breath!"

The dark red pillar of fire was several times larger than when she had dealt with those keys before, and Hermione, who was more than ten meters away from hermione, had to put down her armor spell to resist it.

This time, Twilight directly drained all of his remaining 53 points of mana, and the flames completely covered the entire stone chamber.

Two seconds later, the flames were extinguished, and there was nothing left of the entire stone chamber except for the magmatized ground, including the gate on the opposite side.

"It's... How do we get there? ”

"Stupid, don't you have a broomstick?"

"Yes, yes, yes... Wrong... We only have three broomsticks, huh? ”

"My magic is exhausted, and the rest is left to you!"

"Got it!" Harry took a deep breath, glanced at Ron and Hermione, and ran back to the first room.

Twilight has done enough, and the rest should be up to them.

Riding on a broomstick, the trio flew over the magma and entered the next stone chamber, the Potions Chamber.

It's no different from the original, with Hermione's logical reasoning ability, she quickly figured out the way through, but there was only the next potion to advance and a potion to exit in front of her.

"I'll deal with Voldemort, Hermione, you go back to Professor Dumbledore for help!" Harry made a quick decision.

Voldemort must be dealt with by him, as for going back for help, he chose Hermione among Ron and Hermione, because the teacher is in trouble, Ron's words are likely to not be taken seriously enough, and only Hermione, a scholar who is liked by the teacher, is more secure.

"Take care!"

Hermione gave Harry a hug and took the potion of withdrawal, but after what had happened, she had come to terms with Harry's courage and determination.

"Is the Iron Triangle finally coming together?" looked at Hermione as she ran back, and Twilight shook her head silently.

Harry and Ron love to get into trouble, but Hermione is very nosy, especially since she also takes the honor of the house very seriously, if it weren't for Twilight's existence, she would have been mixed with Harry a long time ago.

"Let's go find the professor—"

Hermione brought out a lot of broomsticks to Twilight, but she couldn't help it, without Twilight's flute, she couldn't get past Lowe's guards alone.

Her worries were unfounded, though, and when they flew out of the basement, Dumbledore was already in front of them.

"Professor Dumbledore—"

"Don't worry, Miss Hermione, I already know, you're all doing well, I'll take care of the rest!" Dumbledore smiled kindly at Hermione, his gaze fixed on Twilight for a moment.

If the first dragon's breath only amazed Mu Dui's imagination, the second time he had to be shocked by the sheer amount of magic that burned down the entire chessboard room.

Even though dragon's breath is a very efficient way to transform mana, the mana required to cover such a large area is definitely beyond the level of ordinary adult wizards.

And Twilight is just a freshman who has only been enrolled for a year, and in the past hundred years, only a few people, such as Grindelwald and Voldemort, have been able to have such powerful magic at such an age.

Thinking of this, a faint worry rose in Dumbledore's heart.

However, the most important thing was Harry now, so he didn't stay any longer, and after asking the two of them to go back to the dormitory as soon as possible, he rushed directly to the end of the basement with a shapeshifting phantom.

"It's going to be fine with Dumbledore!" Seeing that Hermione was still a little worried, Twilight opened her mouth to comfort.

Even Voldemort at his peak was not necessarily Dumbledore's opponent, let alone now? Being able to teleport freely around the castle is a huge advantage in itself.

Soon Hermione learned from Ron that Harry had been rescued by Dumbledore.

"But Harry is still unconscious, and Professor Dumbledore told us to come back and see him in a day's time..."

One day was neither long nor too short, but in the course of a day, Harry's heroic deeds magically spread throughout the house.
