Chapter 208: A Labyrinth That Doesn't Pit a Warrior Is Not a Good Labyrinth
In the Headmaster's office, Dumbledore and a group of Hogwarts professors were gathered around a large table with a sand table.
This sandbox is a model of the maze used in the final match of the Triwizard Tournament.
Zhang Xu stood next to the sand table, holding a huge protractor in one hand and a long ruler in the other, while looking at a drawing next to him while positioning on the sand table.
After determining the five positions, Zhang Xu picked up the five stones and placed them in the corresponding positions in the maze.
After placing the stones, Zhang Xu patted the non-existent dust on his hands, and then nodded to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore raised his wand and tapped the five stones in turn, and a faint layer of mist suddenly appeared in the circle of the five stones on the sand table.
Then Zhang Xu put the borrowed Laifu in, and saw Laifu jumping around in the circle, as if he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and every time he was about to jump out, he would turn his head and jump towards the center of the circle.
For most of the next half hour, Lai Fu could not escape the circle of five stones.
Dumbledore saw that the effect was good, and nodded in satisfaction.
The professors gathered around the sand table were also very satisfied, and everyone nodded their heads in unison with Dumbledore.
Zhang Xu arranged a miniature version of the ecstasy array in the sand table of the labyrinth.
This Zhang Xu held the third year of high school textbook and arranged the ecstasy array according to the book, which was naturally compared to Zhuge Liang's "strange stones, like swords; Horizontal sand and soil, overlapping like mountains; The sound of the river is surging, like the sound of swords and drums". But it can disturb the five senses and mess up the direction to a certain extent, and it is enough to use it in the maze of the Triwizard Tournament.
As a toad with little intelligence, Lai Fu was naturally much more affected than humans, and it could only crash into the ecstasy.
Zhang Xu had arranged a similar formation around the screaming shack many years ago, and it had always worked well, and the professors had studied this formation, so here they agreed that Zhang Xu would arrange a better one in the maze.
After the effect of the Ecstasy Circle was removed, the labyrinth went through some adjustments, and finally determined its overall layout.
After deciding on the overall layout of the labyrinth, the Hogwarts professors began to discuss the placement of various obstacles in the labyrinth.
Each time an obstacle was decided, the professors planted a flag with the name of the obstacle in place in the maze.
The most active of them is Hagrid, who has cultivated all kinds of magical animals that he has cultivated into the labyrinth.
Snape set some traps that would poison the warriors, and then there would be an antidote within twenty steps, if you could find it.
And Professor Sprout even contributed the immature mandrakes in the greenhouse.
Naturally, Zhang Xu will not let go of such a good (kēng) opportunity to play (rén).
In the world of magic, there is nothing that cannot be imagined. Even if Dumbledore doesn't let you do it because it's too dangerous, it's easy to get out through magical COS.
The professors worked Sunday and finally designed the maze of the competition.
After completion, the professors looked at the dense flags in the maze sand table and nodded with satisfaction.
However, the size of the maze was so large that it was no longer possible to set it inside the Quidditch pitch as originally planned, and now it had to be placed on the lawn outside the pitch.
In Dumbledore's office, Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch, who came to review and accept the labyrinth design as representatives of the British Ministry of Magic, couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.
In particular, Barty Crouch, who has just been discharged from the hospital and returned to work, is afraid that the friends who come to compete will be folded in the maze and cause diplomatic disputes.
"Professor Dumbledore," Ludo Bagman asked cautiously, "is the labyrinth too difficult?" ”
He saw the enthusiasm of the Hogwarts professors when they designed the traps just now, and he felt that the professors were not designing the maze, but designing the final exam papers, and they were seriously overstepping the curriculum.
Dumbledore smiled at Ludo Bagman and said, "Is it difficult?" It's not hard for me to see at all. I'm sure the Warriors of Hogwarts will do well. ”
Hearing Dumbledore's answer, Ludo Bagman wiped the sweat from his forehead and stopped talking.
Ludo Bagman, who sat back in his chair, glanced at Zhang, who was drinking tea, and the obstacles in the maze were the ones he arranged the most.
For example, let the warriors step on the magic trap that will return to the starting point, the magic and physical defense are extremely high, and only by jumping on its back and stepping on the turtle shell can it subdue its big turtle, the Laoshan white flower snake grass water in a wooden box floating in the air and changed to a beautiful crystal bottle packaging, the zombie wearing a red football suit and a helmet rampage, the seal that suddenly appeared in a round hole in the icy road, the zombie dog with a hideous face and exposed muscle tissue, Several squares mark the number of squares with magic traps next to them......
Ludo Bagman doesn't think he can easily get through these obstacles.
If Zhang Xu hadn't taken the initiative to make an "unbreakable oath" to him just now, promising not to reveal the secrets of the labyrinth, Ludo Bagman and Barty Crouch would have thought that he wanted to trap the other three warriors and then let his girlfriend get the Goblet of Fire.
There's a reason why the Hogwarts professors are all trying to stuff the maze into the maze with all the hard obstacles.
Barty Crouch Jr.'s pretending to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor couldn't be hidden from Beauxbatons and Durmstrong.
In order to make the Ministry of Magic face up to the return of Voldemort, Dumbledore planned to make it bigger from the beginning, so that the students at Hogwarts knew about it, and then spread the word.
As a side effect, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang used this as an excuse to question Dumbledore, and then Hogwarts.
You see, the professors of this school have been transferred for so long before they find out, which shows how good the teaching level of this school is.
When these rumors reached the ears of the professors at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall went berserk.
In the faculty break room one day, Professor McGonagall, who was furious, held a kick-off meeting.
Since the other two schools have questioned the quality of teaching at Hogwarts, we have shown our true strengths.
Because the host school was responsible for the final game of the Triwizard Tournament, Professor McGonagall asked the professors present to show all their housekeeping skills, so that the friends could take a good look at the level of the Hogwarts professors. Then train your own warriors fiercely, anyway, we have two warriors, one and the other, so that the friends can take a good look at the level of Hogwarts students.
After Professor Zhang lit a candle for Ron and Cedric in his heart, he was the first to stand up and show his loyalty, I am honored by the school, and I am ashamed of the school, and I will not release water because his girlfriend is Beauxbatons, please the party-state...... The principal is reassured of his loyalty.
As a result, there is this labyrinth, which can be said to be frenzied.
