Chapter 126: I wish you a happy journey...... Clearance
One more Rin Tosaka didn't have any impact on the plot, because if you want to get through this level, you have to step on the board and choose a 'character' to play, whether it's three people or four, you don't have to worry about not having enough 'characters' to choose from.
The game showed Ron Weasley's excellent ability, and he did a good job of helping Hermione and Harry choose the right 'characters' to ensure that they survived - and it wasn't until the final game that Harry saw Ron's move, and in this regard, the two were not at the same level at all.
Now there is one more Rin Tosaka, which still has no impact on Ron, and he still calmly copes with various situations, and gradually gains the upper hand.
"We're just going to stay here and watch?"
Ethan didn't continue to interrupt the game, but stopped a little further away and quietly watched Ron's performance.
"What are we going out for? Are you stupid enough to stand on the chessboard and play the chess pieces, and then be commanded by Ron?"
Malfoy wanted to ask a similar question, but when he heard Ethan's words, he swallowed his question back.
He didn't want to be commanded by that poor Weasley kid as a pawn, and he suspected that if he did, he would be thrown to his death.
What follows is not much different from the plot, and Ron unleashes the final blow after completing all the 'layouts'.
It's just that the price of the final blow is that the knight (horse) he plays himself will be eaten by the queen opposite, giving Harry a chance to win the general.
So they won the game, but what would happen to Ron Weasley, who was just eaten...... At least now that Ron thinks he's going to be killed, he's willing to make that choice......
"It should be said that the ignorant are fearless...... Or are you too young to know whether to live or die?"
"Does it make a difference?"
Ignoring the grumbling in Skaha's eyes, Ethan didn't know what Ron was thinking, but he was standing here, and it would be a joke to let a magic prop hurt his classmates.
Even if he doesn't have any friendship with Ron, but the dignified god can't even deal with a pawn?
Either way, it could be the talk of Rin Tosaka and Skaha, and he wasn't prepared to give them any chance.
When Ron completed his final layout and waited for the queen on the opposite side to attack, Ethan just raised his hand slightly to face the queen's chess piece in the distance, and then a strong magic impact slammed into the huge queen's chess piece, blasting the chess piece into dust.
The change stunned several Gryffindors on the board, with Harry, Hermione, and Rin Tosaka all staring blankly into the dark corners behind.
After all, they were students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and they were all top students with relatively good grades, and they could tell where the attack was coming from from the direction of the queen's scattering when she was blown into dust.
"Did the professors find out?"
Such a powerful attack, in Harry's mind, must have come from the teachers of the school, and it would definitely not be a student, even the seniors may not be able to release such a powerful spell.
When Ethan stepped out of the shadows, Harry's first thought was, 'Did Snape stay in the shadows?'
Snape, as the head of Slytherin, is also a suspect who is heavily suspected by Harry Potter, and a villain who wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and there seems to be no reason to save Harry and others who want to stop him.
As for why Ethan and Snape got together, Harry didn't think that much, anyway, Slytherin's, that place is all badas!
By the time Malfoy had followed Ethan out, Harry had been more convinced of his judgment.
But after waiting for a long time, except for another unfamiliar girl, there was no shadow of Snape at all.
"Ethan?"
"Hmm. ”
Rin Tosaka didn't talk about it, and Hermione didn't have as much of an opinion about people in Slytherin as Harry did, but she still couldn't believe that it was a classmate who had only studied magic for a year like herself.
"Why are you here?"
"Why can't we be here? Are we just allowed to wander around during your breaks?"
Malfoy's habitual reaction was instinctive, and he had finished speaking before he could even react.
"So you're going to snitch with the professor and be locked up with us?"
Malfoy stopped talking, the last whistleblower was a shame in his life, he actually involved himself, and he wouldn't make the same mistake again this time.
"How long do you want to continue talking here? I don't know if the chess pieces are destroyed, and I don't know if the professor will be brought in, and then we will all have to be locked up without anyone telling us. ”
It's a magic piece, and Ethan doesn't know if the maker will sense it when the magic structure in the piece is completely destroyed - if so, then the professors should be aware that the place protecting the Philosopher's Stone has been invaded.
Harry Potter was stunned, what does Ethan mean by this?
"Harry!"
Ron had already jumped off the knight's chess piece, the queen's chess piece had been beaten to pieces, the whole chess game had been destroyed, and this game of chess would definitely not be able to continue, and how to get through here was still a problem.
The destruction of the queen's pieces does not mean that they can pass directly, and the pieces that were previously captured by their own side in the chess game are all restored to their original state at this time, and they are blocked again on the opposite side - only the place of the queen who has been beaten into dust is vacant.
"What now?"
Harry looked at the other side, then at Ethan and the others, and he suddenly wondered if Ethan had done it on purpose, just so that he and the others could not get over?
He didn't know what to do, but what surprised him was Hermione and Rin Tosaka, who seemed to be very familiar with Ethan in Slytherin, and Rin Tosaka asked Ethan directly if there was a way?
Because Ethan had been quite low-key this school year, Harry didn't know him very well, but his grades were good, and that nasty Snape seemed to like him - which caused Harry to have a bad opinion of Ethan, even though Ethan had never been in contact with him.
"Do you have a way to get us through?"
"Yes. ”
Ethan's answer was simple, and he didn't give Harry and Ron a chance to question him, and with a slight wave of his hand, the large pile of chess pieces in front of him, as if they had been swept away by a huge force, smashed into the walls on both sides one after another, making a loud and dull sound.
"It's okay to pass. ”
“......”
If Malfoy, Hermione and the others didn't understand how Ethan destroyed the queen's pawn just now, now they know how strong Ethan's strength is.
Harry and Ron opened their mouths even more in shock, staring at the chess pieces that had been thrown into the corner like garbage.
"Let's go!"
Ignoring the frightened kids, Ethan remembers walking ahead to see Quirrell, who was now standing in front of the Mirror of Eris at a loss and didn't know how to get his hands on the Philosopher's Stone.
When Ethan and Harry's group arrived, Quirrell was still standing in front of the Magic Mirror in a daze.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he was surrounded by a group of children.
Harry was shocked that it was not Snape, but Professor Quirrell, who was stammering and timid.
Because it was different from what he expected, Harry and Quirrell talked a lot to make sense of the situation: for example, during a Quidditch match, it was Quirrell who wanted to kill Harry instead of Snape, and even Snape was actually saving Harry.
Ron and Hermione immediately covered their faces, thinking that Snape's spell had caused Harry's broomstick to lose control, and Hermione ran over and lit a fire on Snape's robes.
Snape's robes caught fire, causing a small mess that knocked over Quirrell sitting behind him, causing Harry to get out of the crisis.
But it wasn't Snape who wanted to kill Harry after all, they still helped, and it was still a shame to accidentally injure allies, and Hermione felt very embarrassed in her heart.
By this time, all the truth was clear, and although Skaha didn't know the whole story, it didn't prevent her from watching the excitement with relish.
Only Malfoy was confused, he had no idea what was going on.
It wasn't until Quirrell asked Harry Potter to take out the Philosopher's Stone from the Magic Mirror that Ethan reached out to stop Harry Potter, who was a little frightened, after all, Harry was still a child under the age of eleven and twelve, and he didn't listen to anyone like he would enter a rebellious period after a few years, and it was not strange that Quirrell would be frightened in the face of Quirrell, who was a professor at school.
Ethan doesn't know Quirrell, not to mention that Quirrell can't scare him, even if he lets Voldemort behind him come out, he doesn't think it's a big deal.
"You're just a thief trying to steal important items from the school, and we don't need to listen to you. ”
Harry reacted to this, and he stopped his steps and stared at Professor Quirrell across from him.
Because of Ethan's troubles, Voldemort, who was already extremely dissatisfied with Quirrell's efficiency, finally couldn't help it, and he said that he would personally come forward to 'talk' to Harry and the other children, believing that he could easily control these little children and let them help him get the Philosopher's Stone...... Go out...... Come...... Alas, what's that kid holding in his hand?
Just as Quirrell had untied the turban from his head and Voldemort could see through the mirror what was going on with Ethan, Voldemort was surprised to find the kid named Ethan looking at him with a stone in his hand.
"When is the Philosopher's Stone?"
