389. The third project

Gritting his teeth, Field hurried back to the castle and pulled out a large backpack from the small club.

When he reached the tent full of monitors again, Gore was engrossed in watching the monitors.

By this time, the sky had already darkened, and the warriors had all entered the labyrinth, and the six cameras flying above the maze could only rely on the faint fluorescence emitted by the warriors' wands to determine their position.

"How's it going, Gore?" asked Field.

"Everything is normal, but this maze has been magically enchanted, the interior space has become very large, and the magic camera is very limited when shooting in the sky, so I have to devote myself to scheduling. Gore didn't reply.

Field didn't say anything more, but silently exited the tent and came to the stands, quietly looking at the huge screen above.

The six warriors all tacitly used the 'Guiding Charm', following the wand's instructions to find the path through the labyrinth. However, the Guiding Charm is not a panacea, it can only indicate where the end of the maze is, but it will not tell you where the dead-end road is.

From the screen, Field saw that Helen Hathaway and Cedric had walked into a dead end several times in a row.

The labyrinth is getting darker every moment, and the six warriors have gone deep into the labyrinth.

"Bang-" A magical explosion was heard.

Everyone in the stands was nervous, and Field couldn't help but raise his heart to his throat because Cedric was in trouble.

The huge tail snail blocked Cedric's way, it was probably the last tail snail left by Hagrid, at least fifteen feet tall, the moment he saw Cedric, the tail of the tail exploded, relying on a strong boost, and it crashed into Cedric at once.

Cedric lunged almost instinctively to the side, narrowly avoiding the snail's head-on impact, only to be cut several times in his face by the dense bushes on the side.

At this moment, Cedric had no time to care about the bleeding face, he rolled over and got up, and before the whelk could turn around, he waved his wand and shot a dark green light into the ground next to the snail.

"Puff-p-" The ground began to crack, and thick roots emerged from the ground, quickly climbing up the nails and spikes of the snail, and binding it firmly to the ground.

"Well done—" exclaimed Mr. Bagman, "according to the information we have received, this magical creature known as the Fried Snail is a new species created by the cross between a human-headed sphinx and a fire crab, and its armor can cast almost any spell, and all Cedric is smart enough not to shoot a spell at it, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable." ”

Riding on the snail to become entangled in the roots, Cedric quickly disappeared into a fork in the road.

On the other side, Beauxbatons' warrior, Helen Hathaway, is also in trouble. A strange tree at least twenty feet tall blocked her path.

On the tangled trunk of the tree, three different terrifying dragon heads grew on three branches.

Helen had apparently not seen the dragon's head flower, and had not read the latest report from the Magic Federation, and her situation was very dangerous.

Dragon's head flower was blocked in front of him like this, no matter what magic spell she used, it was difficult to do any damage to the dragon's head, at most it was just to knock off some of its leaves, and even when Helen tried to burn the dragon's head with 'Flame', she was instead burned by the flames of the head in the middle of the dragon's head.

Just as Helen was desperately rolling over, trying to extinguish the flames on her body, many vines suddenly stretched out from the bush wall beside her, and quickly tied her up, no matter how much she struggled, it was to no avail.

On the main screen, Helen is slowly pulled into the bush wall with vines in tow, and her parents in the audience hide their faces and scream.

On the periphery of the labyrinth, Mr. Crouch and a member of the Ministry of Magic quickly came to the direction near Helen, chanted a spell against a wall of vines, and Helen's figure slowly emerged on the wall, and was finally sent out of the labyrinth.

Seeing Helen sitting on the ground crying bitterly, everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief.

Helen's parents hurried down the audience and hugged Helen in the middle.

Field withdrew his gaze, still staring at the home screen.

Durmstrang's two warriors seemed to have reached a tacit understanding before the game, and by this time they had already met at an intersection, and after using the stun charm to solve a group of red hats together, the two continued to set off towards the center of the maze.

"Oh, cooperating with each other is indeed the right way to do it, after all, there are two warrior spots in each school in this competition. Mr. Bagman said.

"Oh, look, they're about to meet another warrior, Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons. Oh my God—"

Before Mr. Bagman could finish his sentence, the three men who met in the labyrinth suddenly attacked each other.

Krum and Fleur Delacour cast a spell one after the other, and both hit each other almost simultaneously, with Krum standing still and Fleur being knocked out of the way, and when she landed on the ground, Leo Poliaco stepped forward to give him a stun charm.

"Oh my God—they actually attacked each other, well, the rules of the game don't say no, but—but—" Mr. Bagman didn't know what to say. Because at this time, the audience was already tense.

The mustachioed Mr. Delacour had drawn his wand, and was facing the menacing scolding of Mr. Krum, who was two years older than him, and he did not have the good-natured appearance he had before. And the blonde-haired Madame de la Curl completely abandoned her gentle temperament, and almost tore up with the mother of the other two warriors beside her.

In the labyrinth, Poliaco struggled to wake Krum up, and the unconscious Fleur was pulled in by vines sticking out of the bush wall.

The Delacours had risen and ran in the direction of the labyrinth's perimeter, where Mr. Crouch was chanting a spell on the vine wall.

On the other side of the labyrinth, Harry was already in danger, and just as he turned a fork in the road, a Dementor slowly walked towards him, twelve feet tall, hooded over his face, and his rotten and scabbed hands stretched straight out.

In the audience, everyone gasped, and then looked at the leisurely Minister of Magic in the referee's seat, Cornelius Fudge.

In the dark labyrinth, a dazzling silver light lit up, and a silver stag popped out of Harry's wand and ran towards the Dementors. The Dementor took two steps backwards and tripped over its robes......

"Beautiful Patronus Charm—it's perfect—I'm sure most adult wizards can't do it to the level of Mr. Harry Potter—" Mr. Bagman shouted, and the audience erupted in applause.

The silver Patronus slowly approached the Dementors, but the Dementors did not flee, and Harry seemed to notice something, and recited a spell aloud, "Funny, funny—"

There was a bang, and the first floor of green smoke exploded, and the Dementor disappeared.

"Well done - Harry Potter saw through Boggart's disguise—"

In the stands, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and many people couldn't help laughing, it seemed that everyone had figured out that it was impossible for the Ministry of Magic to let Azkaban's guards leave Azkaban.

Harry was still on his way, and from the home screen, he seemed to be the closest to the Final Three.

In the other direction, Cedric, who had been wandering in the maze for a long time, was slowly approaching the two of Durmstran.

There was a deathly silence in the stands, and they all looked at the main screen, looking in the direction in which both sides were walking, and after seeing that there were no other forks in the road between the two sides, they all understood that a battle was inevitable.

Just in front of a wall, Cedric and Leo Poliac, who was walking in front, spotted each other at about the same time, and Poliaco did not hesitate to fire a disarming charm at Cedric.

Cedric, who was ill-prepared, was knocked off his wand almost immediately.

Field looked at the screen with some anticipation, before the game, Cedric deliberately put the sound-absorbing steel arm guard on his left hand, and he held the staff in his right hand, in order to maintain fairness, otherwise with the protection of the rune circle on the sound-absorbing steel armguard, his wand would definitely not take off.

Cedric was visibly flustered after the attack, and he shouted loudly, but Durmstrang's two ignored him, and the follow-up spell was already brewing.

This time Cedric was prepared, and his athletic skills helped a lot, and he stepped back, and he hid behind a wall of vines.

Krum and Poliaco began to run together in Cedric's direction, wand clenched in hand, ready to attack him.

"Hey—" Field sighed, but a helpless smile appeared on his face.

Seeing the scene in the maze made many people in the audience nervous, but some were relieved.

At the very position of the wall, the moment Poliaco appeared, Cedric stepped in front of him. Poliaco obviously didn't expect the other party to do this, he hurriedly pointed his wand at Cedric, but the hand holding the wand was held by Cedric, and the petrification spell he fired shot into the sky.

At this time, Krum also saw Cedric at about the same time, and before his wand could be pointed at Cedric, Cedric turned around and kicked the wand away from his hand.

With a flick of the wrist, Cedric snatched the wand from Poliaco's hand almost instantly, and nearly broke his hand. Then he turned around, followed by another kick, and Krum, who had just wanted to pounce, was kicked upside down and flew out.

Grabbing the wand, Cedric did not hesitate to cast a stun spell on Poliaco, who was holding his hand, and at this time, the kicked Krum had already fallen next to Cedric's wand that had been knocked away before, and he grabbed the wand and aimed it at Cedric.

All the people in the stands were stunned by Cedric's dazzling movements just now, and when they saw Krum pointing Cedric's wand at him, they sighed again, and in their opinion, Cedric had lost.

Field smiled wryly and shook his head, and on the main screen, Krum was desperately chanting incantations, but he couldn't cast the slightest spell.

In such an eerie atmosphere, everyone saw Cedric casually use a petrification charm to solve Krum.

"Oh, what the hell is going on? Why?" said Mr. Bagman, with a puzzled look on his face, asking the question everyone wanted to ask, but no one answered them.

"The dragon wand can't be used by wizards who don't have the magic power to meet the standard, and this wand is still treated with the special technology of the Nice family, except for Cedric, it won't accept orders from anyone. ”

"Oh, now that everyone else has been eliminated except for the Hogwarts warriors, let's see who can win the Triwizard Cup first. Mr. Bagman explained excitedly, looking like both eyes were bloodshot.

On the main screen, a close-up of the referee's bench is given, with Lady Maxim clapping slightly, Karkaroff with a black face, and Dumbledore smiling and talking to Fudge.

While the two warriors of Cedric and Durmstrang were battling, Harry passed another entrance examination in a nearby passageway.

It was a Sphinx, commonly known to Muggles as the Human-Faced Sphinx, the one with the body of a lion but the head of a woman, and it seemed to have a problem for Harry, and because of the distance, no one could hear the problem.

Just when everyone was worried about Harry, Harry actually passed the test. At this time, everyone in the stands breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the Sphinx is a magical creature of level 4X in the magic part, and if you answer its question incorrectly, you will be attacked by it. In a small space like a labyrinth, it is even more difficult to deal with a Sphinx than it is to deal with a fire dragon.

The Sphinx moved out of the way, and Harry walked briskly through it, continuing to use a guiding charm and running in the direction indicated by his wand.

Turn a corner, and at the end of the road, a trophy with a seductive light stands. In front of him, Cedric was confronting a giant eight-eyed spider.

"Faint—" Harry cast a spell almost immediately, and Cedric dodged to the side, but seemed to have made a mistake and almost crashed into Harry's spell.

The eight-eyed spider stumbled under Harry's stun spell, and Cedric broke out in a cold sweat at Harry's scare.

"I'm sorry, Cedric, I just want to help!" Harry quickly explained.

"You ......" Cedric was just about to reply, when the eight-eyed spider had recovered and pounced on him with its sharp mouthparts.

The eight-eyed spider was huge, and in the narrow aisle, Cedric couldn't avoid it, and was suddenly pinned to the ground by its two forelimbs through its clothes.

"Damn it—" Cedric cursed, picking up a kick and kicking the eight-eyed spider into his mouth.

"Except for your weapon-" Harry's voice sounded, the eight-eyed spider was violently knocked out, Cedric stood up and looked at Harry suspiciously, the eight-eyed spider's magic resistance was very high, and Harry's magic power obviously couldn't knock it away.

"Rune tattoo, Field tattooed me, I used it. Harry lifted his right arm, revealing the lines of runes that shone with a faint golden light.

"Hmm-" Cedric nodded, then raised his wand and fired a petrification spell at the eight-eyed spider as it was about to get up, causing it to fall completely.

The two looked at each other, then looked at the top three cups in the distance almost at the same time.

Then, almost at the same time, he blessed himself with the 'Wind Curse', and threw off his footsteps and ran in the direction of the top three cups.

"Come on, whoever it is!!" Field looked at the two figures on the screen, and then silently held the backpack on his back.

Cedric and Harry tugged at each other, but it was obvious that Cedric had a lot more strength, and in the end he almost dragged Harry and grabbed the top three cups first.

"Whoosh-" as Cedric grabbed the Triumph Cup, the air twisted, and he disappeared there. Harry fell to the ground.
