This labyrinth, designed for the third project, is very dark and unusually quiet.

The walls of the labyrinth are made up of tall and dense hedges, and a great deal of magic is attached to them, making them both fireproof and perfectly insulated from the sound of the outside world.

A black flame rose from Hallie's fingertips and quickly spread, illuminating a large area of the surrounding field.

She waved her wand briefly, her fingers touching a small mirror hidden in her sleeve.

Then Harley seemed to be in the right direction, striding forward, even when she came across a fork in the road.

“…… We can see that Harley is very confident. ”

Ludo looked at the moving light screen of the only figure in the sky, and explained loudly,

"She didn't use the magic of finding a route or determining the type of direction, she made a judgment based on her instincts alone."

"To be honest, I personally don't approve of this kind of operation, after all, the design of our labyrinth is from the experts of the Ministry of Magic, so it is still more subtle."

"But considering that Hallie is so talented, from my personal point of view, I believe she must have her own intentions in doing so."

"Wait, Harley has encountered the nearest dangerous plant, a devil's net."

"Ha, these poor plants, may Merlin bless them......"

In the labyrinth, Harley just snapped her fingers, and the black flames rushed towards her in an instant.

This scared those devil nets, and they obviously didn't do anything!

Not to mention such a terrifying black flame...... We're just a bunch of devil nets that even a first-year wizard can deal with! How can He De treat you so solemnly?

These devil's nets were very heart-to-heart, parting to both sides, and clinging to the wall, not daring to move.

Hallie didn't even glance at the trembling devil nets, and strode over.

After passing by the devil's nets, Harley glanced around a corner.

In a corner not far from the group of devils' nets, there was a pebble that looked featureless and lay quietly.

It was an illegal portkey made by Barty Crouch Jr., and was waiting for the Mother to trigger it.

Harley didn't break the matter, didn't make any markers, but continued to follow the direction of her magic mirror.

The first layer of the maze is the least dangerous, with only a few plants and animals that the first and second year wizards of Hogwarts can solve, and there is not even a formal magic trap.

However, it is probably due to the application of the powerful Traceless Stretching Spell, so the area of this layer of the maze is extremely large.

For a short period of time, Harley had no obstacles other than the Devil's Net, but she had covered a distance as long as three "straight lines between the two goals of the Quidditch pitch".

At this moment, a whistle suddenly sounded from the small piece of ice that Harley had left at the entrance, and it seemed that Fleur, who had the second highest overall score, had entered the maze.

Harley didn't try to look for her, but continued to walk unhurriedly towards the entrance to the second floor.

On the stairs leading to the second labyrinth, Harley discovers a legitimate portkey set up by the authorities.

She blinked, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and waved her wand lightly:

"The slide is flat!" "There are many obstacles!" "Silent!"

The steps leading to the second floor instantly turned into an extremely smooth slope under Harley's magic, and there was no one standing on it.

Considering Harley's own magical prowess, it was almost impossible for an ordinary wizard to turn her back into a step.

As for trying to magically create a rough point of focus on this smooth plane and then climb up again, it was impossible.

Although Harley didn't deliberately make the obstacle spell she cast the best level, it was enough to stop this group of average-level warriors.

What's more, she also maliciously attached a silent spell to this piece.

Although by the standards of the international magical education community, silent spells are something that must be mastered by sixth and seventh graders.

However, in fact, the number of wizards who can master this is very small, and the vast majority of wizards who master this skill will also lose the power of their spells when they use silent casting.

If the warriors behind them couldn't make a sound, they would probably be even more helpless when they couldn't crack Harley's magic.

"Mentos!"

Harley pointed to the portkey again, artificially modifying the portkey to the third-to-last maze and setting the teleportation end point to the entrance to the second floor.

“…… Hallie chose to leave some problems for the warriors behind," Ludo's voice grew more and more delighted,

"We can see that Hallie has turned the staircase leading to the second floor into a smooth flat surface, attaching obstacle charms and silent charms to them."

At the same time, she also found a portkey, and used her superior magic skills to modify the final location of the portkey.

"If I'm not mistaken, the final landing point of that portkey should be the third layer of the underground labyrinth, but now it should have been changed to the entrance to the second layer of the maze."

"But that's normal, after all, Hallie herself needs to go to the top to fight for the championship."

"However, if you set the portkey directly into a higher layer of the maze that the player has not been to, there is a high chance that you will get stuck in the wall or fall directly into a magic trap, which will lead to your own elimination."

"Only the entrance to the second layer of the labyrinth, which can be reached by the eye when standing at the bottom of the first staircase, is the only safe place for Hallie to land."

"It's safest to design that there as the end point of the portkey...... Wait, what is Hallie doing! ”

Ludo let out a scream of shock, and the audience was in an uproar.

Under everyone's watchful eye, Harley didn't use the portkey, but tossed it aside after modifying its final location.

In the maze where the terrain is complex and everything is quiet, there is a sudden sound of wind. A breeze spawns out of thin air, runs along the labyrinth, and grows stronger.

By the time the wind reached the entrance to the second labyrinth, it had become a powerful hurricane.

Hallie took a half-step forward, and just stepped into the wind.

The wind blew through Harley's long hair, holding up the beautiful figure and heading straight for the second layer of the labyrinth.

Along the way, obstacle charms kept opening a hole, waiting for their owners to pass before quickly merging and blocking the road.

After landing on the second layer of the maze, Harley waved her hand in the direction of the screen, showing a confident smile before moving on.

"What do we see!" Ludo's voice instantly raised two notches, "Incredible, really incredible!" ”

"Hallie didn't use the portkey, and just flew up!"

"Did she master the magic of flight? This is definitely another new creation in the history of Spells......"

The whistle sounded again outside the labyrinth, and Catherine, who was in third place, trotted all the way into the maze.

But Principal Egilborn Fontana didn't even look at his students, instead staring at Hallie with a frown.

The other principals had similar expressions on their faces, and they all vaguely sensed in their hearts that the champion was getting farther and farther away from their own school.

…………

The noise outside continued, and one warrior after another entered the labyrinth.

However, the gap between these warriors is huge, and when Harley came to the fourth floor, except for Fleur who came to the third floor by relying on the two portkeys left by Harley, the other warriors were still lingering on the first or negative floor.

And Krum, who is in the bottom of the overall score, has even just begun to move into the maze.

After all, the score gap between him and the Warriors in front of him is too big, and if the entry time is determined according to the proportion of the point difference, he has a great disadvantage.

The Durmstrang warrior was clearly aware of this, so his face was gloomy and his wand was constantly circling in his hand.

Krum knew that as the last warrior to step into the labyrinth, if he didn't go off the rails, he would definitely not win the championship.

After all, he didn't have the confidence to defeat Hallie and take the trophy from that Hogwarts monster.

The only way to do this is to gamble your luck and find a way to find a shortcut to get the trophy first.

Therefore, instead of going to the staircase leading to the second floor, Krum chose to rush towards the staircase leading to the labyrinth in the basement, ready to pin his hopes on the portkey.

This decision was a good thing for Krum, as he no longer had to look for the staircase that had been ruined by Harry.

Catherine and Miguel, the two warriors who were about to clear the maze step by step, were stopped by Harley's backhand.

The two were forced to turn around and find the stairs leading to the labyrinth below, while also getting closer to Krum.

“…… We can see that Catherine has now arrived in the labyrinth on the second basement level. ”

"There is a portkey near her, ending at the center of the second layer of the labyrinth. But before she can find the portkey, she has to deal with the eight-eyed spider in front of her. ”

Although he didn't have much desire to pay attention to the other warriors, Ludo still needed to be wet with rain and dew to avoid leaving a handle on the road.

"Catherine used the kind of alchemy magic item that can shoot a one-time explosive alchemy item, and successfully repelled an eight-eyed giant spider in just two attacks!"

"Can she notice the portkey? She noticed! Catherine arrives at the second layer of the labyrinth via the portkey! ”

"Miguel and Krum need to hurry, they are already too far behind the other warriors!"

"Wait...... Miguel and Krum have met! ”

On the light curtain, Krum and Miguel, who are looking for the key in the labyrinth below, happen to step into the same magical trap.

This magic trap is a red mist.

After stepping into this red mist, the warriors will not encounter any danger or suffer too severe negative effects, but will only completely lose their perception of their surroundings.

So until the two collided together, they didn't realize that there was a real person on the other side.

Instead, they both thought there was a wall on the other side, so they both took half a step back, ready to turn and walk straight out of the fog.

The two happened to turn in the same direction again, so it wasn't until Krum and Miguel came out of the fog that they stared at each other and found that the opposite side was their opponent.

Krum's reaction was slightly better, and he threw two petrification spells on the spot, but Miguel quickly bent down to dodge them.

Although the first wave of attacks had no effect, it was naturally impossible for Krum to let go of this excellent opportunity to eliminate his opponent.

He immediately launched a pursuit, while throwing out the Stun and Petrification Charms in an attempt to disable Miguel first.

And Miguel, as Castrobusche's most gifted student, is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp.

However, his own strength is positional warfare, and he is extremely uncompatible with an opponent like Krum, who is flexible and good at athletic warfare.

In the case of such a sudden encounter, he simply didn't have time to grow magic plants.

Therefore, Miguel could only subconsciously release an iron armor spell to resist first, and at the same time threw more than a dozen floating dandelion seeds in the direction of his escape.

These suspended dandelions themselves grow extremely fast, and they have been transformed by several professors of Castrobuscher in advance.

Under the influence of specific magic, they take root and sprout at an extremely fast rate, and directly skip the step of extracting green leaves and blooming flowers, and directly bear fruit.

Miguel waved his wand as he passed by the suspended dandelion he had planted, the plump fruits exploded.

Suddenly, the narrow passage was full of snow-white dandelions.

The dandelions fluttered all over the sky under the effect of their own magic, fully obscuring Krum's vision.

"Dark Flame Burn!"

Krum reacted after a moment's pause, and made the most correct judgment.

Flames of black magic erupted from his wand and swooped down on the large dandelions in front of him, trying to burn all the little things that got in the way.

However, the floating dandelion itself also has certain fireproof properties, and although the black magic flame is relatively powerful, it cannot be disposed of in a short period of time.

When Krum finally cleared the obstacle in front of him, he could only see the devil's net covered with a small half of the road in front of him.

He was a little stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to force his way forward, but tried to use the flames of black magic to drive away these fire-fearing plants.

But with the wizard in control, the Devil's Net, which was supposed to be afraid of flames, was not afraid of these more powerful flames of black magic, and kept slapping the ground, as if demonstrating to Krum.

Krum frowned, and could only take a slight step back. In the case that the other party is prepared, he will definitely not be able to beat Miguel, who is manipulating the plant.

For the offensive and defensive reversal caused by this obvious style gap, Krum still saw it very clearly, so in the end he was unwilling to choose to give up.

The two sides parted peacefully, and continued to search for the key to the door in this labyrinth, looking for hope to reach the upper level.
