Chapter 83 Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall, please explain!
Ted also suddenly realized that yes, these animal statues and the magic symbols on the ground are indeed very similar to the magic puzzles on the secret doors that have been solved before. At least one class of things!
"That is to say, the statues outside the circle should be placed in the blank area of the circle?" Ron asked.
Hermione stared at the magic circle and slowly shook her head, "Hiss~ No, there seems to be something wrong with the symbols in the magic circle?"
She looked at Ted. After all, Ted barely received higher education after nine years of compulsory education. Although he has already returned it to the teacher, it is better than these children who have not taken any serious math classes.
And he has a high intelligence attribute now, and he is very fast in mental arithmetic.
He was responsible for the calculations of the secret door puzzle solving several times before.
Ted blessed himself with "Arcane Wisdom", and then used [Ravenclaw's Wisdom (Blue)] to increase his intelligence, and then began to "pinch fingers to calculate".
After more than ten seconds, he said: "Indeed, there are several mistakes in the symbols in this magic circle! It should be a misleading trap left on purpose!"
If you just calculate the representative numbers of those statues and fill in the blanks of the magic circle, you will be fooled.
As for what happens after being fooled...
Ted looked at the stone swordsmen and stone wizards standing in a row not far away. This thing can't be an atmosphere group to set off the atmosphere, right?
But who arranged this level?
Also, how did Quirrell and Voldemort pass?
The appearance of the observation array does not seem to have been moved, and there is no trace of forcibly breaking it. So is it somehow bypassed?
It seems that Professor Quirrell spent more than half a year without any results.
Of course, the greater possibility is that Voldemort is supernatural.
Although he is now so disabled that he can only act by possessing Quirrell, and his strength is out of the question, but the knowledge in his head is enough to deal with many situations.
The half-dead legendary black wizard is also a legend!
Ted began to calculate the correct position of the symbols and statues. Because it takes time to understand the "formula" represented by the magic circle first, and then analyze the numbers represented by the many sub-items involved.
This is also a time-consuming level.
It didn't stop Voldemort, it blocked us!
Hermione walked around the magic circle several times with great interest, examined it carefully, and whispered: "This should be the ritual magic mentioned by Professor Flitwick, right?"
"What ritual magic, why haven't I heard Professor Flitwick talk about it?" Ron said.
Hermione rolled her eyes: "If you don't lose your mind in class, you can hear about it."
Harry said: "I heard Sirius say something about ritual magic, and even our protection magic at No. 12 Grimmauld Square has elements of ritual magic."
It is good to have a magic family with a long history, and they have everything. envious!
Ted probably did the math, and whispered: "Guys, follow my instructions to place statues and move symbols. I have to keep an eye on those things on the opposite side! Be careful, those things are definitely not decorations!"
After speaking, Ted also picked up a stone on the ground, tapped his wand to turn it into an iron sword, and handed it to Neville.
"Neville, use this!"
Neville somehow took over the iron sword with one hand, the sword with one hand and the cane with the other, feeling quite comfortable.
"Put the bull on the second row at three o'clock, and move the rune on the third row at five o'clock to the left one..."
Ted stared at the stone sculpture on the opposite side, and sure enough, when this side moved, a stone swordsman on the other side also moved!
It lifted the stone sword standing on the ground, raised its legs and walked over.
Heavy footsteps sounded like a drum.
Neville stepped forward: "Let me do it, Ted, you continue!"
Neville first shot the stone swordsman with a "destroyer weapon", but it was only a step back.
The stone sword and the stone swordsman are one and cannot be knocked into the air.
Neville used another "legs freeze and stand dead", this spell worked, making the stone swordsman unable to move his legs, so he could only stand on the spot and rub against each other.
Ted lived up to Neville's procrastination, and corrected a symbol and the corresponding statue again.
But another stone swordsman also came out with a sword!
"Let me do it!" Ron took the initiative, wanting to take the crime and do meritorious deeds, and get rid of the shame.
"Legs freeze and die!" He followed suit and did it directly.
This slide spell is very spiritual. The stone swordsman who couldn't move his legs fell **** the smooth ground. Son solved!
Ted continued to work hard, and there were only a few symbols and statues left. This time, two stone swordsmen came out directly from the opposite side, and there was even a stone wizard holding a stone wand!
"Be careful of that wizard! Protect yourself with iron armor!" Ted put a shield on the careless Ron in an instant, blocking the flying stone bullets.
Although the stone wizard can't really use magic, he is actually a long-range one!
"Fire impact!" Ted shook his other hand fiercely, and a ball of flames suddenly burst out from the stone wizard, and he was almost knocked down.
Then Ted was another "burning hand", a flame spewed out from the palm of his hand, and directly fired on several stone statues within a 60° range.
The Stone Wizard is on the edge of the Burning Hand.
"Frost Nova!" Ted ran a few steps towards the middle of the stone statue, and made an ice ring.
The blue magic power spread around like an expanding ring with a large amount of cold air, instantly freezing the burning stone statues.
Then the heat expanded and the cold contracted, and the stone statue began to shatter.
"My God! Cool~" Ron opened his mouth so that he could swallow a watermelon.
"Ted, your magic is so powerful! You smashed them all at once!" Jerry also praised.
Ted: Heat expands and contracts, boy~
If you want to smash these stone statues directly, Ted's current magical power alone is still far behind.
It must be an advanced spell such as the Shattering Curse to be possible.
If it's normal, you have to be a top fifth or sixth grader to do it.
But magic is all about making the impossible possible.
I am magic + science, you still want to catch it? !
Ted put the last statue in the only empty space, and the magic circle on the ground suddenly began to emit light, a magic power spread from the magic circle, and all the stone statues came alive!
Ted was taken aback: Whoever arranged the level is still playing tricks after clearing it, right? I can't afford it!
Fortunately, these stone statues did not attack, but spread out to both sides, holding up the stone swords and crossing them, neatly lining the road to welcome them.
Ted and the others held their wands tightly, and passed between the two rows of stone statues suspiciously.
Over there is another wooden door...
The room on this side is even bigger, almost like a stadium! The lifting frame is also much higher, it must have the appearance of ten meters high.
Now Ted is more and more sure that this underground space is definitely not natural, but a space extended by magic, arranged according to the preferences of each professor.
This room is rather strange, in front of it is a huge chessboard!
Ted said in his heart, this should be the level set by Professor McGonagall! Finally saw something familiar.
However, when he looked up, a large group of dragonfly-like things were flying around his head.
"This..." Did you steal Professor Flitwick's inspiration? ! Professor McGonagall, you can't do this!
The friends glanced at the chessboard and the door without a keyhole behind the chessboard, and then looked at the flying key with wings in the sky.
"Obviously, we're going to play chess!" said Ron.
"At the same time, we have to find the key?" Jerry said.
"But which one is real?" Hermione asked.
Harry grabbed the flying broom next to him and fiddled with it, "It seems that we need someone to play chess and someone to grab the keys."
Ted added: "Maybe it has to be done at the same time. If I were to lay out the level."
"But... how did the mysterious man pass? Is he alone?" Hermione asked.
Because he is Voldemort, even the levels of the professors can't trap him, not to mention that the professors seem to be designing a game, and they didn't expect to stop Voldemort.
They are testing the little wizard who came in rashly!
"Don't waste time! He's been in there for a long time!" Ted didn't want everyone to think that he was dealing with a legendary dark wizard, so as not to damage morale.
"Ron, it's okay to leave the chess game to you, right?" he asked.
"Ha! Leave it to me! The magic chess handed down for three generations!" Ron slapped his chest loudly.
"I'll grab the key." Ted stepped on the flying broom, kicked off, and took off~
