Chapter 468 Giant chessboard array
The room was dark and nothing could be seen in the field of vision.
When Albert just stepped in, the torches on the surrounding walls suddenly lit up with flames, giving him a sense of déjà vu as if he were fighting a boss in a game. The illuminated scene was equally shocking.
At this moment, they were standing next to a huge chessboard. In front of them were two rows of black statues that were taller than them.
Facing them at the other end of the room were two rows of white statues.
Fred took a few steps quickly and tried to pass by the statue.
However, he quickly stopped and returned to the crowd again.
"This can't be... wizard chess, right?" Fred couldn't help but muttered as he looked at the soldier blocking his way with his sword drawn.
Actually, the four of them vaguely guessed the answer when they saw these neatly arranged statues.
“It’s so spectacular!” George couldn’t help but exclaimed, “It must be very interesting. This is my first time playing such a large wizard chess game.”
“Your wizard chess skills are so bad,” Fred muttered. “You can’t even beat Ron.”
“You seem to have beaten Ron.” Although George didn’t want to admit it, his useless brother who was afraid of spiders did play well at wizard chess.
“What now?” muttered Lee Jordan.
“Isn’t it obvious?” George curled his lips and pointed to the wooden door behind the white chess piece. “As long as you win the wizard chess game, you should be able to pass the level smoothly.”
“I remember that Albert played wizard chess very well!”
The three of them looked at Albert, waiting for him to make the final decision, whether to break through or win this game of wizard chess.
"I don't guarantee that I can win!" Albert looked at the giant chessboard in front of him and frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
“This is not like you, it’s just a wizard’s chess game.” Lee Jordan patted Albert on the shoulder.
“What’s wrong?” George noticed something was wrong. Is it really as simple as winning a game of wizard chess?
"We may need to play as chess pieces. If not, we may need to win the opponent one by one." Albert expressed his speculation. He wasn't sure he could win with three pieces.
“This is not good!” Although George also wanted to experience it, the thought of the wild gameplay of wizard chess made him hesitate instinctively.
After all, if they really need to act as chess pieces, it would be no fun to be swept away by the weapons of these chess piece statues.
“Don’t we have to go there together?” Fred frowned deeply and murmured.
The black king next to Fred suddenly moved, startling them all. The king's statue nodded to Fred, indicating that everyone must participate in this wizard chess game.
“Are you going to break in?” Lee Jordan asked tentatively. At their level, it shouldn't be difficult to use spells to blow up all the statues and pass the level directly through violence.
"If we do that, all these statues will probably come and attack us." Albert did not agree with the violent way of breaking through. How could Professor McGonagall not expect that someone wanted to break through violently?
In the level just now, you can pick the lock directly. This is entirely because wizards do not understand Muggles.
Although he felt that these statues did not pose much threat to them, it was better not to take risks. God knows what would happen if they really broke in.
Perhaps the wooden door opposite will not open?
Even if you really need to force your way through in the end, you have to wait until the number of chess statues is reduced to a certain level before considering it.
“Tell me, which professor designed this mechanism?” Lee Jordan raised his hand and knocked on the statue next to him and asked.
"Of course it's Professor McGonagall." George curled his lips and said: "These chess piece statues must be made by transformation magic. Although I don't know how it is done, it is really wonderful."
“Can Albert also do this?” Fred looked at Albert expectantly, wanting to get a positive answer from him.
“I do know something about wizard chess. Although the principle of this giant chessboard is similar to wizard chess, it uses more advanced transformation magic.”
Albert said to Fred, George and Lee Jordan: "I'm afraid we need to replace the four black pieces here."
“You take charge, what should we do?”
"Let me think about it." Albert's brain opened up and he began to formulate a plan. This was an unequal game.
“Think about it slowly.” The three of them were not in a hurry and began to study the chess piece statue, observing the surrounding environment and preparing for the violent passage later.
"Okay." A few minutes later, Albert clapped his hands, and after all three people looked over, he said: "Fred and George will replace the two knights, and Lee Jordan, you will replace the king. As for me, I will replace the bishop. .”
Come on, the most interesting wizard chess game of this century has officially begun!
“How are we going to defeat these statues later?”
"If that doesn't work, just use explosive spells to blast them." Albert took out a candy from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper and threw it into his mouth, and comforted casually, "However, I think it may not be necessary, as long as If they are "eaten", they should take the initiative to step down. If they really don't respond, just blow them up."
Albert was a little excited. Compared with the wizard chess on the table, he now felt more like commanding an army.
“What if we get eaten?”
"I will avoid this situation from happening. If it does happen, you will run out of the chessboard and remember not to be hit by the chess pieces." Albert has already begun to move the chess pieces.
The routines at the beginning are just that, exchanging coins with each other to free up a larger battlefield. Albert discovered that Professor McGonagall's chess game was not as clever as he imagined.
This game of chess went more smoothly than expected.
The difficulty of the giant chessboard array is that chess players need to maintain a normal mentality and not be distracted by the brutal fighting in wizard chess. As long as they can play to their own level of wizard chess, they will definitely win.
On the chessboard, Fred and George, who were still a little nervous, had already started to kill everyone. They used explosive spells to blast many of the chess pieces that they had "eaten", and swept the chess pieces into the garbage. They looked like they were acting like The King's Lee Jordan couldn't help but want to come forward and fight.
The soldiers were eliminated at the beginning of the game, and the scene of the chessmen fighting was particularly spectacular. Think of the opponent's chessmen cutting a chess piece into pieces with a sword and sweeping it out of the chessboard.
If it happens to you, if you don’t have enough courage, your legs will really shake with fear.
Even if you know that the chess piece will not attack you, who is afraid that you will be accidentally affected?
Especially when the opponent's bishop knocked the chariot serving as Fred's scapegoat to the ground with a hammer, Fred was really shocked.
Albert was deeply afraid that Fred would suddenly turn around and run away, so he immediately shouted to him: "Calm down, you are safe."
"It's not safe at all, I'm hurt." Fred complained, pointing to his arm that was injured by the debris.
“Stop complaining, fall back to c8.”
“Why don’t you eat the White Queen?” Fred retreated obediently, but couldn’t help but ask. He hadn’t completely calmed down yet.
"If you want to be eaten, I don't mind at all. Anyway, I will definitely make the money."
Looking at the fierce fighting, and couldn't help but look at Albert who was calmly commanding, everyone's psychological uneasiness completely disappeared.
Judging from the number of chess pieces on the board, Albert was obviously more skillful than his opponents. He captured far more white chess pieces than they lost black chess pieces. There was even one **** left in the front row.
Albert will save his chess pieces as much as possible and use them as cannon fodder for exchanging pieces. He also didn't dare to send Fred and George forward. Every time he used them, he had to prevent them from being easily eaten.
There is no way. Every time a chess piece from both sides is captured, the chess piece will behave ruthlessly and mercilessly. The best proof is that a lot of broken chess pieces are scattered across the wall.
When the number of chess pieces on the field was reduced to a certain extent, the problem of exchange of pieces was no longer needed, and Albert began to think about how to defeat the king as soon as possible.
He doesn’t want to stay here for too long!
After the white queen ferociously knocked the other bishop to the floor and threw it out of the chessboard like garbage, Albert immediately stepped forward and happily checked the king.
When he raised his wand and prepared to blow up the white king in front of him completely, this guy actually took off the crown on his head and threw it at Albert's feet.
This means that Albert won.
“Good luck to you.” Albert muttered, looking at the white chess pieces bowing and retreating, he lowered his arms and stopped causing trouble to the white king.
“It’s really interesting. It’s true that commanding a large wizard chess is far more interesting than playing ordinary wizard chess.” Fred said with a grin. He had eaten a lot of chess pieces just now.
“I just saw your legs were shaking.”
“Nonsense, who said my legs are shaking.” Fred glared at Lee Jordan with dissatisfaction. He knew that this guy must be envious of his charge on the chessboard.
“I’ve seen it all, your legs are shaking so much.” Lee Jordan curled his lips and said. In the game just now, he almost didn’t move. He was very safe and very boring.
“Stop it.” Albert stopped the silly joke.
“Tell me, if we had just taken a broom and used magic to bomb these chess pieces from above, would we not have to play this game of wizard chess?”
"The most likely possibility is that the door will not open." Albert thought for a while and said.
Actually, he had not considered this method, but he gave up in the end. If the wooden door could not be opened and was surrounded by chess statues, it would be really bad luck.
Since you can pass this level in the simplest way, don’t do anything fancy.
