The explosive spell turned the squirming stone wall with its outstretched arm into rubble. Sean waved his hand to sweep away the smoke and stepped over the ruins.
Normally, the solution here would be to break free and find a safer way - but he felt that this was too troublesome.
Sean didn't care how much attention the big noise he made would attract. To him, the Goblet of Fire was just an extra. If the other participating teams were Aurors who managed the Ministry of Magic of various countries, he would probably be more interested.
The current opponents, whether they are members of their own clubs, good friends from the same school, or junior students with malicious intentions, they are just students.
Just looking at it as a student, looking at the history of the wizarding world, there are probably not many people my age who can compete with me...
Casually stepping on the ground that turned into barbs, Sean spread his thoughts.
I don’t know what level of strength Dumbledore was when he was my age. As for Grindelwald, emm, it seems that the old man was expelled quite early?
However, these two people are already very strong at the age of just graduating, as the memories in Godric's Hollow can prove... I don't know what is in their heads, how can they be so strong?
.
Oh, speaking of which, there is also Voldemort. After all, his talent was recognized by Dumbledore, but this guy transferred to Nurmengard midway... His talent is probably excellent, but his brain may not be very good. Of course, this
Only after he split his soul.
Other famous geniuses... In comparison, they seem to be far inferior to Dumbledore and Grindelwald, not even Voldemort. Just judging from the records in the history of Hogwarts, they were in the fifth grade.
He was probably not as strong as me when...
Suddenly, a slightly fishy smell came over, and Sean immediately reacted from his reverie.
Huh? How could I think about these things at such an important moment? Isn’t it too careless...
The oncoming human words interrupted Sean's thinking.
"You are on the right road, but it is a long way, and the nearest road is at my feet."
The dim light could not hinder Sean, who had cast a spell on himself long ago. He looked over and found that the person making the human voice was an extremely strange monster.
It's the Sphinx. Its body is like a frighteningly large lion: it has huge paws, a long yellow tail, and a tuft of hair at the tip of its tail, but it has the head of a woman.
The face of the Sphinx is a bit like that of ancient Cleopatra. It’s quite pretty, except for the eyes, which are like those of a feline...
Muttering in his mind, Sean smiled at this magical animal that had only appeared in textbooks: "Then can you make way for me?"
The Sphinx looked at Sean with its long almond eyes. It scratched the ground with its paws hesitantly, and then said in a low and hoarse voice: "According to the rules, I should give you a riddle - answer it right once."
, I will let you go. If you make a mistake, I will pounce on you and attack you. Of course, you can also choose not to answer and then choose another path. I will not attack you."
"Rules are dead. Whether it's a person or a magical animal, flexibility is the best choice -" Sean said with a smile.
He came closer and looked at the Sphinx with gentle eyes.
The Sphinx looked even more hesitant, sweeping its tail back and forth: "But this is my mission..."
"The person who asked you to come in probably didn't say you had to do this, right?" Sean continued to be persuasive.
"Yes, I never said that." The other party agreed.
"Then why do we waste so much time?" Sean walked over and stroked the Sphinx's back under its expectant and nervous eyes. After the other party made a meow-like sound, he just followed it.
He stroked its spine back and forth a few times.
His affinity with magical animals is now ridiculously high, and coupled with Professor Scamander's extremely detailed personal notes, such a magical animal as the Sphinx has become Sean's little pet in just a few minutes.
After giving a few instructions, Sean bypassed the Sphinx and continued towards his destination.
Ten minutes later, a beautiful female voice came to the Sphinx.
Her Beauxbatons school uniform had been ripped open several times, and her face still had black marks.
Repeating his opening remarks, after the other party asked to hear the question first, the Sphinx said:
First think about who always wears a mask,
His actions are secretive and he lies constantly.
Tell me again what things are always mended,
The middle of the middle, the tail of the tail?
Finally, tell me when I can’t think of words
Which word is often spoken.
Now connect them and answer me,
What's an animal you wouldn't kiss?
The girl thought hesitantly for a long time, and finally tried to say: "imposter?"
The Sphinx who was originally sitting suddenly stood up. Beads of sweat fell from the girl's forehead and she immediately screamed loudly: "No, no! I'll think about it again!"
The principal's wife said that there is a Sphinx in this competition. This magical animal is very intelligent and will give the contestants many opportunities, as long as they don't anger the other party...
However, to her shock, the Sphinx didn't give her a chance to think again.
"wrong answer!"
The girl's screams echoed in the maze.
Sean didn't know which unlucky guy would run into that sphinx, but that was out of his mind. At this time, he had already joined Daisy and Stephanie.
Stephanie remained dressed as she had entered the maze, looking as if she had just returned from a walk.
Daisy was panting, but she was not injured, but part of her face was blackened.
"How on earth did Hagrid grow the snails to be so big..." Little White Flower muttered.
Taking out a handkerchief and handing it to Xiao Baihua, Sean looked at the center of the maze: "According to the message sent back by my shadow insect, it should be over there."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Stephanie nodded: "Then let's go directly?"
Daisy wiped her face carelessly, and then put the handkerchief back into her pocket: "I met Cedric when I came here. He seemed to have discovered the location of Fred and George, and went to meet up in the other direction.
.”
"It's okay, ignore them."
------------------
"Are we just waiting like this? I thought there would be some kind of screen broadcast of the game." Looking at the short professor next to him, Mr. Wallop whispered to his wife.
Mrs. Wallop had been looking at the huge maze worriedly, without turning her head at this moment: "No electronic products can be used here, dear - oh, God, I'm so worried about Sean, there was a girl with a sharp point just now."
Did you call?"
"I heard from Mr. and Mrs. Porter that this game is quite dangerous, but they all said that Sean will definitely be fine -" A burst of noise interrupted Mr. Wallop's words, and he turned to look at the stands on the other side.
It seems like someone is quarreling.
He had just stood up to take a closer look at what was going on, when suddenly a huge force came from behind and pushed him back.
Mr. Wallop was stunned for a moment, and then, a scorching light passed by where he had just stood up!
"Assailant!" Colton, who pushed Mr. Wallop back, withdrew his trembling left hand and immediately raised his wand with the other hand.
The sudden appearance of a curse in the stands immediately panicked the crowd.
Professor Flitwick screamed, "All students, squat down!"
He waved his wand, and one after another huge, shining silver armor spells spread out from around him.
"Assailants? Isn't this a school?" Mr. Wallop hugged his wife and daughter tightly.
He heard the roar of the little wizard, heard the explosion caused by the spell tearing through the air, heard the screams of the crowd and the cries of the children.
Where is the headmaster? Where is the greatest Dumbledore that Sean mentioned?
Just as he came up with this idea, he heard a high-pitched, sweet, frightened voice coming from the stands belonging to the referees and principals not far away: "Dumbledore is dead!"
How is this possible?! Mr. Wallop was startled. He instinctively raised his head and looked at the stands.
A tall, thin man with short white hair and a curly goatee was shouting in terror, and behind him, an old figure was slowly falling down.
The crowd was completely in chaos, and the students' eyes widened in horror.
Professor McGonagall's stern voice echoed throughout the stands: "That's an illusion!"
"It's not an illusion, I can touch his body, my God, my old friend!" Karkaroff screamed again.
Along with his screams, a group of wizards stood up from the stands where the commotion had just been heard. They aimed at the professor and the Wallop family beside him, and continuously fired magic spells.
Sherlock raised his wand to protect the Wallops, while Colton protected her in front of her with a solemn expression: "Why are there so many attackers in Hogwarts?"
"I don't know!" Sherlock roared angrily, and she hit one of the attackers with a magic spell. "Those wrong guys are still in the dungeon. We have obviously carefully checked today's guests. Hogsmeade
We are also under martial law!"
She looked anxiously at the stand where Dumbledore was. Everyone there seemed to be frightened.
Impossible, this is impossible... She gritted her teeth and continued to fire spells, and took the time to add defensive spells to the Wallop family around her, regardless of whether the barrier was hit or not.
The goal of the attackers was obvious. They seemed to be coming for the Wallop family.
"Seeking death!" an angry figure shouted, and three figures appeared on the stands.
Professor Dumbledore?! Sherlock almost shouted in surprise.
But she soon discovered that it was not Dumbledore, but an old man who looked very similar to him. Standing next to him was another old man and a hooded woman.
Aurelius and Aberforth... Sherlock thought of the two people Sean had mentioned to him.
Aurelius waved his wand angrily. His spell was so powerful that the attackers could not even resist.
Professor McGonagall, who had been protecting the students, shouted to Aurelius: "Be careful of something weird!"
She had already identified the attackers, who were the injured construction workers. They were the same group as that day!
However, although this force was sudden, it could not threaten the defense of Hogwarts - the opponent's surprise attack was too rough and was useless except for its timing.
They had long thought about what the other party might choose to do, so they had made arrangements early - the entire stand emitted a burst of light, which included the innocent students, while the attackers were
Light restricts movement.
The returnees would not use such a crude plan - Professor McGonagall thought with a frown.
Hearing the professor's reminder, Aurelius carefully approached with his wand raised, and he was quickly dealing with all the invading enemies.
Aberforth, on the other hand, walked quickly towards the referee's stand.
Sherlock and Colton were relieved to see reinforcements arriving, but they did not lower their vigilance - they had already promised Sean to protect the safety of the Wallop family.
The attackers fell down one by one, but the students were frightened, and many wanted to flee - a group of Durmstrang students were near them, and they came closer while escaping.
"You can go from the other side." Colton raised his wand. He knew that Durmstrang's students were unreliable.
The group of students looked at each other and finally chose to leave from the other side.
Colton and Sherlock stared at the group of students, but at this moment, the Beauxbatons students behind them suddenly made a commotion!
Several students suddenly rushed towards the Wallops like crazy.
The opponent didn't even take out his wand? Although Colton and Sherlock were confused, they still performed their tasks. Professor Flitwick showed no mercy, and the students who rushed towards him were knocked unconscious by the spell.
No need for magic spells, are these people under control...
A Beauxbatons boy fell heavily in front of them, and then showed a crazy smile that made people shudder.
"Tell Wallop you learned this from him."
A round thing rolled out of his arms, the tab on it was pulled open, and a puff of green smoke came out.
"what……"
------------------
"Boom--" A slight explosion sounded, and Sean and others in the maze turned their heads.
"It seems like the edge of the maze? You can't hear clearly. The stone walls are all cast with magic that weakens the sound." Daisy frowned and said.
"Maybe it's the Blast-Ended Skrewt. I hope it's someone from Durmstrang who blew up." Sean smiled, then led the way and continued walking forward.
After giving a massage to a grumpy Acromantula that didn't want to be persuaded, Sean and the others bypassed the side road and walked into a new aisle.
"Ah -" Daisy covered her mouth with the scream that almost came out.
Sean's eyes slowly turned cold.
There were many bodies lying on the corridor.
The Wallops fell in the center with their faces covered in blood, and the petite figure protected by them did not move at all. Next to them, Hermione was bleeding from all the orifices and her face was ashen.
There are also Daisy and Stephanie who are pale and have lost all their color.
"Even though I know it's a Boggart, I still hate it." Sean raised his wand.
