Because he didn't know in advance that the third project was taking place in the castle, Jon didn't bring the Marauder's Map with him.
Otherwise, he would have actually discovered the whole process of Diane's elimination by now.
But then again, even if he knew it in advance, it would be a problem to avoid the screening before the game with the Marauder's Map.
After Jon searched the entire second floor, he stopped in a Charms classroom and began to calmly rethink the puzzle left on the candle with the Sorting Hat.
"If this essence refers to the classroom, the scope is too wide. It is already three o'clock, and we have just finished searching the second floor. If we want to search the entire castle, it will take at least a day and a night. If
The middle warrior and the warrior met again midway, and what happened would further delay the time. The game lasted so long that the students in the castle had to stay outside all the time, and they couldn't guarantee that the classroom would be
Where the trophy will be hidden in the end, and when the competition will end is far from certain.”
After Jon analyzed it carefully, he continued.
"So, I think the answer should not be the classroom, but a specific place."
The Sorting Hat groaned.
"[The essence of a school], what else is the essence of this school besides teaching and educating people?"
Jon thought for a moment, and then he said.
"The essence may not be wrong, but teaching and educating people is mainly used to transfer knowledge. Normally, a classroom is a place used to transfer knowledge. But now there are no professors and students in this school, so the classroom is just an empty space.
It’s just a house. If you think about it differently, besides getting knowledge from professors in school, there is actually another way——"
"library."
Jon stood up from his chair.
"Compared with the concept of classroom, the library is much clearer. There is no second library in the entire Hogwarts."
The Sorting Hat agrees with this.
"Maybe your feeling is right, we can go take a look."
Then Jon did not continue searching from classroom to classroom, but went straight down the stairs to the location of the Hogwarts library.
The door here is closed, but there are two armors guarding on both sides of the door.
After seeing those two pieces of armor, Jon couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"I remember that the library didn't seem to have these two armors before."
The Sorting Hat only said cautiously.
"Before I lost consciousness, I was sure there was no armor here. I don't know if it was added after that."
"I came here once two years ago, and the armors were not there yet. As for whether they were specially arranged by the referee, we will know if we try them for a while."
As Jon spoke, he stared at the two armors approaching the door of the library. When he was less than one meter away from the door, the motionless armors suddenly raised the knight's sword in their hands.
Stopped in front of Jon.
Jon was not frightened by their sudden movements, but instead raised his wand with a smile on his face.
"I remember when Mr. Graves read out the rules, he said that as long as the castle can be entered, there are no restrictions. In other words, these two things are actually a test. If you can beat it, it will be proved.
The library is open, but if you can't beat it, it's a restricted area."
After he finished speaking, he waved the wand in his hand, and at the same time, a spell sounded from his mouth.
"Thunderbolt explosion!"
At the same time, on the seventh floor of the castle, Emil and the wizard who had sneak-attacked Diane to get her out walked out of the principal's office with gloomy faces.
"Why can't we get such crucial information as the position of the Triwizard Cup?" Emil couldn't help but ask.
The wizard shook his head and said.
"Graves was also wary of people within the Federation. When he arranged the location of the trophy, he was personally responsible for it and did not tell anyone else. Besides, it doesn't matter even if we don't know where the Triwizard Cup is, as long as
If we can find Jon Green and deal with him, the Triwizard Cup will be in our hands sooner or later."
Emil asked next.
"So how do we find Jon Green? The castle is so big, it's not that easy to find. What's more, what kind of clues did he find? How many steps ahead of us is also a question. Maybe he won't find it before we can
By the time he got there, he had already gotten that trophy and ended the game?"
Just when the wizard was deep in thought about Emil's question, a sudden explosion instantly attracted the attention of both of them!
"You have lived in the castle for almost a year. Do you know where this sound came from?" The wizard's voice was slightly excited.
Emil also showed joy on his face.
"It's in the direction of the library!"
...
Solving these two armors didn't take Jon much effort.
They didn't look like they were going to fight with the players. Jon just used an ordinary blast to test the strength of the armor. They automatically gave up their duty to guard the library and blocked the door.
The sword in front of him was retracted, returning to his lifeless appearance.
This time Jon went to push open the library door without any hindrance. He easily pushed the door open and entered.
And just after he entered, the door closed on its own, and then candles were automatically lit, illuminating the room as wide as the auditorium.
Various books were neatly placed on the bookshelves, and the chairs and benches were neatly tidied up. It seemed that before the students and faculty were taken away from the castle, special personnel had cleaned all the areas.
Jon did not stop at the bookshelves on the outside. He walked along the long corridor after entering the door and walked deeper into the library, and finally came to a red line.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Further ahead is the forbidden book area. However, not a single forbidden book is left in the current Hogwarts library, and most of them have been included in Jon's ring.
Among them, a small part was transferred to the British Ministry of Magic by Voldemort.
Directly crossing the red line, Jon continued to move forward. Before he reached the end, a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a woman blocked his way.
This is a sphinx.
A magical animal from Egypt, it has always been used by wizards to guard their precious belongings and secret places. It is a very intelligent animal that loves riddles and word puzzles. It usually only becomes smart when what it is guarding is threatened.
It's dangerous. Anyone who wants to pass by it will be forced to guess a riddle, otherwise they will be attacked by it and eaten directly.
In the last game of the Triwizard Tournament in the original book, such a magical animal also appeared, and one was actually included in the Triwizard Tournament in this world.
But before the Sphinx could speak, Jon had already raised his wand and pointed it at it.
Without reciting the incantation, the tip of the staff began to light up with a miserable green light.
The sphinx clearly felt the deathly silence in the green light, and the mouth it was about to open subconsciously closed again.
Jon wasn't in the mood to guess with it here. He could solve the problem using the simplest and crudest method, so naturally he didn't need to use his brain.
"Get out of the way or die."
To be honest, the library is very unfavorable to the Sphinx. It is not small, and in this narrow space, it is almost impossible to dodge spells dexterously.
As for ordinary spells such as coma spells and petrification spells, it doesn't have to be afraid of Jon's threat at all. All high-level magical animals usually have a thick skin with a strong magic immunity effect.
But for the death curse, unless the skin is as thick as a fire dragon, no magical animal can withstand a shot like this.
The Sphinx is very smart, otherwise it wouldn't like to guess riddles. When it saw the green light on the tip of Jon's staff, it flashed aside and stared at Jon without making a sound.
Jon did not relax his vigilance. The wand in his hand was always pointed at the Sphinx, and he slowly passed by it. Just when Jon was about to completely pass by, a loud bang came from the door of the library.
Passed it over!
It was obviously a blasting spell, and it was much more powerful than Jon's previous converging spell!
Even the door of the library was shaken by the violent shock wave, and a lot of dust fell from the ceiling.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the sphinx suddenly jumped back from the narrow forbidden book area to the spacious study area of the library. The fierce woman's face was staring at Jon with eagerness.
The door to the library was also opened at this time, and two figures of roughly the same height walked in from a puff of smoke.
Jon clenched the wand in his hand, looked at the two figures, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Finally, the smoke dissipated, and the people who walked into the library revealed their true faces. One of them was naturally Emile Lestrange.
But the other person standing next to him made Jon's lips reveal a sarcasm.
"So in the end your method was to cheat so blatantly?"
Emil's father, Brandon Lestrange, who became the new head of the Lestrange family after Jon killed Rabastan, Rodolphus and Bella, said so straightforwardly
Standing in front of Jon.
Faced with Jon's question, Brandon seemed very unconcerned. He did not put down the wand in his hand, and pointed it at Jon with his son.
"Cheating is never shameful in the Triwizard Tournament. It is a tradition."
Jon looked at the father and son with cold eyes. Neither of them took action immediately. Jon was not afraid of anything, he always felt that things were not that simple.
It can be said that the original Lestrange family was wiped out by Jon alone. It is precisely because of this that Brandon now has the opportunity to rise to power with his son.
The father and son should know better than anyone what kind of threat he poses, so how could they confirm that a person like themselves, who can only be regarded as an unknown person among the Death Eaters, and a seventh-grade student are more powerful than anyone else?
Who is better, Bella and Rodolphus, two long-established dark wizards in the magical world?
Of course, Brandon had his own support. He stared closely at Jon, thinking that before the Triwizard Tournament officially started, Voldemort personally visited the Lestrange home. In addition to attending the meeting between Rodolphus and
In addition to Bella's funeral, he also personally told him the ultimate goal of their father and son in this game.
Kill Jon Green and get the Triwizard Cup.
As a warrior participating in the competition, Emil of course cannot use the killing curse to kill people, so the only person who can do it is Brandon.
As for how to get Brandon to intervene in this final game, Voldemort certainly has his own arrangements.
Now this arrangement worked, and Brandon had reached the critical moment to face Jon directly. At this time, without any hesitation or hesitation, Brandon waved the wand in his hand in the next second.
"Avada Kedavra!"
The miserable green light instantly illuminated the entire library, and the death curse struck directly at the place where Jon was standing!
At the same time as Brandon released the spell, Emil also completed perfect cooperation with his father. He also raised the wand at the same time, without chanting the spell, but directly aimed it at the position above Jon and silently released a stun.
curse.
They have all studied the magic that Jon has always relied on and know that he can fly, so their spells are mainly to seal the upper space of him!
Jon has no brains and will definitely use the levitating spell whenever he encounters a problem.
Although the banned books in the restricted book area were no longer there, the surrounding bookshelves were still neatly placed here. He ducked behind the bookshelf and escaped the joint attack of the Lestrange father and son.
Animagus did not allow him to successfully transform into any magical animal, but it strengthened his human body and reaction speed.
It is precisely because of this that Jon's actions actually become more agile compared to before.
After successfully dodging the killing curse and the stun curse, he did not fight back immediately. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at the end of the forbidden book area that the Sphinx originally blocked. There was no trophy placed there, just a door.
A wooden door that looks very ordinary on the outside.
After realizing that the game could not end in a short period of time, Jon focused all his attention on the Lestrange father and son.
He hid behind the bookshelf and pointed the wand at Brandon through the gaps in the many bookshelves.
"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"
The invisible sharp blade cut off a desk in front of Brandon in an instant, and at the same time aroused a light blue light barrier twenty centimeters in front of him.
After the Iron Armor Curse narrowly blocked Jon's spell, Brandon didn't hold anything back. He immediately took out a ring set with a black gemstone.
The next second, countless black mist spurted out from the ring!
