Chapter 693: Between 2 points, the shortest straight line!
When all the spectators on the paddock were all there, McGonagall walked over here with four patrol members, and said with a solemn expression.
"During the game, we will always patrol the outside of the maze. If you encounter difficulties in the game and want to be rescued, you will shoot red sparks into the sky, and we will come to help as soon as possible."
"But firing the flames means that the Warriors give up a thorough game. The specific weighing is up to you!" Bagman added.
Ivan and the others nodded together.
"Okay, let's start the official game now!" Bagman cleared his throat and blessed himself with a loud curse with his wand, then looked at the crowd on the stage and shouted loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the last match of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin! I'll report the current score!"
"First of all, Ivan Hals, the warrior of Hogwarts, who cleared the game with full marks and currently has a total of 100 points!"
After Bagman's voice fell, there was a warm applause in the paddock. Ivan gestured to the surroundings with restraint, and several friends were beckoning to him under his glance.
"Then Mr. Harry Potter! He ranked second with a good score of 82 points!" Bagman continued yelling.
The applause in the audience rang again, and when Bagman talked about Fleur and Krum, the cheers suddenly became much smaller. Only Boothbarton and Demstrang wizards were present in the audience. Applause desperately.
After Bagman fully mobilized the audience's atmosphere, he reached out to Ivan and spoke.
"Now... please prepare the warrior Ivan Hals and listen to my whistle action!"
"Three...two...one, start!" Bagman counted loudly.
With a short whistle, Ivan rushed into the maze first.
Although the first two games have won him a lot of advantages, in order to ensure the victory of the game, the time to get the Goblet of Fire is naturally the sooner the better, so as to avoid any baskets in the middle.
Not to mention that he still needs some time to check whether there is a problem with the Goblet of Fire, so after rushing into the maze, Ivan quickly explored without any delay.
However, Ivan soon discovered that the entire maze was bigger than he had imagined, and it was dark and scary. Only tall hedges could be seen all around. Entering it was like being separated from the outside world. The audience was enthusiastic. The cheers and applause stopped abruptly, probably because of some soundproof magic blessed.
"Lumos~ (fluorescence flashing Ivan waved his wand, a ray of light lit up from the top of the wand, spreading in all directions.
After traveling for about fifty steps, Ivan suddenly noticed that there was a fork in the road ahead, which was divided into two passages, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Left or right?" Ivan hesitated.
Once you choose the wrong one, it may take a lot of time to get around.
So Ivan didn't choose either, instead he set his sights on the huge hedge in front of him.
"I remember what's the shortest between two points?" Ivan touched his chin. He remembered that Bagman didn't seem to say that he couldn't break it when he read the rules.
"Of course it is the shortest straight line! Reducto~" Ivan tapped his finger lightly, his wand pointed forward, and a crimson light beam passed by, and the harsh roar sounded.
When the dust cleared, there was an irregular gap in the tall hedge in front of him. Ivan clenched his wand and walked directly in through the gap, followed by another harsh explosion.
Since he couldn't find the right way, he just made one!
"Violation, this is a serious violation!" On the judges stand outside the stadium, Karkaroff looked at the picture displayed by the crystal ball, patted the table angrily, and shouted.
Dumbledore, who also watched this scene, was also very helpless. Obviously following the regular process, Ivan would definitely be able to win the championship, but he happened to think of some crooked ideas every time.
"Strictly speaking, there is no mandatory requirement in the game that the players cannot break these hedges, Karkaroff..." Dumbledore explained in a deep voice, "You should be aware that a special reinforcement spell has been cast on this. Ordinary wizards want to destroy it, it takes a lot of time and energy, and it is no easier than going through a maze!"
Having said this, Dumbledore paused and looked at the crystal ball floating high in the sky, and continued to speak. "And I think... Mr. Hals will soon pay for his actions!"
Karkaroff and Maxim were dubious, and when they looked up, they saw that the form in the maze had changed.
Ivan's irritable behavior of opening the way with magic was like awakening the entire silent maze, and monsters in the dark emerged from every corner.
"Diffindo~ (split to pieces Ivan waved his wand, killed a giant spider that was trying to attack him with the splitting curse, and then pointed the wand at the opening that had just been blasted out.
One by one, the long crab feet came in through the opening, and after the thing got out, Ivan discovered that it was a huge fried snail with a length of several meters.
It looks like a combination of a giant scorpion and a weird crab. Its hard and heavy shell is full of hideous barbs. What is even more terrifying is that a hot flame suddenly spurted from the tail of this snail. The powerful propulsion force made the snails smashed over quickly like a long thorn iron ball.
There is almost no way to escape in the narrow maze aisle~www.mtlnovel.com~ Ivan inspired the ring of magic power at the moment when the snails collided with the tail snails, and then only took advantage of the strength to jump up, and the 17 magic words on the bracelet were instantly Lighted up, a shock wave of magic power took his body to avoid the impact of the snails.
The huge size of the snails couldn’t hold back at all. After being evaded by Ivan, they ran into the hedge behind. Several sharp crab feet plunged deeply into the cracks in the wall, half of their body was full. Got stuck.
Of course, Ivan would not let this opportunity pass, waving his wand was a smashing curse hitting it.
The huge hard shell of the snails was stronger than he had imagined. After eating a spell, the hard shell just cracked open, but the snails were still alive and kicking.
However, the cracking of the hard shell broke a certain balance. Just when the snails burst into flames again, the whole body suddenly exploded, and the sky was raining blood everywhere.
"What kind of strange creature is this?"
Ivan looked at the hard shells and minced meat all over the floor and shook his head. It seemed that the deep-fried snails cultivated by Hagrid still needed improvement.
