Rubik’s Cube of Heavens

Chapter 119: Test

Chapter 119: Test

George and Fred had a sense of propriety when doing things. They were brave when they should be brave, and when they should be careful, they would be careful.

Unlike the three main characters in the original work, they quarreled loudly in front of the sleeping Three-Headed Dog. In the end, they caused the dog to wake up.

At this moment, the two twins carefully controlled Three-Headed Dog to move with a spell. Finally, when Three-Headed Dog landed again, its body did not even tremble.

At this time, the door that was originally under Three-Headed Dog was completely exposed. Coven went forward and pulled it open, revealing the dark cellar.

There was no light in the cellar at all. The completely dark space was like an abyss that devoured people, making people unable to help but feel a sense of retreat.

However, Coven knew the details, and the twins were qualified explorers', so the three of them did not have any fear. After looking at each other, they each added a slowing charm*' on their bodies. Then they jumped into the cellar one after another.

[*TL Note: The Slowing Charm (Arresto Momentum) was a charm that could be used to slow the velocity of an object.]

After falling for about ten meters, the feeling of a stomp came from their feet, and at the same time, a buffer force made the three of them stop.

"What is it?"

As George spoke, he raised his hand and released a Fluorescent Charm', which shone under his feet.

After seeing the black vine-like plant net under his feet, George suddenly said, "Is this Devil's Snare*?"

[*TL Note: Devil's Snare was a magical plant with the ability to constrict or strangle anything in its surrounding environment or something that happened to touch it.]

"I think so," Fred said after identifying them.

Just as Coven was about to speak, the Devil's Snare suddenly began to shriek and squirm under their feet. Some branches quickly imprisoned their legs and climbed up, quickly imprisoning their bodies.

"It's confirmed!"

Fred was not nervous at all. Instead, he was enjoying the feeling of being bound by the Devils Snare. He said, "That's right, this thing is the Devils Snare!"

"Then how do we do it?" George asked, "Hold on or use sunlight?"

"It's as bright as day."

Coven directly took action. Although his limbs had been restrained by the Devil's Snare, and thus he could not take out his wand, he only needed to cast a spell without a wand.

The next moment, Coven's fingertips suddenly turned into a strong flashlight, and a ray of sunlight suddenly shone on the Devil's Snare.

As if they had been scalded, the Devils Snare immediately released the three of them, causing their bodies to quickly fall down.

"Ouch!"

The twins were unprepared, so after falling more than two meters, they came into contact with the ground, losing their balance and falling down.

Coven was already prepared, but he landed easily, reached out, and pulled the two twins up.

As he patted the dust behind his butt, George looked up at the Devil's Snare, then turned around and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a secret room here."

Fred echoed, "Yes, I thought we had already explored all the secrets in the castle."

This time, Coven took out his wand and used it to cast a Fluorescent Charm' to illuminate the surroundings.

This was because if this spell was cast without a wand, it would be fine for a short time. However, after a long time, it would cause a burning sensation in the fingers.

He looked around and pointed to the only passage to greet the twins. "Let's go. We will continue."

Hearing this, the twins raised their wands to guard. After going through the two checkpoints, Three-Headed Dog and Devil's Snare, they already understood that this place was not safe.

After walking through a long dark passage and opening a wooden door, the three of them entered a hall with a very high ceiling. A faint moonlight fell from the skylight, making the room feel hazy and cold.

There were many keys with insect wings floating in the air in the hall. The flapping of wings formed a wave. At the same time, there was a very old flying broom suspended in the middle of the hall.

The three of them quickly checked the entire room. Fred could not help but laugh, "What is this level? Do we need to ride the broom to catch the key?"

"Leave it to me!" George said and turned to the broom.

He said proudly, "How can this trouble a Quidditch player like me?"

"There's no need to go through so much trouble." Coven did not want to waste time. After shaking his head slightly, he extinguished the Fluorescent Charm' on the tip of his wand. Then, he pointed at the hundreds of keys in the air and silently cast the Group Containment Charm'.

However, the effect of Coven's spell this time was not enough. Although the spell hit all the keys, it could not imprison the keys.

After being triggered by the spell, the hundreds of keys in the air suddenly turned and pointed the key at Coven. Then they flapped their wings and rushed down like a rain of arrows.

"Group imprisonment!"

When Coven saw this, he hurriedly began to remedy the situation and chanted the incantation in a low voice. At the same time, he threw his arm into the air and cast another spell.

This time, the casting was very standard. There was no Silent' or No wand' skill that caused the effect of the spell to weaken. Therefore, the hundreds of keys in a dive were successfully fixed in the air by Coven.

"That was dangerous." Coven muttered in a low voice.

The twins also reacted at this time. George could not help but heave a sigh of relief. "You scared me."

On the other hand, Fred had already rushed to the wooden door leading to the next level. He aimed his wand at the door lock and fired an Unlocking Charm'.

However, the door lock only let out a slight click' sound, and it didnt open.

When Fred saw this, he said in surprise, "Why is it ineffective this time?"

Hearing this, Coven walked up to the wooden door and looked at it. Then, he said, "It's obvious that this is a test specially set up by Headmaster. The correct way to pass this test is just like what George said. You must ride a broom in the air and grab the correct door key."

Fred thought about it and realized that it was right. This forbidden area was obviously used to test someone. Otherwise, there was no need for the door at Three-Headed Dog's place to be able to open with Unlocking Charm'.

If he really intended to prevent people from entering, it would be better to make Unlocking Charm' lose effectiveness in Three-Headed Dog's test.

After thinking it through, Fred asked, "Then what should we do now? Can we only find the right one among so many keys?"

"I'll try."

Coven pointed his wand at the door lock and then recited Unlocking Charm in a deep voice.

With a light crack, the strength of Coven's spell this time was obviously not enough to open the door lock.

However, Coven did not give up. He was brewing a strong emotion in his heart, and then he shouted, "Open the lock!"

Crack!

The door lock rang softly, and the handle turned on its own. Then, the wooden door automatically opened a gap.

"Wow!" Fred exclaimed in a low voice. He smiled and said, "Well done, Coven. You saved us a lot of time."

Seeing this, George also gave up the plan to ride a broom and quickly walked over.

"Let's go. Let's continue to the next level." Coven said as he pushed open the wooden door
