Although Xie Lin seems to have cracked this level easily and simply, that is actually because Xie Lin's strength has far exceeded that of most people in the wizarding world. Even the most elite and top Auror in the Ministry of Magic would not be a match for Schelling.
The person who set this level probably didn't expect that Xie Lin, who was still a fourth-year student at school, would have such strength.
Without mentioning others, just take the protagonist in the original work as an example.
Putting Harry Potter in Schelling's place, according to his performance in passing through the golden mist in the original work, he just threw out a crushing spell as a test. After seeing that the crushing spell had no effect, he did not hesitate to do anything. If not, just rush straight into the golden mist. Fortunately, the golden mist will only turn the world where the intruder is standing upside down. Its purpose is purely to test the courage of the intruder. As long as he bravely continues to step forward, the magic will be automatically unlocked.
If Harry was still so reckless in the face of this fog and rushed into the attack range of the sword-leaf palm trees——
It is foreseeable that his end will not be too happy.
After passing this level, Xie Lin's journey became smooth sailing. He once again summoned a group of magical voles to explore the path ahead for him. With their innate intuition of the maze, they could choose the optimal route to the end when encountering a fork in the road.
"The road behind is actually unobstructed. It seems -" Xie Lin walked quickly with no expression on his face, but there was an astonishing coldness in his gray pupils, "Those people probably didn't expect that I could get through the sword leaf." Where’s the Palm level…”
After killing a forest monster at a corner in less than a minute, Xie Lin saw a faint light emitting from the end of the path ahead. Xie Lin finally reached the end -
The end point is an irregular octagonal space surrounded by multi-faceted hedges. There are many dark and gloomy intersections between hedges, indicating that there is more than one path to get here, but the route chosen by Schelling is undoubtedly the most optimized and time-consuming. shortest--
It must be noted here that the field mouse pathfinding tactic used by Schelling is the most effective, which is much more effective than the "directional spell" used by Harry in the original book and many other fan protagonists. The directional spell can only make the wand point north. It has the same principle as a compass. It allows the user to quickly identify the direction and choose the most likely route to the end.
For example, Harry entered the maze from the southeast entrance, and the end point was northwest of him. Being able to recognize the north helps him deduce which branch is more likely to be correct.
However, anyone who has played a maze game knows that straight-line distance is not equal to travel distance, because the design of the maze can completely make you find that after a long circle, you will find a dead end, all your previous efforts will be wasted, and you will have to waste time and go back. Start over. What's more, according to Schelling's experience, this magic maze is alive, and the hedges inside are constantly moving, which increases the difficulty of traveling.
In the original work, if there is no secret help from someone, just relying on the directional spell and magic to reach the end smoothly is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Xie Lin himself was the first warrior to enter the maze. If Xie Lin hadn't wasted a lot of time at the sword-leaf palm tree, he was almost certain that he would have been the first to reach the end. Now -
On the contrary, he couldn't be too sure.
After all, if Harry had someone secretly helping him, he would most likely reach the finish line before him. Don't forget, Harry's journey will only be smoother than what is described in the original book. In the original book, Harry still had to escape from the Blast-Ended Skrewt and rescue Cedric from Krum——
With the bomb-tailed snail dying in his own hands and the two female warriors exiting early, these two plots should have been omitted in this world.
One hundred meters in front of Schelling, the Triwizard Trophy was placed on a pedestal about one foot high, shining with an alluring light.
The Goblet of Fire is still there!
Harry is nowhere to be seen!
Victory is at hand.
As soon as Xie Lin took a step forward, he stopped and stood still.
According to the many routines Xie Lin had seen in his previous life, the closer it gets to the last moment, the easier it is to overturn. Because people always let down their guard at the moment closest to victory, and that moment is often the beginning of tragedy.
Xie Lin's Divine Peeping Amaterasu is activated at full power, and not even a small insect on the grass can escape his observation within a few dozen feet.
Schelling slowly pointed the wand not far to the right.
At the same time, four strange black shadows appeared on the ground in the four directions in front, back, left and right of Xie Lin. The shadows seemed to be human-shaped, but there were fine short spikes on the edges, like a human being covered with thorns. .
"Interesting-" Xie Lin said softly, "Shadow of the Dragon?"
Where Xie Lin pointed, the camouflage created by the Disillusionment Curse slowly receded, revealing a thin figure with a wooden leg.
It's Crazy Eyes Moody.
It was within Xie Lin's expectation, but also a little beyond Xie Lin's expectation.
"Awesome!" Crazy Eyes Moody's voice was frighteningly cold. "With my Disguise Charm, even Dumbledore can't easily lock my position in such a dark corner. It seems like you have something wrong with your kid. There are a lot of secrets..."
"Barty Crouch Jr., it is indeed you..." A gleam flashed in Xie Lin's eyes, but he pretended to smile lightly. "I have to say, your methods are much better than I thought... Those snails, magic-breaking arrow crossbowmen, sword-leaf palm trees and so on were all caused by you, right?"
"It's incredible..." Little Barty clicked his tongue twice, and said with some lingering meaning: "Although I have tried my best to overestimate your strength... I still didn't expect that you could actually break through the blood-changing monsters and broken monsters carefully arranged by the organization. The three levels of Magic Arrow and Divine Sword Palm, it seems that the master is really foresight... How did you practice? Is your strength almost as good as that of the Magister?"
Xie Lin did not comment, but asked casually: "Where is Harry? Logically speaking, since I have been delayed for so long, he should be here long ago, right? Couldn't he be killed by you?"
"It's not impossible to tell you, anyway, you will be with him soon -" Even with the state of mind of Barty Crouch Jr., he could not help but feel proud at this moment, and said: "Harry - - He has gone to where he should be - my master is coming back soon... Hahaha..." After saying that, he laughed wildly to himself, his eyes full of madness.
Looking at little Barty's smug face, it seemed that Harry had really been succeeded by him.
Well, since the Goblet of Fire is still there, it means that he found other ways to transport Harry out. To be able to do this under the eyes of the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore would never be possible through simple methods such as Apparition and Portkeys.
The Apparition ban may be cracked, but not without alerting Dumbledore; similarly, it is not difficult to create a brand new Portkey, but it is impossible to do so without the Ministry of Magic's nationwide detection. .
Xie Lin asked himself, if it were him to do the task of "transporting Harry out of Hogwarts silently" today, would he be able to do it? the answer is--
It can be done. There are thousands of magics in this world, and not all magics have the means to be detected. For example, the disappearing cabinet is an example.
The method of making a disappearing cabinet has been lost, but if the opponent is the Shadow of the Dragon, a black witch from thousands of years ago, it doesn't seem strange to know how to make a disappearing cabinet. Then, here comes a new question. It is Voldemort who needs Harry's blood to resurrect. Why did the Shadow of the Dragon capture Harry? Unless...
A rather terrifying possibility occurred to Schelling.
"Since your target is Harry, and you have succeeded..." Xie Lin shook his head and asked with some confusion on his face: "Then why are you still blocking me here? Just to show off to me?"
Schelling had a reason for asking.
Only the four participating warriors are allowed to enter the maze of the Triwizard Tournament. For the sake of fairness and to avoid suspicion of cheating, the four patrol members standing outside the maze can only enter the maze for rescue when they see red sparks.
Little Barty's appearance here should be under the pretext of rescuing the two female warriors, so that he can come in openly. However, if he stays in the maze for too long, it will inevitably arouse other people's suspicion of him. You know Dumbledore is in the audience at this moment, and he is not easy to fool.
