Chapter 243 Voldemort's Plan, The Game Begins (Please Subscribe!)
"Okay guys, let's get back to the game.
Dumbledore said with a loud voice, "I've arranged for people to patrol the perimeter of the maze."
"If a player wants to quit the game, then the player only needs to use the wand to shoot red sparks into the sky, and the staff will take them out of the maze."
After announcing the rules of the game, Dumbledore turned to the four warriors from the three schools.
He said: "Players, please come here now."
The four came up to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore said in a voice only four of them could hear: "There will be no dragons in the maze, no monsters of the deep, but you will face greater challenges.
"Once you step into the maze, the terrain of the maze will start to change. All you have to do is try to find the trophy."
"Of course, you should also pay attention to safety. After all, you may lose yourself during the journey.
Having said that, Dumbledore looked at Harry.
Of the four, Dumbledore was most worried about Harry.
With Zicomo around, it wasn't Hermione's turn to worry.
As for Krum and Fleur, they would not be Voldemort's targets.
As for Harry, Dumbledore only knew so far that Voldemort planned to attack him.
Other than that, he knew nothing about Voldemort's plans.
Oh yes, he also knew that Harry's name was supposed to be the Goblet of Fire thrown by that fake Moody.
This is the conclusion Dumbledore deduced after Zicomo's 06 reminder and found that 'Moody' was someone else pretending to be.
But knowing this is of no use.
If Dumbledore had known in advance, then he could have prevented Harry from becoming a champion.
It's a pity that the Triwizard Tournament is now in its final round, and it's too late to say anything.
Zicomo had told Dumbledore that Voldemort would most likely move his eyes when they were most relaxed.
Dumbledore thought it made sense, so he speculated that the day when Voldemort shot Harry should be in these few days.
One is because the students will be on vacation in a few days. When Harry returned to his aunt's house, then Voldemort would have no chance to make a move.
The second is because after the Triwizard Tournament is over, everyone is most relaxed. If Voldemort wants to attack Harry, then is the best time.
It has to be said that Dumbledore guessed right, Voldemort's plan was indeed to deal with Harry after the game.
It's just that Voldemort's plan for the end of the game, Bullido's understanding is different than the end of Black.
The end of the match that Voldemort had planned was counted from the moment Harry touched the Triwizard Cup.
To be precise, it was a Portkey shaped like a Triwister Cup.
Considering the uncertain factor of Hermione, who is very likely to win the championship, Barty Crouch Jr. did not choose to directly replace the Triwizard Cup with the Portkey.
Instead, the Triwizard Cup and the Portkey were placed in two positions in the maze.
At that time, Barty Crouch Jr. only needs to give Harry a little guidance, let Harry walk to the Portkey, and he will be able to complete the task Voldemort gave him.
Fortunately, the magic photo stone sponsored by Zicomo did not completely cover the entire maze, and there were still some invisible corners.
Otherwise, when the audience sees that there are two Triwizard Cups in the maze, it will be a lot of fun.
However, the magic photo stone still caused some obstacles to Barty Crouch Jr. after all.
With this thing in place, he couldn't do anything himself to lead Harry to the Portkey.
The only way to get Harry to go to where he placed the Portkey was indirectly through various traps in the maze.
This undoubtedly greatly increased the uncertainty, and Barty Crouch Jr. could only ask his master to keep Yuichi safe.
"Warriors, please get ready!"
When the warriors from each school took their positions at the entrance of the maze, Dumbledore announced: "I'll count to three,
"boom!"
Before Dumbledore could finish counting, the cannon sounded, symbolizing the beginning of the old age.
Dumbledore looked in Filch's direction with some resentment, and the fort that announced the start of the game was always controlled by Filch.
After three games, none of them started normally.
Filch shrugged at Dumbledore, saying that this time it really had nothing to do with him.
He didn't even touch the fort in front of him, it fired by itself.
Dumbledore couldn't say anything more, he waved his hand, indicating that the four warriors could start the competition.
Although the four warriors enter the hedge maze in order according to their rankings, in fact, there is no difference even if they enter at the same time.
Because they all enter from different entrances, and the maze will start to change once they enter.
For example, after Hermione entered the maze, the hedges on both sides of the entrance merged.
When Harry walked into the maze, he glanced back, and 'Moody' took this opportunity to cryptically gesture to the left.
Seeing this, Harry nodded to Moody.
After the hedge covered the entrance, he decisively turned his head to the right.
After Dumbledore found out that this 'Moody' was pretending to be someone else, he specially reminded Harry to be careful to guard against 'Moody'
Although this semester, 'Moody' has taken good care of Harry.
But in comparison, Harry still trusted Dumbledore more.
What's more, Zicomo once said that this Moody "has a problem.
So Harry was already wary of 'Moody'.
For the hint given by 'Moody', Harry did not follow, but chose the diametrically opposite direction.
I don't know how 'Moody' will feel if he sees this scene.
Fortunately, 'Moody' still had a backhand, and he used the Imperius Curse to control Krum before the game started.
With Krum's hand, he can also drive Harry to the front of the Lord.
The camera pans to Hermione.
Although the hedge maze is constantly changing, finding the right path is no difficult problem for Hermione.
Hermione took out her wand and whispered, "Show me the way.
A blue tassel emerged from the tip of her wand and slowly floated forward.
What the tassel pointed out was the correct path of the labyrinth.
Hermione walked briskly in the maze, completely different from the other three warriors who looked tense and tense.
It was as if she had entered not some dangerous maze, but a walk in her back garden.
Just when Hermione reached a crossroad, a dementor suddenly jumped out from Hermione's left side.
Hermione reacted quickly, and threw a 'shock guard' into the dementor's face.
The dementor suffered from pain, and quickly fled in the direction it came from.
This understatement of Hermione's behavior was seen by the audience through the magic photo stone.
Although Hermione couldn't hear her at this time, there was still warm applause from the audience.
Zicomo didn't react too much. Solving the dementors was just a trivial matter for Hermione, so there was no need to get too excited.
On the contrary, it was the appearance of the dementor that surprised Zicomo.
He didn't expect that Fudge would dare to put dementors in Hogwarts after the incident of dementors attacking students last semester.
It seems that in order to prove that the Ministry of Magic led by him is not incompetent, Fudge is also working hard.
As it is now, the maze is surrounded by Ministry of Magic staff.
They patrolled around the maze just to make sure nothing happened to the four warriors participating in the competition.
But their guarantees are useless.
At this time, Fleur has been eliminated by Krum controlled by 'Moody'.
Fortunately, the main purpose of 'Moody' now is to lead Harry in the direction of the Portkey.
He didn't want to kill Fu Rong directly, not wanting to cause trouble. 640
Otherwise, the entire British Ministry of Magic would definitely be blacklisted by Beauxbatons, and Madam Maxim's beating of Fudge would be light.
'Moody' controlled Krum and after stunned Fleur, threw Fleur into the hedge of the maze.
These hedges seem to be alive, they stretch out branches from the rhizomes, wrapping the hibiscus around them.
Fortunately, there is a magic photo stone at this location to record this scene, otherwise, maybe no one will find out where Fu Rong is until the end of the game.
Looking at Harry again, what he encountered was a magical animal bred by Hagrid——a fried-tailed snail.
Although this thing is only about fifteen centimeters in size, its level of danger is somewhere between a manticore and a fire crab.
They're like shelled lobsters, and they're still headless. The appearance is between a scorpion and a crab.
Many feet protruded from their feet in a haphazard manner, and there was a smell of rotten fish and rotten shrimp all over their bodies.
This thing not only sucks human blood, but also shoots flames from its tail.
And they can also use the flames to propel and sprint, and with the spikes erected all over their bodies, their lethality can be called terrifying.
No, the moment Harry saw the snail, the snail rushed towards Harry.
And in the process, the Skret also used flame jets, and its speed was even a bit faster than the golden snitch caught by Harry in the Quidditch match.
Fortunately, Harry was prepared for this, he sideways avoided the impact of the snail, and then raised his hand towards the rear, and a thunderbolt exploded
Hagrid once told him that the only thing defenseless about a snail is its unprotected belly.
When the snail rushed behind Harry, it happened to have its belly facing Harry.
Taking this opportunity, Harry cast a spell to send the snail back to hell. .
