Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"...then, the last one! The task that the champions are about to challenge is to recapture some of the most precious treasures for them in this huge thorny maze!"

“Yes, they have to find the treasure that belongs to them and bring them out of the maze!”

"Everyone listens, our champion has been all there! I whistle, the second task will officially start! They have a full three hours to find the most correct path for them. Now, I count to three ......"

"one two Three!"

The sharp whistle screamed in the cold, still air, and a burst of cheers and applause broke out in the stands. And the long-awaited Triwizard Tournament second task - the journey of the thorny maze, has finally begun!

Just as the whistle just sounded, the four champions broke into four different entrances. Everyone's speed is very fast, because this time is limited, they have not continued to linger at the entrance.

The so-called "most precious treasure", for the four champions, is actually very clear.

Because in their respective nephews, in addition to the one-eighth-sized map, there is a delicate magic card. If someone picks it up, it will show up an item on someone who has a good impression on the holder.

According to Marx, one of the main functions should be the application of “name magic power”, which has many similar gadgets in the magic what a joke store.

Perhaps, Dumbledore is simply not using the props in the Zoco store to make changes.

And the Marx card shows a small carrot earring - the answer is clear, Luna should be waiting for him in a corner of the maze now!

Marx didn't hesitate, he quickly walked through the maze, and sometimes he extended out of wand and waved it, blocking a thorny tentacles from the wall of the thorns to his back.

It was a kind of dark green, with a sharp spiked tentacle. They are not the same as Devil's Snare, which has a very poor dispel effect on them, because it is not easy to ignite them.

On the surface of their tentacles, they are usually covered with a fine layer of stratum corneum. In addition to fire protection, the resistance to cutting is also quite good. About three centuries ago, the wizards often used them to protect their homes.

It’s just that this kind of doom is now rare, and I don’t know where Dumbledore got so big.

“Speaking, throwing a Fiendfyre bottle in this place should work well.”

The doom thorn is also a magic plant, and the degree of danger is quite high. The Ministry of Magic once classified it into the “xxxx” classification. It was only because they were getting fewer and fewer, and they finally fell to the next level.

But as long as you don't go with them and pay attention to your body, in the current day, their danger will be much lower.

There are so many roads in the labyrinth, and the arrangement is disorganized. When Marx walked along a wall for a while, he discovered that the labyrinth must have been set up with a number of independent walls that were not connected to each other.

If he always walks along a wall, I am afraid that he can only walk in the outer circle of the labyrinth. The map fragment in his hand is undoubtedly a certain area closer to the center.

Since it is impossible to do it, he can only first explore the way according to intuition.

Marx walked cautiously and used the wand against the back of the map to record the route he had traveled in real time. From time to time, he had to keep the thorns tentacles away.

In order to maintain speed, he must be as useful as possible - this is not a very simple matter for Marx.

Soon, when he turned a corner again, he suddenly opened up a lot.

This is a small open space in the maze. Except for the exit when he came here, there is no more access around the open space - this is a dead end.

However, why do you want to leave a small open space here? This can easily lead to suspicion.

"The human form is now."

Wand pointed forward that a burst of magic power fluctuated, but did not show any reaction.

"Malicious perception."

Another burst of magic power fluctuations spread quietly, Marx stood firmly at the only exit, waiting calmly, but still did not receive feedback.

He can't help but frown, considering whether to put it here first, and then explore the road.

“The last time,” Marx thought as he meditated, “God.”

Suddenly, the sound of the wind whizzing over the labyrinth, the friction of the thorns around the thorns, the biological activity of the labyrinth, and even the various smells were quickly intertwined, forming a mind in his mind. A clear stereo perception.

There is indeed something moving in this open space, the speed is very slow, is a kind of creature that relies on two feet to walk - there is breathing sound, there is a slight friction sound when walking, but the contour is not perceived.

In addition, Marx smelled a fresh grassy smell.

"In that position..." Marx suddenly bought a small step to the left, accurately avoiding the thorny tentacles that sneaked from behind, and wand pointed to a certain position in the open space.

"Specialis Revelio !"

As Marx's spells read, the position pointed by his tip suddenly dimmed, and a creature resembling a stunned figure showed his figure.

Unlike ordinary monks, the eyes of this creature are completely dark, just like the inlaid two round jade in its eyelids, with a faint glow.

Because his stealth effect was suddenly broken, it made it look very flustered. It looked around, kept squatting, as far as possible from the Marx side.

But it quickly found out that there was no other way out.

"Invisible beast?"

Marx whispered softly in his mouth, and at the same time a fire flashed silently from the tip to the creature, and the speed was exceptional.

It can be seen that this creature is not good at fighting. It didn't even react, and it was hit by Marx's silent Stunning Spell.

The other side fell down without any suspense and fell into syncope.

Marx stepped forward and flipped it over. A small envelope was found behind the invisible beast, with a different labyrinth map fragment.

He hesitated, and glanced at the direction of the audience subconsciously, and finally turned and left.

"Unfortunately, the skin of the invisible beast is not cheap..."

Although the wall of the labyrinth is set high, here after all is an open space, if he dares to peel it off on the spot, it is estimated that it is not just deduct points.

Just then, there was a sudden explosion in the distance, followed by a female child's scream. If Marx is not mistaken, it should be the voice of Fleur · Delacour.

It seems that other people can be so lucky without him, only to encounter a gentle herbivorous creature of character.

Although the classification level of the invisible beast is very high, it is mainly because its invisible effect is really good. It can be said that the value of its fur is enough to make it rank "xxxx".

However, Marx's good fortune can only be here.

Although it is not very bad for him, how can it be so powerful, and it will take time to solve it?

When he followed the original route and re-selected a road to move on, he found that the labyrinth without the obstruction was gradually covered by a dark mist.

The light was blocked above the fog and the surrounding environment became darker.

In this case, the sneak attack of the doom is becoming more dangerous - only if the environment is dark enough, only if they are large enough, their danger will be greatly improved, and they are truly a dangerous name. A magic creature of the "xxxx" class.

And in this case, another problem is blocked in front of Marx...

It was a long, straight path, and as Marx moved forward carefully, he found the movement again. From the beginning, the gand of glory has been exiled to make an incomparably strange monster appear in the dark.

Its body is like a big horrible lion - the huge claws, the long tail of yellow, and the gray hair on the tip of the tail make it more like a lion.

But it has a woman's head!

"Sphinx?"

As Marx approaches slowly, it points its narrow almond eye to Marx.

Then, it didn't squat down and was ready to pounce on it, but just walked around to stop him. Then it spoke, and the voice was low and hoarse.

"You can get closer to your goal, and the quickest way is to get the most accurate tips from me -"

“Hurry up and tell your riddle...” Marx’s thorny tentacles, which will become active, are again blocked and urged.

"Yes, riddle..." It squats gracefully in place. "One guess - I will let you pass; no guessing - I will pounce on it; don't answer - I will let you go away Don't hurt you."

"Yes, let's talk!" Marx waved.

The Sphinx was slightly nodded, and it sat in the middle of the passage, screaming:

"Think about what is going up and down, it will accompany you, go together..."

"Let's say something never lie, it tells you, the real illusion..."

"When you step forward with them, you will understand the gaps in life and understand the old days."

After seeing these words, Sphinx closed his eyes and stopped moving. Marx couldn't help but shoot his forehead.

"I knew that the riddle of this stuff was not reliable. Who knows that it is more vague than Trelawny's prophecy..." He sighed, and he had to keep his thorns touching his hands and thinking hard.

The three sentences that Sphinx said at the end of the chapter are actually a combined riddle. Marx has let him try for a while, and everyone can guess the next chapter before updating (hint: the first two sentences are separate riddles, and the three sentences together are a riddle).
