The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Scott stood in the circular stone chamber, with countless pure white giant arms interlaced and attacking from all directions, which looked extremely terrifying.

Facing an attack with almost no blind spots, Scott waved his hand to crack the spherical magic barrier that originally covered his whole body, only protecting his side and back.

At the same time, he waved his wand forward.

"Split into pieces."

The bright pink light of the cutting spell shot out from the tip of the wand.

As Scott turned his wrist, the beam was like an extremely sharp, long lightsaber, like a hot knife cutting butter, instantly cutting off countless white giant hands in front of him.

Bang! Bang!

Collisions continued to sound on his side and behind him.

The white giant hands kept hitting the magic barrier alternately, but they could never shake the transparent, thin layer of magic barrier.

Scott turned his body, and the cutting spell "light sword" in his hand and the magic barrier protecting his side and back moved with it.

When his body completely rotated a circle, all the white giant hands growing on the wall of the stone chamber were cut into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Then he swung his wand, and the "light sword" disappeared.

Just as he raised his foot and walked forward, the "remnants" that fell on the ground suddenly melted quickly like butter in a pan and disappeared without a trace.

Then, right in front of him, at the exit of the stone chamber, the walls on the left and right of the doorway bulged again.

Two larger arms grew out instantly.

The size of these two arms was like the sum of all the previous arms fused together.

If they were stretched straight, the length could completely cover the entire stone chamber.

Scott stopped again.

He watched the two giant arms rise high, and the palms that were much larger than his entire body crossed their fingers, clenched into fists, and hammered down towards where he was.

"Smash to pieces."

Scott raised the wand in his hand, and the blue light instantly expanded, covering the two giant arms.

In silence, the two arms paused in their downward hammering, and then turned into countless fine powders that flew everywhere.

The magic barrier behind Scott extended again, changing into a sphere to cover his body and also blocked the powder dust.

He walked forward in a refreshing manner.

After walking out of the circular stone chamber and passing through a short, harmless corridor, what appeared in front of him was an abyss.

There was no road in front of him, and the bottom was shrouded in fog and bottomless.

On the other side of the abyss was a high platform, and there was a light in the distance.

Scott said as if talking to himself: "If I remember correctly, Animagus is not banned in this round of competition, right?"

As he said that, he turned into a peregrine falcon, flew lightly over the abyss below, and landed on the high platform on the other side.

At the moment of landing, he turned back into a human form.

Next, he walked through several corridors with twists and turns and varying widths at the same speed.

The level settings in the corridor did not pose any threat to him at all.

He just used the Iron Armor Spell to unfold a magic barrier with no dead angles, and then he came to the next level unimpeded.

Another circular stone chamber appeared in front of him.

However, this one was several times larger than the previous stone chamber with arms growing out.

Scott kept walking.

When he walked to the center of the stone chamber, huge, glowing alchemical arrays appeared on the ground around him.

Then, one after another, huge figures slowly rose from the alchemical array.

Scott looked around, and all the alchemical dolls appeared in the alchemical array.

They were about three meters tall, covered with hideous armor, and holding various weapons in their hands.

Right in front of Scott, there was a figure riding a tall horse and holding a huge knight's gun.

This time, Scott took the initiative to attack without waiting for these alchemical dolls to move.

The magic barrier that wrapped around him cracked, and Scott waved his wand.

"Split into pieces."

The bright pink "light sword" formed by the cutting spell reappeared, and Scott swept across with his wand.

Bang!

A crisp collision sounded.

The alchemical doll holding a shield blocked the "light sword" with the heavy shield in his hand.

Zizizizi...

Sparks flew, and the friction between the "light sword" and the shield was particularly harsh.

Scott raised his eyebrows in surprise.

As expected of Master Nicolas Flamel's work, it is not so easy to be destroyed!

At this time, the other alchemical puppets have already surrounded him.

The only one who did not move was the knight on horseback guarding the exit.

"In this case..."

Scott smiled and turned his wrist.

As the magic wand was retracted, the "light sword" disappeared.

As his wrist turned, the spherical magic barrier closed again and expanded instantly.

Bang!

With a loud bang, all the alchemical puppets that came to besiege were knocked away by the suddenly expanding magic barrier.

Scott waved his wrist smoothly, and the magic barrier cracked again.

"Clear water like a spring."

A torrent gushed out from the tip of his magic wand and quickly swept the entire stone chamber.

The water flow spun rapidly, quickly forming huge water prisons, trapping all the alchemical puppets that had just fallen to the ground.

Ta-ta-ta...

The clanging sound of horse hooves continued to sound.

The alchemical puppet in the shape of a knight was manipulating its horse to move around to avoid being chased by the water.

"There are many obstacles."

Scott flicked the wand in his hand, and the "knight"'s horse immediately staggered a few steps, and was then overtaken by the raging water.

At this point, all the alchemy dolls have been trapped in the rotating water prisons.

Scott retracted his wand and continued walking forward.

Walking out of this stone room, what appeared in front of him was a long, upward staircase.

Scott kept walking and climbed up the steps.

When he stepped onto the stairs, the surroundings instantly dimmed until it was pitch black.

For just a blink of an eye, everything else was hidden in darkness.

All he could see were the stairs at his feet and the distant door at the end of the stairs above, emitting warm light.

At the same time, the range of his magic perception was continuously compressed in an instant, and he could only perceive a range of more than ten meters around himself.

Scott looked up at the door, transformed into a peregrine falcon again, and wanted to fly up as fast as possible.

But he didn't fly.

Even if he flaps his wings, his body still does not leave the steps under his feet.

On this staircase, flying is prohibited.

Scott, who returned to his human form, turned his head and looked at the way he came.

He found that the stairs behind him were broken, and there was pure darkness downstairs after a few steps.

Withdrawing his gaze, he continued climbing.

After more than ten minutes, he stopped.

Looking back, there are still those steps behind me, and there is endless darkness under the steps.

Looking up, the glowing door at the end of the stairs above is still so far away.

"Fluorescence."

The wand in Scott's hand shook slightly, and balls of light flew up one after another.

But after these light groups left the range of the stairs, they were extinguished directly in the surrounding darkness.

He raised his head again and pointed his wand at the glowing door above.

A red spark shot out, like a flare, and shot towards the door.

But the spark didn't reach the finish line.

After flying only a short distance, the red sparks exploded like fireworks, turning into sparks and scattering in all directions.

Scott frowned.

According to his estimation, the spark should have traveled far beyond this distance.

He climbed higher for a moment.

Another ten minutes passed, and he still couldn't see the change in his position on the stairs.

Scott stopped again and decisively turned around and walked downwards.

When he reached the last step, which was close to the darkness below, he suddenly burst into laughter.

In his magic perception, the darkness below is actually not deep.

Only half a meter high.

Scott jumped down the stairs with a slight leap.

When he landed, his eyes suddenly lit up again, and he found that he was already in a bright square stone room.

Directly in front is a red wooden door, with a few lines of ancient magic inscriptions engraved on the bronze plate.

Scott walked to the door and quickly translated the meaning of these lines of ancient magic text.

"The sparkling dream is always so far away, and chasing it blindly will not bring us closer to it."

"Stop and look behind you, you may find something unexpected."

Click.

As Scott said these words, the copper lock on one side of the wooden door opened automatically.

He opened the door and walked in.

Behind the door is a crazy mechanical world.

Countless machines with complex structures are running crazily, but they make very little noise.

At the same time, Scott felt extremely clearly that these machines of different shapes and interconnected with each other seemed to be alive.

They can operate at full power without anyone's control, and many even have arms and legs to move and climb flexibly in various places.

Scott walked through the gaps in these machines, climbed up the cold red ladder, walked on the huge pipes, and finally passed by several rows of tall bookshelves that were unbearable, and came to a very warmly decorated living room. .

Professor Russell, dressed in white robes, is sitting on the sofa, holding a book as thick as a brick in his hand.

"You're here, you're the first."

He looked up and said to Scott.

"Hello, Professor Russell."

Scott stepped onto the soft carpet of the living room.

"Is this the end?"

Professor Russell nodded.

"That's right, the game is over here. The referee team will rate your previous performance."

Scott looked around, "So how do I get out?"

"No, you don't have to rush out."

Professor Russell said.

"Before the last warrior comes here, you can move around freely here. This is your reward."

"award?"

Scott looked at the rows of tall bookshelves, and then at the alchemy laboratory leading to the other door in the living room.

"You mean, I can read all the books here at will, and even visit Master Nicoléme's alchemy laboratory?"

"That's it."

Professor Russell nodded affirmatively.

"Of course, you can't take anything away from here."

"Thank you, I understand!"

Scott walked quickly to the bookshelf and glanced at the dazzling array of countless books on the bookshelf. His eyes were dazzled for a moment.

After thinking for a while, he turned to Professor Russell, "Do you have any recommendations?"

"I recommend you enter the laboratory."

Professor Russell said.

"You don't have much time, and it's not enough for you to read any of the books here."

"I think you're right."

Scott decisively accepted his advice and walked to the door with [Flame Alchemy Laboratory] written on it.

As he gently pushed the door with his hand, it opened.

As he walked into the laboratory, the door closed automatically again.

Scott didn't pay attention to the door behind him, but observed this huge laboratory.

The first thing that caught his eye was all kinds of huge instruments that he couldn't name.

These devices seemed to be connected to the machines outside the laboratory, and were operating steadily, making "humming" sounds from time to time, and spewing out various colors of light and gas.

In the middle of the laboratory, there is a huge laboratory table.

On the laboratory table are various utensils, as well as many different colors of stone slabs engraved with alchemical arrays.

On one side of the table, there is a panel that looks full of cyberpunk style, with some densely packed buttons on the panel.

Scott walked to the laboratory table and looked at the stone slabs engraved with alchemical arrays.

Perhaps, the precious things here are these alchemical arrays.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a familiar red color out of the corner of his eye.

It was a shelf on one side of the laboratory, with materials of various sizes placed on the multi-layer shelves.

And in the room on the upper floor of the shelf, there was a beautiful red stone.

Is that...

The Philosopher's Stone?

Scott's eyes widened instantly.

There's no mistake.

Although he had never seen a real Philosopher's Stone before, he had obtained a one-time Philosopher's Stone and now had one.

He could easily tell that it was a real Philosopher's Stone.

Scott was very surprised.

Beauxbatons placed the Philosopher's Stone here like this?

Aren't they afraid that he would just pick it up and run away?

Thinking of this, Scott suddenly felt that the Philosopher's Stone became extremely tempting.

With it, I can live forever.

With it, I can form an endless army of "summoned beasts".

With it...

He couldn't help but take a step forward and accidentally touched the experimental table.

No, something's wrong.

The moment this thought came up, Scott became alert like a conditioned reflex.

Brain occlumency, full operation!

Magic perception, full deployment!

Like a basin of cold water poured down, cooling the heated mind.

Scott immediately judged that this was a trap.

At this time, in his magic perception, the "magic stone" had revealed its true face.

It was just a red, high-magic gem, which was completely incomparable to the magic stone.

Scott also reacted.

Professor Russell did not tell the truth.

The game did not end just now.

In other words, Professor Russell himself and the "magic stone" were both a part of the game!

Scott retracted his gaze and looked at the stone slab on the experimental table, silently memorizing all the alchemy arrays in his mind.

Click.

Suddenly, a straight crack appeared on the surface of the experimental table, and the table surface moved horizontally, revealing a piece of parchment.

[Uncontrollable greed is an obstacle to the pursuit of truth.

Congratulations, warrior, you have completed this round!

Since you are the first warrior to pass the level, please choose your reward.

A. A magic item made by a professor in Beauxbatons (magic items are available in two types: offensive and defensive)

B. Open the virtual alchemy laboratory table (the virtual alchemy laboratory table can simulate most alchemy reactions 100%, accelerate the reaction process, and does not consume any materials)]

"I choose B!"

Scott said decisively.
