Chapter 143 Good News and Bad News

Hermione took the key and stuffed it into the keyhole, twisted it hard, and the door lock popped open with a click.

They pushed the door open, and the room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

But just as they stepped in, the room was suddenly brightly lit, illuminating a shocking scene.

They stood on the edge of a huge wizard's chessboard, with black chess pieces in front of them, which were taller than them, and seemed to be carved out of black stone or something.

At the other end of the room, facing them, were some white chess pieces.

"Do you need us to play chess?" George frowned.

"It should be, probably as long as you win the bet, the door to the opposite room will open." Fred nodded.

Cedric and William looked at each other, he raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "There is no doubt that it is Professor McGonagall's handwriting."

William shrugged, "Professor McGonagall, you can always come up with something new."

"Then who's coming?" Qiu asked.

"Let me do it," William said.

Several of them can play wizard chess, and Cedric was the best before.

However, since William stayed in the time loop for two years, he had nothing to do for a while, looking for someone to play wizard chess.

Cedric was no match for William after that.

What's more, William also studied for two weeks at St. Mungo's Hospital with the three-time wizard chess champion, and his skills are invincible among his peers.

William knows several tricky routines, and he is best at Scottish opening and French defense.

But here he is still going to choose Scotland to start. The French defense sounds unlucky, giving people a feeling of tofu.

William and the others replaced six pawns and stood on the chessboard.The six left chess pieces turned around, turned their backs to the white chess pieces, walked out of the chessboard, and watched the battle from a distance.

The rule of chess is that white moves first, and soon a white piece moves two squares forward.

William began to direct the black chess to fight, and the others silently followed his instructions.

William continued to use the black queen to capture the opponent's pieces.

Every time, the black queen would viciously knock the white chess piece to the floor, then drag the opponent's foot out of the chessboard, walk towards the corner, and come back after a while.

For some reason, William felt strange every time he saw this situation, as if the king's head was green.

After playing for a while, William has basically mastered the opponent's chess strength, not particularly high, as long as the level is slightly better, he can beat it.

That's right, if the opponent is an artificial intelligence of AlphaGo's level, William will also say tremblingly: "I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't win, I really can't win."

When William ordered the knights to stand in front of the White King, the White King took off the crown on his head and threw it at William's feet.

They won, and the white pieces bowed and retreated to make way.

But William didn't leave immediately, but continued to observe the chess pieces.

"What's the matter?" Cedric asked, walking up to William.

"I'm thinking about these chess pieces... It should be more than just Professor McGonagall using the Transfiguration technique."

William pointed to the chessboard.

"Transfiguration deforms an object, and it needs a wizard to manipulate it if it wants to move.

And at this point, Professor McGonagall has already fallen asleep, such a huge chess piece can not only move by itself, but also actively play chess with us... This alone is not something that Transfiguration can do. "

"what do you mean……"

"These chess pieces should be the product of transfiguration and alchemy.

Not to mention Transfiguration, the alchemy operation method used in it makes me very curious. "William touched the white king.

Always curious about what you don't know, that's a Ravenclaw.

In this regard, William is undoubtedly qualified.

If he also learns this alchemy skill, he can make a batch of similar dolls to fight on his behalf.

The magic world is undoubtedly dangerous, and it is always right to increase combat power a little bit.

Just like the Gringotts incident, it is impossible for William to wait for the support of Nick LeMay and Dumbledore every time.

A wizard is truly powerful only when he is strong, and alchemy is one of them.

"I remember." Hermione said suddenly: "It is recorded in "Hogwarts, A History", that there are a lot of statues and armor in this ancient castle.

These things have been silent in the corner. When the ancient castle of Hogwarts is under attack, they will wake up, accept the headmaster's instructions, guard the castle, defend the students, and do their due duty for the school! "

William nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, it's a guardian magic called 'Stone Pile'. I think Professor McGonagall should have made some gadgets based on those things."

"So... what do you mean?"

William laughed, and not only him, but Fred, George, and Cedric.

They come here to take risks, so they naturally want to get some benefits, so they can't come here in vain, right?

"After the research is done, we can make a batch of powerful dolls, and we can sell them." George laughed.

"What if Professor McGonagall finds out?" Hermione showed a worried look.

"Hermione, everything Professor Dumbledore does has meaning.

Since he set up these levels, it must not be simply fun and interesting.

I guess he wants to train the little wizard, let us learn more things.We are learning, these chess pieces are. "

"That's right, move them all away!" Qiu said seriously.

Hermione was speechless, she always felt that these people were Gryffindors.

A few people hurriedly put the knocked out chess pieces into the enlarged pocket of the Untraceable Stretching Curse.

Before William left, he put the white king who had taken off his crown into it.

Without the White King, probably no one would be able to pass through the chessboard and enter the door of the room.

Those chess pieces stood there stupidly, and they accepted the instruction to let the winner pass, but they didn't say that the winner should not be allowed to move the chess pieces away.

The Black Queen stood alone, watching William and the others leave with an expressionless face.

What a miserable queen!
Soon, they went into the next room, but there was nothing in it.

As William said, this is a level that has not been fully arranged, and there is also a lack of tools for grabbing keys at the previous key.

It seems that Dumbledore is still thinking about it.

Several people opened the next door. There was nothing scary here, only a table with seven bottles of different shapes arranged on it.

As soon as William and the others crossed the threshold, a flame rose from behind them, sealing the door.

This flame is unusual, it is purple.At the same time, black flames shot up from the door leading to the front, and they were trapped in the middle.

"Oh, there is good news and bad news, which one are you going to hear first?" William stared at the black fire.

"I always like bittersweet, bad news!" said Fred.

"The bad news is... this is the devil's flame, a kind of black magic, extremely dangerous, and you will die if you touch it."

"What about the good news?"

"The flames are well contained and there is no tendency to get out of control. We are safe."

George shrugged. "That's not good news. I thought you'd say you could control the flames."

William rolled his eyes.

"Do you think I'm someone who can study black magic?"

"Yes!"

William suddenly smiled, and he was too accurate in judging people!

Although he has not studied it now, he will definitely study it in the future.

Every master of magic is also a master of the dark arts, including Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick.
