Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Chapter 222 An unexpected encounter

"Hiss... I... ah this..."

Carmen showed a very embarrassed expression. Obviously, he was very confident in his magical ability and did not think there was anything wrong with him.

This means that the direction of "North" is now...

The top of his head.

"Three-dimensional... Rubik's Cube, this is what I mean..."

But as if she suddenly thought of something, Carmen raised her eyebrows and thought:

Through his original body, Maskori, he could see what this big square maze looked like to the outside world.

Then you can figure out which part of the maze you are in.

But now it seems that this maze is far from being as simple as it seems:

......

First of all, the number of levels of the maze is three.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this maze is a standard 9x9 Rubik's Cube...

But after all, this "magic cube" is too big

If there were only three floors, the rotation angle felt by the warriors in the maze would definitely be much more obvious.

Although the Traceless Extension Spell is indeed a possibility, Carmen believes that Anriel would not be so bored.

Let's make a bold guess...

This maze...actually has nine floors?

......

Secondly, there is the strange gravity in this maze.

Carmen is now down to earth, but to the outside world it seems like she is walking briskly on a 90-degree vertical wall.

If it was just one person, it would be fine, but Anriel had to support at least six people, not to mention the huge barrier that was floating in the air around the entire maze.

This would definitely require a massive amount of mana support.

For the Warriors, this is what might happen:

One person walked on the ground, but was defeated by another opponent standing on the ceiling, because the hedge only grew in the direction corresponding to the player's feet -

The most intuitive evidence is that after each fork in the road, the width of the "ceiling" and the "ground" is different.

If you want to make Carmen, which is now parallel to the ground, return to the normal or 180-degree inverted area, you need to...

In order to verify her guess, Carmen ran straight forward.

......

"arrive."

The moment she saw this thing, Carmen knew that her guess was basically correct.

There was a dead end in front of me, or rather, a staircase corner that looked completely deformed.

A normal staircase would turn at a right angle downstairs, but this staircase turns horizontally to the "next floor".

It is a very creative design that makes it impossible for an uninformed warrior to guess his current location. Only a "smart" guy like Carmen can guess it.

......

Carmen's guess was basically correct. In fact, Anriel had a small game called "Monument Valley" in his previous life, which was like this.

How can a time traveler not plagiarize?

….

"You found it? So quickly..."

Anriel raised his eyebrows, waved his wand, and the Rubik's Cube maze began to rotate again.

......

"Who! Who's over there!"

Miss Sophante Clare uttered a timid cry.

Among the three schools and six warriors, she is the one with the least presence.

But in this kind of battle between gods, it might be safest to have no sense of existence:

Even in Anriel's script, there is no role for this girl.

She just wanted to finish the competition safely (doubtful) and become a little famous, that's all.

To put it in more modern terms, she just wanted to make her resume look better. What's wrong with that?

Apparently, no.

As Sophini shouted this, a loud noise made her subconsciously take several steps back.

Smoke and dust rose up, and when it cleared, a large hole appeared in the hedge in front of him. Even though a few tiny flames were attached to the vines, they slowly went out as if there was nothing to burn.

The main reason was that Harry discovered that the Fire Spell worked very well in conjunction with the Cutting Spell and the Blasting Spell, because Anriel's magic couldn't burn the maze at all, but it was still very useful as a means of attacking the maze.

"You...you are the little boy from Hogwarts!"

Sophancy blinked and exclaimed as she looked at Harry in the large hole in the hedge wall.

"The second champion of Beauxbatons..."

Harry shook his sore arms, seeming to be thinking about something.

Just now, he bombarded all the way here, and it seemed that his guidance spell was not very sensitive, and it would turn around a few times from time to time.

If Carmen were here, he might have the temerity to tell Harry:

"Little brother, it's not your fault. There's just a guy with a bad taste twisting a Rubik's Cube outside."

Harry didn't know the exact structure of the Rubik's Cube maze. He just felt that the space inside the maze seemed chaotic. It seemed that he needed a little bit of luck to find the Triwizard Championship Cup at the center of the maze...

But it seems that his luck is not very good, as he met another participating warrior, and it was not Cedric.

What is very different from the original plot is that Harry is not so resistant to Cedric this time. After all, they are teammates...

And who knows, maybe Cedric Diggory is the only person in the entire maze who can and will help him.

"You...you got here this way?"

Sophini couldn't believe what she saw. She couldn't understand why there was such a way to cross the maze...

What is the meaning of the maze?

"Well, it's not like this all the way, but it's okay to understand it this way."

Harry touched the back of his head, where there was a lump, caused by Anriel falling when he twisted the Rubik's Cube not long ago.

Harry probably understood one thing -

As long as you stay in the corridor of the maze, there will be no gravity reversal or sudden change of direction that would cause you to fly around.

But if I were between the hedges, I would be attacked by the phenomenon of gravity disorder. In this case, if I flew into the corridor through a hole, I would immediately reset the gravity to a stable state...

For example, being smashed hard against the wall, the ground, or even the ceiling.

The most dangerous time, he almost broke his neck, but he wouldn't have had a chance to beg for mercy -

Naturally, there is no possibility of choosing to voluntarily withdraw from the competition.

But this doesn’t mean that this situation is normal:

Outside the maze, when watching Harry punch through the hedge just now, the audience almost had their hearts in their throats, fearing that if they were not careful, Harry would fall due to the rapid change in gravity and then evenly stick to a wall...

......

One thing that can be seen now is that -

The protagonist is indeed the protagonist and he really has some strength. Apart from anything else, his adaptability has exceeded the acceptance of too many people.

From the perspective of the audience, that is, "normal people" in the traditional sense, Harry is already very resilient.

This is definitely far beyond the endurance of the average fourth grader.

......

In comparison, Sophanni simply dealt with some small obstacles in the maze, and the intensity was far less than what Krum had just encountered.

Even Furong's perspective, where she was made quite embarrassed by a group of spiny armadillos, was much more entertaining than Sophanni's.
