A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts - Chapter 62
The already unfavorable chess game became even worse. “
“Ron.” Harry couldn’t help but remind him, “If we keep playing like this, no matter how lucky we are, we will all die.”
“Don’t worry, I’m sure.
I can win this game without even one pawn. “
However, as the chess game progressed, his confidence became weaker and weaker.
Although Ron had used human wisdom to force the advantage to the black chess side, when the black chess piece was eaten, the white chess piece’s performance was too cruel, and he had to find a way to ensure that Harry and Hermione The living chess piece does not suffer any damage, and every move is a huge pressure.
boom! boom! boom!
The sound of broken stone statues was heard endlessly. The number of black and white chess pieces on the chessboard continued to decrease, leaving less than half. The broken stones almost covered half of the room.
At this moment, the only chess pieces on the chessboard that can affect the outcome are the white king, the white queen, and the three living black chess pieces, Harry, Hermione, and Ron.
Three against two, the situation is quite obvious.
As long as the white queen whose main purpose is to capture the pieces is held back, any black piece can checkmate the white king.
But this is Wizard’s Chess, and they need to decide who will face the white queen’s stone statue.
“Wait a minute.” Harry said suddenly.
“It seems you understand, Harry.” Ron pursed his lips, “I have to be eaten.”
“No!”×2.
“This is a game of chess, and there have to be sacrifices.
Do you still want to prevent the mysterious man from getting the magic stone? “
“No, there is always another way.” Hermione said.
“But if you wait any longer, the Philosopher’s Stone will be taken away.” Ron looked pale and smiled forcefully, “I’ll be fine. Don’t forget, I still have a layer of protective magic on me, and I also drank the elixir.”
“But look at these broken chess pieces, are any of them intact?
You can’t joke with your life! “Hermione said anxiously, “By the way, Aaron, Aaron must have a way. “
She turned her head anxiously, and after looking carefully for a while, she found Aaron taking a nap in the corner, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
“Aaron, wake up, don’t sleep.”
“Huh? Finished?” Aaron opened his eyes and stood up from the hard floor.
“Oh! This scene is really tragic.
Although I have no interest in this thing, it is obvious that black has won. “
“But we have to go out alone to distract the White Queen.” Harry looked ugly, “This means, means…”
“It means that one of you has to enjoy the treatment of these eaten chess pieces.” Aaron looked at the gravel everywhere and said with emotion, “Fortunately, I am not on the chess board. Being a chess piece is really sad.”
“Is now the time to discuss this?” Ron said with tears in his eyes.
“Why are your legs shaking so much?
No, it’s not just the legs. Did I see it wrong? Your whole body is shaking. “
“He plans to sacrifice himself so that we can checkmate the White King.” Harry said solemnly.
Aaron was stunned for a moment, then looked at the trembling Weasley and gave him a thumbs up.
“Great, smart decision, right choice.
As expected of Gryffindor, your courage really impresses me!
I believe the Weasley family will be proud of you in the future, go for it! “
Three people:……
Is this what people say?
Is this gloating tone true?
“Wait, wait, you mean you really want Ron to sacrifice?” Hermione asked in disbelief, “We can only watch helplessly and can’t do anything?”
“Otherwise? What if it were you and Harry?” Aaron asked, “Ron is on a stone statue anyway, and with the addition of the Iron Armor Curse and the Felixir, he may not be seriously injured.
But what about you? You have nothing.
If it were you who lured Bai away, you would have to rely on your flesh and blood to block its long sword, and you would die.
Simply put, Ron is the best choice. “
“Don’t you have any other options?” Hermione asked.
Aaron raised his eyebrows and gave her a playful look.
“There is no way. Even if I use my method, Ron still has to act as a pawn.
However, it is slightly less dangerous than being attacked by the White Queen. “
“That’s it.” Ron said immediately, and then looked at Harry, “After you win, go to the next level immediately, don’t delay here.”
Ron controlled the statue of the horse and slowly moved to the White King.
“General!”
After the words fell, Queen Bai slowly turned around, looked at Ron with a face without facial features, and then moved towards him.
Harry and Hermione both watched this scene anxiously, their hearts beating faster than expected and their breathing becoming more rapid.
Ron on the horse was trembling all over, but his hands still held the reins on the statue tightly and did not let go.
After Queen Bai got closer, she tightened her grip on the long sword and stabbed straight into the horse’s belly.
“Ah!” Ron shouted in panic.
“Ron!” Harry shouted angrily.
At this moment, a white light flew out from the side and knocked Ron into the wall.
Harry’s shouting suddenly stopped, and he was stunned for a while before looking in the direction from which the white light was flying.
Aaron pretended not to care and put away his wand, looking at the stunned two people, “Am I handsome?”
Harry and Hermione couldn’t react for a moment, so they could only nod in unison.
“Is this your approach?” Hermione asked.
“That’s right.
The person who can control the chess pieces is not necessarily the only one who plays chess. Forces outside the chessboard can affect the situation at any time.
This is a famous saying from an ancestor of my family, and it makes sense. “Aaron explained, “The purpose of the white chess piece is just to destroy the chess piece. In other words, the goal of the white queen is just the statue of the horse that Ron is riding.
As long as you leave in time, there will be no danger in leaving the chessboard. “
“Is Ron going to be okay?” Harry looked at the figure lying under the wall, feeling worried.
“Probably not!”
“should?”
The two said in unison, obviously not satisfied with these two words.
“Of course it should, I had to make sure he was outside the board and cast the spell a little harder.
But I gave him armor and luck, so it shouldn’t be a big deal. “
Harry smiled bitterly, “You are too…”
“What? Are you not convinced?” Aaron joked, “At least compared to that chess piece, his end is much better, isn’t it?”
Harry looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard that were smashed by the white queen, and was speechless.
“Maybe you’re right, but you should have said it beforehand.”
“You didn’t ask either?
Furthermore, I have to grasp the timing of casting the spell. I told you in advance that the effect may not be so good. “
“Um…”
The foot of the wall suddenly remembered Ron’s moan, “Harry.”
“Ron, are you okay!”
“It’s okay, I just feel a little pain in my back.
And my foot seems to be twisted a little, but it’s not a big problem. “
“It’s okay, just wait a moment, I’ll be there soon.” Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked to the White King.
Chapter 85 Simple Logical Reasoning Questions
“You’re checkmate!”
After the words fell, the white king let go of the long sword in his hand, and the remaining white chess pieces gave way, silently announcing the outcome of the chess game.
“We won?” Ron said in surprise, as if he still didn’t believe it.
“We won, but it’s not over yet.” Aaron looked at the door guarded by the white chess piece. “The next levels will definitely not be easier than the previous ones, and we have to face a big BOSS.”
“Ron, can you be alone?” Harry asked worriedly.
“Um…ok.”
“Then I feel sorry for you to wait for us here, and you won’t participate in the remaining levels.”
“What? But I’ve already come this far.” Ron stood up unconvinced, but as soon as he took out his right foot, he staggered and almost lost his balance.
“You just stay here!” Hermione said, “You can’t let us carry you there, right?
If you encounter any dangerous institutions again, we can’t take care of you in this state. “
“You don’t want to implicate us, right?” Aaron added bluntly.
Ron opened his mouth, was silent for a while, and lay there unwillingly.
Lying flat, but not lying flat, there is really nothing I can do.
Although he doesn’t want to admit it, he is indeed a burden to the team now, commonly known as a drag on the team.
If it were normal times, forget it. At most, one point would be deducted for lagging behind. But at this time, lagging behind would obviously put the remaining people in more danger.
“a wise decision.”
Aaron chuckled and then moved to the next level.
Hermione and Harry gave Ron an apologetic look and followed Aaron into the next door.
When I opened the door, a stench hit my face.
The three of them saw a familiar magical creature, a troll.
But this monster is a little sadder than the one they saw on Halloween.
It lay motionless on the floor, with a big bag on its head.
“Great, it looks like we don’t have to fight the troll anymore,” Harry said.
Aaron rolled his eyes, “Actually, you can also think so. The guy who came in first was very powerful and defeated a giant monster casually.”
Harry’s expression was stagnant, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was natural. How could he have the courage to come to Hogwarts to steal things if he had mediocre skills?
“It’s better to get out of here first!” Hermione said, covering her mouth and nose, “If you stay any longer, you will suffocate.”
The three of them immediately walked around the giant monster and opened the next door.
There is no magic here, just a table and seven bottles of different shapes.
“This level should have been designed by Professor Snape.” Aaron said thoughtfully, “Isn’t it about preparing a potion? If so, I suggest that I turn around and go back immediately.
Because that is very time-consuming, and by the time the potion is mixed, the mysterious man has already succeeded. “
Harry took a deep breath and took a step forward.
In an instant, purple flames blocked the door, and black flames also burst out on the next door.
“Beautiful!” Aaron’s eyes twitched, “As expected of Professor Snape, he really doesn’t leave any escape route!”
“Now it’s time to go.” Hermione shrugged, then walked to the table, picked up a piece of parchment on it, and read out:
