Chapter 307: Create Shortcuts

"What's the matter with Fleur?"

Hermione looked at Fleur, who was not nervous on the screen, like a spring outing, and was a little puzzled.

This is the final. How come Fleur can still be so relaxed?

Alvin blinked, "Maybe she's recharging her batteries?"

Hermione hammered him, preventing her boyfriend from being funny, and turned to look at Harry. At this sight, a black line appeared on his forehead.

After Harry chose the passage on the left, he experienced several waves of small creature attacks, passed through several forks in a row, and gradually lost his way.

After going around in circles, he returned to the first fork in the road.

Looking at the familiar fork in front of him, Harry fell silent.

Not only he, but even the audience outside was silent.

Even the eighth-placed Ford had almost caught up with Harry.

The other Headmasters are all overjoyed. If this continues, they all have hope of winning the tournament.

Alvin was also a little speechless. He didn't expect to go wrong in this situation.

At this time, Fleur and Cassandra had reached the middle of the maze, even if they had deliberately slowed down.

"Can't be allowed to continue like this."

Thinking of this, Alvin also used special means to let the two girls know about the situation, and their faces showed a strange looks at the same time.

They had enough water, and Harry didn't expect it to be... unexpected.

In desperation, the two girls had to choose some dead ends to delay their progress deliberately.

If they encounter other players, they will try to solve it as much as possible.

On the other hand, Harry also had his own decision in his heart.

Thinking that in a Muggle primary school, the math teacher taught me earnestly.

"Between two points, the line segment is the shortest."

"And the Triwizard Cup is stored in the center of the labyrinth, which is due north, so..."

Harry got his bearings and aimed his wand at the thick wall.

"Bombarda!"

The huge explosion sounded along with the thick smoke, which startled Ford, who had just come in and was still nearby and quickly accelerated his steps.

When the dust settled, looking at the irregular hole in front of him, Harry smiled happily.

Although the hole is not big, it can accommodate a relatively thin person to pass through.

"Foul! It's cheating! How could he damage the field."

Karkaroff panicked and protested angrily.

Just as Dumbledore was about to speak, Bagman took the lead. "Karkaroff, Mr. Potter had committed no offense. There is no rule that the Champions can't destroy the field. This is his wisdom and strength."

At this time, Barty was very happy. Just now, he was planning to exchange the Triwizard Cup. Then he was going to take advantage of the chaos after winning the championship and forcibly kidnapped Harry.

It's a relief to see Harry getting better now.

Dumbledore looked at him in surprise as if he did not expect Bagman to support Harry so strongly.

Aware of Dumbledore's gaze, Barty Jr. also panicked.

He was still a little carried away, and Dumbledore noticed it.

"Minister Fudge, you are also a referee today. What do you think?"

Barty hurriedly asked Fudge, who had been silent for a while.

Fudge naturally hopes that the champion of the Triwizard Tournament belongs to England and agrees with a smile.

Seeing that two consecutive people supported Harry, Karkaroff was helpless.

After all, this is England's home field, and they have too much advantage.

In the maze, Harry moved forward like a bulldozer, and the disadvantages of what he did were also reflected.

Hearing the huge movement here, many magical creatures in the labyrinth ran over.

"Riddikulus!"

After defeating a Boggart who had turned into a Dementor, Harry stopped his steps and took a few heavy breaths.

In just a few hundred meters, he met Red Cap, Boggart, and Acromantula.

Coupled with the magic power consumed by opening the way, he is now somewhat exhausted.

After a five-minute rest, Harry started again.

He was a little puzzled because he did not encounter any Champions along the way.

He didn't know that Cassandra and Fleur had "unintentionally" met several Champions to pave the way for him.

And these Champions have completely retired.

In the labyrinth now, only Fleur, Cassandra, Harry, and Krum were lucky enough not to meet two girls.

It is fair that there is also a Champion in each school.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

"Incendio!"

Having dealt with a Flailtail Snail, Harry looked excited and was now getting closer to the center.

A school year has passed, and the Flailtail Snail just now is much bigger than the one Fleur encountered in the early task, and the hard shell resists almost all of Harry's spells.

If it wasn't for Alvin's repeated emphasis not to use the spell on the bracelet, Harry would have used his trump card long ago.

As he was walking down a long, straight path, he noticed movement again.

A lion-shaped monster with the head of a beautiful woman lay in the middle of the road, blocking the way forward.

Harry knew this was the Sphinx, a magical creature that appeared in the Monster Book of Monsters, and was very fond of puzzles.

He raised his wand subconsciously and heard Sphinx say.

"You are the first human to arrive here. Congratulations, you are very close to your goal. The trophy is in sight as long as you pass my level."

Harry was delighted to hear this, "Could you please let me go?"

Sphinx was choked for a moment, and his emotions were a little incoherent, and she looked at Harry with the eyes of a fool.

If she can get out of the way, why is she standing here talking nonsense with him?

"No," said the Sphinx. "Unless you can answer my riddle, you have three chances, and if you don't get it right three times, I'll rush."

Harry's mood suddenly became a lot worse, guessing something didn't match his character at all.

After thinking for a while, he felt that three chances were okay. At least he could try it, so he signaled the Sphinx to ask the question.

The Sphinx was very happy and said loudly.

"Some try to hide, and Some try to deceive.

But time will show everything, and we will always meet.

Guess my name as best you can.

When I do have you, I promise you will know. "

Harry: ???

He knows every word in it. Why can't he understand it when they are combined together?
