Chapter 409 407 Lestrange

Chapter 409 407. Lestrange

Jon did not bring the Marauder's Map with him because he did not know in advance that the third project was taking place in the castle.

Otherwise, he would have actually discovered the whole process of Diane's elimination by now.

But then again, even if he knew it in advance, it would be a problem to avoid the screening before the game with the Marauder's Map.

After Jon searched the entire second floor, he stopped in a Charms classroom and began to calm down and rethink the puzzle left on the candle with the Sorting Hat.

"If this essence refers to the classroom, the scope is too wide. It is already three o'clock, and we have just finished searching the second floor. If we want to search the entire castle, it will take at least a day and a night. If The middle warrior and the warrior met again midway, and what happened would further delay the time. The game lasted so long that the students in the castle had to stay outside all the time, and they could not guarantee that the classroom would be The final place to hide the trophy and when the game will end is far away.”

After Jon analyzed it carefully, he continued.

"So, I think the answer shouldn't be the classroom, but a specific place."

The Sorting Hat groaned.

"[The essence of a school], what else is the essence of this school besides teaching and educating people?"

Jon thought for a moment, then he said.

"The essence may not be wrong, but teaching and educating people is mainly used to transfer knowledge. Normally, a classroom is a place used to transfer knowledge. But now there are no professors and students in this school, so the classroom is just an empty space. It’s just a house. If you think about it differently, besides getting knowledge from professors in school, there is actually another way——"

"library."

Jon stood up from his chair.

"Compared with the concept of classroom, the library is much clearer. There is no second library in the entire Hogwarts."

The Sorting Hat agrees with this.

"Maybe your feeling is right, we can go take a look."

Then Jon did not continue searching from classroom to classroom, but went directly down the stairs to the location of the Hogwarts library.

The door here is closed, but there are two armors guarding on both sides of the door.

After seeing the two pieces of armor, Jon couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"I remember that these two armors didn't seem to be in the library before."

The Sorting Hat only said cautiously.

"Before I lost consciousness, I was sure there was no armor here. I don't know if it was added after that."

"I came here once two years ago, and the armors were not there yet. As for whether they were specially arranged by the referee, we will know as long as we give it a try."

As Jon spoke, he stared at the two armors approaching the door of the library. When he was less than one meter away from the door, the motionless armors suddenly raised the knight's sword in their hands. Stopped in front of Jon.

Jon was not frightened by their sudden movements, but instead raised his wand with a smile on his face.

"I remember when Mr. Graves read out the rules, he said that as long as the castle can be entered, there are no restrictions. In other words, these two things are actually a test. If you can beat it, it will prove it. The library is open, but this is a restricted area.”

After he finished speaking, he waved the wand in his hand, and at the same time, a spell sounded from his mouth.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

At the same time, on the seventh floor of the castle, Emil and the wizard who had sneak-attacked Diane to get her out walked out of the principal's office with gloomy faces.

"Why can't we get such crucial information as the position of the Triwizard Cup?" Emil couldn't help but ask.

The wizard shook his head.

"Graves was also wary of people within the Federation. When arranging the location of the trophy, he was personally responsible for it and did not tell anyone else. Besides, it doesn't matter even if we don't know where the Triwizard Cup is, as long as If we can find Jon Green and deal with him, the Triwizard Cup will be in our hands sooner or later."

Emil then asked.

"So how do we find Jon Green? The castle is so big, it's not that easy to find. What's more, what kind of clues did he find? How many steps ahead of us is also a question. Maybe we haven't found him yet. By the time he got there, he had already finished the game with that trophy?”

Just as the wizard was deep in thought about Emil's question, a sudden explosion instantly attracted the attention of both of them!

"You have lived in the castle for almost a year. Do you know where this sound came from?" The wizard's voice was slightly excited.

Emil also showed joy on his face.

"It's in the direction of the library!"

It didn't take Jon much effort to solve these two armors.

They didn't look like they were going to fight with the players. Jon just used an ordinary blast to test the strength of the armor. They automatically gave up their duty to guard the library and blocked the door. The sword in front of him was retracted and returned to his lifeless look.

This time Jon pushed open the library door without any hindrance. He easily pushed the door open and entered.

And just after he entered, the door closed on its own, and then candles were automatically lit, illuminating the room as wide as the auditorium.

Various books were neatly placed on the bookshelves, and the chairs and benches were neatly packed. It seemed that before the students and faculty were taken away from the castle, special personnel had cleaned all the areas.

Jon did not stop at the bookshelves on the outside. He walked along the long corridor after entering the door and walked deeper into the library, and finally came to a red line.

Further ahead is the forbidden book area. However, not a single forbidden book is left in the Hogwarts library now. Most of them have been entered into Jon's ring, and a small part has been transferred to British Magic by Voldemort. department.

Directly crossing the red line, Jon continued to move forward. Before he reached the end, a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a woman blocked his way.

This is a sphinx.

A magical animal from Egypt, it has always been used by wizards to guard their precious belongings and secret places. It is a very intelligent animal that loves riddles and word puzzles. It usually only becomes smart when what it is guarding is threatened. It is dangerous. Anyone who wants to pass by it will be forced to guess a riddle, otherwise it will attack and be eaten directly.

In the last game of the original Triwizard Tournament, such a magical animal also appeared, and one was actually included in the Triwizard Tournament in this world.

But before the sphinx could speak, Jon had already raised his wand and pointed it at it.

Without reciting the incantation, the tip of the staff began to light up with a miserable green light.

The sphinx clearly felt the dead silence in the green light, and its mouth that was about to open subconsciously closed again.

Jon was not in the mood to guess with it here. He could solve the problem in the simplest and crudest way, so naturally he didn't need to use his brain.

"Get out of the way or die."

To be honest, the library is very unfavorable to the Sphinx. It is not small, and in this narrow space, it is impossible to dodge spells dexterously.

As for ordinary spells such as coma spells and petrification spells, it doesn't need to be afraid of Jon's threat at all. All high-level magical animals usually have a thick skin with a strong magic immunity effect.

But for the death curse, unless the skin is as thick as a fire dragon, no magical animal can withstand a shot like this.

The Sphinx is very smart, otherwise it wouldn't like to guess riddles. When it saw the green light on the tip of Jon's staff, it flashed aside and stared at Jon without making a sound.

Jon did not relax his vigilance. The wand in his hand was always pointed at the Sphinx, and he slowly passed by it. Just when Jon was about to completely pass by, a loud bang came from the door of the library. Passed it over!

That was obviously also a blasting spell, and it was much more powerful than Jon's previous converging spell!

Even the door of the library was shaken by the violent shock wave, and a lot of dust fell from the ceiling.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the sphinx suddenly jumped back from the narrow forbidden book area to the spacious study area of ​​the library. The stern woman's face was staring at Jon eagerly.

The door to the library was also opened at this time, and two figures of approximately the same height walked in from a puff of smoke.

Jon clenched the wand in his hand, looking at the two figures, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Eventually the smoke dissipated, and the people who walked into the library revealed their true faces. One of them was naturally Emile Lestrange.

But the other person standing next to him made Jon's lips reveal a sarcasm.

"So in the end your method was to cheat so blatantly?"

Emil's father, Brandon Lestrange, who became the new head of the Lestrange family after Jon killed Rabastan, Rodolphus and Bella, was so straightforward. Standing in front of Jon.

Faced with Jon's question, Brandon seemed very unconcerned. He did not put down the wand in his hand, and pointed it at Jon with his son.

"Cheating is never shameful in the Triwizard Tournament. It is a tradition."

Jon looked at the father and son with cold eyes. Neither of them took action immediately. Jon was not afraid of anything. He always felt that things were not that simple.

It can be said that the original Lestrange family was wiped out by Jon alone. It is precisely because of this that Brandon now has the opportunity to rise to power with his son.

This father and son should know better than anyone what kind of threat he poses, so how could they confirm that a person like themselves, who can only be regarded as unknown among the Death Eaters, and a seventh-grade student are more powerful than anyone else? Who are better, Bella and Rodolphus, two long-established dark wizards in the magical world?

Of course, Brandon had his own support. He stared closely at Jon, thinking that before the Triwizard Tournament officially started, Voldemort personally visited the Lestrange home. In addition to attending the meeting between Rodolphus and In addition to Bella's funeral, he also personally told him the ultimate goal of their father and son in this game.

Kill Jon Green and get the Triwizard Cup.

As a warrior participating in the competition, Emil of course cannot use the killing curse to kill people, so the only person who can do it is Brandon.

As for how to get Brandon involved in the final game, Voldemort certainly has his own arrangements.

Now this arrangement has worked, and Brandon has reached the critical moment of facing Jon. At this time, he waved his wand in the next second without any hesitation.

"Avada Kedavra!"

The pale green light instantly illuminated the entire library, and the death curse came straight towards where Jon was standing!

While Brandon released the spell, Emil also completed a perfect cooperation with his father. He also raised the wand together, without chanting the spell, but directly released a coma spell silently above Jon.

They all studied the magic that Jon had always relied on, and knew that he could fly, so the two people's spells were mainly to block the space above him!

Jon was not stubborn and would definitely use the floating spell when he encountered a problem.

Although the banned books in the restricted area were gone, the surrounding bookshelves were still placed here honestly. He dodged behind the bookshelf and avoided the joint attack of Lestrange and his son.

Animagus did not successfully turn him into a magical animal, but strengthened his physique and reaction speed as a human.

It was also because of this that Jon's actions became more agile compared to before.

After successfully dodging the death curse and the coma curse, he did not fight back immediately, but turned his head to look at the end of the restricted area originally blocked by the Sphinx. There was no trophy there, but only a wooden door that looked very ordinary.

After realizing that the game could not be ended in a short time, Jon focused all his attention on the Lestrange father and son.

He hid behind the bookshelf and pointed his wand at Brandon through the gaps in the many bookshelves.

"God's blade is invisible!"

The invisible blade cut off a desk in front of Brandon in an instant, and at the same time, a light blue light shield was created 20 centimeters in front of him.

After the armor spell narrowly blocked Jon's spell, Brandon did not hold back any more, and he immediately took out a ring inlaid with black gems.

The next second, countless black mists gushed out from the ring!
