Research on ancient runes shows that the eight eyes of the acromantula represent the number "8"; the two golden horns of the horned camel represent the number "2"; hour, so its presence represents the number "6".

In fact, there is a simple math problem hidden in this oil painting about acromantula predation.

"...Look, four acromantulas are preying on a horned camel, and their target is three passing salamanders." Fleur was explaining to Hermione, "So, four times eight minus Take two, subtract three times six...the answer should be '12'!"

But in fact, Hermione didn't really want to talk to her about this Triwizard Tournament. From the very beginning, there was no so-called "champion". This was a chaotic multi-party duel.

"There's also a net bag of acromantula in there," Hermione corrected calmly. "We don't know what's in it, but it must be prey too. That represents the unknown! And in runes, the symbol for the unknown... ..."

"...represents the number '7'." Furong turned her head to look at the oil painting again, her mouth moved again, but finally she nodded slightly.

At this time, Hermione was holding a slate engraved with the simplified five-legged symbol in Hermione's hand, which represented the number "5".

For young wizards who have carefully studied ancient runes at school, there is no obstacle to solving this little puzzle. What is more tested is actually the flexibility of thinking when using knowledge.

Fu Rong must have also seen the spider's net bag, but she couldn't associate it with relevant knowledge, even if the reminder was sufficient.

It stands to reason that the Furong on weekdays would not fail to be found, but today she...

Seems a little out of shape.

In the next few puzzles, Hermione's speed of solving them was astonishingly fast, which surprised Fleur, and at the same time, her initial elegance seemed to slowly fade away.

A strange tacit understanding gradually developed between the two girls, and their conversations became less and less.

Usually it was Hermione who explained the solution of the puzzle for a while, then Fleur nodded, and let Hermione clear the obstacle, and the two continued to move forward.

The vibe between the two is getting weirder and weirder.

Until Hermione noticed that Fleur's expression also became gloomy, she finally nodded secretly as if she had confirmed something.

Throughout the entire underground tower, Harry was advancing steadily without any danger, while Hermione and Fleur were unimpeded all the way, only Lockhart, disguised as Maca, drifted away from the target floor.

"...I don't know what's going on." Ron sat in the viewing booth, looking at the green flames below, feeling a little empty in his heart unconsciously.

He didn't have the chance to participate in this three-final match, and this is always a hole in his heart.

The entire audience was very lively, everyone was discussing who would win. Although there were different supporters, when it came to the champion, most people actually agreed that Maca was the only candidate.

His performance in the semi-finals was actually not eye-catching, but who made him so famous now?

A wizard who forcibly made it to the World Cup finals, but the Ministry of Magic remained silent, has already become a daily topic of discussion among wizards big and small.

Many people even thought that he might have some connection with Death Eaters.

Of course, so far no wizard has publicly spoken out about "Voldemort's return". Regardless of whether you have had similar speculations or not, it turns out that you don't want to think about this possibility at all.

Even if it is almost clearly placed in front of everyone.

"That's just the resurgence of the remnants of the Death Eaters. The British Ministry of Magic is not in a hurry. Why are we in a hurry?"

Although this is just some of the public opinion,

But it is enough to explain a lot of problems.

But who would have known that "Maca", who was the only candidate for the championship, went astray from the very beginning; while Hermione, who most people didn't care much about, took Furong, who had always been underperforming, to go all the way.

To be honest, objectively judging from the level that the current age should have, only Harry is the most normal person.

The game time is passing bit by bit, but this third event has no time limit.

In any case, as long as the champion is still undecided, the game will continue, and unless all four Warriors voluntarily or passively abstain, Bagman will actually end the game.

In the guest seat where the referees were, only Dumbledore was looking down calmly. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the platform and see everything the warriors underground faced.

...

"Torn apart!"

On a certain level underground, Hermione and Fleur encountered a combat level.

In this level, the two girls showed extraordinary strength, perfectly pushing back several movable armors, and jumped into the magic flame guarded by those movable armors almost at the same time.

The two have gone through more than ten levels together.

Most of these levels are not difficult, and occasionally there are a few more difficult ones, which are all overcome by Hermione.

When they passed the floor again, as the magic flame in front of them disappeared silently, a heat wave suddenly hit the two of them head-on.

The room on this floor was full of flames at a glance, and the hot flames rose from the ground, almost licking the ceiling above.

Not long after, beads of sweat were faintly oozing from the foreheads of the two of them.

"It's as cold as ice."

Hermione immediately cast a Freezing Charm on herself. She glanced at Fleur beside her, and then stepped into the sea of ​​flames without hesitation.

The flames all around quickly engulfed her, and within a few breaths, she disappeared.

Fleur seemed not to be left behind, she did the same, cast a Freezing Charm on herself, and then rushed into the flames to follow Hermione's footsteps.

Once you enter the sea of ​​flames, you will find that the flames are not completely connected. Although you can't see anything except the flame at a glance, there are still some gaps in the middle.

Hermione took the lead in walking ahead, her steps were decisive and steady, as if she knew where she should go, without stopping for a moment.

But Fleur, who was following behind, didn't have time to catch up. She was only stunned for a few seconds at first, and she never found Hermione's figure again.

The two went one after the other, but the direction they chose soon deviated.

The duration of the Freezing Spell on itself is not long, and it also has some negative effects of slowing movement. In such a large sea of ​​flames, he had to make up for himself from time to time to ensure that he could stay active in the flames for a long time.

In addition to freezing spells that can immobilize small creatures, casting spells on themselves can also be used to avoid fire. If the side effects are ignored, its fire-avoiding effect is actually better than the fire-proof and moisture-proof spell.

The flames, which are enough to cause severe burns and even death, can only make the caster feel a little numb. As long as the whole person is not surrounded by ordinary flames, there will be no problems.

After all, fire in nature consumes oxygen when it burns, and wizards naturally need to breathe.

After a while, the flame in front of Hermione's eyes suddenly changed color, and it turned out that they had found the correct exit to the next floor.

However, the strange thing is that she didn't step into it, but pointed at the ground and stretched out the wand in her hand.

"Thunderbolt explosion."

Almost at the same time as the incantation was being recited, an explosion spread throughout the entire floor level.

Fu Rong, who was still searching for the exit in other places, suddenly turned her head, her gloomy eyes stared straight at the direction of the explosion.

She could even vaguely see that the flame where Hermione was was exploded, causing a layer of flames to rise in the sea of ​​flames.

In the next second, Hermione stepped into the green flames and left the tumbling layer of heat.

No one knew what she meant by casting the spell, but she was clearly showing Fleur the way. Could it be that she was just expressing kindness to Furong? Or, is that because she is a very kind girl?

There are only two people who understand the meaning of her actions.

One of them is already in the depths of Albania's mountains at this moment, dealing with ancient tombs; while the other is sitting in the center of the guest table at this moment, watching calmly with his wise blue eyes. see everything.

The night gradually became darker, as if it was interpreting the coming of darkness.

The trees in the Forbidden Forest in the distance are swaying their new branches with the breeze, and there are waves of leaves, but it is hard to see clearly in the night.

Occasionally, owls coo and hoot, bringing a little breath of life to this slightly dull night sky.

It was under this night sky, in a deserted corner of Hogwarts, that a young girl was still conducting research on the preparation of potions with a blank face.

She didn't care about the Triwizard Tournament that had reached the final moment at all, or in other words, she didn't notice any Triwizard Tournament at all.

In her eyes, only the crucible in front of her was the object of attention.

When everyone was excited about the final match, there was a slight rustling sound from the corner where she was, and there seemed to be some new changes in the medicinal liquid in the crucible.

At this moment, with a "poof", the lid of the crucible jumped.

"Unicorn Horn Powder, 0.1 oz."

She carefully lifted the lid, and poured a little bit of golden powder that she had prepared into the crucible that was slightly emitting light blue smoke.

Immediately afterwards, a group of purple-black smoke that people couldn't take their eyes off rose into the sky, and there were still flashes of crystals in it, which contrasted with the stars in the sky.

The girl took off the wide-brimmed pointed wizard hat on top of her head, and her white hair poured down, making her pure eyes more transparent and clear.

In those eyes, there was a faint trace of rare hope, which flashed by.
