Ethan: For a better player experience, I've upgraded the mansion to version 2.0 plus

Chapter 80 Ethan: For a better player experience, I've upgraded the mansion to version 2.0 plus.

Herbo House.

This is a gray-white retro building located in the middle of a swamp.

It was surrounded by bottomless swamps where there was no place to put your foot.

Like a gaping maw, it devours any creature that inadvertently falls into it.

How to successfully enter the mansion is also one of the test points.

But this was clearly no challenge for Ethan.

"Tear".

A soft tearing sound was heard.

A dark, square door appeared next to the mansion.

Ethan strolled out of there leisurely.

Like strolling through one's own backyard, leisurely looking around.

His gaze swept carefully over the eerie windows of the mansion, nailed shut with wooden planks, the dilapidated cracks in the brick walls, and the withered ivy wrapped around them like bandages on a corpse.

Then, he nodded in satisfaction.

at the same time.

the other side.

Auror John Dexter hid in the dense forest, silently watching Ethan's actions.

The feeling of being a homeowner was so strong; he had been sent to monitor Ethan and clean up the mess Ethan left behind.

The entire Ilfamoni contestants, staggering about, and the Slytherin students who accidentally fell off the cliff.

Tonight, St. Mungo's will surely be a sleepless night.

At first, everyone thought the child was there to be used as cannon fodder.

Is there no one left at Hogwarts?

Why would they send a first-year wizard to participate?

But after witnessing a monster that does not exist in this world.

Their thinking has changed.

Hogwarts, you're really poisoning each other's hearts!

I never expected Dumbledore to be like this!

To win a ranking, they're not even going to act anymore!

They sent out a naturally evil supermodel brat, who completely turned the challenge into something else entirely!

A crazy battle royale, whoever survives wins, right?!

How exactly is that kind of magical and powerful magic accomplished?

It seems to be a completely different system from magic spells!

Beyond the imagination of normal people!

It was as if the ancient magical golden age described in history books had been recreated.

As they chased each other, Delix almost used his Phantom Shift ability to split into two.

And this awful weather.

The torrential rain felt like a giant boss was about to appear.

Ugh~ Bitter Lushi TAT

Fortunately, this torture is about to end.

Once Ethan enters the mansion and obtains the key, the match will be over!

Delilah watched with hope as Ethan walked toward the door.

Then, Ethan raised his hand and very politely knocked on the empty door.

"Knock knock".

The hollow sound of the worm-eaten door echoed through the swamp.

Naturally, no one answered.

Delixi felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

That kid is really weird.

He watched Ethan walk into the room before finally letting out a sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing.

It's finally over...

Once that brat is teleported away, everything should return to normal.

The real show is just beginning.

Ethan thought to himself.

Standing in the foyer, I squinted.

I took a deep, blissful breath, inhaling the scent of dust and mold that filled the air.

strong enough.

Ethan transformed the umbrella back into a wand and cast a drying spell on himself.

Curious, I looked around and walked step by step through the corridor.

The decaying floorboards creaked underfoot, and the plaster peeled off the walls like snake scales, revealing bricks and stones intermittently engraved with magic patterns and incantations, exuding a chilling aura.

The mansion has a very spacious interior with a high ceiling of several tens of meters, and appears to have three floors.

Inside the dilapidated large cabinet, various discarded utensils were displayed.

One of the glass jars contained a humanoid skull with three eye sockets.

Ethan casually picked up a grinding bowl and smelled the dried, dark red solid inside.

He pursed his lips and casually tossed it down with a snap.

That's too deliberate.

It's so aesthetically unappealing!

It has a distinctly industrialized horror vibe, like buying a ticket to enter a haunted house, where everything is a pre-arranged scene.

Ethan could tell from the smell of the remaining potion in the grinding bowl that it contained Rhodiola rosea root, which could refresh the mind.

That's so unprofessional!

This is blatant disrespect to these outstanding contestants!

Ethan frowned, then sighed in frustration.

"If other students see this, they will be very disappointed and think that the organizers do not respect them."

"Luckily, I was the first one to arrive, so there was still room for improvement."

"Let's redecorate the mansion with my paintings."

"To give everyone a better experience."

Ethan smiled innocently.

He reached out and touched the leather bag in his bosom, which had been enchanted with a seamless stretching spell.

late at night.

"Found it."

Viktor Krum squinted.

My sharp gaze pierced through the thick, glass-like rain curtain and landed on the model-like white house in front of me.

"Great! Viktor! We'll definitely be the first to arrive!"

"My teammates shouted excitedly."

They were very lucky and drew the first spot to enter the forest.

And then there's Viktor, the Quidditch player, with his precise sense of direction and sharp eyesight.

Except for a few detours, they barely strayed from the path and arrived at Herpo's mansion without incident.

Krum walked at the front of the group, his bear-like physique physically deterring the restless beasts.

Their eyes were fixed on the white house, their determination to get it was absolute.

A magical barrier was cast in the sky, blocking the torrential rain.

Reaching the edge of the swamp, Krum raised his hand to stop the group, raised his wand, and said in a deep voice:

"As in training, the back row of team members are responsible for freezing the swamp and creating ice, while the front row of team members are responsible for repelling wild beasts and clearing the way!"

3

"yes!"

The light of the spell shimmered in the hazy rain.

Crunch, crunch.

With the help of rain and weather, the swamp was easily frozen over.

"Buzz!"

Mosquitoes as big as dogs swarmed over them, their sharp stingers aimed at the group!

"Crushed to pieces!"

Krum's wand emitted a red light, and the mosquito it hit instantly exploded into dust.

Spells flew everywhere, and explosions rang out incessantly.

The remains of mosquitoes scattered in profusion.

The group worked together seamlessly and arrived at the mansion without incident.

The gate is right in front of us!

"Open the door now, Victor! You'll be number one soon!"

The team members urged him on, both nervously and excitedly.

The five-person group led by Viktor Krum was Durmstrang's most elite student.

Although one person was unfortunately eliminated midway, there are still four people left.

They will definitely take down the top four in this competition!

Krum nodded, his heart pounding beneath his calm exterior.

He stepped forward, reaching out to push the door open the next second.

Xiudi fell into darkness.

"Viktor, you—ah!!"

"Don't pull me, damn it!!"

"What's going on?!"

Krum's eyes widened.

He watched in horror as his elite team members fell into the darkness along with him, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

There's no other reason than that the trap was set in such a sinister way.

He anticipated that there might be danger inside the door and made preparations accordingly.

But who would have thought that this trap would be placed right in front of the door?!

Right there on the ground directly below the doorknob?!

Who can defend against that?!

How many horses would the organizers dare to pull this off?

After the match started, Krum couldn't help but curse out loud for the first time.
