Chapter 589: Making a Puppet
Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets has gone through several changes since the basilisk was killed.
At the beginning, it was a tourist attraction. Students often came here to relive the battle between a group of students and the basilisk, and to pick up some souvenirs from the secret room.
Later, the school began to renovate the secret room. When Professor Abigail was still teaching them, she once wanted to bring the students to this place for practical training.
Afterwards, Professor Abigail resigned hastily, the school began to prepare for the competition, and the secret room was closed again and continued to be expanded and constructed.
Now, Wade finally saw the effect of the secret room after its transformation. The entire space was expanded at least ten times. Except for the two obvious passages around it, there seemed to be not many hidden corners on the surface, but in fact, there were traces of magic traps everywhere.
There is also a golden compass in the middle of the room, which is slowly rotating. After finding the golden egg, you must return to this place and use the portkey to return to the competition venue again to complete the first event.
Wade narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around the particularly eerie-looking venue.
He was not worried about how to find the golden egg. For Wade, how to reasonably complete the game goals without exposing too much of his own strength was more of a headache.
Because for him, a lot of magic has almost been integrated into his bones and blood, and he uses it naturally. It is really not easy to control this instinct.
When he was fighting the fire dragon before, the armor spell he used seemed to be a little bit over the standard... But this is not a big problem. To be selected by the Goblet of Fire, he must be good at something, otherwise how could he stand out and become a warrior?
Just as Vader was planning a route into the passage that avoided all the traps, he suddenly heard a scream and groan from behind him.
He turned around immediately and saw Isabella kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath.
She looked horribly miserable, with burn marks all over her face and arms, and even fire on her clothes.
"You are... Isabella?" Wade took two steps closer and asked, "Do you need help?"
Before he finished speaking, he waved his wand naturally and said clearly: "Clear water like a spring!"
A stream of water spurted out from the wand, landing on the girl and extinguishing the still jumping flames.
Seeing Wade, Isabella nervously grasped her wand. When she saw the young man in front of her raise his wand, her nerves were stretched to the extreme. If she hadn't been in severe pain all over her body, she would have almost jumped up and fought back.
But after hearing the spell, Isabella relaxed a little.
She also used the water spell, and the running cold water poured on the burned area, the pain was relieved, and she couldn't help but groan.
"Thank you, I'm much better now." Isabella smiled and asked, "Wade, did you find the golden egg?"
At the same time, Isabella chuckled in her heart, thankful that Weed Grey was still young after all, and had a scholarly personality and lacked aggression.
If someone else had stood here, he might have fallen down.
"No." Wade shook his head, pointed to the passage on the left, and said, "I was just about to explore this side when I saw you suddenly appear."
Isabella secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's hurry up and look for it, otherwise more people will come in and our chances of finding the golden egg will decrease... Since you want to go to the left, I'll go to the right."
"Okay." Wade naturally had no objection.
He seemed to be still worried about Isabella's injury. He agreed verbally, but he didn't move his feet. He just watched the girl limp away. Isabella walked naturally to another passage. In fact, 80% of her attention was on Wade behind her. She was worried that Wade would suddenly attack her, and she also wanted to see if there was a chance to send this simple alchemist away.
Although Wade had just helped her a little, as long as they were on the field, everyone except their own people were opponents, and any mercy was unnecessary.
However, a person's attention span is limited, and when she focused most of her energy on Vader, her attention to the surrounding environment naturally decreased.
Wade's eyes jumped slightly when he saw that just as the girl stepped into the passage, a large bulge suddenly appeared on the seemingly very flat stone ground under her feet. Isabella quickly jumped to the side, but the bulge suddenly exploded!
A thick green smoke "swallowed" Isabella like a rapidly growing mushroom!
Wade quickly took two steps back, but the green smoke did not continue to expand. It shrank back just as it touched the wall of the passage, leaving only a warrior lying unconscious on the ground.
He sighed sympathetically. "What a shame. If you hadn't been distracted, you would have had a chance to discover the trap."
Wade slowly walked towards Isabella and confirmed that she was completely unconscious. Then he picked up her wand and waved it lightly, spraying out a golden spark.
A black-robed wizard suddenly appeared out of thin air. He looked at Wade strangely, then reached out and held Isabella's arm.
Wade recognized that this was an Auror who had worked with Kingsley before. He was holding a small crystal bottle in his palm. When he touched Isabella, the air around them twisted and the two of them disappeared from where they were in an instant.
Wade stood at the entrance of the passage that trapped Isabella and looked inside.
Well... the traces of magic are not densely packed, but all kinds of traps are placed in unexpected places. If someone is in a hurry to find the golden egg and is not careful enough, he might trigger one after taking a few steps.
But, knowing that there are traps inside, why would you still wade through the mines?
Wade carefully walked around the area of the explosive bag and found a secluded corner not far from the passage to sit down.
——This place looks very convenient for hiding something, but it is actually clean; the dark green vine that can be seen everywhere under the corner of the wall not far ahead is actually a devil's snare that is good at camouflage.
Wade whispered a spell and waved his wand. The surrounding weeds, dead leaves, vines, stones, teeth and bones of small animals, and fingernail-sized scales all began to tremble and automatically gathered towards Wade without wind.
The rules simply prohibit bringing puppets, but do not prohibit making puppets on site, right?
As an alchemist, a student of Master Mori, and the inventor of puppets, his ability to make puppets is a well-known skill of his and there is no need to hide it.
As the spell took effect, a dozen palm-sized "creatures" stood up tremblingly.
They seem to have the word "crudely made" written all over them. They look like weird-looking insects, with stones as eyes, dead grass and vines as bodies, the horns on their heads are pieces of bone spurs, and a few leaves as embellishments on their bodies.
Wade waved his wand again, with the tip of the wand against his forehead, and pulled out a small piece of silver "thought", divided it into a dozen parts, and injected it into the bodies of these small insects.
In the blink of an eye, their movements became much more agile, and their trembling tentacles seemed to be exploring the world around them.
Of course, the material of this puppet is too simple and easily damaged. Even under normal circumstances, it can't last for long.
"Snapped!"
Wade didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and all the little puppets froze instantly as if they had received a unified command.
The next second, they waved their claws and crawled quickly into the depths of the passage.
