Chapter 591: Decoration of the Stadium
"Except your weapons!"
"Collapse!"
The light of the spell flew across the wall, hitting the wall and causing gravel to fly, but it hit no one.
One of the two newcomers was Lucas from Beauxbatons, who still had marks of being burned by fire on his body;
The other was Seraphina of Ilvermorny. She was not injured, but was covered in dirt and looked very embarrassed.
The air was filled with a damp smell, which made people feel a little depressed. The two looked at each other vigilantly and moved slowly.
"Two people have come in from the front and they may attack at any time." Lucas said suddenly.
"You're right," Seraphina said wearily.
Lucas: "Before we find the golden egg, I think we should temporarily join forces, what do you think?"
"I think that makes sense." Seraphina agreed.
"Then... I'll count to three and we'll put down our wands together?" Lucas asked tentatively.
"Okay." Seraphina agreed readily, pointing her wand firmly at the other party and taking every step very carefully.
Lucas: "..."
His smile was a little stiff, and then he took a deep breath: "One... two... three!"
A gust of wind came from nowhere and blew through the dead leaves, and the two men's wands remained motionless.
Wade quietly enlarged the mirror a little and watched with relish.
"You didn't put down your wand."
"Neither did you."
"How about this..." Lucas smiled and made a new suggestion: "Since we can't trust each other, why don't we each choose a channel to explore?"
"Okay, you go first." Seraphina was still very happy.
Lucas: "..."
How could he possibly expose his back to others?
"Together," he said. "We go at the same time."
While being on guard against each other, the two men slowly retreated towards the entrance of the passage, moving slowly sideways like two crabs.
Suddenly, Lucas's attention was attracted by a faint reflection of light, which was just behind Seraphina, but the girl did not notice it because she was staring at Lucas.
The corners of his mouth rose briefly, but he was worried that his gaze would alert the other person, so he quickly looked away.
This subtle expression lasted only a very short time, but Seraphina kept staring at Lucas. Although she couldn't see the changes in his expression clearly, her intuition told her that something was wrong.
Seraphina frowned slightly and waved her wand decisively: "Fall to the ground!"
Lucas watched Seraphina enter the passage and was expecting something to happen. In a split second, a red beam of light flew towards his chest.
The boy dove to the side, but Seraphina quickly chased him: "Stupe! Stuppe! Stuppe!"
The Stunning Spell was her best spell, and she could use it without thinking.
The last spell hit Lucas, and he instantly lost consciousness and fell straight to the ground.
Seraphina breathed a sigh of relief and cast another binding spell, then frowned and looked back at the passage she was about to enter.
Lucas's reaction just now proved that he must have seen something.
However, as she turned around, Wade had quickly put the mirror back.
Several beams of light from detection spells fell near the entrance to the passage, causing the traps on the ground to emit a faint light.
After finding the problem, Seraphina's frown relaxed, but then after thinking about it carefully, her face darkened again.
She had used a detection spell to confirm the location of the trap, but Lucas was able to spot it with his naked eyes from such a distance, which was enough to prove the huge gap between the two.
If that guy hadn't suddenly relaxed his mind, I would definitely be the loser.
Thinking of this, Seraphina's mood became heavy, and the sense of accomplishment that she had originally felt for successfully passing the fire dragon's obstruction disappeared in an instant.
She was already outstanding in Ilvermorny, but after leaving school she was surprised to find that there were many people in the wider world who were better than her.
Seraphina was depressed for a moment, then continued to move forward, her determination to win becoming stronger. She still chose the previous passage.
There was an ambush here, but wasn't there an ambush in the other passage? Since she had discovered the trap in this place, this route was relatively safer.
……
Seraphina couldn't hear, at this moment, a nervous gasp was heard in the stands, but her headmaster, Gilbert, sighed softly.
As the headmaster of Ilvermorny, he knew exactly what Seraphina was thinking. After all, she was a student he had watched grow up. He also knew that Seraphina's choice was not wrong, but unfortunately...
The wizard's fingers kept tapping on his thighs, and he looked at the girl in the mirror with a serious look.
Karkaroff glanced at Agilbert with a gloating smile on his face. He said in a sweet tone:
"The girl's spells are good, but luck is also part of strength, right, Gilbert?"
Gilbert snorted coldly, leaned back in his seat, and glanced at Karkaroff with great disdain.
"Karkaroff, from what I understand... your reputation in Durmstrang is not very good. Viktor Krum is indeed excellent, but is it you who taught him to be excellent?"
He looked Karkaroff up and down and sneered. Although he didn't say it out loud, his eyes undoubtedly said, "With you? Are you worthy?"
Karkaroff was immediately furious.
……
"Except your weapons!"
Seraphina was hit by the beam almost as soon as she heard Vader chanting the spell. Her wand flew out of her hand and she took several steps back until she hit the wall and stopped.
She looked up in surprise and saw Vader walking out of the shadows.
"Ved Grey?" Seraphina forced a smile and said, "I thought we were on friendly terms. Didn't you go looking for the golden egg?"
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes, looking around for any chance of a comeback.
However, Wade didn't waste any words with her. He shook his wand quickly and said, "Faint!"
The moment he opened his mouth, Seraphina decisively pounced on Vader, trying to snatch the wand from his hand, or at least deflect the direction of the spell.
But while chanting the spell, Wade actually took a step back. Seraphina took a big step and suddenly tripped halfway through her rush, as if she had stepped on her shoelaces.
She fell forward, her face full of horror, and was hit by a stun spell. Her body went limp and she fell to the ground instantly.
A longhorn beetle puppet crawled out from Seraphina's feet. Wade waved his hand, and seven or eight puppets worked together to lift Seraphina up like ants moving house, then took her to the depths of the passage and threw her directly into a trap.
The huge spider slowly crawled over, "looked" at the prey that fell into the spider web, hesitated for a while, and then wrapped the translucent spider silk around her body in circles.
Vader glanced in that direction, then returned to the corner, sat down quietly and waited.
The warriors who challenge the fire dragon do not come on stage in batches. Instead, the next contestant will come on stage immediately after the previous person fails or enters the next level.
So it won’t be long before new prey falls off the compass.
……
Next to the spider web, two invisible Aurors were discussing in a voice that only they could hear:
"Send Seraphina Picqueri and Lucas Barrow out?"
"Were they mortally wounded?"
"of course not."
"That's not necessary. The remains of the forerunners' tragic defeat are also an embellishment to the stadium."
"But if this continues, Wade Grey will take half of the golden eggs by himself, right? I see that the scorpion puppet will soon get the fourth one."
"…This is the result of his personal strength. We should not interfere."
"Really? But I don't think the higher-ups would want to see this result."
"...Let me ask for your instructions."
……
Wade opened his eyes and took the fourth golden egg from the puppet with a faint smile on his face.
