Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 83 Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall, please explain!
Ted also suddenly realized that, yes, these animal statues and the magic symbols on the ground were indeed very similar to the magic puzzles on several secret doors that he had solved before. At least they were of the same kind!
"That is to say, the statues outside the magic circle should be placed in the blank area of ​​the magic circle?" Ron asked.

Hermione stared at the magic circle and shook her head slowly, "Hiss~ No, there seems to be something wrong with the symbols in the magic circle?"

She looked at Ted. After all, Ted had completed nine years of compulsory education and barely received higher education. Although he had already returned everything to the teacher, he was still better than these kids who had never taken any serious math classes.

Moreover, his intelligence attribute is very high now, and he is very fast at mental arithmetic.

He was responsible for the calculations for solving these secret door puzzles several times before.

Ted blessed himself with "Arcane Wisdom" and used [Ravenclaw's Wisdom (Blue)] to raise his intelligence, and then began to "calculate with his fingers".

Ten seconds later, he said, "Indeed, there are several errors in the symbols in this magic circle! It should be a deliberate misleading trap!"

If you just count the representative numbers of those statues and fill in the blanks of the magic circle, you will be fooled.

As for what happens after being fooled...

Ted looked at the stone swordsmen and stone wizards standing in a row not far away. Could this be an atmosphere set to add to the atmosphere?
But who set up this level?

Also, how did Quirrell and Voldemort get through?
Judging from the appearance of the magic array, it doesn't look like it has been moved, and there are no signs of forced breaking. So was it bypassed in some way?
It seems that Professor Quirrell has spent more than half a year without any results.

Of course, the more likely possibility is that Voldemort has extraordinary powers.

Although he is now so disabled that he can only possess Quirrell and act, and his strength cannot be said to be great, the knowledge in his head is enough to deal with many situations.

A half-dead legendary dark wizard, that’s still a legend!
Ted began to calculate the correct position of the symbols and statues. It took time because he had to first figure out the "formula" represented by the magic circle and then analyze the numbers represented by the many sub-items involved.

This is also a time-consuming level.

He didn't stop Voldemort, but he stopped us!
Hermione walked around the magic circle several times with great interest, examined it carefully, and whispered, "This should be the ritual magic that Professor Flitwick mentioned, right?"

"What ritual magic? Why haven't I heard Professor Flitwick talk about it?" Ron said.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "If you'd been less distracted in class, you'd have heard about it."

Harry said, "I have heard Sirius talk about some things about ritual magic. Even the protective magic we have at 12 Grimmauld Place involves some ritual magic."

The good thing about a magic family with a long tradition is that they have everything. I'm so jealous!
Ted had probably figured it out, and whispered, "Guys, place the statues and move the symbols according to my instructions. I have to keep an eye on those things on the other side! Be careful, those things are definitely not just for show!"

After saying that, Ted picked up a stone from the ground, tapped his wand to turn it into an iron sword, and handed it to Neville.

"Neville, use this!"

Neville inexplicably took the one-handed iron sword, holding the sword in one hand and the cane in the other, and felt it was quite handy.

"Put the bull in the second row at three o'clock, and move the rune in the third row at five o'clock to the left one..."

Ted stared at the stone sculpture opposite, and sure enough, when there was a movement on this side, a stone sculpture of a swordsman on the other side also moved!

It lifted up the stone sword resting on the ground and walked over.

The heavy footsteps sounded like the beating of drums.

Neville took a step forward: "Let me do it, Ted, you continue!"

Neville first shot a "weapon of elimination" at the stone swordsman, but it only pushed him back a step.

The stone sword and the stone swordsman are one and the same, and cannot be knocked away.

Neville cast another "Stiff Legs and Dead Stand" spell, which worked, making the Stone Swordsman unable to move his legs and could only stand in place.

Ted did not waste Neville's time delaying and corrected another symbol and the corresponding statue.

But another stone swordsman also came out with a sword!
"Let me do it!" Ron took the initiative and wanted to redeem himself by making up for his previous crime.

"If your legs are stiff, you will die!" He followed suit and it worked directly.

"The slide is flat~" When the Stone Swordsman's legs were stuck and he could only move forward by rubbing his legs, he cast another spell.

This slide spell was used very skillfully. The stone swordsman, who was unable to move his legs, fell heavily on the smooth ground. The stone debris flew everywhere and his legs were stuck, so he couldn't stand up. The problem was solved in an instant!
Ted continued to work hard, and was just missing a few symbols and statues. This time, two stone swordsmen came out from the opposite side, and there was even a stone wizard holding a stone wand!
"Be careful of that wizard! Protect yourself with armor!" Ted instantly put a shield on the careless Ron to block the flying stone bullets. Although the stone wizard couldn't really use magic, he was actually a long-range one!

"Fire shock!" Ted clenched his other hand hard, and a ball of fire suddenly burst out from the stone wizard's body, almost knocking him down.

Then Ted used the "burning hand" again, and a flame spurted out from the palm of his hand, directly roasting several stone statues within a 60° range.

The stone wizard is right at the edge of the Burning Hand.

"Frost Nova!" Ted ran a few steps towards the middle of the stone statue and directly created an ice ring.

The blue magic power brought with it a large amount of cold air and spread out in all directions like an expanding ring, instantly freezing several hot stone statues.

Then, due to thermal expansion and contraction, the stone statue began to crackle.

"Oh my god! Cool~" Ron opened his mouth so wide that he could swallow a watermelon.

"Ted, your magic is so powerful! You broke them all in one go!" Jerry also praised.

Ted: Heat expands and cold contracts, kid.
If Ted wants to smash these stone statues directly, his current magical power is far from enough.

This is only possible with an advanced spell like the Shattering Spell.

Normally, only the top fifth or sixth graders can do this.

But magic is about making the impossible possible.

I have magic + science, why don't you just surrender? !
Ted placed the last statue in the only empty space, and the magic circle on the ground suddenly began to emit light. A magical power spread from the magic circle, and all the stone statues came to life!
Ted was shocked: Who set up this level? He is still playing tricks after you clear it? I can't afford it!
Fortunately, these stone statues did not attack, but spread out to both sides, raised their stone swords and crossed them, and lined up in an orderly manner to welcome them.

Ted and the others held their wands tightly and moved suspiciously between the two rows of stone statues.

Over there is another wooden door...

The room here is even bigger, it's like a stadium! The ceiling is also much higher, about ten meters high.

Now Ted is more and more certain that this underground space is definitely not natural, but a space extended by magic, arranged according to the preferences of various professors.

This room is rather strange, there is a huge chessboard in front of you!

Ted thought, this should be the level set by Professor McGonagall! Finally, I saw something familiar.

However, when I looked up, I saw a large group of things that looked like dragonflies flying around above my head.

"This..." Are you stealing Professor Flitwick's inspiration?! Professor McGonagall, you can't do this!
The friends looked at the chessboard, the door without a keyhole behind the chessboard, and then at the flying key with wings in the sky.

"Obviously, we're going to play chess!" said Ron.

"At the same time, we have to find the key?" Jerry said.

"But which one is the real one?" asked Hermione.

Harley grabbed the broomstick next to her and fiddled with it. "Looks like someone has to play chess and someone has to grab the keys."

Ted added: "Maybe they'll have to be done at the same time. If I were setting up the level."

"But...how did that mysterious man get through? He was alone, right?" Hermione asked.

Because he is Voldemort, even the levels set by the professors cannot trap him, not to mention that the professors are just designing a game and never thought of being able to stop Voldemort.

They were testing the little wizard who came in rashly!
"Don't waste time! He's been in there for a long time!" Ted didn't want everyone to remember that they were dealing with a legendary dark wizard, so as not to undermine morale.

"Ron, I'll leave the chess game to you, is that okay?" he asked.

"Ha! Just leave it to me! The magic chess that has been passed down for three generations in my family!" Ron patted his chest loudly.

"I'll go get the keys." Ted got on the broomstick, kicked his feet, and took off.
