The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 376 Fancy Jungle Play (Thanks to Elder He Jiajun for the generous reward!)

Moriarty entered the base and looked around. It resembled a circular pool, with mysterious runes engraved on the ground.

Welcome to Magic Canyon!

A clear, ethereal voice suddenly rang out.

It seems to have come from outer space, yet it also seems to have experienced the vicissitudes of life on earth.

"Get ready, the enemy will arrive on the battlefield in thirty seconds."

Tonks tensed up. "Enemy forces? Do you mean the minion wave?"

Charlie said with a hint of disdain, "Those goblins?"

The Burrow's garden is inhabited by many goblins, and the Weasley children are probably best at eliminating goblins.

"Don't be careless, the Five Threat Match is full of variables," Moriarty reminded his teammate.

"Let me assign tasks to everyone."

Moriarty looked at them and said, "Tonks, go to the middle lane. The middle lane is where all five lanes of minions meet, making it a very easy place for team fights to break out."

"If anything happens, use Michelle to send us a signal."

Tonks nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll have Michelle come out now."

As she spoke, she raised her wand and chanted, "Protector of God."

Michelle, a snow-white rabbit, jumped out of a burst of white light and hopped to Tonks' feet.

Violet glanced at the rabbit a few more times. "I miss Sophie."

Princess Sophie is a white cat belonging to the Vanjo vampire family. She's adorable, but unfortunately, pets aren't allowed in the competition.

"Then you and Tonks go to the mid lane together," Moriarty said casually.

"Yay!"

Violet bent down, picked up Michelle, and petted the rabbit like a cat.

"I remember the Guardian Angel doesn't have a physical form," Charlie said with a look of surprise. "How does she manage to masturbate so enthusiastically?"

"Never mind those details," Moriarty said, ignoring the finer points. "Charlie, you're in charge of the lane on the left. For convenience, let's call it the top lane."

"No problem, don't worry." Charlie smiled confidently.

"Jellico, you go to the bottom lane. It's the one on the right, you know?" Moriarty said in a stiff, unyielding tone.

Jericho responded with a cold snort.

"Speaking of which," Tonks asked Moriarty, "where are you going?"

"Me?" Moriarty said matter-of-factly, "Of course, I'll be the jungler."

"Jungling?" The group asked, puzzled. What did that mean?

"First, get the treasure in the bushes, then get the buff, and then go find the enemy with you guys," Moriarty explained briefly.

"The enemy will arrive on the battlefield in ten seconds!"

The voice appeared again, and everyone felt a renewed sense of anticipation.

"Ten seconds left, we're entering the battlefield." Tonks' eyes sparkled, and he turned his hair wine red.

"Bang!"

As if by magic, white smoke appeared, and suddenly a small golden man wearing a colorful top hat appeared on the ground beside him.

"Hey~ Powerful contestants, I'm an item merchant. You might just find the items to dominate the competition here!"

The little golden statue is a smiling old man, bent over, with the face of a cunning businessman.

Moriarty thought the design was likely inspired by the appearance of the owner of the Burkin-Bock store.

"It's such a hassle to have to go back to base to buy things every time," Violet pouted. She hated anything troublesome. "It would be great if we could buy things anytime, anywhere."

"The enemy will arrive on the battlefield in five seconds!"

Moriarty and his five men stood in a row, ready to rush out at any moment.

The countdown began to play in my ears.

Five, four, three, two, one!

"Goblins attack!"

Moriarty and his group of five rushed out of the base and saw three red magic circles in front of them. Three teams of goblins appeared out of thin air from the magic circles and walked out unsteadily.

"Haha, they're even wearing clothes."

Charlie was overjoyed; the goblin soldier was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with the Hogwarts crest on it, which he found very amusing.

"Hey? Moriarty, what are you doing?" Tonks suddenly noticed that Moriarty was stunned, standing motionless in front of the magic circle.

"I'm fine, you guys go first."

Moriarty stared intently at the magic circle, his voice hoarse, his eyes gleaming.

Laymen watch the spectacle, experts watch the details.

Charlie's only concern about whether the goblins were wearing clothes when they came out of the magic circle.

Moriarty, on the other hand, saw the wonder of the magic circle.

So far, he has discovered two functions of the magic circle: teleporting goblins and controlling goblins.

The magic circle is inscribed with ancient runes, which are undoubtedly the source of the magical effects.

Moriarty stared at it for a long time, confirming that it did not belong to any kind of magical script he knew.

"This is really interesting. I'm increasingly eager to meet the person who designed Magic Canyon."

Moriarty was thrilled to discover new knowledge. He had thought the final would be boring, but he never expected to gain so much.

As Moriarty walked along the road, he couldn't help but recall everything about Magic Canyon.

If all of this was created by one person, then that person's strength is no less than Dumbledore's.

Moriarty's lips curled into a mischievous smile; Old Deng had become a unit of measurement.

This means there are four powerful beings at the level of Dumbledore in Hogwarts!

He himself, Dumbledore, the Princess, and the creator of Magic Valley.

"With a lineup like this, how can you, Hanyu Kafu, possibly cause trouble?" Moriarty was highly skeptical.

but……

If Ye Jingyu comes to Hogwarts, the Princess will be with them.

It's hard to say what the outcome will be.

In short, until everything is settled, we must remain vigilant.

While his mind raced with thoughts, Moriarty was "farming" in the jungle.

Although it's called "jungling," the competition rules actually prohibit attacking magical creatures.

Therefore, Moriarty adopted a different approach when dealing with the magical creatures guarding the treasure.

The first monster Moriarty encountered was a long-horned water snake.

A dangerous magical creature of level 5×, found in the UK, but also widely active in North America.

It must have been brought from the United States by Principal Dawn; Ifamoni School even has an academy named after a long-horned water snake.

However, Principal Dawn clearly forgot that Moriarty possessed the talent of "Parsleyan".

Moriarty easily obtained 10 gold coins and a sapphire with a small buff by communicating with the long-horned water snake in Parseltongue.

The ability to become invisible for 5 seconds is very useful, but unfortunately it's a one-time use item.

The longhorned water snake even volunteered that she could contact her brothers and sisters.

Let them steal all the treasures in the jungle from the four teams and present them to Moriarty.

The second monster is the Eight-Eyed Spider.

They were a family of three, and together they were about half the size of Hagrid.

The eight-eyed spider loves to eat meat, so Moriarty turned the three small grasses next to him into three large pieces of beef and fed them to the eight-eyed spider.

They successfully obtained the treasure they were guarding: 15 gold coins and a small bottle of spider venom.

It's obvious that the venom has been diluted, greatly reducing its toxicity; it can only temporarily paralyze the enemy.

This must be Professor Snape's work.

Moriarty put away the small poison bottle and continued walking towards the next monster.

Having learned from his previous experience, Moriarty understood what the treasure was.

Besides gold coins, there are also some small items.

The magical effects of these items are linked to the monster's own abilities.

For example, the invisibility gem is because one species of longhorn water snake has a gem on its forehead, which is said to grant the snake the ability to become invisible and fly.

The small poison bottle is also because the venom of the eight-eyed spider is highly poisonous.

The third monster is the Ramora fish.

It was swimming in a small pond.

When Moriarty saw it, he exclaimed, "By Merlin!"

It is silvery-white all over, the size of a normal fish, but it has a large sucker on its head, which makes it look extremely strange.

If it weren't for Marcus constantly reading "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" over and over again...

Moriarty dared to say he genuinely didn't recognize him.

The Lamora fish is not very aggressive, but it is troublesome to swim around, and Moriarty cannot speak the language of fish.

This is where water elemental magic came in handy.

Moriarty manipulated the water in the pond to reveal the treasure hidden beneath.

The Lamora fish's two eyes are wide open, as if to say, "You're cheating."

Moriarty shrugged at it. "Can a wizard's magic be considered cheating? That's perfectly reasonable."

Having obtained the treasure, Moriarty gained another 15 gold coins.

There was also a small round ball the size of a golden sly.

It's a small gadget that you throw out and it slows down enemies temporarily when it lands on the ground.

Like the Invisibility Gem, the slow effect lasts for 5 seconds and is also a one-time use item.

"The little guy also has the ability to slow down."

Moriarty glanced at the Lamora fish with some surprise, then left.

He silently calculated the time in his mind, wondering when the next wave of gold coins and treasures would appear.

Thank you so much, He Jiajun, for the generous donation of 10,000 points! Congratulations also to He Jiajun for becoming the first Elder of this book! According to the bonus chapter rules, I will be adding 5 extra chapters! Three chapters today, and two more tomorrow. This is the first chapter, featuring three magical creatures. Their abilities are not made up, but based on real-life examples. In the author's notes in the next chapter, I will introduce the monsters in Magic Canyon. Also, please note that this is a five-pointed star map, not like in a game. I've always thought this would be more fun.
