With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

"Congratulations on winning the championship!"

"congratulations!"

"おめでとう（o_mei_de_do）"

……

The whole process was incredibly impressive, like a grand parade, and the audience was so excited that cheers rose in waves.

Hermione and Fleur, standing among them, had flushed faces, whether from pride or shyness, it was hard to tell.

But Hermione always felt that the ritual was strange, as if the people outside the maze had turned into orange juice.

Behind them, the invisible Tonks and Cirira followed them out.

They also felt that the scene was a bit exaggerated, but when they thought about the origin of the tree spirit and flower fairy, they suddenly felt that it was normal for it to be a bit exaggerated.

It can only be said that he is truly capable of attracting the attention of so many girls at the same time. Fleur and Hermione will probably never forget their experience, and whenever they think of this experience, they will probably think of him, the one who created it.

That's the skill of a true master.

Both of them were secretly envious.

Unfortunately, they have all graduated and are no longer of age to participate in this kind of competition.

They need to work on what truly matters.

Thinking of this, the two quickened their pace, left the maze, and headed to the Forbidden Forest to meet up with their men.

Hermione and Fleur were already basking in their own glory.

Meanwhile, the other players are still battling it out in the maze, struggling for the remaining rankings.

Estella Dumont continued her duel with the berserk Krum. After several rounds, she could not withstand her opponent's wild attacks and eventually collapsed to the ground under Krum's onslaught.

"【Heart-piercing and bone-scraping】!"

Krum coldly chanted the incantation, and a sinister green light danced at the tip of his wand, poised to strike.

Professor Flitwick then realized that Krum's intention was not simply to compete, but to kill his opponent.

The professor tried to stop him, but it was too late.

The deadly green spark hurtled toward Estella, about to strike her heart.

Suddenly, thick vines burst forth from the ground and the nearby hedges, tightly protecting Estella.

Sparks from the [Crushing Heart Curse] struck the vines, scorching them black.

But Estella escaped unharmed.

At the same time, a woman covered in various plants appeared and sternly rebuked Krum:

"Stop! She is incapacitated and cannot resist. According to the rules set by Lord Levin, you are not allowed to lay a hand on her!"

Beside her, thick vines resembled giant pythons poised to strike, as if they would rush forward and tie Krum up tightly at the slightest provocation.

Crouch Jr. observed from the shadows, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, Levin Green's 'tree spirits' are still in the maze? So they were the so-called hidden patrolmen!"

He dared not risk letting Krum continue to entangle him, fearing that this tool would be subdued by the tree spirit, and then where would he find a new scapegoat?

So, he had no choice but to make Krum obediently leave.

As the tree spirit watched Krum walk away, it turned around, gently helped Estella Dumont up, and placed its other hand on her chest.

As a green light flashed in her hand, Estella's pale face visibly regained its color.

It is the tree spirit's healing method: [Rejuvenation Technique].

"Miss Tree Spirit, thank you for your help."

Professor Flitwick finally appeared and expressed his gratitude for the help.

However, the tree spirit merely nodded slightly and remained silent.

Professor Flitwick was not surprised by this. When he was building the labyrinth, he and the other professors had already experienced how shy and timid these tree spirits were—no one except Levin himself had managed to strike up a conversation with them.

He offered, "Then, how about I escort her safely out of the maze?"

However, the tree spirit simply shook its head: "No need."

After saying that, she gently picked up Estella, and her whole body blended into the hedge, disappearing into the lush greenery.

Seconds later, at one of the maze's exits, the tree spirit nimbly emerged from the hedges carrying Estella and handed her over to the anxiously waiting Madam Pomfrey.

"Oh, thank you for bringing her out, Miss Tree Spirit."

Pomfrey was very enthusiastic about the green-haired woman in front of her. After taking Estella Dumont from her, she asked her with great interest what the green light she had seen earlier was.

Miss Tree Spirit was clearly overwhelmed by such enthusiasm, and like a startled fawn, she immediately darted into the hedge and disappeared.

Upon witnessing the scene unfold on live television, Estella Dumont's parents immediately issued a strong protest to Durmstrang on behalf of the prominent French Dumont family.

Mrs. Cacalo is numb.

He did put Krum under rigorous training and put immense pressure on him to win the championship.

But that doesn't mean he allowed Krum to use the Unforgivable Curse!

Could it be that Krum has gone completely insane under the pressure?

Now, Durmström's championship aspirations have fallen short, and he also has to endure criticism from others, making it a truly devastating defeat.

For ordinary viewers, this match was truly an eye-opener.

They witnessed the brilliance of the true geniuses of the younger generation. Hermione and Fleur both used unconventional methods to navigate the maze and ultimately won the first and second place awards, respectively.

They also witnessed the cruelty and reality of the three-way battle. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a warrior dared to cast an unforgivable curse on another warrior, and now he went to attack another player from the same school. This kind of cold-bloodedness of doing whatever it takes to achieve one's goal is shocking.

What surprised the audience even more was the variety of strange creatures they encountered during the competition:

Needless to say, the various magical animals and plants used as part of the levels to hinder the players' progress...

Even more noteworthy are the part-time patrolmen hidden within the maze.

Not only do they possess the magical ability to manipulate plants, but each of them is also incredibly beautiful. The appearance of the flower fairies and tree spirits gives the audience the feeling that a fairy tale has actually come true.

Chapter 432 Harry's Lucky Day

In Harry's eyes, today seemed to be his lucky day, because the fourth game went even more smoothly than expected.

On his journey through the maze, he didn't encounter any particularly difficult obstacles; the solutions all seemed quite obvious, and he could usually overcome them with one or two spells.

The magical creatures he encountered were like old friends, familiar faces from last year's class: the lively Hinkpunk and the loyal Bowtruckle. To him, these creatures felt like a pleasant review of his knowledge.

The only thing that gave him a slight headache was a Dementor, but he was now quite skilled with the Patronus Charm, and the creature that once terrified him was no longer frightening in his presence.

In his view, the biggest problem he faced was that the maze was too winding. He had taken too many steps and hadn't encountered a single other contestant. Had they all already reached the finish line before him?

Harry had no idea that his smooth journey was entirely due to the efforts of two people.

The first one is naturally Viktor Krum. After eliminating Estella Dumont, this guy betrayed his own family and went after Polyakov, who was from the same school.

Caught off guard, Polyakov was directly struck by his "Crushing Curse" and fainted on the spot.

He was arrested on the spot by Haig, the security officer in charge of Polyakov, and Crouch, who pretended to have just found him and was disguised as Moody.

To outsiders, it could be said that Victor Krum single-handedly dragged two people down with him, clearing a maze for Harry with no rivals, turning the game from PvP to PvE, making Harry's schedule much easier.

From this perspective, Krum is hardly Harry's rival; he's practically his adoptive father.

And the second person he should thank is Levin.

Levin went to great lengths to get Harry to finish the match as soon as possible so everyone could leave work early.

Using his Arcane Eye ability, he ran ahead of Harry and then used his line of sight to eliminate all the more threatening obstacles, leaving him only the simplest ones to make him move faster.

Even so, Harry still wandered aimlessly through the maze like a headless fly, and because he didn't like making marks, he took a lot of wrong turns.

Harry's record is walking down a corridor seven times without realizing he's been walking the same path the whole time.

This left Levin feeling utterly exhausted.

He had considered that Harry might be bad, but he never expected him to be this bad.

Being a nanny for such a "savior" must have been exhausting for him.

Perhaps this is the retribution I'm getting for depriving the Savior of the opportunity to gain experience over the past four years.

He secretly vowed that he would definitely make Harry suffer next semester, and if he helped Harry again, he would be a dog.

Levin, while complaining, led Harry to a mushroom circle by controlling the growth of the hedges.

This is a shortcut he set up in the maze. As long as you step into this mushroom circle, you can be instantly teleported to a location very close to the center of the maze.

However, to everyone's surprise, at this crucial moment, Harry caused trouble again.

"Could this be some kind of trap?" Faced with the strange mushrooms shimmering with colorful light, Harry hesitated and took a step back.

"Have you ever seen a trap this obvious?!" Levin thought to himself, cursing wildly.

Seeing that Harry was still reluctant to cooperate, he finally decided to take drastic measures.

He waved his wand, summoning a living horticultural plant that appeared in the corridor behind Harry.

This living horticultural plant is exactly the same as the one Hermione faced before, except that she faced an elephant, while this time the attacker is a wild boar.

At Levin's command, the boar immediately charged in Harry's direction.

By the time Harry realized the threat behind him, it was too late.

He was headbutted by a wild boar and fell headfirst into the mushroom circle.

The next moment, he appeared in another mushroom circle, directly crossing a distance of tens of meters to reach the core area of ​​the maze.

Harry also noticed this; the maze was made up of concentric circles of hexagons, and with each step closer to the center, the side length of the hexagons gradually decreased.

"Haha, looks like I've found a shortcut. I'm really lucky today!" Harry exclaimed happily.

The audience in the stands shared this view.

Levin sulked alone in the corner: "What bullshit luck! I was the one who was secretly helping him out the whole time."

Now that we're close to the center of the maze, the rest of the way is easier, since there aren't many forks in the road.
