The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 284 The Dark Lord is so awesome! (asking for monthly votes)
In the restricted area on the third floor, in the trap level below the trapdoor.

Under the stunned gaze of Harry and Ron, the young wizards of Hufflepuff once again proved that the saying "there is strength in numbers" is accurate in the wizarding world.

This was supposed to be a level of chess skill testing, but Justin and his friends turned it into a one-sided capture of pieces.

Every time it was the opponent's turn to move a chess piece, they would use several rounds of petrification spell to petrify that chess piece. In the end, they won the game without losing a single chess piece.

Rumble!
The road behind the chessboard was opened, and the little Hufflepuff wizards stepped into it in neat steps to face the next level.

".Is this still Hufflepuff? They're like an army." Ron couldn't help swallowing.

"Yeah! They are all so awesome."

Harry said a little disappointedly, he thought he would be the protagonist in the adventure story, but he ended up being just a spectator.

What was even more painful was that he found that he did not have the abilities as those little Hufflepuff wizards.

"Let's go, let's follow and see!"

Seeing that Justin and others had gone far away, Harry urged, he still had a fantasy in his heart.

Maybe Justin and the others will encounter unsolvable difficulties in the future, but they can be solved by themselves?
Harry took the lead and walked through the stone chess pieces on the ground, followed by Roan. Soon they saw the group of Hufflepuff badgers again.

"preparation!"

"All petrified!"

"All petrified!"

"."

Compared to the more uniform and orderly magic rainbow light at the beginning, it shot towards a poor giant monster in waves like a rain of arrows.

This giant monster is from the same tribe as the one that was crushed to death by Mu Sheng on Halloween.

Compared to the giant monster that was tortured and died tragically by the "Bullshit Curse", being petrified by the Petrification Curse was already very lucky.

After several rounds of fire, a giant stone statue several meters high appeared on the ground, raising a stick and swinging it.

"Stop attacking!"

Seeing that the troll had completely lost its ability to move, Justin shouted to everyone to stop the attack.

The little wizards, who had been trembling with nervousness when facing the three-headed dog, were now able to deal with the trolls calmly.

"Comrades! We have overcome another obstacle that was hindering our progress!

Victory said: Make up your mind, fear no sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and strive for victory!

Let's keep going! Let's finish this trial in one go!"

Encouraged by Justin, the young wizards continued to charge towards the next level with high momentum.

"Harry, what does comrade mean?"

"I don't know. It should be a title, like the Auror in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic."

"Is that so? It sounds amazing."

After dealing with the troll, the only thing standing in everyone's way was Snape's puzzle level.

The forward and backward roads in the room were blocked by black and purple flames respectively.

These deep-colored flames look dangerous and can easily burn a person into ashes.

In front of the black flame at the exit, there was a table with seven bottles of different sizes and shapes on it.

There was also a piece of parchment next to it, which contained the game rules for this level.

"We need to find the right antidote to pass the road behind the black flame." Hannah picked up the parchment and read it carefully.

"Is this level a test of wisdom? Then does that mean our firepower coverage is useless?"

"It's too difficult to find the antidote with just a few clues, isn't it?"

"."

For wizards, this kind of questions that test logical thinking are definitely the most brain-burning things.

Although Hogwarts is a seven-year program, the courses it offers are diverse and cover all knowledge in the wizarding world.

But there is really no subject that teaches mathematics and logical thinking!

After all, idealistic magic doesn't require these. No matter what logic or illogical it is, just cast the spell mindlessly and it's done.

Justin was born in the Muggle world and learned mathematics and logical thinking.

But unfortunately, he is a poor student!
"The poison is to the left of the nettle wine and then..." Hannah felt a headache the more she pondered. "What a hassle! Isn't this question too difficult?"

"It makes me dizzy," Ernie agreed. "And even if we find the antidote, this small bottle won't be enough for so many of us!"

Just when everyone was at a loss, Justin stood up without panic:

"Only those who are not strong enough need to use wisdom to solve problems! Don't forget what the song says!"

Justin waved his fist and sang to the beat: "Unity is strength! Unity is strength!"

The other little Hufflepuff wizards heard his singing and started singing along:

"This power is iron! This power is steel! Harder than iron, stronger than steel."

The neat and powerful voices echoed in the room, leaving Harry and Ron confused.

An incompatible thick barrier stood between the two of them and the group of young Hufflepuff wizards.

"Harry," Ron whispered in Harry's ear, "Do you feel the same way as the witches who were burned to death in the Middle Ages faced the religious knights?"

“It’s really frustrating!”

Ron shuddered uncontrollably as he spoke, feeling uncomfortable no matter how he listened.

"Me too, I feel like I have goosebumps all over my body!" Harry agreed.

For some reason, this fanatical scene reminded him of the German Nazis described in his elementary school textbooks.

Although he had never seen what the Nazis looked like, it was probably something like this, right?
"Use spells on dark wizards!"

"Spread the divine light throughout the world!"

"Towards the sun!"

"Towards freedom!"

"To the Magic God!"

"Send out a thousand-foot light!"

After singing the war song, everyone was filled with fighting spirit again.

They had already passed through so many traps and checkpoints, how could they be blocked by a ball of fire?
“Victori said: Don’t fall into the rules and regulations that the enemy has set for us!

What a puzzle, what a cure!
I don’t understand. I won’t look for it anymore!
We must leverage our strengths and use the power of the masses to crush all evildoers!"

Justin raised his arm and pointed his wand at the black flames blocking the exit.

"Listen to my command! Clear spring like water! Ready!"

Twenty-four little wizards raised their wands in unison.

"put!!!"

Everyone waved their wands at the same time and chanted the spell loudly:

"Clear springs are like water!"

Twenty-four magical rainbow lights, like a volley of cannons, drew brilliant streaks of light in the sky.

It fell directly onto the ball of black flame!
Dozens of water streams were poured onto the black flames out of thin air, making a hissing sound. Steaming water vapor filled the room, and the black flames became unstable, and the flames began to shake violently.

"I knew they were going to use brute force again. This isn't magic at all!"

Harry wanted to cry. Why did such an adventure of wits and courage turn out like this?

This is too unstory-based, and more importantly, he was not involved at all!

After dozens of salvos, the room had become like a sauna, with thick white steam almost blocking the view.

The crumbling black flames were finally extinguished completely by another volley of spells!

"Wuh~ We succeeded!"

"Victori is right, the power of the masses is the most powerful!"

The little Hufflepuff wizards immediately cheered.

After venting their excitement, everyone lined up again and walked into the last room in neat steps.

In a room as empty as an auditorium, there stood a lonely mirror, the Mirror of Erised!
The Philosopher's Stone that Harry had been dreaming about was originally hidden in the Mirror of Erised, but it was taken away by Mu Sheng in advance.

As everyone arrived, a picture suddenly appeared on the Mirror of Erised.

In the deep night sky, a spark flew from the ground into the sky and exploded into a big firework.

As the fireworks in the mirror bloomed, many flowers and ribbons burst out from the frame of the Mirror of Erised.

Lines of words condensed in the air, celebrating their passing the trial and becoming official members of the Guangyao Society.

The little badgers who saw this scene once again burst into warm cheers, and everyone was immersed in the joy of successfully joining the club.

Except Harry
"That's not right! Where's the Philosopher's Stone? Why isn't there a Philosopher's Stone here?"

Harry searched around unwillingly, but there was nothing here except the Mirror of Erised.

"How could this happen when there's no Philosopher's Stone and Snape isn't here? Hagrid clearly let it slip that the Philosopher's Stone is kept here!"

"Why not?"

Harry felt a sense of loss as if his obsession was shattered. For the past school year, he had regarded preventing Snape from stealing the Philosopher's Stone as his mission and responsibility.

In the end, the trap level was cracked and broken by the Hufflepuff badgers, and there was no Philosopher's Stone or Snape here.

"Is this really the Hufflepuff Trial Grounds? I found the wrong place."

"But the three-headed dog Fluffy is guarding the trapdoor? No, Hagrid said Fluffy falls asleep when he hears music."

"And the three-headed dog above was petrified by the petrification spell, so it's not actually Fluffy?

Am I wrong? "

Harry fell into self-doubt and even began to doubt whether the Philosopher's Stone really existed!
Maybe it was all his own fantasy. There was no Philosopher's Stone, no Gringotts, and even no wizarding world.
He was actually still at his aunt's house in Privet Drive, huddled in a tiny cubicle under the stairs.

All this was just a dream he had!

"So I'm mentally ill! That's right, how can an ordinary person make glass disappear and a sweater shrink?"

Harry suddenly realized what was going on, and when he looked up again, he found that the group of Hufflepuff little wizards had disappeared.

This made Harry even more certain of his speculation, otherwise how could so many people disappear out of thin air!

"Harry, are you okay?" Ron asked timidly.

He noticed something was wrong with Harry ever since he came in here, and it felt even more serious now.

"Ron? Why haven't you disappeared yet?" Harry looked at Ron in surprise, then thought of the reason: "Yes, you are a supporting role with a lot of scenes, it's not time for you to leave yet."

Seeing that Harry was becoming more and more abnormal, Ron was a little at a loss.

The poor brain thought for a while and then slapped him.

"Snapped!!!"

A clear slap mark appeared on Harry's cheek.

The severe pain shook Harry's dazed mind and he woke up instantly.

He covered his cheek with a grin and said, "Ron, what are you doing? It hurts!"

"Harry, you're fine! You scared me to death, I thought you were cursed."

After seeing Harry become normal, Ron finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you remember what happened just now?"

Just now?

Harry was stunned for a moment, then he thought of his behavior just now. A feeling of shame surged in his heart and his face turned red.

No, I can't let Ron know what I just thought. He will laugh at me for the whole school year.

"No, I don't remember! It just happened."

Just as Harry was about to deny it, a sharp pain suddenly came from the lightning scar on his forehead.

“Ah ...

Harry cried out in pain, a pain he had never felt before.

"Oh my god, Harry, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know." Harry covered his forehead in pain, and some blurry images flashed before his eyes from time to time.

"There are so many people on the ground, looking at me."

"I felt like I was in heaven. Someone was talking to me."

"Have"

A red light flashed before his eyes, and Harry felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

"Oh! No, Harry, don't die."

Ron watched in horror as Harry collapsed to the ground, thinking he was dead.

He fell to his knees, hugged Harry's body and said in pain: "Is there anyone here? Come and help me, Harry."

Sniff!

After crying for a while, Ron suddenly smelled a foul odor.

Looking down, he found a large wet spot in the middle of Harry's pants. The sour and rotten smell came from there.

"Oh my Merlin! Harry you peed in your pants. Ugh."

"Attention, audience friends! Next, I will show you how to survive when you encounter a wild Dark Lord!"

Mu Sheng stretched out his hand and pushed, and Qi Luo's body flew several meters away.

"First, let's use an 'unlocking spell' to release the bad things in his body, so that the Dark Lord's meat will be of better quality."

A spell fell on Quirrell's body.

After the two barriers representing dignity were exposed and broken, a pungent soup gushed out and dripped onto the ground along Quirrell's trouser legs.

"Oh my god! Hei Qiluo pulled it!"

Someone screamed, and there was an uproar at the scene.

Although the man changed his name to Quirrell halfway through his shouting, everyone knew who he wanted to talk about!
The Dark Lord, Voldemort, pooped in public!

Voldemort's already distorted face became even more hideous.
