Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 629 The Finals Begin (First Update)

"Mr. Carmen, over here, over here!"

A familiar voice came from the lawn on the right side of the maze. Jerry turned his head and saw Ludo Bagman, one of the referees, waving at him. Beside him, the other two warriors, Krum and Fleur, had already arrived.

Once all three warriors had arrived, Ludo began to explain the general details of the third competition event.

"As you can see, we are building a huge maze, which will be the main venue for the third event."

"We will place the Triumph Cup in the center of the maze. Whoever reaches the center first and retrieves the cup will be the champion of this Triumph Tournament!"

He paused for a moment, glancing at Jerry before continuing:

"But I must remind you that once this maze is fully completed, it will be filled with many obstacles."

For example, Hagrid provided many magical creatures, and the various magical traps and mazes set up by the professors and the Ministry of Magic.

In short, it will be very complicated and dangerous inside, so you need to be mentally prepared in advance.

Finally, the third requirement is that any spatial magic and flight magic are strictly prohibited!

This last clause was not originally included, but the Ministry of Magic had to add it at the last minute to consider the feelings of Principals Durmstrang and Beauxbatons.

There's no way around it. Everyone knows Jerry's space magic and flight magic are incredibly powerful. When the competition starts, he won't even bother navigating the maze. He'll just open a portal or fly over the maze. What's the point of the competition then?

The key issue is that after witnessing Jerry's strength in the first and second matches, no one is confident that their anti-flying and anti-space magic will be effective against him.

After all, even the powerful space-blocking magic inherent in Hogwarts Castle couldn't affect Jerry; his portals could still operate freely within the castle.

So, after discussing it, the referees decided to simply ban its use.

Of course, this was somewhat unfair to Jerry, but Dumbledore and Snape did not object.

They felt that making Jerry a warrior was unfair to the other two schools, and the restrictions they added were ultimately futile.

When Jerry was chosen to represent Hogwarts as a champion, the outcome was already decided; now it's nothing more than the other two schools' death throes.

Upon hearing Ludo mention the ban on flying and spatial magic, Fleur and Krum breathed a long sigh of relief.

Without these two additional conditions, neither of them would have even wanted to participate in the final project and would have simply withdrawn.

The previous two matches had been a huge blow to them. Compared to their initial confidence when they first arrived to compete, they were now filled with anxiety.

Jerry's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, as if he didn't care at all.

Seeing that Jerry didn't protest, Ludo breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"By the way, the Warriors who are leading in points in the first two games can enter the maze first. According to the current rankings, Mr. Carmen will be the first to enter the maze, Mr. Krum will be the second one minute later, and Ms. Delacour will be the last one one minute after that."

Okay, that's basically it. You guys need to give it your all and overcome all obstacles to have a chance of winning the Triple Crown. Any other questions?

"No!"

Jerry and the other two replied in turn.

"Then you can all go back to sleep. To be honest, it's really a bit cold here at this time of day."

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Ludo involuntarily shivered.

On June 24th, the final match of the three-way battle began.

Unlike the other two events, the final competition was scheduled to begin in the evening, after dinner.

So the young wizards were in a state of tension all day long.

Among them, Furong and Krum were the most nervous.

Given Jerry's overwhelming performance in the previous two competitions, the two are under immense pressure for the third event.

Because they knew that if they faced Jerry head-on, their chances of winning were extremely slim.

Therefore, their strategy was to avoid confronting Jerry head-on and to quickly solve the various traps in the maze to find the Triple Cup located in the middle of the maze.

Because of Jerry's abilities, their two deans have put in a lot of effort over the past month.

Karkaroff and Maxim, using their connections and a bribe, obtained the map of the entire labyrinth and the layout and types of the magical traps from the wizards in the Ministry of Magic who built it.

They also spent a lot of money to buy magical items that could help them find their way in the maze without being disturbed, so that they could quickly find the right direction.

Therefore, the only thing hindering their progress was the various magical creatures Hagrid had put in.

Even so, they already have a huge advantage over Jerry. If they follow the training steps of this month, they might be able to compete with Jerry for the top three cup.

Around 5 p.m., another ghost ship appeared in the Black Lake, carrying all the students of Durmstrang.

At the same time, several carriages pulled by celestial horses appeared in the air, but they were all ordinary celestial horses, and they were also full of all of Beauxbatons' students.

Firelight flickered in the fireplaces inside the castle, and many officials from the Ministry of Magic and some wizards interested in the Triwizard Tournament also rushed over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes I will be inviting you to the Quidditch pitch to watch the final game of the Triwizard Tournament. Now, warriors, please follow Mr. Bagman to the pitch."

After the sumptuous dinner was over, the aloof Dumbledore stood up.

Upon hearing this, Jerry, along with Fleur and Krum, came to Ludo's side. Amidst the enthusiastic applause and cheers of the young wizards, they walked out of the Great Hall and headed towards the entrance to the maze outside the castle.

After a month of construction, the entire maze has changed considerably compared to when it was first seen.

First, a huge semi-circular tiered grandstand has appeared in front of the maze, and its size suggests it can easily accommodate at least a thousand spectators.

Secondly, the maze is obviously much larger. Because it has been enchanted with the Unseen Stretching Charm, the overall area of ​​the maze is no longer just the size of a regular Quidditch pitch, but has the illusion of being endless.

Finally, the maze's exterior was no longer just bare, seven- or eight-meter-high walls; it was now covered with special magical plants, giving it a lush and verdant appearance.

But in reality, the darkness of the night made it seem even more dangerous and eerie, as if the vegetation contained some unknown danger.
