Felix smiled and waved his wand. A golden mist condensed into a screen in the water. It was very similar to the projection screen on the shore, but much smaller. Even Ludo Bagman's voice could be clearly heard.

"It's still twenty minutes before the hour. There are still six warriors who have not adapted to the chaotic magic, but they have bravely stepped out of the protective shield and used the most primitive method of holding their breath to explore. This strategy is undoubtedly correct, because each of them has at least one golden gem around them..." "

The hour is almost up! The last two warriors are left. They belong to Durmstrang and Ilvermorny. These two warriors will be turned into hostages. Please ask the security guard to properly place them."

Felix stood up and said goodbye to the mermaid leader. A silver cloak condensed behind him, and the hem spread out in the dark lake water. The next second he rushed out like a gust of wind.

The cloak seemed to have a spirit and quickly parted the lake water in front of him. In just one minute, he found the first target.

Felix glanced at the half-foot-tall student, leaned down, and his cloak fluttered behind him: "Adimu Burwick?"

"Yes, it's me." The wizard said tremblingly. He looked very embarrassed. After an hour, he still couldn't communicate with the wand. He could only hold his breath and go into the water to search. Without any magic protection, the lake water in February was not easy.

"Next, according to the rules, you will become a hostage." Felix said softly. Looking at the horrified expression on the wizard's face, he comforted him: "If your teammates rescue you, you can rejoin the game, well, there is a chance to contribute..."

Rushing out from the siege of a group of mermaids...

He pointed his wand at the wizard, and the magic gathered at the tip of the wand. The wizard begged: "This sir, I..." Before he finished speaking, he fell asleep again.

"Well, the next one is the second one." Felix stood up and looked in the direction of the second one.

On the shore, the audience was overwhelmed by the sight of so many wonderful scenes that they could not take it all in. In the cold winter wind, Ludo Bagman's face was steaming as he explained loudly -

"Our security officer has successfully taken the first hostage away. Although it may seem a bit rough to stuff the hostage into the pocket, there is no need to worry about them choking on water... The two hostages will be tied to the stone pillars of the Mermaid Square and await rescue."

"Let me give a quick review:" "

The two groups of warriors from Hogwarts, the first team of five are exploring in an orderly manner. On average, each person has collected three golden gems and has initially restored their ability to cast spells. Cedric Diggory used an ice bomb and used magic to expand the freezing range, successfully freezing more than a dozen Grindylows; Collins Foley's black fog was also quite outstanding..."

"The second team also went smoothly. Harry Potter's way of controlling the colorful fish was amazing. He was the fastest among all the warriors in collecting golden gems, and he collected five in total. Of course, the poor colorful fish could no longer drag him, but Potter successfully performed an advanced variation of the Armor Charm. Hermione Granger did not think of using the colorful fish, and I think it would be difficult for normal people to think of it... Her progress was not slow either. She cracked five blue levels, and each time she chose a reward, she obtained a map of the surrounding area, which allowed her to gain something every time. She has currently obtained four gems.

The last warrior, Ron Weasley, wasted a lot of time in the front, but when he held his breath and entered the water for the fourth time, he successfully found a golden gem and successfully escaped back to the protective shield under the pursuit of a Grindylow... Let me add here that his strategy of making faces was quite useful, and the Grindylow seemed to be frightened... He cast the Bubblehead Charm and trudged through the mud and sand, but his direction seemed to be wrong, and he was heading towards the mermaid camp. Let us bless him..."

"The third team is from Uagardo. They have passed many levels, but their luck is not very good. So far, they have obtained two golden gems on average. But in my opinion, the warrior named Elifendi is taller than Potter, who has made the fastest progress so far."

"The fourth team is from Durmstrang. Krum has made good progress and has not encountered any danger along the way. Of course, he must break into the mermaid camp and rescue his teammates. I don't know if he can do it..."

"The fifth team is from Beauxbatons. Captain Fleur Delacour made smooth progress in the early stages, but after encountering a sneak attack from Grindylow, she had to throw away the squid ink and water bombs to protect herself. After that, her exploration became cautious... There is no problem with her two teammates at the moment, but they seem too cautious and are far behind others. But in this case, as long as they don't make any mistakes, they can get good scores."

"The sixth team is from Ilvermorny. Let me add here that they have a new captain this time, the round-faced wizard named Byers Bach. He and the previous captain performed very well, passing seven and nine levels respectively, and are the fastest, but their speed in collecting golden gems cannot match their performance. Let us wait and see..."

...

Ron walked on the bottom of the lake with one foot deep and one foot shallow, with an irregular bubble head curse on his head. Every two minutes, he had to cast the spell again. He did not find any levels along the way, but picked up two golden gems very smoothly, adding up to three.

After he once again explored the bushes with his face, he accidentally encountered a giant squid. The giant squid chased him for three or four minutes and beat him with two Bubble Head Curses. The most dangerous time was when his neck was locked by two long tentacles and he couldn't breathe. In desperation, he hit its head with his wand, which splashed out a stream of smelly ink. After getting a chance to breathe, he successfully used the Extraction Curse, and then used the wand to push the giant squid into a narrow stone crevice.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another huge squid passed by from above, its huge glass-like eyes staring at him. Ron hid behind the rock tremblingly. He recognized this guy. It was a famous giant squid in the Black Lake. Maybe the one he just hit was its offspring?

I hope it didn't see it...

The giant squid slowly swam across the lake and went away in front of him. Ron looked around and found that he was completely lost. Although he hadn't found a familiar route before, he estimated that it was related to his change in perspective, but he really didn't want to expose himself in the darkness. In the entire Black Lake, only human eyesight was the worst. When he thought of countless eyes staring at him in the dark, he felt a chill on his back.

Ron pulled off the water snail stuck to his neck and moved forward in a direction. When he got tired, he swam close to the ground. Unknowingly, a steep cliff in the water appeared in front of him. He looked down and saw blurry stone pillars below the cliff. There seemed to be people tied to two pillars...

Ron opened his mouth and lay on the ground to observe for a long time. Finally, he concluded that he didn't know any of the two people, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he made a decision in his heart, that is, he must not be discovered by the mermaid.

In the following time, he began to explore both sides, but he gained little. As time passed, he finally became anxious. At present, he only got three golden gems, and it was still a long way from "growing up".

He had seen a silver light before, which seemed to be Professor Hepburn. He almost thought it was Harry's patronus and ran away.

He missed Harry and Hermione even more. At this moment, a familiar voice came into his mind:

"Listen... I only have ten seconds: I don't know how many golden gems you have obtained, but I found a secret. Each purple level, blue level and golden gem are distributed in groups. If you find one, you will definitely find the other two nearby. I have tried six times--"

The call stopped abruptly.

Ron was stunned, "Hermione?" Is she talking to me? Where is she? How did she talk to me?

Thinking about what Hermione just mentioned, he finally decided to go back. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had come all the way here, and the footprints he left were still obvious. When he passed the rock gap where the giant squid attacked, the giant squid had disappeared, and he hurriedly quickened his pace.

After returning to the place where the golden gem was found, he really found a small blue house behind a patch of water plants. "Blue... a test of wisdom..." Ron was scared, but he still walked in.

The next second, he was pulled into a quaint library.

There was no one here, and a hollow voice echoed in the room, "Warrior detected, the test begins." A golden turntable appeared in the air. As soon as Ron saw the options of "Potions", "Magic Knowledge", and "Intelligence", the turntable began to spin rapidly.

He was uneasy and muttered, "It must not be potions, it must not be potions..."

Finally, the turntable stopped and the pointer pointed to the direction of "Muggle Studies".

Ron breathed a sigh of relief, and the voice continued to ask, "Please choose open book or closed book-"

"Open book!" Ron shouted immediately.

A piece of golden parchment appeared on the table, and the dark bookshelves of the library began to move, and then a bookshelf full of books stopped in front of him.

The hollow voice said, "All the answers are in the book. The time to answer the questions is ten minutes in the outside world. The time ratio is: 1:5."

Ron widened his eyes. Why did he feel that this level was so familiar?
