Chapter 34 The Power of Fire

In the darkness, after an unknown amount of time, Lu Yunkai woke up.

It hurts so much!

He almost instinctively bought a bottle of powerful healing potion from the system and drank it, and then he barely recovered a little consciousness from the pain.

Fortunately, there was no fracture, but the fall was very heavy, so heavy that he fainted...

Is this called okay? I am really reckless!

Lu Yunkai shook his head in self-mockery.

He couldn't see anything in the darkness, but he just spent a lot of gold galleons on buying harps and potions. Lu Yunkai was reluctant to buy any lighting equipment, so he took out the wand from his robe.

"Fluorescent flickering!"

The wand head emitted a light, illuminating the surroundings.

Although the effect is not as good as a searchlight, the lighting magic taught by Senior Sister Fali is really useful!

Holding the wand, Lu Yunkai looked around. The surroundings were all made of bricks and stones, empty, with nothing.

"The three of them fell from above and were not injured? It turns out that only people with good luck can be called brave! Those who are reckless will die."

Not seeing the bodies of Harry and the other three made Lu Yunkai feel a little relieved, so he just complained casually.

But he also knew that there was no time to delay here, so he got up from the ground, stretched his body twice, and after confirming that he was fine, he walked towards the distant passage.

After groping in the dark for three minutes, a noisy sound of hissing came into Lu Yunkai's ears from far to near.

And Lu Yunkai, who was holding the magic wand, also saw that there was a group of winged...keys in front of him.

Some were flying in the air, and they kept changing the shape of the queue, sometimes in S shape, sometimes in X shape.

There were about 20 or 30 keys nailed to the wooden door at the end of the distant passage, flapping their wings weakly, but they couldn't get down from the wooden door.

There was also a key whose wings were completely damaged, and it could only tremble weakly and was inserted into the keyhole.

Lu Yunkai immediately understood what had happened here.

Just now, it was probably Harry who caught the usable key from the group of keys flying in the sky on his broomstick and opened the door.

Well, this is very much the style of the youngest chaser in Hogwarts in the past hundred years.

Lu Yunkai thought as he came to the wooden door. When he was about to open the door, the mutant Dousheng.

The group of keys doing SX dance in the air seemed to have heard the order and flew directly towards Lu Yunkai.

Looking at the keys attacking like a swarm of bees, Lu Yunkai was startled. He opened the door as fast as he could, rushed in, and then slammed the door shut.

The sound of beeping.

It seems that some more keys are nailed to the door! Lu Yunkai breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning his head, looking behind him, he was stunned again.

Why does this place look like a chessboard? There are still many chess pieces on it, and some have been smashed to pieces...

Isn't it just an enlarged version of the wizard chess that Ron always played with Harry before?

Did someone play chess here just now? Was it Harry and his friends?

Lu Yunkai didn't have time to think about it and walked straight through the hall.

Then he finally saw two familiar figures.

"Hermione!!"

Lu Yunkai shouted as he ran over.

"Lu Yunkai? Why are you here?"

Hermione hugged Ron, who seemed to be unconscious, and turned her head to see Lu Yunkai with surprise on her face.

"I guessed you would take the risk, so I followed you to see." Lu Yunkai ran to Hermione and squatted down, "What happened to Ron?"

"Ron sacrificed himself in that room just now to help us win the wizard chess game." Hermione's tone sounded very low.

"Sacrifice?" Lu Yunkai quickly reached out to Ron's nose.

He is still breathing, not dead!

"It's a sacrificed chess piece!" Hermione glared at Lu Yunkai.

"What does that have to do with sacrifice... Oh! Did you play the chess piece to play chess?" Lu Yunkai recalled the huge chessboard just now and the smashed chess pieces next to it, and guessed something.

"Yes!" Hermione nodded, "Ron is very good at wizard chess, so he commanded me and Harry, but in order to win, he lured the opponent to eat the chess piece he played and was injured."

"Although I don't know much about wizard chess, why didn't he play a safer chess piece? For example, the king? It doesn't affect the command."

"..."

Hermione pretended not to hear Lu Yunkai's words.

"Okay, give this medicine to Ron."

Lu Yunkai took out a bottle of healing potion and handed it to Hermione.

"What is this?"

"Strong healing potion, the raw materials alone cost one gold galleon per bottle!" Lu Yunkai explained, "By the way, where is Harry?"

"He just drank the potion and went to the next room through the flame door in front." Hermione pointed to a long table not far away.

There were seven crystal bottles of different colors and shapes on it, six of which were full and one was empty.

And behind the long table, there was a door burning with black flames.

"Well, you stay here to protect Ron, I'll go check ahead." Lu Yunkai nodded and stood up.

"No!! Only one bottle of potion can enter the next room!" Hermione quickly pulled Lu Yunkai.

"... Only one bottle?"

"Well, this should be a question left by Snape." Hermione nodded, "There is a piece of parchment on the table, it is a reasoning question, he designed it so that only one person can pass it. There is also a bottle of potion that can be drunk to return to the starting point."

After speaking, he pointed behind him.

Lu Yunkai then noticed that there was a door burning with purple flames on the side and back.

"Why do you do all these fancy things?" Lu Yunkai couldn't help but complain.

"How should I know? A bad guy like Snape..."

"Although I can't say that Snape is a good person, you really misunderstood him." Lu Yunkai sighed softly and interrupted Hermione's words, "I was cursed by Professor Dumbledore. There are some things I can't say, but I can say very responsibly that it is definitely not Snape."

"... Professor Dumbledore??" Hermione was stunned.

"How about this, you drink the potion that can take you back, and quickly ask Professor McGonagall to come over. I'll go to the room below to check." Lu Yunkai said seriously, "Ron is fine now. On the contrary, it would be the most dangerous if no professor in the school knew about our situation here."

"You want to force your way through that flame? It's very dangerous!!"

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." Lu Yunkai smiled at Hermione, "Go quickly! I'll wait for Harry here, and I won't take any risks."

"You should go back and inform Professor McGonagall. I'll watch Ron here." Hermione shook her head.

"You should go! After all, she is the head of your Gryffindor! And you might die if you stay here. How can I let you, a girl, stay here!"

"Will die?"

Hearing such words, Hermione seemed to be really scared.

"Do you think you are here to solve puzzles and pass levels?" Lu Yunkai looked ridiculous.

However, he soon discovered that from the three-headed dog to now, there were so many levels along the way, and it felt like someone was testing their courage and wisdom. Harry and the other three did have a bit of a test-taking style along the way.

Although I think they might be here to stop Snape from stealing the Philosopher's Stone, maybe they just think that if they stand in front of Snape and expose Snape, will Snape hide his face and run away because of shame?

This is really a child's game! !

Lu Yunkai sighed.

"Professor Snape dares to kill Harry?"

"I told you it's not Snape... it's Voldemort!" Lu Yunkai couldn't mention Professor Quirrell's name, so he could only bring out another name.

"Ah??? Then Harry..."

Hearing Voldemort's name, Hermione was finally really scared.

"So, don't dawdle, hurry up and ask Professor McGonagall!"

"Okay!"

Hermione put Ron on the ground, came to the long table, and picked up a small purple crystal bottle on the far right.

Lu Yunkai's eyes followed her and fell on the row of potion bottles again.

"I'll be back soon." Hermione was a little confused, but she still tried to comfort Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai nodded.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Hermione also nodded and drank the potion in one breath, then ran directly into the purple door behind her.

Fortunately, there was no scream of Hermione being burned by the flames.

Seeing Hermione leave, Lu Yunkai finally breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Ron who fainted on the ground, and shook his head helplessly.

These guys are really ignorant and fearless! They actually treat this as a game of house!

But what kind of questions did Snape ask?

Anyway, he was waiting, so Lu Yunkai came to the table and picked up the parchment on the table.

It described a logic problem in detail.

What kind of poison is on the left side of the castor wine, different in appearance but the same in taste.

Lu Yunkai felt his head swollen after just looking at it for a while.

Well, no wonder Hermione and the others thought it was just a test. With Hermione's intelligence, this kind of problem-solving would not be difficult for her. Instead, it would be a bit like an exam.

How could Snape protect the Philosopher's Stone in this way! It was like a joke...

Just when Lu Yunkai began to suspect that there was something wrong with this place, suddenly, a scream came from the black fire door in front.

"Ah!!!!"

It was Harry's voice!

Lu Yunkai's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Why didn't Hermione come back! ?

Harry's screams continued, making it impossible for Lu Yunkai to stay here at ease.

The hand holding the wand tightened.

Can't wait! Otherwise, if Quirrell gets rid of Harry and sees me, he will definitely not show mercy.

It's better to rush in and attack him while he is dealing with Harry!

Lu Yunkai took a deep breath and grabbed the bottle of potion that Harry had just drunk.

There was a little bit of leftovers, but it was too little to use the system's valuation to determine what potion it was, and even if I wanted to buy a bottle from the system, it wouldn't work.

I had to think of other ways!

Something to deal with magic flames.

Lu Yunkai's mind was working quickly, and the shadows in front of him kept changing.

Finally.

"One thousand gold galleons... this thing is really expensive. I have to ask Harry to reimburse me later!"

Lu Yunkai chose a ring as quickly as possible.

A ring that was described as preventing the wearer from being hit by flames, and it was said to be made by the wizard who was best at fire magic in the history of magic.

Lu Yunkai, not caring about the pain, took out the ring from the system and put it on his finger.

I hope this ring is useful!

Lu Yunkai took a deep breath and rushed into the black door.
