Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 467: Giant chessboard
The room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen in the field of vision.
When Albert just lifted his foot and stepped in, the torches on the surrounding walls suddenly ignited flames. There was a sense of sight in the game of fighting a boss, and the illuminated scene was equally astounding.
At this moment, they are standing on the edge of a huge chessboard, and in front of them are two rows of black statues taller than them.
Across the room, facing them are two rows of white statues.
Fred took a few quick steps, trying to pass the statue.
However, he quickly stopped and retreated back to the crowd.
"Could this be... Wizard's Chess?" Fred muttered as he looked at the soldier who was blocking his way with his sword drawn.
Actually, when the four of them saw these neatly arranged statues, they vaguely guessed the answer.
"It's spectacular!" George couldn't help but sighed, "It must be very interesting, it's the first time I've played this kind of large-scale wizard chess."
"Your wizard chess skills are terrible," muttered Fred, "and even Ron can't win."
"You seem to have beaten Ron." Although George was reluctant to admit it, his useless brother who was afraid of spiders did play well at wizard chess.
"What now?" Lee Jordan muttered.
"Isn't that obvious?" George curled his lips, raised his hand and pointed to the wooden door behind the white chess piece, "As long as you win the wizard chess, you should be able to pass the level smoothly."
"I remember Albert playing wizard chess well!"
The three of them looked at Albert, waiting for him to make a final decision, whether to push hard or win this wizard chess game.
"I don't guarantee that I can win!" Albert looked at the giant chessboard in front of him, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's not like you, it's just a game of wizard chess." Lee Jordan patted Albert on the shoulder.
"What's wrong?" George sensed something was wrong. Was it really as simple as winning a game of wizard chess?
"We may need to play as pawns. If not, we may need to win each other one by one." Albert said his speculation. He wasn't sure if he could win with three pieces.
"That's not great!" Although George wanted to experience it, he was instinctively hesitant at the thought of the wild gameplay of wizard chess.
After all, it wouldn't be fun at all to be swept away by the weapons of these **** statues if they really needed to act as pawns.
"Doesn't we have to go together?" Fred muttered, frowning deeply.
The black king next to Fred suddenly moved, which startled them all. The statue of the king nodded to Fred, indicating that everyone must participate in this wizard chess game.
"How about a hard break?" Lee Jordan asked tentatively. At their level, using spells to blow up all the statues, it should not be difficult to clear the customs directly.
"If you do that, all these statues will probably come and besiege us." Albert does not agree with the method of violently breaking through. How could Professor McGonagall not think that someone would want to violently break through?
In the level just now, you can pick the lock directly because the wizard doesn't understand Muggles.
Although he doesn't think the statues pose much of a threat to them, don't take risks like this. God knows what will happen if you really break in.
Maybe, the wooden door on the opposite side won't open directly?
Even if you really need to push hard in the end, you have to wait until the number of chess pieces is reduced to a certain level before considering it.
"You said, which professor designed this mechanism." Lee Jordan raised his hand and knocked on the statue next to him.
"It goes without saying that of course it's Professor McGonagall." George curled his lips and said, "These chess piece statues must have been made by shapeshifting magic. Although I don't know how, it's really amazing."
"Can Albert be able to do this too?" Fred looked at Albert expectantly, wanting to get a positive answer from him.
"I do have some knowledge of wizard chess. Although the principle of this giant chessboard is similar to that of wizard chess, it uses more advanced shape-shifting magic."
Albert said to Fred, George and Lee Jordan: "I'm afraid we need to replace the four black pieces here."
"You take command, what should we do?"
"Let me think about it." Albert opened his mind and started making plans, an asymmetrical game.
"Think slowly." The three of them were not in a hurry, and began to study the chess piece statue, observing the surrounding environment by the way, and preparing for the violent passage later.
"Okay." A few minutes later, Albert clapped his hands, waited for all three to look over and said, "Fred and George replace the two knights, Lee Jordan you replace the king. As for me, just Take the bishop's place."
The pieces seemed to understand Albert, and the two knights, a bishop, and a king turned around and walked off the board, leaving four empty seats for them.
Go ahead, the funniest wizard chess game of the century has officially begun!
"How are we going to defeat these statues later?"
"If that doesn't work, blast them with an Explosive Charm." Albert took out a candy from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper, and threw it into his mouth, comforting casually, "However, I don't think it's possible. Yes, as long as they are "eaten", they should take the initiative to step down. If they don't respond, just blow them up."
Albert was a little excited, now more like commanding an army than wizard chess on the table.
"What if we get eaten?"
"I will avoid this from happening. If it does happen, you will run to the outside of the chessboard by yourself, and remember not to be hit by the pieces." Albert has already begun to move the pieces.
The routines at the beginning are those, exchange money with each other, and open up a bigger battlefield. Albert discovered that Professor McGonagall's chess game was not as good as he had imagined.
This game went more smoothly than expected.
The difficulty of the giant chessboard array is that players need to maintain a normal attitude, and don't be distracted by the fierce battle of wizard chess. As long as they can play their due wizard chess level, they will definitely win.
On the chessboard, Fred and George, who were still a little nervous at first, have already started to kill the Quartet. They used the Explosive Charm to smash a lot of pieces that they "eaten" by themselves, and swept the pieces into the garbage. Lee Jordan, who seemed to be the king, couldn't help but want to fight.
The pawns were eliminated at the very beginning of the game. The scene of the chess pieces fighting was especially spectacular. Think of the picture of the opposing piece slashing a piece into pieces with one sword, sweeping out the chessboard.
If it happened by my side, if I didn't have enough courage, I would really be scared and my legs would tremble.
Even if they know that the pieces will not attack themselves, but who are afraid that they will be accidentally affected?
Especially when the opponent's bishop knocked Fred's chariot to the ground with a hammer, Fred was really taken aback.
Albert was afraid that Fred would suddenly turn around and run away, and immediately shouted at him: "Calm down, you are safe."
"It's not safe at all, I'm hurt," Fred complained, pointing to his broken arm.
"Don't complain, fall back to c8."
"Why not eat the White Queen?" Fred backed away obediently, but couldn't help but ask, he hasn't completely calmed down yet.
"If you want to be eaten, I don't mind at all. Anyway, I must have earned the money."
Seeing the fierce fighting, and looking at Albert, who was calmly commanding, the anxiety in everyone's mind was completely dissipated.
Judging from the number of pieces on the chessboard, Albert is obviously more skilled than his opponent. He has captured far more white pieces than they lost black pieces, and even left one **** in the front row.
Albert will save as many pieces as possible to use as cannon fodder for the exchange. He also didn't dare to send Fred and George forward, and every time he used them, he had to avoid them being easily eaten.
No way, every time a **** is captured by both sides, the **** will be ruthless and merciless. A large number of broken pawns are thrown across the wall, which is the best proof.
The number of pieces on the field is reduced to a certain level, and the problem of exchange is no longer needed~IndoMTL.com~Albert began to think about how to defeat the king as soon as possible.
He doesn't want to drag on here too long!
After the White Queen fiercely knocked another bishop to the floor and threw it out of the chessboard like garbage, Albert immediately stepped forward and happily checked the king.
When he raised his wand and was about to completely blow up the white king in front of him, this guy actually took off the crown on his head and threw it at Albert's feet.
This means Albert wins.
"Good luck for you." Albert muttered, looking at the white chess pieces who were bowing and retreating, lowered his arms, and no longer had trouble with the White King.
"It's really interesting. Sure enough, commanding a large-scale wizard chess game is far more interesting than playing ordinary wizard chess." Fred said with a cracked smile, he had captured a lot of pieces just now.
"I just saw your legs shaking."
"Bullshit, who said my legs were shaking." Fred glared at Lee Jordan in dissatisfaction, knowing the guy must be envious of his charge on the chessboard.
"I saw it all, your legs are shaking so badly." Lee Jordan pouted. In the game just now, he hardly moved, very safe and very boring.
"Stop messing around." Albert stopped the silly joke.
"You said, if we just took a broom and used magic to bomb these chess pieces from above, wouldn't we not need to play this wizard chess game?"
"The biggest possibility is that the door won't open." Albert thought for a while and said.
Actually, it's not that he didn't think about this method, but he gave up in the end. If the wooden door can't be opened, and he is besieged by the chess piece statue, it will be really bad luck.
Since you can pass this level in the easiest way, don't do those fancy things.
