Rubik’s Cube of Heavens Chapter 175: Trust

Something went wrong!

The day after the second match, Cowen got a message from a worried Professor McGonagall.

As the referee, Mr. Barty Crouch, the director of the "International Magic Cooperation Department", was found dead in the Forbidden Forest.

Judging from Director Crouch's intact body, it was obvious that someone had cast a 'death curse' on him.

This matter did not spread, and only a few people knew about it.

Because neither the Ministry of Magic nor the academy wanted to cause panic among the students.

In the end, I can only lie that Director Crouch is unable to participate in the refereeing of the third game due to other work reasons...

That night, Ke Wen found Harry in the 'common room'.

After nodding to the students around Harry, Ke Wen greeted, "Harry, do you have time?"

"Of course!"

After the match, Harry had already learned from other people the time of Cowen's exit from the water in the second match. He was not stupid, and he had already guessed after combining the situation in the water at that time.

Therefore, after hearing Ke Wen's greeting, he couldn't help being a little excited, with a look of gratitude in his eyes.

Seeing this, Ke Wen smiled slightly and said, "Can you go out with me?"

"Kevin, is there anything you can do with Harry?" As a member of the inseparable trio, Ron asked curiously beside him: "Or if you need help with anything, I can help too." of."

"No big deal." Ke Wen smiled perfunctorily: "It's just something about the next game."

"Oh, that's it." Ron lost interest when he heard this. After all, he didn't participate in the competition, so there was nothing to talk about.

Seeing this, Harry took over the topic, stood up and said, "I have time, Chief of Science, where should we talk?"

"Go to my bedroom, there's no one there." Cowen responded, then nodded to Ron and Hermione again, turned and walked towards the stairs.

Harry quickly followed.

It didn't take long to enter the dormitory, and Cowen called Harry to sit on the sofa.

Without waiting for Ke Wen to speak, Harry said very gratefully first: "Senior! You were the one who helped me in the lake that day!?"

"Oh?" Ke Wen was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Harry to mention this, so he said with a smile: "You know?"

"Yeah!" Harry nodded very quickly, took a deep breath and said, "I figured it out after that!"

"At that time, when I was facing the blocking of the mermaid, when I was facing those 'Grindylows', there was still! When I was about to suffocate and pass out!"

Harry counted them one by one, and then said in a very grateful tone: "Those times! You were secretly protecting me, senior!? Thank you! Otherwise... otherwise I don't know..."

"Okay, I received your thank you." Ke Wen interrupted with a smile, "But you should also thank Mr. Principal, who asked me to take care of you during the game."

"No matter what, anyway, thank you senior for protecting me!"

After Harry finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Cowen in a hasty manner.

Ke Wen accepted the other party's attitude with peace of mind, and when Harry straightened up again, he said: "There is no need to talk about these, I came to you to ask you something."

"Please speak." Harry looked like he was ready to answer any questions, and acted as if he was listening carefully.

Very pleased with the other party's performance at this time, Ke Wen pursed his lips and smiled, and then asked, "Did you find out about Mr. Crouch?"

"This..."

Harry was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly hesitated, wondering if he should tell Cowen about the matter.

Because he went to Dumbledore afterwards, and the other party told him not to tell about Director Crouch.

Seeing Harry's entanglement, Ke Wen simply stopped asking, but changed the subject and said: "Don't worry about it if you're embarrassed, this matter doesn't have much to do with me, by the way," live Is the map still in your place?"

Until the topic changed, Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly replied: "Yes! I kept it in the bookcase."

"Can you borrow it for me?" Cowen said, "I may need to use it until the end of the semester."

"Of course!" Harry nodded heavily: "The map was originally given to me by you, senior, and I haven't used it much. If you want to use it, just take it back."

"That's not necessary." Ke Wen smiled and shook his head slightly: "I graduated this year, and I won't need it in the future, so you should keep it after I use it up."

Harry thought about it for a while, and then nodded in agreement, then got up, and said at the same time: "Then I'll go back to the dormitory and get it for you now."

"Wait a minute." Ke Wen raised his hand and pressed Harry's arm to make him sit back on the sofa.

After taking his seat, Harry asked curiously: "Is there anything else, senior?"

"That's it..." Ke Wen hesitated, paused for a moment, then looked directly into Harry's eyes, and said in a serious tone: "Harry, can you trust me?"

"Why do you say that?" Harry was puzzled, but immediately nodded and said, "Of course, I mean, of course I trust you, senior."

"Thank you." Ke Wen smiled and continued to say solemnly: "Then Harry, listen carefully!"

Seeing Ke Wen's serious expression, Harry couldn't help but concentrate.

"A few months later, or to be precise, in the third game." Cowen said in a deep voice: "I may make some actions that misunderstand you. At that time, I need your complete trust in me! Can you?"

"This..." Harry was confused by Cowen's words, and couldn't turn his head around for a while.

Seeing this, Ke Wen said again: "Do you trust me?"

Harry nodded subconsciously.

Kewen raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder: "Don't think too much now, you can ask Principal Dumbledore later, and now just remember this conversation between us."

"Good, good senior."

Like a marionette on a string, Harry could only nod in response.

"Okay." Ke Wen smiled and leaned back on the sofa: "That's all I want to tell you."

Harry was a little confused, then got up again, left the dormitory in a daze, and went back to his dormitory to get the 'Marauder's Map' for Cowen.

Harry sent over the map not long after.

After Harry bid farewell and left, Ke Wen sat on the sofa with a deep expression, spread the 'Marauder's Map' on his lap and opened it.

After searching, he looked at the names on the map and began to think.

…

…

There will be a long gap between the third game and the second game, and it will take four months to officially start.

During this four-month period, Cowen became reclusive and reclusive.

He seldom moves around in the castle anymore, and people often don't see him. Most of the time he stays in the 'Room of Requirement'.

Sometimes he would take a day off from college and even go to see Sirius Black.

In the face of inquiries from his classmates and friends, he just perfunctorily passed the past and did not give an accurate response.

This state continued until June 24, when the third match began.

As usual, after the breakfast time, the teachers and students of the entire college began to go in the direction of the competition venue together.

After nearly a year of living together in the castle, the students of 'Durmstrang School of Magic' and 'Beauxbaton School of Magic' have become less lonely and alienated.

Now, they have been able to mingle with many 'Hogwarts' students.

Talking and laughing with each other along the way.

On the contrary, it is Kewen, because of his solitary life for nearly four months, he is now only accompanied by Penello and Spirit.

Called all the way to the competition venue.

The third match will take place in a very huge maze. Just this maze composed of 'high walls of plants' took many wizards nearly three months to set up.

There are many magic traps in the maze, and there are a lot of aggressive magic plants and magical creatures.

The final event of this competition will be used to verify the personal strength of the warriors.

In the open space in front of the four entrances of the maze, Dumbledore, as the host, has already started to take his place, ready to give a speech.

Ke Wen and other four warriors stood side by side ~IndoMTL.com~ to accept the support and encouragement from the audience around them.

Take out the pocket watch to check the time, and then Dumbledore used the 'Amplification Charm' to suppress the music of the band and the noise in the auditorium.

"Welcome!" Dumbledore said loudly with a smile, "Welcome everyone to come and witness the third match of the 'Triwizard Tournament'!"

"Early this morning, Professor Moody sent the competition trophy into the maze. Among the four warriors, whoever touches the trophy first will be the final winner of this 'Triwizard Tournament' Champion!"

"However, what I want to say is that since Mr. Kewen Quinn temporarily ranked first in the total score in the previous game, he will have the privilege of entering the maze first. The total score of the game will enter the maze successively."

Among the many applause, Dumbledore paused for a while, and after the applause and cheers gradually subsided, he explained the safety aspects of the game.

Afterwards, Dumbledore called Kewen and the others together again, and whispered something like 'be careful'.

After speaking, Dumbledore looked at Cowen.

Nodding his head slightly, Ke Wen responded with a 'relaxed' look to the other party.

Seeing this, Dumbledore showed a look of relief and trust.

"Okay, warriors." Dumbledore greeted: "Go and wait at the entrance of your respective maze, waiting for the signal to announce the start of the game."

The four of Kewen followed suit, spread out, and each chose a place at the entrance of the maze.

After standing still, Ke Wen turned his head to look at Harry.

At this time, Professor Moody was whispering something next to Harry.

Ke Wen stared at the other person's back and squinted slightly, subconsciously touched his pocket with his right hand...
