The room was completely dark, and nothing could be seen.
As Albert just stepped in, the torches on the surrounding walls suddenly caught fire. It felt like fighting a boss in a game, and the scene it illuminated was equally shocking.
At this moment, they were standing next to a huge chessboard, with two rows of black statues in front of them that were taller than them.
At the other end of the room, facing them, were two rows of white statues.
Fred took a few quick steps and tried to pass by the statue.
However, he soon stopped and moved back to the group.
"Is this... wizard chess?" Fred couldn't help but mutter as he looked at the soldier who drew his sword to block his way.
In fact, when the four saw these neatly arranged statues, they vaguely guessed the answer.
"It's really spectacular!" George couldn't help but exclaimed, "It must be very interesting. This is my first time playing such a large-scale wizard chess game."
"You're such a terrible wizard chess player," Fred muttered. "You can't even beat Ron."
"It seems like you've beaten Ron." Although George was reluctant to admit it, his useless brother who was afraid of spiders was indeed good at playing wizard chess.
"What now?" Lee Jordan muttered.
"Isn't it obvious?" George curled his lips and pointed to the wooden door behind the white chess piece. "As long as we win the wizard chess game, we should be able to pass the level smoothly."
"I remember Albert was pretty good at playing wizard chess!"
The three of them looked at Albert, waiting for him to make the final decision, whether to force their way in or to win the game of wizard chess.
"I can't guarantee that I can win!" Albert looked at the giant chessboard in front of him, frowned slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"This is not like you, 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 chess pieces. If not, we may need to defeat the opponent one by one." Albert made his own speculation. He was not sure if he could win the game with three chess pieces.
"This is not good!" Although George also wanted to try it, he hesitated instinctively when he thought of the wild gameplay of Wizard Chess.
After all, if they really had to act as chess pieces, it would not be fun at all to be swept by the weapons of these chess statues.
"Don't we have to go together to get through?" Fred frowned deeply and muttered.
The black king next to Fred suddenly moved, which scared them all. The king statue nodded to Fred, indicating that everyone must participate in this wizard chess game.
"How about forcing your way in?" Lee Jordan asked tentatively. With their level, it shouldn't be difficult to use spells to blow up all the statues and force their way through.
"If we do that, all these statues will probably come and attack us." Albert did not agree with the method of breaking through by force. How could Professor McGonagall not have thought that someone would want to break through by force
In the previous level, the lock could be picked directly, which was entirely due to the fact that wizards did not understand Muggles.
Although he felt that these statues would not pose much of a threat to them, he still decided not to take the risk. God knew what would happen if he really forced his way in.
Maybe, the wooden door opposite will not be able to be opened at all
Even if you really need to force your way in in the end, you have to wait until the number of chess piece statues is reduced to a certain level before considering it.
"Tell me, which professor designed this mechanism?" Lee Jordan asked as he raised his hand and knocked on the statue next to him.
"Of course it's Professor McGonagall." George curled his lips and said, "These chess statues must have been made by Transfiguration Magic. I don't know how they did it, but it's really amazing."
"Can Albert do this?" Fred looked at Albert expectantly, wanting to get a positive answer from him.
"I do know something about wizard chess. Although the principle of this giant chessboard is similar to that of wizard chess, it uses more advanced transformation magic."
"I'm afraid we need to replace the four black pieces here," Albert said to Fred, George and Lee Jordan.
"You take charge. What should we do?"
"Let me think about it." Albert's brain was fully open and he began to make a plan. This was an unequal game.
"Take your time to think about it." The three of them were in no hurry and began to study the chess piece statues, observing the surrounding environment and preparing for the violent passage later.
"Okay." A few minutes later, Albert clapped his hands, and when the three looked over, he said, "Fred and George will replace the two knights, and Lee Jordan, you will replace the king. As for me, I will replace the bishop."
The chess pieces seemed to understand Albert's words, and two knights, a bishop and a king turned around and walked out of the chessboard, leaving four empty seats for them.
Come on, the most interesting wizard chess game of this century has officially begun!
"How are we going to defeat these statues later?"
"If that doesn't work, just blow them up with the Explosion Spell." Albert took out a candy from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper and threw it into his mouth, and comforted him casually, "But I think it may not be necessary. As long as they are "eaten", they should take the initiative to step down. If they really don't react, just blow them up."
Albert was a little excited. Compared with the wizard chess on the table, it was more like commanding an army.
"What if we get eaten?"
"I will prevent this from happening. If it does happen, just run outside the chessboard and remember not to get hit by the chess pieces." Albert has already started moving the chess pieces.
At the beginning, the routines were the same, exchanging pieces to make room for a larger battlefield. Albert found that Professor McGonagall's chess game was not as clever as he had imagined.
This game went more smoothly than expected.
The difficulty of the giant chessboard formation lies in the fact that the chess player needs to maintain a normal mentality and not be unable to think normally because of the fierce fighting of wizard chess. As long as he can play to his due wizard chess level, he will definitely win.
On the chessboard, Fred and George, who were originally a little nervous, had already started to kill people everywhere. They used explosive spells to smash many chess pieces that they had "eaten" and swept them into the garbage dump. Seeing this, Lee Jordan, who was acting as the king, couldn't help but want to go forward and fight.
The soldiers were eliminated at the beginning of the game. The scene of chess pieces fighting was particularly spectacular. Just imagine the opponent's chess piece chopping a chess piece into pieces with a sword and sweeping it off the chessboard.
If this happened to you, without enough courage, you would be so scared that your legs would tremble.
Even if you know that the chess piece will not attack you, everyone is afraid of being accidentally affected, right
Fred was really scared, especially when the opponent's bishop knocked over the chariot that served as Fred's scapegoat with a hammer.
Albert was afraid that Fred would suddenly turn around and run away, so he immediately shouted to him: "Calm down, you are safe."
"It's not safe at all. I'm hurt." Fred complained, pointing to his arm that was injured by the debris.
"Don't complain, retreat to c8."
"Why not eat the White Queen?" Fred retreated obediently, but still couldn't help asking. He hadn't completely calmed down yet.
"If you want to be eaten, I don't mind at all. I will definitely make a profit from the exchange anyway."
Watching the fierce fighting, and looking at Albert who was calmly commanding, everyone's psychological uneasiness completely disappeared.
Judging from the number of chess pieces on the board, Albert was obviously more skilled than his opponent. He captured far more white chess pieces than they lost black chess pieces, and even had one pawn left in the front row.
Albert would try to save as many chess pieces as possible and use them as cannon fodder for the exchange. He was also reluctant to send Fred and George to the front. Every time he used them, he had to avoid them being easily captured.
There is no way. Every time a chess piece from either side is eaten, the chess pieces will behave ruthlessly and mercilessly. The pile of broken chess pieces scattered around the wall is the best proof of this.
When the number of chess pieces on the field was reduced to a certain extent, there was no need to exchange pieces anymore, and Albert began to think about how to defeat the king as soon as possible.
He doesn't want to stay here too long!
After the White Queen viciously knocked the other bishop to the floor and threw him out of the chessboard like garbage, Albert immediately stepped forward and happily killed the king.
When he raised his wand and was about to blow the White King in front of him to pieces, this guy actually took off the crown on his head and threw it at Albert's feet.
This means Albert won.
"You're lucky." Albert muttered, looked at the white chess pieces bowing and retreating, lowered his arms, and did not bother the White King anymore.
"It's really interesting. It turns out that commanding a large-scale wizard chess game is much more interesting than playing ordinary wizard chess." Fred grinned. He had just eaten quite a few chess pieces.
"I just saw your legs were shaking."
"Nonsense, who said my legs were shaking." Fred glared at Lee Jordan in dissatisfaction. He knew that this guy must be envious of him charging on the chessboard.
"I saw it all. Your legs were shaking so badly." Lee Jordan curled his lips. In the previous game, he hardly moved. It was very safe and very boring.
"Stop it." Albert stopped this silly joke.
"You said, if we had just used a broom to bombard these chess pieces with magic, we wouldn't have to play this game of wizard chess."
"The biggest possibility is that the door cannot be opened." Albert said after thinking for a while.
In fact, he had considered this method, but finally gave up. If the wooden door could not be opened and was besieged by chess statues, he would be in real trouble.
Since you can pass this level with the simplest method, there is no need to do anything fancy.
