Elwyn had fought with both of them before, so he had a general understanding of their abilities.
From Elwyn's perspective, Keresis was slightly stronger than Snape in terms of actual combat ability.
However, this was not absolute. Both of them had their own strengths in spells and magic theories, so the gap was not that big.
Especially when it came to magic traps, there were many uncertainties.
Faced with Snape's meticulously laid out magic, it was not impossible for Keresis to be accidentally injured.
If Snape had been more ruthless and left a few curses there, Keresis might have been a dead man by now!
"What exactly happened?" Elwyn asked. "Why did you go to his office?"
"To find this," Keresis said in a low voice. He took out something from his pocket and tossed it to Elwyn.
It was Gill Sac Grass!
It looked like countless slippery, grayish-green rat tails, wriggling in Elwyn's hand.
Everyone knew that Gill Sac Grass was a special plant in the Mediterranean Sea. It was very precious and rare, and was a very unpopular potion ingredient.
It was rare to see it in a regular potion shop or herb shop. Only potion masters would have it in their storage cabinets.
Elwyn searched for it for a long time, but to no avail. In Hogwarts, only Snape had Gill Sac Grass.
"You purposely went to Snape's office to steal this thing last night?"
"That's right. After all, this is the only way for Ron to pass the second round, isn't it?! Snape probably guessed that I would go there, so he prepared for it. What a scary guy! " Keresis sighed and glanced at Elwyn. "Don't look at me like that. Indeed, there is a simpler way, but I don't have time!"
His personal storage room had been robbed a few times in a row, and Snape was already on alert.
However, the dangerous magic trap that he had set up was clearly not meant to be used against students.
Snape had calculated that the person who had put Ron's name into the Goblet of Fire would steal the Gill Sac Grass from his personal storage, and he had planned to use this opportunity to capture the culprit.
Many people believed that putting Ron's name in the Goblet of Fire was to kill him during the competition.
However, Snape would definitely not think so. He probably suspected that someone had infiltrated the Hogwarts and was plotting something.
Making Ron a warrior was a very important step. It was impossible to just kill him.
Since that was the case, the person hiding in the dark would definitely help Ron overcome the difficulties and successfully complete the competition.
The second match was in a lake. With Ron's ability, he could only breathe underwater with the Sac Match Grass.
As for the other spells, it was impossible for Ron to master them in a short time. Snape was very clear about this.
In the original plot, Harry obtained the Sac Match Grass with Dobby's help. Barty Crouch Jr. did not show up.
The magic system of a house-elf was different from that of a wizard. Dobby could move into the storage room and not trigger Snape's magic.
Barty Crouch Jr. hid in the dark and used someone else to do such a dangerous thing. It was very smart of him to do so.
This way, he did not have to worry about being exposed.
Compared to him, Keresis's actions last night were too rash.
It was not a wise choice to expose himself to Snape.
Snape would know what was missing after he went back and checked it. When that happened, he would naturally know that there was something wrong with Moody.
In other words, Keresis's current identity could be exposed at any time.
Following this train of thought, Keresis's actions this time were really stupid!
"Don't worry. I destroyed Snape's storage room before I left, took a lot of things, and left some camouflage there." Keresis said, staring into Elwyn's eyes, as if he had guessed what he was thinking. "He wants to know what is missing and determine my real purpose. It will take a long time. That's enough time for me. These potion materials are useless to me, so I'll give them all to you!"
He threw a cloth bag to Elwyn. It was bulging with a lot of herbs.
Keresis had basically robbed Snape's storage. Elwyn looked down and found many precious materials inside.
For example, there were a dozen or so Suicide Bird feathers at the top. These were essential materials used to make truth potions and recall potions.
Each of these feathers could be sold for 500 gold coins on the market, and there was no market for them.
Very few people would sell them. The rarity of the Suicide Bird greatly limited the production of these two potions.
Elwyn did not collect them either, and he was reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy these precious potion materials.
Probably only Snape's personal storage room would have these things!
As long as he had these Suicide Bird feathers, Elwyn could try to make truth potions and recall potions.
He put away the cloth bag bluntly, raised his head, and continued to examine Keresis. He felt that this guy was a little strange.
Normally, barging into Snape's office was too stupid, but looking at Keresis, he did not seem to care.
"What did you mean when you said you didn't have time? What are you going to do? "Elwyn continued to ask." I hope you can explain it properly. "
"Don't worry, I will naturally tell you everything!" Keresis said with a smile. "You may not know, but last night, Barty Crouch Jr. came by!
When he saw that Elwyn did not react, the smile on his face became more obvious.
"It seems that you already know about this!" He said softly, looking at Elwyn with interest. "You came to question me about this, right?"
"What did Barty Crouch Jr. come for?!" Elwyn said bluntly. "What does this have to do with you coming to Snape's office?"
To be honest, he was a little surprised by Keresis's frankness. He did not expect things to go so smoothly.
"It's not good news!" Keresis said, fiddling with the cup in front of him. "Barty Crouch Jr. came by last night and told me that the Dark Lord can't wait any longer. He wants us to bring Harry to him as soon as possible. He needs to recover his strength as soon as possible. Under his urging, the original plan was scrapped. Barty Crouch Jr. had no choice but to take the initiative to contact me. He plans to make his move in the second match, which doesn't have much time! "
"Make his move in the second match?!" Elwyn frowned. "What is he going to do?"
