After ending his riddle bet with Katrina, Albert did not go to the court to watch Gryffindor and Ravenclaw Quidditch, but went straight to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor. He planned to write down the hundred riddles and answers that the Eagle Ring had proposed, so that he wouldn't forget them after a while.

Fast memory doesn't last, and unless Albert is asked questions by Eagle Ring as often as Ravenclaw students, it's impossible to remember the general idea after a long time.

As the saying goes, a good memory is better than a bad pen.

This adage from the previous life is still very reasonable.

It took Albert a great deal of time to sort out and record the hundred riddles and answers, and by the time he put down his pen and stretched, it was past twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

In every Quidditch match, unless it ends early, a large group of people will basically skip lunch until the end of the match.

As for dinner?

Quidditch matches rarely last into the evening, so how wasted do two Seekers have to be to fail to catch the Snitch in a few hours?

The game that lasts all day is only a few after all.

Albert put away his notebook, reached out and rubbed the muscles on his cheeks, and cast his eyes on the eagle ring on the old wooden board in the corner of the library. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and tapped twice on the board, and the eagle ring opened his mouth to spit out the riddle:

You are not in the past and in the future, now I can see you, where are you?

"In the mirror. Albert replied immediately.

"Makes sense. With that, a door opened out of thin air.

"It worked!"

Albert clenched his fists excitedly, raised his wand and walked through the door. He found himself in a large circular marble chamber, illuminated by burning blue torches.

"Eternal fire?" Albert said, gesturing at the torches on the wall. At this moment, he suddenly felt the urge to take a torch down and study it.

"Where is the treasure trove of Ravenclaw knowledge?" muttered Albert.

It is a windowless secret room, and the inside is very empty, which fits the so-called four walls of the house.

It's not that there's nothing here, and the marble walls are carved with some quirky text symbols.

"Ancient Demonic Script?"

In fact, the moment Albert entered this secret room, he had already noticed the ancient magic inscriptions on the walls.

There was no way, except for the eternal fire, only the ancient magic words on the walls could attract Albert's attention. He strode towards the wall, reaching out to brush over the carvings on the wall, and began to carefully translate the actual contents of the ancient demonic script.

The ancient magic text that Professor Broad and Professor Smith showed him was indeed copied from here.

However, in Albert's memory, the script used by wizards a thousand years ago should have been ancient magic script, and English, a script borrowed from Latin, was introduced to England later.

So...... Shouldn't you read the words on the wall from the perspective of a translator, does it exist only to record something?

Or is there some secret hidden in the ancient scripts?

It took Albert half an hour to read the ancient inscriptions carved on the wall in front of him and transcribe them in his notebook.

The text on the walls presumably speaks of the founding of Hogwarts, similar to the documentation Albert had seen in the library.

Originally, Hogwarts was founded to protect wizards from persecution.

After all, Muggles were afraid of magic, they would persecute wizards for fear of magic, and to make matters worse, a thousand years ago during the Dark Middle Ages, England was in the midst of a terrifying Viking Age.

From the fact that the castle where Hogwarts is located is located on a hill by the lake, and the exact location of the school is cast and cannot be plotted, it can be seen that when the Big Four established Hogwarts, they had considered the possibility of an enemy attacking Hogwarts, so they set up a series of defensive measures in the castle.

Albert hadn't forgotten that Hogwarts Castle's armor and knightly statues could be spelled by spells when necessary. This meant that with hundreds of death-defying troops, and with the castle's terrain and defenses, even the notorious Vikings would not have been able to storm Hogwarts Castle at the time.

However, this long-known history of Hogwarts is not what Albert wants, and there should be more than this in the Ravenclaw knowledge vault!

Bastard!

At the very least, you'll leave me some books, or something.

Could it be that someone else preemptively emptied it?

Albert glanced at the quest panel for the quest "Finding the Ravenclaw Treasury of Knowledge", and sure enough, it was not completed.

Isn't this a treasure trove of Ravenclaw knowledge?

Or is there some secret hidden in this secret room?

Albert circled the chamber again, and there was really nothing but the magic on the walls.

However, Albert made some new discoveries.

Something like a puzzle. As for why it's a puzzle? It's because the magic symbols on it have been broken up.

Albert thought it might be a door, or something, but he still couldn't read it, and I should say he couldn't:

Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest treasure of mankind.

And then what?

Albert pieced together its scattered scripts and read them out in ancient scripts.

He felt that something was vaguely missing, and as for what was missing, Albert himself couldn't tell.

If this is a treasure trove of knowledge, then what knowledge does it hide?

Albert couldn't figure it out for a while, he felt that it must not be an ancient magic script, because it was the writing used in that era, and it certainly would not be the history of Hogwarts on the walls, so what was left here?

That sentence: Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of mankind?

Or is it the eternal fire on the wall?

Albert took an eternal fire from the wall and put it in front of him to examine it carefully, it was a bit similar to the shape of the Olympic flame, and indeed there were some ancient magic inscriptions carved on it, which was not very different from Albert's protective bracelet.

However, the effect of these ancient magic inscriptions was very surprising.

Albert knew it might be the power of magical words.

Only, is this related to the treasure trove of knowledge?

If it's really relevant, then ...... What secrets are hidden in the treasure trove of knowledge?

Albert had a headache, and he couldn't figure out what secrets were hidden here.

"Forget it, let's write this down first!" Albert put the Eternal Fire back, and Professor Broad and Professor Smith probably didn't find the secret in the secret room.

As for the wizard who discovered the secret of this place in the past, he took away the things that were originally in this secret room?

This should be unlikely.
