Chapter 225: Worth 10 Galleons
"I have a feeling that you have a problem with this answer. Katrina, who was next to her, suddenly interjected, "'Are you dead?' I think if you said that to the ghosts, they would reply, 'Yes, I'm dead.'" ”
Albert was stunned, couldn't help opening his mouth, and was speechless for a while.
Katrina was right, being a ghost meant he was dead.
Well, he was just bound by habitual thinking just now, this is the world of magic, there are ghosts and such things, so what he said just now can really be answered.
"You're right, I almost forgot that there is such a special existence as a ghost. Albert simply admitted his mistake, and there was no point in a dead duck being hard-mouthed.
Katrina had expected Albert to continue arguing, but she didn't expect him to admit his mistake so simply.
"You'd better hurry. Isobel said to the two, "Maybe we'll be able to catch a Quidditch match later." ”
Today's Quidditch match was a Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor match, and the trio who were supposed to be cheering on their own team had another duel here.
"I actually hate going out to watch a game on a rainy day. Albert looked at Isobel and asked, "Do you like Quidditch very much?"
"Hey, is that really the right thing to come out of your mouth?" Katrina hadn't forgotten that Albert had beaten Slytherin on the pitch and laid the groundwork for Gryffindor's House Cup.
"Isn't it appropriate?" Albert asked rhetorically.
"So, you're only an alternate?" Katrina thinks that Albert didn't become a Seeker, and that Bacheng is afraid of hardship.
Well, sure enough, I heard that Quidditch training is rain or shine, and it's very hard.
"Let's get started!" Isobel interrupted, raising her hand and knocking on the wooden door.
The eagle's beak opens and utters the riddle: What animal started to walk on four legs, then on two legs, and finally on three legs?
"I think it was a riddle of the Sphinx, but the Ravenclaw Eagle Ring is very knowledgeable. Albert couldn't help but complain.
The answer is people. Katrina ignored Albert's complaint and replied immediately.
"Ravenclaw's Eagle Ring has its own mind, similar to the Sorting Hat, it didn't know a lot of riddles at first, and now some of them have been added by successive Ravenclaw deans. Isobel took the candy from Albert and answered his questions.
"How do you know this?" Albert asked curiously.
"I've seen some of the accounts about it. Isobel expertly peeled off the wrapper and stuffed the candy into his mouth.
"Eagle Ring, please continue to ask questions. Katrina said.
"Do you want it too?" Albert asked, pulling out the candy.
"Aren't you afraid of tooth decay?"
"Don't be afraid, I brush my teeth twice a day. Albert said seriously, "Sugar can make the brain think active, so people can think better, if you don't want it." ”
"Who said I don't want it. Katrina picked out her favorite flavor and was about to peel candy wrapper when Eagle Ring spoke again.
"Where are the departed?"
"In memory. Albert replied first.
"Makes sense. Eagle Ring was silent for a few seconds and replied.
"What's your answer?" Albert asked Katrina.
"Did you deliberately interfere with me, and robbed me of my problems, and didn't intend to let me win. Katrina looked a little angry, and stared at Albert with an unkind expression.
"Well, it's my fault. ”
"You shouldn't interfere with me. Katrina protested angrily.
"I promise I won't interrupt you. Albert assured.
Next, Albert does not interfere with Katrina's riddles, and he also discovers that the riddles of the eagle ring are divided into several types, one is the philosophical question of the phoenix and fire, the other is the English type of guessing the letter, and the last category is composed of riddles from various countries.
Katrina is indeed very talented at guessing riddles, and even if she encounters a riddle that she has never seen before, she can still solve it after careful consideration.
Perhaps, this is the result of regular guessing exercises!
Of course, Albert, who listened quietly, also gained a lot, most of the riddles and answers were already in his head, and the eagle ring in the Room of Requirement must have been unable to stop him.
To Albert's surprise, the last riddle was actually a phoenix and fire.
"A cycle with no beginning. After answering the last question, Katrina couldn't help but let out a deep sigh and said to Albert, "I've answered the hundredth question correctly." ”
After saying that, the girl clenched her fist excitedly and announced to Albert, "I won this bet." ”
"Congratulations. Albert laughed and clapped.
In fact, Katrina did not answer more than a hundred questions, and some of the riddles of the Eagle Ring were repeated in the process.
"As promised, where's the thing?" said Katrina, holding out her hand to Albert.
"As agreed, you need to give Katrina 10 Galleons. Isobel said softly.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Give, bet on the chips. With that, Albert took ten Galleons out of his pocket and placed them in Katrina's hand.
"Congratulations again, then I'll go first, see you another day. Albert turned to leave.
"Why don't we go to the court to watch a Quidditch match?" asked Katrina, looking blankly at Garon in her hand and at Albert's back.
"No, I have something to do. ”
"You say, what did Albert bet me for?" Katrina asked, picking Garon in her hand, puzzled.
"Perhaps, for 100 riddles!" replied Isobel after a moment's thought, "in his eyes, a hundred riddles are worth ten Galleons, and of course, if you can't answer them, you'll earn ten Galleons for nothing." ”
"What a weirdo!" Katrina muttered, "Forget it, for Garon's score...... Let's go watch the game!"
"Have you ever thought that Albert has already gotten admission to the Ravenclaw common room? "While we don't exclude students from other houses, only a very small percentage of non-Ravenclaw students have access to our common rooms. ”
"He doesn't have any purpose!" Katrina tucked Garon into her pocket and followed Isobel towards the Quidditch pitch.
Although she thought Albert had another purpose, she just couldn't think that maybe Isobel knew what the guy had for it.
Katrina remembers hearing rumors not too long ago that Albert was dating Isobel.
"If you want to ask something, say it!" Isobel asked lightly, as if he had seen through his thoughts.
"Nothing?" said Katrina.
"I don't know you yet?" said Isobel.
"Everybody's talking you're dating?" asked Katrina, glancing at Isobel, cautiously.
"Rumors are nine out of the word false. Isobel did not answer this question head-on.
"Oh. Katrina replied, "Fake?"
"Rumors, we're just ...... Friend. Isobel glanced at Katrina and said lightly, "It's normal that genius friends are usually geniuses too. ”
