Chapter 466: Simple Organs
Albert could feel himself falling, cold, damp air whirring past his ears.
Overhead, the screams of Fred, George, and Lee Jordan could be heard, and the sound of the sound falling through the tunnel made him feel like laughing.
Sure enough, it's still too young.
Although it was said that there would be a devil's net as a mat below, Albert didn't want to plunge into the devil's net at all, so he recited a shock-absorbing spell, and by the way, a few people who jumped down from it suddenly braked in mid-air and stopped in the air.
The feeling of the shock absorbing spell was amazing, and Albert felt like a feather slowly falling in midair, but it fell slowly.
"Scared me to death?" Fred said, patting his chest, "It's definitely several stories high, and if it weren't for the shock absorbing charm, I might have broken my neck if I fell." ”
"No, if it were a general scenario, we would have fallen on those things. Albert pointed to the vines above his head and smiled comfortingly.
"What's the matter with those vines?" Lee Jordan frowned slightly as he looked at the wriggling vines, feeling a not-so-good feeling.
Because the ball of light that Albert had made had completely disappeared, and the vines had gathered together again.
"Guess?" Albert said casually.
"Don't sell it. ”
"This should also be a mechanism, which professor do you think set it up?"
"How can this thing move?" said George, trying to step back away from the strange vines.
However, George found that his legs were already entangled in vines, and he stumbled and fell into the pile of vines, and the vines immediately stretched out snake-like tendrils and wrapped around George's body.
"Isn't it amazing. Albert winked at George, unconcerned about the long vines entangled in his legs.
"What the hell is this. George tried desperately to tear the vines off his body, but the more he broke free, the faster and tighter the vines became entangled.
"Don't move, I remember what this is, it's the devil's web!" Fred screamed.
Lee Jordan, who was originally panicked, didn't dare to move anymore when he heard this.
"Oh, dear Albert, we're going to break up with you, and you're standing there watching our jokes. George grumbled angrily.
The vines were already wrapped around his neck, and he was almost out of breath.
"The more you struggle, the tighter the devil's web will wrap around. Albert kindly reminded, "Actually, it's just a very simple mechanism, as if to greet us: ask us if we have studied herbal medicine seriously." ”
"Damn, your jokes aren't funny at all, please hurry up, I'm almost out of breath!" George gasped for air, desperately trying to rip off the vine wrapped around his neck.
"The Devil's Web loves darkness and dampness, and is afraid of fire and light. Fred chattered and used his wand to conjure flames to banish the devil's net.
For a few seconds, everyone could feel the vines wrapped around them retreat, trying to hide from the light and warmth.
Lee Jordan sets fire to the vines and tries to rescue George. The devil's net began to twist violently when it encountered the flames, twitching, and automatically loosened the tendrils wrapped around George's body.
"Isn't that interesting. ”
The embarrassed George was finally scooped up from the ground by Albert, who had tried to pull Albert down with him, but was unsuccessful.
"Thank you so much. George said angrily, but he also admired Albert's composure, which had never been nervous from the beginning.
If Fred and Lee Jordan hadn't been infected by his composure, maybe a few of them would have let the Devil's Net be trapped alive.
"When did you find out they were from the Devil's Net?" asked Lee Jordan.
"From the very beginning, I thought it might disturb the fun of your adventure to speak up. Albert said something that made him want to hit him, "Actually, this is a test of a person's knowledge and calmness. ”
"It's normal for people to get nervous and struggle without knowing it. ”
"Thanks to your explanation. George grumbled angrily.
"What do you think Dumbledore is hiding here?" Fred asked, looking at Albert, "You should be able to guess some!"
"What do you think it will be, it's not a difficult mechanism, is it?" Albert said with a smile, "Let's go, go see what else is more interesting ahead." ”
"You know for sure. ”
"It's said to be something that Gringotts almost stole from. Albert smiled and asked, "You want to fight its idea too?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison, they weren't going to steal what the headmaster had hidden.
They walked forward, down the hallway, surrounded by the sound of droplets of water dripping down the walls in addition to their own footsteps.
"Did you hear anything?" said Lee Jordan, pausing and listening.
The others listened quietly to the sounds around them, and indeed faintly heard what seemed to be a soft rustle ahead.
"Let's go, we'll know what's going on. ”
Albert pointed ahead, where the lights were on.
They found that at the end of the hallway, there was a brightly lit room, and the sound was coming from above their heads. On the high vault-shaped ceiling, there are countless small birds, flapping their wings, flying around the room.
"It's ...... The second organ?"
"You say, if we go straight in, will these birds attack us?" George took the last loss, and became very careful, for fear of falling into the trap again.
"There's a door across the street, and we're afraid we'll need to go through this room. Fred said, pointing to the heavy-looking wooden door opposite.
"Possibly. Lee Jordan advised, "If they all rush at once, let's chant the Explosion Spell together and blow them all up." ”
"That's a good idea, I don't want to run over it anyway. George also didn't want to face the birds that would have sharp beaks and claws to tear him apart at any moment.
"Albert, what do you think?"
The three of them looked at Albert in unison, waiting for his decision to blow all the birds above their heads and drive them away.
"This level is probably more fun than we thought, and the things above our heads aren't birds. Albert pointed to the broomstick in the room and said, "Let's go, I shouldn't be attacked, at least not for the time being." ”
"Are you sure?" said Lee Jordan, raising an eyebrow.
"Sure. ”
"Okay, I'll do it first. Lee Jordan took a deep breath, shielded his face with his arms, and sped to the other end of the room.
Sure enough, it was safe and sound.
"It's all like keys. George also discovered the secrets of the birds, all of which were flying keys.
"The door was locked. ”
Fred walked over and pulled the handle with Lee Jordan, only to find that the wooden door was still moving.
"Open a spell with the Alajo Cave. George proposed, and acted upon, to no avail.
"Could it be that there is an anti-Alaho Cave opening spell on the door?"
All three looked at Albert, who was the only one who knew how to crack the anti-Alaho Cave spell.
As a result, of course, it didn't work either.
"Otherwise, we'll use sesame to open the door and tear it down. "Lee Jordan has not forgotten the great feat of his first day at Hogwarts.
"Better not, I don't want to be covered in the flying keys up there. Albert put a stop to Lee Jordan's crazy thoughts.
"Don't tell me, we need to find a key in these piles of keys. All four looked up at the keys flying overhead.
"Congratulations, you got it right, I guess you need to find the right key to open the door. "Obviously they can't just be decorative objects. ”
"But there are hundreds of keys on there!"
"You should be glad that we have three good Quidditch players here. Fred couldn't help but sigh.
George had already taken the broomstick and was ready to give it to the three best flyers, because with only three broomsticks, Lee Jordan, who was relatively poor in flight, had no share.
Albert hadn't picked up the broomstick, he was scrutinizing the lock on the door.
In , Harry finds the key, as if it was because Quirrell had already opened the door with the key, so he caused some damage to the keybird, but how do they find the key?
"We're looking for a big key. Lee Jordan pretended to look at the doorknob.
"It's all big keys. Fred couldn't help but complain.
"Does anyone know what shape the key to this lock is?" asked Albert suddenly.
"Probably...... Shaped like a door. George raised his hand and drew the approximate shape of the key in the void.
"It's not easy. Li Jordan muttered, "There should be a lot of such keys." ”
"Try to find a rusty portkey. Albert pointed to the rusty door lock and said, "I guess the key is pretty old." ”
"Why don't you come along, you're better at this than we are. Each of them grabbed a broom, kicked it with both feet, and when it was mid-air, he looked back at Albert and asked in bewilderment.
"No, I'm going to try something else. Albert shook his head in refusal, he was ready to try the lockpicking tool to see if he could pick the doorknob in a Muggle way.
If it really doesn't work, it's not too late to go up and grab the key.
Several people rushed into the dense array of keys, looking around for the keybird that Albert said, and when they saw the right key, they went up to arrest them.
However, the enchanted keys dodged so quickly that they couldn't hold on to them.
"Think of a way!" Fred shouted.
"We ...... Let's make a big net and cover all the keys!" George finally came up with a good idea.
The three of them fell to the ground and began to use the transformation magic to create a large triangular net to capture, and the thought of being able to put the key inside the cover later, the three of them were in a good mood.
As a result, before they could implement their plan, they heard a click, and the door lock was actually opened.
The three of them turned their heads stiffly, saw Albert holding the doorknob with his hand, and laughed and said, "The door seems to be open, let's go in." ”
With that, he pushed the door open.
"You...... How the hell did you do that?" asked Lee Jordan, stammering.
The three of them racked their brains to try to grab the key, but what was it for?
At this moment, even Fred and George fell into self-doubt.
"I'm not sure if it works. Albert explained, "However, it seems that wizards don't pay much attention to Muggle methods at the moment, which is why this loophole is left behind." ”
