It was pitch black inside the stone gate, and nothing could be seen.

As soon as they stepped inside, torches suddenly lit in the room, which made the four of them even more vigilant, for fear that they would have to fight something again.

In the field of vision of the four of them, two figures sat opposite each other by the burning campfire, seemingly chatting about something interesting.

The only treasure here was in the hands of the middle-aged man opposite the tall giant. Godric Gryffindor was wiping his silver sword with a cloth, laughing and laughing with the giant opposite.

They were cautious about the two stone statues in front of them, fearing that they would suddenly attack them.

After a few minutes, the statue remained still, still quiet, but the cauldron by the campfire was steaming.

Albert looked at each other and walked vigilantly towards the position of the stone statue.

"Look...... The sword!" exclaimed George.

At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the silver sword encrusted with rubies held by the Gryffindor statue.

To be honest, Albert was actually very surprised when he saw the sword, and he still vaguely remembered that Harry Potter took the Gryffindor sword from the Sorting Hat and killed the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets.

But how did this weapon end up here now?

"This sword is beautiful. Lee Jordan looked at the silver sword and muttered to himself.

"That's what you call the Gryffindor Sword?" asked Albert with a tilted head.

"Well, that's right, a magic sword made by a goblin. Albert nodded.

"Are you going to take it with you?" Lee Jordan tried to remove the sword from the statue's arm, but was unsuccessful.

"No, I'm not going to take this sword away," Albert shook his head. "Gryffindor's sword doesn't belong to me, it belongs to Gryffindor. ”

"How about bringing it back to school?" Fred suddenly suggested excitedly, "Headmaster Dumbledore will definitely give us a lot of points. ”

"Leave it here. Albert shook his head.

In fact, Albert also considered taking this sword back at first, but considering that he had received a special contribution award not long ago, Dumbledore probably would not give him another special contribution award if he took the Gryffindor sword back.

"Why?" asked George, puzzled, "as long as we bring it back, the points we get will definitely help us defeat Slytherin House." ”

"I'm not going to expose this place just yet. Albert shook his head, "I'm going to turn this place into our secret base, maybe sometime when it's useful." ”

"It's deep in the Forbidden Forest. Lee Jordan said powerlessly.

"Phantom manifestations. Albert reminded.

"We have no opinion. The twins nodded in agreement with Albert's decision.

"Well, I'm okay with that. Lee Jordan said with some regret.

"However, it is a pity that I finally came in and didn't get anything. George looked at the silver sword and couldn't help but mutter.

"Treasures, there are!"

Albert gestured up to the black cauldron on the campfire, which contained some unknown viscous liquid, somewhat like some kind of horrible dark dish.

All four deliberately ignored it.

"Treasure, that's it?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Giant Dwench's Crucible. ”

"Thirteen Treasures of British Isles, the Crucible of the Legendary Giant Dwench?" Fred was shocked, looking up and down at the still bubbling mud-colored liquid, and muttered, "It is said that this crucible only cooks meat for the brave, but not for cowards." ”

"You mean, we should ...... Eat this thing?" looked at the liquid in the crucible, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he didn't have any appetite at all.

Is this for them to eat dirt?

"I don't think it's funny at all. George said with a straight face.

"Perhaps, this is also a test!"

Albert pulled out a candy and used the Transfiguration Charm to turn it into a spoon, "Whoever wants to try it first, even if you are really poisoned, I have a way to send you back to Hogwarts for treatment." ”

The three of them looked at Albert in unison and said angrily, "Otherwise, you can eat first!"

"All it takes is a small bite. Albert raised an eyebrow and said, "It's time to eat multi-flavored beans." ”

"Okay, I'll come!"

Li Jordan plucked up his courage, trembled and stretched out the spoon to the pot of dark food, shook a small spoon, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it with reluctance.

The next moment, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and his face was full of shock.

"Are you alright?" asked Fred worriedly.

"I guess it's not really poisoned!"

"The taste is ...... Surprisingly good!" Lee Jordan blinked and said in shock, "It's the taste of broth." ”

"You can't be fooling us!" George clearly didn't believe Lee Jordan's nonsense.

"What am I lying to you about?" Lee Jordan scooped another small spoonful and nodded, "It's really the taste of broth, I feel warm all over my body, it's really amazing."

"Perhaps, this is the legendary giant Davinch's cauldron!" Fred muttered, and he was about to try it, but Albert stopped him.

"Wait a little longer and see if there are any other effects. Albert was cautious and worried that he would be poisoned.

"I think Betty Bot may have been here. Lee Jordan voiced his guess, "He probably got inspiration from here." ”

"Is Betty Bot a Gryffindor student?" asked Fred.

"It should be. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Every bite is an adventurous experience. Lee Jordan said the tagline of Bibi Bean, "It's Gryffindor, isn't it?"

"Maybe!" Albert was noncommittal, he didn't study it.

After waiting for a few minutes to make sure that Lee Jordan was okay, all three of them tasted the food in the crucible, and it was indeed the taste of broth as Lee Jordan said.

"It's incredible. Albert muttered as he looked at the food in the bowl. After eating, he felt warm and full of strength.

"Didn't you say that the silverware forged by the fairy silversmith would not be stained with dust and stains?" Albert couldn't help but spit out as he looked sideways at Gryffindor wiping his sword. He reached out and picked up the silver sword from the stone statue, brushed his fingers over the spine of the sword, lingered on the name on it for a moment, and muttered, "It seems that the goblin is lying." ”

"How did you get the sword off?" asked Jordan in shock.

Albert ignored Lee Jordan and said mysteriously, "Do you know the story behind the Gryffindor sword?"

"Say, don't be appetizing,"

Legend has it that Gryffindor wanted a sword at his disposal, so he asked the fairy king of the time, who was the best silversmith at the time, to forge a sword. Later, after the elf king had crafted his weapon, he was reluctant to give it to Gryffindor, who then pretended to be Gryffindor and stole the sword from himself......

Listening to Albert's old tale, Fred, George and Lee Jordan were all dumbfounded.

"So, now the goblins think...... Is this true?"

"That's what I've seen in the literature. ”

Of course, these documents are not actually found in the Hogwarts library, but in Broad's manor, where many ancient documents are actually preserved, most of them manuscripts.

"I didn't expect anything like this. Li Jordan felt that he had really gained knowledge, but then he realized something, and asked suspiciously: "Are you fooling us again?"

"I remember Fred's eldest brother working at Gringotts!" Albert said suddenly, "just go back and ask him." ”

"The elves think that what they make is theirs, and that the wizards pay for it, and that it is only for the payer to rent temporarily. They believe that when the original purchaser dies, the thing should be returned to the goblin, and that when you pass it on to your descendants without paying the goblin, it's no better than stealing. ”

"But why would the goblins make up such a lie?"

"To cover up the truth!" said Albert without thinking, "the Elf King failed to retrieve the sword because he had kicked the iron plate, and Gryffindor threatened the Elf King that if he did so, he would use the sword to kill the Elf King and his subjects." ”

Later, rumors began to circulate in the elven society that Gryffindor had stolen the sword, and in order to make this lie true, the goblin king instilled that belief in his people in order to confirm the fact that Gryffindor had stolen the sword. ”

In his previous life, there were similar countries.

"Actually, the Elf King did a very successful job, but it also caused problems for the elves, and the relationship between the elves and the wizards with that idea is not good, is it?" Albert said contemptuously, "and this incident also indirectly led to two elven rebellions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. ”

"Of course, history is already difficult to find out, whether it was the goblins who lied or Gryffindor, it is impossible to find out, but I prefer to believe that the goblins are lying......"

"Why?" the three asked, puzzled.

"Look at this ......," Albert gestured to the handwriting on the spine of the sword.

"Godric Gryffindor. ”

"Only goblin silversmiths have the craft to work with silver, which means that the name was engraved by Gryffindor at the request of the goblin king. Albert whispered, "This sword undoubtedly belongs to Gryffindor. ”
