After the banquet, everyone said goodbye and left.

"Thank you for having me, Professor Broad. Albert thanked Professor Broad after sending all the guests away.

"Looks like you've got a good catch. Professor Broad smiled and motioned for Albert to come in.

"Yes. ”

Albert sat down in the armchair opposite Professor Broad, looked at the old man in front of him, and said, "Alchemy is even more profound than I thought, and it is really fascinating. ”

"Alchemy is an esoteric science. Professor Broad said mildly: "It contains a lot of things, and as you should have noticed, knowledge limits your play. ”

"Yes, I've noticed. Albert was frustrated, his exposure to the wizarding world was still very short.

"Don't worry, for most wizards, alchemy is just beginning when they reach adulthood, however, unfortunately, the vast majority of wizards struggle to go far in this field. Professor Broad shook his head, "How many people can focus on magic and alchemy without school?"

After leaving school, many wizards have indeed been improving their magical skills, but that's about it.

"What about the Silencers?" Albert said, raising an eyebrow.

"I didn't expect you to know the Silent Man. Professor Broad was surprised.

"The last time I received the warning letter, I checked the Ministry of Magic. Albert smiled maliciously, "Know yourself and know your enemy." ”

"The affairs of the Department of Mysteries are completely confidential, and no one knows what they're up to. Professor Broad looked at Albert and asked, "Disappointed?"

"It's not about disappointment, after all, I've never expected it, so I'm not disappointed. Albert's tone was flat.

"Well, I don't approve of you joining the Department of Mysteries. "Professor Broad doesn't like the Department of Mysteries very much, although it is the largest research institute in the British wizarding world, it doesn't have much real results, and it does study some very high things, but it doesn't help the wizarding world much.

"You can get a brief understanding, but don't put the effort into research, it will only waste time and your talent. ”

Probably seeing the confusion on Albert's face, Professor Broad explained, "Dumbledore has also been in it for a short time, and with your talent and talent, sooner or later you will come into contact with this field, it's just a matter of time." ”

"Oh. Albert replied noncommittally, he already knew what was in the Department of Mysteries, and he was not interested in those things, after all, he was not a research maniac, and he made magic items purely for himself.

That's right, Albert has always been a selfish person.

Unselfish?

What's that?

In the outlook on life in the previous life, it was kicked into a corner a long time ago.

"I know you want to go the liberal path, but it's actually a big deal. Professor Broad had to give Albert a shot first, "Nico is a very special case, his life is so long, he has enough time to learn and master a lot of things. ”

He continued, "Most wizards are like me, or like other wizards here today, who are only proficient in one area, after all, human energy is limited, and I hope you can understand that this will help make your future path smoother. ”

"I'll take notice. Albert nodded that he wasn't too worried about these issues, after all, there were panels to learn skills and learn those things faster than everyone else.

"Actually, Rowanna also has good attainments in alchemy. Professor Broder sighed softly, "Later, because something was wasted. ”

Albert didn't understand why Professor Broad had brought the topic to Professor Smith, and he felt that the old man in front of him seemed to have a lot to say to himself, but he couldn't say it directly, so he reminded himself by knocking on the side.

Because of that thing?

He felt that it was better to pretend that he didn't know, and that some things were broken up, but they were not beautiful.

"Remember, those ancient magic texts I asked you to translate last time?" Professor Broad pulled the subject back to something else, "In Hogwarts school, there is a magical room, it is located on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle opposite the tapestry of the troll stick beating the silly Barnabas, some people call it the House of Comings and Goings, or the Room of Requirement...... It used to be a room designed and built by Ravenclaw, which contains Ravenclaw ...... Treasure. ”

Professor Broad told Albert the location of the Room and how to get in, and the latter just listened quietly, with a more strange expression on his face.

"Looks like you already know those things. Professor Broad guessed the reason when he saw that Albert's face didn't react much, but he was not surprised by this, but continued: "This is one of the reasons why Rowanne went to teach at Hogwarts, if you can solve the secret that day, remember to tell me." ”

"What's in there?" Albert asked curiously, "and, I don't think it would be difficult to unravel the secrets of Mr. McDoug's ancient magic language." ”

"He failed. Professor Broad said.

"Failed. Albert was stunned, Mr. McDoug's level of magic writing, he knew better than Professor Broad.

"I want you to do something for me. Professor Broad didn't care about Albert's expression and continued.

"Professor Smith is here for the same thing?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"He doesn't know, so it's better not to tell him. Professor Broad sighed and said, "Rowanna belongs to the kind of person who has a more radical personality. ”

Entrust.

Bard Broad seems to need your help with something, and before that, you'll need to unlock the second level of the Ravenclaw Treasury of Knowledge.

Reward: 3000 experience.

"Pre-task?"

Albert glanced at the task panel, a little stunned, because the task actually showed that it had been completed.

"Do you want to pick it up?"

After much consideration, Albert decided to put it on hold for now.

After all, it's not a game, and, looking at what Professor Broad says about Professor Smith, it doesn't seem good.

"Something important?" Albert asked again.

"Confidentiality for the time being. Broad laughed mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes, remember not to tell anyone else, especially Rowanna." ”

Albert was a little puzzled, what does this mean?

Should I beware of Professor Smith?

"I see!" Albert nodded, indicating that he wouldn't tell anyone else.

"By the way, are you going to stay here until the Christmas break is over, or am I going to have someone take you home?" Professor Broad said.

"Please have someone send me back. Albert thought about it and chose to go home to spend the rest of the Christmas holiday with his loved ones.

"You can borrow a few books from here and return them to me when you're done. Professor Broad added, "Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone take you back." ”

Albert stayed at home for the rest of the Christmas holidays, and while it was a shame not to be able to use magic, he enjoyed the laid-back feeling, occasionally teasing Tom the fat cat, snuggling up on the couch with his family, eating and watching TV, and he loved the warmth of being rediscovered.

That's the taste of home.
