Chapter 154: The Fortune of Ravenclaw

PS: Warmly celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the motherland, and I wish you all a happy holiday.

"Come in, the door isn't closed. ”

Professor Broad's voice came from the office.

Albert's hand froze in mid-air as he prepared to knock on the door, and Isobel, who was next to him, glanced at him, reached out and pushed open the wooden door and walked into the office.

"You resigned?"

When Albert entered, he found that this was no longer the Defence Against the Dark Arts office he was familiar with. Several large bookshelves along the walls have been emptied, and expensive wool carpets and silk curtains have been missing. The items on the desk were empty, and a leather suitcase was placed.

"I resigned and will leave today. Professor Broad gestured to the couch and motioned for a few people to sit down and talk.

A few days ago, he was almost attacked by the Eight-Eyed Spider in the Forbidden Forest, which made Broad feel that the threat of a curse was approaching him, so the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor simply submitted his resignation letter to Dumbledore. He didn't want to get hurt by that damn curse, or lose his life for some reason.

Albert naturally knew the reason for Professor Broad's early resignation, the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was cursed, and it was the wisest choice to resign voluntarily before he was injured.

"It's good to resign. "It was a wise decision to leave before the curse came to the door." ”

"Shut up Anderson. Katrina couldn't help but glare at Albert.

"No, no, I actually agree with Mr. Anderson. Professor Broad raised his hand to reassure Katrina and smiled, "The curse of Defence Against the Dark Arts has always existed, and I didn't come here to teach to get hurt or die because of the curse. ”

Katrina was completely stunned, she could scarcely believe that Uncle Bud would say such a thing.

"Yes...... If you quit, what will the Defence Against the Dark Arts class do?" The girl still voiced her doubts.

"What I was able to teach you was already taught in the previous classes, and the rest of the semester was revision and final exams. Professor Broad continued, "In the period leading up to the exams, Dumbledore would find someone to substitute for him. ”

"It can't be Snape, right?" Albert frowned slightly, although Snape was an expert in the dark arts, Albert really didn't like that guy.

"It's Professor Snape. Professor Broad corrected.

"All right, Professor Snape. Albert remembered one more thing, "What about Mr. McDoug's manuscript for Part III of Advanced Magical Studies?"

"Oh, you said that, it's been postponed for the time being. Professor Broad's tone of understatement was like saying what to eat at noon today.

"Postponed?"

Albert was also stunned, he didn't expect to get such an answer.

"Yes, postponed. Professor Broad looked at Albert, "The last part of the remainder seems to have hit some bottlenecks, and Mogg has decided to postpone the third part. ”

As he spoke, Professor Broad took the suitcase, took out a file bag from it and handed it to Albert, "You are also an expert in magical writing, Mogg thinks you will also be interested in it, if you have any ideas after reading it, you can write to him." ”

"I see. Albert nodded, and got up to leave. He could tell that Professor Broad had something to say to Sister McDoug.

Isobel got up and followed to the door.

"You don't have to send it to me. Albert looked at Isobel and quipped.

In the next second, the wooden door in front of Albert slammed shut.

"What a humorless guy. Albert shook his head as he looked at the closed wooden door, and turned to leave the Defence Against the Dark Arts office. He was going to the library, finish his remaining vacation homework, and study what Professor Broad had given him.

"The guy is finally gone. Katrina muttered.

However, Uncle Mogg seems to be very optimistic about him.

Thinking of this, the girl was a little depressed, and the feeling of being crushed in all aspects was really bad.

"From the start, you picked the wrong target. Isobel sat back on the couch and touched Katrina's head and reminded, "That's a real genius, destined to leave school with countless halos, and if you compete with him, you're making yourself uncomfortable." ”

Katrina is a little dissatisfied, is the gap between the two sides really that big?

"Albert is very nice. Professor Broad smiled, "He's the most talented wizard I've ever met. ”

"Yes, it's just a bit of a bad taste. Isobel shook his head as he remembered what Albert had done.

"Ravenclaw students are eccentric. "And geniuses are usually at odds with ordinary people." ”

Isobel's cheeks twitched, and she thought that Albert's bad taste had nothing to do with him being a genius.

"Uncle Budd, Albert Anderson is in Gryffindor, not in Ravenclaw. Katrina reminded.

"Oh, of course I do. ”

"What are you looking for from us?" Isobel pulled the conversation back.

"This is what your father left with me. Professor Broder took out a delicate wooden box from his suitcase, with intricate patterns on it.

"Can't open. Katrina tried, but found that the wooden box would not be opened.

"There's magic protection on it, and you can't open it in the normal way. ”

Professor Broad drew his wand, touched it on the top of the box, and said a series of strange incantations, before saying to Sister McDoug, "Put your hand on the top of the box and you'll open it." ”

Katrina and Isobel put their hands on the box, and a faint click was heard, and the wooden box opened automatically, revealing the contents inside.

A letter, and ...... A key.

"Is this my father's relic?" Katrina looked up and down as she picked up the key, remembering that her father had died in a magical experiment when they were very young.

Isobel picked up the letter, opened it, and began to read its contents.

The letter was simple, introducing the key and the relics left for the sisters.

It was a key to Gringotts, and the contents of the treasury were not Galleons, but archives and records of the magical experiments of the year.

"Why did Father give those to us?" Isobel looked at Professor Broad in confusion, "does he want us to continue his research?"

"No, after he died, Mogg sorted out some of the relics, which he thought were your father's legacy to you, so ...... The original research materials were sealed. Professor Broad explained to the two of them the origin of the key.

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Budd, but we don't want those things. Isobel decisively declined.

After all, it was the magic experiment that made them lose their father, and Isobel instinctively rejected these things. But she also understood what Uncle Mogg meant.

With Isobel's talent, he could continue his research in the future and complete that magic experiment, which is why Professor Broder gave it to the two sisters.

"I can understand that. Professor Broad nodded, "If you don't want to, I'll take care of it myself." ”

"Isobel. Katrina was very unhappy that her sister did not ask her opinion, so she directly refused.

Isobel didn't pay much attention to his sister's displeasure, and asked, "Who are you going to give it to? Anderson?"

"Anderson is a good candidate. Professor Broad thought for a moment and said, "Rowanna can do the same." ”

"Rowanna Smith?" said Isobel frowned slightly, this was also a well-known wizard, he was a friend of his father's and was said to have worked together.

"Can't you just listen to me?" protested Katrina, dissatisfied.

"What do you think?" Isobel looked at his sister, "I don't want you to make a so-called choice out of anger. ”

"I'm not a child, how could I do that. Katrina couldn't help but protest, "Since it was left to us by my father, I think it should be kept, not abandoned, maybe...... Maybe I'll be able to continue my father's magical studies in the future. ”

There was an eerie dead silence in the office.

"Alright!" Isobel said with a slight bow to Professor Broder, "We'll take the stuff, thank you, Uncle Budd." ”

"You're welcome. Professor Broad said.

......

Albert, who had just walked into the library with his feet up, suddenly stopped, turned away amid the stunned gazes of the others.

Albert had just flipped through his notebook when he happened to turn to the page of the prediction of the secret treasure of Ravenclaw, and was ready to try his luck at the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.

He made his way to the eighth-floor hallway, casting an illusion spell on himself somewhere in a secluded place on the way, avoiding the others from spotting him wandering around the tapestry where the stupid Barnabas trolls were teaching the trolls to do ballet.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the Room of Requirement, Albert closed his eyes and thought intently: enter the secret treasure of Ravenclaw...... Ravenclaw's Secret Treasure...... Ravenclaw's Secret Treasure.

After walking through that place three times, Albert immediately opened his eyes and looked at the entrance of the Room of Requirement, where he was still facing a plain white wall.

"Failed?" Albert muttered, looking at the plain white wall in front of him, "I'm not right...... Or that room isn't called Ravenclaw's Secret Treasure. ”

Albert pulled his pen out of his pocket, jotted down his attempt in a small notebook, then closed his eyes again, focused his thoughts, and continued walking.

I need a Ravenclaw chamber...... I need a Ravenclaw chamber...... I need to get into the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets.

After walking three times, Albert opened his eyes again.

The door appeared!

"It worked!"

Albert felt his heart beat a few beats faster, and after looking left and right to make sure that there was no one around, he quickly pushed the door and walked into the room where he was answered.

Inside the door was indeed a secret room, a narrow secret room with no windows.

Albert was greeted by a wooden table, an armchair, and ...... On the wall in front of you hangs a vertical banner depicting a Ravenclaw eagle.

Other than that, nothing...... Clean and irritating.

Albert stepped forward and lifted the vertical banner with the Ravenclaw eagle painted on it, looked at the sturdy wall, and muttered, "Well, it's indeed the 'Ravenclaw Chamber', count you ruthless!"

"It's not a secret room, then it's ......"

Albert left the Room of Requirement, looked at the vanishing door, frowned again, and strode up.

I need you to become a Ravenclaw treasure trove...... Ravenclaw's Treasure Trove...... Ravenclaw's Treasure Trove.

Albert reopened his eyes and found that the door had reappeared.

When Albert walked into the Ravenclaw treasure trove, he found that it was a bit like the last time he had entered, and it was full of items that had been hidden by former Ravenclaw students, worn-out books, newspapers, boots, broken brooms, and old robes......

Are you sure this is not a place to dump garbage? Or is the Room of Requirement mistaken about "treasure trove"?

The corners of Albert's mouth twitched, and he knew that he had failed, so he didn't try to search for it, but obediently withdrew from this so-called Ravenclaw treasure house.

After three defeats, Albert was a little discouraged and expressed doubts that Ravenclaw's secret treasure was really in the Room of Requirement.

If the secret treasure of Ravenclaw is really here, why isn't there a related quest on the panel?

Just as Albert was about to leave, he noticed a new task pop up on his task panel.

Find a treasure trove of Ravenclaw knowledge.

You're acutely aware of where Ravenclaw's heritage lies, so why not try your hand at Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge?

Reward: Unknown.

Again an unknown reward.

However, is the Ravenclaw Treasury called the Treasury of Knowledge?

That's a fitting name.

However, when Albert tried to enter the treasure trove of knowledge, he failed.

Albert was a little stunned for a moment, this can still fail, the task prompt is fake!

The rest of the time, Albert continued to experiment, what Ravenclaw room, what Ravenclaw private library.

Well, the private library managed to get in, it was a circular room, with only a round table and an armchair, and the walls were all covered with curved bookshelves, and the skylight overhead let in the sun, but ...... The mission was not completed.

So, it's not a so-called treasure trove of knowledge at all.

If libraries are not a repository of knowledge, then what is?

Albert was a little confused, and he sat down in his armchair, resting his feet on the table, thinking about how to enter the treasure trove of knowledge.

"Could it be that my guess was wrong from the beginning?" Albert sighed lightly, since the panel task can be stimulated, it means that the treasure trove of Ravenclaw knowledge is in the Room of Requirement.

Perhaps he should have gone to one of his Ravenclaw students and asked if there were any legends about Ravenclaw.

As Albert was about to leave the Room of Requirement, he caught a glimpse of an old wooden plank with an eagle-shaped bronze knocker on it, and the famous Ravenclaw quote written next to it: Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest treasure of mankind.

Could it be that only Ravenclaw students can find the so-called treasure trove of knowledge?

Albert suddenly remembered one thing, Ravenclaw's eagle-shaped bronze knocker:

When you knock on the door, Eagle Ring will ask you questions.

If you can answer correctly, you will be allowed to enter.

For the past thousand years, no one but the Ravenclaw students have been able to pass through this simple barrier.

Albert walked over to the eagle-shaped bronze knocker and tapped his hand twice on the board.

The next moment, something unexpected happened, and the eagle-shaped bronze knocker in front of him actually opened his mouth to ask a question.
