Chapter 315: Great Harvest
On the way back to the castle, the two remained silent, but Albert could still tell that Isobel was emotionally unstable.
There was no way, as soon as the excitement of revenge subsided, he fell into the fear of killing. After all, Isobel is still an underage girl after all.
When they returned to the castle, they did not alarm anyone.
Hogwarts students are struggling with a heavy load of holiday homework, and the library, auditorium, hall and common room are the places they should be.
Now, the two needed to find Katrina first, and Smith had hidden her, having previously barged into the Defence Against the Dark Arts office to retrieve their wands, but had not found anyone.
"Are you sure Katrina is hiding in the Room of Requirement?"
"I couldn't find her name on the map of the live spots. Albert pointed to the Livespot Map and explained, "Only the Room of Requirement can shield the tracking magic of the Livespot Map. ”
"I need a place for Tibetans, I need a place for Tibetans, I need a place for Tibetans!" Isobel walked back and forth in front of the wall three times, but the door did not appear.
Albert was right, but how to get in now, they couldn't have been trying here all the time.
"At this point, it's time to try your luck. Albert motioned for Isobel to wait for a moment.
"Elixir?" Isobel reacted immediately, Albert took the elixir, although the lucky water could not really bring luck, but she was willing to trust Albert's intuition.
"It's still working, my gut tells me that Rowanna Smith may have hidden Katrina in the Ravenclaw Vault!" Albert began to mutter, "Ravenclaw's private library." ”
After pacing back and forth three times, a door appeared on the wall, Isobel immediately pushed the door in, Albert glanced at the map of the living point, and after making sure that there was no one around, he immediately followed her inside, and Isobel had already answered the eagle ring question and entered the Ravenclaw secret room.
"She's here, Katrina is here!" said Isobel's voice with unconcealed delight.
When Albert enters the chamber, he sees Katrina fainting.
Then again, the McDoug sisters really look alike.
Albert stepped forward to support Katrina, and together with Isobel, led the man out of the Ravenclaw chamber.
In Ravenclaw's private library, a hospital bed appeared at some point, and the two of them put her on it.
"Don't worry, Rowanna Smith is dead, the Imperius Curse he cast should be gone on its own, and Katrina's breathing is steady, it should only be a coma charm. ”
Alberta sat down in a chair and whispered comfortingly, "Now, you need to make sure if Katrina's memories have been tampered with, if she has forgotten that part of her memories just now. It's better not to let her know about this matter, it's enough for the two of us to bear it. ”
"You're right!" Isobel took a deep breath and regained his composure, sitting down across from Albert to discuss the next steps.
"What's your idea?" asked Isobel.
"It's very simple, just change Katrina's memories later, and I'll bring her to the Room of Requirement, and I promised Katrina to take her to a place where she can use a time turner. Albert took out the Traceless Stretch Box from his transformer lizard bag, took out two cups from it, and a large barrel of butterbeer, and poured himself a glass. The barrel of butterbeer was his reward for the Wizard Card Tournament, and now he drank it to celebrate their escape.
"Do you want it?"
"Hmm!" Isobel stared at the full butterbeer glass, falling into a brief silence.
"I think you should think about your situation, your mindset hasn't been completely adjusted. Albert took a sip of his butterbeer and continued, "Actually, even if you didn't, I would have killed him, and I'm a man who holds a grudge. ”
"I was prepared for it a long time ago. Isobel looked up at Albert and whispered, "I've also thought about what I need to bear." Still, thank you for your concern. ”
"What do you plan to do in the future, after the revenge is successful, if you don't have a new goal, you will feel very lost. Albert kindly reminded.
Isobel held the wine glass, stared at the bubbles inside, and said, "I plan to continue to complete my father's magic experiments. ”
"Need me help you?" Albert blurted out almost directly.
Isobel raised his head and looked Albert up and down, his expression a little strange, but he quickly nodded again, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you are willing to help." ”
"Your smile is beautiful, and you should smile often. Albert quickly claimed the reward on the quest board related to Isobel's opinion.
Then, he reached out to hold Isobel's hand and continued to find a topic to chat, "Also, don't be honest with me, what does it feel like to be a natural regent?"
"It doesn't feel good. A lot of people are so hypocritical, and when you can see through each other's thoughts at a glance, and then you have to pretend you don't know, it's a pretty bad feeling!"
Isobel glanced at Albert's hand, and did not take it back, but calmly recounted some of his secrets.
The year she came to Hogwarts to attend school, she showed great talent, and it was only when Uncle Mogg began to instill in her the knowledge of Occlumency, and she learned how to control her abilities.
"What about you? You're apparitions?" Isobel stared into Albert's eyes. At first, she thought that Albert had carried himself out of the Forbidden Forest, but it turned out that Albert had apparitioned himself, and she really didn't know how to describe it.
"Stealing from Professor Broad, you're the only one who knows I'll apparition, remember to keep it a secret for me. Albert winked at Isobel and smiled.
"You are so bold that you dare to lead someone to apparition before you have completely learned the apparition manifestation?" Isobel somewhat understood why Albert was assigned to Gryffindor, this guy's courage is really not ordinary, it can be seen from his style of acting.
"No, I dare to do that because I am confident that I can guarantee that nothing will happen to you with your apparition. Albert shook his head and said, "Don't forget, I drank the Elixir, and with its help, I can easily use even the silent spell that I can't use smoothly, let alone the apparition." ”
"That's right!" Isobel nodded, Albert hardly did anything he was not sure of, and the battle with Rowanna Smith seemed dangerous, but he had already prepared for it.
After the two drank the butterbeer and chatted happily for half an hour, Isobel found that his nervousness had completely calmed down.
Their treatment of Katrina is actually very simple, Albert uses rejuvenation to wake people up, and Isobel, who is hidden by the illusion charm, secretly uses a fake memory charm to tamper with Katrina's memory.
Looking at the two of them talking and laughing, the girl suddenly sighed lightly.
The three soon went their separate ways, and as Albert returned to the common room, Lee Jordan handed him a letter from Professor Broad.
The letter is short, but it contains a lot of information:
Don't worry, the matter is settled, we'll talk about it another day.
Isobel was in a similar situation, having also received such a letter.
"It's so efficient!" Albert couldn't help but sigh.
"What's really efficient?"
"Nothing!"
Albert returned the re-wiped wand to Lee Jordan, his wand had long since returned, and Smith's office couldn't stop his lock-picking skills.
"I've got some things to do, I'll see you later. ”
After saying that, Albert prepared to go back to the Room of Requirement, and while the effect of the elixir had not completely disappeared, he received the remaining task rewards.
"Where are you going?" said Fred, walking briskly, "did you take the parchment?" ”
Originally, the two wanted to use the live map to see if Albert was going on a date, but they found that the live map was missing, and they were depressed for a long time.
"I'm here, I'll give it to you later!"
Albert quickly disappeared around the corner, and when he returned to the Room of Requirement, he couldn't wait to open the quest panel to see the rewards for completing the quest.
The "other purpose" of a long time ago has been accomplished.
Rowanna Smith's secret to Hogwarts was supposed to be to identify the Wildsmith family and prepare to target the two candidates.
The candidates are likely to be just him and Isobel, because Katrina is also considered the best of her generation, but she was not selected, which is already very telling.
In addition to experience, the reward is a random Rowanna Smith skill.
What could it be?
That guy knows a lot of magic, and Albert is really a little greedy.
"Buddha bless, God bless, Merlin bless, be sure to let me have useful skills with me!" Albert chattered as he claimed the reward for the mission.
When I opened the skill bar to check, I found that I had an extra Drill Heart Charm.
Albert didn't know what to say.
After completing the unforgivable task, he learned the Imperius Curse again, because he threw the Avada Suo Curse in the Forbidden Forest, and it just so happened that he had made up all three of the Unforgivable Spells.
It doesn't feel like it's working.
After all, the Unforgivable Charm could not be used at will, and if Albert really wanted to learn it, he would have learned it a long time ago.
Now it's good, just master.
However, after mastering the three unforgivable spells, a new quest was triggered.
Rise of the Dark Lord.
At a young age, you have mastered the three unforgivable spells, it seems that you have the potential to become a dark wizard, so use black magic to bring pain to people!
0/10
Reward: 2000 experience, gain a specific dark magic, magic reputation +100.
Can you even add prestige?
Don't tell me, increasing negative reputation is also increasing reputation.
Albert couldn't help but want to complain.
To be honest, Albert didn't shy away from using dark magic, but he didn't want to be a dark wizard.
Dark Lord or something, forget it.
Greenwald and Voldemort are the best examples of this.
The appearance of this task made Albert's good mood disappear by half, and he also received the reward for the "wrong decision" with an additional Muggle dispel charm.
This spell can only be said to be so-so, not useless, but Albert could have learned it elsewhere, and now he didn't have to spend time and energy learning it.
Sure enough, it's too bad to get skills randomly.
The last time I was able to obtain potions mastery, it was really Merlin's apparition.
Rowanna Smith himself knows a lot of magic, and if he is randomly drawn to have more skills, Albert feels that he may need a lucky aura.
However, fortunately, the "Attack" reward in the quest panel is to specify a skill, and the Drill Heart Curse has not been in vain, and Albert has decided to put this quest until the end to receive it.
Speaking of the Drill Heart Curse, there is also a quest on the quest panel, which is similar to the rock-solid one triggered by the Imperius Curse, except that this quest is called "Hard Bone".
The bonus is +1 resistance to the Drill Heart Spell.
Albert suspected that if he didn't die under the Avada Curse, he might be able to trigger a similar quest again.
Collect three rewards, and you might even trigger new quests, like Rise of the Dark Lord.
However, Albert soon gave up the idea of dying, he was not Harry Potter, and if he did, he might be dead.
The next mission makes Albert want to laugh, and his name is "Innocent Wolf"
It's a quest triggered by the two unlucky werewolves captured by Rowanna Smith, which rewards very little experience, and getting a skill called Friends of Werewolves can slightly increase the werewolf's opinion of you.
To be honest, Albert didn't think the two werewolves were innocent at all.
Isobel's side triggered a quest called "Maiden's Revenge", on the condition that he help Isobel complete his revenge, which happened to be done together with the "Tooth for Tat" quest that killed Rowanna Smith, and the reward was not bad, with a little skill point and Isobel's friendship +40.
It was only when Albert suggested that Isobel have the Eight-Eyed Spider kill and eat Rowanna Smith.
The three tasks of the girl's revenge, revenge, and difficult brothers directly allowed Albert to brush Isobel's favorability to more than 70.
The relationship between the two has gone further.
"A tooth for a tooth" is second only to the attack, giving Albert 5000 experience plus 2 skill points.
In the end, it was Albert who was looking forward to the most, and he couldn't help but rub his hands and receive the reward for the task of "Confrontation".
The panel suddenly expanded the list of skills, it was Rowanna Smith's list of skills, more than Albert, he was dazzled, and he didn't even know what the names of some skills were for.
What should I choose?
Half an hour later, Albert picked out a few skills that he found useful: duel, spell mastery, and Finkley's spell casting technique.
It's a pity that the elixir is gone, otherwise you can choose it by feeling.
After thinking about it, Albert still decided to choose Spell Mastery.
Duels may make you stronger, but with a Potions Mastery in front of you, you may be able to surprise yourself with a Spell Mastery.
As for Finkley's spell casting, Albert didn't think about it, he thought that Professor Broad might too, and that he might have the opportunity to learn from him.
