Chapter 227: The Insider

Empathy.

If you are the designer of the Ravenclaw Knowledge Repository, you will naturally want more students to acquire knowledge from it, and there will be nothing left in the Treasure Trove that can be easily taken away.

There is no guarantee that all the students here will be of high character.

Then, the real treasure must still be in that secret room.

But what about things?

Albert guessed it must have been hidden.

Ravenclaw selects smart students through screening, the first hurdle is the Eagle Ring, and only those who answer the riddle correctly are eligible to enter, so why can't there be a second hurdle or even a third hurdle?

There should be a secret door or something like that in the secret room, but what would be the key to open it?

Albert pondered as he ate, his fork tapping lightly on his plate, pondering clues that he might have missed.

There are only two things in the secret room, the eternal fire: the ancient flame of the gods, and the ancient scriptures.

What if the eternal fire was used for illumination?

Then the possibility will be on the ancient script.

Professor Broad and Professor Smith probably had this suspicion, so they asked themselves to translate those things.

However, the shamans of the past used ancient scripts.

What did you overlook?

Albert felt as if he had touched something.

What's so special about the Ancient Script?

By the way, Rune is a kind of writing with magical powers.

There is also the saying that extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of mankind, and perhaps this is the key to opening the secret door.

However, it is not easy to reach that level, and Albert once guessed that when the magic skill reaches level 3, he may be able to get into that level initially.

If that's really the case......

Albert was just about to open the skills panel when a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, it was the house-elf Kara, who looked at him nervously.

"Kara, is there something wrong?" Albert asked, looking up.

"Sir, are these foods not to your liking?" asked Kara, slightly uneasy.

"No, it's delicious, I'm just thinking about it. Albert's gaze fell on the plate in front of him, the food was basically not eaten, and it was no wonder that the house-elves would say so.

As he spoke, he wiped out most of the food in two bites.

Carla breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Albert's answer, and smiled at him.

However, being interrupted by the house-elves like this, Albert did not rush to check his skills, hurriedly finished his food, and got up and left the kitchen.

The castle was still empty, and the Quidditch game wasn't over yet.

It's already half past three in the afternoon.

Albert put away his pocket watch and walked to the side window, looking through the glass at the castle, where the rain had stopped.

"Do you want to go?"

He hesitated for a moment, but walked alone towards the Quidditch pitch.

As soon as he approached the Quidditch pitch, Albert felt a sense of excitement as he pushed open the door and silently walked down the stairs, his gaze falling on the intertwined figures above.

In a moment, Lee Jordan shouted in the distance, "Gryffindor scores, the current score is 140:180, and Ravenclaw is temporarily ahead." ”

The two sides are actually in a tug-of-war.

However, the difference in points is not big, and as long as Charlie can catch the Golden Snitch, Gryffindor wins.

"I thought you weren't going to come to the game. ”

Albert turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came, and it was Isobel, who was walking this way, with a pair of binoculars in her hand.

"Hmm. ”

Albert answered, looking back up the court.

"Looks like you've discovered that secret too. Isobel didn't get angry at Albert's attitude, just uttered an unpredictable word.

Albert snapped back to Isobel.

"You're using Dementory on me, isn't that right......" Albert didn't think Isobel would be able to break through her Occlumency, and even if she did use Dementor Evoking on herself, she wouldn't be unaware.

Well, this means...... She knew about that?

"What a secret. Albert pretended not to understand.

Isobel glanced at Albert and didn't answer.

"Do you mean the Room of Requirement?" Albert wouldn't silence the two sides, because that would mean he would have little more information.

"Yes. Isobel nodded imperceptibly.

"I didn't find what I was looking for. Albert frowned, thinking that Isobel could provide him with some information.

"No, I just found relevant records in the literature. ”

"Don't say you haven't been in?" Albert frowned.

"My ancient magic text is not as good as you!" Isobel glanced at Albert and said lightly. "It's hard for me to understand the ancient scriptures in there. ”

"Perhaps, Ravenclaw never thought that the Runey script would eventually become a thing of the past!" Albert suddenly sighed, feeling that the knowledge in the treasure trove was reserved for students, after all, only students and professors could be at Hogwarts and discover its secrets.

"It seems that you have nothing to gain!" Isobel's tone was filled with unconcealed disappointment.

"Where did you know that secret?" asked Albert curiously.

"What about you?"

The two sides fell silent again.

Eventually, the eerie atmosphere was broken by the cheers of the venue, and the Seekers on both sides were fighting for the Golden Snitch, and the crowd on the court stood up and their eyes fell on the battle for whoever caught the Snitch and who would bring victory to their team.

However, there seems to be a force behind the scenes to keep this game going. While the two Seekers were fighting each other, the Golden Snitch slipped away again.

The people, who were already ready to cheer for the victors, could only turn all their emotions into a disgruntled boo.

"Professor Broad and Professor Smith came to Hogwarts for it?" Albert thought Isobel should know something, she knew the two professors, and they were close.

"You don't know?" said Isobel, who lowered his glasses and looked at Albert, with a hint of strangeness in his tone.

"Know what?"

"Nothing. Isobel didn't seem to be about to answer Albert's question.

Albert looked at Isobel deeply, and he found that he couldn't see through the guy in front of him.

Is there something you haven't noticed?

"You mean an invitation to join some loose organizing group?" Albert remembered last year's Easter invitation to Dagworth's circle.

"You'll find out later. Isobel didn't answer, or was not ready to answer, she turned and left.

"Guess right? At least partially. Albert looked at Isobel's departing back and couldn't help muttering, "What a woman who is full of secrets." ”
