Chapter 245: Chance and Necessity
In the last week of the semester, the sky suddenly cleared, the wind and snow that had lasted for several days seemed to be erased by a pair of invisible hands, and the winter sun shone through the morning frost window on the round table in front of the bed.
Albert looked at the clear sky and his heart became better. Covering up a yawn, he sat back in his armchair and took advantage of the sunlight outside the window to flip through the last recorded eagle ring riddle. Albert plans to take advantage of the free time everyone is going to Hogsmeade Village to complete the "Greedy Marauder" quest on the task board, trying to answer more than a hundred Eagle Ring riddles, which is really not a difficult task for Albert now.
Especially after drinking Ba Fei Brain Awakening Agent, completing the task of "opening up the brain", and gaining new skills and active thinking.
Active Thinking is another strange skill that, unlike other skills, cannot be upgraded.
Yes, active thinking cannot be upgraded, to some extent, this is a chicken rib, but it is undeniable that after gaining active thinking, Albert's brain does become more flexible, with a super instantaneous memory, and a more sensitive sense of smell for some things, just like taking a small amount of Ba Fa brain awakening.
Perhaps, the so-called genius, that's it!
Albert always felt that one day, his fake genius might be able to accumulate skills and become a real genius.
"Why don't you come with us to Hogsmeade?" Fred asked again, feeling that the boys would be missing a lot of fun without one person.
"No, I have something else to do today, and I have two replies to write. Albert thought for a moment and said, "When you come back, bring me a bottle of butterbeer and candy from the list." ”
"Okay, see you in the afternoon, we'll bring you a bunch of candy!" said Lee Jordan as he greeted Albert and began to count the coins in his purse.
"And big!" said George, suddenly.
"Thanks, I don't need that. Albert said angrily.
"But we know who needs it!" Fred said with a mischievous wink at Albert.
"Who? ? " Albert asked rhetorically.
"No, it's Peeves, he doesn't have a good relationship with Filch, and we don't mind giving Peeves a few big eggs to get him in trouble with Filch!" George said mischievously, "We've made an agreement with Peeves." ”
"Why did you fight Filch again?" Albert frowned, although he didn't like Filch, he never took the initiative to trouble him.
"A few days ago, after the last Quidditch practice, I was met by Filch, and I was called to the office for the crime of defiling the castle. Fred's face had a disgust that could not be concealed, there was no way, it was okay to practice against the wind and snow, and when he came back, he was still being troubled, how could he be happy.
"It's a very common crime. Albert replied, mainly because Filch didn't know magic, and it was troublesome to clean up mud footprints. If Filch were a wizard, it would take a maximum of three seconds to do it.
Unfortunately, he is not.
"Peeves promised us that he would send Filch a few big dung bombs at Christmas. Fred said happily, "Okay, see you later." ”
The three of them hurried to the secret passage behind the mirror on the fifth floor, and Albert also set off for the Room of Requirement.
After skillfully entering the Ravenclaw knowledge treasure trove in the Room of Need, he moved himself an armchair and sat down in front of the eagle-shaped bronze knocker, and tapped his hand twice on the wooden plank.
The next moment, the eagle-shaped bronze knocker opened the door to ask:
Two fathers and sons fished together, each caught one fish, a total of three, why?
"Grandpa, father and son, just two pairs of father and son, three fish. Albert answered the riddle with little thought.
"Makes sense. ”
In fact, Albert had heard many riddles about the eagle-shaped bronze knocker, and the difficulty was not great, and the "Greedy Marauder" quest was not continuous, and now he only needed to answer 96 more riddles to complete the task.
"It's easier than I thought. Albert muttered. He raised his hand and continued to knock on the door to answer the riddle of the eagle-shaped bronze knocker, and easily answered one question after another, and it took him about half an hour to get more than fifty questions right, and these riddles basically did not cause him any trouble.
Last time, Albert had memorized Katrina's 100 riddles and answers, and it was really thanks to Katrina, otherwise she wouldn't have wanted to answer so easily now, she was such a good person!
Albert mentally sent Katrina a good guy card.
Just as Albert was about to continue answering the riddle, the door of the Room of Requirement suddenly opened, and Albert was startled when he noticed that someone had broken in, and almost instinctively pulled out his wand and pointed at the intruder.
"It's you, scare me. Albert put away his wand and muttered.
"What are you doing here?" Isobel glanced at Albert's wand, completely unconcerned, and instead a little curious as to why Albert was here.
Although Isobel also knew that Albert knew about Ravenclaw's secret room, it still felt very strange to actually meet each other in such a place.
"What are you doing, guess the riddles!" Albert said, pointing to the eagle-shaped bronze knocker, "I'm pushing my limits to see if I can guess a hundred riddles right in one go." ”
Isobel's eyes became strange when he heard this, as if he was looking at some rare creature.
"Interesting?" she whispered.
"Interesting. Albert nodded. It's a panel task involved, how can it be boring?
"By the way, what are you doing here?" said Albert, digressing the subject.
"Study the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets and find a way to open it. Isobel's answer was not far from Albert's guess, no doubt for the sake of a treasure trove of knowledge.
"What's the latest research?" Albert asked curiously.
"Yes. Isobel's answer was a bit of a surprise to Albert, but he didn't pay much attention to it, just casually asked, "What is it?"
"Let's go inside. Isobel didn't tell Albert directly.
"You go in first, I'm going to continue to challenge the riddle!" Albert motioned to Isobel to enter the chamber.
"You're not curious at all. Isobel looked at Albert in surprise, she regretted teaching the other party Occlumency, and now she couldn't read the person in front of her.
"Curious. However, I am not in a hurry, you will not run away, and it will be the same if you ask later, I still have this patience. Albert is really not in a hurry, let's get the "Greedy Marauder" quest reward first.
As for the new discovery in Isobel's mouth, he really didn't care too much, after all, he also had his own new discovery, and by the way, there was also the matter of Professor Smith, maybe he could get some information from Isobel's mouth.
