Chapter 45: Discovering the Clues
"Dumbledore's methods are not so easy to deal with, and looking at the methods in front of me, I feel that this is a game of brave adventures. I said www.biquge.info earlier that only Dumbledore's spell and the means of hiding the Philosopher's Stone are the only protection of the Philosopher's Stone. George had gone all the way, and he was not satisfied with the previous test, "Dumbledore might as well take the Philosopher's Stone with him." ”
"That's a good idea, if Dumbledore had been kept in tip-top condition with the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort wouldn't have been able to do evil for a long time. Hermione immediately agreed with George.
Everyone walked and talked, and soon came to the end of the corridor, where there was another door, and George stepped forward and tried to push the door, this time without incident, the door opened.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a foul smell of sewers and toilets suddenly gushed out, but fortunately, everyone had some preparations in advance and did not vomit. Everyone covered their mouths and noses with their clothes, and looked cautiously inside, and a huge figure was lying motionless on the ground, a troll with a huge lump oozing blood on its head.
"It's bigger and more ferocious than the last time George and I encountered the troll. Harry looked the troll up and down.
"The elite of the trolls, the mountain monsters, perhaps?" Hermione remembered from the book, the largest and most ferocious of the trolls could be called the mountain monsters.
"It stinks, and it's a good thing not to have to fight it. Ron covered his mouth and nose and grumbled.
George put a slumber spell on the troll before beckoning everyone to hurry up and get out of here.
Everyone moved on to the next door, "Now it's Snape's turn." Harry looked at the empty room in front of him, with only one table lined up with seven bottles of different shapes.
When everyone stepped into the threshold, a flame suddenly rose behind them, blocking the intersection, this flame was unusual, dark purple, and before they got close, they could feel the thick magic contained in it. And at this time, black flames also broke out in the opposite intersection, and there was no way back and forth all of a sudden, trapping people in the center.
"Now it's Snape's means, which means that the trolls in front of you are Quirrell's methods. George took a closer look at the flames, and suddenly thought of something, and came up with a detail that everyone had overlooked.
"Trolls are Quirrell's trick!" Hermione listened to George's words, and her heart was shocked, as if she had overlooked something before.
"Do you want to say that it wasn't Snape who stole the Philosopher's Stone, but Quirrell, no way. Ron looked incredulous, Quirrell's face was impossible.
"It's uncertain who will steal the Philosopher's Stone, but there's no doubt that neither Snape nor Quirrell can be trusted. The trolls here were put by Quirrell, so the previous trolls in the academy were probably also put by Quirrell. ”
George's voice was a little cold, and his flat words seemed to be full of deep meaning, "Quirrell is so open-minded to arrange trolls here, it is impossible for the professors and Dumbledore in the school not to know, so do they already know that the trolls in the academy are also arranged by Quirrell." ”
As clues are discovered step by step, clues are discovered, and everyone is getting closer to the truth step by step, and is getting closer to what is behind it.
"Let's take a look at the content of this level first, but don't rule out the possibility that the person behind you is Quirrell. "I've been here, and I'll know who it is after I've spent it, and George doesn't want to continue to speculate, just warn him in advance.
"I'll see first!" Hermione didn't bother to think about whether it was Snape or Quirrell, her attention was already drawn to the parchment scroll on the table, and she read it aloud as she read it aloud.
"There's danger in front of you, it's safe in the rear, and there are two in the middle that can help you, drink them. One guides you forward, and the other allows you to go back the way you came. Two of them are nettle wine and three are killers, and they're all lined up waiting for you to pick up. Unless you're going to wait here forever, we've got four clues for you to sift through. ”
"First, no matter how the poisons are hidden, they are all in the coordinates of the nettle wine. ”
"Second, the bottles on the left and right are different, and they won't help you if you're going to move forward. ”
"Thirdly, you can see that the bottles vary in size, and there is no Grim Reaper in the largest and smallest. ”
"Fourth, the second on the left and the second on the right, although they look different, the taste is the same. ”
Hermione read down a long string, "It's not a magic, it's a logical reasoning, it's a guessing puzzle, it's more like a brave adventure." However, many great wizards do not have basic logical reasoning skills, and this problem can trap them. ”
"It's not too difficult to ask, and whoever has passed, it's clear that it's not working. "It's a viable way to stump wizards with logical questions, but it's clear that it's not a good idea.
"So what are we going to do? how are we going to get out?" Ron felt his brain buzzing at this point, and he didn't have the heart to do any logical reasoning questions now, so he asked Hermione directly.
"No, it's not a difficult question. Hermione repeated the message on the parchment scroll, "The information you need to know is all on paper, there are seven bottles in here, there are three poisons, two are nettles, one will allow us to pass through the black flames, and one will allow us to go back through the purple flames." ”
"The potion in this smallest bottle allows one to safely pass through the black flames in front of it and see the Philosopher's Stone. Hermione clapped her little hands, and as she had said, it didn't take her a few minutes to unravel the code.
Listening to Hermione's words, everyone gathered around and looked at the inconspicuous little bottle. Everyone looked at the bottle and exchanged glances with each other, a little embarrassed for a while.
"The potion in this can only let one person through, which is not enough for one mouthful. Ron was a little anxious and broke the deadlock.
"I have to move forward, it's my responsibility and it's my responsibility to get everybody involved. Harry's eyes were full of determination, and no matter what would happen to him after the flames, he couldn't allow himself to back down, and he couldn't allow anyone else to take risks in his place.
"If you have strength, you should definitely go over to me. "George thinks about how to deal with the situation and there should be better options, but it will take a little time.
"There should be other ways, or we're thinking about it. Hermione had thought of the key point, she was here, and she didn't want Harry or George to venture alone.
"Yes, we can think of another way, we can even block it here, Snape will always come out of here. Unwilling to let himself be a spectator, Ron made a reasonable suggestion.
