In the last week of the semester, the sky suddenly cleared up, and the wind and snow that had lasted for several days seemed to be wiped away by a pair of invisible hands. The winter sunshine shone on the round table in front of the bed through the windows covered with morning frost.
Albert looked at the clear sky, and his heart became better. He covered a yawn, sat back in the armchair, and used the sunshine outside the window to read the Eagle Ring riddle he recorded last time. Albert was going to take advantage of everyone to go to Huo Huo.
In his free time in Germode Village, he completed the "Greedy Predator" task on the task panel and tried to answer more than a hundred eagle ring riddles. It was really not a difficult task for Albert now.
Especially after drinking Bafei Brain Refresher, completing the task of "expanding your brain", and gaining new skills to think more actively.
Active thinking is another weird skill. Unlike other skills, it cannot be upgraded.
Yes, active thinking cannot be upgraded. To a certain extent, this is a waste, but it is undeniable that after obtaining active thinking, Albert's brain has indeed become more flexible, his instant memory is stronger, and he has become more knowledgeable about some things.
The sense of smell is more sensitive, just like taking a small amount of Baffin.
Maybe, this is what the so-called genius is!
Albert always felt that one day, his fake genius might be able to accumulate skills and become a real genius.
"You really don't want to go to Hogsmeade with us?" Fred asked again. He felt that if the foursome lacked one person, they would lack a lot of fun.
"I'm not going, I have something else to do today, and I have two replies to write." Albert thought for a moment and then said, "When you come back, bring me a bottle of butterbeer and the candies on the list."
"Okay, see you in the afternoon, we will bring you a bunch of candies!" After greeting Albert, Lee Jordan began to count the coins in his wallet.
"And a big dung egg!" George suddenly said.
"Thank you, I don't need that thing." Albert said angrily.
"But we know who needs it!" Fred winked at Albert mischievously.
"Who? You?" Albert asked.
"No, it's Peeves. His relationship with Filch is not very good. We don't mind providing Peeves with a few big dung eggs so that he can cause trouble for Filch!" George said mischievously: "We
We have already made an agreement with Peeves."
"Why are you confronting Filch again?" Albert frowned. Although he didn't like Filch, he would never take the initiative to cause trouble for him.
"It happened a few days ago. After practicing Quidditch last time, Filch met him and called him to the office. He was accused of defiling the castle." There was disgust on Fred's face that could not be concealed. He couldn't help it.
, it’s okay to practice in the wind and snow, but when you come back, you are still being troubled, how can you feel happy.
"This crime is quite common." Albert nodded. The main reason was that Filch didn't know magic, so it would be troublesome to clean up the muddy footprints. If Filch was a wizard, it would only take three seconds at most.
Unfortunately, he is not.
"Peeves promised us that he would give Filch some dung bombs for 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 went to the Room of Requirement.
After skillfully entering the Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge in the Room of Requirement, he moved an armchair for himself and sat in front of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker. He raised his hand and tapped the wooden board twice.
The next moment, the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker asked:
Two pairs of father and son were fishing together. Each caught one fish and three in total. Why?
"Grandpa, father and son, exactly two pairs of father and son, and three fish." Albert answered this riddle easily without much thought.
"That makes sense."
In fact, Albert has heard many of the riddles on the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker. It is not too difficult, and the "Greedy Predator" mission is not continuous. Now you only need to answer 96 more riddles to complete the mission.
.
"The difficulty is easier than I thought." Albert murmured. He raised his hand and continued to knock on the door to answer the riddle of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker. He easily answered one question after another. It took about half an hour.
He has answered more than fifty questions correctly, and these riddles have basically not caused him any trouble.
Last time, Albert had memorized all of Katrina's hundred riddles and answers. It was all thanks to Katrina, otherwise he wouldn't have answered so easily now. She is such a good person.
!
Albert gave Katrina a good guy card in his heart.
Just when Albert was about to continue answering the riddle, the door to the Room of Requirement was suddenly opened. He was startled when he realized that someone had broken in. He almost instinctively pulled out his wand and pointed at the intruder.
By.
"It's you, you scared me." Albert muttered as he put away his wand.
"What are you doing here?" Isobel glanced at Albert's wand and didn't care at all. Instead, she was a little curious about why Albert appeared here.
Although Isobel also knew that Albert knew the secret room of Ravenclaw, it still felt very strange to actually meet him in such a place.
"What are you doing? Guessing riddles!" Albert raised his finger and pointed at the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker and said, "I'm challenging my limits to see if I can guess a hundred riddles right at once."
When Isobel heard this, his eyes became strange, as if he was looking at some kind of rare creature.
"Is it interesting?" she said slowly.
"Interesting." Albert nodded. This involves a panel task, how could it not be interesting?
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Albert changed the subject.
"Research the secret chamber of Ravenclaw and find a way to open it." Isobel's answer was almost the same as Albert's guess, and it was undoubtedly for the treasure trove of knowledge.
"Are there any latest research results?" Albert asked curiously.
"Yes." Isobel's answer was a bit beyond Albert's expectation, but he didn't care much and just asked casually, "What is it?"
"Let's talk after we go in." Isobel did not tell Albert directly.
"You go in first, I plan to continue to challenge the riddle!" Albert motioned for Isobel to go into the secret room.
"You're not curious at all." Isobel looked at Albert in surprise. She regretted teaching him Occlumency. Now she couldn't understand the person in front of her.
"Curious. However, I'm not in a hurry. You won't run away. I'll ask you again later. I still have some patience." Albert was really not in a hurry. He first told the "greedy plunderer"
"Let's wait until we get the mission rewards.
As for the new discoveries Isobel said, he really didn't care too much. After all, he also had his own new discoveries, and by the way, there was also the matter of Professor Smith. He might be able to get some information from Isobel.
