After the banquet, everyone said goodbye and left.
"Thank you for the invitation, Professor Brod." Albert waited for Professor Brod to send all the guests away and then expressed his gratitude to him.
"It seems that your harvest is good." Professor Broad smiled and motioned for Albert to come into the room.
"Yes."
Albert sat on the armchair opposite Professor Brod, looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Alchemy is more profound than I imagined. It's really fascinating."
"Alchemy is a profound knowledge." Professor Broad said gently: "It contains a lot of things. You should have noticed that knowledge limits your performance."
"Yes, I have noticed it." Albert was quite helpless. After all, his time in contact with the magic world was still very short.
"Don't worry. For most wizards, alchemy just begins when they reach adulthood. However, unfortunately, it is difficult for most wizards to go further in this field." Professor Broad
He shook his head and said, "How many people can concentrate on studying magic and alchemy after leaving school?"
After leaving school, many wizards' magical skills have indeed continued to improve, but that's all.
"Where is the Silent Man?" Albert raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I didn't expect you also knew about the Silent Man." Professor Brod was surprised.
"After receiving the warning letter last time, I specifically checked the Ministry of Magic." Albert smiled maliciously, "Know yourself and know your enemy."
"The affairs of the Department of Mysteries are strictly confidential. No one knows what they are doing." Professor Broad looked at Albert and asked, "Are you disappointed?"
"It's not a disappointment. After all, I never expected it. How can I be disappointed?" Albert's tone was very calm.
"That's good, I don't agree with you joining the Department of Mysteries." Professor Brod didn't like the Department of Mysteries very much. Although that place is the largest research institute in the British magical world, it doesn't have many substantive results. There are indeed
I'm researching some very high-level stuff, but it won't be of much help to the magic world.
"You can briefly understand it, but don't invest your energy in research. It will only be a waste of time and your talent."
Probably seeing the confusion on Albert's face, Professor Broad explained, "Dumbledore also stayed there for a short time. With your talents and talents, sooner or later you will be exposed to this field.
It’s just a matter of time.”
"Oh." Albert responded noncommittally. He already knew what was in the Department of Mysteries, and he was not interested in those things. After all, he was not a research madman, and he made magic props purely for himself.
.
Yes, Albert has always been a selfish person.
Selfless?
What it is?
In my previous life's outlook on life, I had kicked it into a corner a long time ago.
"I know you want to take the road of becoming more knowledgeable, but this is actually a big problem." Professor Brod had to inoculate Albert first. "Nico is a very special example. His life is too great."
It’s long, giving him enough time to learn and master many things.”
He continued: "Most wizards are like me, or like other wizards who came today, they are just proficient in one field. After all, human energy is limited. I hope you can understand that this will help you in your future.
Walking more smoothly.”
"I will pay attention." Albert nodded. He was not too worried about these problems. After all, there was a panel to learn skills and he could learn those things faster than others.
"Actually, Rowena also had good attainments in alchemy." Professor Broad sighed softly, "Later, it was abandoned due to certain things."
Albert didn't understand why Professor Broad brought the topic to Professor Smith. He felt that the old man in front of him seemed to have a lot to say to him, but he couldn't say it directly, so he reminded himself in indirect ways.
Because of that incident?
He felt that it was better to pretend that he didn't know. Some things would not be beautiful if they were exposed.
"Remember those ancient magic texts I asked you to translate last time?" Professor Brod moved the topic to other places, "In Hogwarts School, there is a magical room, which is located in Hogwarts School.
Opposite the tapestry on the eighth floor of Gwarts Castle where the troll beats Barnabas silly, some people call it the Room of Coming and Going, or the Room of Requirement... It was once a room designed and built by Ravenclaw, and Ravenclaw was hidden in it.
Lao’s…treasure.”
Professor Brod told Albert the location of the Room of Requirement and how to get in. The latter just listened quietly, with an even weirder expression on his face.
"It seems that you already know those things." Professor Brod saw that Albert's face did not react much, and he guessed the reason, but he was not surprised by it, but continued: "This
It is also one of the reasons why Rowena went to Hogwarts to teach. If you can unlock the secret that day, remember to tell me."
"Is there anything inside?" Albert asked curiously, "Besides, I think with Mr. McDougal's level of ancient magic writing, it shouldn't be difficult to unlock the secrets there."
"He failed." Professor Broad said.
"Failed." Albert was stunned. He knew Mr. McDougal's level of magic writing better than Professor Broad.
"I hope you can do something for me." Professor Broad continued without paying attention to the change in Albert's expression.
"Is this what Professor Smith is doing too?" Albert asked.
"He doesn't know, it's best not to tell him." Professor Brod sighed and said, "Rowena is one of those people with a more radical personality."
Delegate.
It seems that Bard Brod needs your help for something. Before that, you need to unlock the second level of Ravenclaw's knowledge treasure trove.
Reward: 3000 experience.
"Preliminary tasks?"
Albert glanced at the task panel and was a little surprised because the task actually showed that it had been completed.
"Do you want to collect it?"
After careful consideration, Albert decided to put it aside for now.
After all, this is not a game, and judging from Professor Broad's evaluation of Professor Smith, it doesn't seem to be a good one.
"Is it something important?" Albert asked again.
"It will be kept secret for now." Brod smiled mysteriously, "You will know when the time comes. Remember not to tell anyone else, especially Rowena."
Albert was a little confused, what does this mean?
Should I be on guard against Professor Smith?
"I know!" Albert nodded, indicating that he would not tell anyone else.
"By the way, do you plan to stay here before the end of the Christmas vacation, or should I have someone take you home?" Professor Broad mentioned another thing.
"Please ask someone to take me back." Albert thought about it and chose to go home to spend the rest of the Christmas vacation with his relatives.
"You can borrow a few books from here and return them to me after reading them." Professor Brod added, "Tomorrow morning, I will have someone take you back."
During the rest of the Christmas vacation, Albert stayed at home. Although it was a pity that he could not use magic, he still liked the leisurely feeling. He would occasionally tease the fat cat Tom and sit on the sofa with his family while eating.
, while watching TV, he liked the warm feeling he had regained.
