Chapter 620 This is called caution!

The room was eerily silent, with the only sound being the rustling of quills across paper.

In front of the desk by the window, Albert was immersed in writing something. There were a few crumpled pieces of paper at the foot of the desk.

He didn't know how long he had been sitting there. The cup of black tea on the table had long since cooled down, but Albert picked it up indifferently, took a sip, and continued to write seriously in his notebook, which he placed on the wooden table.

The hour hand of the pocket watch on the box has quietly slid towards three o'clock in the afternoon.

Albert finally looked away from his notebook, put down his quill, stood up and stretched his muscles, saying to himself: "I guess I am the lowest 'conspirator' in history."

"Well, maybe he's not even a 'conspirator'."

Albert doesn't like to associate himself with words like "conspirator" and "mastermind". After all, he is a good person. How could a good person be a "conspirator" or "mastermind"?

However, in order to obtain the panel task reward, he tried his best to plan for himself.

Otherwise, with Albert's style, he prefers to throw the trouble (Tom's diary) directly to Professor Dumbledore to solve, just like Professor Quirrell last year, all problems can be solved head on.

Of course, there is no denying that this is an evasive approach, but there is nothing wrong with being able to solve the problem with the simplest method, and it is also very safe.

Anyway, Albert never thought that he was a savior, nor did he think that he was brave enough. His life and death were at stake. Who is not afraid of death?

All right!

Maybe Professor Dumbledore is not afraid of death, but Albert feels that their principal would not want to die if he could.

He carefully read his plan several times.

Ever since he locked Tom Riddle's diary in a small dark room, Albert has been writing follow-up plans and making preparations. He has taken into account everything that may happen next, deleted, deleted, and prepared.

There are many countermeasures to help you escape safely when encountering danger.

Of course, if possible, it is best not to encounter danger, let yourself get through smoothly, and reap the maximum benefits.

Well, he is just more cautious.

Albert never thought he lacked Gryffindor courage.

You must know that the vast majority of Gryffindor students do not have the courage to face the basilisk.

Albert actually had no doubt at all what would happen to those people when they encountered the basilisk.

He will probably be instantly killed by the basilisk's eyes!

In fact, no matter who is familiar with the basilisk, there will be such a risk. If it were not for the protection of the author of the novel, Albert has no doubt that the lucky ones who were petrified by the basilisk would have been cold.

If it were you, would you have that kind of luck?

To be honest, Albert is not a person who likes to gamble on luck, and he doesn't think his luck is very good. The so-called magic wand can bring good luck is just talk.

He prefers to strategize, but unfortunately his talent in this area is only average, otherwise he would definitely be able to do better.

Albert took off his flat-rimmed glasses, gently touched his eyebrows with his fingers, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the glasses. This was the last life-saving trump card prepared by Nicolas Flamel for him.

As for the protective magic on the glasses, it was unreliable. Albert just hoped that he had not had the chance to try the effect of this pair of glasses.

Taking away the pocket watch, he reached out to open the wooden box, placed the diary in the folder above the wooden box, and looked down at several items in the box.

The first is the detection ball used to detect dark creatures. Once the basilisk starts to move, he will receive an alert from the detection ball as soon as possible so that he can seize the opportunity and take countermeasures.

Not long ago, a snake-repellent bullet made of ground realgar powder was used. Albert did not expect to use it to drive away the basilisk. As long as this thing could make the basilisk hesitate for a moment, it would be enough to buy him a few seconds. In the end,

The good thing is that without Tom's control, the basilisk actively avoids the realgar pink area.

Of course, if the snake repellent bombs are ineffective, Albert has prepared another killer weapon. The basilisk is afraid of the crowing of roosters. The house elves helped him raise a large group of big roosters, and waited until Tom's diary was removed from the dark room.

When released, this Poké Ball will become a chicken coop for the roosters.

If these roosters are not put to use, they can be used to make chicken soup in the end. It can be regarded as a chicken with two uses. I just don't know if the house elves can make chicken soup.

Of course, Albert's preparations are not limited to these. There is also a magic stone wall for rapid transformation. As long as he throws it out, he can quickly create a stone wall with the transformation magic and completely block the corridor. Will the basilisk take it?

Albert didn't know if it hit its head against the wall. If it wanted to hit it, just let it hit it. Anyway, it was a prop used to delay time.

He also dug out some old armor and rusty weapons from the garbage pile in the Room of Requirement to form two cannon fodder armor knights. They can move under the spell, and when necessary, they can actively attack the basilisk to cover their escape. They are also very suitable for

Delay time.

There is also the 10,000-arrow salvo needle aimed at the basilisk's eyes. After this thing is thrown out, it will actively target large creatures. I learned this from Professor Flitwick. As for whether it can stab the basilisk's eyes, I can only

It depends on luck.

There is also a sticky ball used to restrict the basilisk's movement. Throwing it can create a small sticky area. Unfortunately, Albert cannot expand the scope of the sticky swamp.

Finally, there is the flying broomstick for escaping. If it is time to escape, he will definitely not be as fast as the basilisk. Escape on a broomstick is also a good choice.

However, Albert felt that the possibility of using a broomstick was low.

Most of the items in the box were used to survive. From the beginning, Albert had no intention of confronting the basilisk. After all, the basilisk's eyes were too dangerous for him.

Of course, even if he really encounters a desperate situation, he actually has a more shameless time-shifting escape method that he can use, but Albert doesn't really want to use this trick. Things like time-turners need to be used very carefully, otherwise God knows if he is not prepared.

What will happen if you use it suddenly.

Even with a bunch of plans and magic items to escape, Albert still couldn't rest assured.

"I always feel like something is missing." Albert checked the items in the box again and frowned slightly. He felt that he had forgotten something very important.

Wandering around the table, muttering in a low voice, Albert finally knew what was missing in the box.

Blessing Elixir.

That's right, he's used up his elixir.

When it comes to your own safety, you naturally need a lucky potion. Although the lucky potion is not omnipotent, drinking it can stimulate your own potential in a short period of time. With a series of preparations in advance, the probability of success is

It can undoubtedly be improved a lot.

Albert immediately sat back at his desk and wrote a letter to the potion master Mr. Huttock, expressing his hope to buy some elixir from him, and the price was negotiable.

I believe that Mr. Hutok will not cheat himself just for some galleons, and he is not short of money.

Albert thought for a moment and wrote another letter to Bard, asking if they had any elixirs in reserve there.

After he gets the elixir, he can arrange for Tom to go on the road. Keeping such threats always makes him uneasy. It would be best if this matter can be arranged before Easter.
