Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 155: The greedy predator
"What is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space, the beginning of every end?"
After the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker asked the question, the silence fell again, as if waiting for the questioned to answer the question.
Albert frowned, and after repeating the riddle of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker to himself, complained, "I hate riddles."
At a critical moment, he was blocked by a riddle, making Albert feel uncomfortable.
Albert knew he might not be able to guess the answer, at least, temporarily.
Deciphering this level is actually very simple, as long as you understand all the riddles, the content of the questions asked by the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker will inevitably be repeated.
After all, Ravenclaw's students can't all be smart and talented, and can answer questions because they already know the answer from someone else's mouth.
Knowledge is for learning.
When someone can't answer the question posed by the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, they can only wait for someone else to answer it, so that they can learn what they don't understand.
Not a student of Ravenclaw, naturally no chance to learn the answer to pass the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker from other senior students, naturally unable to pass this simple barrier.
Even for geniuses, it's not an easy task to get an immediate answer without having been exposed to similar riddles.
Albert never considered himself a genius, so he didn't expect to answer the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker immediately.
Do you really want to use the Disillusionment Charm to squat at the entrance of the Ravenclaw common room and eavesdrop on the riddles and answers of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker?
It's ridiculous!
Even if I get some riddles and answers from Ravenclaw students, the next time I come, the riddles will definitely be changed.
"It's really nerve-racking!" Albert muttered to himself.
He's given up on answering the eagle-bronze knocker for now, unless it happens to ask about the phoenix and fire.
But the odds of that happening are slim.
Albert recorded the riddle and got up and left the Room of Requirement. Anyway, I already know how to get in, so I can wait until next time to come over and answer the question about the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker.
After leaving the Room of Requirement, Albert went straight to the library.
"Where did you just go?" Fred asked, looking up. "I heard people say that as soon as you stepped into the library with your front foot, you turned and left with your back foot."
"Suddenly remembered something." Albert sat down in the seat that Lee Jordan and Fred had occupied for him.
"What's the matter?" Fred asked again.
Albert took out his notebook and turned to the page of the riddle to show Fred.
"What?" Lee Jordan also leaned his head over, stunned when he saw the contents of the notebook.
"The riddle, can you guess the answer?" Albert asked several people.
"How free are you!" Lee Jordan retracted his head and resumed his vacation homework, apparently having no idea what the answer was.
George leaned over just as curiously, just glanced and went back to his vacation homework.
This guy always likes to study weird stuff.
The three of them all lamented that their roommates were sore. If they had such free time to think about the answers to the riddles, it would be better to do a few more questions.
Albert did not count on a few people to help him solve the problem, and began to read the content of the riddle seriously.
"What is the beginning of eternity? What is the end of time? What is the end of space? What is the beginning of every end?"
"There should be one thing in common between them."
Albert thought carefully and wrote down the information he analyzed on the scratch paper.
First of all, that thing has to be eternal and related to time and space?
"The moment?"
If time is eternal, then the moment when time first begins is the beginning of eternity, and the last moment of a period of time is not the end of that period of time?
Is it the beginning of each end?
If time is divided into periods of time, each end point is the beginning of another period?
But...what the **** is the end of space?
Should it mean four-dimensional space?
It has been speculated that four-dimensional space refers to time.
Okay, that seems like a good deal.
Make do with a ghost!
Albert doesn't think this is the answer to the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, and he even doubts that wizards know what four-dimensional space is.
Even wizards outnumber muggles in the study of time.
So...this is definitely not the right answer...it means...
"May I fall into a misunderstanding?" Albert stared at the riddle.
"The answer here is not to replace something, but to refer to the commonality of eternity, time, space, and destination."
What do eternity, time, space, and destination have in common?
Albert ran his fingers over the eternal word, read it softly, and then froze.
Eternal?
At this moment, Albert suddenly felt that he knew what the answer to the riddle was. The word for time was time, the word for space was, and the word for end was End.
So...the answer to the eagle bronze door is actually E?
Are common alphabet riddles in the UK?
Albert looked at the e on the little book and thought it was more in line with the answer of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker than the time.
"It seems that I'm not too stupid, at least I guessed the answer."
"Are you making fun of us?"
Hearing Albert's words, Fred couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
If you're still stupid, what are we?
A troll?
"Why don't you do your vacation homework?" Angelina asked, looking away from the parchment ~IndoMTL.com~.
"Albert is enjoying the joy of solving the riddle!" Lee Jordan asked, "What's the answer?"
"The letter e."
"Where did you get the riddle?" Angelina grumbled, glancing at the content of the riddle, "It doesn't seem that difficult."
"That's because you've just heard the answer, so it's not difficult." Lee Jordan looked at Angelina speechlessly. He had just read the riddle and didn't think about it at all.
"Don't you want to challenge Ravenclaw's eagle ring riddle?" Arya looked at Albert suspiciously and continued, "It is said that Ravenclaw students once challenged the eagle ring. Riddles, I answered a hundred of them correctly."
"That's a good idea." Albert nodded, "I'll try it some other day when I have time."
"I'm curious how Ravenclaw students will react when they find out." George looked up. "Whenever you go, remember to call me."
“It would be nice to have a few answers?”
"We have confidence in you," Fred said with George. "We believe you must be smarter than Ravenclaw students."
I don't have self-confidence. Where did you two get that self-confidence?
Albert glanced at the prompt of the task panel, and a new task appeared
The greedy predator.
You find it fun to set up a challenge with the eagle ring, try to answer a hundred eagle ring riddles correctly in one go, and let Ravenclaw students know that it's not just Ravenclaw students who can answer the eagle ring riddle correctly.
