Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 226: What about knowledge?

After ending the riddle bet with Katrina, Albert did not go to the stadium to watch the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, but went directly to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor. He intends to record the hundred riddles and answers proposed by Eagle Ring first, so as not to forget these things after a while.

Fast memories don't last forever. Unless Albert is often asked questions by the eagle like Ravenclaw students, it is impossible to remember the general content after a long time.

As the saying goes, a good memory is worse than a bad writing.

This adage from a previous life is still very reasonable.

It took Albert a lot of time to sort out and record these one hundred riddles and answers. By the time he put down the pen and stretched, it was already past twelve noon.

Every Quidditch match, unless it ends early, a large group of people basically don't eat lunch until the end of the game.

As for dinner?

A Quidditch match rarely lasts into the night, so how bad would two Seekers have to be to catch a Snitch in a few hours?

Competitions that last all day are only a few.

Albert put away the notebook, reached out to rub the muscles on his cheek, and turned his gaze to the eagle ring on the old wooden board in the corner of the library. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and tapped the wooden board twice, and the eagle ring opened his mouth and spit out a riddle:

You are not in the past and future, now I can see you, where are you?

"In the mirror," Albert replied immediately.

"It makes sense." After Eagle Ring finished, a door opened out of thin air.

"Success!"

Albert clenched his fist excitedly, raised his wand and walked through the door. He found himself in a huge circular marble chamber, lit by blue torches.

"Eternal fire?" Albert surveyed the torches on the wall. At this moment, he suddenly had the urge to take a torch and study it.

"Where are the treasures of Ravenclaw's knowledge?" Albert murmured.

This is a windowless room, which is very empty, in line with the so-called four walls of the family.

It's not nothing, there are some quirky text symbols carved into the marble walls.

"Ancient Rune?"

Actually, the moment Albert entered this secret room, he had already noticed the ancient rune on the wall.

No way, except for the eternal fire, only the ancient rune on the walls can attract Albert's attention. He stepped towards the wall, reached out and brushed over the carving marks on the wall, and began to seriously translate the actual content of the ancient rune.

The ancient runes that Professor Broad and Professor Smith showed him were indeed copied from here.

However, in Albert's memory, the script used by wizards a thousand years ago should be ancient rune, and English, a script borrowed from Latin, was introduced to Britain later.

So...you shouldn't read the text on the wall as a translator, does it exist just to record something?

Or what secrets are hidden in the ancient rune?

It took Albert half an hour to read the ancient rune engraved on the wall in front of him, and copied it in his notebook.

The text on the wall presumably speaks of the founding of Hogwarts, similar to the documentation Albert had seen in the library.

Originally, Hogwarts was established to protect wizards from persecution.

After all, Muggles are afraid of magic, they will persecute wizards because of their fear of magic, and to make matters worse, Britain was in the horrific Viking Age a thousand years ago in the dark medieval times.

From the fact that the castle where Hogwarts is located is located on a hill beside the lake, and the exact location of the school and the school are spelled and cannot be plotted, it can be seen that the Big Four had already considered the possibility when they established Hogwarts There will be enemies attacking Hogwarts, so a series of defensive measures will be set up in the castle.

Albert has not forgotten that the armor and knight statues at Hogwarts Castle can be enchanted when necessary. This means that an army of hundreds of thousands who are not afraid of death, combined with the terrain and defensive measures of the castle, at that time, even the notorious Vikings could not capture Hogwarts Castle.

However, these long-known Hogwarts history is not what Albert wants, and the content of the Ravenclaw knowledge treasure should be more than that!

Asshole!

At least, you'll leave me some books, or something.

Did someone else preempt it?

Albert glanced at the quest "Find Ravenclaw's Treasure of Knowledge" on the quest panel, and it turned out to be unfinished.

Could it be that this is not the treasure house of Ravenclaw's knowledge?

Or is there a secret hidden in this secret room?

Albert walked around the secret room again, and there really was nothing but the rune on the walls.

Albert has made some new discoveries, however.

Something like a puzzle. As for why it is called a puzzle? That's because the rune symbols above were broken.

Albert thinks it might be a door ~IndoMTL.com~ or something, but he still can't read it, I should say he can't:

Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of mankind.

And then what?

Albert pieced together its scattered rune and read it out in ancient rune.

He felt vaguely missing something, and Albert himself couldn't tell exactly what was missing.

If this is a treasure trove of knowledge, what knowledge does it hide?

Albert couldn't understand for a while. He thought it was definitely not ancient Rune, because it was the script used in that era, and it certainly wouldn't be the history of Hogwarts on the wall. So, what is left here What about things?

That sentence: extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of mankind?

Or the eternal fire on the wall?

Albert took an eternal fire from the wall and put it in front of him to examine it carefully. This thing is somewhat similar to the shape of the Olympic flame, and it is indeed carved with some ancient rune. The difference between making a protective bracelet is actually not that big.

However, the effects of these ancient runes are surprising.

Albert knows that this may be the power of magical words.

Just, does this have anything to do with a treasure trove of knowledge?

If it's really relevant, then...what secrets are hidden in the treasure trove of knowledge?

Albert has a headache. He really doesn't understand what secrets are hidden here.

"Forget it, write this down first!" Albert put the eternal fire back, and Professor Broad and Professor Smith probably didn't find the secret in the secret room.

As for, a wizard who discovered the secret here before took away the things that were originally in this secret room?

This should be unlikely.
