Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 466: Simple mechanism

Albert can feel himself falling down, the cold, moist air whistling past his ears.

Above his head, the screams of Fred, George, and Lee Jordan came down the tunnel, making him feel like laughing.

Sure enough, still too young.

Although it was said that there would be a devil net as a cushion below, but Albert didn't want to plunge his head into the devil net at all, so he chanted a shock-absorbing spell, and by the way, a few people who jumped from it suddenly came in mid-air. He slammed on the brakes and stopped abruptly in the air.

The shock-absorbing spell felt amazing, Albert felt like a feather falling slowly in the air, but at a very slow rate.

"Scared me to death?" Fred said, patting his chest. "This is definitely several floors high. If it wasn't for the shock-absorbing spell, it might break his neck if he fell."

"No, under normal circumstances, we would land on those things." Albert pointed to the vines above his head and smiled comfortingly.

"What's up with those vines?" Lee Jordan frowned slightly as he looked at the wriggling vines, feeling a bad feeling.

Because the ball of light that Albert had created had completely disappeared, the vines had gathered together again.

"Guess what?" Albert said casually.

"Don't give a shit."

"This should also be an organ, which professor do you think set it up?"

"This thing actually moves?" George wanted to step back, preparing to stay further away from the creepy vines.

However, George found that his legs had been entangled by vines, and fell into the vine pile with a stagger. Those vines immediately stretched out snake-like tendrils and wrapped around George's body.

"It's amazing, isn't it?" Albert winked at George, ignoring the long vines entangling his legs.

"What the **** is this." George tried desperately to rip the vines off his body, but the more he broke free, the faster and tighter the vines became.

"Stop, I remember what this is, the Devil's Web!" Fred screamed loudly.

Lee Jordan, who was in a panic, didn't dare to move.

"Oh dear Albert, we're going to break with you, and you're standing there watching our jokes." George complained angrily.

The vines are already wrapping around his neck, making him almost breathless.

"The more you struggle, the tighter the devil's net will be." Albert reminded kindly, "Actually, this is just a very simple mechanism, as if to say hello to us: ask us if we have herbal medicine classes. Study hard."

"Damn, your jokes aren't funny at all, please hurry up, I'm almost out of breath!" George gasped, desperately trying to tear the vine off his neck.

"The Devil's Web likes darkness and dampness, and is afraid of fire and light," Fred muttered, using his wand to create flames to expel the Devil's Web.

For a few seconds, everyone could feel the vines clinging to their bodies shrinking, trying to hide from the light and warmth.

Lee Jordan set fire to the vines and tried to rescue George. The devil's net began to twist violently when it met the flames, twitching, and automatically loosening the tendrils wrapped around George's body.

"Isn't that interesting?"

The embarrassed George was finally picked up from the ground by Albert. He originally wanted to pull Albert down with him, but he failed.

"Thank you very much." George said angrily, but he also admired Albert's calmness, and Albert was not nervous from the beginning.

If Fred and Lee Jordan hadn't been infected by his calmness, maybe a few of them would have made the Devil's Web trapped alive.

"When did you find out they were Devil's Web?" Lee Jordan couldn't help asking.

"From the very beginning, I felt that speaking out might interrupt the fun of your adventure." Albert said something that made people want to hit him, "Actually, this is a test of a person's knowledge and calmness. "

"It is normal for ordinary people to be entangled in the devil's web without knowing it, and to be nervous and struggling."

"Thanks to your explanation," George grumbled sullenly.

"What do you think Dumbledore is hiding here?" Fred asked, looking at Albert. "You should be able to guess some!"

"What do you think it will be? It's not a difficult mechanism, is it?" Albert said with a smile, "Let's go and see what's more interesting ahead."

"You must know."

"It is said that Gringotts was almost stolen." Albert asked with a smile, "You want to fight it too?"

The three shook their heads in unison. They wouldn't steal what the principal was hiding.

They walked forward and down the corridor, surrounded by the sound of water droplets slowly dripping down the walls in addition to their own footsteps.

"Did you hear anything?" Lee Jordan stopped and listened.

Several other people listened quietly to the sounds around them, and indeed faintly heard what seemed to be a gentle rustling in front of them.

"Let's go, you can find out what's going on in the past."

Albert points ahead, where the lights are on.

They found that at the end of the corridor was a brightly lit room, and the sound was coming from above their heads. On the high vaulted ceiling, there are countless small birds, flapping their wings, flying around the room.

"This is... a second agency?"

"You said, if we go in directly, will these birds attack us?" George suffered from the last loss and became very careful, for fear of falling into the trap again.

"There is a door opposite, I'm afraid we need to pass through this room." Fred pointed to the thick wooden door opposite and said.

"It's possible," Lee Jordan suggested. "If they all charge at once, we'll cast a blast spell together to blow them all away."

"That's a good idea, I don't want to run right over it anyway." George didn't want to face the birds that would have sharp beaks and claws tearing at him at any time.

"Albert, what do you think?"

The three of them looked at Albert in unison, waiting for his decision whether to blow up all the birds on their heads and drive them away.

"This level may be more interesting than we thought, and those things on the top of the head are not birds." Albert pointed to the broom in the room and said, "Let's go, it should not be attacked, at least not for the time being. Yes."

"Are you sure?" Lee Jordan raised an eyebrow.

"OK."

"Okay, I'll go first." Lee Jordan took a deep breath, shielded his face with his arm, and rushed across the room quickly.

Sure enough.

"These things seem to be all keys." George also discovered the secret of Asuka, and all of them were keys that could fly.

"The door is locked."

Fred walked over, pulled the handle with Lee Jordan, and found that the wooden door remained motionless.

"Using the Araho hole to open the spell," George suggested, and put it into action, to no avail.

"Will there be an anti-Araho cave opening spell on the door?"

All three look at Albert, who is the only one here who knows how to crack the anti-Araho cave opening spell.

As a result, of course no effect.

"Or we'll use Open Sesame to tear this door down." Lee Jordan didn't forget his first day at Hogwarts.

"Better not, I don't want to be covered in bags by those flying keys above." Albert stopped Lee Jordan's crazy thoughts.

"Don't tell me, we need to find a key in these piles of keys." All four looked up at the keys flying overhead.

"Congratulations, you got the right answer, it is estimated that you need to find the right key to open the door." Albert said calmly, "It is obviously impossible for them to be just decorative items."

"But there are hundreds of keys on it!"

"You should be thankful that we have three excellent Quidditch players here." Fred couldn't help but sigh.

George has already taken the broom and is going to give the broom to the three best flying brooms, because there are only three brooms, and Lee Jordan, who is less able to fly, has no share.

Albert didn't pick up the broomstick, he was examining the lock on the door.

In the novel, Harry finds the key, seemingly because Quirrell has already used the key to open the door, causing some damage to the Keybirds, but how do they find the key?

"We're looking for a big key." Lee Jordan pretended to look at the doorknob.

"It's full of big keys." Fred couldn't help but complain.

"Does anyone know what shape the key of this lock is?" Albert asked suddenly.

"Probably... shaped like a door." George raised his hand and sketched the approximate shape of the key in the void.

"It's not easy," muttered Lee Jordan. "There should be quite a few such keys."

"Try to find a rusted door key." Albert pointed to the rusted door lock and said, "I guess the key is also very old~IndoMTL.com~ Won't you come with me? , you are better at this than we are." They each grabbed a broom, kicked their feet, and when they rose to mid-air, they looked back at Albert and asked inexplicably.

"No, I'm going to try another method." Albert shook his head and refused. He was ready to try the lockpicking tool, ready to see if he could pick the door lock in the Muggle way.

If it really doesn't work, it's not too late to go up and grab the key.

Several people rushed into the dense group of key arrays, looking for the key bird Albert mentioned, and they went up to catch the right key when they saw it.

However, the enchanted keys dodged too quickly for them to catch.

"Think about it!" Fred yelled.

"We... we make a big net to cover all the keys!" George finally came up with a good idea.

The three of them landed on the ground and started to use shape-shifting magic to create a triangular net that they captured. The three of them were in a good mood when they thought that they could put the key inside later.

As a result, before they could implement the plan, they heard a click and the door lock was actually opened.

The three turned their heads stiffly and saw Albert holding the doorknob with his hand, smiling at them and saying, "The door seems to be open, let's go in."

Speaking, he pushed the door open.

"You...how the **** did you do that?" Lee Jordan stammered.

The three of them are racking their brains trying to get hold of the key, what are they doing?

At this moment, even Fred and George were in self-doubt.

"I'm not sure if this method will work," explained Albert. "However, it seems that wizards don't pay much attention to Muggle tactics, so this loophole is left."
