Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 620: This is called prudence!
The room was eerily silent, save for the rustling of a quill across the paper.
In front of the desk by the window, Albert was burying his head writing something, and there were a few crumpled pieces of paper at the foot of the desk.
I don't know how long he has been sitting there. The cup of black tea on the table has long been cold, but Albert picked it up without caring, took a sip, and continued to write something in the notebook seriously. The hour hand of the pocket watch placed on the wooden box has quietly slipped towards three o'clock in the afternoon.
Albert finally retracted his gaze from the notebook, put down the quill, stood up and moved his muscles, saying to himself: "I guess I'm the lowest 'conspirator' in history."
"Well, maybe not even a 'conspirator'."
Albert doesn't like to tick off words like "conspirator" or "behind the scenes". After all, he is a good man, how could a good man be some kind of "conspirator" or "behind the scenes"
However, in order to get the panel quest rewards, he can be considered to be doing his best to plan for himself.
Otherwise, in Albert's style, I prefer 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 a way of evasion, but there is nothing wrong with being able to solve the problem in the simplest way, and it is also very safe.
Anyway, Albert never thought he was the savior, nor did he think that he was courageous, and that his own life and death were at stake. Who is not afraid of death?
Okay!
Perhaps, Professor Dumbledore is not afraid of death, but Albert felt that if he could, their headmaster would not want to die.
He took his plan very seriously and read it carefully several times.
Ever since he locked Tom Riddle's diary in the little dark room, Albert has been writing follow-up plans, always making preparations, taking into account what may happen in the future, cutting and cutting , prepared many countermeasures, so that they can retreat completely after encountering danger.
Of course, if possible, it's best to stay out of the danger and let yourself get the most out of it.
Well, he's just more cautious.
Albert never considered himself lacking in Gryffindor courage.
Be aware that the vast majority of Gryffindor students don't have the courage to face the basilisk.
Albert actually had no doubts what would happen to those people when they encountered a basilisk.
It is estimated that it will be instantly killed by the eyes of the basilisk!
Actually, no matter who it is, when they don't know about the basilisk, there will be such a risk. If it wasn't for the protection of the novel's author, Albert would have no doubt that the lucky group of those who were petrified by the basilisk would have been cold. through.
Can I have such luck if I replace myself?
To be honest, Albert is not a person who likes to gamble on luck, and he doesn't think how good his luck is. The so-called magic wand can bring good luck, and it's just a talk.
He prefers to strategize, but unfortunately his talent in this area is only average, otherwise he will definitely do better.
Albert took off his flat-rimmed glasses, used his fingers to gently touch his eyebrows, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the glasses. This is the last life-saving trump card that Nicole LeMay prepared for him.
As for the protective magic on the glasses is unreliable, Albert just hoped that he didn't have the chance to try the effect of this pair of glasses.
Removing the pocket watch, he reached out to open the wooden box, put the diary in the clip above the wooden box, and looked down at the few items in the box.
The first is the detection ball used to detect dark creatures. Once the basilisk starts to move, he will receive the alarm of the detection ball at the first time, so as to seize the opportunity and take countermeasures.
Not long ago, a snake repellent made from ground realgar powder. Albert didn't expect to use it to drive away the basilisk, as long as this thing made the basilisk hesitate for a moment, it was enough to buy him a few seconds. At best, without Tom's control, the basilisk actively avoids areas of realgar powder.
Of course, if the repellent bullets don't work, Albert has prepared another big killer, the basilisk is afraid of the rooster's crowing. The house-elves have helped him raise a large group of roosters, and when Tom's diary is released from the dark room, the pokeball will become the rooster's chicken coop.
If these roosters don't come in handy, they can still be used to make chicken soup in the end. It can be regarded as one chicken and two uses. I just don't know if the house elves will eat chicken soup.
Of course, Albert's preparations don't stop there. There is also a magic stone wall for rapid transformation. As long as you throw it out, you can cooperate with transformation magic to quickly create a stone wall and completely block the corridor. The basilisk will He can't hit his head against the wall, and Albert doesn't know, if he wants to hit it, let it hit it, it's also a prop to delay time anyway.
He also dug out some worn-out armor and rusted weapons from the **** heap of the Room of Requirement to form two cannon fodder armored knights, which can move under the spell, and can actively attack the basilisk to cover their escape when necessary. Good for procrastinating.
There is also a needle with ten thousand arrows aimed at the eyes of the basilisk. After this thing is thrown, it will actively target large creatures. In other words, this is still learned from Professor Flitwick. As for whether it can stab the eyes of the basilisk, Just depends on luck.
There is also a sticky ball used to limit the movement of the basilisk. Throwing it can create a small sticky area. Unfortunately, Albert can't expand the range of the sticky swamp.
The last is the broom used to escape. If it is time to escape, he will definitely not run as fast as the basilisk, and escaping on a broom is also a good choice.
Albert, however, doesn't think he's likely to use a broomstick.
Most of the stuff in the box is for life~IndoMTL.com~ From the beginning, Albert had no intention of going head-to-head with 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-shift escape method that he can use, but Albert doesn't want to use this trick very much. The time-shifter needs to be used very carefully, otherwise God knows What will happen if you use it suddenly without preparation.
Albert couldn't rest assured despite a pile of pre-planned and escape magic items.
"It always feels like something is missing." Albert checked the items in the box again, frowning 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.
Fuling agent.
That's right, he's out of phlegm.
When it comes to one's own safety, it is natural to have a Blessing Elixir. Although the lucky potion is not omnipotent, drinking it can stimulate one's potential in a short period of time. With a series of pre-preparations, The probability of success will undoubtedly increase a lot.
Albert immediately sat back at the desk and wrote a letter to Mr. Hertok, the potion master, expressing the hope that he could buy some Flux from him at a negotiable price.
I believe that Mr. Hertoc won't pit himself for Garonne, and he's not short of money.
Albert thought about it for a while, and then wrote a letter to Bud, asking if they had a stock of Flux over there.
After he gets the Flux, he can arrange Tom to go on the road. This kind of threat has been kept, which always makes him uneasy. It is best to arrange this before Easter.
