Chapter 225 is worth 10 Galleons
“I feel like there’s something wrong with your answer.” Katrina next to her suddenly interjected: “‘Are you dead?’ I think if you say this to ghosts, they will answer ‘Yes, I am dead’.”
Albert was stunned and couldn't help but open his mouth. He was speechless for a moment.
Katrina is right, becoming a ghost means he is dead.
Well, he was just bound by inertial thinking. This is a magical world, and there are such things as ghosts, so what he just said can really be answered.
"You are right, I almost forgot that there is such a special existence as ghost." Albert admitted his mistake simply, and there was really no point in being stubborn.
Katrina originally thought that Albert would continue to quibble, but she never thought that he would admit his mistake so simply.
"You'd better hurry up." Isobel said to the two of them, "Maybe you can catch up with the Quidditch game later."
Today’s Quidditch match was between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. The three people who were supposed to cheer for their own team were engaged in another duel here.
“I actually hate going out to watch games on rainy days.” Albert looked at Isobel and asked, “Do you like Quidditch very much?”
"Hey, is this really appropriate to say from your mouth?" Katrina has not forgotten that Albert once defeated the Slytherin team on the court and laid the foundation for the Gryffindor team to win the Academy Cup. Guy.
“Isn’t it appropriate?” Albert asked.
“So, you are just a substitute player?” Katrina felt that Albert did not become a seeker because he was probably afraid of hardship.
Well, it is indeed like this. I heard that Quidditch training is rain or shine and is very hard.
“Let’s start!” Isobel interrupted, raising her hand and knocking on the wooden door.
The eagle's beak opened and he spoke a riddle: What animal first walked on four legs, then on two legs, and finally on three legs?
"I remember this seems to be the riddle of the Sphinx. Ravenclaw's eagle ring is quite knowledgeable." Albert couldn't help but complain.
“The answer is people.” Katrina ignored Albert’s complaints and replied immediately.
"Ravenclaw's eagle ring also has its own thoughts. Similar to the Sorting Hat, the number of riddles it knew at first was actually not very many. Now some of the riddles have been added by previous Ravenclaw deans." Yi Zebel took the candy handed over by Albert and answered his questions.
“How do you know these things?” Albert asked curiously.
"I have read some relevant records." Isobel skillfully peeled off the wrapping paper and stuffed the candy into her mouth.
“Eagle Ring, please continue to ask questions.” Katrina said.
“Do you want it too?” Albert asked as he took out the candy.
“Aren’t you afraid of tooth decay?”
"Don't be afraid, I brush my teeth twice a day." Albert said seriously, "Sugar can promote active thinking in the brain and make people think better. If you don't want to, forget it."
“Who said I don’t want it anymore.” Katrina picked out the candy she liked and was about to peel off the candy wrapper when Eagle Ring spoke again.
“Where are the people who have passed away?”
“In memory.” Albert answered first.
"That makes sense." Yinghuan replied after being silent for a few seconds.
“What’s your answer?” Albert asked Katrina.
"Did you do it on purpose? You deliberately interfered with me and took away my question. Just say it if you don't intend to let me win." Katrina looked a little angry and stared at Albert with an unfriendly expression.
“You shouldn’t disturb me,” Katrina protested angrily.
“I promise I won’t interrupt you again.” Albert promised.
Next, Albert no longer interfered with Katrina's riddle guessing. He also discovered that there were several types of riddles in the Eagle Ring. One was a philosophical question like the Phoenix and Fire, and the other was a letter-guessing type in English. , the last category is composed of riddles from various countries.
Katrina is indeed very talented at guessing riddles. Even if she encounters a riddle she has never seen before, she can still answer it after careful consideration.
Perhaps, this is the result of frequent guessing exercises!
Of course, Albert, who listened quietly, also gained a lot. Most of the riddles and answers were already memorized in his mind. The eagle ring in the Room of Requirement must no longer be able to stop him.
What surprised Albert was that the last riddle was actually about the phoenix and fire.
“A cycle with no starting point.” After Katrina answered the last question, she took a deep breath and said to Albert, “I have answered the hundredth question correctly.”
After speaking, the girl clenched her fist excitedly and announced to Albert: "I won this bet."
“Congratulations.” Albert smiled and clapped.
Actually, Katrina answered more than a hundred questions. In the process, some riddles appeared repeatedly.
“As agreed, where are the things?” Katrina reached out to Albert.
"According to the agreement, you need to give Katrina 10 Galleons." Isobel said softly.
“Oh, I almost forgot. Here are the chips for the bet.” As he spoke, Albert took out ten galleons from his pocket and put it in Katrina’s hand.
“Congratulations again, I’ll go now and see you another day.” Albert turned around and prepared to leave.
"Why don't we go to the stadium to watch the Quidditch match together?" Katrina asked, looking blankly at the Galleons in her hands and at Albert's back.
“No, I have something else to do.”
“What do you mean, why did Albert make a bet with me?” Katrina grabbed the Gallon in her hand and asked Isobel in confusion.
"Maybe, just for 100 riddles!" Isobel thought for a moment and replied, "In his eyes, a hundred riddles are worth ten galleons. Of course, if you can't answer them, you will have earned ten galleons in vain. Galleons.”
"What a weirdo!" Katrina couldn't help but muttered, "Forget it, for Galleons' sake... let's go watch the game!"
"Have you ever thought that Albert has obtained admission to the Ravenclaw common room?" Isobel said suddenly, "Although we do not exclude students from other colleges, there are actually only a few Access to our common room is limited to non-Ravenclaw students."
“He shouldn’t have any purpose!” Katrina stuffed the Galleons into her pocket and followed Isobel towards the Quidditch pitch.
Although she felt that Albert had another purpose, she just couldn't think of it. Maybe Isobel knew what the guy's purpose was.
Katrina remembered that not long ago she heard rumors that Albert was dating Isobel.
“What do you want to ask, just say it!” Isobel asked calmly, as if her mind had been read.
“Nothing?” Katrina said.
“I don’t know you yet?” Isobel said.
“Everyone is saying that you are dating?” Katrina glanced at Isobel and asked cautiously.
“Ninety-nine times of rumors are false.” Isobel did not answer this question directly.
“Oh.” Katrina responded, “Fake?”
"Rumor, we are just... friends." Isobel glanced at Katrina and said lightly, "Friends of geniuses are usually also geniuses. This is normal."
