Chapter 330 The Monster Created
“Cheers to the exam results!”
Under the beech tree by the black lake, Albert and his team, who had just finished their final exams, were clinking glasses of ice-cold butterbeer to each other to celebrate that everyone was finally out of the stuffy classroom and the shadow of the final exams.
After drinking half a glass of butter beer, most of the sultry heat in June dissipated immediately, and a breeze blew from the lake, bringing a slight sense of coolness.
“Tell me, how many years has the big squid in the black lake lived?” Fred looked at the big squid lying in the warm shallow water basking in the sun, and casually found a topic.
"Hundreds of years?"
“Ordinary animals can’t live that long!”
The three of them looked at Albert, waiting for each other's answer.
“Who knows?”
Albert was lying on the recliner created by the transformation spell, yawning lazily and saying: "The big squid must have lived for many years. I wonder if it was the pet that the four giants kept in the black lake."
"It's possible. I heard that the giant squid will not harm the students of Hogwarts. If they accidentally fall into the water when crossing the lake, it will send the students to the boat." Lee Jordan said, while gently fidgeting with the branches. Its tentacles, as a result, the tentacles of the giant squid tapped the lake water, directly splashing water all over Lee Jordan.
This scene made Fred and George laugh.
"Normal animals can't live so long." Fred didn't believe what Albert said.
“Yes, Phoenix is fine.” Albert reminded.
The three of them couldn't help but roll their eyes.
“What about Phoenix?”
"The basilisk may live a long time," Albert said mysteriously.
“Basilisk, what is that?”
"In a very old book at Hogwarts, it is recorded as follows: There are many terrible beasts and monsters wandering in our country. The most bizarre and lethal among them is the basilisk, also known as the basilisk. King Snake. This snake can grow to very large sizes and usually live for hundreds of years. It is hatched from a male egg by a toad."
"You actually recited the contents of the book." Fred looked at Albert in shock and couldn't help but muttered, "How free do you have it is!"
"Is there something wrong with what you are concerned about?" Albert was speechless.
“It was hatched from a rooster’s egg by a... toad?” George felt very strange.
"Well, the basilisk is a magical creature created by a dark wizard. It has amazing lethality. I heard that the basilisk's glare can kill people. Anyone caught by its gaze will be killed immediately." Albert deliberately widened his eyes. Eyes, "Like this."
“Can a basilisk stare people to death?” The three of them obviously didn’t believe it.
"Probably! I'm not sure either." Albert continued, "That's the information I found last time when I checked the Acromantula. The basilisk likes to eat spiders, and it is the natural enemy of the Acromantula."
“Do you think the giant squid is also a magical creature created by wizards?” Lee Jordan understood what Albert meant.
“Why do you think so?” George asked curiously.
“Acromantulas were created to protect wizards’ homes or treasures, and other monsters were often created using magic for this purpose.”
“Okay, don’t fool us.” Fred couldn’t help but rolled his eyes, as if he didn’t think we would be fooled.
“Have you not noticed that the terrain around Hogwarts Castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack?” Albert also knew that the three of them did not pay much attention to these things, so he just told them about it as a joke.
“There are also a large number of knight statues and knight armors in the castle. When necessary, the wizard can use magic to drive them and turn these things into the most loyal soldiers to resist invasion from the outside world.”
“It seems to make sense.” The three of them said casually.
"That era was called the Dark Middle Ages. Do you think it was dangerous?" Albert didn't care and continued: "The wizards of that era were probably even fewer than we are now, and there was no order. If there was a Muggle army attacking As for this castle, the number of wizards cannot stop it."
"Will Muggles attack Hogwarts?" The three of them were frightened for a moment.
"Of course, it could also be other dark creatures or evil wizards. A thousand years ago, this world was not very safe." Albert put away his dull tone and said with a smile: "However, I did not read it in the historical documents Find records of the war at Hogwarts."
“So, what you said just now are deceiving us again?”
All three of them couldn't help but rolled their eyes, knowing that they had been deceived by Albert again.
“It’s just speculation!”
“Stop talking about those useless speculations, when are we going to find Gryffindor’s secret treasure?” Fred looked around and asked in a low voice after making sure there was no one around.
“Tomorrow morning!” Albert added, “Ride over there on a broomstick.”
“Ride a broomstick?” The three of them looked at each other. Originally they thought they were going deep into the Forbidden Forest, but they didn’t expect that Albert actually planned to fly over on a broomstick.
"Otherwise? Are you still planning to break into the Forbidden Forest and fight with the Acromantula?" Albert was speechless immediately. It was too stupid to try to pass through the Forbidden Forest from the ground. He never thought of taking risks from the beginning.
“Then why have we practiced magic confrontation for so long?” Li Qiaodan couldn’t help complaining, “There are also spells to deal with the Acromantula.”
"Of course it is to ensure the safety of our own lives." Albert said his plan: "We will first ride a broom to the area guided by the secret treasure, and then slowly search for it at a lower altitude."
“We were so stupid that we were going to fly through the forest.” George felt that he and Fred were so stupid at that time. Why didn’t they think of flying over their heads?
“We didn’t have broomsticks back then!” Fred couldn’t help but protest.
“What should I do!” Lee Jordan asked quickly. Among the four, he was the only one without a broomstick.
“Let George drive you then.” Fred smiled and left this trouble to his brother. Albert would definitely not be able to spare his time and energy by then.
"Idiot, doesn't Albert still have a silver arrow?" George admired his quick wit, "Of course Lee Jordan will follow us on a broomstick."
"It won't fall suddenly," Li Jordan said worriedly: "After all, it is an old antique!"
"Probably not. Even if you fall, I will catch you as soon as possible!" Albert comforted casually.
“You don’t know how to comfort others, just shut up that stinky mouth of yours!” Lee Jordan complained, “I don’t want to experience the feeling of falling off a broom.”
