Chapter 331 The Troll’s Lair
The next morning, after having breakfast in the auditorium, the four Alberts disappeared.
Although the second-year students have finished their exams, students in other grades are still preparing for the exams, and no one pays attention to them at all.
After the four of them determined through the Marauder's Map that Hagrid was helping to protect the Professor of Magical Biology, they used the Disguise Spell to sneak around the Quidditch pitch and into the Forbidden Forest.
Flying above the Forbidden Forest is far safer than flying directly through the Forbidden Forest.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, we will keep an eye on you from behind!" Fred looked at the slightly nervous Lee Jordan and couldn't help but joked. Lee Jordan's flying skills are really average, maybe because he hasn't flown much, and he doesn't seem to have much confidence.
“How about we change the broom?” Lee Jordan complained stubbornly: “Otherwise, just shut up.”
"Is there any problem with our direction?" Fred changed the topic and pretended not to hear what the other party was saying.
"should be no problem!"
Albert would stop every few minutes to look at the pointer on the treasure map, checking the direction of their flight. Fred and George once walked in the Forbidden Forest for several hours, but now they had traveled a long distance in less than ten minutes.
"I have a question, will we get lost later? I mean, will we not be able to figure out the specific location of Hogwarts." Lee Jordan expressed his worries.
The Forbidden Forest is too big. Even if you fly over the forest, you may fly in the wrong direction and fly to other places. It would be terrible if you get lost.
"Don't worry, I buried something in the forbidden forest outside the school, which can be used as a positioning coordinate. When the time comes, I will use tracking magic to locate the location of Hogwarts through the object."
Hogwarts Castle cannot be located, but the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade can. What's more, if it doesn't work, you can also directly apparate. Albert is not worried at all that he will get lost.
“That’s good!” Li Jordan couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"I asked how could Albert not be prepared!" Fred was very relieved, "Sure enough, having a reliable teammate is different."
As he spoke, he glanced at George. If George had been reliable last time, he wouldn't have ended up like that.
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.” George snorted dissatisfied.
"Okay, stop bickering. We are going down. The location pointed by the treasure map should be around here. Be careful later and don't fall to the ground all at once." Albert began to take the lead in lowering the height.
“I don’t know what kind of treasure there will be.”
“Don’t think too much, it’s more likely to be a scam.” Albert did not forget to vaccinate the three of them: “The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!”
“I think you should say this is true.” Fred muttered, he was a little worried about being told by Albert’s bad mouth.
This place is already deep in the Forbidden Forest. It is very dark below the forest. Several people are suspended on a big tree, observing the surrounding situation.
Albert threw several light **** downwards. It must be said that the advanced luminous spell was very convenient, and it immediately illuminated a large area nearby.
“Do you think this will attract any dangerous creatures?” Lee Jordan said a little worriedly.
"I just want to see if there are any dangerous creatures below." Albert didn't care. They observed it for five minutes and made sure there was no danger below before landing on the ground.
After landing, Albert immediately chanted a spell around him to drive away any wild beasts that might be nearby.
“You are more alert.” Fred handed the broom to Albert, took the treasure map and started looking for the location of the secret treasure.
“The direction pointed by the map is ahead.” Fred raised his hand and pointed forward.
“Do you smell anything?” George muttered.
The surrounding area stinks, which is obviously not a good sign.
"It's probably a forest monster." Albert raised his hand to signal them to stop and be wary of their surroundings. "If it's that thing, their weak point is the back of their heads."
“It stinks, I hate those guys,” Lee Jordan muttered, clearly a little too nervous.
"If you encounter a giant monster, limit their speed first and I will deal with them." Albert added, knowing that he had to give them confidence.
The four of them kept in formation and continued to move forward. They did not encounter a giant monster, but they found a place similar to a giant monster's lair. Albert actually didn't know whether the giant monster lived in a cave, but he really didn't want to go inside. He didn't even want to get close to it because it stank so much that it made him sick as if he had been thrown into a cesspool.
This is comparable to a biological and chemical weapon!
“Ugh, are those rotten eggs made from the troll’s body odor?”
The four of them decided to stay away from here first to avoid being fainted by the smell.
“Ugh, this is definitely a bad joke. Ugh~ I feel like I’m going to puke out today’s breakfast.”
Fred, George and Lee Jordan were all holding on to the tree trunk and retching.
Albert's condition was not good either. He suppressed the nausea and retched several times before suppressing the surging discomfort.
“Do you want to go in there?” he asked suddenly.
“This joke isn’t funny at all,” Fred muttered. “I think we might die from it.”
“Head-soaking spell.”
Albert opened the skill panel, looked for the skill of Bubble Head Charm, and directly upgraded it from level one to level two.
“I haven’t tried this spell much.” Albert put a cover on himself.
“What is this?” George pointed at the huge bubble around Albert’s head and couldn’t help but ask.
“Looks really funny.”
At this moment, Albert's facial features looked elongated and widened, which looked very funny.
“The head soaking spell can isolate the stench and provide us with breathing. It can last for more than half an hour.” Albert began to apply the head soaking spell to the other three people. Albert was not very skillful in using this spell.
“Half an hour is enough, hurry up!” After hesitation, Fred and the others decided to explore it.
No matter what you say, this matter can be a shock to others.
“I wish you had a camera,” muttered Lee Jordan. The four of them headed towards the nest, and Albert threw a ball of light into it. I have to say that it was a terrifying scene. There were not only the troll's domestic garbage, but also some animal bones. It was a speechless scene. They foretell that trolls live here.
“Maybe it was a bad decision,” George muttered.
“Who knows, prepare to fight.” Albert had already heard the roar of the trolls, and there might be more than one.
