Chapter 565 A burst of analysis is as fierce as a tiger (2)
A few minutes later, Albert appeared near the hunting lodge. Hagrid, who was pouring the food from the pot into Tooth's bowl, heard approaching footsteps and looked up in the direction of the sound. He smiled and followed Albert said hello and invited him in for tea.
“Hagrid, do you know what happened in the castle last night?” Albert asked straight to the point.
"What's the matter?" Hagrid picked up the big teapot, poured a cup of amber tea for Albert, and brought a large plate of rock biscuits baked by himself and placed it in front of Albert.
"Filch's cat was petrified?" Albert raised his head and carefully observed the change of expression on Hagrid's face.
“Who did it?” Hagrid asked, raising his eyebrows.
"The heir of Slytherin." Albert put down his teacup and stared at Hagrid and said, "That guy is still on the wall: the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Those who are enemies of the heir, beware."
Hagrid was stunned when he heard this, and the expression on his face became a little complicated, as if he was recalling some unpleasant past events.
"Hagrid, how much do you know about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?" Albert picked up the teacup and took a sip, staring at Hagrid with sharp eyes, and reminded: "Don't deny it in a hurry, your expression tells me, You know this."
Hagrid was silent. He picked up a piece of rock biscuit absentmindedly, threw it into his mouth and chewed it. He didn't seem to want to talk about it.
"The heir of Slytherin will release the monsters in the secret room to attack the Muggle wizards in the school." Seeing that Hagrid was unwilling to speak, Albert said to himself: "Filch's cat was just killed by Slytherin's cat." A victim used by the heir to announce his return. Next, other Muggle wizards will definitely be attacked, and I will probably be next."
Actually, Albert was not lying, because last night, he found that there were two more panel tasks with rich rewards on his task panel:
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
The Heir of Slytherin sees you as a target of attacks from monsters in the Chamber of Secrets that threaten your life. Survive a deadly attack.
Reward: 10,000 experience, 2 skill points.
the wrong decision making
The heir of Slytherin seems not to let you go. In this case, let him understand that targeting you is the stupidest decision he has ever made in his life. Use any method to find out the heir of Slytherin and let him fight for his. Stupidity pays.
Reward: 10,000 experience points and gain a specified skill.
A specified skill.
This is the most valuable mission reward that Albert has ever encountered. He has always wanted to earn the Special Contribution Award just for this mission reward.
This means that he can directly master the production of magic stones through this reward, or skip the cumbersome process to master Animagus... There is a very large room for operation.
"We must find out that **** Slytherin heir as soon as possible and end this farce." Albert said righteously, as if his whole body was shrouded in a layer of holy light.
"Well, about fifty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets was opened. At that time, there were many attacks on Hogwarts, and the school was almost closed because of it." Hagrid said hoarsely: "At that time, the professors were completely The entire castle was searched, but the so-called Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was still not found.”
“Hagrid, how old are you?” Albert suddenly asked.
“Sixty-four, what’s wrong?” Hagrid didn’t understand that Albert suddenly asked his age.
"I remember you were expelled from school, right?" Albert narrowed his eyes and continued to ask.
The expression on Hagrid's face became ugly, obviously realizing the reason why Albert asked his age.
"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me, and it wasn't Aragog. It didn't kill anyone, and Aragog didn't kill anyone." Hagrid was a little excited, and his tone was a little higher, "At that time, they said Aragog Ke was the so-called monster in the secret room, and he even fired me because of it.”
"Of course I know it's not you." Albert slowed down his tone, trying to calm Hagrid's excitement, "The Acromantula can't turn Filch's cat to stone."
"But, you don't know, no one wanted to believe it at that time. Only Dumbledore believed that I was innocent." Hagrid's eyes were a little red, as if he had been greatly wronged.
"Tell me what you know!" Albert comforted Hagrid while using words to induce him to tell you what happened to you. "Don't refuse Hagrid. If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, you You’ll be in trouble yourself.”
Hagrid was a little confused and obviously didn’t understand why Albert said he would be in trouble.
"That cat is just a sign. The monster in the secret room is still wandering in the castle and will definitely continue to attack the Muggle wizards in the castle." Albert looked into Hagrid's eyes and reminded: "If people look for If they don’t know the murderer, who do you think they will suspect first?”
“But, Dumbledore…”
"I know Dumbledore won't doubt you, but it's useless." Albert pointed out this point coldly, "If the attack continues, the Ministry of Magic will find a scapegoat, and you will definitely be suspected, and even Throw it into Azkaban, and then the Ministry of Magic can tell everyone else they've caught the killer."
"Don't doubt my word Hagrid, politics is such a dirty thing, even though they know it won't help, you will definitely be in trouble with them."
“How could they do this?” he murmured.
"Of course they can do this, otherwise you wouldn't have been fired back then." Albert sneered, "Although I don't know what happened back then, the general situation is actually not difficult to guess. When you, you must be You kept the Acromantula in the castle, but someone discovered it, and you let it go, right?"
“But why did you...”
"Are you so concerned about this matter?" Albert finished Hagrid's words, "Don't forget Hagrid, I am a Muggle wizard, and I have a great reputation in the school. For those who hate Muggle wizards, For the heir of Slytherin, I am the guy he hates the most. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as a thorn in his side. This has been doomed from the beginning. To be honest, if I were him, the first person to attack would be Naturally, he is looking for me, the guy he hates. At least, I will definitely be at the top of the Slytherin heir's "purification list". "
"For my safety, I must strike first." Albert said confidently. He would be so obsessed with it that he would even violate his principle of keeping a low profile at the beginning, not just for the task and experience, but because he couldn't escape from the beginning. Sometimes being too famous can cause troubles.
So, Albert plans to trigger panel tasks as much as possible, get more tasks and rewards, and then use Dumbledore’s help to completely clear out Tom Riddle’s diary.
Specify skills and he will never give up.
For Albert, over 10,000 experience points or one or two skill points are really not as important as specified skills.
"Okay." Hagrid hesitated for a moment and began to tell about the past, "It was probably when I was in the third grade. Well, that was fifty years ago, around this time, many bad things happened in Hogwarts. At that time, everyone was rumoring that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets had been reopened. Later, people died, and someone exposed me and said I was the murderer. I was regarded as a murderer by everyone and was expelled from the school."
“Who exposed you as the murderer?” Albert asked
"It seems to be called Tom." Hagrid finally said with certainty, "Tom Riddle, that's right, that's the guy."
"I see, probably because of this incident, Tom Riddle won the Special Contribution Award." Albert nodded, noticed Hagrid's puzzled gaze, and explained casually: "I am in the prize display room on the fourth floor. I’ve seen this name before.”
“Oh.” Probably because of the mention of this name, Hagrid's mood became even worse.
"What kind of person is Tom Riddle?" Albert suddenly asked: "Is he a student of Slytherin House?"
“How do you know.” Hagrid was a little curious about how Albert knew.
"Are there any other clues?" Albert continued: "Do you know of any monsters that can turn cats to stone?"
"I don't know," Hagrid shook his head, "but Aragog may know. It seems to be very afraid of the monsters in the castle, and even begged me more than once to let it leave the castle. At that time, I also asked Aragog many questions. times, but it never told me what Slytherin's monster was."
“Well, the range has been reduced a lot, and there are not many creatures that can scare the Acromantula.”
“Do you know what the monster in the secret room is?” Hagrid couldn’t help but ask.
"I don't know, but it's not difficult to check. I just need to check what natural enemies the Acromantula has, and I can probably guess what the monster in the secret room is." Albert took notes quickly, and didn't forget to take the time to ask the question. Hagrid explained.
"you are great."
Hagrid stared at Albert dumbfounded, and it took a long time to hold back such a sentence.
"Are there any clues?" Albert thought for a while and asked, "Who died at that time?".
“I don’t remember,” Hagrid tried to remember, then shook his head and said, “She seems to be a Muggle girl from Ravenclaw.”
“Where did she die?” Albert continued to ask.
“The good thing is in a bathroom,” said Hagrid. “What did you find?”
"If it is the natural enemy of the Acromantula, it means that the monster is very large. Otherwise, how could it be the natural enemy of those big spiders?" Albert pushed his gold-rimmed eyes and analyzed: "It is impossible for such a monster to be Brazenly loitering in the hallways.”
"You make sense." Hagrid nodded, feeling that Albert was very powerful. If the professors at Hogwarts at that time could have had Albert's ability, maybe he would not have been unjustly expelled.
"Hagrid, I'm going back first." Albert drank the tea in the cup and walked to the door. He turned back to Hagrid and said, "If anyone asks you about this, don't tell them, especially Harry. ·Potter, their mouths are very unreliable. Well, if you want to say something, you can go to Dumbledore and tell him about our conversation today. Although it may not have any effect, the principal will definitely think about it carefully. I think It shouldn’t be difficult for him to guess what the monster in the secret room is, I want to go to the library first.”
“You’ll catch him, right?”
"Of course, I will find that **** Slytherin heir, and help you wash away your grievances and restore your reputation." Albert nodded and said.
As he left Hagrid's hut, the mission panel was triggered again.
“It’s almost done.” Albert muttered as he looked at the new task. "However, I have to be careful this time. After I succeed, I don't know how much money I can squeeze out of that diary."
