Chapter 954 Fear of Death and Greed
As June 24th approached, Albert's nerves began to tighten. Unlike Potter, the savior who gradually became more confident, Albert was not really interested in the third event of the Triwizard Tournament. , it should be said that he has no interest in risking his life to explore the maze.
Even though Albert knew that he could reap a lot of benefits after dealing with the fake Moody in the third project, the benefits were often directly proportional to the benefits. To complete the tasks on the panel, he needed to risk his life to solve them. A dangerous Death Eater.
After all, everyone is equal under Avada's Kedavra Curse.
Perhaps it’s because he now has too many things that he never had in his previous life, and he has a cheating life, so Albert is afraid of losing everything he has now.
He found that he was actually more nervous than when he faced the basilisk or even other dangers a few years ago. You must know that he is well prepared now, far more than he was when he faced danger back then.
Perhaps seeking wealth and wealth through risk is no longer suitable for me, and being an old man is more suitable for me now!
Albert had laughed at himself in his heart more than once, thinking that it was really funny that he was sorted into Gryffindor. He was not a brave person.
At least, Albert never considered himself brave.
Although Albert did not show any nervousness from beginning to end, it can be seen that he was actually very anxious since he started checking his plans constantly after entering June.
Although the results of the third project are likely to go according to Albert's original plan, he is still making more careful preparations to ensure that he can escape unscathed if necessary.
Albert suddenly understood why so many people were afraid of death.
Maybe there are some things that can’t be let go!
He is not Harry Potter, the savior, and he does not have the courage to be reckless from beginning to end. He even suspects that if the name of this book was not "Harry Potter", the grave of this stubborn savior would have been long ago. Grass.
Of course, there is no point in complaining about this now.
Defeating Barty Jr. and winning the Triwizard Tournament is Albert's priority now.
Complete the third project with full concentration first, and then think about other things.
Looking at himself in the full-length mirror wearing a fire dragon suit, Albert reached out and patted his cheek and murmured: "It doesn't matter what the outcome is, I will definitely survive anyway."
After all, he had predicted that he would marry Isobel.
If you die, of course that won’t happen.
However, the third project still needs to be faced with a lot of energy.
The future seen in the crystal ball can also be changed.
There was a knock on the door, and Isobel opened the door and came in. She looked at Albert in the fire dragon suit with confusion, wondering why Albert put on this suit.
Albert didn't pay attention to Isobel's doubtful gaze, but began to move his whole body to check whether the fire dragon suit would affect his subsequent battle.
This time the opponent is not a fire dragon, but a dark wizard. He had better make sure that he is flexible enough to avoid the magic spell used by the fake Moody while taking the elixir.
As for using the powerful defense of the fire dragon suit to resist spells, that is only for ordinary wizards, not the Death Eaters who want to kill him.
Of course, Fengya Wizard Clothing Store sent back the fire dragon costume with the intention of letting this costume fulfill its final mission and share Albert's glory of winning the championship, rather than letting Albert's body be carried out of the maze wearing it. Completely reduced to a laughing stock.
As long as Albert can win the championship wearing this suit, they will redesign a brand new fire dragon suit according to his favorite style as a reward.
Albert suspected that if his story of wearing this fire dragon suit and bringing the subdued little Barty out of the maze was published in the newspapers, he would attract a lot of hatred from Voldemort.
This is not good news, it means that he has moved up a few places on Voldemort's blacklist.
“How is the house over there doing?” Albert suddenly asked.
“It’s not healed yet, I’m afraid we have to wait for a while.” Isobel looked at Albert who was moving, and asked slightly doubtfully: “What’s wrong, are you in a hurry?”
"After this semester, for safety reasons, I'm afraid we won't be able to show up again." Albert stopped moving his body and said to the red-haired girl beside him, "I'm afraid you can only use the double-sided mirror to communicate with the family at home for the time being. Got in touch.”
“It seems that you are still hiding a lot of things from me!” Isobel was not angry, but stood there waiting for her boyfriend’s explanation.
"The mysterious man is probably going to be resurrected, and I am probably the least popular type, and you are my girlfriend. Everyone knows about our relationship. For your safety, it is best for you to hide. Choice." Albert's face was full of guilt and helplessness.
"Actually, you can tell me, there is no need to keep it all in your heart. I know you have been under a lot of pressure recently." Isobel was not angry because Albert still planned to hide it from her, but just stared at him calmly. , however, this move virtually put a lot of pressure on Albert.
"Okay, I'm probably implicated." Under Isobel's gaze, Albert finally gave in. He was really under a lot of pressure recently and needed to find someone to confide his secrets to. "Someone wants to take action against Potter." , I think you should have guessed it."
"The maze of the third project is indeed a good place." Isobel quickly realized what was going on. The fact that Harry Potter became the fourth warrior was weird, and someone wanted to take action on him. Not surprising.
"I am currently the most favored winner of the championship, and I have become an obstacle in the eyes of some people." Albert said helplessly, "I have a hunch that the guy's goal is not to kill Potter, but to Take him away, as for the reason, I think it may be related to the resurrection of the mysterious man."
“They plan to attack Potter, what does this have to do with you?” Isobel asked with a smile.
It's just that the smile on the girl's face is a bit eye-catching no matter how you look at it.
"Diversion of attention." Albert hesitated for a moment. He knew that this reason was not enough to convince Isobel, so he continued: "Of course, he may also know that I helped Dumbledore make several prophecies related to mysterious people. , and Peter Pettigrew was once sent to Azkaban prison by me. He is also an accomplice of the resurrected mysterious man. New hatred is added to old hatred. It is not surprising that they want me dead."
"Of course, another reason is that the combination of Muggle wizards and geniuses has aroused the hatred of pure-bloods. I guess the Death Eaters who were hiding will want to find opportunities to kill me when they return to their masters. ." Albert's mood suddenly calmed down, "I am going to take this opportunity to deal with the Death Eater hiding in Hogwarts and minimize all risks. After all, he dares to come to me and cause trouble. Only death can keep us safe.”
“A duel to the death?”
Isobel didn't care that Albert was planning to kill a Death Eater. Although she didn't know why things turned out like this, it was obvious that it could make Albert alert and act so uneasy. Danger.
“So be it,”
“Are you confident that you can win?” Isobel asked with a frown.
"I'm more powerful than before." Albert muttered: "But you also know that dark wizards always like to throw Avada Kedavra. Although I am fully prepared, I still feel a little worried about you."
Isobel was silent for a moment, then reached out and hugged Albert: "I believe you can solve any problem, just like you were able to defeat Rowena Smith when you were in adversity. Now you have no reason to lose, and You promised to marry me next year.”
“Of course.” Albert kissed Isobel’s cheek and said seriously: “I never do anything I’m not sure about.”
"Okay, can you tell me now, what makes you willing to take such a big risk?" Isobel doesn't think Albert doesn't know the risks involved in this matter. Since he is willing to take risks, there must be bigger risks. benefit.
She knew Albert's character and every place very clearly.
Dumbledore must have paid a sufficient price.
Although there were some errors with the results, Isobel's guess was not wrong.
“I have access to Dumbledore’s knowledge.”
"Isn't Mr. Flamel's knowledge enough for you?" Isobel's expression was a little complicated. Knowledge is precious, but... life is more precious.
"This is a good deal." Albert explained: "Anyway, I am already enough to attract the hatred of pure bloodists. Most of those guys are death eaters who have not been imprisoned in Azkaban. Assholes, since it is inevitable to be murdered when the mysterious man becomes powerful, it doesn’t matter if we attract a little more hatred. As long as we stay in a safe enough place to help cheer, someone will solve the remaining troubles for us."
Isobel knew that Albert was actually doing the right thing, and now she could only support him to continue on.
"On the day of the third event of the Triwizard Tournament, my family will receive an invitation to come and watch the game. Then you can come with them and help me take care of them." Albert continued, "Waiting for the Triwizard Tournament. When it's over, I plan to send them out of the UK immediately."
“I’ll help you.”
“You’re so kind!” Albert took a deep breath.
“It’s good to know.” Isobel gently rubbed Albert’s cheek, and then kissed him gently on the forehead.
Sometimes, Albert even wanted to give up the mission and hide with Isobel to live a small life of his own, but this idea was quickly suppressed. He knew that he was well prepared and had left himself a backup plan. , will not fail easily, let alone die easily.
More importantly, he wants more experience, more skill points, more valuable knowledge, and more power. He also wants more, more...
Greed is sometimes really an original sin.
