The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 226 Where is Knowledge?
After finishing the riddle bet with Katrina, Albert did not go to the stadium to watch the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, but went directly to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.He planned to record the hundred riddles and answers proposed by Eagle Ring first, so as not to forget these things after a while.

After all, fast memory cannot last long. Unless Albert is often questioned by the eagle ring like Ravenclaw's students, it is impossible to remember the general content after a long time.

As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen.

This motto in the previous life is still very reasonable.

It took Albert a lot of time to sort out and record the hundred riddles and answers. By the time he put down his pen and stretched himself, it was past twelve noon.

Every Quidditch game, unless it ends early, a large group of people basically skip lunch until the end of the game.

As for dinner?

Quidditch matches rarely lasted into the night, how bad would two Seekers have to be before neither could catch the Snitch for a few hours?
Games that last all day are, after all, only a minority.

Albert put away the notebook, reached out and rubbed the muscles on his cheeks, and turned his gaze to the eagle ring on the old wooden board in the corner of the library.He took a deep breath, raised his hand and tapped twice on the wooden board, Eagle Ring spoke out a riddle:
You are not in the past and future, now I can see you, where are you?
"In the mirror." Albert replied immediately.

"It makes sense." After Yinghuan finished speaking, a door opened out of thin air.

"Success!"

Albert clenched his fist excitedly, raised his wand and walked through the door.He found himself in a great circular marble chamber, lit by burning blue torches.

"Eternal fire?" Albert looked at the torches on the wall.At this moment, he suddenly had the urge to take a torch down and study it.

"Where is the treasure of Ravenclaw's knowledge?" Albert murmured.

This is a secret room without windows, and the inside is very empty, which fits the so-called barren walls.

There is nothing here, some strange characters are carved on the marble walls.

"Ancient runes?"

In fact, the moment Albert entered this secret room, he had already noticed the ancient rune on the wall.

There is no way, apart from the eternal fire here, only the ancient rune on the wall can attract Albert's attention.He walked towards the wall, stretched out his hand and brushed over the engraved marks on the wall, and began to translate the actual content of the ancient runes seriously.

The ancient rune that Professor Broad and Professor Smith showed him was indeed copied from here.

However, in Albert's memory, the script used by wizards 1000 years ago should be the ancient rune. English, a script borrowed from Latin, was introduced to England later.

So... I shouldn't read the words on the wall from the perspective of translation. Does it exist just to record something?

Or is there some secret hidden in the ancient runes?
It took Albert a full half an hour to read the ancient runes carved on the wall in front of him, and to copy them in his notebook.

The writing on the wall probably talks about the establishment of Hogwarts, which is similar to the records Albert saw in the library.

Originally, Hogwarts was established to protect wizards from being persecuted.

After all, Muggles are afraid of magic, they persecute wizards for fear of magic, and worse, 1000 years ago during the Dark Middle Ages, Britain was in the horror of the Viking age.

It can be seen from the fact that the castle where Hogwarts is located is located on a hill by the lake, and the exact location of the school cannot be plotted. It can be seen that when the Big Four established Hogwarts, they had already considered that there might be enemies. To attack Hogwarts, so a series of defensive measures were set up in the castle.

Albert has not forgotten that the armor and knight statues of Hogwarts Castle can be driven by spells when necessary.This meant that an army of hundreds or thousands who were not afraid of death, combined with the castle's terrain and defensive measures, at that time, even the notorious Vikings could not capture Hogwarts Castle.

However, these long-known Hogwarts histories are not what Albert wants. There should be more than this in Ravenclaw's knowledge treasure house!
asshole!

At least, you have to leave me some books, or something.

Was it emptied by others first?

Albert glanced at the task of "Finding Ravenclaw's Treasure of Knowledge" on the task panel, but he did not complete it.

Could it be that this is not Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge?
Or is there any secret hidden in this secret room?
Albert went around the secret room again. Apart from the rune on the wall, there was really nothing else.

However, Albert made some new discoveries.

Something like a puzzle.As for why it is called a puzzle?That's because the rune symbols on it were scattered.

Albert thought it might be a door, or something else, but he still couldn't read it, it should be said that he couldn't understand:

Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of human beings.

and then?
Albert pieced together its scattered runes and read them out with ancient runes.

He felt that something was vaguely missing, and Albert himself couldn't tell what was missing.

If this is a treasure trove of knowledge, what kind of knowledge does it hide?

Albert couldn't figure it out for a while. He felt that it must not be the ancient rune, because it was the text used in that era, and it certainly could not be the history of Hogwarts on the wall. So, what is left here?

That sentence: Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of human beings?

Or the eternal fire on the walls?

Albert took down an Eternal Fire from the wall, put it in front of him, and looked it over carefully. It was somewhat similar to the Olympic torch, and it was indeed engraved with some ancient runes. The difference in rings is not really that big.

However, the effect produced by these ancient runes is quite surprising.

Albert knew that this might be the power of magic words.

Just, is this related to the treasure house of knowledge?

If it is really related, then... what secrets are hidden in the treasure house of knowledge?

Albert felt a headache, he really couldn't figure out what secrets were hidden here.

"Forget it, write this down first!" Albert put the eternal fire back. Professor Broad and Professor Smith probably didn't find the secret in the secret room.

As for, a certain wizard who discovered the secret here took away the things that were originally placed in this secret room?

This possibility should not be great.
