Chapter 246 Accidental and Inevitable (Continued)(2/2)
You seem to be involved in something, which involves an ancient family. You have become a candidate for the successor inexplicably. You need to find out what is going on.
Reward: 2000 experience, favor with Isobel McDougal 10.
Albert stared at the task panel, feeling a little surprised. He didn't expect that his favorability level would actually increase?
"Tell me what you know, if you need me to do anything." Albert made a gesture of invitation to the girl.
"Actually, I don't know much about it. I only know that it is for a certain heir's quota. To be more precise, it should be a competition for a certain surname. But I don't know the specific situation because this matter is too secretive and there is almost no trace of it.
Men know these things."
"Heir, last name?" Albert raised his eyebrows. He naturally knew that he was related to the Smith family, but he didn't expect that this matter would actually fall on him.
"Does every Smith have that opportunity? Or does everyone with that pedigree have that opportunity?"
"Probably not. I feel that the quota should be selected. As far as I know, my sister Katrina was not selected." Isobel shook her head and said.
"She is so pitiful?" Albert curled his lips and asked curiously, "How can you be sure?"
"She has not had much contact with Professor Brod and Uncle Mog, nor has she been introduced to other famous wizards." Isobel continued: "Our situations are similar. Of course, it is undeniable that you are better than me in some aspects.
More genius."
"Do you care about this?" Albert asked.
"No." Isobel didn't lie. She actually didn't care much about becoming the so-called heir.
"Your father was also one of the candidates for the heir?" Albert thought of Professor Smith's Boggart and had some bad premonitions.
"Well, I think so." Isobel said in a low voice.
"Do you think I am one of them, and you are looking for allies?" Albert thought he had guessed the answer, and the possibility was very high. "By the way, what benefits can I get?"
"You should be able to inherit a large sum of Galleons." Isobel said without thinking, "Old families are usually very rich."
"Do you think I am someone who is short of Galleons? Even if I am short of Galleons, don't you think I can't earn Galleons? Why should I fight for that ridiculous inheritance right?" Albert said impatiently.
Duan said, "To be honest, I hate being involved in any family disputes. What's more, I have nothing to do with the Smith family. And, even if it is related, are you prepared to give up the inheritance rights to me?"
Isobel fell into a brief silence, and then nodded towards Albert.
"To be honest, I am quite disgusted with this matter." Isobel did not hide her disgust and continued: "My sister and mother are more important than these damn inheritance rights."
"Why don't you just give up?" Albert asked.
"Don't you think this is funny?" Isobel's expression became even weirder, "Do you expect me to tell Uncle Mog directly about this matter? What do you think he will think? Just pretend you don't know anything.
, that is the wisest choice.”
"Okay, you're right." Albert nodded and admitted this.
"But, the inheritance you are talking about has something to do with Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets?"
"I don't know." Isobel shook his head and said, "I'm still looking for a way to solve it, but I'm still blocked here. Tell me what you found!"
"Well, you think I was lying just now?" Albert asked.
"At least not completely telling the truth." Isobel said.
"Well, according to what you said before, Ravenclaw prefers people to take the initiative to learn, just like the Eagle Ring Riddle. Although some people can get the answer with their own wisdom, they are only a minority, and most people still have to learn.
." Albert's finger crossed the line on the wall that read, "Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind."
"Those who want to pass here and get the treasure from Ravenclaw's secret room need to master what Ravenclaw wants us to master in this secret room... the ancient magic text!"
"So, you didn't lie, you just hid some secrets."
"No, it's just that you didn't notice it yourself, or you noticed it but didn't want to admit it. You should have discovered when studying ancient magic script that ancient magic script is just an ancient writing." Albert reached out and brushed his face.
"I think you need to know how to really use them before you can pass the level set by Ravenclaw and enter the next level. However, when we find out that we have truly mastered it, it means that we have gained
The treasure left by Ravenclaw, this is very Ravenclaw, isn't it?"
"Knowledge is sometimes a kind of wealth." Isobel suddenly smiled, smiling happily.
"Yes, this is very Ravenclaw, and it also echoes the saying that extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind." She said softly, "Are you going to tell Professor Smith about this?"
"Why not? But I don't think he can open the hidden secret room. Maybe he can ask Principal Dumbledore for help, but what's the use? If he opens it, he will only enter the next secret room. He will still
Nothing was found." Albert curled his lips and said, "Of course, maybe in the secret room, we can find some legacy left by Ravenclaw, such as the missing crown."
"Ravenclaw's diadem? I don't think you would place your wisdom in that!"
"I'm just talking casually! In other words, Professor Smith is a bit pitiful. The treasure in the secret room that he expected turned out to be like this."
Albert shrugged his shoulders and didn't pay much attention to this matter. Is Professor Smith pitiful?
Who knows!
"You may be the next person to open the secret room." Isobel leaned against the wall and couldn't help but sigh. After all, Albert's level of ancient magic writing far exceeded theirs, and although she learned well, in fact
It’s just a beginning.
The two chatted about trivial matters for a while, and Isobel suddenly said, "It's ten o'clock. Professor Smith should be here soon."
"Is he coming here?" Albert asked, frowning.
"Yes, we made an appointment yesterday, so you can stay and study the ancient magic script." Isobel seemed to be in a good mood: "When he comes, tell him your previous guesses!
"
"okay!"
About ten minutes later, other noises were heard outside the secret room, the door was opened from the outside, and Professor Smith walked in. His eyes fell on Albert, as if he was a little surprised that he was here.
"You're here too, that's just right..." Professor Smith greeted Albert with a smile.
"Professor Smith, Isobel and I just discussed..." Albert interrupted hastily, and immediately told Professor Smith about his and Isobel's guesses.
After a long silence, Professor Smith sighed deeply and said bitterly: "What you said is very possible. This explains why this is the case here."
Maybe, I shouldn't tell him, most of the time the truth is crueler than lies.
Professor Smith took several deep breaths, suppressed his emotions, reached out and patted Albert on the shoulder and said: "You are the only one among us who can open the secret room. I hope you can work harder and wait.
After you officially turn it on, just remember to let me know. After you have paid so much, I don't want to be left in the dark in the end. That would be too cruel."
