"Is that why you made that bet with Katrina the first time?" Isobel looked at Albert with an increasingly weird expression, completely confused as to what the guy in front of her wanted to do.

"Ah, you actually guessed it!" Albert said, pretending to be surprised. Of course, this clumsy performance could not be hidden from Isobel's eyes.

The latter didn't say anything, but looked at Albert calmly, as if saying to him: Go on, I'm watching.

"Ahem, okay. Actually, I'm just pursuing Katrina. It's just that your sister is too stubborn, and she won't give up easily if she doesn't win once." Albert made up another random reason.

By the way, saying that he was going to chase his sister in front of other people's sisters seemed a bit... exciting. Well, Albert really wanted to see what kind of reaction Isobel would have.

Isobel's expression was very complicated. She didn't have the expected anger or other too intense emotional reactions. She just said quietly: "I don't mind if you go after Katrina. However, it's still too early now. To Katrina

It’s too early to tell!”

"Why?" Albert couldn't help but blurt out and asked.

Of course, I'm not asking why it's too early, but I'm asking that Isobel would actually agree and seem to agree with him chasing her sister. This is... too strange. At least, in Albert's eyes

, it’s really weird.

Little kids know shit about love.

If a kid of twelve or thirteen years old wanted to pursue his sister, Albert would have to beat the shit out of him.

"Because Katrina's mentality is not mature enough." Isobel looked up at Albert and answered the question head-on, "Your mentality is mature enough, but Katrina is not mature enough, which is not good for you.

Let’s talk about love now.”

"As for why I agreed?" Isobel looked at Albert. She sometimes felt that this guy's thinking was very different.

"Why?" Albert was a little curious about the reason.

"After all, you are the best student in Hogwarts school, bar none." Isobel's words directly recognized Albert's talent and ability.

In fact, he was right. Albert was indeed the most outstanding student in the entire academy. After all, no one had a cheat like him.

"Ahem, I was just joking." Albert's expression was a bit stiff, and he smiled awkwardly at the other party.

"I know, I can see it." Isobel nodded. She was not angry because of it, but found it interesting.

Since you know this, why would you still say such things? Is this a hint to me that you agree with me to pursue your sister?

Albert suddenly had a strange feeling: It turns out that his three views have not been completely assimilated with this world!

He still retains the thoughts of his generation, no wonder it sometimes makes him look a little out of place.

"But, ten galleons, you are very generous!" Isobel sighed softly and said, "Thank you for that. I haven't seen Katrina so happy for a long time."

"Knowledge is always precious, and to a certain extent, I am not at a disadvantage!" Albert raised his hand and shook his hand to record the notes on the Eagle Ring riddles. "One day I will sort out the Eagle Ring riddles I have collected.

If you write a book, you can earn not just ten galleons but a hundred galleons, and you will definitely be able to get your money back."

Isobel felt more and more that Albert's thinking was strange, but his idea was not wrong. Knowledge is valuable, and it can indeed be done, but many people don't think about it.

"Go on, I'll wait for you here. After entering the secret room later, I will tell you what I found." Isobel brought the topic back again, and pulled a chair to the side, looking at Albert quietly.

Knock on the door and answer the riddle of the eagle ring.

To be honest, the remaining riddles are not difficult, at least not for Albert. It’s like answering the questions. The faster you go, the faster you go. The more you go, the more you feel. In less than half an hour, Albert has finished answering the rest.

After he confirmed on the mission panel that he had completed "The Greedy Predator", his mood suddenly became happier. However, Albert was not in a hurry to receive the mission reward. Instead, he opened the door of the secret room and met the person who had been standing beside him for a long time.

Isobel, who was waiting, went in together.

"What secret did you discover?" Albert walked to the wall, reached out and brushed the ancient magic text on the wall, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"What about you? What did you find?" Isobel did not answer immediately, but asked aloud.

"You say it first, and then I'll say it." Albert made a gesture of please say something.

"Okay, you know Ravenclaw's Eagle Ring Riddle, right?" Isobel walked to Albert's side, stared at the ancient magic text on the wall, and said softly: "We need to answer the Eagle Ring Riddle before we can enter."

Albert raised his eyebrows, but still listened quietly to Isobel's continued words.

"Just like the first threshold outside," Isobel looked sideways at Albert and continued: "If you get the answer wrong, you have to wait for others to answer it correctly, so that you can learn knowledge. This is LaVine

Crow."

"Learn knowledge? So, do you think Ravenclaw hopes that the latecomers who enter the Chamber of Secrets will learn knowledge?" Albert immediately grasped the key, not because of the hint given by Isobel, but because Albert had also thought about it

This issue.

"Yes, you are indeed very smart. You figured it out right away. This is what I discovered." Isobel nodded and asked, "Where is your discovery?"

"Ancient magic script. Perhaps Ravenclaw hopes that we can master the correct use of ancient magic script." Albert brushed the text on the wall between his fingers and said to himself, "It is said that runes are a kind of

This kind of magical writing, however, is obviously beyond the scope of our understanding of runic writing."

There was an eerie silence in the secret room.

"Is Professor Smith really coming to Hogwarts to find Ravenclaw's secret room?" Albert once again broke the silence and raised his doubts to Isobel.

"Why do you have such an idea?" Isobel was a little surprised and looked at Albert.

"I don't know, it's just an intuition. Although Professor Smith has shown enough curiosity about Ravenclaw's secret room, but..." Albert frowned and said, "I don't think Professor Smith took the risk in Ravenclaw for this matter.

There should be other reasons for Gwartz to teach."

"You think I know something inside?"

"Yes, I think you should know a lot of things."

"You want to know?" Isobel did not deny it, but asked, she indeed knew something.

"Yeah." Albert nodded.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you. This matter is related to you anyway."

"Is it related to me?"

"It should be said that it is related to an inheritance of the Smith family, or it is not necessarily the Smith family. Anyway, it is a matter of inheritance." Isobel seemed unhappy when talking about this matter.

"I think you may have misunderstood. I am a Muggle wizard and come from a Muggle family." Albert reminded kindly.

"Muggle wizard? No, I don't think you are just a pure Muggle wizard," Isobel shook her head and denied it, and was very sure of her own judgment, "Professor Broad and Uncle Mog McDougal

Help will not be given to you just because you are a genius."

"Why do you say that..." Albert was very surprised. Although he actually thought this was a bit strange, Professor Brod obviously had the idea of ​​cultivating himself.

"Because of your situation, I have also experienced it. To a certain extent, you are the replica of me. Don't get me wrong, I mean something." Isobel's face became even more gloomy, and Albert

Talking about some childhood memories, "Since my father died, Professor Brod, Uncle Mog, and other friends of my father have taken good care of me and my family. Thanks to their help, I and I have

Katrina had a pretty good childhood."

"I have been considered a genius since I was very young." The girl's tone was slightly sarcastic as she continued, "Before I was considered a genius, they were not so enthusiastic."

"You hate them?"

"No, it's not annoying. I'm actually very grateful to them. Thanks to their help, my childhood was quite happy." Isobel shook his head and said: "Later, my situation was similar to yours now. They seemed to be

Trying your best to cultivate me is like cultivating a..."

"Heir?"

"Yes, heir." Isobel did not deny it, but nodded and continued, "At first, I didn't pay much attention to these things, I just thought it was a bit strange. Later, I looked through my father's diary..."

"As far as I know, my father and Professor Rowena Smith both had similar experiences." Isobel turned her head to prevent Albert from looking at her, "Now that you have met me again, what do you think?

Why is this?"

"My situation is similar to yours?" Albert said without hesitation: "Because I am also a genius?"

"Not only that, although you are also a genius, it is definitely not for this reason." Isobel shook his head and said: "They still have no spare capacity to help you achieve further achievements."

"So, you must have a blood connection with the Smith family?"

"I am a Muggle wizard." Albert reminded with a half-smile.

"I know, but it doesn't mean that your family must be Muggles. They may also be Squibs, or wizards living in the Muggle world. They can definitely be traced back to a certain generation and may be related to that family, otherwise you will not be selected.

.”

Damn, I guessed it right!

Albert could feel his heart beating a few beats faster.

This guy is really not simple!

"Oh!" Albert pretended that he didn't know anything, responded noncommittally, shook his head and said, "What else?"

"There is no free love in the world." Isobel reminded.

"That's true. By the way, you seem to know a lot of things?" Albert looked at Isobel again and frowned deeply, "But I don't think they will tell you these things, that is,

Say, all the things you said were conjectured by yourself, or derived from certain places, but I think the former is more likely. I won’t think about how you did it, but why did you do it?

Tell me? As you said, there is no free love in the world. Are you going to use me? Or what do you want me to do for you? "

Isobel fell into a brief silence after hearing this, seeming to be hesitating whether to let Albert know more.

Albert took advantage of this free time to glance at the new tasks. Although he had already guessed some things, what exactly was going on with this heir.

An ancient secret.
