Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 95 "The Selfless" Dark Lord

  In a corner of the Room of Response, Albert was standing quietly in a daze. Everyone who knew him knew that this guy looked like this when he was thinking, and even he himself admitted it.

   After all, no one can guess the truth, Albert is actually immersed in his own panel.

After regaining his senses, Albert immediately moved his gaze away from the giant monster specimen, and finally found time to come in. Naturally, it is impossible to give up exploring here. He also plans to continue searching for other interesting items, not to mention I came here to find Ravenclaw's diadem.

   However, according to the blurred memory in his mind, he only vaguely remembered that the Horcrux should be worn on the head of a plaster bust. However, that's all there is to the clues, and finding Ravenclaw's diadem is sometimes a matter of luck.

  As soon as he moved his feet, Albert was attracted by something again. Somewhere in front of him on the right side, there was a large mirror with a golden frame, and there were 2 claw-shaped brackets underneath.

  Albert walked quickly towards the big mirror, raised his wand and cast a descaling spell on the surface of the mirror, removing most of the dust on the mirror.

   "Eris...mirror," he murmured, looking at the letters on the frame.

  That's right, it should be the magic mirror, which claims to be able to reveal the most urgent and strongest desire in the heart of the person in front of the mirror.

   "What do I want most?" Albert looked curiously at himself in the mirror, and then he found himself in the mirror holding an eagle-shaped crown.

   That's... Ravenclaw's diadem.

   "Although it's true that I really want to find the crown, it shouldn't be the thing I desire the most, right?" Albert resisted the desire to complain. Originally, he thought he would see himself in the mirror embracing several beauties, or standing on a golden mountain piled up with gold coins, or at least give me a picture of stepping on Voldemort and holding the Elder Wand.

   By the way, what's the matter with holding Ravenclaw's crown, thirst for knowledge? Want to make yourself smarter?

   "Is this really what I want most? Or is it what I want most right now?"

Albert looked away in disappointment, and focused his gaze on the top frame of the magic mirror, where a line of letters was engraved: "Erisedstraehruoytubecafruoytonwohsi" (Erisedstraehruoytubecafruoytonwohsi) Cafrou, Ayteon, Voorhees).

  The name of the magic mirror comes from the first word Erised (Eris).

  As long as readers who have carefully studied the stories of Harry Potter novels know that the line of letters engraved on the frame at the top of the Mirror of Erised needs to be read upside down.

  Albert moved his gaze to the letter and read out softly: "I show not your face but your heart\'s desire", that is, "I show not your face but your desire".

"Are you eager? Don't tell me, I don't really have any desires? No, I'm not a saint, how could I have no desires?" Albert suddenly grinned, "Sure enough, the magic mirror can't reflect a bunch of illusory panel experiences And skill points!"

  Yeah, isn’t what I desire most the most is panel experience and skill points?

   Taking risks to find Voldemort's Horcruxes, isn't it all for these illusory things?

  Thinking of this, Albert suddenly wanted to laugh again, "To some extent, the Ravenclaw's crown reflected on the magic mirror is actually not wrong."

   After all, finding a Horcrux means a lot of tasks, experience and skill points.

   This is what he desires most!

After walking on the garbage trail for a while, when Albert felt that he was about to get lost in the garbage mountain, a slingshot with wings flew past him, and he was stared at by him. It fell in mid-air.

"It's really a strange thing." Albert walked over, bent down and picked up the slingshot from the ground, glanced at it, pulled it, and finally used a magic wand to turn a debris next to it into a projectile, trying the slingshot However, he quickly discovered the use of the slingshot. The projectiles shot out seemed to have been released with tracking magic, which could accurately bypass objects and hit the aimed target.

"A slingshot that has been released with magic. It's interesting. It's probably a toy from Zuko's joke shop. It's good to use to **** people." Albert muttered to himself, and soon he had a brain hole, guessing whether it would be possible. Applying this technology to bows and arrows, the archer will become a sharpshooter in minutes? If it is used in firearms, is it possible to take the head of a person from a thousand kilometers away?

  Well, this slingshot is not bad, and it is worth researching.

   Albert used a descaling spell to remove the dust on the surface of the slingshot, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it before putting it in the pocket of his robe.

After wandering around the garbage dump, Albert found an old Quidditch box in a corner. When he opened it, he found that the Quidditch props inside were all tattered, including a ball Only the part of the stick left in the hand, God knows what happened to it.

  Two Bludgers are also broken, and the only ghost ball is relatively complete, but it also looks a bit worn out.

   Albert's gaze was attracted by the golden snitch. When he picked up the rusty golden snitch, he found that it had lost a wing.

  The other wing of the Snitch can still be used, but after losing one wing, it can no longer fly normally.

  A damaged Snitch is very attractive to Albert. The craftsmanship of the Snitch is actually very high. It is said that in order to determine who will catch it first, this thing has physical memory.

  If this physical memory ability is used in the treasure house, can't you easily create your own secret treasure house?

  Dumbledore really did just that.

   By the way, why do I look like a broken piece in a garbage dump?

  This style of painting is wrong!

  Ahem, it seems inappropriate to call this place a garbage dump.

   Anyway, Voldemort's Horcruxes are hidden here, obviously the Dark Lord wouldn't hide his Horcruxes in the trash

   Sure enough, this place should be called the treasure house, yes, it is called the treasure house! Hiding thousands of years of Hogwarts objects, and he's a treasure hunter in the vault.

  No one knows what they will find in this treasure house, maybe it is worthless garbage, maybe it is an extremely precious Ravenclaw relic, maybe it is a Horcrux that will kill you.

  No matter what he finds, Albert's exploration and treasure hunting will continue. He walked into the maze with light steps, continuing to search for a bust wearing a crown.

  Perhaps, those who like to smile are not too bad luck; perhaps, Merlin's beard is blessing him; it is also possible that Voldemort's soul fragments have been unable to hold back.

  Albert stopped suddenly, held his breath, and listened carefully with his ears up. In the far distance, there were vague whispers.

  At that moment, Albert felt that his soul seemed to be trembling, and the whispers in his ears disappeared, replaced by his own heavy breathing.

  It's close, it's close, the Horcrux is nearby, it's luring itself, yes, Voldemort's Horcrux is whispering to lure himself to take the bait.

  At this moment, Albert suddenly wanted to laugh. He knew that Voldemort's Horcrux was tempting him, but why didn't it come to his door?

   It also saves me a lot of trouble to find the Horcrux!

However, it was Voldemort's Horcrux, and Albert didn't dare to be careless at all. There was a case of Chino's car overturning later on. He had to be more vigilant, and pulled out his wand from the pocket of his robe, and began to look around. Look around for the source of the whispering.

  Albert walked slowly and cautiously across the area, however, the whispers in his ears were getting closer.

   There it is, right up front, on top of that old blistered cabinet, isn't there a pockmarked bust of a wizard sitting there? The bust wears an old dusty wig on its head, and...an old faded crown.

   That is Ravenclaw's crown... Voldemort's Horcrux, I actually let myself find it.

   Albert could no longer hide the excitement on his face.

  At this moment, he could already confirm that the whispering voice in his ears came from the crown, and it was tempting himself to pick up the crown and put it on his head.

  As long as you wear the Ravenclaw crown, you can become more wise.

   Albert almost instinctively stretched out his hand to touch the crown, however, he stopped his progress and lowered his raised arm. Listening carefully to the whispers in my ears, I laughed like crazy, tears were about to drop from the laughter.

"Interesting!" Albert murmured after he stopped laughing, "If you are an ordinary student, you probably can't help but try to wear the crown. After all, no one would like to miss the experience of Ravenclaw's crown belt The increased intelligence that comes, and even the temptation of the Horcrux to take it for himself."

   "Come on, let me take a photo of you." Albert took a few steps back, raised the camera hanging around his neck, and took a photo of the wizard's bust and the old faded crown on his head.

   Then, Albert took another dozen steps back, found some more eye-catching coordinates around, and took a few photos in a row. He didn't check the new tasks that appeared on the panel until he retreated to the entrance:

   Evil Whispers.

  You hear whispers that entice you to fall, and the whispering thing is most likely a sinister dark magic item. Even though you don't know what it is, you're aware that it could be extremely dangerous and you're ready to try to figure it out.

   Reward: 10,000 experience, randomly get an unmastered magic.

   "Great." Albert stared at the mission panel and whispered, "That's a Horcrux, Voldemort's Horcrux."

  When he finished saying this sentence, the task has been automatically completed.

  Albert did not choose to complete the task, but continued to view the remaining tasks:

   Return the relic.

  You accidentally found the Ravenclaw diadem that was lost thousands of years ago. As a student of Hogwarts, you should return the Ravenclaw diadem to the school.

  Reward: 30000 experience, 3 skill points, Dumbledore's favor +10, Ms. Gray (Helena Ravenclaw) favor +30.

  The Dark Lord's Secret.

  You accidentally discovered the secret of Voldemort's immortality, you can choose to keep silent, or share this secret with others.

  Reward: 1000 experience points, +20 or -20 favorability of the target.

   Lady Gray's Remorse.

   You stumble upon the Ravenclaw's Diadem that was lost thousands of years ago, but this relic from the Big Four has been tainted by powerful black magic, purifying the diadem from the dark magic.

  Reward: 10000 experience, 2 skill points, Ms. Gray (Helena Ravenclaw) favorability +30.

   "What's the use of my favor with ghosts?" Albert couldn't help complaining, "Is it possible that Ms. Gray will grant me a wish after the favorability is full?"

   Destroy Horcruxes.

   It is everyone's responsibility to destroy the Dark Lord. Since you accidentally discovered Voldemort's weakness, then devote yourself to the great cause of fighting against the dark wizard, destroying, or assisting others in destroying Horcruxes.

  Reward: 30,000 experience, 3 skill points, +10 favorable opinion of the assisted object.

  The fall of the Dark Lord.

  You discovered Voldemort's weakness by accident. If the other party knew about it, they would never let you go. Since he may become an immortal enemy, why not take the initiative to eliminate the most evil dark wizard of this century?

  You can choose to do it yourself, or call more helpers to help you eliminate the Dark Lord.

  Current contribution is 0%

  Reward 10,000-100,000 experience, 1-10 skill points, reputation in the magic world +100-10,000, bounty 100,000 Galleons (you need to kill Voldemort yourself.)

   "It's great, it's really worthy of being the final boss, and it's such a rich reward." Albert looked at the task information on the several panels that were displayed, and couldn't help swallowing. His previous efforts were really not in vain.

   As for how to complete these tasks, isn’t there still the iron-headed savior Potter?

   Face it head-on, attract firepower, and fight against Voldemort.

  Harry in the novel has always done an excellent job. The most important thing is that the task didn't say that Albert had to do it himself. It's actually not bad to lie down and do the task.

He stretched out his hand to pat his cheek and cleaned up the expression on his face. Albert opened the door and walked out of the Room of Requirement. After looking around to make sure there was no one there, he happily walked around the castle. He even greeted Peeves with a smile on the way. Peeves looked puzzled.

   After taking a few more photos in the castle, Albert happily returned to the lounge, while Fred, George and Lee Jordan were still doing their homework.

   "Albert seems to be in a good mood." George looked at the back of Albert disappearing at the entrance of the dormitory, and suddenly said to the two people around him.

   "Maybe something good happened!" Fred said without raising his head.

   "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen him like this." George couldn't suppress his inner curiosity, got up to pack his things, and chased after Albert's back.

   "If you don't go and take a look, maybe something good has happened." Lee Jordan also packed his things and followed George back to the dormitory.

  Fred raised his head and found that his two roommates had run away. He immediately packed up the homework on the table and quickly followed the pace of the two.

  The three of them soon knew that something good happened to Albert. As for the good thing, Albert didn't tell them directly.
