Chapter 151 The Treasure Land

"Good afternoon, Professor Broad."

Albert tapped on the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, and after getting permission, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door in. His eyes fell on Professor Broad who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, and he did not forget to thank him for what happened last night : "Last night, thanks to Professor Brod, thank you for saving the three of us."

"You're welcome." Professor Broad looked at Albert with a smile, "I think, even if I didn't go, you can still bring the two of them out of the Forbidden Forest!"

Albert didn't answer, he did have a way to bring the Weasley brothers out of the Forbidden Forest, but he wouldn't admit that he was capable of doing it.

After all, he is only a first-year freshman now, so it is impossible to use Apparation.

"Sit down, what do you want to drink?" Professor Broad pointed to the books on the table and said with emotion, "Mogg has already had the books printed, and his efficiency is as efficient as ever. fruits of labor!"

"You mean that Mr. McDougal has already published a book?" Albert sat across from Professor Brod, picked up the book on the table, and lightly brushed the gilded letters on it with his fingers: "Advanced Rune Research" ".

It is indeed an advanced study of magic text, and the title of the book is straightforward.

"There's a surprise on the first page!" Professor Broad winked at Albert mysteriously.

"Surprise?" Albert was a little puzzled, looked at Professor Brod suspiciously, and opened the first page of the book.

There is a sentence written on it:

Dedicated to the youngest rune master, thank him for helping me complete the preparation of advanced rune research. —Mog McDougal

Albert was stunned. Of course he knew who the rune master in this sentence was referring to, but when did he become... the rune master?

"Actually, Mogg thought about printing your name on it. However, he later felt that with your ability, you don't need to rely on him to be famous at all, and for you, it's still too early to be famous." Brod The professor closed the book, looked at Albert opposite and continued, "He gave you this book."

"I remember that "Advanced Rune Research" hasn't been finished yet, right? Oh, so it is like this." Albert turned to the last page, looked at the content, and understood what was going on, Mr. McDougal Split the book into three parts.

"After a while, this book will be sold in bookstores, and I don't think many people will buy it." Professor Brod said with a smile, "Mogg even bet me on this matter, saying that it will sell for a hundred dollars. Book."

Albert glanced at the price of the book, 5 Galleons.

In terms of the price of a book, it is not very expensive, but the question is how many people will study this thing?

I can’t even read it, let alone buy it.

Moreover, the population of British wizards is also a big problem. If it can't be translated into other languages ​​and can sell a hundred copies, Mr. McDougall is capable.

"By the way, I have something for you." Professor Broad put the glass bottle in front of Albert, "The venom of the acromantula, when I tracked your footprints, I found one that was killed by you. The acromantula collected some venom on a rare occasion."

"For me?" Albert noticed that the venom of the acromantula had been specially treated, and a freezing spell had been cast on the glass bottle.

"Yes, this is your trophy."

Speaking of this, Professor Broad was also quite emotional, "It's just that I didn't expect that there were so many acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest, and I didn't expect that they were actually defeated by you."

Actually, the bottle of venom in front of Albert was obtained from the first acromantula he knocked down. That unlucky guy was eventually killed by Albert using a bunch of spells. "

Professor Broad later discovered that there were still a bunch of acromantids in the Forbidden Forest, so he stopped collecting venom. This was related to the rush to find someone.

"Professor, can you..." Albert hesitated, but still said: "...Help me get rid of it, it's useless for me to hold this thing."

"I've already guessed that you would say that!" Professor Brod nodded in satisfaction, "This is a wise choice, the venom of the acromantula is not easy to preserve, and this liquid is very precious, so it is a good choice." The bottle... is worth about 50 galleons. Of course, it may be higher on the black market."

"Then I will trouble you!" Albert said. He knew very well that it was useless to hold this kind of thing by himself, it might as well be replaced by Garen.

One day I really need to use the venom of the giant spider, and I will have it if I go around the Forbidden Forest.

After all, acromantia farms!

"Here you are." Professor Brod handed Albert the Garen prepared in advance. In fact, it was not difficult to guess Albert's choice at the beginning.

"Thank you, Professor!" Albert thanked the other party.

"You're welcome." Professor Broad became more and more satisfied with Albert, and he continued: "There is one more thing."

"whats the matter."

"Gryffindor's secret treasure, keep that map!" Professor Broad unceremoniously exposed Albert's original lie.

The latter's expression froze, neither admitting nor denying it, but quietly listening to Professor Brod's continuation.

"Don't try to enter the Forbidden Forest rashly, it is still very dangerous for you." Professor Brod warned.

"Is there really a so-called secret treasure?" Albert asked curiously.

"It is said that the Big Four once left their own legacy at Hogwarts, which is a gift for Hogwarts students." Professor Brod talked about what he knew: "However, the so-called The secret treasure is just a legend, no one knows where the secret treasure is, and no one has found the secret treasure. Of course, if it is so easy to be known, it will not be called a secret treasure."

Albert was silent, he felt that Professor Broad might know something.

Every Defense Against the Dark Arts professor came to Hogwarts to teach with his own purpose. Could it be that Professor Brod came here to find the so-called secret treasure?

Ravenclaw's Secret Treasure?

Wait...Secrets...Treasure...Ravenclaw...House of Requirement...

It is said that the Room of Requirement was written by Ravenclaw.

Maybe, Ravenclaw's secret treasure is hidden there!

Professor Broad probably already knew it... Albert felt that he might have guessed the so-called truth.

You can try it if you have the opportunity.

"What are you thinking about?" Professor Broad interrupted Albert's thinking.

"I was thinking, where did the acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest come from? Such a number is not a joke. Could it be that someone is really raising acromantulas?" Albert said casually.

"It shouldn't be possible." Professor Broad stared at Albert and said seriously, "Don't rush to find some secret treasure."

"I cherish my life very much." Albert replied.

"By the way, I heard that you use a wand made of red cedar wood?" Professor Broad suddenly talked about Albert's wand, which made the latter a little confused.

"Yes, Mr. Ollivander said, that is a magic wand that can bring people luck." Albert usually talks about redwood wands with others, and he will tell others like this.

"That's good, the wand made of red cedar wood is quite good." Professor Broad nodded, relieved.

Of course he also knows that the so-called redwood wand that can bring good luck is purely deceitful, but the wizards who hold this kind of wand are those who are prepared, and they can usually save themselves from danger.

Albert Anderson obviously fits this point. From what happened last night, it is not difficult to see that he was able to find the two Weasleys and return safely from the Forbidden Forest, not just because of the luck brought by the redwood wand , but Albert has made a series of preparations from the beginning.
