Chapter 261 Commissioned

After the banquet, everyone bid farewell and left.

"Thank you for your invitation, Professor Broad." Albert waited for Professor Broad to send all the guests away, and thanked each other.

"It seems that your harvest is good." Professor Broad smiled and motioned for Albert to enter the room.

"Yes."

Albert sat on the armchair opposite Professor Brod, looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Alchemy is more profound than I imagined, it is really fascinating."

"Alchemy is a profound knowledge." Professor Broad said gently: "It contains a lot of things, you should have noticed that knowledge limits your performance."

"Yes, I have noticed it." Albert was quite helpless, after all, his contact with the magic world was still very short.

"Don't worry, for most wizards, alchemy has just begun when the wizards reach adulthood, but unfortunately, it is difficult for most wizards to go further in this field." Professor Brod Shaking his head, "After leaving school, how many people can concentrate on studying magic and alchemy?"

After leaving school, many wizards have indeed improved their magical skills, but that's about it.

"Where's the Reticent Man?" Albert raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I didn't expect you to know the Reticent Man." Professor Broad was surprised.

"After receiving the warning letter last time, I checked the Ministry of Magic." Albert smiled maliciously, "Know yourself and your enemy."

"The affairs of the Department of Mysteries are strictly confidential. No one knows what they are doing." Professor Broad looked at Albert and asked, "Are you disappointed?"

"It's not a disappointment, after all, I never expected it, so what is the disappointment?" Albert's tone was very flat.

"That's good, I don't agree with you joining the Department of Mysteries." Professor Brod doesn't like the Department of Mysteries very much. Although it is the largest research institute in the British magic world, it doesn't have many substantive results. Working on some great stuff, but not very helpful to the wizarding world.

"You can simply understand it, but don't invest energy into research, it will only waste time and your talent."

Probably seeing the confusion on Albert's face, Professor Broad explained, "Dumbledore also stayed there for a short time, and with your talent and ability, you will come into contact with this field sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."

"Oh." Albert responded noncommittally. He already knew what was in the Department of Mysteries, and he was not interested in those things. After all, he is not a research maniac, and making magic props is purely for himself. .

Yes, Albert has always been a selfish person.

Selfless?

What it is?

In the outlook on life in my previous life, I kicked it to a certain corner long ago.

"I know you want to take the path of being broad and precise, but this is actually a big problem." Professor Brod had to vaccinate Albert first, "Nico is a very special case, his life is too much. It's long enough to give him enough time to learn and master a lot of things."

He continued: "Most of the wizards are like me, or like other wizards today, who are only proficient in one field. After all, human energy is limited. I hope you can understand that this will help you in the future. Go more smoothly."

"I will pay attention." Albert nodded. He was not too worried about these issues. After all, there is a panel to learn skills, and he can learn those things faster than others.

"Actually, Rowena also has good attainments in alchemy." Professor Broad sighed softly, "Later, it was abandoned because of certain things."

Albert didn't understand why Professor Broad would bring the topic up to Professor Smith. He felt that the old man in front of him seemed to have a lot to say to him, but he couldn't say it directly, so he reminded himself in a circumstantial way.

Because of that?

He felt that it was better for him to pretend that he didn't know. Some things were broken, but it was not beautiful.

"Remember those ancient runes I asked you to translate last time?" Professor Brod moved the topic elsewhere, "In Hogwarts school, there is a magical room, which is located in Hogwarts. Opposite the tapestry of Barnabas on the eighth floor of Gwartz Castle, some people call it the Room of Come and Go, or the Room of Requirement... There used to be a room designed and built by Ravenclaw, and Ravenclaw was hidden in it of...treasure."

Professor Broad told Albert the location of the Room of Requirement and how to get in. The latter just listened quietly, with an even weirder expression on his face.

"It seems that you already know those things." Professor Broad saw that Albert's face did not react much, so he guessed the reason, but he was not surprised by it, but continued: "This It is also one of the reasons why Rowena went to Hogwarts to teach, if you can unlock the secret that day, remember to tell me."

"Is there anything in it?" Albert asked curiously, "And, I think it should not be difficult to unlock the secrets there with Mr. McDougal's level of ancient runes."

"He failed." Professor Broad said.

"Failed." Albert was stunned. Mr. McDougal's rune level was much clearer than Professor Broad.

"I hope you can do one thing for me." Professor Broad ignored Albert's expression and continued.

"Professor Smith is also for this matter?" Albert asked back.

"He doesn't know, it's best not to tell him." Professor Broad sighed and said, "Rowena belongs to the kind of person with a more radical personality."

Delegation.

Bud Brod seems to need your help with something. Before that, you need to unlock the second level of Ravenclaw's treasure house of knowledge.

Reward: 3000 experience.

"Predecessor task?"

Albert glanced at the task panel, a little stunned, because the task actually showed that it had been completed.

"Do you want to receive it?"

After thinking twice, Albert decided to put it on hold.

After all, this is not a game, and, judging by Professor Broad's evaluation of Professor Smith, it doesn't seem very good.

"Very important?" Albert asked again.

"Temporary secret." Brod smiled mysteriously, "You will know when the time comes, remember not to tell others, especially Rowena."

Albert was a little puzzled, what does this mean?

Put me on guard against Professor Smith?

"I see!" Albert nodded, indicating that he would not tell others.

"By the way, before the end of the Christmas holiday, do you plan to stay here, or should I send you home?" Professor Broad mentioned another matter.

"Please ask someone to take me back." Albert thought about it, and chose to go home to spend the rest of the Christmas holiday with his relatives.

"You can borrow a few books from here and return them to me after you finish reading them." Professor Broad said again, "I'll send you back tomorrow morning."

During the rest of the Christmas holiday, Albert stayed at home. Although it was a pity that he could not use magic, he still liked the leisurely feeling, occasionally teasing Tom the fat cat, nestling on the sofa with his family, while eating , while watching TV, he likes the warm feeling of being rediscovered.

That's the taste of home.
