Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 166 Dumbledore's Commission

The dinner ended amid the cheers of the other three colleges except Slytherin. The little snakes were all downcast. No one spoke from the beginning to the end of the meal. The entire Slytherin table was immersed in a weird atmosphere. Among them, it forms a sharp contrast with the other three tables.

In fact, the Slytherins really wanted the basilisk to last so that the school would truly be theirs.

Lost the Academy Cup and the Basilisk today, the little snakes are very unhappy.

After dinner, the little snakes went back to the common room without saying a word.

"Ryan," Snape called from the door of the Slytherin common room.

"professor?"

"Principal Dumbledore is looking for you, and the password is sizzling honey bees." After speaking, Snape walked away with a cold face.

Although Lean wondered why Dumbledore was looking for him, he still walked to the eighth floor.

When he came to the eighth floor and entered the principal's office, Li En was in a daze.

Dumbledore was wearing pajamas at this time, with a funny pointed hat on his head, and a small pompom hanging from the top of the hat.

"Oh, you know, you'll always like these cute things when you're older." Dumbledore raised his head and suddenly realized.

"Okay, let's cut the long story short, you know, it's not a good thing to disturb an elderly person's sleep."

Dumbledore's face changed, making people feel more serious.

"Please say."

Lean sat in front of Dumbledore, and he could see from Dumbledore's expression that this matter should be very important.

"Voldemort... Voldemort was parasitic on that basilisk, just like he was parasitic on Quirrell last year. But when Harry killed the basilisk this time, he still let him escape." Dumbledore looked at The little wizard in front of him had a vague tone, "So I want you to pay attention during your travels. Of course, Voldemort is most likely in the Albanian forest, where Quirrell met him before."

"This matter is a bit difficult, you can think about it."

"Professor, why don't you go there yourself?"

Lean didn't want to take on this job. Voldemort is just a remnant now, and Dumbledore used to be a matter of spells at most.

"You know, sometimes it's not good to be too famous. People will always pay attention to you wherever you go." Dumbledore shrugged, "Of course, I will pay you."

Lean looked at Dumbledore expectantly when he heard this.

Dumbledore has been the headmaster for so many years, how could he not save some good things.

"Ahem, okay, okay." Dumbledore didn't expect Lean to be so direct, "Let me look for it, it was used when I was young."

With that said, Dumbledore opened his bag and looked inside.

"Haha, found it."

Dumbledore let out a cry of surprise, and placed a sheet of metal on the table.

This metal sheet looks silver all over, but there is a hint of gold looming in it.There are countless small inscriptions engraved on the card, and Lean felt a little dizzy when he glanced at it.

"This is a general knowledge piece. That's how I named it. I don't know its original name. I found it in a ruin. You only need to wear it on your body, and you can understand any A language, at least for which I have not come across a language from which it cannot be translated."

"Of course, this is just an appetizer. Its most important function is to cover up your identity as a wizard. Perhaps it was because of the muggles' persecution of wizards before, that's why wizards developed such a thing, which can cover up the traces of your spellcasting." .”

While talking, Dumbledore laughed: "I also took risks when I was young, so I know that sometimes the Ministry of Magic is not trustworthy, so it is still necessary to cover up."

Lean nodded, and put away the tiny slice.

"Professor, I will go to the Albanian forest to check it out." Lien nodded and said.

After receiving money from others, you have to help others to do things beautifully.

"Thank you, Rian, to be honest, it's great of you to accept." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Then, Dumbledore took another fist-shaped medal and placed it on the table.

"The medal issued by the International Adventure Association, with which you can enter the country without reporting, is a little gift from my principal to the students. You also know how ineffective the officials of the Ministry of Magic are. You really want to leave When entering the customs through formal procedures, almost half of the time in a year can be wasted in waiting."

Lean picked up the medal and found that there was nothing on it except a magic spell to verify the authenticity.

"You only need to input your own magic power to complete the verification. And don't discard this medal, it will be very troublesome to reissue."

Dumbledore looked at Lean who was playing with the medal, and said.

Lien nodded, and then entered the magic power for verification on the spot.

"Okay, Lean, go back to sleep too, the old man's sleep cannot be disturbed." After finishing speaking, Dumbledore blinked at Lean.

Lean felt a chill and said, "Okay, professor, good night."

"Good night, Lean."

Lean was walking from the eighth floor to the basement when the stairs suddenly turned in one direction.

"I forgot, today is the day to adjust the position of the stairs." Rian scratched his head, he was just thinking about the sheet.

"Let me out! It's them! They let me do this, why did they only lock me up! I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"

A series of sharp voices echoed on this floor, and Li En quickly set up a magic shield in front of him.

Walking forward along the source of the sound, Lean soon came to a wooden door with only a small window for ventilation.

"Boom boom boom!"

Lean knocked on the door with his hand, and then secretly increased the output of the magic shield.

"Who is here to save me?" A surprised voice came from inside.

Lean was silent for a while, he didn't recognize the echoes just now, but now he recognized it, it was Peeves' voice.

"How did you get caught?" Lean had already guessed that Peeves was caught and put in confinement here for blowing up the school corridor, but he was still curious about how Peeves was caught.

After all, this is the ruthless man who single-handedly forced the headmaster of Hogwarts to sign a treaty with him... a ruthless ghost.

"Damn it! It's Filch, he lied to me that Dumbledore asked me to wait for him in this room, but Filch locked me here." Peeves' voice dropped visibly, "The surroundings There are also forbidden magic runes, I can't even fly here."
