Chapter 62 Dumbledore, thank you

Rice silently left the secret space under the fourth floor corridor and returned to the college's lounge.

Leaning on the back of his armchair, Les was lost in thought.

In Rice's opinion, most levels are suspected of being leaked. If he were to design it, the lethality could easily be doubled dozens of times. For example, there would be no devil's net under the trap door, but a sharpened one instead. Pointed wooden stakes, and then plant some hallucinogenic magical plants on the inner wall of the passage; those hundreds of flying keys will attack people when they see them, and the keys that can open the door will not be mixed in at all. It is carried by the level designer; the same goes for the giant wizard chess pieces. You can play whatever chess you want and start fighting when you see the intruder. Why do you have to negotiate the rules with a thief?

Rice just thought of a few improvement ideas, and he could increase the difficulty of guarding the mysterious item by several levels. He didn't believe that Professor Dumbledore would not think of it.

Combined with the empty room at the end of the level, the answer is ready to come out.

Dumbledore did not hide that item in the secret room under the fourth floor corridor at all. He probably took that treasure with him. And those levels that look like puzzle games are more like Dumbledore’s tests for children. If Dumbledore really thinks these fancy checkpoints can stop intruders, then Rice will have to seriously consider whether he's suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

A test for the children...a test for the children!

Les's thoughts suddenly paused on this word.

If you go by this conjecture, the levels in the secret space are very reasonable. And if you think about it carefully, this secret space is indeed well designed, with moderate difficulty and guaranteed safety. It is very suitable for children to play.

Dumbledore may have other purposes. After all, it is very time-consuming and laborious to build such a space. Rice thinks that it is most likely used to catch "fish".

'Which child did Dumbledore want to cultivate after spending so much effort? ' As soon as the idea came to mind, Les had the answer.

The Boy-Who-Lived, the savior of the wizarding world, the rising star of Gryffindor House, who else is more suitable than him?

Rice puts himself into Dumbledore's perspective, and then gradually clears away the fog surrounding the truth bit by bit.

Dumbledore first made the people with evil intentions believe that he had hidden a treasure in the school, and then designed a bunch of small puzzle levels for the treasure - the difficulty level was just right for a first-year wizard. As for the three-headed dog at the door, its purpose is to block the villain from the door and prevent him from seeing the mechanism under the trap door prematurely, so that Dumbledore's little development game will not be able to continue.

As for the villain with ulterior motives, it is most likely Mr. Quirrell.

Les felt that with his current state and the frequency of contact with Quirrell, he could detect something was wrong with Quirrell. Could Dumbledore really not feel it if he and Quirrell sat at the same table for dinner every day?

Rice didn't believe him when he said he was kept in the dark.

Dumbledore's next script may be to guide Harry step by step to discover what he has hidden in the school, discover Quirrell's conspiracy, and then let Quirrell break through the three-headed dog's defense line when necessary, and officially launch an attack on Harry. Trial.

As for security issues, Dumbledore probably has already made arrangements.

The information collected on hand gave Rice an outline of Dumbledore's plan.

After seeing all this, Les couldn't help but sigh: You still know how to play! An old guy like him is really stiff-minded.

"How come I didn't see you in the restaurant just now?" Les sighed. When the wave behind him pushed the wave forward, Daphne appeared in front of him with a small bag of food.

"Something happened." Looking at Daphne sitting opposite him, Les narrowed his eyes.

"what's up?"

"Secret."

"Oh, then let me eat this finger puff."

"Eh?!"

After the two chatted and fooled around for a while, Les gradually began to steer the conversation in the direction he expected.

"Tell me, what is hidden behind the corridor on the fourth floor?"

"I don't know, it should be something dangerous."

"I know~"

A trace of curiosity flashed in Daphne's eyes, "So you just went on an adventure? You didn't even call me!"

I've gone on many adventures without you, and not all adventures are suitable for children.

Les smiled: "Yes, that's true. Since you know what I just did, can I-"

"What a beautiful idea!" Daphne quickly brought the lightning puffs in front of her, "First tell me what's inside?"

Les described the three-headed dog and Daphne he saw behind the door.

"Behind the door is a very rare three-headed dog!" Les said as if showing off.

Three-headed dog... Daphne silently chewed the news brought by Rice, and then frowned: Why did Dumbledore and the school professors keep a three-headed dog in the corridor on the fourth floor of the school?

Thinking along this line of thinking, Daphne came to a conclusion: Professor Dumbledore hid something in the corridor on the fourth floor and found a three-headed dog to guard it.

Her curiosity was piqued.

"Only three-headed dogs?"

"I didn't pay attention. I just satisfied my curiosity and left." Les said something that was very consistent with his character in Daphne's mind.

"Hey, wait, the three-headed dog is a very dangerous magical animal, you-" Daphne thought of something, but she closed her mouth mid-sentence. In her opinion, even if there is a fire dragon behind the door, a wizard like Les can escape unscathed.

"This is it." Les showed Daphne the bottle of calming potion. "Just one puff will make even a three-headed dog fall asleep."

Daphne looked at the bottle of potion thoughtfully, but felt a little embarrassed to ask for it directly.

"Can, I mean, um, can this potion be used on people?"

Les glanced at her.

Daphne quickly added: "My sister often has nightmares at night. If you can use potions to help you sleep..."

Les shook his head: "The effect of this potion is too strong, and it is difficult to control the dosage for humans. If you need it, I will make a calming potion for Astoria that is suitable for her."

"Thank you." Daphne closed her mouth.

Of course her sister had the right tranquilizer, and Daphne, who felt she couldn't beat the three-headed dog, just wanted to get the bottle of magic potion in Les's hand.

The girl really wanted to know what the three-headed dog was guarding. She knew what Les didn't know, so Les wouldn't underestimate her, right? In future adventures, I will definitely not be left behind.

Daphne's expression was fully visible to Les. He picked up the pumpkin juice on the table, took a big sip, and used the cup to cover the slightly raised corners of his mouth.

Dumbledore, thank you, Les expressed his heartfelt thanks to Dumbledore.
