Chapter 154: Greedy predator

"What is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space, the beginning of every end?"

After the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker asked the question, it fell silent again, as if waiting for the person being asked to answer.

Albert frowned, repeated the riddle of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker to himself, and then complained, "I hate guessing riddles."

At the critical moment, Albert was blocked by a riddle, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Albert knew that he might not be able to guess the answer, at least not for the time being.

It is actually very simple to solve this level. You just need to understand all the riddles. The questions asked by the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker will inevitably be repeated.

After all, not all Ravenclaw students are smart and wise geniuses. They can answer the questions because they already know the answers from others.

Knowledge is meant to be learned.

When someone cannot answer the question raised by the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, they can only wait for others to answer it, so that they can learn the knowledge they don’t understand.

Students who are not Ravenclaw students naturally have no chance to learn the answer to passing the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker from other senior students, and naturally cannot pass this simple barrier.

Even for a genius, it is not easy to come up with the answer immediately if you have never encountered a similar riddle.

Albert never considered himself a genius, so he didn't expect to be able to answer the question about the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker right away.

Did he really have to use the Disillusionment Charm, squat at the entrance of the Ravenclaw common room, and eavesdrop on the riddle and answer on the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker

This is really ridiculous!

Even if he got some riddles and answers from Ravenclaw students, the riddles would definitely be different when he came next time.

"This is really a headache!" Albert said to himself.

He had given up on answering the bronze eagle-shaped door knocker's questions for the time being, unless it happened to ask about the phoenix and fire.

But the chances of this happening are slim.

Albert wrote down the riddle and left the Room of Requirement. Anyway, he already knew how to get in, so he could come back next time to answer the question about the bronze eagle door knocker.

After leaving the Room of Requirement, Albert went directly to the library.

"Where did you go?" Fred looked up and asked, "I heard from others that you just stepped into the library and then turned around and left."

"I suddenly remembered something." Albert sat down in the empty seat that Lee Jordan and Fred had reserved for him.

"What's that?" Fred asked again.

Albert took out his notebook and turned to the page with the riddle to show Fred.

"What?" Li Qiaodan also leaned over and was stunned after seeing the contents on the notebook.

"Riddle, can you guess the answer?" Albert asked several people.

"How free do you have?" Li Jordan retracted his head and continued to concentrate on his holiday homework. Obviously, he couldn't guess what the answer was.

George also came over curiously, but just glanced at it and then went back to do his holiday homework.

This guy always likes to study weird things.

The three of them lamented how annoying their roommates were. Instead of spending their free time thinking about the answers to the riddles, they might as well just do a few more questions.

Albert didn't expect anyone to help him solve the problem, so he began to read the riddle carefully.

"What is the beginning of eternity? What is the end of time? What is the end of space? What is the beginning of every end?"

“There should be a commonality between them.”

Albert thought carefully and wrote down the information he had analyzed on a piece of draft paper.

First of all, that thing must be eternal and related to time and space

"time?"

If time is eternal, then the moment time begins is the beginning of eternity, and the last moment of a period of time is the end of that period of time, right

Is it the beginning of every end

If time is divided into continuous periods of time, then each end is the beginning of another period of time

But... what the hell is the end of space

Could it be referring to the four-dimensional space

People have speculated that the fourth dimension refers to time.

Well, it seems to be barely adequate.

What the hell!

Albert didn't think this was the answer the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker wanted. He even doubted whether the wizard knew what the fourth-dimensional space was.

Even though wizards are far superior to Muggles in studying time.

So... this can't be the correct answer... which means...

"Maybe I'm falling into a thinking error?" Albert said, staring at the riddle.

"The answer here is not to replace something, but to refer to the commonality of eternity, time, space, and the end."

What do eternity, time, space, and the end have in common

Albert ran his fingers over the word eternity, read it softly, and then froze.

eternal

At this moment, Albert suddenly felt that he knew the answer to the riddle. The word for time is time, the word for space is place, and the word for end point is end.

So... the answer to the eagle-shaped bronze door is actually e

Common British alphabet riddles

Albert looked at the "e" on the notebook and felt that it was a more appropriate answer for the bronze eagle-shaped door knocker than the time.

"It seems that I am not that stupid. At least I guessed the answer."

"Are you deliberately mocking us?"

Hearing Albert's words, Fred couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him.

If you still call me stupid, then what are we

"Why don't you do your holiday homework?" Angelina couldn't help but ask as she took her eyes off the parchment.

"Albert is enjoying the joy of solving the riddle!" Li Jordan tilted his head and asked, "What is the answer?"

"The letter e."

"Where did you get this riddle?" Angelina glanced at the content of the riddle and muttered, "It doesn't seem to be very difficult."

"That's because you've just heard the answer. It's naturally not difficult." Li Jordan looked at Angelina speechlessly. He had just seen the riddle and didn't think about it in this regard at all.

"You don't want to challenge Ravenclaw's Eagle Ring Riddle, do you?" Alia looked at Albert suspiciously and continued, "It is said that a Ravenclaw student once challenged the Eagle Ring Riddle and answered about a hundred of them correctly."

"That's a good idea." Albert nodded and said, "I'll try it some other day when I have time."

"I'm curious about how the Ravenclaw students will react when they find out." George looked up and said, "When you go, remember to call me."

"It would be good if you could answer a few of them?"

"We have confidence in you," Fred and George said together, "We believe you are definitely smarter than the students in Ravenclaw."

I myself don't have confidence, where do you two get your confidence from

Albert glanced at the prompt on the task panel and saw a new task:
