"I think there's something wrong with your answer." Katrina next to him suddenly interrupted and said, "'Are you dead?' I think if you ask a ghost this, they will answer 'Yes, I am dead'."
Albert was stunned and opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.
Katrina was right, becoming a ghost meant he was dead.
Well, he was just bound by habitual thinking. This is a magical world with things like ghosts, so what he said just now can really be answered.
"You're right. I almost forgot about the existence of such a special thing as ghosts." Albert admitted his mistake straightforwardly. There was no point in being stubborn.
Katrina originally thought that Albert would continue to quibble, but she never expected that he would admit his mistake so straightforwardly.
"You'd better hurry up," Isobel said to the two of them, "Maybe you can catch up to watch the Quidditch match later."
Today's Quidditch match is between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. The three people who were supposed to cheer for their own teams are now participating in another match here.
"I actually hate going out to watch games on rainy days." Albert looked at Isobel and asked, "Do you like Quidditch very much?"
"Hey, is it really appropriate for you to say something like that?" Katrina did not forget that Albert was a powerful guy who once defeated the Slytherin team on the court and laid the foundation for Gryffindor to win the house cup.
"Isn't it appropriate?" Albert asked back.
"So, you're just a substitute player?" Katrina felt that Albert didn't become a seeker probably because he was afraid of hard work.
Yes, that’s true. I heard that Quidditch training is held rain or shine and is very hard.
"Let's start!" Isobel interrupted, raising her hand and knocking on the wooden door.
The eagle opened its beak and said a riddle: What animal started out walking on four legs, then on two legs, and finally on three legs
"I remember this seems to be the riddle of the Sphinx. Ravenclaw's Eagle Ring is really knowledgeable." Albert couldn't help but complain.
"The answer is people." Katrina ignored Albert's complaints and replied immediately.
"The Eagle Ring of Ravenclaw also has its own thoughts. Similar to the Sorting Hat, the number of riddles it knew at first was actually not very large. Now some of the riddles have been supplemented by successive headmasters of Ravenclaw." Isobel took the candy handed over by Albert and answered his questions for him.
"How do you know these things?" Albert asked curiously.
"I've read some relevant records." Isobel peeled off the wrapper skillfully and put the candy into her mouth.
"Eagle Ring, please continue asking questions," Katrina said.
"Do you want some too?" Albert asked as he took out the candy.
"Aren't you afraid of tooth decay?"
"Don't worry, I brush my teeth twice a day." Albert said seriously, "Sugar can promote the brain's thinking activity and make people think better. If you don't want it, forget it."
"Who said I don't want it." Katrina picked out a candy of her favorite flavor and was about to peel off the candy wrapper when Yinghuan spoke again.
“Where are the dead?”
"In memory." Albert answered first.
"That makes sense." Yinghuan replied after a few seconds of silence.
"What's your answer?" Albert asked Katrina.
"You did this on purpose, deliberately interfering with me and snatching away my question. If you don't intend to let me win, just say it." Katrina looked a little angry and stared at Albert with a bad look.
"Well, it's my fault."
"You shouldn't interfere with me," Katrina protested angrily.
"I promise I won't interrupt you again," Albert promised.
Next, Albert stopped interfering with Katrina's riddles. He also discovered that the riddles of the Eagle Ring were divided into several types. One was philosophical questions like the Phoenix and Fire, another was the English letter guessing type, and the last type was composed of riddles from various countries.
Katrina is indeed talented in guessing riddles. Even if she encounters a riddle she has never seen before, she can still give an answer after careful thinking.
Perhaps, this is the result of frequent riddle guessing exercises!
Of course, Albert, who listened quietly, also gained a lot. Most of the riddles and answers were already memorized in his mind. Presumably, the eagle ring in the Room of Requirement could no longer stop him.
What surprised Albert was that the last riddle was about phoenix and fire.
"One loop, no .asxs." Katrina took a deep breath after answering the last question and said to Albert, "I have answered the 100th question correctly."
After saying that, the girl clenched her fist excitedly and announced to Albert: "I won this bet."
"Congratulations." Albert smiled and clapped.
In fact, Katrina answered more than a hundred questions. Some riddles appeared repeatedly in the process.
"As agreed, where is the stuff?" Katrina reached out to Albert.
"According to the agreement, you need to give Katrina 10 Galleons." Isobel said softly.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Here, the chips for the bet." As he said that, Albert took out ten Galleons from his pocket and put them in Katrina's hand.
"Congratulations again. I'll be leaving now. See you another day." Albert turned around and prepared to leave.
"Don't you want to go to the stadium to watch the Quidditch match together?" Katrina asked, staring blankly at the Galleon in her hand and at Albert's back.
"No, I have something else to do."
"Tell me, why did Albert make the bet with me?" Katrina grabbed Garlon in her hand and asked Isobel in confusion.
"Maybe, it's just for the 100 riddles!" Isobel thought for a moment and replied, "In his eyes, 100 riddles are worth 10 Galleons. Of course, if you can't answer them, you'll have earned 10 Galleons for nothing."
"What a weirdo!" Katrina couldn't help but mutter, "Forget it, for Garlon's sake... let's go watch the game!"
"Have you ever thought that Albert has obtained the admission ticket to the Ravenclaw common room?" Isobel suddenly said, "Although we do not exclude students from other colleges, in fact only a small number of non-Ravenclaw students can enter our common room."
"He can't have any purpose!" Katrina stuffed the Galleon into her pocket and followed Isobel towards the Quidditch field.
Although she felt that Albert had other purposes, she just couldn't imagine that maybe Isobel knew what that guy's purpose was.
Katrina remembered hearing rumors not long ago that Albert was dating Isobel.
"What do you want to ask? Just say it!" Isobel asked calmly, as if her thoughts were seen through.
"Nothing?" Katrina said.
"I don't know you yet?" said Isobel.
"Everyone is saying that you are dating?" Katrina glanced at Isobel and asked cautiously.
"Ninety-nine percent of rumors are false." Isobel did not answer the question directly.
"Oh." Katrina responded, "Fake?"
"Rumors, we are just... friends." Isobel glanced at Katrina and said lightly, "Friends of geniuses are usually geniuses too. This is normal."
