It is difficult to convince others.
It is even more difficult to convince a stubborn person.
Therefore, Albert never expected that he could convince Hagrid to give up those unrealistic ideas. He said those words to him only as advice from a good friend and to see if it could trigger a new task.
Since going to Hogwarts School, the probability of triggering panel tasks has increased significantly, far more than before coming to Hogwarts, and the difficulty of completing tasks has also been reduced a lot.
Of course, Albert also knew that the so-called reduction in difficulty came more from his familiarity with the "plot" and his own gradually increasing strength.
After I graduate from school and leave Hogwarts Castle, will I still be able to gain experience quickly
Probably not!
After all, after Tom Riddle's value has been completely squeezed out, it would probably be difficult to encounter such a big boss who can provide high-quality panel tasks again.
Although Albert did have the idea of treating Voldemort as a leek, he quickly suppressed this ridiculous idea.
After all, the Dark Lord also needs to save face. If he really annoys him, his life will be difficult.
After returning to the castle, Albert went directly to the Room of Requirement, threw himself into the soft sofa, found a comfortable position, opened the task panel, checked the tasks that had been completed but not yet claimed, and once again lit a candle for the "good man" Tom, wishing him a good journey.
Move your eyes to the top of the task panel and start clearing out the tasks that can be completed.
"Millennium Ancient School: Hogwarts" is a quest that is triggered as soon as you enter the school. The current progress has reached 68% and the quest can be completed.
However, Albert planned to deal with this task after he graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The other is the "reveal" mission to uncover Lockhart's secret, which is currently at 63%.
Even with such progress, he still had to step down in person in the end and expose Lockhart's ugly face on the spot, letting everyone know that he was a liar.
Albert couldn't help but wonder if this matter had to be published in the Daily Prophet, so that the entire British wizarding community would know that Lockhart was a liar, there would be a chance to push the mission progress to 100%.
However, even if the task progress is not completely completed, you can still receive the task reward.
Lockhart has gone crazy now, and Albert has no intention of continuing to persecute him, so he directly takes the mission reward.
The experience points are only 6,300, and you can only choose one between skill points and obtaining designated skills.
Albert chose the latter, believing that Lockhart's skill panel should be able to give him some surprises.
After receiving the task, Lockhart's skill panel opened in front of Albert. The skills in it were very few, but it still brought some surprises to Albert. There was a special skill related to Lockhart's profession: deceiving the world and stealing fame.
Well, deceiving the world and stealing reputations is consistent with what Lockhart did.
Another one is literary creation.
However, this is just a common skill.
After much hesitation, Albert chose the former.
There is no way, since deceiving the world and stealing reputation is a skill that does not need to be upgraded, this kind of special skill is usually very valuable.
Albert estimated that with this skill, his lying skills would be even better.
Uh, I almost forgot, he is an honest man, how could he cheat others
I have to tell the truth.
The quality of the tasks and rewards squeezed out of Lockhart are rather average, and really cannot be compared with the big boss Tom Riddle.
So there is a reason why we say Tom is a good person.
This semester, Tom alone provided some of Albert's highest quality assignments:
"The Secret That Cannot Be Told", "Secret Digger", "Battlegrounds", "Wrong Decision", and "Tom's Fury" have all been completed, earning a total of 35,500 experience points, 4 skill points, and a special skill: Parseltongue. You can also get two designated skills from Tom.
When Tom Riddle's skill panel opened in front of him, Albert was stunned. He was far better than Lockhart.
There are eight panels in total, with at least a thousand skills, far exceeding Albert, the cheating B, which makes people dazzled.
"It would be nice if I could have more chances." Albert looked at the proficient skills on the skill panel and murmured, "Don't worry, I'll have to deal with Tom again in the future. He's a good man, and there will be opportunities."
There are actually quite a few weird skills, such as a skill called Descendant of Ancient Bloodline. You don’t have to guess that it refers to the "bloodline of Slytherin".
He was not interested in this stuff. There was already a wizard bloodline that had been upgraded to the maximum level in the panel, and later a similar special skill appeared: Descendants of Wildsmith.
Parseltongue.
Got it.
As for Horcruxes, Albert was somewhat interested. They could make him immortal, so he didn't really care whether they were dark magic or not.
However, knowledge about Horcruxes can be obtained from Hogwarts School. You can just look it up for yourself when the time comes. There is no need to waste an opportunity.
What's more, Albert prefers to use the Philosopher's Stone to prolong his life.
If you really want to live longer, you will definitely find a way to get yourself a magic stone.
As for various black magics, a lot of them can be found in Tom Riddle's skill panel, including dangerous black magic such as Fiendfyre.
However, Albert was not interested in black magic, and he actually knew all three unforgivable curses.
Although Albert did not consider himself a good person, he also knew that using black magic too much would easily make people irritable and inclined to use violence to solve problems.
This is not good!
On the third page, there is a rather ridiculous special skill: knowledgeable.
What's even more ridiculous is the skill that symbolizes Tom's genius: magical genius.
Yes, you read that right, a magic genius.
There were many other miscellaneous skills, such as the skill of creating Inferi. What finally caught Albert's attention were two special skills with "extraordinary" in them.
There's no way, the word "extraordinary" looks very noble.
Albert chose the special skill of "Extraordinary Magic" and the other one was "Extraordinary Skills".
In fact, Albert wanted to choose both extraordinary skills, but for the final mission "Tom's Fury", he chose the special skill of Magic Genius.
This fake genius finally got his wish and became a real genius.
As for other skills, I believe there will be opportunities before Voldemort is completely defeated.
As for the failure of the "Basilisk Must Die" mission, Albert didn't mind. Although the mission reward was rich, the risk of killing the Basilisk was greater than the reward. He suspected that the two magic items in the reward were made from the corpse of the Basilisk.
The basilisk has only been dead for two days and its body is still in the secret room. Albert plans to invite Potter to take a look at the secret room one day, take a few photos and collect some materials.
Albert suspected that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets contained other things besides the basilisk. Otherwise, there would be no need to build a sophisticated chamber to keep a basilisk. There must be other things hidden inside. For example, the pile of dark magic that Voldemort mastered. Even if there was nothing good underneath, it would be fine to pull out a fang and take out a few scales. Basilisks were rare creatures, and they must have a lot of valuable things on them.
