Special Reward

Should he write a letter to Professor Broad? Ever since bringing Professor Smith into Ravenclaw's Chamber, Albert had been hesitant about whether to tell Professor Broad about it.

He could sense that Professor Smith had entered Ravenclaw's Chamber not merely to obtain Ravenclaw's treasure, but for something else, or rather, Professor Smith wanted to confirm something.

Wildsmith? Very likely. The other party may have already guessed something, but not entirely sure. After entering Ravenclaw's Chamber and seeing Wild Smith on the wall, they finally found the last key to the answer.

Did I do something stupid?

No! Albert didn't think his actions were wrong. Whether he liked it or not, he had already been drawn into the controversy after becoming a candidate.

What he did in Ravenclaw's Chamber was merely to mislead Professor Smith. If he were to become an enemy, extracting as much benefit as possible from him would undoubtedly be the best option at present.

As for Professor Broad, Albert's instinct told Albert that the other party was likely a member of the Wildsmith Family and that he was being contacted probably to determine whether he met the requirements of the successor.

This feeling is awful.

"As expected, let's just flip the table!" Albert grinned maliciously, pulled out parchment and Quill from the cabinet, and began writing a letter to Professor Broad, telling him that he had been able to open Ravenclaw's Chamber Secrets and that he had informed him about the Bronze Book.

Albert thought that Ravenclaw's Bronze Book might be in Professor Broad's hands, so he decided to complete the task first and collect the reward.

As for other things...

Hmph, do whatever you want!

After bringing Professor Smith into the Chamber of Secrets, the "transaction" was complete. As Professor Smith left the Room of Requirement, he also expressed his willingness to teach him the Undetectable Extension Charm.

While it was a cause for celebration, there were also risks involved in interacting with Professor Smith, especially after confirming that the Legilimency. Albert became less confident in his Level 3 Occlumency, as he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't make eye contact with Professor Smith.

Do you want to advance another level?

Albert stared at the panel, lost in thought.

To be honest, leveling up Occlumency to level 4 should be enough to avoid being spied on by most Legilimens Master, but he would prefer to save his Skill Points to upgrade his Wizarding Bloodline.

The benefits of upgrading Wizarding Bloodline are very obvious, namely the increase in one's Magical Power. A wizard's Magical Power has an upper limit. Generally, the Magical Power will reach its peak after graduating from magic school and will not increase further.

The stronger one's Magical Power, the more powerful the magic one can use.

Most powerful Dark Magic requires Magical Power as support. The Avada Kedavra Curse is the best example. Even if a young wizard casts the Avada Kedavra Curse on someone, at most it will only cause them to bleed from the nose.

This is one of the reasons why most Pure-blood wizard are arrogant. It is undeniable that most Pure-blood wizard are indeed more Magical Power than Muggle-born wizard.

If you can raise your Wizarding Bloodline to level five, you can try Wandless Magic.

Tom is the best example. Even at a young age, he could use magic in a very rudimentary way. This is because his Magical Power was strong enough. If we were to quantify his talent, it would be at least at the fourth level.

As for Dumbledore, he should be at least at level four.

However, Dumbledore's Magical Power should be starting to decline; his current strength is more due to his wisdom, experience, and the invincible Elder Wand.

Voldemort was thoroughly defeated by Dumbledore, and there was a reason for that – Dumbledore was equipped with god-like gear.

Never mind!

Protecting one's own secrets is still quite important.

As for the Wizarding Bloodline, I'll upgrade it when I have more Skill Points!

Albert upgraded his Occlumency to level 4 using the panel, leaving him with only two Skill Points left from the missions he had accumulated.

He closed his eyes and felt the changes after the Occlumency was upgraded. Now Albert could construct false memories according to his own will.

This should be similar to the principle of the False Memory Charm! "Hmph, let you try to peek into my memories again." Albert closed his eyes, hiding the parts he considered important memories deep in his brain.

Next up is Hagrid's "Find the Pet" quest, which has already been completed. I wonder what the special gift will be; I'm actually quite looking forward to it.

Albert accepted the mission and then waited.

Just as he was about to close the panel, he suddenly noticed that a new task had appeared on the Task Panel.

The name Wildsmith.

The Wildsmith Family is known throughout the Wizarding World for selling Floo Powder, yet no one knows who the family members are. They have always been well hidden in the Wizarding World, and now you may become a member of this mysterious family and share their secrets.

Reward: Unknown.

Hmm, another mission with an unknown reward.

That said, when did this task come about?

Albert didn't even notice.

During dinner, Albert overheard Fred, George, and Lee Jordan talking about Fluffy.

However, no one knew that the monster they were talking about was Three-Headed Dog Fluffy, nor did they know that it was Hagrid's pet.

After Dumbledore returned from the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, he announced that the monsters had been driven back into the depths of the Forbidden Forest and warned everyone not to enter the woods to avoid danger.

"You went into the woods with Hagrid, didn't you?" Fred suddenly turned to Albert and couldn't help but ask, "Did you see any monsters in the woods?"

"Do you think Dumbledore would allow a student to participate in something so dangerous?" Albert casually ate the black pudding on his plate, glanced up at Fred, and said irritably.

That's right!

How could Dumbledore allow his students to take risks? However, Albert's words could only fool the others. Fred, George, and Lee Jordan did not believe him, because Albert did not answer their questions directly, which meant that he might know something.

The three of them exchanged glances, all understanding each other's meaning: they would ask each other questions back in the dorm.

Just then, an owl Accio over and dropped a package in front of Albert, nearly knocking over the jam jar.

"It looks like it was sent by Hagrid." Fred took the package first, glanced at the sender's name on it, then helped Albert open the package and handed him the box.

Albert opened the box, stared at the fluffy little drawstring bag inside, and fell silent.

"What is this?" Fred asked curiously.

"Have no idea."

"There's another note inside," George reminded him.

Albert picked up the note and glanced at its contents: Thank you for your help with Fluffy. Dumbledore has taken care of it.

This little bag is made of Transfiguration Lizard Skin, which is quite rare. No matter what you hide inside, only the owner can take it out.

This is the special reward? Not bad! It can be used to store some valuable items.

Albert stuffed the leather bag into his pocket, then gave the three of them a look, signaling them to shut up and continue eating; they would discuss this matter back in the dormitory.
