Necromancers Guide to Magic
Chapter 92 Problems of Logic
When Benjamin walked into the next room, he turned the vampire bat into a button on his collar.
At the moment he stepped into the room, Benjamin was nervous.
After all, there have been many "surprises" for him along the way.Who knows the trap set by which professor is about to face?
The first level is obviously Professor Sprout's, and the second level is the masterpiece of Professor Flitwick.
As for the chess pieces, there is no doubt that they were all deformed by Professor McGonagall.
Who is the monster?Could it be that Professor Quirrell who is most likely Voldemort himself?
Then Professor Snape will probably be next.
Benjamin looked up and saw nothing surprising in the entire room.On the contrary, everything seems to be very common here.
There is a table in the room with seven strangely colored bottles on the table.
No one knows what shoes are in these bottles, but there is no doubt that this must be Professor Snape's handwriting.
When Benjamin took a small step forward again, a purple flame suddenly ignited behind him.
As for the front of the other door in the room, there was also a black flame burning.
Unfortunately, Benjamin was trapped between these two flames.As for how he should solve them, it was definitely not forcibly using magic to put out the fire. Benjamin turned his gaze to a piece of parchment on the table.
Benjamin read it out subconsciously while examining it carefully:
The danger is here, and the safety is behind.Two of us can help you.
Drink them, one will lead you forward, the other will send you back to where you were.The two are filled with nettle wine.Three are killers, waiting in line.Choose, unless you want to delay here forever.We also provide four clues to help you choose: First, no matter how cunning the poison is, they are in fact standing on the left side of the nettle wine; second, the contents of the bottles on the left and right sides are different.If you want to move forward, none of them will be useful to you; third, you will find that the size of the bottles are not equal.
There is no death in the giants and gnomes; fourth, second on the left and second on the right, although they look different, they taste the same.
Therefore, this is not actually a matter of magical principles. For example, the color and appearance of the medicine need to be used to distinguish its efficacy.It is a question of logical analysis.
If Benjamin was the magician who had just crossed over, then he might be trapped here, and then wait for Voldemort or Professor Quirrell to come over and kill him.
But since Benjamin started to learn Muggle knowledge step by step, yes, science, he has encountered similar problems.
In addition to the blazing thirst for knowledge, Benjamin's eyes were full of confidence.
He started making gestures on the parchment with his wand, and then began to analyze it seriously.
First of all, he understood that of the seven bottles of wine here, two bottles can be used to pass through the flames, three bottles are poison, and two bottles are ordinary nettle wine.
However, the largest bottle and the smallest bottle are undoubtedly not poisons.
As for the bottles placed at both ends, since they are useless for passing through flames, there is no doubt that one bottle is poison and the other is nettle wine.And as it said later, the poison is always to the left of the nettle wine.
Then the bottle on the far right is nettle wine.At this time, only one bottle of nettle wine and two bottles of poison remained.
However, the second on the left and the second on the right have the same taste, so they are probably two bottles of poison, or two bottles of useful flames.
Of course, the remaining two bottles are the same.
It's just that the other two bottles happened to have the smallest bottle, so Benjamin bent his mouth, and this bottle was the potion he wanted through the flames.
How much should he drink?
In theory, as long as he can drink a small sip, he can pass through the flames.
It's just that if you leave half of it, isn't it more convenient for Professor Quirrell who will follow?
Benjamin believed that with his ability, even without these potions, he could pass through the flames.But it will definitely pay no small price.
So Benjamin gave a smirk, poured the precious potion into his stomach, and passed through the black flame unharmed.
There is no doubt that when the black flame passed by Benjamin, it was warm, as if someone was breathing by your side.
"Stop! Boy! I didn't expect you to walk all the way here. I really underestimated you!"
Benjamin was so familiar with this voice, he could even smell a smell of garlic through this voice.
It's Professor Quirrell.
Benjamin originally thought he could easily get the Sorcerer's Stone before he met Professor Quirrell who hurried over.
It seems that he still underestimated Professor Quirrell's ability, and in Benjamin's view, Professor Quirrell's face was covered with sweat, because he was overworked and didn't seem to be hurt too much.
Benjamin shook his head, still a little bit disappointed.
However, he also saw another person in Professor Quirrell's hands.
That's right, isn't that Draco?It's just that Draco is now awake, although his face is very ugly.
And Draco was still winking at Benjamin, as if to tell him not to save himself.
Isn't this just a routine? He said, "You hurry up! Don't save me! I'm fine if I die, don't waste my death!"
Then what I thought was:
"Save me! What are you running! If it weren't for you, could I die! You ungrateful, unscrupulous!"
Professor Quirrell really took out his wand and placed it on Draco's head, and then smirked:
"Benjamin, if you don't want to see your friend die, you just come over obediently. Then throw your wand away. Then I will spare you two and send you home. As long as the time comes, the master You will be rewarded for success!"
Draco's body was trembling slightly because of fear, but he still closed his mouth tightly, unwilling to say the words of prayer.
Professor Quirrell had a confident face. Obviously, he already thought he had captured Benjamin's lifeline, and he certainly couldn't ignore his friends.
It is a pity that he faced Benjamin, not Harry Potter.
Benjamin gave an "Oh" and said, "Really? Then you kill him? Actually, he is Malfoy. If I'm not mistaken, his father supported your master. You killed him like that. He, it’s nothing to me, and it’s not necessarily to your master."
Benjamin shrugged, then left straight away.
