Sherlock looked a little confused when he heard the three messages she read.

"What does it mean?"

Shilk cleaned up the playing cards on the table and left a square eight alone.

"A place in the castle, like it was said yesterday, it\'s meant for us to find it, it has no interest in these students at Hogwarts, and it has no other ideas, it just wants to find you. "

"But if it\'s just revenge, it shouldn\'t be so urgent." She said softly, with a palpable puzzlement in her voice.

Sherlock didn\'t have any ideas to explore about the straw man\'s intentions and goals. The most important thing now is to solve the problem before the matter expands and the news spreads.

This year is not like the year when the Chamber of Secrets was opened. If it finally gets to the point of closing the school, the consequences will undoubtedly be more serious.

"Number eight..." Sherlock picked up the poker card that Shilk left behind, pinched his chin and looked at it, "What could this possibly refer to? Time? Eight or eight o\'clock? Or place The eighth classroom? The eighth floor? Or the eighth tower?"

In solving puzzles, Silk has more experience than Sherlock.

"The possibility of time is very small. If it indicates the eighth or eight o\'clock, it will not be connected with the clues behind. White and a hidden room are more likely to indicate the location."

With Shilk pointing out the general direction, then they will have a goal in their investigation.

Sherlock originally had two sixth-grade classes in the morning. In order to save time, he had to ask Moody to help take it on his behalf, and because the arithmetic and divination class he taught was an elective course for third-grade students, she The workload is much easier than Sherlock\'s, and even if there is a class today, it can be temporarily transferred to another time.

They came to the first floor of the castle, started from the eighth classroom, and found a small empty classroom according to the eighth classroom they encountered after entering the castle, along the corridor.

But this room was very ordinary, it didn\'t even have a bench, and it looked like a potions classroom that was only used occasionally. Sherlock and the two checked every corner here and found nothing.

"The eighth classroom is wrong, maybe it\'s the eighth floor? But isn\'t this a bit too big? There are quite a few classrooms and offices on that whole floor. I remember Filch also found two rooms there. As a utility room."

Sherlock and Silk said with a headache as they walked up the stairs to the eighth floor.

Shilk\'s face did not show such a tangled expression as he did, and she was not too worried about this puzzle as she had become accustomed to answering prophecies.

"It is very likely to represent the eighth floor, because there are three prompts, and the number eight is only the first prompt. The wider the range it represents, the more likely it is to be the answer, because the latter two prompts can be simplified. All prophecies The results are never useless, and ignoring any of the details can often make a huge difference.”

"There are still students in class, do we want to find them from classroom to classroom?"

Silk tilted his head and looked at Sherlock with his eyes blindfolded by black ribbons.

"You\'re not good at solving puzzles?"

Sherlock touched his forehead.

"Well, I admit that I lack some patience, because I can\'t predict what will happen if the student\'s nightmare continues, after all, it used to kill without scruples."

"You don\'t have to search from classroom to classroom, but pay attention to the two messages behind, white and a hidden room."

Shilk could see that Sherlock was a little concerned and confused now. He has been teaching in this castle for the third year, and has long had feelings for Hogwarts.

So she needs to be more calm.

She looked at the decoration around the castle. As a castle that had been built in the tenth century, even after many renovations and renovations, the walls in Hogwarts were still unpainted or sprayed with paint. It is the primary color of the stone.

It\'s gray, even if the sun shines in, it will give people a unique feeling of depression when they stay in the castle.

Most of the decorative paintings hanging on the walls are oil paintings and portraits, with rich colors. There are short knights riding horses and screaming constantly, a lady holding a cat and smiling, and a sympathetic monk holding a cross. scholar.

Not only the walls but also those decorative paintings, it is difficult to find information related to white.

So the second tip "white" should be the most important.

According to Hilke\'s previous experience in decrypting the prophecy, the number eight has determined a large range, and white is obviously to determine a clear orientation within this range, and the last prompt is to directly indicate the answer itself.

"You\'ve been at Hogwarts longer than me. Do you know of any paintings or walls that are predominantly white on the eighth floor?"

With such a clear prompt, Sherlock just thought for a moment before thinking of a painting.

"There\'s a tapestry of a troll stick hitting Barnabas! That Barnabas is wearing a white tutu, and the tapestry\'s theme is white."

"where are we going!"

Soon, they came to the tapestry.

This is a very witty tapestry painting. Barnabas in a tutu seems to want to teach the troll to dance, but the troll raises the stick in his hand high and prepares to knock him on the head.

The Barnabas in the painting looked very embarrassed. When Sherlock and Silk came here, the troll holding the wooden stick turned his gaze to them, staring and bulging his nostrils.

Of course, Sherlock wasn\'t in the mood to pay attention to the troll in the portrait. He looked around the tapestry~www.novelhall.com~ ordinarily if he didn\'t pay attention, maybe he didn\'t feel anything, but now that he came here specially, he would find something wrong.

Opposite the tapestry, there is a wall that looks a little abrupt. This wall is very ordinary, and it is no different from the other walls of the castle, but its location is a bit wrong.

This is neither the end of the corridor nor the corner of the stairs, so it seems redundant to leave such a place.

Although there are many redundant places like this in Hogwarts Castle, those walls will simply hang a few movable paintings for decoration, or simply place a statue directly.

This wall was blank, with nothing on it, as if such a space was deliberately set aside.

Sherlock frowned and looked at the wall opposite the tapestry, muttering one last reminder.

"A hidden house...a hidden house..."
