Chapter 339： The Trials and Powers of Ravenclaw

It was a statue carved from an unknown material, and it radiated a gentle white light on the light.

The whole statue is about fifteen feet (about four meters five), not tall, even shorter than the one in the niche of the Ravenclaw common room.

However, in Sean's eyes, Royanna Ravenclaw seemed to have come to life, and the withered statue had a reassuring breath, and the light of wisdom and knowledge radiated wantonly.

Ravenclaw had a sly smile on her face, she was beautiful, intellectual, graceful, but intimidating.

But if you really look closely at her eyes, you will find the tolerance and kindness in the eyes of the Big Four.

It's like really seeing the amazing witch from thousands of years ago.

"Unbelievable..." Sean murmured in a low voice.

Then, he walked in front of the statue and saluted his chest.

This is the tribute he should have to the founder of Ravenclaw.

"However, is this Ravenclaw's secret room after all, that is, the place where her authority is hidden..." Raising his head, Sean looked around.

According to the statement given by Slytherin, the authority of Hogwarts was divided into four, and the four giants each controlled a part. They hid each other and used it as a test for the latecomers-of course, this was also their battle.

Slytherin made it clear that the authority of Ravenclaw is in the castle, and Sean has suspected the House of Requirement more than once, and now, he has finally found the original state of the House of Requirement.

So the question is, what can I do when I enter here? Also, is Ravenclaw's authority here?

Sean circled the Ravenclaw statue twice, and the runes, parchments and quills would slowly spread out to make way for him as he approached, and float back when he passed. Follow the original trajectory.

"There's nothing special about it... I thought that trying to get into the original state of the Room of Requirement would be a test for Ravenclaw..." Sean grunted.

He stopped in front of the statue and looked curiously at Ravenclaw.

This statue is very magical. Ravenclaw has always looked forward, but no matter which direction you look at, you always feel that Ravenclaw is watching yourself.

"Is there any other riddle to open the mechanism..." Sean raised his chin and thought.

After a while, he cleared his throat and said softly, "Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wisdom of mankind."

Ravenclaw's famous sayings are regarded as life creeds by Kitty Hawks.

The voice fell, and in Sean's surprised eyes, Ravenclaw's withered image trembled slightly.

The withered image was slowly rising, and the disc on the sole of her feet fluctuated.

Soon, there was a base under the statue, which was the same as the material of the statue, and the edge of the base was a water wave with a slight amplitude, and a long river carved with it coiled at the bottom.

This...represents the origin of Ravenclaw?

Beautiful Ravenclaw, from the quiet river - that's what the Sorting Hat said, because Ravenclaw was born on the river in Scotland.

In Sean's thinking, the long river spun quietly, and a gentle yet majestic female voice resounded in this space.

"You are here, my child."

Sean was surprised to find the source of the sound, but the sound seemed to be right next to his ear. The most important thing was... the sound seemed to be exactly the same as the door knocker!

The voice continued: "My name is Rowena Ravenclaw, and here is an area I created through the magic of Hogwarts itself, called Responsiveness."

"I won't go into details about the history of Hogwarts. Your presence here has proved that you know enough about this magical castle. What I want to tell you is the authority of Hogwarts."

Indeed it is!

Sean pricked up his ears and listened.

"After building the castle, the four of us..."

Ravenclaw spoke about the origins of Hogwarts' power, much as Sean had heard from Slytherin. However, the voice here is different from the memory left by Slytherin. It seems that Ravenclaw's voice was only recorded with a spell and played, and she basically did not mention some personal matters related to her.

How to say, there is very little subjectivity, just tell you the situation of the year in a straightforward manner.

"...After listening to this, you should also understand, yes, this is where I, Ravenclaw's authority resides. And Ravenclaw's treasure is only eligible for the smartest wizards, you already have it. This qualification - being able to enter here has proved your wisdom."

"Before that, I will give you a choice."

choose? Sean frowned.

Rowena Ravenclaw's multiple-choice questions, I'm afraid this is still part of the test, right?

"Choose, tell me your answer, this is the reward a wise man deserves..."

award?

As the sound fell, the light surrounding the Ravenclaw statue trembled slightly, and the bright stars on the ceiling were shaken down.

Starlight first circled the Ravenclaw statue, then wrapped around Sean.

An indescribable sense of clarity emerged from Sean's mind.

He felt that his head suddenly relaxed, and the confusion about some magic spells accumulated in his mind was also solved, and new ideas kept coming up.

Unfortunately, the starlight only wrapped for a while, and then gathered in front of the statue, forming a column of words from top to bottom.

The refreshing effect alone is worth the trip, I have several ideas for creating my own spells now... Sean looked at the stars leaving with some regret, thinking if it could last a little longer. It will be fine.

However, regret is regret, choice is still to be made, Sean looked at those words.

Beauty, spirit, magic, hope, words, imagination, energy…

Thirty or so words.

Ravenclaw's voice sounded again: "Make your choice, boy, this is the reward the wise man deserves."

It seems that this is for me to choose a trait, and Ravenclaw will give the corresponding type of reward... Sean pondered.

Beautiful? I'm handsome enough... but, according to Ravenclaw's character, maybe she'll give me a spell to keep me young or something?

Spirit? There may be some way to enhance the spiritual power of the wizard, after all, high spiritual power can support more thinking and learning process.

magic? It may be a crude way to increase my magic power, or it may be a way to teach me how to manipulate my magic power more accurately.

hope? Probably a buff spell that enhances the wizard's mental state? Or something like the Patronus Charm.

Words, imagination, energy...

The long list of words gave Sean a toothache.

Predictably, what Ravenclaw gave would definitely not be bad, or rather, what she gave might be the stock in the Room of Requirement—just the kind of stock that normal visitors couldn't find.

Of course, Sean also has to face a dilemma, that is, there is no doubt about Ravenclaw's talented mother, but after all, so many years have passed...

What if the selected reward is something that you have already learned or obtained?

For example, [Peek], Sean suspects that if he chose this word, Ravenclaw will give himself a set of learning methods for Legilimency - this is indeed a rare and difficult magic to learn. The problem is that he has Slytherin. The Legilimency notes are all...

Other options may also face the same situation.

At this time, Ravenclaw's voice urged again.

"Make your choice, boy, this is the reward the wise man deserves."

Does she want me to analyze the deeper meaning of the words, or just let me pick the one that suits me?

Probably because he has dealt with Dumbledore and Grindelwald a lot. Sean now looks at everyone like a riddleman. He also knows that it is easy to complicate things, but he is even more afraid of choosing what he already has. lead to blood loss.

"Can I have all of them?" Sean asked with a glimmer of hope.

There was no other response, and Ravenclaw's voice was still urging evenly and rhythmically.

"Ugh…"

It took Sean quite a while, except for the constant urging sound, nothing else changed.

He scratched his head regretfully, and finally sighed silently.

He still couldn't make a choice, just like the starlight who helped him clarify his thoughts and inspire his thoughts just now, it could only last for a short while.

Always have regrets.

Ravenclaw's voice urged again.

After finishing speaking, Sean sighed silently, and he made up his mind.

just choose...

Before he could speak or make any movement, the statue suddenly moved.

The hands that were originally crossed at the waist spread out like a living person.

Ravenclaw made a hug.

"A greedy comer, countless treasures are in front of you, you ignore my request and don't make the choice you should..."

Sean took a half step back cautiously, his wand raised.

It's not that bad, it's not that bad, it's only an hour, you urge me once a minute and I'm not angry, can't you understand the difficulty of choosing?

Although I do get a little greedy...

Just as Sean tightened his body, Ravenclaw suddenly let out a satisfied sigh.

"so good…"

Sean: "…Huh?"

Ravenclaw was still talking: "I was thinking while I left this, who would have found this place with extraordinary ingenuity? The shrewd and ambitious Slytherin, the brave and bold Gryffindor, the loyal and righteous Hufflepuff, or, from my house, a wise but insatiable Ravenclaw."

"You have proved your greed, and greed is an essential change in our pursuit of higher and richer knowledge. The thirst for knowledge is what Ravenclaw should do."

"I'm very happy, even if I left this sound like water - but I must tell anyone who hears this sound, I am sure, you are a qualified Ravenclaw."

"You greedy seeker, this is what you deserve and what you deserve..."

Those starlights dissipated in front of Sean's eyes, and in front of the statue, a circular platform gradually rose up.

It was a brand with complicated and obscure symbols engraved on it, and in the center was a giant eagle soaring into the sky.

"Standing on the brand, casting your own magic in the way of rune, blending with the magic of the brand, you will completely gain Ravenclaw's approval, and you will completely gain a quarter of the power of Hogwarts. "

It's really a test, not a reward for you to choose... Sean was stunned.

No, maybe after you choose a trait, Ravenclaw will indeed give you a corresponding reward, but you won't see this brand of authority.

Sean smiled unconsciously, and it seemed that Ravenclaw had planned all this.

The first is the starlight package, which gives you the sweetness and makes you feel regretful. Then there are a lot of choices plus the one-minute urging. If someone really comes here, it is likely that they will choose one after a long time.

Then he missed the mark.

Indeed, only wizards with Ravenclaw traits will stand here all the time - the eagles are hungry for knowledge, and they are greedy enough.

This is Ravenclaw's little trick, and she hopes that the people who get this authority are students of her own college.

Sean didn't know if it was a mistake or if he really met Ravenclaw's requirements, but the brand representing a quarter of Hogwarts' authority had truly appeared in front of him.

only…

Sean's eyes twitched twice.

To use ancient runes to unleash magic...

This is equivalent to having a huge treasure box in front of him, and even told himself the password, but—my presbyopia can't see the numbers on it, so I can't enter the password...

"Merlin is on top..." Sean sighed deeply.

He tried to stand on it and cast a little magic, then quickly backed away.

During this period of time, Sean has been looking for Selma to help him learn ancient runes, and the results can only be said...it's easy to make people cry. UU reading

Except for the time when the old man's sigh had cooled down, it was very effective.

He wants to blend with the magic power of this brand, but with his current rune attainment, it is not enough.

He could not hold a quarter of the power of Hogwarts for the time being.

"Damn..." Sean couldn't help but scolded.

When the old man's sigh has cooled down again, he may have a chance to try again here, but don't think about it now...

However, just as he was depressed, Ravenclaw's voice rang again.

"If you are in trouble, go to my crown, it will help you. Besides, you have received my recognition, and I will open some permissions to you, and then wait for your return - Ravenk, wise What Law is best at is solving problems, isn't he?"

The voice fell, and a comet streaked on the ceiling broke away from the ceiling and drilled straight into Sean's body.

"This is..." Sean raised his hand in surprise.

As his mind flowed, the originally translucent door by the wall disappeared directly.

It's like... I can go in and out of all the spaces in the Room of Requirement and flip through the stuff here...
