Chapter 1749: Death's Bewitchment
Having lost the Crown of Wisdom, the Ravenclaws suffered heavy losses.
Of course, the ghosts could not find the Ravenclaw tiara, which was stolen by Rowena Ravenclaw's daughter, Helena Ravenclaw, and Lady Ravenclaw never announced it, not even her three closest friends.
It wasn't until after Lady Ravenclaw's death that everyone discovered that the crown was missing.
It does not appear in Lady Ravenclaw's relics, and no one knows where it is.
There are many rumors about this, such as the crown is looking for a new owner, the rest of the Ravenclaw family does not deserve the crown, etc., these news have been discussed for thousands of years, and many people even believe that the crown is still in Hogwarts, wizards search around the Ravenclaw Tower, but do not find the crown, but find many other secrets.
Hogwarts has many secrets, and each one has a story behind it.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with the Ravenclaw crown!
In fact, the crown did leave Hogwarts, where it had been hidden in a tree hollow deep in the Great Romanian Forest.
It wasn't until a thousand years later that Voldemort found the crown from the hollow in the tree, but by that time the crown had lost all its magic and had become an ordinary object, a rusty iron ring.
If it weren't for the Ravenclaw quote engraved on it, almost no one would have thought that this hoop was the crown of wisdom.
The Crown of Wisdom lost its magic and no longer brought wisdom to people, and had no practical use, but it cannot be denied that it had a very special historical significance and commemorative value, so Voldemort made it into a Horcrux, giving it a new mission and magic.
He brought the crown of the Horcrux back to Hogwarts, where he hid in the Room of Requirement.
As everyone knows, Evan got the crown from there, and he destroyed the fragment of Voldemort's soul that he had placed inside, and under the guidance of Lady Ravenclaw, he recovered the lost magic of the crown and returned it to Lady Ravenclaw......
From this point of view, the crown did not actually leave Ms. Ravenclaw for long.
Her daughter stole it, but Evan quickly returned the crown to her with it from the future, but instead of keeping the crown, Lady Ravenclaw gave it to Evan as a reward for passing her test.
Except for Miss Ravenclaw and Aven, none of these things were known to anyone else.
The rest of the Ravenclaw family probably thought that the crown was really lost, they lost the crown, which was definitely a huge loss for the Ravenclaw family, the crown symbolized wisdom, and the loss of the crown meant that the Ravenclaw family was no longer the smartest wizarding family in the world, and this crown was also the key to the family library.
No matter what was in that library, no one could take it out anymore.
For now, it seems that this is how things should be, but it is not clear to Evan what happened in this place?
What does the loss of the crown have to do with what happened here?
"After the death of Rowena Ravenclaw, we lost the crown, and the prestige of the Ravenclaw family plummeted, and there was a lot of talk about it, but the impact of the loss of the crown was not only that, in addition to the great loss of fame, we also lost the family legacy. "All the secrets about the Death's Door are kept in the library, and we have tried many ways to open the library without a crown, and without those secrets and knowledge, the Ravenclaws are disqualified as guardians." The family declined until that day, when the door of death was opened, and the power of death descended on the land, killing everyone and imprisoning our souls here after death, never to be able to rest......"
Evan stared at the ghost, his story jumping too fast.
After the death of Rowena Ravenclaw, the Ravenclaw family lost its crown and support, and the whole family has been in decline since then, what does this have to do with the opening of the door of death? Moreover, the decline of pure-blood wizard families is an inevitable general trend, with ups and downs lasting for centuries, and many ancient and prominent pure-blood wizard families have died out in the process.
The loss of the crown, the loss of the most valuable family magical inheritance, may speed up the process, but it is inevitable.
The key is not in the crown, Evan thought for a moment and asked, "When did you say that the door of death was opened?"
"The day we died!" said Marcus, closing his eyes and seeming to sink into a painful memory, "I can't remember the exact day, but the events of that day are still vivid, countless black flies poured out of the door of death, they were the messengers of death, with the power of destruction, covering the castle and the land, the god of death killed everyone, and since then the world has lost its color and plunged into eternal darkness." ”
Black flies, messengers of calamity and death, appear in some very evil dark magic.
But the castle was covered by black flies, and Evan couldn't imagine what kind of dark magic it was, and if it weren't for Marcus's exaggerated description, maybe only the Grim Reaper could do it.
"Later, the wizards removed the door of death, but the Grim Reaper remained. Marcus continued, "It's within that building, its power is still at work, it's still watching the Ravenclaws. All the living who had ever been near the building were cursed and died tragically. For your safety, please don't go near there, master. ”
"What a sad story, Marcus!" said Aven, looking at the green light in the distance, "I'm sorry for what happened to you, and thank you for your advice, but there's something I don't quite understand. For example, who opened the door of death?"
"After the decline of the family, the situation became very bad, and without the deterrence of powerful wizards, more and more dark wizards with other intentions came to the family territory, some wanted to get the treasures of the Ravenclaw family, some wanted to get the magic books of the Ravenclaw family, and some came to the door of death. "In the process, the door of death was opened, and it was the Ravenclaws who opened the door of death......
"Did Ravenclaw open the door to death on his own?!" Evan asked.
"I don't know the exact details, but in those last days, there were many wizards in the family who thought that the power of Deathgate's power would help them become strong and help the Ravenclaws regain their family glory. "I think they must have been bewitched by death, and as time went on, more and more people thought like this, and the whole family fell into a kind of frenzy of madness." Finally, those people, the dark wizards from outside, and the wizards from within the family who had those ideas, together they opened the door of death and brought the curse of death to the Ravenclaw family......"
