Chapter 1751: Towers and Statues

Guided by the ghost, Evan walked deeper into the castle.

Marcus introduces the history of the castle to Evan as he walks, continuing the exterior decoration style, and the interior structure and decoration of Ravenclaw Castle are quite complex and luxurious.

Unlike Hogwarts Castle, which has a straightforward layout and a central staircase that connects the corridors of the floors into the foyer, Ravenclaw Castle is a labyrinth of doors, passages, and stairs that lead to it.

The hallway stretched in all directions, into deep darkness.

The castle was so quiet that there seemed to be a mysterious aura in the air, and although many of the actual decorative items were long gone, under the influence of magic, the illusions of the past appeared in front of Aven's eyes, recreating the castle's former glory.

If you don't take into account the blue magic light that glows on these apparitions from time to time, they don't seem to be any different from the real thing.

If Evan had any doubts about the whole thing, it was the magic that brought ghosts and objects back to life.

There was no doubt that it was Ravenclaw's crown that set the magic in motion, but Evan didn't quite know how it worked.

In his opinion, the magic was incredible.

At least the ghosts are physical, they can act according to their own ideas, and most importantly, it takes a lot of magic to complete magic on this scale, and where does this energy come from?

This is certainly not the power of the crown, the crown of Ravenclaw is not as magical.

Evan had been wondering, and the ghost didn't seem to know about it, until he walked into Ravenclaw Castle, and he felt the magic around him become more active, and a powerful energy attracted him in the center of the castle, which was the source of the whole magic.

The Ravenclaw crown only activated the magic, and the magic itself was in the center of the castle on something.

"Wait, Marcus, ...... in this direction" Evan felt it for a moment, pointing to a hallway and asked, "What's there?"

"In that direction is the central tower, master, the library is there!" said Marcus, "please go this way, this corridor does not lead directly to the central tower, there is a secret passage on the third floor of the ballroom, otherwise we will have to go around the west tower in a big circle." ”

"Can't you just walk through it?" asked Aven, who thought the castle was strangely designed.

It's really strange that there are simpler and more direct passages that are not used, and it is so complicated to build them at the expense of the near and far.

The point is, in Aven's opinion, there is no point in building it like this.

"Yes, except for a few secret passages, only five tall towers are connected to the central tower, and we will have to go around it for a long time from here. Marcus explained, "The original designers placed magic in the castle, so the interior of the castle was designed in the form of spell runes, and many passages were strictly restricted by magic, and every newcomer to the castle couldn't figure out the directions, but if you've lived here for a long time, you'll be familiar with ......."

"Well, what is the magic that the ancestors of the Ravenclaw family have arranged?"

"It's a powerful defensive spell that is said to resist intruders, and I don't know exactly what magic it is, as it's only used when the Ravenclaws are in crisis. "Actually, as far as I know, no one has ever used this magic, and this is probably just a rumor." As you've seen, when the family was really in crisis, this so-called magic didn't work, and the power of death was beyond the reach of mortal magic. ”

"Well......" Evan nodded nonchalantly.

He felt that this magic was not as simple as Marcus said.

Regardless of whether it's defensive magic or not, it's amazing that so many ghosts and scenes from the past can be recreated.

Evan became more interested in the castle's central tower, and what kind of secrets were held outside the library.

Guided by the ghost, Evan ascended the white marble staircase to the third floor of the ballroom.

The side walls of the entire third floor have been replaced by openwork hanging windows, which give a view of the inner garden of the castle outside.

The garden is sandwiched between the castle exterior and the main tower, and the dead grass is dotted with statues of various shapes.

Evan paused again, looking at the towering central tower, his gaze quickly moving to the statue in the garden.

The shape of these statues is all monsters whose shapes are difficult to describe.......

For example, the humanoid statue of the mythical creature "Medusa" near the pavilion, this woman's hair is made up of countless snakes, its body is twisted, it is not clear whether it is the way it is, or because of the damage caused by the long-term weathering of the rock, it has eight arms on its body, and the body is also like a snake's tail underneath.

This strange creature, Evan had never seen before, it was like the product of some kind of dark magic transformation failure.

Although he hadn't seen it, looking at the statue, Ai Wen had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The images weren't exactly the same, but he almost immediately thought that it was the evil god he had seen in the centaur temple before, but the monsters he saw at that time were carved into the walls, and the statues in front of him were more three-dimensional and vivid.

Are these statues the creation of an evil god?

If so, things seem to be getting more and more interesting.

"There's the central tower, the master, the top of the stars...... It looks majestic, doesn't it?" Marcus said proudly, assuming that Evan was looking at the central tower, "The tower is a thousand feet tall, it's the tallest building I know, and you can't imagine standing on it and looking down on the whole territory, especially when you climb to the top, it's like you're in the middle of the stars......"

"Well, it's remarkable. Evan nodded, admiring inadmittedly, for those who were used to Muggle towering buildings, the height of the tower was actually nothing, but considering that it was built a thousand years ago or more, it was indeed a miraculous structure at the time.

But Evan wouldn't be shocked by that height, and certainly wouldn't contradict Marcus.

As a ghost from a thousand years ago, many of Marcus's understandings and worldviews are still stuck in the Middle Ages, and he may be frightened by the events of modern society.

Like Professor Binns, the Hogwarts teacher in the history of magic and wizardry, he couldn't accept anything modern at all.

Anything that had nothing to do with the course he taught seemed to frighten him.

After listening to the ghost's praise of the central tower, Evan asked his concern, "Who built those strange statues in the garden below?"
