The moment Scott pushed open the white stone door, the sound of a majestic, beautiful and solemn organ rushed towards the four people at the door.

"This ......"

In addition to Milton and Roger, Scott and Eddie heard the organ version of the piece for the first time.

It turns out that Milton: they really weren't exaggerating.

Scott, listening to the sound of the organ, thought.

Thinking back to hearing the students play the version in the classical music club, even though he didn't know much about music, he could hear a huge difference.

By this time, Scott's steps into the door had stopped.

He couldn't help but close his eyes, his thoughts seemed to merge with the music, wandering between heaven and earth.

The deafening music became melodious and ethereal, and at the same time, Scott heard more voices-

The wind passing through the canyon, the undercurrents in the black lake, the people in the castle, and the morning mist drifting away......

The whole world seemed to be completely open to him, and he felt more comfortable and happy than he had ever been.

I don't know how long it took for the organ to stop abruptly before Scott opened his eyes as if from a dream.

He turned to look at the others, meeting the equally shocked gazes of his roommates.

"This ...... What's going on? Eddie couldn't help but keep his voice down.

"It was definitely not that good what I heard that time...... Roger muttered.

"As I said, she's getting more beautiful than she was when I first heard it." Milton whispered, "Now she's even more perfect." ”

"Let's go take a look."

Scott thought for a moment and led the way through the door.

What he didn't say was that just after listening to a song, it actually made his magic more active, and his control and perception of magic became stronger.

This greatly strengthened his curiosity.

"Wait."

The roommates hurried after him.

As they stepped into the dark hallway, the magic lamps on the walls on both sides suddenly lit up one after another, extending all the way into the depths of the hallway.

"Scott, don't go in."

Milton hoarsely began to persuade again.

"At the very least, you should tell the professor about what you found here."

Scott shook his head.

"Professors can't be involved in this."

He strode forward.

"Let's go, let's see."

Milton is being pushed by Roger and Eddie.

As they walked through the long hallway, their eyes suddenly opened up again.

It is an extremely tall stone hall.

The hall is not dim, and the walls on the left and right sides are lined with tall floor-to-ceiling windows with views over the Black Lake.

Scott narrowed his eyes, guessing that the views were the same magic as the sky displayed on the ceiling of the castle auditorium.

The main attraction of the whole hall is the pipe organ that occupies an entire wall.

Large and small brass pipes lined the ornately decorated walls in an orderly manner, covering the towering walls.

In front of the bandstand with multiple keyboards, a woman is sitting.

She wore a pointed black hat and a gorgeous emerald green robe, with long shiny black hair scattered behind her back.

"Hello, I didn't expect a little wizard to come here."

She didn't look back, her voice cold.

"Hello, ma'am."

Scott stepped forward and saluted politely.

"I took the liberty of interrupting me."

He looked up at the other party's back again, and from her opaque body, he could at least tell that the other party was not a ghost.

But......

He didn't expect that there would be a wizard hiding here, could it be the descendant of the man who made the oath with Ravenclaw in the first place?

"I know what you're here for."

The black-haired witch was still sitting in front of the orchestra of the organ.

"Is it called Milton?" "The kid who wants to go back on his face." ”

At this time, Milton grabbed Scott, who wanted to speak, and stepped forward himself.

"Yes, my name is Milton Graves, ma'am." He saluted.

"You're very talented in music, Milton."

There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation in the black-haired witch's tone.

"After getting your talent, my playing has become more and more perfect."

She stood up suddenly, her long skirt swept across the floor, and she turned to look at the boys.

Her face was obscured by a translucent black veil attached to her hat, revealing her dark eyes and bright red lips.

But Scott was sure that the lady was undoubtedly extremely beautiful.

In particular, her snow-white skin, which reflected a delicate luster, didn't even look like a real person at all.

At this moment, her red lips opened lightly, and she asked coldly, "Milton, you also got what you wanted, didn't you?" ”

"Yes, ma'am." Milton said, bowing his head.

"So what do you have to complain about?" The black-haired witch still looked at him, "You can already become a more powerful wizard. ”

"I'm sorry." Milton looked up, "It's not my dream to be a powerful wizard. ”

"Oh?"

The black-haired witch's bright red lips suddenly hooked up and let out a mocking laugh.

"And what are your dreams?"

With dignified steps, she walked up to Milton step by step, staring at him condescendingly.

"Kid, do you want to be a musician?"

She chuckled again.

"Huh...... Musicians don't have to be wizards to ......."

She reached out and tapped Milton's forehead with her long, white fingers.

“…… Why don't you just trade all your magic for music? ”

She said mockingly.

"Then you might be a great ...... Muggle musician. ”

"I ......"

Milton couldn't help but take a step back.

"How? Reluctant? ”

The black-haired witch didn't move again, just stared at him again.

"Tell me, kid, magic and music, what are you going to choose?"

At this time, Scott's eyes widened in shock, looking at the black-haired witch.

As she approached a few people, Scott's sense of magic became clearer and clearer.

He was surprised to discover that the mysterious black-haired witch was not human, or even a living creature.

He didn't know what the material made of her body was, but he was sure that the lady was more of a cold doll than a living person.

"You found out."

The black-haired witch turned her head to meet Scott's gaze.

"Indeed, I'm not a living wizard anymore."

Scott adjusts his breathing to calm himself down.

He asked tentatively, "I don't know if we can know your identity." ”

"That's meaningless, kid."

The black-haired witch said coldly.

She turned her head to Stare at Milton again, "Have you figured it out?" Milton. ”

Without waiting for Milton to answer, she looked at the other three boys.

Or......

She proposed.

"You are friends, you can also help him pay the price, if it is the average amount of magic for each person, he will not become a Muggle."

"Nope! It's impossible! ”

Milton immediately exclaimed.

"I'll pay enough for myself!"

The black-haired witch seemed a little pleased, "Oh? So you still chose music? ”

Although her expression was still very small, her tone was a little brisk.

"Milton." Scott spoke suddenly, "You should think carefully about whether it is worth it to be a Muggle for the sake of music." ”

"yes, think again, Milton!"

"Don't rush to make a decision."

Eddie and Roger also persuaded him.

"How?" The black-haired witch stared at Scott unhappily, "Are you willing to help your friend pay the price?" ”

"I don't want to."

Scott told the truth.

"You ......," the black-haired witch looked at him in surprise.

"It's normal."

Scott said calmly.

"Milton is a friend of mine, and I'm willing to find this place for him, talk to you, and give him a chance to repent. But that's all I have to offer about friendship. ”

"What a Ravenclaw friendship."

The black-haired witch said as if admiring and mocking.

"For thousands of years...... The guys in your academy are still like that......"

She suddenly looked behind Scott and them.

"Are you right, Helena?"
