Chapter 30: The Nameless Book
Given Norlin ten heads, he couldn't imagine how he could talk to someone a thousand years ago, this kind of scene is weird to think about.
Even if it was his first headmaster, Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the four greatest wizards of Hogwarts.
Ravenclaw sighed and fell silent. She looked at Norin quietly, and her eyes converged on Nolin's smooth forehead.
Norin was a little hairy at the sight, and his forehead was faintly hot with her gaze. He pondered his tone for a moment and asked cautiously:
"Are you ...... What to see? ”
Ravenclaw didn't answer right away. There was no bottom in her eyes, but there was a hint of joy in her words.
"It wasn't mistaken."
Nolin's mind was racing in his head, but he couldn't grasp the slightest hint of the current situation. There were too few useful clues, so he pouted and simply gave up thinking about it.
"Follow me." Ravenclaw didn't keep him waiting long. She turned, floated to a bookshelf behind her desk, and said.
Norlin hurried to follow.
It was an old-looking bookshelf with magical writings strewn with traces of time, slowly but steadily emitting a soft glow. Beneath the bookshelf is a humble cabinet.
"Turn it on."
Ravenclaw didn't even glance at the books, perhaps she had flipped through them countless times over the years. She raised her chin slightly, pointed to the cabinet, and spoke.
Norlin squatted down, touched the cabinet with his hand, and with a slight pull, the cabinet opened smoothly.
There was nothing else in the cabinet but a very ordinary book. There is not even a title on the cover, just a six-pointed star circle, surrounded by a halo of light.
For some reason, the moment he saw the book, Norlin felt his forehead get hotter and hotter, as if something was struggling to come out. He covered his forehead, and his breathing began to be a little shriveled.
"Pick it up." Ravenclaw didn't seem to see Nolin's anomaly, she floated in the air and whispered, "This is an extremely precious meditation method from the ancient magical age, and with it, you can have magic far beyond your imagination." I think you should already understand what meditation is. ”
The sound was not loud, but it was particularly tempting to Nolin's ears.
Meditation ...... Powerful...... Magic......
For a moment, many thoughts such as the desperate search for strength and the pursuit of powerful magic poured into his mind. His mind was in chaos, but his hand involuntarily reached for the magic book that exuded infinite attraction.
Ravenclaw watched his actions indifferently, his face expressionless.
At the moment when his hand was about to touch the cover, there was a sudden sharp pain in his eyebrows, and his hand shrank unnaturally as if he had been struck by lightning.
Norlin sat on the ground with an unsteady center of gravity.
When he looked up again, there was already a deep guard in his eyes, and the wand reappeared in his hand.
"Are you really Rowena Ravenclaw?"
Ravenclaw's eyes fluctuated for a moment, and instead of answering his question, he asked:
"Why?"
Norlin gasped and got to his feet and took two steps back. If it weren't for the sudden pain, he would have picked up the meditation book. At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind, there must be a demon when things go wrong.
He felt that his willpower was not so bad, and that he could easily be confused by his mind. Well, either there's something wrong with that book, or Ravink has labored his hands and feet.
"I don't believe there's such a pie in the sky as good as it happens." Norin sneered, and the previous respect in his tone was much less.
The corners of Ravenclaw's mouth twitched, and he said slowly: "For those who use reason, life is a comedy; Life is a tragedy for those who appeal to feelings. ”
It's a strong Ravenclaw style. Norin muttered secretly, not letting his guard down.
"I'm not lying to you, it's an extremely powerful meditation method. I'm just amplifying your emotions a little. ”
Ravenclaw said with a smile no longer on his face.
Sure enough, it's you......
Norlin pursed his lips and gained a further understanding of Ravenclaw's strength. Even a phantom that has passed a thousand years can cast a spell silently and without a wand to such an extent, you can imagine how terrifying she was a thousand years ago.
His mind was stronger than that of an adult, and he had to rely on that sharp pain to break free. If you were to be a Hogwarts student, you wouldn't be able to resist the temptation.
"Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest treasure of mankind." Ravenclaw repeated her famous quote, "That hat is rarely wrong in the Sorting House, and you're the right choice in Ravenclaw." ”
Actually, it's not so accurate, when Tom Riddle entered Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat should have been assigned to Azkaban. Norin sneered secretly, scratched his head, and asked:
"So?"
"As you can see, this book doesn't have a title." Rowena turned her gaze to the ancient book in the cabinet, and there was a hint of remembrance in her voice, "The wizards of the past called it the Nameless Book. ”
Norin listened quietly, he knew it wasn't a good time to interject.
"It's the culmination of meditation and it's the pinnacle of it. But throughout the ages, there have been very few wizards who have mastered it. ”
Ravenclaw paused.
"Why?"
Norlin replied with a familiar answer.
"Because it has extremely strange spiritual interference, and can even pollute the spiritual source of wizards. Many powerful wizards have fallen to this point. ”
Norin listened with question marks on his face. In that case, you're going to give me this thing? Are you sure you're my old dean and not an old enemy?
"A thousand years ago, together with the Slytherins, I suppressed the spiritual pollution of this meditation and sealed it into several layers, so that we could get a glimpse of the mysteries of the book. However, the seal is not complete after all, so practicing this meditation method is still very risky. ”
Ravenclaw paused, giving Norlin a moment to absorb.
Norlin's eyes rolled, and he made up his mind not to have anything to do with the book. The powerful magic is tempting, but maybe one day you will be polluted into an idiot. So many wizards have been recruited, and he is a little first-year freshman, and he still has this self-knowledge.
"Now, you have two options. One is to take over the book, and at the same time take the responsibility of taking over it; The second is to leave here, as if nothing had happened, and I will erase this memory of you. ”
Ravenclaw looked directly at him and said with interest.
"Do it. Tap it. Norlin blurted out a stiff neck, answering so quickly that Ravenclaw was stunned.
"Good choice. If you can't see the bottom of the river, you won't wade through the water, and it seems that you are also such a person. ”
Ravenclaw nodded approvingly, a satisfied expression on his face for the first time, and continued:
"It's just a pity, I lied to you this time, you have no choice."
Before Norlin could understand what he meant, his eyes widened as he watched the nameless book in the cabinet soar into the air and fly into his arms.
