Chapter 31: Passing Away
Sure enough, fairy tales are all lies.
Rowena Ravenclaw, who said she was a great witch who was unsmiling and full of wisdom, now seemed to be a trickster of tricks.
Norlin held the nameless book in his arms, his face glazed, and this thought was running through his mind over and over again.
The book was almost like his body, he couldn't take it off, and even if he racked his brains, it only got Ravenclaw with a mocking smile.
Ravenclaw slowly restrained his smile and said:
"If you hadn't broken free from its mental distraction just now, I wouldn't have given it to you; If you had just chosen to accept it, I wouldn't have given it to you. ”
Norin thought to himself, it's strange, it's not me crying and shouting and begging you to give it to me, it's a big deal for you to take it back!
"It's good that you have the initial qualifications to master it, and you know how to protect yourself and not put yourself in danger." Ravenclaw looked out the window and sighed, "Besides, I don't have any more time to wait." ”
Norlin's hand was still trying to pick off the Nameless Book, but he gradually regained his strength.
"I have existed for a thousand years, and there are only three people waiting for me, and you are the third."
Ravenclaw continued, "The first two, even I have to admit, are brilliant and gifted wizards. However, one was radical, and the other was even more unable to resist the mental interference of the Nameless Book, so I waited until now. ”
Nolin waved his wand and cast a flying spell, intending to get a chair over and sit down and listen. But something awkward happened, and the chair not far away didn't move, as if Norlin had never done magic.
Ravenclaw said with some amusement, "This space has been fortified, so you better stop using magic yet." ”
Hearing this, Norlin blushed. He smirked, walked over and sat down, and put on a picture of listening attentively.
"As you said, this soul body of mine has been around for thousands of years, and the dissipated magic power is not enough for me to sustain it any longer." Ravenclaw said with a smile, with no superfluous expression on his face, only a faint sentimentality and relief.
The objects in the room all emitted a soft fluorescence, reflecting her face a little dreamy.
Norlin opened his mouth, but stopped talking. He didn't know how to comfort the legendary witch, or he didn't know if she needed comfort.
"Hopefully, you'll be able to truly master the Nameless Book, and by then, you'll learn an even bigger secret."
Ravenclaw glanced at the six-pointed ancient book in Norin's arms and whispered.
"You don't have to feel sorry for me, the sun will go down, will you?" Ravenclaw's eyes lifted slightly, and there was a hint of anticipation on his face, "Now, tell me about the school." ”
The four of them have put together a lot of hard work in this school, and it is not surprising that Norlin has such a request. Norin groaned and told her everything he knew.
For example, Hogwarts is the most famous school of witchcraft and wizardry, the four major houses still follow their admissions guidelines, Hogwarts has produced a big devil for decades, and so on.
Ravenclaw listened with occasional chucking, sometimes snorting, but not interrupting Nolin's narration.
“…… That's about it. ”
Norin spoke dryly, and it took him almost an hour to finish everything he knew.
The fluorescence in the room dimmed.
Ravenclaw nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that the decision of the four of us was right at the beginning, and it was not in vain that Salazar guy took out the family heirloom castle to build a school." ”
"Let's try to grow. Our time has passed, and the future belongs to you. ”
Norlin listened to something unpleasant. Although he has little to do with Ravenclaw, he doesn't want a legendary witch who has been shining for thousands of years to die entirely.
"If you want to read a book here, you can read it at any time, and here are a lot of notes I take in my spare time, which is still very helpful to you."
Ravenclaw looked around the bookshelves in the room and said to Norin,
"Now, you can go back."
An indescribable feeling clogged Nolin's chest, and he felt a little stuffy. He was silent for a moment, then stooped and saluted.
"Goodbye, Dean."
As he reached the door, Norlin couldn't help but turn around and glance, and Ravenclaw nodded slightly and watched him leave.
Norlin didn't pause, pushed the door open and walked out.
After he left, Ravenclaw's figure became more and more illusory, but she did not look alarmed, but exhaled softly, and muttered to herself:
"It's finally here. In the future, the school will always have some guarantees. ”
Her eyes were deep and clear.
……
After exiting the door, Nolin was startled by a loud and fierce cheer. He thought for two seconds before he remembered what had happened.
It seems that the game not long ago is a long time ago for him, he thought in a trance.
The always reserved Kitty Hawks surrounded the Quidditch players, each with excitement and pride on their faces.
A smile appeared on Norin's face, and he clapped his hands twice, just as he tried to sneak past the edge of the crowd, but was grabbed.
Pekecy saw Nolin at a glance that something wasn't quite right, and struggled to squeeze his way out of the crowd before pulling him aside.
"Hey, why did you go?" Pekesy blinked her big bright eyes and pointed to his arms, "What kind of book is this?" ”
Norlin was taken aback and quickly stuffed the book into his robe. If this thing interferes with Pekesie's mind, it's going to be a big problem.
"Hmm...... I found one in the library, and I took it back because it looked a little strange. ”
In his hurry, Norlin couldn't make up any clever lies.
Fortunately, Pekathy didn't dig deeper, she just tilted her head and said:
"You've got something on your mind."
Norlin's eyes darkened. Ravenclaw waited a thousand years for the Nameless Book to be handed over to him, and he could not imagine what kind of responsibility he would take on in the future.
It's not that he doesn't want to, he just ...... Can't afford it now. Of course, now that he has taken it, he will grit his teeth and push it up.
Norlin grinned reluctantly, but the expression was rather comical on his eleven-year-old's face.
Pekathy was amused, and stretched out two hands to pinch Nolin's cheeks, pinching his face into a wanton deformation, and his mouth was full of words:
"You're only eleven years old, so you should play and study without worry, and leave your worries to seventeen years old to think about it."
Her long golden hair rose and fell behind her, and her expression suddenly became a little strange, and she leaned into Nolin's ear and whispered:
"Isn't it ...... Which girl do you really like, right? Oh my God, you're only eleven years old......"
Norlin rolled his eyes and wrenched his face away from his hands. At the age of eleven, those children don't even know what they like.
His eyes fell on the statue in the common room. Rowena Ravenclaw still looked into the distance with the same wisdom and depth, but Nolin's heart sank, and he felt that something was passing away.
He was now in front of the statue, silent for a long time.
