Chapter 80: The Wisdom of Abandonment

Luke's words did not surprise Ravenclaw.

In other words, when smart people face smart people, everyone's ideas will always coincide.

Because there can be many derivatives of one thing. But there is often only one optimal.

"I didn't plan to give you this inheritance in the first place."

Ravenclaw laughed lightly twice, then said coldly.

And Luke didn't have a surprised look on his face.

His lack of desire for the lineage itself is one thing. On the other hand, he is also self-aware. Ravenclaw, the embodiment of wisdom and reason.

Although suspected of boasting, Luke believes that he is not lacking in wisdom and reason. But what kind of thirst for knowledge, Luke can't do.

Moreover, compared to the secret chamber that only circulates in legends. There is no room inside the walls that no one else knows about except Peeves. Luke still hasn't found any clues to the location of Gryffindor's inheritance. Although the place where there is a request for a room is hidden, it is not a secret in the eyes of some students who love to toss.

Almost every few classes of students have one or even more into this room. But none of them received the Ravenclaw legacy.

Luke didn't think that these were the best students in the millennium. He was able to get Ravenclaw's attention, and he should have relied more on his own characteristics, the mixture of snakes and lions.

It's like Peeves is attracted to himself and has a trick that doesn't necessarily hurt.

The characteristics of my own body are just magical for those who don't know. For those in the know, it can already be said to be very interesting gossip.

And people, the pursuit of gossip, it is difficult to say that it is not endless.

Just like now that Ravenclaw shows up when he comes to the Room of Requirement, it's not necessarily that Ravenclaw feels like the one who can be entrusted with the legacy. Maybe it's just a thousand years of silence that makes her too boring. When I saw such a person with ancient jokes like myself appearing, I finally couldn't help but come out and say a few words.

"I can sense that you're still interested in my legacy. It's just that this interest is not for myself. ”

Ravenclaw doesn't have to think about it, just look at the smiling face on this kid's face and Godric's face, and you can know that this kid is definitely not the kind of person who can not mix it up when he sees the benefits.

It's not good to look like anyone, but it's like that stupid lion. Is it bad to learn from Salazar's arrogance? It's just that I have no face and no skin.

"My legacy is not something that can be easily obtained. For the sake of your special status, I can give you a chance to choose someone to participate in my assessment. ”

She's not really passionate about passing on her knowledge.

Everyone started such a place of inheritance in the first place, just because they learned it from Salazar. As for whether his magic and knowledge can really be passed on. They don't care.

It's hard to go the way of others and to reach heights that others haven't got.

And, if they can't even get out of their own way, what is the point of them starting this school?

There is no danger of extinction in this world. It is meaningless to leave a legacy, but it is indeed not big. What's more, every powerful talent magic is too unique and rare.

It's not like a thousand years to produce a fit. Rather, it is quite possible that it will be cut off after a flash in the pan.

This kind of thing is commonplace for Ravenclaw.

"So...... What about the conditions? ”

Luke didn't look happy. There is no such thing as a free lunch. An opportunity for the Ravenclaw legacy. Seriously, I was able to help myself win over a strong enough family.

Of course, if you really take this opportunity to win over a family. Luke felt like he could die.

And such a big gift, will the other party give it away for free for the sake of being a descendant of Slytherin?

Luke might have had a chance if he were Slytherin's own son, but he was only a descendant a thousand years later.

It is important to recognize your place and show your value.

"First of all, the person you brought must meet my basic inheritance requirements."

Ravenclaw spoke.

Luke's expression was solemn, and he said seriously, "Please speak." ”

Ravenclaw didn't sell it either, and said bluntly: "Have a thirst for knowledge." Needless to say. ”

"Be smart enough. The hard requirement is to have a certain talent for memory magic. And, at the very least, learn a real memory magic. ”

"Is it like a forgetfulness?"

Luke asked.

"Be truly forgetful."

Luke frowned and took a deep breath: "What do you mean by real forgetfulness?" ”

After he asked the question, Ravenclaw was silent for a long time, then let out a long sigh.

"Maybe I shouldn't have any hope that this legacy will continue."

"The question of what real magic is is still too far away for you...... Not something you should be thinking about right now. ”

"Tsk, it's a scavenger hunt that's too difficult to participate in."

Luke fell silent. I don't know what I'm thinking.

Ravenclaw was not talking, as if he was considering how the matter should be handled.

After a few moments, Ravenclaw spoke, somewhat tiredly, "Well, you can do two things for me." You find someone you feel fit. I gave her some of the knowledge I had summarized. Although it is not as good as the inheritance of magic, this knowledge is precious in itself. ”

Luke knew that knowledge that could be called 'precious' by Ravenclaw, one of the Big Four, must involve an extremely high level.

"Please tell me what two things are first." Luke's expression calmed down, and he seemed to have lost his interest in the Ravenclaw heritage and knowledge, "I'll do my best to solve it for you." ”

The so-called doing my best is to run away if things are not harmonious.

Ravenclaw knew what Luke meant, but he didn't talk to Luke about it.

"First, my crown has been polluted by an ignorant fool......"

As he said this, Luke could hear a slight resentment in her tone.

"I need you to help me purify it and give it back to me. In itself, it is also a part of the heritage. ”

Luke nodded earnestly. Ravenclaw's tiara, if he remembers correctly, was in its original form, in the state of the storage room. It's not hard to find it.

As for purification...... After that kind of thing, Luke couldn't say for sure, whether using the basilisk's venom was purifying...... But most likely it shouldn't be counted.

And what Ravenclaw called 'a link in the inheritance' made him care more.

Sure enough, the items left behind by the Big Four are all related to their inheritance...... In this way, Tom, the bastard, would be fine if he knew what they did. The most I can do is say, 'What I can't get, others can't think of.'" ’

If he really didn't know what they did......

Can't you use your brain?! This kind of thing is worth studying at first glance, okay!

"And the second thing?"

Luke asked.

But Ravenclaw did not respond immediately, but fell silent again. I don't know if it's an illusion, Luke felt a trace of grief and confusion.

He didn't open his mouth to interrupt Ravenclaw's thoughts. Instead, he stood there quietly and waited.

After a long time, Ravenclaw finally spoke quietly.

"The second thing, untie my daughter's heart knots and let me ...... See her again. ”

Luke had long guessed about this condition.

He pursed his lips, then shook his head and said, "I will do my best to help Lady Helena." Seriously, though, I can't guarantee it. ”

He didn't have that confidence, and if Helena Ravenclaw's knot could be untied so easily, she wouldn't have become a ghost after dying and returned to Hogwarts.

Every ghost is a condensation of obsession. They are not just souls. Obsession is the pillar that supports them and does not disappear.

Even a ghost like Nick, who almost had no head, seems to be happy all day long, and has no heart and lungs, must have unspeakable sadness or paranoia.

Helena and the bloody Barrow are also the last ones who are obsessed with the ghosts. Luke doesn't think it's an easy task.

"Just go all out." Ravenclaw's voice stopped again.

Luke could feel that she still had something to say, but it seemed to be swallowing it all back into her stomach.

There are some things that are not enough for outsiders either.

"If nothing else, I'll leave first, ma'am."

Luke's tone was filled with helplessness: "Don't hide it, I'm really sleepy." It's been a while since I've had a good night's sleep. ”

"Go ahead, go back and rest."

As he spoke, Luke could feel the door behind him open.

It also gave him a long sigh of relief. This long night can finally be ended with a good night's sleep.

So he quickly put away the covers, then pushed open the door straight and walked out.

"Goodbye, ma'am."

Before leaving, he did not forget to salute politely and say goodbye.

But when he walked out, he looked quite cheerful.

"Hmmm......"

Ravenclaw's response was a bit listless. She seemed to be still immersed in her own grief.

However, after Luke left, her muttering resounded in the room.

"Sleepy? How does it feel like a lack of mental power...... I guess it's just an illusion......"

And so, the Room of Requirement returned to its usual magical, yet peaceful state.

On the other hand, Luke slipped Doris, who was disgruntled and slapped his cheek with his own tail, back into his pocket again. Completely ignoring the little one's resistance and indignation.

And just as he walked out of the Room of Requirement, ready to put a phantom spell on himself. And he saw that warm whiteness.

And next to the pale figure, get a tall, old, gentle, but mysterious figure.

In the hallways of Hogwarts, it's no surprise to bump into a ghost head-on. But when they bump into the principal head-on, some people have to think about whether they have done something taboo.

Unfortunately, Luke was one of those people.

Dumbledore looked at Luke gently, recognizing his astonishment, and the moment on his face that had returned to calm.

Although it is not yet possible to do the collapse of Mount Tai in front and the color does not change, the elk is in the left and does not look instantaneous.

But this child's current expression management ability is already above many middle-aged people.

More critically, he is improving at a very fast pace.

"Good evening, Professor, I guess I can't hide it from you."

Luke said with some embarrassment.

"Luke, can you tell me what's going on inside?" Dumbledore asked in an almost gentle tone.

"I hatched my partner inside, and somehow triggered Miss Ravenclaw's will." Luke began, "Maybe it's because I'm a Slytherin descendant. She chatted with me for a few days. ”

"Did you talk about inheritance or anything?"

Dumbledore asked frankly.

Luke was stunned by his honesty, but he nodded as he looked at the kind old man in the candlelight.

"Yes, I asked about the inheritance."

Dumbledore noticed that Lady Gray's body was trembling beside him, and that the light on her body was flickering. It seems that the mood is quite unstable.

"But I am not a good fit for the Lady Ravenclaw legacy. So she rejected me. ”

There was a bit of helplessness in Luke's tone, and he also looked quite regretful.

This made Mrs. Gray breathe a sigh of relief while being lost.

"Anything else?"

"I promised Lady Ravenclaw two things, the first being to recover her tainted crown."

"The second is to help Ms. Ravenclaw's daughter open her heart."

"But Lady Ravenclaw sounded very weak, so she just told me what had happened, and then she stopped talking, and didn't even tell me where the crown was, or who her daughter was."

Speaking of this, Luke sighed with emotion: "She should be just a spirit body." It's been more than a thousand years, but I'm afraid it's on the verge of dissipation. ”

Then he looked up, ignoring Mrs. Gray, who had become a misfitted light bulb.

"Professor, do you have any clues for me?"

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, glanced at Lady Gray beside him, and then at Luke, who was glancing at him, he shook his head and said regretfully, "I think Lady Ravenclaw would have preferred you to do this task alone." ”

"I'm a professor, Luke, and I have to take responsibility for your future, so I can't help you."

Luke shook his head helplessly: "Yes, then I'll imagine it again." ”

"Alright, it's late at night, go back to sleep. You look really tired. With that, he pulled a potion out of his pocket and shoved it into Luke's hand.

"Drink it before bedtime. It calms the nerves. ”

He winked at Luke and smiled, "I use this potion occasionally when I'm tired. ”
