Chapter 183: The Legendary Treasure Chest
Rove listened quietly to Gryffindor's words, he didn't say anything, but he was stunned with his hands in his hands, and only said after a while:
"The island...... Are those merfolk guarding something? ”
"There are many things on the island, but the most precious ......" Gryffindor said with a solemn expression, "the legend is a chest. ”
"Boxes?" Rove's eyes widened, and he remembered again the third painting from Nicol's Book of Abraham:
Inside one room, there is a sealed chest on which a tree grows. There was also a wizard holding a sword, and behind him, a turquoise dragon with a hat on its head.
Could it be this box?!
The boy opened his mouth, and Gryffindor seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and shook his head:
"Rov, I don't know what's in the box, but I've also heard from others about that box......"
Cassandra waited for a long time, but did not wait for the following, and asked curiously, "Who do you listen to?" ”
"Rowena Ravenclaw." Gryffindor glanced at Cassandra and replied:
"She'd been on that island alone."
When Gryffindor said this, he simply stood up and walked slowly around the campfire, and he said in a trance:
"Many years ago, Rowena was in the Atlantic Ocean looking for the ruins of an ancient wizard, but a storm caused the ship to sink to the bottom of the sea."
Gryffindor walked half a circle around the campfire with his hands behind his back, and continued:
"Rowena had been drifting on the surface for a long time when he happened to come across a ship...... Ghost Ship! ”
Rove didn't speak, but his mind suddenly remembered the ghost ship he encountered when he took the Mayflower to the United States during the summer vacation, and the coffin that was towed behind the ship.
Gryffindor didn't pause, and said in a gentle voice:
"Rowena entered the ghost ship and drifted through the fog all night, and the ship finally docked on an island, the mysterious island...... Speaking of which, that was seventeen years ago. ”
Hearing the words "seventeen years ago", Rove's eyes flickered, and he muttered:
"I heard Professor Hufflepuff say that Professor Ravenclaw drank a spring to give birth to Helena, did he drink it on that island?"
"That's right!" Gryffindor nodded, he slowed down, and said:
"There are many miraculous springs on that island, and one of them is that drinking it will give birth to life, even if it is virgin!"
"There's still this kind of water?" Cassandra's face was filled with surprise.
"Don't be surprised...... There are many records of such a thing as a virgin conception in history. ”
Gryffindor stopped, he stood with his hands in his hands, and said in a deep voice:
"The most famous is Mary, who actually drank the water of that spring before she became pregnant and gave birth to a ...... Jesus. ”
"Actually, I've always wanted to give it a try." Gryffindor blinked, and said in a hurry:
"Let's see if we can get a God-given child too."
“……”
"I'm kidding." Gryffindor laughed, "Anyway, that island is magical, I've always wanted to go there, but I couldn't find its location." ”
Rove thought for a moment and then asked, "You went to the tribe of the two-tailed merfolk to find out where that island is?" ”
"Not exactly." Gryffindor nodded and shook his head:
"If those merfolk could find the island, they would have gone by themselves, and their information is limited, but ......"
Gryffindor paused, "When Palcellopus chased Odysseus and left the island, he took something with him, and I was mainly looking for it. ”
Rove's eyelids drooped and he muttered, "Key." ”
Gryffindor was really shocked this time, he looked at the boy hesitantly, this is the information he had only obtained after many years of investigation!
He frowned and said, "Rove, you even know this?" ”
"I heard Mishela, she said that a thousand years ago, you took something from their tribe."
Rove spoke quickly and unhurriedly, explaining:
"Then I asked about the Sorting Hat, and it told me it was a key, and that the key was at Hogwarts, and that you had placed it somewhere there was a mermaid mark."
"Is that so?" Gryffindor paced slowly, slapped his wand on the palm of his other hand, and after thinking about it, he said:
"Actually, all I took with me was a map, and I haven't found the key yet, and I'm not even sure if it's real or not.
But the news of the future just shows that the map is true. ”
"Haha......" Gryffindor was a little excited, and he laughed loudly, "When I find the key, I'll do as you say, hide it in the mermaid mark." ”
Rove was stunned for a moment, and felt that Gryffindor placed the key in the place where the mermaid had marked...... Or is it because of yourself?
The young man stretched out his hands and rubbed his cheeks, his return this time seemed to have inadvertently contributed to the occurrence of many historical events.
"By the way, Professor Gryffindor, is there a way to get rid of gray scale?" Rovti Mysela asked.
"Yes, but it's speculation!" Gryffindor bowed his head and said, "I heard Rowena say that there is a spring on that island, called the Spring of Good Luck.
The Fountain of Good Fortune is surrounded by herbs that cure all curses and diseases. ”
Rove was stunned for a moment.
Noticing the change in the boy's face, Gryffindor asked, "Rove, what's wrong with you?" Do you remember any important messages? ”
Rove snorted and said in confusion: "In my time, I did hear about the island that harbored the Fountain of Good Luck, but the location was fixed at ...... North Sea. ”
"Beihai?"
"Yes, that island is in the North Sea." Rove said in a deep voice: "Instead of wandering around the world without a fixed place as you say. ”
"That's weird." Gryffindor groaned, and for a moment he was full of suspicion, curious, "Have you been there?" ”
"No, but I have a map here."
Rove took out a small purse, which was enlarged by a traceless stretching charm and contained a lot of items.
He quickly pulled out an old parchment nautical map, with all sorts of elaborate terrifying sea magical creatures drawn on it, as if it were about to roar out of the map.
Gryffindor took the map, looked around, frowned, and said, "Rove, where did you get this map?" ”
"It's also a ghost ship." Rove explained, "The map that the captain got from another ghost ship when he was young bought a boat and went in search of the Fountain of Good Fortune.
When it reappeared, all that was left was the ghost ship and the map, and the captain and crew were gone. ”
"That's right." Gryffindor looked at the map, pondered for a long time, and said, "Looks like I'm going to the North Sea, Rove...... Are you going to go together? ”
"No, no." Rove shook his head and said:
"The owner of the ghost ship was acquainted with a friend of mine, who warned me not to try to find these things, believing that the end would be death.
He said that the reason why the ships became ghost ships was because they were cursed for trying to find the fountain of good luck...... Curse of the Grim Reaper!
Professor Gryffindor, I'm a coward. ”
"No wonder you didn't enter my academy, it's because you lack a little courage."
Gryffindor laughed, and he grinned:
"If only there was a god of death in the world, I could try to kill him with this sword!"
Rove smiled but didn't say a word.
"You've got the Stone of Destiny, are you going back a thousand years from now?" Gryffindor asked again.
"Yes." Rove nodded, he looked at the campfire, but thought about Helena, who had accidentally missed.
Before he went back, he had to go to the Albanian forest...... Help her collect her body.
