Chapter 187: The Sealed Corpse
Overnight, two Ravenclaws died one after another, and this ancient surname has disappeared from history.
As the only witness, Rove didn't know what to say.
He originally came to collect Helena's body, but he didn't expect it to end up collecting the body for Ravenclaw's mother and daughter.
What's this called?!
For Rove, Ravenclaw and Helena are actually ancients who have been dead for a thousand years, and they should not have had too many emotional waves when they knew they would die.
But at this moment, it is really necessary to witness their deaths, especially the fall of Ravenclaw...... In Rov's heart, there was still an inexplicable sense of boredom.
That's Rowena Ravenclaw, as one of the Big Four, how could she just die?!
Rove collected the bodies of Ravenclaw and Helena, and after a night in the cabin, he rushed to the Portkey's location early the next morning and returned to Hogwarts.
In the office,
After listening to Rove's account, Hufflepuff was silent for a long time, staring at the two corpses in a daze.
Rove also accompanied her in a daze.
After half a ring, Hufflepuff finally asked softly:
"Rove, who do you think did it?"
"I gave Barrow a truism potion, and he said it was Slytherin." Rove said cautiously, "But I didn't really see Slytherin. ”
"If you see Salazar, you won't come back alive." Hufflepuff sighed softly:
"In this magical world, there are only a few wizards who can defeat Royna, Liao Liao, and there are probably no one else who can kill her except Salazar."
"But I don't understand, Professor......," Rove wondered, "why would Slytherin do that?" ”
Hufflepuff didn't answer directly, she looked at the boy's still childish young face, and asked:
"Do you know why Slytherin left Hogwarts back then?"
"In the history of magic, the four founders had a disagreement on their teaching philosophy." Rove thought for a moment and replied:
"Slytherin wanted Hogwarts to be more selective when it came to recruiting students, believing that magical education should be limited to pure-bloods......"
"If we really have to go our separate ways just for something, that's really underestimating us."
Hufflepuff said with a complicated expression:
"After the fall of the ancient wizarding realm, we inherited the title of wizard, the early group of pure-blood wizards who wanted to establish a new kingdom.
That kingdom was quickly destroyed because of the curse, but the idea of wizard supremacy and wizard statehood was passed down from generation to generation. ”
"Salazar Slytherin, the standard wizarding and founding ist." Hufflepuff looked into the distance, and said in a trance:
"He wants to recreate the splendor of the ancient wizard civilization, and wants the wizard to rule the world and become the master of the high.
Muggles, elves and giants...... All creatures have to bow down and obey orders, and they don't dare to run amok again......"
"Salazar tells us that he has found a solution to the curse of the wizard's failure to build a state, and wants us all to help him."
"But the end of the ancient wizard kingdom is not far away, and that group of powerful beings, who once ruled the world, will eventually be reduced to a pile of stumps and broken bones in the mud."
"So, we were all against Salazar, and he finally left in anger and parted ways with us completely, towards a break."
Rove thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Professor, how are Slytherins going to solve that curse?" ”
"Rove, do you remember asking me...... Are all those ancient wizards really dead? Hufflepuff asked.
The boy nodded.
"In the aftermath of the apocalypse, there are still some ancient wizards who survived, and in order not to be enslaved by them, our ancestors united intelligent beings such as giants, elves, and centaurs to form an alliance to fight those ancient wizards."
Hufflepuff folded his hands on his abdomen and said with a solemn face:
"It was a terrible war, we lost too many coalition troops, but only one wizard was eliminated from the remnants of the ancient wizards...... Not killed! ”
"That wizard seems to be immortal, no matter how the coalition attacks, they can't kill him!"
Hufflepuff said in a deep voice:
"In the end, the coalition used some means that you and I can't think of now, to cut that ancient wizard into five parts......"
"They are the 'sealed right leg', the 'sealed left leg', the 'sealed right arm', the 'sealed left arm', and ...... 'sealed torso'.
They were hidden by five pure-blood wizards and imprisoned for tens of thousands of years. ”
Rove only felt like he was listening to a book from heaven, and his eyes were in a trance.
Hufflepuff continued:
Salazar's solution was to complete the ancient sorcerer's body and hold on his right arm, which had been handed down by the family...... And the left arm is in the hands of Rowena. ”
Rove slowly digested this information and guessed, "Could it be that Slytherin attacked Professor Ravenclaw just to get the sealed left arm?" ”
"Possibly." Hufflepuff sighed, "However, Rowena already knew her fate through that well of death, and she might have prepared in advance." ”
Hufflepuff stood up and paced around the office:
"Rowena also built a cemetery for herself early on, and after the funeral, I would send her and Helena's bodies in."
Ravenclaw's graveyard...... Rove was slightly distracted, he remembered Helena, who in the future had repeatedly proposed to let him rob this tomb!
"Rove, in your time, Rowena's tomb was not destroyed or stolen by anyone, right?" Hufflepuff asked suddenly.
Rov came back to his senses, he coughed and said, "No, how could anyone go and rob Professor Ravenclaw's tomb."
I won't say yes in the first place! ”
"That's good." Hufflepuff looked deeply at the boy and said:
"That's right, Rove. Rowena spoke to me before he left Hogwarts...... She left her chamber and the well of death, all to you. ”
"Leave it to me?" Rove was stunned.
"Yes." Hufflepuff patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "But she's already locked the door, and you can't get in until you find the key." ”
"Keys?" Rove asked, "Where did you put it?" ”
"Rowena didn't tell me." Hufflepuff shook her head and said, "She's hiding in a very hidden location at Hogwarts, and you'll need to find it yourself." ”
“……”
The boy was silent, there was no hint, where did he look for it?
Rov chatted with Hufflepuff for a while, and finally left the office, and the room fell silent again.
Hufflepuff stood beside Ravenclaw, staring blankly at his friend.
Her mind wandered away, remembering that year, the four of them were like-minded and like-minded, and they joined hands to establish Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Time passes, things are people, and the past is like a dream.
When Gryffindor returns, he will definitely go after Slytherin, and the former four will probably never be seen again.
Hufflepuff felt some sadness in her heart, and she sighed faintly, her eyes like deep pools, and she could no longer hold back her tears.
