Rove raised his wand high, and the faint white light flickered, illuminating the empty high platform, and what came into his eyes made him stunned.

He saw a coffin.

This is the tomb of Ravenclaw, and it is not surprising to see the coffin, but it is terrifying to think about it when you can't see it!

But the problem is that Rove didn't see the coffins of Ravenclaw and Helena in his memory, only the unfamiliar wooden coffin.

After Rove approached with Shirley, he looked at it a few more times, and became more and more frightened.

The coffin was placed alone on a high platform, and there was no inscription on the surface of the coffin, except for a simple pattern on the lid:

Triangular eyes, with a vertical line in the middle of the pupil.

Signs of the Deathly Hallows!

Last summer, when Rove was traveling to the United States on the Mayflower, he encountered a ghost ship on the way, and the stern of the ship was dragging one of these wooden coffins.

Both are exactly the same.

But that coffin floats in the Atlantic, and it shouldn't be in Ravenclaw's grave anyway!

Rove told Shirley about his doubts, and then guessed, "Did someone bring it in?" ”

"But this is a Ravenclaw tomb, and a few wizards can get in." The girl said softly.

"yes." Rove groaned and frowned again, "But didn't the two of us come in too?" ”

Shirley was silent for a moment, and she didn't understand why she was able to come in, and the girl suddenly remembered that she had lived in a convent not far from the tomb of Ravenclaw since she was a child...... It doesn't seem to be a coincidence.

Shirley suppressed the doubts in her heart and continued to say softly:

"Maybe it's just a similar style, maybe this coffin was put by Ravenclaw himself, didn't you also say it...... She had known that she was going to die, and she probably had prepared in advance. ”

Rove bowed his head slightly, this is indeed more likely.

So the question is, who is buried in this coffin?

Rove stepped forward, he held the lid of the coffin with both hands, kicked the ground with both feet, and pushed forward vigorously, and Shirley came to help, but the wooden lid did not move, as if it were nailed to it.

The boy waved his wand again, but the lid of the coffin remained unmoved, and he even stabbed the wooden coffin with the goblin's dagger, and there were no scratches.

"Looks like there's magic up there." Rove sighed and prepared to go back and ask Helena if she knew anything about it.

"Let's look around and see if there's a coffin of Ravenclaw and Helena."

Shirley nodded, and headed north, while Rove searched west, only to soon come to an end in the west, and there was nothing but the black rock wall.

"Rove! Ralph! Shirley suddenly shouted, "Come and see this!" ”

When Rove heard this, he ran briskly north, and at last stopped beside the ponytailed girl, and looked into the distance, where he saw the stone steps spreading downward, and at the end of which was a small lake.

In the middle of the lake, there is a small island, on the island grows a towering ancient tree, the trunk of the tree is as thick as four or five people hugging, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the whole lake is shrouded underneath.

The branches of the tree were covered with silver leaves, shining in the darkness, and the branches were shining with golden light...... Apple.

Rove was stunned and muttered, "Golden apple." ”

He suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if he had seen something, and suddenly said:

"This golden apple tree is from Avalon...... It was probably the seed that Professor Ravenclaw brought back and planted here. ”

"How do you know?" Shirley asked curiously, "Did you hear Ravenclaw mention it a thousand years ago?" ”

"Nope." Rove shook his head, stretched out his hand to point into the distance, and whispered, "Look there...... On the trunk of the tree, there is a blood-colored human face. ”

"I saw an elderberry tree in Newmengard with a human face on its trunk, and Grindelwald told me that the species came from Avalon.

He also gave me a seed, which I planted in a box. ”

Shirley stood on tiptoe and tried to look into the distance, but unfortunately it was too far away, and her eyesight was far inferior to Rove's, and she couldn't see the faces mentioned by the teenager at all.

"I'll take you to the island," said Rove, "and you can see it there." ”

Shirley snorted, and was about to open the box and take out the broomstick, but Rove smiled:

"Don't bother, I'll fly over with you."

Before the ponytail girl could react, Rove had already picked her up horizontally, jumped up directly from the ground, and slowly flew towards the center of the lake.

Shirley was held in her arms, not struggling, but her eyelashes fluttered, and she looked at his side face openly.

As he flew to the middle of the lake, Rove saw a branch hanging low, and on it there were two plump golden apples, and he said softly:

"Shirley, take them off and come back and taste them...... The elderberry planted by Grindelwald has the effect of quickly restoring its magic just by eating leaves.

This is a fruit, and after eating, it must have miraculous effects. ”

The girl hummed and raised her hand to grab the apple, but I don't know if it was lying in the boy's arms, which made her a little weak, or whether the apple was too tightly connected to the branch, she pulled it twice, but she didn't pick it off.

Rove immediately changed his holding position, his arms gently upward, holding Shirley's peach-like hips up, allowing her to exert more strength.

But it's okay not to support it, after holding it, Shirley's breathing instantly became short.

She didn't wear a thick nun's robe, she changed her clothes, and through the soft, thin material, she could clearly feel the young man's palm imprint on it.

Shirley didn't know if it was the temperature of Rove's palm or her own sake, but her buttocks were hot anyway.

The ponytail girl's ears were red and she didn't make a sound.

Rove noticed that there was something unusual about the girl in his arms, and lowered his head and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Shirley glared at him with resentful eyes, the girl in the dark was delicate and picturesque, her face was stained with red clouds, and she just shook her head and said, "No...... Nothing, I'm fine. ”

The two apples were picked for more than ten minutes, making both Rove and Shirley sweat profusely.

The boy couldn't help but sigh...... Avalon is so different even from Apple!

Since he was so tired, the flight speed had to be slowed down, and at a distance of several hundred meters, Rove held the slender and soft Shirley and flew for more than ten minutes.

I'm afraid they both swim faster than the two of them.

Of course, Rove hugged the girl, and the girl held the full golden apple, which became a beautiful scenery on the lake.

It's a pity that no one can see it.

Once on the island, Rove put Shirley down and looked around.

He still didn't see the coffins of Ravenclaw and Helena, but he did see a human-tall statue under the tree.

It was a statue of a golden mermaid with three heads, faces facing three directions, and six arms, but sharing a single body.

The mermaid's six hands, each holding the following:

Crosses, chests, sickles,

and three torches that glow blue.

Rove stared at the box, and Shirley was drawn to the cross, and both couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

In an instant, the two of them blurred in front of each other, and it seemed that everything was gone, only a thick mist.
