Chapter 117: A Useless Crown

Grindelwald had traveled to Avalon, and according to him, every tree there had a blood-colored human face.

Rove had seen Grindelwald's elderberry and Ravenclaw's golden apple tree, and indeed it were.

But the olive tree in front of me is completely different, it actually has a Ravenclaw face.

Rove reached out and stroked it gently, and to his surprise, the face was not only free of the roughness of the bark, but felt as smooth and delicate as a woman's skin.

The boy rubbed his fingers for a moment, then pressed his ear closer to it, holding his breath and listening.

Shirley asked softly, "Can you see me?" ”

Rove shook his head and said, "I can't hear you." ”

When approaching the bloody faces of elderberries and golden apple trees, you can hear a sound similar to the beating of a heart, but Ravenclaw's cheeks do not have that beating.

Of course, those cheeks are not as smooth as this face, and they are very pleasant to the touch.

The boy wanted to cut open the branch to see if it would also bleed, but after thinking about it for a long time, he gave up.

This olive tree is special, and it's obviously related to Ravenclaw, so don't hurt it.

Roff's research was fruitless, so he simply ignored it, and sat side by side with Shirley under the tree, looking at the calm lake with a shimmering light.

The boy suddenly realized that there seemed to be one missing, and he looked around and wondered, "Where did Hermione go?" ”

"Hermione...... Listen to me about this tree from Avalon, the fruit and leaves will have a miraculous effect when taken. ”

Shirley reached out and smoothed her bangs on her ear, and said softly, "She went to her room to look for a book, to see if Ravenclaw had left a record of the olive tree." ”

"There are so many books, when will I find this?"

"Hermione looks motivated anyway." Shirley laughed, "She just said that she wanted to finish reading all the books that Ravenclaw left behind." ”

Rove smiled knowingly, this is indeed something Hermione can do, but after thinking about it, he still sighed:

"It's a great idea, but I'm afraid it's hard to put it into practice."

According to the letter, the books contained the magic of ancient wizards and the notes of Ravenclaw himself...... The content must be extremely obscure and difficult, and it is not something that ordinary people can learn.

Hermione did work hard, arguably the hardest working student Rove had ever seen...... Not one of them!

But there are some knowledge that you really can't grasp by studying hard.

This reminded him of the classic question he had seen in his previous life:

Why didn't Guo Jing print a large number of copies of the Nine Yin True Scripture, and when everyone learned it, they would fight against the Yuan army together?

The reason is simple...... I can't learn.

The books of Newton and Einstein can be bought by everyone, and they can be regarded as a copy of everyone's hand, and cutting-edge papers can also be downloaded from the Internet - these can be regarded as the "Nine Yin True Scriptures".

But I haven't seen a lot of physicists...... There are quite a few civil sciences.

This kind of high-end knowledge is talented, and it is really not something that anyone can learn.

Rove does not deny Hermione's IQ, she is the first in her grade, and if her IQ is poor, then there will be no smart people at Hogwarts.

But Hermione wasn't really a genius.

The real geniuses are Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Voldemort, and Shirley is also a genius, but only in the field of Transfiguration.

Similarly, Rove, who inherited the Ravenclaw Vault, like Hermione, really didn't have the ability to learn that knowledge.

"What if you use a Ravenclaw crown?" Shirley was curious, "Isn't it rumored that it has magical properties that increase the wisdom of the wearer?" ”

Rove smiled bitterly, he bent down and reached out to pull out a piece of grass, dusted off the soil, chewed it in his mouth, and said softly:

"The first time I got the crown, I put it on my head and tried to solve the Muggle Poingar conjecture and the Riemann hypothesis."

Although Shirley didn't know what these two were, when she saw Rove's expression, she knew that it must be difficult, and she asked, "And then?" ”

"My head went blank and I couldn't figure it out." Rove shook his head, "I lowered the difficulty again, tried a few spells that I wasn't very proficient in, and when I cast them, I still wasn't very proficient. ”

"So, that crown doesn't increase wisdom?" Shirley wondered:

"Just because Ravenclaw is so smart that others think it's the crown?"

"That's what I asked Hufflepuff too." Rove spat out the grass roots and whispered:

"But she told me that the crown could really increase a person's IQ by a large amount, but only Ravenclaw knew how to use it."

Shirley was silent, and after a moment, she comforted, "Maybe there will be a way to use it in those books in the secret room." ”

"I hope so." Rove closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and leaned lazily against the trunk of the tree.

"That's right, Rove...... When I was at the door just now, I saw that your face was ugly, and your forehead was covered with sweat, what happened? Shirley asked.

"When I opened the book, I showed up in a strange room." Rove opened his eyes, rubbed his cheeks, and said slowly:

"In that room, there was a sealed box, which seemed to be alive, and it was constantly beating, and on the box was a big tree growing on it."

"There's also a blood-colored human face on that tree, and it's been calling out to Ravenclaw, and then I woke up."

The ponytailed girl pondered for a moment, then wondered:

"Treasure Chests and Trees...... Isn't this the scene from the third painting in Nicol's Book of Abraham? ”

"Yes." Rove looked solemn and bowed, "I saw the sword and a hat at the time, and I thought that the scene described in that painting was related to Gryffindor.

But I didn't expect to see it in the book left by Ravenclaw. ”

"The entrance to the chamber was set by Ravenclaw, which shows that the scene in that room is also what she left behind and wants you to see." Shirley said.

"That's right." Rove turned around, looked up, and stared at the Ravenclaw face on the olive tree.

Although her eyes were closed, it was as if she was staring, listening, contemplating deep and distant thoughts.

The boy muttered, "Royina Ravenclaw, what do you want to convey to me?" ”

Rove remembered the countless eyes on the tree again, and the boy suddenly had an inexplicable horror that his hairs stood on end.

The ponytail girl watched as Rove pursed her lips and her brow furrowed, vaguely sensing that he had some kind of hidden unease, a tension that bordered on confusion.

Shirley sat on her knees with her legs bent and folded, and reached out to touch the boy's head.

Rov slowly lay back and rested the back of his head on the ponytail's bouncy legs, then closed his eyes in weariness.

Shirley untied the amulet around her neck and hung it around Rove's neck, and she held out a finger to gently smooth the young man's frowning brow.

In the distance, Helena's singing voice suddenly sounded, her voice, ethereal and graceful, echoing on the twilight island.

Shirley listened quietly for a while, and when she looked down again, she found that Rove in her arms had fallen asleep.
