Chapter 135: Thirty Seventy-Nine Thousand Four Hundred and Eight Futures
Little by little, Royina explained to Calvin how to make the tiara. After listening to it, Calvin was convinced, and it was the first time he had heard of alchemical items that affected the operation of his mind.
Calvin flipped the silver mirror back into his pocket and said sincerely, "Lady Ravenclaw, your wisdom is still superior to the present even after a thousand years. ”
Ravenclaw smiled slightly, "Thank you for the compliment, Calvin, can you fulfill my request?" ”
Calvin was a little hesitant, not because he didn't believe Ravenclaw, but because he was a little curious: why Mrs. Ravenclaw didn't want to see her daughter, but wanted to walk around the modern world.
Calvin hesitated for a long time, but finally asked with an unspeakable expression, "I would like to ask, Ms. Ravenclaw, why do you want to see what modern society looks like?" ”
Ravenclaw wrapped his fingers around his long, flamboyant burgundy hair.
"I, I'm curious about the Muggle world, and I want to see what they've become a thousand years from now."
"Do you value Muggles?" Calvin asked.
Ravenclaw nodded, "I'm the friendliest Muggle of the four, Salazar doesn't trust Muggles, and Godric and Helga also advocate that wizards should be separated from Muggles. I thought we should take the initiative to learn from Muggles. ”
"Learn their system, learn their culture, and knead the wizards into a whole, a country. So that the wizard has the strength to survive. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"I... I saw everything very early, and my wisdom led my eyes across thousands of years of time and space, even two thousand years, and finally saw a great war break out between humans and wizards. ”
Calvin was a little surprised, but thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible, and asked, "Then who won in the end?" ”
"There are wins and losses, but wizards lose more and win less," Ravenclaw said, "and I didn't see just one future, I saw thirty-seventy-nine thousand four hundred and eight in the last moments of my life. The Wizard won only a tenth of them.
I saw Muggles make highly efficient killing machines, and the stakes of my time were nothing compared to theirs. ”
"So I left this memory to see where the future goes."
Calvin fell silent, as a wizard, as one of the most powerful wizards of his time, Calvin wanted to loudly refute her.
But Calvin knew she was right after only a moment's thought. Weak wizards simply can't face Muggles armed with efficient killing machines.
Calvin instantly felt that the woman in front of him had grown taller, and for more than a decade, he had been working to overthrow pure-blood families on behalf of half-bloods and Muggle origins. Lady Ravenclaw began thinking about the survival of the entire wizarding world a thousand years ago.
"I admire you, Lady Ravenclaw, not only in magic, but in thought. If a thousand years ago, I would have stood firmly on your side. Calvin said respectfully.
"But why don't you take the initiative to see your daughter?"
"Alas," Ravenclaw sighed softly, "it was the only mistake of my life, and the place where I was inferior to my mother. ”
"I've neglected Helena too much, and I've been too intelligent to understand her mediocre view of magic. In fact, when my magic grows to a certain level, the world in my eyes is different from the world in her eyes. ”
"Perhaps this is the curse of knowledge."
"So, my poor daughter began to be jealous of me, and finally, in my old age, she stole my crown. I don't blame her, so how can a mother blame her daughter? ”
"But I won't take the initiative to go to her, she should take the initiative to come to me to apologize, whether it's here or in the world of the dead."
The image of Ravenclaw was a little fuller in Calvin's heart, and he couldn't help but lament in his heart that having such a mother was both Helena's luck and Helena's misfortune.
Calvin took a silver bowl from his sleeve and conjured a knife, slitting his fingertips, and blood dripping into the bowl. As soon as the blood was below the bottom of the bowl, Ravenclaw said, "Almost." ”
Ravenclaw then took the silver bowl and spilled the blood from it. Calvin clearly felt that the Ravenclaw on the other side had become more bright and moving, more like a living person.
With a flick of his left hand, Ravenclaw transformed two chairs and a table into a pegasus, and rode up like a dashing female knight, "I'll be back in three weeks, and I'll answer any questions you have when the time comes." ”
With that, the pegasus moved in unison, and only to hear the sound of the horse's hooves, Ravenclaw left the Room of Requirement.
"Three weeks?" Calvin thought to himself that it would seem like he would have to wait another three weeks to solve the Longbottoms' problem.
But Helena's problem was solved. The gap between the witch, who was very proud at heart, and her mother was too great.
The secret of the crown was told by Ravenclaw without a hint of reserve, and the foolish daughter was jealous of the wisdom it bestowed on her mother.
In addition to marveling at Ravenclaw's magical prowess, Calvin admired her ideas that were ahead of her time. But Calvin, after carefully recalling Ravenclaw's views, always felt as if he had heard something like that somewhere.
Calvin quietly left the Room of Requirement, and it was time to restore the Ravenclaw crown, a relic of the Big Four.
A week later, in the Headmaster's office, Miss Gray saw the new Ravenclaw crown from Dumbledore.
"I didn't expect you to really recover." Even though Calvin had fulfilled his promise, Helena's tone was still full of pride.
Today, Calvin changed his look, and he wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, which made him look more calm.
"I told you, I'll fix it for you." Calvin said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Well," Helena muttered as she looked around the new crown a few times, "why does this crown look so small." ”
Calvin explained with some humility, "This is a normal wear and tear in the remastering process, but I promise that there is no loss of functionality, you can ask Headmaster Dumbledore, he has experienced it for himself." ”
Calvin only revealed that he had taken the materials to make the tiara and created this new pair of glasses for himself. These silver-rimmed glasses are functionally equivalent to a Ravenclaw crown.
Dumbledore nodded, "Indeed, Lady Gray, this crown does have the legendary ability to raise the mind, I can guarantee it." Are you going to take it? ”
Helena was still a little skeptical, but Dumbledore had spoken, and she couldn't say anything more, so she shook her head and said, "Forget it, it originally belonged to my mother, and I am not qualified to take it." Besides, it's useless to me, you can dispose of it, Headmaster. ”
