Maple could read some of Nicolame's notes, but it wasn't because he was gifted, but because he had a foundation in physical chemistry and advanced mathematics.

Although many years after graduation, learning without using it is equivalent to invalidation, and a lot of his knowledge has been returned to the teacher. However, in the past five years of the college entrance examination, I have frequently done various questions and formulas, and the content and formulas of the exercises may have been forgotten, but the scientific thinking developed is not so easy to erase.

With such a foundation in the past, Maple can overtake Hermione's talent by a little bit.

Alchemy is complex and all-encompassing, but a lot of the knowledge in it has something in common, and the application of alchemy in potions is related to biological knowledge.

Mathematics is the mother of all sciences, and this applies not only to the secular world, but also to the wizarding world. Many formulas in alchemy are calculated using mathematical calculations.

Maple took advantage of a lot of convenience before the crossing, and once again retained his position as a scholar. After spending a lot of time looking through Nicolame's notes, Hermione and Maple discussed it and found that they had lost to each other again, and they couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and depressed.

"-Miss Jack-of-all-trades-second-" On this day, the word was overheard in the common room, and both Maple and Hermione couldn't help but look away.

"Who are you talking about?" Maple walked over and asked, and among the people he was talking to was an acquaintance, none other than Ron's sister Ginny.

"Who else, that Celia Doraks." The girl who was talking to Ginny said, and the rush between the words was similar to Ron's attitude towards Hermione in the first place.

"Hi Maple!"

"Hi Ginny!" Maple and Ginny greeted each other.

"Maple, are you the one who advocated the protection of unicorns?" The girl next to Ginny said in surprise.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

"Oh, there, I'm Ginny's best friend and roommate, Recy Clan!" This is the transfer student who is two years older than Ginny in the same grade, and he talks like a big sister next door. That's why Ginny talked to her very much. And after spending some time with Ginny, Raisie saw through Ginny's thoughts about Harry, but instead of laughing, she encouraged Ginny, which made Ginny even more dependent on this big sister.

"Hello, Miss Crand." Maple said.

"Hello, Mr. Arribas, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Reese." Raisie speaks very casually, and it is her attitude that makes it easy for her to make more friends.

"Reese, who is that Celia Dorakus you are talking about?" Maple asked with interest, and Hermione, who was over there, quietly pricked up her ears to hear.

In addition to Maple, have you met a new opponent?

"She's a new Ravenclaw freshman, the white-faced girl from the Sorting House." Ginny said that there were only a dozen or so students who were evenly distributed to each house each year, and as soon as Ginny said that, Maple immediately remembered that she had paid more attention to the girl she had paid more attention to when she was in the sorting house.

"She, like Hermione, completed the transformation of matches in the first lesson, and the Charms class was successful in less than a lesson. And she didn't need the prompting of the seniors to pass the knocker of their academy tower herself. Ginny said, with a look of admiration.

"She's also said to have received a special Ravenclaw reward!" Raisie added that she had been studying magic for two years, but she couldn't compare to a freshman who was two years younger than herself, which made Raisie feel very unhappy, but she was still willing to share what she knew with Maple and them.

"What special reward?" Maple asked curiously.

"The Ravenclaw common room has its own library, which is said to have been moved from by the founder of the college, but this is only a small part of the collection that Ms. Ravenclaw has left behind. Most of the vacancies in the shelves were now filled by former students of Ravenclaw, and she had placed her truly precious collection in another hidden place. Seeing the interested eyes of Maple and Ginny, Reese said happily.

"How do I get into this room?" Hermione couldn't help but come over and ask.

"Extraordinary ingenuity is the most precious treasure of mankind, and the test she set is said to be on the bronze knocker of Ravenclaw." Raese replied.

"That strange eagle!"

"Yes, unlike other houses, which change their passwords after a while, Ravenclaw students must answer the eagle's head knocker question to enter the common room, and they can enter if they answer correctly. If the Hawk's Head knocker thinks that your answer is very good, or if you still stay in the same place after answering the question, then the Eagle Head Knocker will continue to choose some more difficult questions to ask you, and if you can give a satisfactory answer to all the questions asked by the knocker, it will open a door to that secret treasure trove for you. ”

"But not many of the Ravenclaw students have been able to pass the test of the eagle's head knocker and get a book from the treasury."

Maple immediately wanted to visit the Ravenclaw Tower, and seeing Hermione's expression, she was eager to see the Ravenclaw collection.

Unable to hold back, Maple and Hermione formed a group to the Ravenclaw Tower, where Ginny and Reese followed, wanting to see it.

The entrance to the common room of Ravenclaw, located on the west side of the castle, at the top of the Ravenclaw Tower. There was only an old bare wooden door, with no handle or keyhole, and no portrait of the fat lady, but only an eagle-shaped bronze knocker that was the one the most famous in the school for asking strange questions.

Obviously, the knocker is a hawk-shaped, why does everyone only call it an eagle head knocker? It's not because the hawkbeak of the knocker is the part that asks the question, which shows everyone's resentment towards this eaglet.

Because he couldn't answer Kitty Hawk's strange question, countless students from other colleges who wanted to enter the Ravenclaw tower were left behind, and even the students of Ravenclaw College were locked out of the tower overnight because they couldn't answer the bronze knocker question.

Maple walked up first, knocked on the door, and the bronze knocker immediately seemed to come to life, and the eagle's beak on the knocker opened, and said in a magnetic and mysterious voice: "Chicken or egg, which one comes first?" ”

Maple was about to reply, but the words of the eagle-headed knocker were not finished: "From the students of the outer court, I hope you can say a new insight. ”

In other words, the old answer of the Ravenclaw students, I can't use it myself!

"Eggs!" It didn't take long for Maple to speak, and everyone was stunned, because everyone who knew Ravenclaw knew that such a simple answer would not make sense.

But Maple's words are not over: "If God created all things, it was that there were chickens, and then God gave them the ability to reproduce, and after the chickens there were eggs." ”

"If there is no use of gods, and everything appears on its own, then the emergence of new species except for special beings such as the phoenix will either come from the cross-breeding of other species, or from the self-evolution of organisms. Hippogriffs and Hippogriffs are both new species that are cross-bred with other creatures.

There is also a dangerous creature listed by the Ministry of Magic as 5X, the basilisk Basrisk, which is a creature created by the Dark Wizard. Use black magic to make a seven-year-old rooster lay eggs when Sirius is in the sky, and then hatch them under the belly of a toad. The result was a terrifying species that was very different from the chicken, with the appearance and most of the features of a snake, and in addition to its deadly fangs, it also had large eyes that would kill you when it came into contact with it.

As for the self-sporadic mutation of genes in the process of biological evolution, it is difficult for the embryo of a new life to change very much, so it is very likely that the changes occur around the moment of birth. ”

That is, around the moment when the fertilized egg is formed!

"Of course, there is also the possibility of degradation from stronger organisms. For example, vampires, the first generation of the blood clan is the strongest, and the second and third generations, from generation to generation, will become weaker and weaker. ”

"That's beautiful! By the way, what genes are you talking about? The eagle's head knocker approvingly, the correctness of the answer is not the point, the process of intermediate reasoning is the key to the door knocker test.

"The life code of living beings, each living thing has its own life code, which contains all the genetic information of each race's blood type, appearance, organs, and bones. Moreover, organisms that are closely related to each other will also have some identical or similar sequences genetically. ”

"I see!" Having been here for thousands of years, the bronze knocker naturally didn't have the opportunity to learn about Muggle science, so it didn't know anything about genes, but the theories and ideas of genes allowed it to expand its thinking. Like the Sorting Hat, the Eagle Head Knocker has a mind of its own.

The result of working with others is always better than paying more attention to the work you have done on your own.

Therefore, compared to the Sorting Hat, which incorporates the thinking of the Big Four, the doorring that has been given wisdom by only the Ravenclaw woman may have stronger thinking ability.

Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the Big Four of Hogwarts, is a witch but the toughest of the Big Four, moving the library to her house tower and casting powerful magic on all the girls' dormitories, not allowing men to enter. On top of that, she could also be the most powerful of the Big Four.

"And one more question, how did you know about Basilisk Basrisk?" The eagle head knocker asked with interest.

"Because I'm afraid of death, I'm very sad about some dangerous things, and I want to know more about it to prevent it." Maple lied without blinking an eye.

"What's behind the nothingness?" The eagle's head knocker asked a second question, and then said, "If you can answer this question, I will meet your request." ”

The eagle's head knocker seemed to have understood Maple and Hermione's thoughts.

"Nothingness may be the beginning of all things, or it may be the end of all things. Behind the nothingness, there may be a zero of nothingness, but it can also be an all-encompassing infinity. Nothingness exists only on theory, and we may be infinitely close to nothingness, but we can never reach nothingness. ”

"Like life, death is the end of one life and the beginning of the next. Death has not completely disappeared for us, we still have souls to continue to exist, we can choose to continue to walk on and start a new life, or we can continue to linger on this earthly world and turn into ghosts! ”

"Excellent answer, congratulations, Ravenclaw's private collection will be open for you. However, you can only choose one of the books inside, go back and study them carefully, extraordinary wisdom is the most precious treasure of mankind, and each treasure in it will make you enjoy it for a lifetime, please cherish them.

As a reward for your wisdom, you can only enjoy the books you get, and you can't borrow them from others. And you don't have to send it after you take it, it will come back automatically after the end of the semester. ”
