Chapter 557: A Magical Crown

The next day is Easter holidays, and Kyle gets up early and leaves the common room.

With the help of the Fat Friar, he first found Helena in the castle tower, and then arrived at Hogsmeade Station before nine o'clock.

I don't know if it's because of the Triwizard Tournament, but almost no one goes home during this year's Easter holiday, and Kyle is the only one in the entire prefect's box.

But that's fine, you don't have to look anywhere else.

As the train closes its doors and is about to start, Kyle pulls out the key Dumbledore gave him yesterday and whispers to him.

"Nicola May ......"

The whistle in his ears stopped abruptly, and when Kyle opened his eyes again, he was already at the gate of a familiar manor, with the imposing gate of the manor and two lifelike statues of dragons.

Kyle walked over curiously, remembering Nicol saying that the two statues were one of his most satisfying creations in recent centuries.

However, Kyle didn't see anything magical about these two statues, and felt that they were the same as the stone statues in the castle, the only difference was that there were a lot of complex magic symbols on the statues in front of him.

"Welcome, sir!"

There was a sharp voice in my ears.

Tata, the house-elf, was standing there, bowing to Kyle.

"The master asked Tata to pick him up."

"Excuse me, Tata." Kyle said.

Although it was invited by Nicol, it is more reassuring to have a house-elf to lead the way here.

"It's Tata's honor." Said the house-elf.

He then led Kyle into the manor, through the front yard and foyer, down a long hallway, and at the door of a nondescript room.

Tata took the initiative to step forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

Kyle also meets Nicolame. But not himself, but through a mirror.

Nicol's figure was reflected in the mirror, a bit like those portraits in the Headmaster's office.

"I'm glad to meet you, Kyle." Nicolamay in the mirror turned around and said, "The refining of the Philosopher's Stone has reached the most critical time, and I can't leave.

Luckily, I made this before. ”

As he spoke, Nicol in the mirror suddenly emerged from the mirror, and his whole body passed through the table to Kyle.

"Another application of the meditation pot." "What you're seeing now is just a memory," he explains. ”

Of course, even if he didn't explain, Kyle could tell that Nicol was fake.

In addition to the body wearing the table, the real Nicol can't walk so fast.

As the two spoke, Tata had silently exited the room and closed the door with his hand.

"You've received my letter to you, right?" Nicol said.

Kyle nodded.

"So...... Come here. ”

Nicol led Kyle forward to a shelf with a purple velvet cushion on the middle of the shelf, and a delicate crown on top of it.

Ravenclaw's Tiara.

The previous rust has disappeared, revealing its original appearance.

The silver color is silver overall, and it looks like a raven with outstretched wings, and the center is ...... That is, the part of the raven's body is a complete sapphire.

The restored crown looks unremarkable, and Kyle doesn't feel the slightest bit of magic on it, like an elaborate ornament.

"The most perfect alchemy technique, there is hardly any loss of magic power." Nicol lamented, "It took me almost three hundred years to do this.

"I think you've already guessed who the lady I was talking about in my letter was."

"I thought of a name." "But I'm not sure...... It's incredible. ”

"Actually, I'm the same." Nicol said, "I always thought that there was nothing that would surprise me anymore, until the other day I suddenly heard the sound of the crown...... That's when I almost fell out of my chair.

"But I think you should be doing better than me...... You've already seen her once, after all. ”

"So, is it really Roy Na Ravenclaw?" Kyle asked.

"Who else could it be but her?" Nicol laughed and said, "There's no way there's Albus's voice in the crown." ”

"That's scary." Kyle laughed too.

Dumbledore still hadn't known that the crown had been found, and neither Kyle nor Nicol had revealed a word.

After all, the crown is technically the property of the school, what if he insists on taking it back, at this point, the two have a surprisingly tacit understanding.

"Well, Miss Ravenclaw seems to want to talk to you alone, so I won't bother you...... Put the crown on your head. ”

Nicol then vanished, except for two faint flashes of light on the mirror against the wall.

Kyle looked at the crown in front of him and carefully removed it from the cushion.

The crown wasn't heavy, just like a normal book, and Kyle took a long breath and put it on his head.

The world in front of me seemed to brighten up all of a sudden.

Kyle only felt that his mind was clearer than ever, and some of the problems that had been bothering him for a long time were solved in an instant.

He knew why his "Vulcan Enlightenment" was so much worse than Dumbledore's own performance, he had always thought it was a matter of magic, but it didn't seem to be the case.

He didn't need to use mana to maintain the shape and stability of the flames, that would be a waste, he should have converted mana into a channeling spell in the first place.

In this way, he only needs to pull the spell, like flying a kite, as long as the string is in his hand, the kite will not get out of control.

I see...... No wonder Dumbledore had reminded him several times before to let him look at the booklet more.

Kyle subconsciously turned his head to look at the mirror by the wall.

In his eyes, the magic inscriptions carved on the frame suddenly came to life, and they bounced and lined up in front of Kyle.

It's like a Quidditch match.

Some of the Witches formed the Chaser, some of the Charms formed the Seeker, as well as the Golden Snitch, the Quaffle, and the Bludger.

They do their jobs and together they make a great game.

And their role in the game is also clear at a glance.

"It's incredible...... Kyle muttered to himself.

"That's because you already know it."

A strange and familiar cold female voice sounded in my ears.

"A crown cannot give people something that he does not have, and a person who does not understand the magic language at all will never be able to understand the role of this mirror, even if he wears a crown."

Then, the throbbing images disappeared.

Kyle suddenly felt a strong sense of loss in his heart, and he didn't want this magical state to go away, but to keep it forever.

In a trance, there seemed to be a wind blowing through, it was a kind of morning dewy wind, it was very cool, and the blowing on his body also made Kyle briefly regain consciousness.

"That's not right!"

Kyle gasped for air, cold sweat running down his forehead.

He finally understood what Nicol meant by what he said before, this feeling of being omniscient and omnipotent was indeed addictive.

He only experienced it for a few seconds before he became so addicted, and if it was a long time, after taking off the crown, he would definitely go crazy because he couldn't bear the huge drop.

Thinking of this, Kyle subconsciously reached out and wanted to take the crown off his head.

But it was like it was growing on his head, and it couldn't be dragged at all.
