All things are three at Hogwarts

"I choose to keep moving forward." Allen didn't hesitate at all. Wealth can be obtained through hard work and various means, but he has come to this point. There is no reason not to continue to complete the challenge. He wants to know what Ravenclaw left behind. What's the real reward?

"Game over." The ethereal voice sounded again.

For a moment, Allen felt as if a hook had been caught in his stomach. In a blink of an eye, he arrived at a place that looked like an office. The reason why it looked like an office was because the interior decoration was extremely luxurious. The four walls are filled with bookshelves filled with various books and scrolls, with various spells written in different languages ​​on the backs of their thick books. Various strange-shaped bottles and jars of different textures were placed on the tables around the room. The white contents in some transparent tubes that penetrated part of the wall seemed to be alive, constantly squirming, rolling and boiling inside. There was a faint musty smell floating in the space. Between the spices of potions and the strange smell of decay, the room smelled like a mixture of Snape's Potions classroom and the library. .

"Hello, Alan Harris." An extremely dignified and cold voice sounded not far from Alan.

Allen immediately turned around following the sound, amazed.

Behind the huge wrap-around stone desk inlaid with sapphires and carved from surprisingly large obsidian, a very graceful figure is sitting on a chair. This slightly transparent woman is extremely beautiful, so beautiful that people look up at her without daring to say anything. Blasphemous, even a little scary. Compared with the current Allen, she looks too tall. There is no trace of age on her face. The only clue is in her eyes; although her eyes are half-squinted and not fully opened, they look down slightly. His sight is as sharp and shining as the tip of a gun in a moonlit night, but it also contains deep memories.

Allen recognized this as Rowena Ravenclaw at a glance, because she was very similar to the statue in the Ravenclaw common room, but she was more majestic and agile than the statue.

"You Ravenclaw is indeed greedy enough." Rowena Ravenclaw spoke again. This time because she read a slightly longer sentence, her voice was as ethereal and sweet as poetry. She waved her hand. A chair was brought to the stone table by her. Allen, who sat down obediently, understood what she meant. The literal meaning of Ravenclaw is "Raven's Claw" or "Raven's Claw", and the hidden meaning of the name is "Greedy Predator".

"You should be the clearest about Ravenclaw's criteria for selecting students, aren't you, my dear lady? The intelligence must be superior to others, preferably wise, fair, shrewd, knowledgeable, smart, far-sighted, curious, and like to delve into things. student." Allen bowed deeply to Rowena Ravenclaw.

Whether as the founder of the academy or as a strong person, Rowena deserves Allen's respect. What's more, just like facing her statue before, Allen found that he had an inexplicable feeling of closeness to her.

"As a challenger who has reached this point, I think you have the right to call me Rowena or - Dean." Rowena Ravenclaw did not continue the topic, but corrected him to himself title.

"Yes, Dean." In Allen's mind, although Rowena Ravenclaw is the founder, Professor Flitwick is the Dean of Ravenclaw. However, it was too frivolous to call a woman who was much older than him by his first name when he had just met her, so Allen settled for the next best thing and could only call her Dean.

"Now that you've made it here, as long as you complete the last test, you can get my treasure." Rowena looked at Allen carefully and stared at Allen's face motionlessly.

"What is the final test?" Allen was confident in himself.

Ravenclaw sat on the chair and looked directly into Allen's eyes, "The last test is to make a magic stone that can turn stone into gold and achieve immortality."

"Philosopher's Stone? Please forgive me, why do you still want to make the Philosopher's Stone in your current form?" Allen was really curious. The Ravenclaw in front of him was no longer a living person, not even a ghost, just a little bit. Being imprisoned here is a bit like the soul fragments that need to be separated from a Horcrux.

"You mean that I'm obviously a wisp of remnant, but I want the Philosopher's Stone of immortality, right?" Rowena Ravenclaw's voice was as empty and indifferent as ever.

"When my daughter Helena stole my crown, I sent Barrow to find her. Then Barrow had a dispute with her and killed her. Although I knew that a ritual had a resurrection effect, I lacked the key materials. There was no way to use it to resurrect my daughter. Later, I originally wanted to look for the Resurrection Stone, but after in-depth research on the soul, I found that the Resurrection Stone could not resurrect the truly dead, but only summoned a kind of spirit from the underworld. A substance that is more real than the soul and more illusory than the entity. But this resurrection stone has no meaning to Helena who has become a ghost and remains in the mortal world. This child turned into a ghost out of guilt for me. And she never dared to come to see me." Rowena didn't mind telling Allen the ins and outs of the future, and said it in one breath. Perhaps during the long years of waiting, she had already prepared this answer to this question. s answer.

"But, you don't seem to need the Philosopher's Stone now..." Allen was still very puzzled.

"Yes, originally I wanted to find a longer way to accompany my daughter, but I didn't want to lose all future possibilities like becoming a ghost. So, I thought of the magic stone. Unfortunately, after I completed the final analysis of the refining temperature Before the final test, I..." Rowena generously told Allen these somewhat personal secrets: "So I split this fragment of my soul and designed this magic statue."

It seems that Rowena Ravenclaw's attainments in soul magic are no less than her achievements in alchemy.

Allen remembered that Voldemort's remnant soul also had the ability to think for himself and communicate with others, and the soul fragment left by Rowena Ravenclaw actually maintained the same effect for nearly a thousand years, and it seemed Her sanity was completely unaffected by the split soul.

"So, Allen, are you willing to accept the challenge? If you can complete the final steps according to my notes, you can take away all my wealth. If not, I will erase your memory and let you go." Rowena opened her half-closed and slightly bulging eyes, and Allen felt that the occlumency he had deployed in front of her had no effect, and he felt like he was naked in this gaze.

Realizing that the founder of Ravenclaw Academy called him by his first name, and feeling that he was not as 'extremely harsh' as ​​described in the history of magic, Allen spread his hands and tried to express his inner concerns. Come out: "I can accept the challenge, but I don't have the materials."

Rowena did not answer, but rotated a magic ball on the table counterclockwise three times. The wall on the right disappeared, and a huge alchemy room appeared in front of Allen. She handed a thick roll of parchment to Allen and disappeared without a trace.

Allen quickly flipped through the precious manuscript. The handwriting on it was very different from the other person's appearance. Not to mention it was crooked and sometimes it was probably written backwards without straightening it for convenience. It also contained Many drawings were drawn by the other party's own hands.

The most important material required for the Sorcerer's Stone, according to the manuscript, Allen found that it was already in the alchemical furnace next to it, but the production method related to it seemed to have been torn out by Ravenclaw on purpose and not given to him. As for the auxiliary materials, "Alex, Camoto, mercury, sulfur, yellow blood salt, no cursed unicorn blood." and other materials have also been prepared, and the alchemical techniques are also marked on the parchment. .

After reading through it once, Allen took out a copy of Jabber's Manual from the space. He remembered that the production of one of the alchemical products "Philosopher's Stone" was very similar to the Philosopher's Stone studied by Rowena Ravenclaw, except for some The names are different, but it can be concluded that the effect of the Philosopher's Stone is almost the same as that of the Philosopher's Stone.

Compared with the two, the most different point in the refining method is the furnace fire. The temperature of the furnace recorded in Jabbert's Manual is much higher than the temperature recorded by Rowena, but the refining method of the Philosopher's Stone in Jabbert's Manual is The production method is incomplete. Like the Ravenclaw manuscript, the production method of the important rough stone does not mention the production method at all.

No matter how hesitant it was to no avail, Allen decided to take a gamble and set the temperature according to Jabbert's instructions.
