All things are three at Hogwarts

Chapter 43 The Treasure of Ravenclaw (revised, typos corrected)

As soon as he said it, Allen neatly prepared the required materials in the order of addition, and placed them in the groove at the top of the corresponding marble column in the order of the six-pointed star.

On the left and right sides of the furnace are two raven and giant eagles that are emitting light. The giant eagle on the left is emitting silvery white light, and the raven on the right is emitting pure black mist - if the black mist can be regarded as light. If so, their beaks are pointed directly above the opening of the furnace crucible.

The surface of this furnace crucible is embossed with a giant dragon with five heads of different colors. The scales below its neck will change depending on the viewing angle. Among them, the one in the middle of the dragon sculpture has red dragon scales. The dragon's head poked out, and like the giant eagle and raven, his mouth was facing the top of the crucible. From the gap between the dragon's teeth, Allen saw the most important raw material of the magic stone, the unknown method of making it. rough stone.

The other blue, black, green and white dragon heads were activated one by one after Allen input magic power according to Ravenclaw's manuscript. Their mouths spit out something similar to the fire dragon's breath. These dragon flames were in People gathered around the stove, making the crucible hot in a short time.

In the mural facing the furnace, the sun and moon with human faces in the upper left and upper right corners appear simultaneously in the sky of the dark world in the painting. They move slowly at different speeds, indicating that they are a timing device.

Allen put in the materials one by one and adjusted the temperature of the five-headed dragon furnace according to the method that Jebo knew.

As the temperature gradually rises, the mouths of the two sculptures of the eagle and the raven gradually open wide.

Based on the information left by Ravenclaw at the scene, Allen placed the materials prepared by Ravenclaw in the two beaks one after another, mixed them and put them in, and closed the mouths again.

As the temperature increased, the giant eagle, raven and even the giant dragon began to open their mouths again - just like ruminating, the three were flowing slightly luminous mercury between liquid and gas. The black gelatinous substance that seemed to absorb all energy and the blood-red liquid that was transformed from the liquefaction of the original stone flowed out from it.

Although there are slight differences between the Ravenclaw manuscript and the description in Jabberw's experience, the records here are almost identical. They represent: mercury, used to transform the form of matter, and the function of turning stone into gold is due to its function. The functions provided are realized successfully. Pure black provides the function of absorbing substances and abilities from various materials during the alchemy process. Blood red, which is rich in vitality, can be used to make elixirs of immortality. It is missing from Ravenclaw's manuscripts and Jabbert's experience. The part is exactly how to make the bloody part. Judging from the fragments on some other pages, it seems that there is some evil process in making this rough stone that uses the life force of others. Allen thinks this may be the missing part in the Ravenclaw manuscript. A few pages of reasons.

Just like potions, which are originally a branch of alchemy, this is a boring and complicated process that requires adding the right materials at different times to make the finished product in the crucible change in the correct steps - Ai Lun can no longer tell how many hours he has been here, but he is also glad that this is not a blessing elixir that needs to be brewed for at least half a year, although they may also be careless and add this amount at an incorrect time. Ingredients that should not be added will waste all previous efforts or even cause other unpredictable dangers.

At the last moment of alchemy, Allen, who had no time to think too much about how to explain what he did during his disappearance, was about to add the most precious material into the crucible, which was the wings of the Hermes bird.

The wings were added to the furnace, instantly mixing all the various liquids in it, wrapping them all up, forming a dark green irregular round mud - this is also the failed form recorded in the Ravenclaw manuscript. Recalling Jebo's experience, Allen gritted his teeth and once again output magic power to increase the temperature of the furnace. The hot flames in the mouths of the dragon-shaped reliefs on the surface of the crucible twisted and danced desperately in the furnace.

The dark green mud could no longer hold up under such high temperatures and could not maintain its original appearance. It slowly melted from mud to liquid again. Allen watched with joy as the dark green mass was gradually dyed with blood red.

"It's done!" Allen was ecstatic. During the refining process, he had completely forgotten that he was trapped in the statue, forgot that he had to complete the task, and was completely immersed in alchemy. The made magic stone lay quietly in the middle of the furnace. Allen extinguished the fire and looked at the irregular red crystal stone with streamers of light streaking across its surface from time to time.

"Dean, did you say before that this was the last test?" Allen reminded the air, but he did not notice that the founder of Ravenclaw, who appeared again with his words, successfully performed magic on him. Shi has any emotional changes.

"Alan Harris, you have successfully completed all the tests...you are qualified to obtain my treasure." After saying that, Rowena placed a shining crown on the table, its appearance was the same as before The crowns Allen received were no different, but Allen was sensitive to the fact that the magic contained in them was not on the same level.

"The crown you used to open the statue is just my early work. Although it is very commemorative, it cannot add real wisdom to the holder. Otherwise, Helena who wears it will not be blinded by greed. , made an act of defecting. And this crown -" Rowena pointed to the crown and said with satisfaction, "This crown was successfully developed before my physical death. It not only allows people to keep their minds clear at all times, but also allows you to Seeing the true desire in your heart will keep you from going astray, it will give you true wisdom, and now it is yours.”

Then, Ravenclaw took out the tower model that Allen had seen before, "The function of this mobile tower is similar to the mansion spell invented by an ancient wizard named Mordenkainen. The functions of some of the rooms are very useful to you." It is very useful. This model is actually like an independent door key that you can carry with you. The actual location of the tower is not accessible through physical means, which ensures that you have a safe shelter.

Most importantly, it contains a large number of books that I have collected throughout my life, and the collection in it has been supplemented and updated over the years through the library I left in the Ravenclaw common room, when professors and students Put a new manuscript into it, and a corresponding copy will appear on the library bookshelf in the tower.

Although it is not appropriate for you to start studying and researching right now, because my personal collection of magical secret knowledge is too obscure and dangerous for you, and the books collected through my common room library are uneven, There are even many knowledge theories that have been proven wrong by later generations, so it is impossible to distinguish and filter without a certain foundation. However, if you can read and study carefully in a few years, this knowledge will build a path for you to the top of the magician. Ladder, this is the most valuable treasure I leave to you. "

Allen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Like the previous tests, although they all sounded almost impossible, in fact, the things in his hands were just enough for him to complete them as if they were scripted. It was a bit like Dumbledore this year. During the growth challenge arranged for Harry, Allen felt like he was being manipulated by the other party.

But after Rowena Ravenclaw finished speaking, her face was filled with relief, and her figure gradually faded, as if she was about to disappear at any time.

"Alan, you can also take away the Philosopher's Stone. After all, it has no effect on me now, but it is very precious to you. As a soul fragment, I will pursue my soul body and make her whole again. .After I leave, this statue will no longer serve as a test, it will lose its magical support, and its internal space will disappear with my departure. Finally, let us meet again on the journey of life, please help me Taking care of Helena is also your responsibility after inheriting my treasure."

Allen accepted the treasure and bowed deeply to pay tribute to this strong man. Although he didn't know how to take care of a ghost, and with the magic stone - although it was still too early for him, he could already have it. He who makes the elixir will basically not die from aging. Obviously, as long as he does not die from an accident, it will be a long time before he can meet Ravenclaw again.

When he raised his head, light suddenly flickered under his feet. The bright light made Allen quickly cover his eyes and the feeling of being hooked in the stomach came again. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was already in the Ravenclaw common room. There was no one in the lounge, but judging from the sky outside the window and the noise coming from the Quidditch field, it seemed that contrary to Allen's perception, time had not actually passed long.
