Connor's Hogwarts

"The changing pattern of the stairs in this castle corresponds to the stairs in Hogwarts. What does this prove?" Connor said excitedly: "This proves that the way to leave here is hidden in these changing patterns."

Although Arturia also saw the connection, she couldn't figure out the specific relationship: "Master, why are you so sure? Maybe this is just a coincidence..."

"No, it can't be a coincidence. Come with me." Connor jumped down the stairs and walked downstairs. As he walked, he said, "Actually, I had doubts before, because we have worked hard to observe the stairs for a year. The rules don’t seem to be of any use.”

CONAN: It's not us, it's me.

"In fact, as long as you notice the changes in the West Tower stairs in the leap month of a leap year and hold the crown, you can come here. The changing rules of the stairs have no effect at all."

The more Connor talked, the brighter his eyes became: "It turns out that the information hidden in the law of change is not the key to finding this place, but the key to leaving here."

Artoria was stunned, and then asked: "So Master, what is the message hidden in these stairs? Have you thought of it?"

"Saber, do you remember how many flights of stairs there are in the west tower?"

"Two...twenty paragraphs"

"That's right, including the stairs that brought us here, there are 21 flights. If we add..."

While speaking, Connor had already led the two of them out of the castle, passed through the underground passage, and returned to the bottom of the empty island when they first came here.

Connor pointed at the seven flights of stairs floating in front of him and showed a proud smile: "...So these are only 28 flights of stairs. In fact, we still have one flight of stairs that we haven't found yet, saber..."

"So, what are your plans for the future, Helena."

On the top of the castle tower, Rowena and Helena were still confronting each other after some secret talks. The atmosphere between them was not as stiff as before, but it was still not harmonious.

"..."

Seeing that Helena didn't say a word, Rowena said the sharpest words in the most flat tone: "It seems that you don't have the answer, also, you never understand what you want to do, even after nearly a thousand years. Any progress is the same as those stupid mortals."

"you..."

Rowena just looked at Helena calmly, and she was defeated. Helena avoided her eyes and replied in a low voice: "I want to follow that boy back..."

"Then continue to pretend to be a ghost and continue to waste time in ignorance?"

"That's my business, right? What does it have to do with you?"

Rowena just looked at her without speaking, and Helena subconsciously looked away.

Rowena said lightly: "And Conner Lake and the others have no way to leave here so soon. For the rest of the time, think about what you are going to do."

"Why didn't you say that boy could easily find a way to leave?"

"Finding a way doesn't mean you can leave... I set up these barriers to keep the people here. If they want to leave, they have to stay here for at least a year. My Ravenclaw disciples must get used to it. To keep company with lonely time..."

However, at this moment, suddenly, a piece of blue light lit up around the two of them, and Rowena suddenly turned his head, staring at the piece of blue light that lit up on the ground.

Although there was no emotion on Rowena's expression, Helena felt that she was shocked, and Helena also turned to look at what happened.

They saw the blue light slowly becoming clear, and then rising. What appeared in front of them was a spiraling upward staircase. As the blue light floated up, the staircase continued to extend upward... and finally formed a A staircase that seems to reach the sky...

Then they heard a familiar voice

"Why is it so dark and long here...Where have we been?"

"Dad, I'm tired, hug me."

"Okay, daddy hug."

"Master, look at the bright light in front of you, it's the exit."

"Come on, let's go home hahahaha"

Then... Connor and the three of them came out of the stairwell on the ground, and then saw the two Ravenclaws who were looking at them blankly. Several of them stood there at the same time, looking at each other.

After coming here for a while, Connor scratched his head to break the inexplicably awkward atmosphere:

"Ah...Long time no see, ladies...it turns out that this staircase leads to the top floor..."

"..." We haven't been separated for half a day... Helena looked at Rowena with a strange expression... Didn't they agree that they would stay for a year? You stinky sister is here Fooling me

"..." Rowena's expression did not change at all, she said calmly: "Sure enough, this puzzle is nothing to you, Connor Lake, it seems that you are in Hogwarts Castle. You were already aware of my arrangement at that time, and you are worthy of being a student of my Ravenclaw House, and you have done a good job."

"..." Helena opened her mouth, hesitating whether it was appropriate to speak at this time... In the end, she chose silence.

"Hahahaha, no prizes, no luck, no luck." Connor walked out of the stairs, looked up at the spiral staircase that kept going up in circles, and said, "So I just need to keep walking up to get back to school. "

"Yes, originally at this time I should have recognized your identity and reached a contract with you...but this step has been done before, so you can leave directly now."

Rowena nodded, without any intention of holding back, and directly explained to Connor.

"Um, well...before I leave, can I ask a few questions Ms. Ravenclaw."

"Okay, let's ask."

"Can I come back after I leave?"

"Since you have discovered the secret I hid in Hogwarts Castle, then I think you should have the answer."

Connor was stunned for two seconds, and then he understood what Ravenclaw meant, which meant that if he wanted to come here again, he could rely on the opportunity that only appeared once in four years.

"Oh...Okay, can I go downstairs to get something now? I just walked in a hurry and left something behind." Connor looked around and talked to him. Only then did he remember the precious magic in the room. Material

"" Rowena looked at Connor without speaking.

"Ahem." Connor couldn't stand her sincere gaze and changed the subject: "By the way, Ms. Ravenclaw, look at this."

Connor stretched his neck, revealing the necklace around his neck: "This is a magic prop made of a chain of fate. Can you help unlock it?"

Ravenclaw reached out and touched it, and said, "It's not a complicated contract magic. The knowledge I gave you is enough to solve this little problem."

After saying that, she backed away and continued to stare at Connor expressionlessly, as if to say: Is there anything else? It's okay. Just leave quickly.

""So can't you help untie it? Connor sighed and said, "I didn't expect to leave so soon. This is a small gift. I hope you don't dislike it."

Then, Connor took a copy of Facebook from his pocket and handed it to Ravenclaw.

Rowena: ""

"Ahem, this is a magic prop I made myself, I hope you like it."

Rowena nodded, accepted it, and continued to look at Connor.

"" This senior is so ignorant that he doesn't even know how to return a gift. Connor sighed and took out something from his pocket.

"This is your crown. There is an evil soul inside. Can you help get rid of it?" This crown is equivalent to an unfinished version of the mark. It is of little use to Connor, but he wants to come back here again. With the help of the crown, Connor didn't want to ruin it.

Ravenclaw took the crown, glanced at it and said, "I don't have the ability to destroy it."

"Eh"

"My current soul strength is not as strong as the soul inside. Forcible interference will cause damage to my soul, and I will not help."

""It's really hard to pull off the iron cock. You are making it difficult for me to do this.

"And soul magic is the field I'm least good at, maybe Salazar can help you better."

"Hey, you're talking about Slytherin"

Ravenclaw nodded, returned the crown to Connor, and said: "Of the four of us, Salazar has the deepest research on the soul. Aren't you looking for the treasure of Hogwarts? Then when you find him Ask him for advice again.”

"Um" Feelings, one of the four elders among you is still alive. Connor complained silently. Finally, he put away the crown, scratched his head and said, "Then I'll take my leave."

Rowena didn't speak, and looked at Helena beside him, but Helena glanced at Connor and said, "You guys go first, I want to stay here."

After speaking, he fell silent without saying a word.

Connor looked left and right, but didn't understand what happened between the two.

But it seemed that Ravenclaw really had no intention of giving him a gift. He sighed in disappointment and said, "Then I'll take the first step, and we'll see you later."

Rowena nodded and said, "We will meet again, Connor Lake."

Connor glanced at the Facebook in her hand strangely and said, "I think so. Goodbye then, Ms. Ravenclaw."

Connor took Angel by the hand, and Artoria stepped up the spiral staircase, gradually drifting away under Ravenclaw's gaze, and soon disappeared at the end of the stairs.

Rowena looked at Helena beside her: "Why don't you leave?"

Helena took a deep breath and said slowly: "I want to have a body again, can you help me Rowena."

The stairs beside the two people suddenly turned into blue light spots and disappeared. Among the flying blue fragments, Helena seemed to see a smile on the corner of Rowena's mouth, but the smile disappeared in a flash, and Helena didn't know it. Is it my own illusion?

"Okay, but I have a condition"

""

We still don’t know what happened between Ravenclaws that day, but Connor’s treasure hunt finally comes to an end
