Hogwarts Scholar System

Maple could somewhat understand Nicoléme's notes, but this was not because of his outstanding talent, but because he had a foundation in physics, chemistry and advanced mathematics.

Although for many years after graduation, not using what he learned was equivalent to being wasted, a lot of his knowledge was returned to the teacher.However, after five years of college entrance examination and three years of frequent simulations of various questions and formulas, 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 past foundation, Maple can surpass Hermione's talent slightly.

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

Mathematics is the mother of all sciences, and this applies not only to the secular world, but also to the magical world.The calculation of many formulas in alchemy requires mathematical calculations.

Maple once again took advantage of many of the conveniences before time travel and once again maintained her status as the top student.After spending a lot of time looking through Nicolas Flamel's notes, Hermione and Maple discussed it and found that they had lost to each other again. They couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and depressed.

"——Second Miss Know-It-All——" On this day, they accidentally heard this word in the common room, and Maple and Hermione couldn't help but look away.

"Who are you talking about?" Maple walked over and asked. Among the people talking was an acquaintance, Ron's sister Ginny.

"Who else could it be? That Celia Dorakus." The girl talking to Ginny said, her words were rude, just like Ron's attitude towards Hermione back then.

"Hi Maple!"

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

"Maple, are you the Maple Arribas who advocated the protection of unicorns?" the girl next to Ginny said in a fuss.

"Yes, who are you?"

"Oh, hello, I'm Ginny's good friend and roommate, Lacey Kland!" This is the transfer student who is two years older than Ginny in the same grade. She talks carelessly, like a neighbor. Like a big sister.It was precisely because of this that Ginny had a good time talking to her.Moreover, after spending some time with Ginny, Lacey saw through Ginny's thoughts about Harry, but instead of ridiculing her, she encouraged Ginny, which made Ginny rely even more on this big sister.

"Hello, Miss Clande," Maple said.

"Hello, Mr. Alibasi, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Lacey." Lacey spoke very casually, and it was her attitude that made it easy for her to make more friends.

"Lessie, who is the Celia Dorakus you are talking about?" Maple asked with great interest, and Hermione over there also quietly pricked up her ears to hear.

Besides Maple, have you encountered any new opponents?

"She is a new student in Ravenclaw, the girl with a very pale face during the sorting." Ginny said. There are only about ten students assigned to each house every year. Ginny only said this, Mei Poole immediately thought of the girl he paid more attention to during the sorting.

"Just like Hermione, she completed the transformation of the match in the first class, and successfully cast the spell class in less than one class. And she passed the senior students without prompting them. Where's the door knocker on the college tower?" Ginny said with a look of admiration on her face.

"It is said that she also received a special reward from Ravenclaw!" Lacey added. She had obviously been learning magic for two years, but she couldn't compare to the freshman who was two years younger than her. This made Lacey feel She was unhappy, but she was still willing to share what she knew with Maple and the others.

"What special reward?" Maple asked curiously.

"There is a library of its own in the Ravenclaw common room. It is said that the founder of the college moved it from the library, but this is only a small part of the collection left by Ms. Ravenclaw. Most of the bookshelves there now The vacancies were all filled by previous students of Ravenclaw College, and Ravenclaw's truly precious collection was placed in another secret place." Seeing the interested looks in Maple and Ginny's eyes, Lacey was happy said.

"How can I enter this room?" Hermione couldn't help walking over and asked.

"Extraordinary intelligence is the most precious wealth of mankind. The test she set is said to be on Ravenclaw's bronze door knocker." Lacey replied.

"That weird eagle!"

"Yes, unlike other colleges whose passwords change after a period of time, students in Ravenclaw House must answer the question of the eagle-headed knocker to enter the common room. If the answer is correct, they can enter. If the eagle-headed knocker feels that you answer is very exciting, or if you still stay where you are after answering the question, then the Eagle Head Door Knocker will continue to choose some more difficult questions to ask you. If you can give a satisfactory answer to all the questions asked by the door knocker, After the answer, it will open a door to that secret treasure house for you.”

"But even among Ravenclaw students, few can pass the test of the eagle-head knocker and get a book from the treasure house."

Maple immediately wanted to go to Ravenclaw Tower. Judging from Hermione's expression, she was also eager to see the collection of Ravenclaw himself.

Maple and Hermione couldn't hold back, and formed a group to go to Ravenclaw Tower. Ginny and Lacey also followed, wanting to see it.

The entrance to the Ravenclaw common room is located on the west side of the castle, at the top of Ravenclaw Tower.There was only a bare old wooden door with no handle or keyhole, and no portrait like the Fat Lady. There was only an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, and this door knocker was the famous one in the school. The eagle-headed knocker who likes to ask weird questions and make people uncomfortable.

The door knocker is obviously in the shape of a small eagle, so why does everyone just call it an eagle-head door knocker?It's not because the eagle's beak on the door knocker is the part that asks questions, which shows everyone's resentment towards this little eagle.

Because they couldn't answer Kitty's strange question, countless students from other colleges who wanted to enter the Ravenclaw Tower were frustrated. Even students from Ravenclaw College have appeared many times because they couldn't answer the bronze knocker. problem and was locked up outside the tower overnight.

Maple walked up first and knocked on the door. The bronze door knocker immediately seemed to come alive. The eagle's beak on the door knocker opened and said in a magnetic and mysterious voice: "Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?"

Maple was about to answer, but the words of the eagle-head knocker were not finished yet: "Student from the outer courtyard, I hope you can tell me a new insight."

In other words, the old answers given by Ravenclaw students can no longer be used by me!

"Eggs!" Maple said it didn't take long, and everyone expressed their astonishment, because anyone who knows Ravenclaw knows that such a simple answer cannot be solved at all.

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

"If there is no need for gods and all things appear on their own, then the emergence of new species with special existences such as the Phoenix will either come from the cross-breeding of other species or from the self-evolution of organisms. Hippogriff, Gryphon Body beasts are all new species created by cross-breeding other creatures.

There is also a dangerous creature listed as 5x by the Ministry of Magic, the Basilisk, a creature created by the dark wizard.Use black magic to make a seven-year-old rooster lay a magic egg when Sirius is in the sky, and then hatch it in the belly of a toad.Then a terrifying species was born that was completely different from chickens. It had the appearance and most of the characteristics of a snake. In addition to its deadly fangs, it also had a pair of big eyes that would kill people if it came into contact with them.

As for the self-accidental mutations of genes in the process of biological evolution, it is difficult for major changes to occur after the embryo of a new life is formed, so it is most likely that the changes occurred around the moment of birth. "

That is around the moment when the fertilized egg takes shape!

"Of course, there is another possibility, which comes from the degeneration of stronger creatures. For example, vampires, the first generation of vampires are the strongest, and the second and third generations will become weaker and weaker from generation to generation."

"That's beautifully said! By the way, what gene are you talking about?" the eagle-headed door knocker praised. Whether the answer is correct or not is not the point. The reasoning process is the key to the door knocker test.

"The life code of living things. 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, creatures with close blood relatives will also have some identical or similar genes. sequence."

"That's it!" After staying here for thousands of years, Bronze Knocker naturally didn't have the opportunity to understand Muggle science, so he knew nothing about genes, but the theory and concept of genes expanded his thinking.Like the Sorting Hat, the eagle-headed knocker also has a mind of its own.

The results of working with others are always less important than the work you complete alone.

Therefore, compared to the Sorting Hat that incorporates the thoughts of the Big Four, the knocker who is only endowed with wisdom by a Ravenclaw woman may have stronger thinking ability.

Although Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the Big Four of Hogwarts, is a witch, she is the toughest one among the Big Four. She moved the library to her own college tower, and she also has a reputation among all the girls. Powerful magic is cast in the dormitory, and men are not allowed to enter.In addition, she may be the most powerful of the four.

"One more question, how do you know about Basilisk?" the eagle-headed door knocker asked with great interest.

"Because I'm afraid of death, I'm very sad about some dangerous things and want to know more about them and take precautions." Maple lied without blinking.

"What is behind nothingness?" The Eagle Head Knocker asked the second question, and then said: "If you can answer this question, I will satisfy your request."

The eagle-headed 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 nothingness, there may be zero, which is nothing, but it may also be all-encompassing infinity. Nothingness only exists in theory, and we may be able to get infinitely close To nothingness, but never to nothingness.”

"Just like life, death is the end of one life and the beginning of the next. Death does not make everything about us disappear completely. We still have souls that continue to exist. We can choose to continue on and start a new life, or we can continue Nostalgia for this world turns into a ghost!”

"Excellent answer. Congratulations. Ravenclaw's private collection will be opened to you. However, you can only choose one of the books in it. Go back and study it carefully. Extraordinary wisdom is the most precious wealth of mankind. Every book in it is A collection will last you a lifetime of enjoyment, please cherish them.

As a reward for your intelligence, the books you get can only be enjoyed by you alone and cannot be loaned to others.And after you take it away, you don’t have to send it over. It will come back automatically after the semester is over. "
