Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

"Of course, but may I ask what this 'little condition' is?" After hearing what Rowena said, Aries was delighted: she didn't expect the ghost in front of her to be so easy to talk to!

Rowena did not answer her question directly, but silently summoned her own body.

Seeing the mummy in fancy clothes slowly approaching, Aries felt a little panic in her heart. She also noticed a detail, that is, the face of the female corpse looked at least 60% similar to the ghost in front of her.

"This, can't be..."

"You guessed right, this is my remains." Rowena confirmed Aries's guess, and then asked her another question: "Do you know who I am?"

"Les only said that you were his good friend," Aries confessed truthfully.

"It's okay to tell you, I'm Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Hogwarts."

Hearing that name, Aries couldn't help but shudder.

Although she was in a secret organization like the Secret Society, she had heard of the great reputation of the Hogwarts Big Four, who were legendary wizards who ended an era and opened a new one.

The characters active in mythological stories appeared before her, which brought her a great shock.

Then Aries suddenly remembered something: Les called the Ravenclaw lady in front of him "old friend", so who exactly was he? How many people in the world could claim to be Rowena Ravenclaw's old friend?

Aries vaguely feels that he has touched upon some extraordinary forbidden knowledge.

"You are really smart at certain times, and you have a very sharp intuition." Ravenclaw praised.

Aries:?

"Have you also noticed that there's something wrong with Rice's identity?" Rowena asked with a smile.

Aries felt a little panic in her heart and waved her hands repeatedly. She knew very well that many secrets were better left unknown.

"That guy's acting is terrible. Anyone who has been with him for a long time won't believe his stories. It's just that everyone is smart and no one has torn off the disguise on his face, because no one knows what is hidden under that human skin. In this way, his goal has been achieved, and no one has discovered his true identity yet."

Les doesn't care whether others have noticed the authenticity of his identity "Les Lint". He only cares whether his true identity has been exposed.

In response to what Ms. Ravenclaw said, Aries just gave an awkward smile. She didn't want to continue on this topic at all.

Seeing Aries acting like this, Rowena sighed.

"You can know these secrets because you have come this far."

Aries: !!!

A rapid alarm bell suddenly rang in her heart, and her intuition began to warn her frantically.

"What specific field are you in? Isn't it time for you to tell me?" When Aries was most alert, Rowena changed the subject.

"It's the air. I have a certain control over the air." Aries honestly explained his own area.

"Good, very good!" Rowena was delighted and praised repeatedly.

After a while, the joy in her heart gradually faded, and she told Aries that her field was "wind", which was closer to Aries' field.

Aries nodded in confusion.

"This is crucial...Previous experiments probably failed because there was no similar field."

"What experiment?"

"Nothing, just some details." Rowena mentioned some past events briefly, and then began to talk about her past in a rambling manner.

"This is the deepest part of Hogwarts, and it is also where the secrets of Hogwarts lie. Hundreds of years ago, I took the initiative to transform myself into a ghost to protect this secret place, and I have been doing so until today. In order to prevent things from going beyond my control after my death, I imposed an extremely strict [Seal] on myself, so that my corpse and I can only wander in the dungeon."

After hearing Ravenclaw's self-introduction, Aries felt a little respect for her even though they had different positions.

"Now I have regained consciousness, but the restrictions from those years still exist. This is still my cage, and I have always been an eagle in a cage."

"And your friends?"

Rowena raised her eyebrows. "My old friends, not interfering is already the biggest concession. I don't blame them, because if it were me, I wouldn't want Rowena Ravenclaw to come out of the dungeon. She is a dangerous person, and some of her ideas can sometimes cause big trouble."

Aries: …

"Okay, we've talked about so much nonsense, it's time to get down to business." Rowena's expression became serious, and she said to Aries seriously, "I need you to open your heart to me completely and accept my soul."

Aries: ???

"No, I don't think I understood. Do you mean...?"

"I will place my soul in your body. After you and I become one, you will gain great power. Voldemort and Polaris will not be your opponents. If things really don't work out, I can even help you deal with them."

"But..." Aries was dumbfounded. She knew very well what this meant.

After accepting Ravenclaw's soul, she will gradually lose control of her body - she doesn't think she can gain the upper hand in front of this being. In the end, the host and the guest will switch places, and she will become Rowena Ravenclaw's puppet.

"Don't worry, I won't interfere with your freedom too much. You just need to do a few trivial things for me. It doesn't matter even if you can't do it, because I will do it for you." Rowena's voice sounded in Aries' ears, stirring her heartstrings.

Things couldn't get any worse, could they? The Order had given up on him, Voldemort was eyeing him, and he had offended Les Lint, who had given him to Ravenclaw. This meant that he could only obey Ravenclaw's orders, and it was reasonable for her to discuss this with him, as she could have just taken action.

This is the ignorance of Aries.

The only thing Ravenclaw couldn't force was this. Forcing Aries to merge would only cause their soul to be destroyed or severely damaged. By then, in the eyes of forbidden magic, the person trying to get out of the seal would still be Rowena, and she would still not be able to get permission to enter or leave.

Aries must be willing to merge with Rowena.

Aries, who thought he had no way out, agreed to Rowena's proposal and completely opened his soul to her.

A fire of joy flickered in Rowena's eyes: From today on, she would no longer be an eagle trapped in a cage!
