My classmate at Hogwarts is Voldemort

Chapter 401 Crown and Knocker

"During your long life full of wisdom, you must have seen many special magics."

The Rowena Ravenclaw in front of him was like an exquisite doll, standing in front of him expressionlessly. The connection between the crown and the hollow tree stump had been severed, leaving only the encyclopedia-like memory. Waiting for visitors to read at any time.

This is the magic that Salazar Slytherin taught Tom. Ravenclaw's crown hides her life's knowledge, but this huge wealth that is enough to lure any wizard into madness justifies the slang ——If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Even for those wizards who can change things by simply waving a wand, free wealth often means unbearable costs and crises.

……

"This is a semi-finished product. It was created just to let Royna get out of her unimaginably abundant knowledge, so that her mind can have more free time to create some more useful knowledge," said the author in the secret room. In a school history class, Slytherin introduced to Tom like this, "She wanted to put the diadem in the library of Hogwarts after her death, so she also specially collected some books for the diadem that she did not have. dabble in knowledge, so that students can gain knowledge directly by asking, you know the bronze door knocker in the Ravenclaw lounge? I remember it was at the door of the Ravenclaw lounge before, like to ask questions - that is open Royna called the key to the treasury inside the crown the 'steward of knowledge', and in her plan, the door knocker served as a medium for students to communicate with the crown."

"Sounds like a huge project." Tom touched his pocket, but luckily he didn't bring the door knocker with him today.

"It's really huge. Several of her apprentices spent many years just looking for books, and even abducted a few of my students," Slytherin said dissatisfiedly, "I saw one of them a few days ago. , I don’t know if you have any impression? He finally stabbed Royna’s daughter to death, and the two wizards turned into two ghosts, blocking each other’s eyes in the castle.”

"However, according to legend, as long as the Ravenclaw crown is worn, it can possess wisdom comparable to Ravenclaw." Tom raised his own doubts, "If it is a miniature library as you said, then it is not There will be no legends like this.”

"A group of idiots who think they are smart are just imagining wildly. Knowledge can indeed be equated with wisdom in many cases, but they are still fundamentally different," Slytherin sneered. If you have a sword, you can be invincible, and if you have an appearance, you can overwhelm all living beings. Take your Nordic boy friend as an example. He has an interesting wand, a wand that countless people have chased. It is true that it can indeed increase the power of the spell. It's powerful, but it doesn't mean that those duel fighters can use it to kill the Quartet. To be honest, I can pick up a wooden stick and beat him to the north. Only my own things can be relied on, young man .”

"You also said that it does have the power of amplifying spells."

"Wearing the crown directly can indeed allow a wizard with mediocre intelligence to suddenly master the knowledge of Ravenclaw, but it is like forcing an oak barrel that can only be used to make wine to hold the entire ocean. This kind of consequence-even Royna himself dare not wear the crown directly," Slytherin said with a sneer, "their poor brain capacity will be filled by the crown in an instant, but the remaining reason does not deal with these The ability of mixed knowledge - in their cognition, these powerful spells and cherished knowledge will be decomposed into messy letters in an instant, and then turned into pieces of meaningless graffiti. Collapsing under the scouring of a huge amount of knowledge, forgetting your name, forgetting what magic is, and even forgetting human instinct, you will soon become a corpse that has forgotten to breathe."

"That's it..." Tom was a little disappointed, "But didn't someone as smart as Ravenclaw think of this problem? Compared with being mastered by mediocrity, the cessation of knowledge is the most regrettable thing."

"So this is a semi-finished product. In Royna's vision, it can satisfy anyone's thirst for knowledge. What she wants to do is not to find smart seedlings and teach them as many people say. What she wants from the beginning to the end It’s all about turning every one of your students into intelligent people,” Slytherin emphasized, “no one would have thought that it would be stolen by Royna’s own daughter before it was finished, would you steal something from your own father? ?”

"Nothing to steal." Tom curled his lips. "I don't need it."

"That's right. For those with wisdom, the knowledge accumulated by themselves is reliable," Slytherin would be wrong, he coughed lightly, and said, "But when you need to use When crowning the crown, Royna would not mind someone who has mastered a special method to misappropriate something trivial, and it just so happens that I am the one who knows that 'special method'."

Slytherin sat cross-legged on top of the basilisk's head, and the feet hidden under the robe were turned up, but Tom, who had seen the dryad, seemed to have lost interest in Ravenclaw's crown, and kept refusing to answer Slytherin's words. He was in great pain.

"Well, Lord Slytherin," finally, Tom sighed and asked perfunctorily, "it seems that the method of using the crown has something to do with the door knocker. Lord Chuck Slytherin's discerning eye."

"Speaking of door knockers, I have to mention an interesting story," Slytherin held back for a long time, finally smiled, patted his thigh, and said, "Royna found some problems on the way to make the crown. The serious one is that it will be very difficult for her to wear the crown, after all, it belongs to the collective wisdom, and she needs the world's top alchemists to help her create a magic item that can split knowledge like a tributary of a river."

"The world's top alchemist can't be you!" Tom asked exaggeratedly.

"Among the four founders of Hogwarts, Gryffindor is either in a duel or on his way to a duel. Hufflepuff's expansion of students has consumed most of her energy, and Ravenc Lao’s ability to use her brain is better than her hands, and after wasting hundreds of pounds of raw copper, she finally gave up preparing by herself, and begged me for a long time before I was willing to find time to help her in my busy schedule.”

Slytherin's beard was almost up to the sky, and he used words very bluntly, looking complacent, and even used words like "old man" that sounded strange.

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't tell you this, not only because it's a secret between me and Royna, but also for the safety of Ravenclaw students," Slytherin said after pondering for a moment, "But the door knocker was lost a few years ago, and I don't know who took it away. I lacked the necessary tools. It doesn't matter if I tell you the method."

"Oh, it turned out to be a useless spell."

A gleam flashed in Tom's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and shook his head in feigned pity.

"How could it be useless?" Slytherin explained, "Having heard its principle is enough to benefit you for a lifetime. Listen up boy, the door knocker needs a specific grasping gesture to work... The principle of this magic is ...The steps of alchemy are..."

Time passed quickly in the class, and when Tom's face was tired, the Slytherin class ended just right. Tom left the Chamber of Secrets expressionlessly, but he was cheering in his heart.

"There may be ghosts everywhere in Hogwarts, and similarly, there may be portraits everywhere." Slytherin stayed in the secret room, stroked the scales of the basilisk, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Du Miao is really what he says, When will I need to teach others knowledge like this, coaxing and pretending to be stupid?"

……

"Yes, there are many."

Ravenclaw answered Tom's words in a flat tone. Her voice was no different from that of "Royna" in the forest, but compared to the tree spirit lady, there was no trace of emotion in her voice , just call up relevant topics from my memory, and tell me according to the script, "What kind of knowledge do you want to know?"

"The Horcrux."

Tom pondered for a moment, then replied.

"Please note that the Horcrux is a heinous black magic. Among the methods of obtaining immortality, the Horcrux is listed by Rowena Ravenclaw as the least effective, the most costly, and the least successful way. The takeaway point is that Horcruxes impair the wizard's ability to think and reduce his intelligence."

Despite the warning, Ravenclaw's voice remained unchanged: "Do you need to know how to refine the Philosopher's Stone?"

"I wonder, when a wizard with a horcrux is determined to be dead," Tom continued, "what happens to one of his surviving horcruxes?"

"It's a paradox that a person with a Horcrux can't really die until the Horcrux is destroyed."

"We assume that someone has completely destroyed the soul body of the Horcrux master with too much magic power."

Ravenclaw's figure paused, countless fleeting words and symbols flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he said with a voice that seemed to be pre-recorded, "I have considered this situation, it stands to reason, A person with an incomplete soul will be resisted by the 'door' after death, but if he is pushed into the door, then those horcruxes that rely on the logic of his soul to survive will fall into silence, and in the absence of a body, split The soul of the soul will also lose the ability to think, but the memories and knowledge intercepted when it was created will be preserved."

"Please elaborate." Tom frowned.

"Just like a human body falling into a coma, it will become a doll at the mercy of others. It only needs the simplest Legilimency to break into undefended soul fragments and obtain everything it has."

"I see." Tom rubbed his chin thoughtfully, he thought for a moment, and continued to ask, "Is there a magic spell to travel through time and space in the world?"

"It doesn't exist," Ravenclaw replied without hesitation. "The movement of space can be achieved by simple apparition, door keys, and even the 'fireplace travel technique' used in some families. The basic requirements of the displacement spell It is to mark the magic power at the starting point and the end point respectively, the world we live in is not too big, and this is not too difficult."

"But time travel is considered impossible magic, because it will deduct your existence in the time and space you are in, including but not limited to information, magic power, quality, etc., and generate another continuous For you, you need to use a magic power bigger than yourself to drive you to move, which is obviously impossible," Ravenclaw continued to explain, "Even if we can solve the problem of magic power, we cannot travel in time. Mark the end point, wizards can use magic to affect the other side of the ocean, but they cannot affect the past, if you are interested in the flow of time, it is recommended to study the history of magic forward, and backward, you will jump to the production method of the Philosopher’s Stone.”

"Why do you like the Philosopher's Stone so much?" Tom scratched his head wonderingly, "The last question, is there any kind of magic that can change reality and create coincidences?"

"Magic has been changing reality since its birth."

"I mean, create coincidences, such as tampering with the fate of some people, create countless dense coincidences, and make some unreasonable things happen."

"Unreasonable things happen in this world all the time," Ravenclaw replied, "and that's not the prerogative of magic."

"Ok."

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Tom curled his lips. Sure enough, as Slytherin said, the magic in the door knocker used to match the knowledge in the crown was not completed. Ravenclaw, said softly:

"The portrait of Salazar Slytherin says hello to your memory."

Ravenclaw worked, but Tom had already broken free from the illusion. He rubbed his temples, took the Ravenclaw crown off his head, and carefully placed it back in the tree hole. The angle was a little tilted, and he even reached in a second time to help it correct its position.

"I thought you were going to take it away."

The woman in the green dress came out from behind the tree stump. She fiddled with her long hair hanging down to her chest with her index finger in boredom, looked at Tom who was squatting on the ground, and said, "I didn't expect you to resist the temptation of knowledge..."

"Who are you?"

Tom stood up slowly, patted the dirt and moss on the hem of the robe, tilted his head, and asked politely.

"What? All men are like this, do you like to turn your back on others?"

While she was blinking to express her doubts, Tom had already pulled out his wand, and using apparition to appear in front of her, the tip of the wand was pressed against her forehead, and he asked word by word, "Who are you? Since when Start following us?"

"Don't you know me?" Royna pointed to herself. After noticing the vigilance and strangeness in Tom's eyes, she actually laughed happily, and new tender spots emerged from the dark green hair. bud.

"Are you the root?"

Tom's eyes widened, "How did you become like this?"

"Isn't it beautiful?" Roy turned around, and flowers bloomed and quickly withered on the green dress every moment, "I followed Nelson's advice, even if my life was covered by Ravenclaw's template, but I choose to be myself."

"What kind of philosophy is this—"

"boom!"

Suddenly there was a loud noise behind him, and one person and one tree turned their heads. The ax handle-shaped mountain of stone was cut off from the middle by a black beam of light, and the broken upper half slowly slid towards the two of them, like a sharp, Like the unstoppable guillotine.
