Pure Blood Glory at Hogwarts
Chapter 80 The Wisdom of Giving Up
Luke's words did not surprise Ravenclaw.
In other words, when a smart person faces a smart person, everyone's ideas will always coincide.
Because there may be many derivatives of one thing.But there is often only one best.
"I didn't intend to give you this inheritance."
Ravenclaw smiled slightly, then said coldly.
And there was no surprise on Luke's face.
It is one aspect that he has no desire for this inheritance itself.On the other hand, he is also self-aware.Ravenclaw, the embodiment of wisdom and reason.
Although suspected of boasting, Luke believes that he is not lacking in wisdom and rationality.But that kind of thirst for knowledge, Luke can't do it.
Moreover, compared to the Chamber of Secrets that is only circulated in legends.There is no room within the walls known to anyone but Peeves.Luke has not found any clues about the inheritance of Gryffindor so far.Although the Room of Requirement is a hidden place, it is not a secret in the eyes of some troublesome students.
Almost every few sessions, one or more students enter this room.But none of them received the Ravenclaw heritage.
Luke also didn't think that this guy was the best student in the millennium.He was able to attract Ravenclaw's attention, and he should rely more on himself, the hybrid characteristics of the snake and the lion.
It's like Peeves was attracted to himself and played a trick that wasn't necessarily harmful.
The characteristics of oneself are just miraculous to those who don't know.For those insiders, it can already be said to be very interesting gossip.
And people, the pursuit of gossip, it is hard to say that it is not endless.
Just like now that Ravenclaw appeared when he came to the Room of Requirement, this may not mean that Ravenclaw feels that he is the one who can entrust the inheritance.Or maybe it's just the thousand years of silence that made her too boring.When he saw a person with an ancient smile like himself appearing, he finally couldn't help but say a few words.
"I can feel that you are still very interested in my inheritance. It's just that this interest may not be for yourself."
Ravenclaw didn't even need to think about it. Looking at the smiling face carved out of the same mold as Godric on this kid's face, he could tell that this kid was definitely not the kind of person who could not get involved if he saw the benefits.
It's not good to look like anyone, but like that stupid lion.Wouldn't it be nice to imitate Salazar's arrogance?He just learned to be shameless.
"My inheritance cannot be obtained easily. Based on your special status, I can give you a chance to choose someone to participate in my assessment."
In essence, she is not very keen on the matter of 'passing on her knowledge'.
When everyone set up such a place of inheritance, it was only because they learned from Salazar.As for whether his magic and knowledge can really be passed on.They don't care.
It is very difficult to follow the path of others and still want to reach the heights that others have not reached.
Moreover, if they can't even find their own way, what's the point of starting this school?
There is no danger of extinction in this world.Not to mention that it is meaningless to leave an inheritance, but it is indeed not big.What's more, every powerful talent magic is too unique and rare.
This is not something that can produce an adapter in 1000 years.But it is very likely that it will be cut off after a short-lived.
Such things are commonplace for Ravenclaw and the others.
"So... what about the conditions?"
Luke didn't show a happy expression.There is no free lunch in the world.An opportunity to assess Ravenclaw heritage.To be honest, I was able to win the support of a strong enough family for myself.
Of course, if you really take this opportunity to win over a family.Luke felt like he could die at a loss.
And such a big gift, will the other party give it away for free because he is a descendant of Slytherin?
If Luke were Slytherin's own son, he might still have a chance, but he is just a descendant after a thousand years.
It is very important to recognize your own position and show your value.
"First of all, the person you bring must meet my basic inheritance requirements."
Ravenclaw spoke.
Luke looked serious, and said seriously: "Please tell me."
Ravenclaw didn't make a fool of himself either, and said bluntly: "There must be a desire for knowledge. It goes without saying."
"You must have a smart enough mind. The hard requirement is that you have a certain talent for memory magic. And, at least you must learn a real memory magic."
"Is it like forgetting everything?"
Luke asked.
"To truly forget everything."
Luke frowned and took a deep breath: "What is the real forgetfulness?"
After he asked this question, Ravenclaw was silent for a long time, and then he let out a long sigh.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have any hope that this inheritance can continue."
"What is real magic? This question is still too far away for you... It's not something you should consider now."
"Tsk, it's really a treasure hunt game that is too difficult to participate in."
Luke fell silent.I don't know what to think.
And Ravenclaw is not talking, seems to be thinking about how to deal with this matter.
After a while, Ravenclaw said wearily: "Well, you can do two things for me. You find someone you think is suitable. I will give her some of the knowledge I have summarized. Although it is not as good as The inheritance of magic, but the knowledge itself is precious."
Luke knew that knowledge that could be called 'precious' by Ravenclaw, one of the Big Four, must involve extremely high levels.
"Please tell me which two things are the first." Luke's expression returned to calm, as if he no longer cared about Ravenclaw's inheritance and knowledge, "I will do my best to solve it for you. "
The so-called doing my best means running away when things go wrong.
Ravenclaw also knew what Luke meant, but he had no intention of talking to Luke.
"First, my diadem has been tainted by an ignorant fool..."
When she said this, Luke heard a little resentment in her tone.
"I need you to help me purify it and give it back to me. It itself is also a part of the inheritance."
Luke nodded seriously.Ravenclaw's crown, if he remembered correctly, was in the Room of Requirement in its original form, that is, in the state of the storage room.It is not difficult to find it.
As for purification... that kind of thing will be discussed later, and Luke is not sure whether using the basilisk's venom counts as purification... but there is a high probability that it should not be.
But what Ravenclaw called "a link in the inheritance" made him care even more.
Sure enough, the items left by the Big Four are all related to their inheritance... From this point of view, it would be good if Tom, a bastard, knew their role.The most you can say is 'If I can't get it, others can't get it either. '
If he really didn't know what they were for...
Can't you use your brain? !This kind of thing is worth studying at first sight, okay?
"Then the second thing?"
Luke took the initiative to ask.
But Ravenclaw didn't respond to him immediately, but fell silent again.I don't know if it was an illusion, but Luke felt a trace of grief and bewilderment.
He didn't interrupt Ravenclaw's thoughts.Instead, he stood there quietly and waited.
After a long time, Ravenclaw finally spoke quietly.
"The second thing is to untie my daughter's knot and let me... see her again."
Luke had already guessed about this condition.
He pursed his lips, then shook his head and said, "I will try my best to help Ms. Helena. But to be honest, I can't guarantee success."
He didn't have that self-confidence. If Helena Ravenclaw's heart knot could be untied so easily, she wouldn't become a ghost after death and then return to Hogwarts.
Every ghost is a condensed body of obsession.They are not just souls.Obsession is the pillar that supports them from disappearing.
Even a ghost like Nearly Headless Nick, who seems to be happy and heartless all day long, must have unspeakable misery or paranoia.
Helena and Bloodman Barrow are also the last group of ghosts who are obsessed with it.Luke didn't think it was an easy task.
"Just go all out." Ravenclaw's voice stopped again.
Luke could feel that she still had something to say, but it seemed to be swallowing it all back.
Some things are not humane.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first, ma'am."
There was three points of helplessness in Luke's tone: "To be honest, I'm really sleepy. It's been a while since I slept well."
"Go, go back and rest."
As he said that, Luke could feel that the door behind him was opened.
This also made him breathe a long sigh of relief.This long night can finally be ended with a good sleep.
So he hurriedly packed up the bedroll, then pushed open the door straightforwardly, and walked out.
"Goodbye, ma'am."
Before leaving, he did not forget to salute and say goodbye politely.
But when he walked out, he looked quite cheerful.
"Um……"
Ravenclaw's response was somewhat listless.She still seemed to be in her own grief.
But after Luke left, her murmurs sounded again in the Room of Requirement.
"Sleepy? Why does it feel like a lack of mental power... It should be just an illusion..."
And so, the Room of Requirement returned to its usual magical, but peaceful state.
On the other side, Luke stuffed Doris, who was dissatisfied and slapped his cheek with her tail, back into his pocket again.Completely disregarding the little guy's resistance and resentment.
And just as he walked out of the Room of Requirement, he was about to cast a disillusionment spell on himself.He saw the gentle whiteness.
Next to that white figure, there was a tall, old, gentle, but mysterious figure.
In the corridors of Hogwarts, it is not surprising to see ghosts head-on.But when they ran into the principal head-on, some people had to think about whether they had done something taboo.
Unfortunately, Luke is one of those people.
Dumbledore looked at Luke gently, seeing his astonishment and the calm expression on his face at that moment.
Although it is still impossible to achieve the collapse of Mount Tai without changing its color, and the elk rising to the left without blinking.
But this child's expression management ability is already above that of many middle-aged people.
More importantly, he is improving at a very fast speed.
"Good evening, Professor, I guessed I couldn't hide it from you."
Luke said with some embarrassment.
"Luke, can you tell me what happened inside?" Dumbledore asked in an almost gentle tone.
"I hatched my partner in it, and somehow triggered Ms. Ravenclaw's will." Luke said, "Maybe it's because I'm a descendant of Slytherin. She chatted with me for a few days. "
"Have you guys talked about inheritance?"
Dumbledore asked frankly.
Luke was taken aback by his frankness, but looking at the kind old man under the candlelight, Luke nodded.
"Yes, I asked about inheritance."
Dumbledore noticed that the body of Ms. Gray beside him was trembling, and the light on her body was showing signs of flickering.It seems that the mood is quite unstable.
"But I didn't fit in with Lady Ravenclaw's legacy. So she turned me down."
There was a little more helplessness in Luke's tone, and it seemed quite regrettable.
This made Mrs. Gray breathe a sigh of relief while feeling lost.
"Is there anything else?"
"I promised Lady Ravenclaw two things, the first of which was to retrieve her tainted diadem."
"The second is to help Ms. Ravenclaw's daughter untangle her heart."
"But Ms. Ravenclaw sounded very weak, so she just told me the story, and then she stopped talking, and didn't even tell me where the diadem was, and who her daughter was."
Speaking of this, Luke seemed to sigh with emotion: "She should be just a spiritual body. It has been more than 1000 years, and I am afraid that it has reached the verge of disappearing."
Then he looked up, ignoring Mrs Gray over there who had become a bad light bulb.
"Professor, do you have any clues you can give me?"
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, glanced at Mrs. Gray beside him from the corner of his eye, and then looked at Luke who winked at him. He shook his head and said regretfully, "I think, Lavin Ms. Crowe would prefer you to complete this task alone."
"I'm the professor, Luke, and I'm responsible for your future, so I can't help you."
Luke shook his head helplessly: "That's right, then I'll just imagine it."
"Okay, it's late at night, go back to sleep. You look really tired." As he said, he took out a bottle of potion from his pocket, stepped forward and stuffed it into Luke's hand.
"Drink it before going to bed. It can calm the nerves."
He blinked at Luke and said with a smile: "When I am very tired occasionally, I also use this potion."
In other words, when a smart person faces a smart person, everyone's ideas will always coincide.
Because there may be many derivatives of one thing.But there is often only one best.
"I didn't intend to give you this inheritance."
Ravenclaw smiled slightly, then said coldly.
