Chapter 720: A New Journey

Ivan returned to the bottom of the lake again, and it became as quiet as usual.

Neither the just-concluded battle nor the impending return of Voldemort had any effect on the lives of the mermaids.

They gathered, as ever, from the nearby waters, to perform their ancient sacrifices here.

Although they are members of the magic world, mermaids have their own unique and closed life circle.

The constant disputes in the human world will not affect them. This has been the case for thousands of years, and Voldemort will not be interested in the mermaid's territory.

They have lived here from generation to generation, aloof from the world, no matter who is in the castle!

However, after seeing Aiwen's arrival, many mermaids still went up to ask about things in the castle.

Even those who live under the lake have heard Voldemort's name and the terrible things he did in the past.

Ivan chatted with the mermaid for a few words, and when the gap in the tail of the statue opened, he got in.

Following the path he had passed before, he soon came to the huge stone door that was different from others.

The dark blue raven stood silently above the stone door, its two ruby ​​eyes gleaming in the light of its wand.

It became the same as before, without any breath, and seemed to be a dead thing.

But after the last experience, Aiwen would not think so, this thing is not simple.

Judging from the knowledge of alchemy, this raven has already possessed the top alchemy knowledge and has life!

Regardless of whether the person who made it was Rowena Ravenclaw, or how she did it, there is an indisputable fact that people have to admire: she gave life to a dead thing, Let it have eternal life!

Alchemy was born in ancient Egypt. At that time, Egypt still belonged to the era of ancient magic civilization where ancient warlocks roamed freely.

In Ivan's view, although those powerful pharaohs, priests, and ancient warlocks created a lot of magic beyond imagination, there is actually only one thing they most urgently want to do, and that is to conquer death.

They conducted research from the perspectives of alchemy and undead magic, and achieved astonishing results.

For example, the Philosopher's Stone, and the Horcrux, these are a small part of their research results.

Ivan looked at the raven carefully, studied it for a while, and then walked over and knocked on the door gently.

The eagle's beak on the top opened immediately, and said in a cold, gloomy voice, "According to the master's wishes, my door is only open for the wisest people. Strange visitor, I will ask you questions and test your wisdom." Whether you can meet the conditions. If you answer correctly, I will open it for you to enter; if you answer wrong, you will usher in death!"

As soon as the voice fell, Aiwen was surrounded by powerful magic power, and the raven above the gate suddenly flew up.

It hovered above Ivan's head, and those blood-red eyes stared at him intently.

"Ask!" Aiwen said, confidently answering the other party's question.

As with the Ravenclaw common room door, each knock presents a different question.

Some are simple, some are difficult. This is the magic arranged by Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw herself.

After the last time, Ivan asked Luna to lead him to the Ravenclaw common room to practice and accumulate experience.

"Phoenix and fire, which one comes first?"

It turned out to be this question, and Ai Wen immediately replied, "This is a cycle, with no beginning and no end!"

The phoenix was born in the raging fire, and then dissipated in the flames. It is very difficult for this magical creature to really die.

However, nature is fair. While giving the phoenix a strong vitality, it also greatly limited their number.

You must know that among all wands, the wand core made of phoenix tail feathers is relatively the least in number, because the number of phoenixes is far less than that of dragons, unicorns and other magical creatures, except for Dumbledore's Fox, Ivan Never saw another phoenix again.

"Correct answer, visitor! Those with the smartest minds should be rewarded!" The stone door opened slowly.

The powerful force that controlled Ivan disappeared instantly, as if it had never existed.

He walked in, took out Ravenclaw's diadem, ignored the magic books protected by magic, and quickly walked to the innermost side of the room, and came to the beautiful but somewhat daunting huge statue of Ms. Ravenclaw before the statue.

The raven landed gently on top of her head, tilted its head, and stared at Ivan with blood-red eyes.

Its eyes fell on the crown in Ivan's hand, shining with a strange red light.

"Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of human beings!" It uttered a hoarse and mournful cry to Ivan, "Visitor, you have passed the first step of the test, and put Ms. Ravenclaw's crown on it where it should be. I will reveal the hidden secret to you!"

Ivan took out his wand to guide the crown in his left hand, let him float under control, and controlled it to float upwards slowly.

With a crisp click, the crown landed on the statue's head accurately, fitting together perfectly.

In a slight tremor, Raven stared at Ivan, he seemed to have touched a mechanism.

Ai Wen blinked his eyes and was in a trance for a while, as if nothing had happened.

What the hell is going on, what is Ravenclaw's secret?

Immediately afterwards, he found that the scene around him had changed, and he was no longer in the closed secret room.

Aiwen appeared on a large ship that kept shaking, surrounded by an endless blue ocean, and he could even smell the fishy smell of sea water.

Then, he saw Rowena Ravenclaw, who was standing on the deck in front of her, looking at him with a smile.

It's soul magic again! ! !

Ravenclaw, like Gryffindor, preserves part of his soul in some way.

But it seemed a little different, Ms. Ravenclaw didn't speak to Ivan, and it wasn't a powerful illusion here.

Gryffindor's soul can be preserved with the help of the Philosopher's Stone and the power of the stars.

In Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets, except for the uncomfortable raven, Aiwen didn't feel powerful.

Without the support of magic power, her soul will not stay, let alone have the power to create illusions.

But no matter how powerful her magic is, it is impossible to do this!

Ivan looked around and felt it carefully. This world is a bit similar to the memory seen in the pensieve and Tom Riddle's diary. A past image is preserved through a special method for later visitors to enter and watch. He was reliving the memories of Rowena Ravenclaw.

The Ravenclaw in front of him was wearing a set of sky blue wizard robes. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He looked so beautiful that it was impossible to look directly at him.

Especially those azure blue eyes, pure without any flaws, seem to be able to reach directly into the hearts of human beings
