Chapter 42: Rowena’s Can Nian (revised, typo corrected)

"I choose to move on." Allen did not hesitate at all. Wealth can be obtained by hard work and various means, but he has reached this point. There is no reason not to continue to complete the challenge. He wants to know what Ravenclaw left behind. What is the real reward.
　　 "The game is over." The ethereal voice sounded again.
In an instant, Allen felt like his stomach was hooked by a hook, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at a place that looked like an office-the reason why it looked like an office was because the interior decoration was extremely luxurious. The four walls of the bookcases are filled with bookshelves of various books and scrolls, and various spells are written in different languages ​​on their heavy-covered book backs. A variety of weird-shaped bottles and jars of different textures are placed on the tables on the four sides of the room. The white contents in some transparent tubes that run through part of the wall seem to be alive, constantly wriggling and boiling inside. There is a faint musty smell in the space. Under the spice smell of potions and herbs and the weird smell of corruption, this room smells like Snape’s potions classroom and library mixed together. .
　　 "Hello, Alan Harris." An extremely dignified and cold voice sounded not far from Alan.
　　 Allen immediately turned around to follow the sound, his eyes full of surprise.
Behind a huge encircling stone desk carved from a surprisingly large obsidian inlaid with sapphires, a very graceful figure is sitting on a chair. This slightly transparent woman is extremely beautiful, so beautiful that I dare not even look up. The blasphemy is even a little daunting. Her size is too tall when compared with the current Ellen. There is no trace of age on her face. The only clue is in her eyes. Although her eyes are half-squinted and not fully opened, they look down slightly. His sight revealed as sharp and gleaming as the tip of a gun in a moonlit night, but they also contained deep memories.
　　 Allen recognized this as Rowena Ravenclaw at a glance, because she was very similar to the statue in the Ravenclaw common room, but it was more majestic and smart than the statue.
"You Ravenclaw are indeed greedy enough." Rowena Ravenclaw spoke again, this time because she read a slightly longer sentence that made her voice as ethereal as poetry, she waved A chair was recruited by her to the stone table. Allen sat down obediently and understood what she meant. Ravenclaw literally means "claw's claw" or "crow's claw", and the implicit meaning of the name is "greedy predator".
"You should know Ravenclaw's selection criteria best, don't you, dear madam? Intelligence must be superior, preferably wise, fair, shrewd, knowledgeable, clever, visionary, curious, and like to delve into things. Student." Allen bowed deeply to Rowena Ravenclaw.
　　 Whether he is the founder of the academy or as a strong man, Rowena is worthy of Ellen’s respect, not to mention, just like facing her previous statue, Ellen finds that he has an inexplicable sense of closeness to her.
"As a challenger who has come this far, I think you are qualified to call me Royner or-Dean." Royna Ravenclaw did not continue the topic, but corrected his attitude towards himself. The title.
　　 "Yes, Dean." In Allen's mind, although Rowena Ravenclaw is the founder, Professor Flitwick is the dean of Ravenclaw. However, it was too frivolous to call a lady who was much older than him as soon as he met, so Allen stepped back and could only call her the dean.
　　 "Since you have broken through here, as long as you complete the last test, you can get my treasure." Rowena looked at Alan seriously, and stared at Alan's face motionlessly.
　　 "What is the final test, please?" Allen was confident in himself.
　　 Ravenclaw sat on a chair and looked directly into Alan’s eyes, "The last test is to make a magic stone that can turn stones into gold and live forever."
"Sorcerer's Stone? Excuse me. Why do you still want to be a Philosopher's Stone in this form?" Alan was really curious. The Ravenclaw in front of him was no longer a living person, not even a ghost, just a little Being imprisoned here is somewhat like the kind of soul fragments that need to be divided into a Horcrux.
　　 "You mean that I am obviously a ray of thoughts, but I just want the magic stone of immortality, right?" Rowena Ravenclaw's voice was as ethereal and indifferent as ever.
"When my daughter Helena stole my crown, I sent Barrow to find her, and then Barrow had a dispute with her and killed her. Although I know that a ritual has a resurrection effect, it lacks key materials for me. There is no way to use it to resurrect my daughter. After that, I originally wanted to find the resurrection stone, but after in-depth study of the soul, I found that the resurrection stone cannot resurrect people who have really died. It is just a kind from the underworld. A substance that is more real than the soul and illusory than the substance. But this resurrection stone has no meaning to Helena, who has become a ghost and stayed in the mortal world. This child turned into a ghost out of guilt towards me. And she never dared to come to see me afterwards.
Rowena didn’t mind telling Alan about the future of the dragon, and she said it in one breath. Maybe she was already prepared to answer this question during the long waiting years. s answer.
　　 "But, you don't seem to need the Philosopher's Stone now..." Allen was still puzzled.
"Yes, I originally wanted to find a longer-term way to accompany my daughter, but I didn't want to lose all possible future possibilities like being a ghost, so I thought of the Sorcerer's Stone, but unfortunately after I finished the final refining temperature Before the confirmation test, I..." Rowena generously told Alan these some private secrets: "So I split out this remnant thought with fragments of my soul and designed this magic statue."
　　 It seems that Rowena Ravenclaw's knowledge of soul magic is not inferior to her achievements in alchemy.
Alan remembers that Voldemort’s remnant soul also has the ability to think about itself and communicate with people, and the soul fragments left by Rowena Ravenclaw have maintained the same effect for nearly a thousand years, and it seems Her mind was not affected by the divided soul at all.
"So, Ellen, are you willing to accept the challenge? If you can complete the final steps based on my notes, you can take away all my wealth. If not, I will erase your memory and let you go." Rowena widened his half-squinted eyes, and Allen felt that the Occlumency he performed in front of her didn't work, and he felt as if he was naked in this gaze.
Realizing that the founder of the Ravenclaw Academy directly called his Ravenclaw by name, feeling that the other party did not seem to be as'extremely harsh' as ​​described in the history of magic, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Allen spread his hands, The temptation expressed his inner concerns: "I can accept the challenge, but I have no material."
　　 Rowena did not answer. Instead, he rotated a magic ball on the table three times counterclockwise, the wall on the right disappeared, and a huge alchemy room appeared in front of Allen. She handed a thick roll of parchment to Allen, and it disappeared without a trace.
Allen quickly flipped through this precious manuscript. The handwriting on it was very different from the other person’s external appearance. Not to mention the crookedness and even sometimes it is estimated that it was written backwards without being straightened for convenience. It also contains Many drawings drawn by the other party.
　　 The most important material needed for the Philosopher’s Stone, Allen found that it had been in the alchemy furnace next to it, according to the records in the manuscript. As auxiliary materials, "Alex, Camo, mercury, sulfur, yellow blood salt, uncursed unicorn blood." and other materials are also available, and alchemy techniques are also marked on the parchment. .
After reading through it once, Alan took out a copy of the Jebel’s Handbook from the space. He remembered that the production of one of the alchemy products "Sage’s Stone" was very similar to the Philosopher’s Stone studied by Rowena Ravenclaw, except for some The name is different, but it can be concluded that the effect of the sage’s stone is almost the same as the magic stone.
Compared with the two, the most different refining method is the fire. The temperature of the furnace recorded in the Jeber Handbook is much higher than the temperature recorded by Rowena, but the refining method of the Sage’s Stone in the Jeber Handbook The production method is incomplete. Like Ravenclaw's manuscript, the production method of the important rough stone is not mentioned at all.
　　 No amount of hesitation will help. Allen is determined to take a gamble and set the temperature according to Jeber’s instructions.
