Chapter 726: Ravenclaw's Test
It was too irrational to enter such a terrible whirlpool! But that was not the real world. He couldn’t stop anything. He could only passively follow Ravenclaw into the whirlpool and experience the things she had experienced in those days.
In the thunderous roar, the whole space was shaking violently. The sea was constantly rolling and bumping around, and the red at the center of the whirlpool became brighter and brighter.
The powerful magic was mixed with the sea water oscillating in space, tearing everything into the whirlpool.
Had it not been for the protection of the magical barrier, Ravenclaw would have been smashed to pieces by now.
Although the magical barrier on the outer layer of her body had been shaking all the time and Evan was shocked to see it did not break in the end.
They gradually penetrated into the great whirlpool, as though they had crossed the barriers of space and entered another world, a world deep underground.
When the last ray of light was swallowed up and darkness was about to come, Evan saw an orange glow flashing not far away.
He was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Godric Gryffindor. The latter had followed.
It seemed that he was still worried about Ravenclaw, knowing that she would venture into the whirlpool alone.
In the materials found by Evan, it was recorded that there were magical relics left in ancient times in the great whirlpool of Charybdis. For thousands of years, none of the people involved could survive…
This was Ravenclaw’s own business, and she didn’t want Gryffindor to risk his life.
But with the character of Gryffindor, since he came all the way here to the end of her journey, there was no reason why he would not follow.
How could such an adventure carry without him? The two founders of Hogwarts were exactly the same as the legend.
The most precious things in their characters had been inherited, affecting generations of wizards and witches…
The brave Gryffindors, brave at heart, their daring, nerve and chivalry made Gryffindors outstanding!
The beautiful Ravenclaws, smart, calm, wise and erudite, they could always make the right choice before crisis!
In the darkness, the blue and orange magical barriers faintly glowed. Like two bright stars in the night sky, they added radiance to each other!
Ravenclaw changed back again, and she looked calmly at the approaching Gryffindor, with no surprise.
She seemed to have expected Gryffindor to appear or simply did not think of it, but she was not surprised because she had no feelings.
Gryffindor approached, took Ravenclaw’s hand and held it tightly, showing his determination!
Ravenclaw didn’t break free. She quietly looked at Gryffindor in front of her, watching the worries and concerns written on his face, and the firmness in his eyes that he would never retreat.
Then, the corner of her mouth turned up, revealing a smile.
Ravenclaw stretched out her other hand and gently touched Gryffindor’s head, as they did when they were parting on the deck.
Throughout the process, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, just like the smile on all her statues and paintings.
The smile was matched with Ravenclaw’s delicate face, beautiful enough to stop one’s breath.
But there was no awe-inspiring, unapproachable feeling. At this moment, her smile seemed to come from the heart, not pretending.
At this moment, she seemed to get a glimpse of emotions. The feelings from Gryffindor moved her. Ravenclaw and Gryffindor’s hearts blended with each other!
In the huge roar, Ravenclaw leaned over and whispered something in Gryffindor’s ear.
Evan didn’t hear it clearly, but Gryffindor was obviously very happy and laughed.
He followed them all the way down. He didn’t know how long it took.
In the obscurity, he saw a huge outline in the underground world deep in the whirlpool…
What was it? It didn’t seem to be some kind of ancient building!
Just as Evan opened his eyes wide and was ready to see clearly, the scene changed rapidly.
That was the end of Ravenclaw’s memory, and he returned to the circular room inside the Merperson statue.
In the silence, everything became unreal, spanning a thousand years in a row, making Evan feel a little trance.
He had learned a lot about the secrets of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, and gained a lot.
But what mattered most to Evan was what had appeared in the depths of the whirlpool. What was that huge outline?!!
He was so close to see it clearly!
He gasped, shook his head, and didn’t keep thinking.
On the statue of Ravenclaw opposite, the raven was staring at him, its two ruby eyes shining.
“Visitor, you’ve seen Madam Ravenclaw’s memories,” said the Raven in a weird, cold voice. “Follow her steps and pass the test she left, you will get the reward she left you!”
“What do you mean?!” Evan paused before continuing to ask, “You don’t want me to go into that whirlpool, do you?”
What a joke, that was pure suicide.
He was not Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, who had strong magical power and could freely enter and leave the terrible whirlpool…
In any case, Evan’s entry into this way was definitely a dead end.
There was no need to study what dangers were inside, just the raging sea water and magical power in the process of crossing were enough to tear him to pieces.
“Follow the footsteps of Madam Ravenclaw, pass the test she left, and you will be rewarded.” The Raven repeated it again ignoring Evan. “This diadem will guide you, may the light of wisdom be with you!”
With that, it grabbed Ravenclaw’s Diadem, flew up again, and hovered over Evan’s head.
The Raven’s two ruby eyes glowed brighter and brighter.
With a bang, it changed into a burning flame, which fused with the diadem…
In the flame, the shape of the diadem changed, and the center of the ring became a raven spreading its wings.
It fell gently into Evan’s outstretched hand, and its weight had increased a lot.
Now, this exquisite diadem was exactly the shape of Ravenclaw’s diadem that Evan had seen in her memory. However, with the exception of the two sparkling rubies in the eyes of the Raven, the other locations of jewels were empty, and there was no blue Philosopher’s Stone in the center.
At this point of the development of things, Evan generally understood!
That was the final test of Ravenclaw’s secret treasure key. Unlike Gryffindor, relying on the illusory magic to personally select the heir who met the conditions, the test left by Ravenclaw was obviously more complicated and much more dangerous. He had to follow her footsteps to repair the damaged diadem.
Evan was going to visit Sicily, in Italy, and maybe he really had to get into that terrible whirlpool.
Besides a wry smile, he really didn’t know what to say.
To get Ravenclaw’s secret treasure key, he had to do what she said and pass the test she had left behind.
Evan returned to the castle with the diadem, ready to talk to Dumbledore first.
Hagrid and Madame Maxime were about to go to Sicily to contact the giants, and he would join them…
