Chapter 783 The Choice Between Wisdom and Family Affection

【That makes sense! 】

The bronze eagle suddenly spoke, its gentle voice echoing in the closed space, and then the heavy bronze door slowly opened.

Looking at the open door in front of him, Ivan froze on the spot, feeling ridiculous.

He spent more than a week looking through the forbidden book area and couldn't answer the question, and Luna solved it so easily?

And the answer is so... simple?

Luna on the side seemed to see Ivan's doubts and quickly explained. "The Bronze Eagle's questions usually have no fixed answers... As long as it thinks what you say makes sense, it will open the door for you..."

Listening to Luna's words, Ivan was a little dumbfounded. He understood that he had been wrong from the beginning, and the Bronze Eagle did not deliberately target him.

It's just that he was preconceived, frightened by the difficulty of this question, and confident that he had the ability to explore the nature of magic, so he directly regarded this as Ravenclaw's test for himself, a duel spanning thousands of years!

However, the facts told him that he was just competing with the air...

When the other party set this question, they probably just expected the students to give all kinds of interesting answers?

Perhaps, not even Ravenclaw himself understands the essence of magic, otherwise there should be relevant records in the forbidden book area.

"Helena is right, I am really not suitable for Ravenclaw Academy..." Ivan complained.

After experiencing this "test", Ivan finally understood one of his flaws, which was his lack of magical thinking, and his brain circuit was completely incompatible with the Ravenclaw lady who lived more than a thousand years ago.

For example, the Bronze Eagle asked: What is the nature of water!

He must have given a scientific answer: water is an inorganic substance composed of two elements: hydrogen and oxygen!

But the actual reference answer-water is the source of life!

In this regard, Ivan just wants to say MMP!

"Are we going in? Ivan?" Luna looked at the open bronze door, her eyes full of inquiry, turned her head and asked.

"Well, let's go in together!" Ivan calmed down, threw those messy thoughts behind his mind, and took the lead in walking in.

Inside the bronze door is a very large research room, which is unexpectedly well-preserved after thousands of years, but is covered in thick dust.

On the old mahogany table in the center, there are many research manuscripts and magic materials, and the surrounding walls are filled with various magic books.

In addition, Ivan also noticed that the magic power in this research room was extremely active. With a thought, a ball of flame appeared out of thin air on his palm.

Although he has already mastered the technique of wandless spellcasting, in the past, when he released magic, it was far from being as smooth as tonight.

"Extraordinary wisdom is mankind's greatest wealth..."

A sleepy whisper sounded in the research room, interrupting Ivan's thinking. He looked back and found that it was Luna who made the sound.

At this moment, the little witch stood in front of a blue-white stone tablet, looking at the words on the stone tablet in trance.

Ivan walked a few steps and discovered that the text above was written in ancient runes, and the text was incomplete and he could not fully understand it.

However, combined with Luna's words, it is not difficult to confirm that what is written on it is Ravenclaw's famous saying - extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind!

However, what makes Ivan feel a little strange is that there is a deep crack on the surface of the stone monument, which almost splits the entire stone monument into two pieces.

Ivan was certain that this was not the result of natural weathering, but the traces of magical strikes.

This is a bit intriguing. If there were no latecomers who specifically destroyed it, wouldn't it mean that Ravenclaw himself destroyed this stone monument.

"Maybe it's because Ms. Ravenclaw didn't agree with this sentence in her later years..." Luna stretched out her hand and gently touched the cracks on the stone tablet and said softly.

"Why do you say that?" Ivan looked at Luna with interest and asked.

"There is no reason, it should just be like this..." Luna said shaking her head. "Otherwise, I can't think of a reason for Ms. Ravenclaw to destroy the stone monument..."

Ivan was speechless.

Intuition, I thought, that's it...

If another person had said this, Ivan would have thought that the other person was talking nonsense, but Luna was an exception. The other person's intuition could almost be regarded as a kind of talent!

In addition, Ivan had some guesses, so he nodded in agreement. "Maybe you're right, Luna. As for the reason, I'm afraid it's because of Helena..."

"You mean it's related to Ms. Gray?" Luna asked curiously.

Ivan had no intention of hiding it. Even Helena, the daughter of Ravenclaw, secretly stole the crown in order to become smarter and more famous than her mother, which led to a near breakup between mother and daughter, which eventually led to tragedy. The story was told once.

Rumor has it that after her daughter was lost, Rowena Ravenclaw put all her energy into magical research.

Ivan suspected that Rowena Ravenclaw looked at this stone tablet when he came in and out of the research room every day, and then remembered that he had betrayed his daughter in order to gain extraordinary wisdom. In a moment of anger, he cast a magic spell on it.

"It seems that Ms. Ravenclaw has found something more important than wisdom..." Luna looked at the damaged stone tablet and whispered to herself. "Family love!"

Speaking of this, Luna's mood became a little depressed.

Ivan understood that the little witch must have thought of her mother who died in the magic experiment, so he quickly changed the topic and asked Luna to search the laboratory together.

Due to the lapse of thousands of years, many of the alchemy manuscripts in the research room have become blurred and unrecognizable, making their search more difficult.

Fortunately, some of the most critical research manuscripts were kept by Ravenclaw in boxes made of jade. He had learned some ancient English and ancient runes on them in advance, and with Luna, he could quickly put them together. The research manuscript was translated.

"That's it!" Ivan found a large open space behind the research room according to the description in the manuscript, squatted on the ground and tried to input some magic power.

Ahead, the bluish-white floor stone tiles suddenly lit up, gradually outlining a complex and exquisite alchemy circle.

Ivan's knowledge of alchemy can naturally tell that the function of this magic circle is to mobilize the magic power of the entire castle. It was probably used by Ravenclaw for some high-intensity magic experiments.

However, this saved him a lot of preliminary work. As long as he spent some time improving it and gathering the materials to make the magic stone, he would be able to get a magic stone of his own!
