Chapter 343.5 If You Want to Wear a Crown, You Must Bear Its Weight (Extra)
(p.s.1. This chapter and chapter 343 both belong to the volume of Philosopher's Stone. (_) I got the volume wrong. Chapter 344 is from the next volume. Although no one may have noticed, it is a bit forced. The treatment made me very uncomfortable, and I can’t change it after it’s released (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻)
(p.s.2. This chapter is considered a free extra. Like the previous Gryffindor Stone Lion, because the previous chapters borrowed a lot from the original text, this chapter is used as compensation_(:з」∠)_)
[She is neither as passionate as Gryffindor, nor as ambitious as Slytherin, nor as approachable as Hufflepuff. She is aloof, and is always climbing higher. She only has eyes for her. Her footsteps will never stop in the far places she has never reached, and she will keep moving forward throughout her life...
——"The Big Four of Hogwarts, Rowena Ravenclaw"]
Rowena Ravenclaw is a witch with special talents.
Wizards with extraordinary talents are not uncommon, such as prophets, disguise magus, natural telepathizers...etc....
But Rowena's talent is a little different, she is a natural [one body with two souls].
Similar to a dual personality, Rowena has a soul that is both integrated and divided from each other. The strength of her soul is different from that of ordinary people, which makes her born with the ability of photographic memory and powerful spell-casting talent.
The personalities of her two souls are very different. As the main soul, Rowena is a gentle and kind girl, while as the secondary soul, Helena has a strong and domineering personality.
However, due to the fact that she has two souls, Ravenclaw's emotions are actually very indifferent. Her emotional ups and downs are very weak and almost non-existent, so she is basically unable to use the most powerful emotional power as a wizard.
Even so, she was one of the most powerful wizards of her time.
Ravenclaw was very famous in the wizarding circle at that time because of her outstanding talent and strength. Her suitors could line up from the Strait of La Manche to the Pantheon in Rome.
But she has always been independent, and no young talent can catch her eye, not only because her vision is extremely high, but also because she already has her own heart.
Ravenclaw is emotionally indifferent, so indifferent that her emotions are only enough to love one person.
The person Ravenclaw loves is herself.
There is no one as perfect as Helena (Royna) in the world, and they have never changed this idea throughout their lives.
In the era when Ravenclaw lived, the living environment for wizards was not friendly. The Holy See, who betrayed the wizarding class, united with Muggles who had no spellcasting ability to kill all wizards who resisted them.
No one has the ability to change this situation. The Holy See, which controls the elves, is invincible and cannot be defeated. The wizards can only hug together to stay warm and survive.
Although Ravenclaw had nothing to do with the Holy See, there was nothing the Holy See could do against a strong person of her level.
Ravenclaw has no intention of changing this situation. She and the Holy See have never been in conflict with each other. She is only interested in treasures and magic. As for the wizards and the world, she will not care.
She is emotionally indifferent and can be regarded as an out-and-out egoist.
If Ravenclaw had to choose one camp, it should be neutral and good, because as the main soul, Rowena is a gentle character and she still has good intentions towards the world.
When she was traveling around in search of wealth and studying, she met three friends with whom she got along well. She later followed their advice and jointly established a magic school.
Although she had little interest in sheltering homeless wizards when she was young, she had always been a scholar, and she also had a lofty ideal - to become an omniscient person.
So she stayed at Hogwarts, and she used Hogwarts as her base for studying magic.
However, during the decades she taught at Hogwarts, the legend about her did not stop at the castle.
Researching magic requires a lot of wealth, and there are few resources available just sitting in this corner far away from the world.
Therefore, Ravenclaw, who is very good at space magic, often goes to the human kingdom or the Holy See to "fight the autumn wind".
They come and go without a trace, leaving nothing behind but emptying out everything. Over the years, Ravenclaw has touched off countless treasures of the kingdom. And because of his fierce and ugly eating appearance, Ravenclaw has been crowned the world again. With the title of "Greedy Raven", although she is no longer in the world, her legend is still there...
Then time passed by and years passed, and Ravenclaw's life reached a turning point.
…
After exhausting contemporary magical achievements, Ravenclaw found that she had no way to progress and her magical research had reached a bottleneck.
This is the limitation of the times. In an era when everyone is running for survival, there is almost no progress in magic.
At that time, her life had already seen its end...
Ravenclaw cannot achieve immortality by her own strength alone, and she will die. This is something she has already expected. She is not afraid of death, but feels sorry that her dream cannot be realized.
However, at this time, Helga approached Ravenclaw, and the four people who founded the school together back then got together again.
Looking back on those days, Ravenclaw also felt incredible
[Memories of Ravenclaw:
Helga found us that year, hoping to pool the efforts of the four of us to leave a "treasure" for future generations, and we all agreed.
At the same time, Helga also raised a very interesting question. She asked us, what exactly is a wizard?
This is obviously a question to which the answer can be blurted out, but it stumped all three of us. Perhaps when we were young, we would have given the answer without hesitation, but after half a lifetime of vicissitudes, we had no way to answer it at that time. .
But I think all four of us have different answers.
During those days when we were discussing how to arrange the "treasure", a lot of things happened. The four of us were almost the four most knowledgeable magicians at the time. The communication in just a short period of time was actually more fruitful than the results of several years of research alone. Astonishing.
Even the unimagined path of [eternal life] has become possible
The four of us discussed a plan that could be described as “earth-shaking.”
"It can be done, it can be done, and only Rowena can do it, because she has a twin soul with the same origin."
"Use my magic to separate her soul and peel off all the emotional parts. The remaining part of the soul will become an absolutely pure soul that has lost the ability to emotion. The lifespan of such a soul is almost Endless, because it has no human emotions, the soul does not fluctuate, and there is no consumption.”
"This part of the soul that has lost its emotions will be the best Horcrux. As long as this part of the soul is immortal, Rowena's main soul will never die!"
"Then use the magic of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff to create a body with the ability to cast spells. You can truly achieve immortality! Rowena, you can achieve immortality!"
Ravenclaw still remembered that Salazar was so excited when he talked about this that he wished he could replace it. This was indeed a great plan, and it was extremely feasible. Once successful, Ravenclaw might Become the first wizard to achieve immortality at the cost of losing half of your soul's emotions.
Helena: "Go ahead and detach all my emotions so that you can have a real life as a complete human being and you can really laugh."
Rowena: "Yeah."
Helena: "After losing my relationship, I can take over the important mission of passing on knowledge. This is our original intention, isn't it? Let me shoulder our dream!"
Rowena: "Yeah."
Helena: "After you separate your soul, you must live like a normal person, fall in love, travel around, experience real life, and let the legend of the beautiful Ravenclaw spread throughout the world! "
Rowena: "Yeah."
Rowena never disobeys Helena's decision. This is how we have been for so many years.
But on the day when the soul was separated, Rowena, as the main soul and the dominant one, deceived himself for the first and last time - Rowena took away Helena's memory and cut off almost all of his emotions. .
Thus two completely different Ravenclaws were born.
You are me, I am you, so why are your thoughts not my thoughts? We are all the same selfish people.
I also hope that you can have a real life, but after losing my feelings, I can no longer take care of you as before. I hope you can take my feelings and live a beautiful life, Helena
Everyone says that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. I wanted to bear the weight, so I put on the crown.
