Chapter 645 Finding the Missing Crown

The channel to enter here is opened by the resonance magic generated by the mermaid's singing, and the duration will not be very long.

Once the singing stops, the gaps in and out will be closed, and Ivan will be locked in here and cannot get out.

He must seize the time to learn the secrets here, and leave here before the gap closes.

Ivan followed the trajectory of the raven's flight, and quickly walked inside through the rows of bookshelves.

On the innermost side of the room is an inwardly recessed alcove, in which stands a tall white marble statue.

It's Rowena Ravenclaw! ! !

Ivan had seen her statue when he and Luna visited the Ravenclaw common room before.

The marble statue of Ravenclaw located here is larger than the one in the school common room.

She seemed to be looking at Ivan, with a faintly teasing smile on her face, beautiful but a little daunting.

The raven stayed above her head, tilted its head, and stared at Ivan with blood-red eyes.

It made a hoarse and mournful cry, which made people shudder.

"Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of human beings!"

The indifferent and weird voice that Ivan heard before sounded again, this time, he noticed that the voice was made by this raven.

"If you want Ravenclaw's reward, bring her diadem, and I will reveal all the secrets to you!"

"Ravenclaw's crown?!" Hearing what it said, Ivan looked away from the raven and looked down.

He just noticed that the statue of Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw in front of him did not have the famous crown on her head.

This is really incredible, you know, the crown can be clearly seen on the portraits and sculptures of Rowena Ravenclaw that have survived to this day, even in all written records, and Ravenclaw himself hardly uses it. Take off this crown.

It is considered a symbol of Rowena Ravenclaw and has special significance.

For thousands of years, many wizards have believed that Ravenclaw's diadem has magical magical properties and can increase the wisdom of the wearer.

This is a very famous legendary magic item that has been passed down in the Ravenclaw family for generations.

Whether Ravenclaw's diadem has any other purpose besides increasing wisdom is unknown, but it is undoubtedly a proof of wisdom and status.

This crown is also known as the "Crown of Wisdom", and it is believed that only the wisest wizards in the world are eligible to wear it.

In the eyes of the world, Ravenclaw has always worn the crown, because she is recognized as the wisest wizard.

But after her death, this precious magic item disappeared.

No matter how much the descendants searched in the castle and her relics, there was no trace of her, and the crown just disappeared out of thin air!

Since then, the missing Ravenclaw diadem has become a mystery, and various rumors have been swirling.

Some say that Rowena Ravenclaw was reluctant to bear the diadem and took it to the grave.

Others believe that the diadem is automatically hidden, and it will only reappear when a wizard with a level of wisdom comparable to Rowena Ravenclaw appears.

But Aiwen knew that it was Ravenclaw's daughter Helena Ravenclaw who stole the crown.

She wanted to become smarter and more famous than her mother, so she ran away with the crown and hid in a forest in Albania, hoping to monopolize the treasure that did not belong to her.

No one knew about it, and Ravenclaw never admitted that the diadem was missing, she kept pretending it was still there.

She even hid her loss from the other three founders, hiding her daughter's horrific betrayal.

She didn't even look for her own crown, just acting like it never happened.

Later, Ravenclaw fell ill, very ill, and she wished to see her daughter again before she died.

She sent a man who loved Helena dearly, the Bloody Baron, to find her.

But Barrow ended up killing Helena by mistake, and then Barrow used the weapon to kill himself.

Centuries passed, and he still wears chains in penance.

After death, both men eventually returned to Hogwarts, but in ghostly form.

Because of all kinds of regrets and remorse, they stayed here forever, wandering in the ancient castle.

Helena also never saw her mother and was never forgiven by her, although Ravenclaw probably never held her grudges against her.

Barrow blamed himself for killing the person he loved the most. He lived in infinite pain and could not escape after death.

As for Ravenclaw's diadem, Helena hid it in a hollow tree in the Albanian forest.

The story doesn't end here. Ivan doesn't need to find an ancient tree thousands of years ago in the desolate Albanian forest, nor does he need to go to the Ravenclaw library to browse ancient books and ask about the pain between Helena and the bloody Baron love.

Because Voldemort found the whereabouts of the missing diadem, he went to the distant forest and retrieved the hidden diadem.

He made the crown of wisdom his precious Horcrux instead of remaining in the humble tree.

Voldemort then secretly returned the diadem to its real home, hidden in the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts.

On the way back, Ivan kept thinking about these things.

In this way, he should thank Voldemort for making the challenge left by Ravenclaw very easy.

Aiwen only needs to go back to the castle to find the crown in the Response Room, and bring it over when the mermaid sacrifices next time, and then he can get the secret treasure left by Ravenclaw.

The only thing to pay attention to in the whole process is not to be affected by Voldemort's soul fragment in the crown.

Speaking of which, Aiwen has always wanted to deal with that Horcrux, but because he was not in a hurry, he kept delaying it.

Just in time, use this opportunity to get rid of that Horcrux, and check whether there are any secrets hidden in the crown by the way.

Aiwen said goodbye to the mermaids, and resurfaced with the many magic materials exchanged.

It is now around ten o'clock in the evening, the dim moon is swaying in the thick clouds, and the cold wind is blowing.

Ivan was surprised to see Hermione was waiting on the shore alone, curled up in the grass on the shore holding a glass bottle containing blue magic fire.

She looked at the lake nervously, her body was shaking constantly because of the cold, she looked very pitiful.

"This girl, didn't she let her go directly to the castle, she has to wait here!" Ivan's heart warmed up, and Hermione felt a little sad.

He knew that Hermione was worried, so he had been waiting by the lake for him to come out.

Sure enough, as soon as she saw Aiwen crawling out of the lake, Hermione rushed over and hugged Aiwen tightly.
