Chapter 61: Ravenclaw's Dream
"We're here, this is the hidden room we discovered!"
After spending quite some time on the spiral staircase,
the staircase under the three of them, from the second floor to the third floor, finally turned and linked to a staircase that was rarely linked to.
Not far away, Jia Siting gently knocked on the wall here and said excitedly.
After three crisp sounds, this wall, which was almost not illuminated by firelight, actually revealed a painting.
"We encountered it by accident... but after answering the painting's question, we suddenly entered that room.
Although there is a lantern, but—Lumos."
The tip of Jia Siting's wand emitted a faint fluorescent light, followed by Hermione, whose wand tip's light was much brighter than Jia Siting's.
At this time, Sean came over with a wand as bright as a light bulb.
"Oh, Sean..."
Jia Siting exclaimed in a low voice, and the three of them focused their attention on this painting.
The canvas was yellowed and cracked due to its age, but what was painted on it was not some majestic wizard, but a snow-white owl wearing a velvet vest and small pince-nez glasses.
It was using one claw to struggle to straighten its glasses, and the other claw was holding a roll of old parchment.
"What are you looking at! Owls are also eagles!"
Hearing its shrill voice, Hermione laughed out loud first.
Followed by Jia Siting,
and even Sean lifted the corners of his mouth.
"It's you again! What are you laughing at!"
The owl flapped its wings, and Sean seemed to hear the sound of wind.
"I, I remembered something happy."
Hermione defended herself with a red face.
This time Sean couldn't hold it in.
"What are you laughing at again!"
"I also remembered something happy."
Sean said in a low voice.
He never expected that he could see some shadows of his previous life's movies on an owl.
"You are clearly laughing at me! You haven't stopped!"
The owl flapped in a rage, and the parchment held under its feet also shook wildly.
"Sorry."
"Sorry."
"Apologies."
Before it completely stopped the three from entering, the three of them apologized sincerely while holding back their laughter.
"Wretched little wizards, if you want to go in, answer my question!"
It unfolded the parchment under its feet. Sean and the others didn't know if it could understand it as an owl,
but after picking for a while, it did ask a question:
"Hogwarts, peaceful Hogwarts... please tell me, why was Hogwarts located here."
Its head rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, and then it asked this question haughtily.
Jia Siting and Hermione were stunned.
"Its question, how did it change? Wasn't it asking for Rowena Ravenclaw's real name before?"
Jia Siting couldn't believe it,
"Hermione, do you know?"
Jia Siting cast his seeking-help gaze on Hermione.
The little witch with fluffy brown hair thought hard for a while, and finally shook her head.
"Little wizard, stupid little wizard!"
The owl seemed very proud, and it chattered.
"Because of Ravenclaw's dream."
Just then, a discordant voice drifted over.
Sean finished speaking softly.
The owl didn't flap anymore, but almost fell down.
"How do you know—"
It exclaimed, and then bowed gently and stiffly.
With the flapping of its wings, a crack also split on the wall, revealing a sky-blue door.
Sean twisted the eagle-shaped door handle thoughtfully.
Opening this door, inside was a spacious space.
Some desks were scattered in the center of the room, covered in dust;
in one corner of the room, a huge bookshelf was tilted, most of the books were scattered on the ground, and the pages were brittle and yellow;
in another corner were piled some strange-looking instruments: a set of complex crystal lens devices, and several glass cabinets with broken labels.
Besides that, there was nothing else.
"Sean, Ravenclaw's dream, what does this mean?"
Before practicing magic, Jia Siting couldn't help but ask this question.
"Legend has it that the location of Hogwarts was decided by Rowena Ravenclaw...
Ravenclaw from the lakeside, she once dreamed of a warty hog, which led her to the edge of a cliff, so a school was established here..."
Sean stated the past that had drifted away with the wind a thousand years ago in a storytelling tone.
Jia Siting couldn't help but move closer to Sean, his face full of expectation and longing.
Hermione also put down her wand, her eyes shining in the fluorescent light.
The three gathered around Sean's wand, huddling together in the dark environment.
"Hogwarts, wart hog, aren't they very similar? Legend has it that this is the origin of the name Hogwarts."
"Wow—"
Jia Siting exclaimed subconsciously.
Hermione had long covered her mouth.
"What a wonderful story, just like Peter, um, Peter what's-his-name..."
Jia Siting frowned.
"It's The Tales of Beedle the Bard."
Hermione glared at the spoilsport Jia Siting and replied unhappily.
"Oh oh."
Jia Siting scratched his head and gently lit the magic lantern.
After the wonderful story ended, what the three little wizards had to face was wonderful magic.
Levitation Charm, simple and practical magic,
is one of the easiest magic for little wizards to master in the early stages.
However, even such simple magic is still a problem for little wizards who have just enrolled.
"Failed again..."
The feather Jia Siting was carrying fell after floating for three seconds. This obviously didn't meet the minimum requirement of ten seconds.
【You practiced the Levitation Charm once to a Novice standard, proficiency +3】
Sean automatically isolated the surrounding sounds; he was always focused.
"Hmm..."
The feather in front of Jia Siting fell slowly again. This time he persisted for one more second, but it still wasn't enough.
【You practiced the Levitation Charm once to a Novice standard, proficiency +3】
【You practiced the Levitation Charm once to a Novice standard, proficiency +3】
"Dropped again..."
【You practiced the Levitation Charm once to a Novice standard, proficiency +3】
【You practiced the Levitation Charm once to a Novice standard, proficiency +3】
【You practiced the Levitation Charm once to a Novice standard, proficiency +3】
Constantly practicing successfully, while increasing 30 points of proficiency,
Sean felt his magic power disappear completely, his arms became very sore, and his breathing became much faster.
Magic power, um, let's call it magic power, is a magical existence.
Unlike the blue bar in the fantasy world, it will be directly reflected on the wizard.
The performance is fatigue, lack of spirit.
It is not some elusive spiritual power,
but is closely related to the wizard's body.
However, it is obviously recoverable, and can even be felt,
after all, it is easy to distinguish between full of spirit and dead.
During this time, Sean noticed the distressed Jia Siting.
He was changing various gestures trying to keep the feather floating, but unfortunately, the feather either suddenly popped up or floated shakily, and then fell quickly. ===== CHAPTER 62 =====
