In the Scottish Highlands, Allen was lying by a stream. Luna's words, "Goodbye, Allen." The words kept replaying in his ears and heart. He felt as if his internal organs were being squeezed into a ball. The purple color around him made him feel as if his breathing had stopped. What was going to happen to Luna? Even after he was sent here, the curse on his finger bones was still preventing him from moving.
Longing occupied almost all the space in Allen's heart, eating away all other thoughts. He did not know how much time had passed. His consciousness had fallen into a daze until a loud noise came from beside him.
"Ouch … It hurts … I'm not riding this stupid thing anymore." A rather magnetic female voice complained. "Where?"
She looked at Allen by the stream. Rustling sounds could be heard as she walked through the flowers. She walked towards Allen, then squatted down and lowered her head to observe the swelling on his face and finger bones. She then spat and said in a tone full of disgust, "Really? With a warthog? "
In a trance, Allen tried to identify the person in front of him through his blurry eyes. However, he could only vaguely see the outline of a woman in a black robe. Then, the woman raised her hand and a red light flashed in front of his eyes. Allen, who was seriously injured and could not move, was shocked. Although he did not know why the woman would attack him, he found that he was not panicking. Instead, he closed his eyes because of his swollen face and waited for his fate to come.
The red light flashed, but nothing happened. Then, Allen heard the woman's sigh. Her voice sounded very young.
The pain and exhaustion made his vision more and more blurry. After a short while, Allen's vision turned black and he lost consciousness. However, the woman's intonation and words left a deep impression on Allen before he fainted because he felt that it was very strange and old-fashioned. "This accent seems to be Anglo-Saxon. It seems that I have returned to the time before the Normans occupied England …"
It was not until the fusion of Norman French and Anglo-Saxon that the embryonic form of modern English came into being. Noble occupations or affairs were affected by Norman French, while the natives who were ruled could only engage in some lowly occupations. Some low-class things were described in Anglo-Saxon.
When the woman saw that Allen had fainted, she used her dirty hands to take out a pile of bottles and jars. She picked up a small black bottle, opened the cork, and turned it upside down. A drop of mercury dripped out of it. The silver droplet reflected a golden glow under the sunlight. She pointed her wand at the drop of mercury, which was still in the air, and the mercury turned into a slightly concave disc-shaped force field. It looked like a large floating plate.
She then pointed her wand at Allen's body. Allen's body was lifted up by a pair of invisible hands and placed on the floating plate. The floating plate floated in the air and moved along with the witch. Before she left, she even kicked the broken broom.
Back in Ravenclaw Tower, Penello was the first to open the door to the underground garden. The neatly divided magic garden was planted with a variety of precious magic plants. Compared to its previous messy appearance, it now looked less natural. This was Hermione's masterpiece.
"I haven't been down here for a long time. Hermione, you've planned it so well." Albert held his sister Emily's hand. He was a little unfamiliar with the scene in front of him. He rarely came to this floor of the tower. The scene in front of him was completely different from what he remembered.
In the center of the garden, there was a small patch of bramble mustard field with green toothed leaves and lavender flowers. Penello pointed at the area that looked very inconsistent with the surrounding plan. "There it is. The crazy maiden didn't ask you to leave this piece of land for her to play with you?"
Hermione noticed that Penello had started to call the witch "crazy maiden" again. Although she did not transform into an Animagus, seeing the bramble mustard reminded her of the awkward situation she was in. She coughed softly and said, "Let's move the mud away and we'll know."
They waved their wands at the same time, and the bramble mustard flew up from the mud and landed in a corner, neatly stacked. This was all thanks to Hermione. Although she wanted to copy Penello and casually throw these things aside, she gave up after a few seconds. She then piled them up neatly and heaved a sigh of relief …
"Tsk … I don't know what she's hiding. She didn't tell us." Penello put down his wand and leaped forward. Hermione quickly followed. There was a bronze cellar door on the ground with an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker. It was almost the same as the old wooden door at the entrance of Ravenclaw Academy.
Hermione turned around and looked at the Harris siblings. They both saw surprise in each other's eyes. After digging up the bramble mustard field, there was actually something else.
"This is the cellar. Hmm … If we include this floor, the Ravenclaw Tower has a total of seven floors. Most wizards think that seven is the most magical number. I was wondering why the number of floors in the tower is six." Ebert was enlightened. For a magical item like a wizard tower, seven floors was the most common configuration.
Penello reached out and wanted to knock on the door, but Hermione grabbed his wrist. "Wait, Penello. What if there's danger behind this door? Let's check with the detection trap first … "
"No matter what, it's safer than going through the curtain. Besides, the crazy girl won't hurt Allen." Penello broke free from Hermione's hand and pulled the door knocker. When he realized that the door wouldn't budge, he remembered what he did when he was still a student. He knocked on the door again with the knocker.
Hermione was a little dissatisfied with his straightforwardness and muttered, "I just want to say that we should at least be more cautious and make some preparations. Luna told Allen to come back and dig … "
"Because of light, I lost my light. If someone gives me light, I will help his feet. What am I?" At this time, the Eagle Ring opened his mouth and asked — just like the test to enter Ravenclaw Common Room.
"Torch, oil lamp, open the door." Penello gave two answers as soon as the Eagle Ring asked the question. "Hmph, I used to answer this question when I was a student. What a boring trick."
"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind." The door chain creaked open, and the cellar door opened.
Hermione heard Penello's complaint before she had time to think about the question. She had been a senior manager for a period of time and understood what Penello was thinking. Penello used to be proud of being a student of Ravenclaw, but now she suddenly found out that Luna was the founder of the academy … She must be very conflicted. She was deliberately trying to lower Luna's position so that she wouldn't feel so inferior …
It was dark inside. Without hesitation, Penello rushed into the dark room and walked down the spiral stairs. She wanted to know more about Allen.
