"After receiving the appointment from the Elders Council, we sent someone to seek help from the Vatican." Malfoy turned to face the crowd in the hall and raised his voice. "Everyone here is the best of the best and most powerful wizards in the magic world. You might know that Lady Ravenclaw's Coronet symbolizes wisdom. It can increase the wearer's wisdom and enhance their ability to sense magic. It's the most famous magic tool left behind by the spellcasters of the previous era. As the only inheritor of the magic civilization of the previous era, the Vatican has a unique way to verify the authenticity of such precious magic items. That is the Prophecy Spell. Therefore, we decided to seek help from the Vatican. This is the only and fastest way to verify the authenticity of Lady Ravenclaw's Coronet. We are honored that Bishop Brex, who is currently a guest in London, is willing to help us. He happens to be proficient in the Prophecy Spell … "
Every time he finished his sentence, a heated discussion broke out in the hall.
Judging from the reactions of many people, they actually did not know about the origin of the Coronet or how to verify its authenticity.
This was a secret that only the truly ancient pure-blooded wizard families and powerful wizards knew. However, Malfoy announced it now to let everyone know the importance of the Coronet and the impact of the loss of the Coronet. The more they dealt a heavy blow to Ravenclaw, the more benefits they could reap.
After all, many students knew that the Coronet that Ravenclaw always carried was valuable, but they did not expect it to be this valuable.
Even in this era, legendary magic items from the previous era were very rare.
It was as if someone suddenly went up on stage during breakfast to educate the whole school about the Sacred Weapon of Death, and then told everyone that the wand in Dumbledore's hand was one of the Sacred Weapons of Death, the Old Wand, the most powerful wand in the legends.
Imagine the reaction of the students when they found out about this. It should not be much different from the scene in front of them.
"Do you guys think what he said is true?"
"It must be fake. Malfoy's words cannot be trusted."
"But this kind of thing can't be faked. I've heard of the legend of Lady Ravenclaw's Coronet …"
"Don't forget that Ms. Ravenclaw is the smartest wizard in the world. It's not a problem for her to have the legendary Coronet. What I'm trying to say is that Malfoy and Peverell's claim that the Coronet was stolen is false. It's impossible."
As the students discussed, Elwyn took out the Coronet from the cloth bag and looked at it carefully.
The Coronet was now in his hands. This legendary magical item was not as magical as Malfoy had described.
Elwyn knew that it was not as simple as it looked. There were so many legends about it, but no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary iron hoop with a simple design. It was rusty, the kind that no one would waste time to pick up if it was thrown on the ground.
It had been like this ever since Elwyn found it in the House of Granted Wishes.
In fact, as the former soul vessel of Lord Voldemort, it had been seriously damaged when Elwyn destroyed the soul inside. Although it was repaired, it was still as ordinary as ever, as if it would break at the slightest touch. Its most miraculous time was in the Mermaid's Chamber. Under the effect of the magic left behind by Ravenclaw, the Coronet had been repaired and turned into a raven. It then returned to its normal state after relaying important information to Elwyn.
It seemed like it had used up all its mana. No matter how much Elwyn studied it, there was no reaction …
Elwyn had seen many legendary magical items, but this Coronet could be said to be the most ordinary one.
On the stage, Armand Malfoy expressed his gratitude to the cardinal once again.
"Saving the pitiful lost sheep is my duty. The gods will help us to see the truth!" Brex said sincerely.
"Enough, I don't believe this guy, and I don't believe you. Rowena's Coronet was not lost!" Gryffindor said stubbornly. "Since you know that Coronet so well, Malfoy, you must know that it will choose the smartest wizard as its master …"
"Obviously. I have the highest respect for Lady Ravenclaw's wisdom, but unfortunately, if the Coronet was really stolen, it means that she is no longer the smartest wizard in the world." Malfoy said, "According to the duty given to me by the Elder Council, I must investigate this matter thoroughly and find the stolen Coronet and the new wisest wizard. This is very important to us. I must remind you again that the Coronet is not Lady Ravenclaw's or the Hogwarts' personal property, but the common wealth of the magic world. It is passed down from generation to generation among the wisest wizards, and its symbolic meaning is greater than its own magic power. "
"I agree with what you said. Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind." Ravenclaw said calmly and made a hand gesture to Gryffindor. "So, I agree with this cardinal to verify the Coronet. What do you need me to do?"
"Oh, you don't need to do anything. The gods will guide us!" Brex said and raised the scepter in his hand high.
Almost instantly, a white ray of light descended from the sky and landed on him.
It was a beautiful move. Many students looked at him with their mouths wide open. What kind of magic was that?!
Even though the hall was well-lit, Elwyn still felt as if his vision had cleared up when the white light appeared. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the gentle white light gradually spread into a pillar of light. Then, a second, a third, and a fourth pillar of light sprinkled down …
The number of light pillars increased, and the area they covered became larger and larger.
They emitted a gentle white light that gradually relaxed people's nervous minds. It was a pleasant feeling.
Elwyn could even hear faint hymns in these light pillars, as if they came from heaven.
In the hall, the wizards all quieted down and stared at the cardinal on the stage, feeling the magic he was casting.
These light pillars and hymns had a magical effect on people that could calm them down.
Many muggle students even began to pray, their mouths muttering incantations. The magic of wizards would not produce such an effect. It was easy for them to produce light or sound, no matter how strong it was, but it would not have the effect of calming the hearts of the students.
There was a certain degree of soul magic involved in this, but it was also different …
Elwyn could not explain it clearly. In short, it was very magical.
Just seeing this magic meant that he did not come back for nothing. He would not be able to see this in the future.
As more and more light pillars appeared, the sacred hymns in the hall became clearer.
If there really was a god, then this must be a miracle!
