Ms. Ravenclaw's tone was very calm, and so were her emotions.
She did not seem to be affected by her daughter's death. It was as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. However, Elwyn knew that it was all an illusion. Ms. Ravenclaw's soul was suffering in a place that no one could see.
Her absolute wisdom allowed her to understand this kind of sadness and despair. She could even feel it more deeply than most people who were in despair or sadness. However, she could not feel it herself. It was all because of the thoughts driven by wisdom that she was feeling.
Ivan didn't know what kind of feeling this was. No one knew what it was!
What Lady Ravenclaw was experiencing and enduring was a pain that no one else could understand. Only she could know.
Having feelings and being able to vent her emotions at will was very common for others. However, it was out of reach for her.
"I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a mother. I didn't give Helena love and proper guidance. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have given birth to her. I let her bear my own sins," Ravenclaw said calmly.
The room fell into silence. Helena's tragedy was related to Ms. Ravenclaw, but no one could blame Ravenclaw. She was in more pain and blamed herself than anyone else. If someone had to blame someone, it should be the cold blood talent.
Stripping away all emotions, this was simply a gift from the devil. This great power was cursed.
It was ironic that this power was sought after. For thousands of years, it was talked about by all the sorcerers. However, everyone only saw the glory of Lady Ravenclaw as the smartest sorcerer in the world. Who could understand the pain hidden behind her?
There were gains and losses in everything in the world. The more power one wanted, the more things one had to pay.
Ms. Ravenclaw had given up all her feelings to obtain absolute wisdom.
Professor Dumbledore had given up his most cherished sister's life to obtain more power when he was young.
Lord Voldemort had given up his soul and humanity to obtain immortality.
Next, in order to obtain power beyond the imagination of ordinary people, he would give up his existence as a human …
This was a difficult multiple-choice question, and the sad thing was that not every choice was a happy one.
Most of the time, you might not have a choice. While you were choosing your destiny, destiny was also choosing you.
Elwyn sighed softly. After thinking for a while, he said in a comforting tone, "Professor, I don't know what Helena was thinking in the past, but after 1,000 years, Helena's ghost, the Helena I came into contact with, didn't blame you. She regretted stealing the Coronet and running away from home. She regretted not being able to see you for the last time. I think she must have wanted to apologize to you. She must have felt that you were a good mother. She felt the love you gave her in your own way … "
"Thank you, Elwyn. Just like Godric and the others, your soul can warm the people around you," Ravenclaw said. "At this moment, I feel warmth."
Following her voice, the sapphire in her hand once again emitted a gentle blue light, like the stars in the night sky.
The Coronet that was still on Elwyn's head changed again. The raven appeared and grabbed the sapphire. It flapped its wings and flew around the two of them at an extremely fast speed before flying back to Elwyn again, leaving a faint trace of light in the air.
The next second, Elwyn returned to the state he had entered at the tree hole.
He quickly calmed down, and all his emotions left him. At this moment, Elwyn could directly feel his soul.
All the sensations, emotions, and all the other sensations that came with his body disappeared. Only his soul floated there quietly.
Not knowing if it was because there was no physical restraint, Elwyn's senses and thoughts began to become abnormally active.
In this state, he could directly see through his body and see that there was a burning golden flame in his body.
This was the fire of the soul, Elwyn's origin!
Opposite him, where Lady Ravenclaw was, was a blue flame that was obviously much more vigorous than his own.
"The Coronet and this sapphire, they are the keys to the secret treasure that I left for you. Elwyn, you have passed my test, so, you have the right to have them." Ravenclaw said, "I have said before, this sapphire has my consciousness inside it. It will not provide you with a huge amount of magic like the Sorcerer's Stone that Godric left for you, but it will allow you to obtain the magic talent of my bloodline. As long as you wear the Coronet on your head, it will allow you to abandon all emotions, and the power of the Coronet itself will help you become more intelligent. Intelligence is the greatest wealth of humans. When you need to make the right choice, they can help you to be more clear-headed, unaffected by the surrounding emotions, and make a more sensible choice and decision. However, this is a cursed power. Many times, we should follow the heart to make a decision, and not use intelligence. So, whether you need to use this power or not, it will be up to you. "
Elwyn took the Coronet, and the strange feeling that gave him a strong sense of pressure disappeared.
Just like in the forest, all the emotions returned to his body in an instant.
It made him feel real, and at the same time, he also felt the existence of this world and himself.
Elwyn inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Lady Ravenclaw who was smiling at him.
What she gave him, it was really …
In a sense, Ravenclaw's Coronet and the sapphire that inherited Ravenclaw's will, this combination may represent the most powerful power in the world, far beyond the other legendary magic items that Elwyn had.
Intelligence is the greatest wealth of humans, especially the absolute wisdom that will not be disturbed and bound by emotions.
But as Ravenclaw said, this is a cursed power.
Elwyn was just sad about Lady Ravenclaw's encounter, and now he was faced with the same choice.
Almost without thinking, he decided not to use this Coronet easily when making an important decision, because Elwyn hoped that those important decisions will be based on his own heart, and not some cold absolute wisdom.
With this Coronet, he may not do those "stupid things" in the future, but he will not be Elwyn!
Among all the wills left by the four founders of Hogwarts, wisdom is only one of them.
As a Gryffindor, Elwyn felt that deep in his heart, he valued the courage of stupidity more.
These things may be childish, and may be laughed at by those "smart" people, but it is indeed the rarest and most precious quality, and should never be abandoned.
Of course, when learning magic, this Coronet is still very useful, a little more wisdom is not bad …
