A squib?
A squib from the Ravenclaw family?
This squib was a pure descendant of the Ravenclaw family, and it appeared a thousand years ago when the bloodline was very pure.
This kind of thing was incredible no matter how one thought about it.
There was reliable data to prove that the frequency of squibs had gradually increased in recent centuries, mainly because of the intermarriage between Wizards and Muggle, and the fusion of the blood of both sides. This matter was often written as an example in books or magic research related to "pure-blooded supremacy."
In the Blake family's library, Elwyn found many such magic books, which he read as a pastime.
Although these books wanted to explain that arguments such as pure-blooded Wizards were superior were worthless, the data itself did not lie. The frequency of squibs was indeed related to the purity of the blood of both parents. If both parents were Wizards and had pure-blooded blood, the more likely the child was to be a Wizard. Based on this inference, in that era a thousand years ago, the probability of a direct descendant of a Wizard family like Ravenclaw being a squib was undoubtedly as low as a comet hitting the Earth.
"Wait, if this Young Master Darian isn't a squib …" Elwyn thought. "Then he can't be a Silent, right?!"
Compared to him being a squib, this reason seemed more believable and acceptable.
Darian Ravenclaw was not a squib, but a Silent!
It was not that he had no magic power; his magic power was just contained, or parasitized by some kind of dark magic power, making him lose the ability to cast spells. Although the number of Silent was equally rare, even much less than a squib, considering Darian's identity, this was obviously more credible than him being a squib.
Following this line of thought, what would be the reason for Darian to become a Silent?
Could it be that someone abused him, causing him to lose control of his magic power?
Or was he bewitched by an evil god, and his heart was parasitized by dark magic power?
Considering that the Death's Gate was in the center of the lake next to the castle, which was connected to the world of the evil god, Elwyn felt that the second possibility was more likely.
With the clues he had found so far, he quickly imagined a story: the original guardians sealed the Death's Gate and the evil god inside. The seal they left behind was very powerful, but as time went on, the power of the seal became weaker and weaker, and the spirit of the evil god gradually penetrated the real world from the alternate dimension.
By some kind of coincidence, it bewitched the young Darian, parasitized his heart, and then used Darian to cast evil black magic, gradually affecting the wizards of the Ravenclaw family, making them lose their minds and open the Death's Gate, leading to ultimate destruction …
As for why it was destruction and not the evil god's arrival, it was probably related to the magic left in the Ravenclaw family's ancestors in the castle.
This castle, when it was still intact, the overall building structure and internal settings formed a powerful protective magic.
As the ghost Markus said, the final designer set up magic in the castle, connecting the five towers on the periphery and the central tower, the "Summit of the Stars", as the convergence point. The internal structure of the castle was also built for this magic. In order to ensure the integrity of the magic runes, many passages were restricted.
Although the light and shadow did not show these, on the remaining stone walls of the castle, Elwyn still found some traces. It was an ancient magic text that was already unrecognizable, drawn by golden lines. Now only traces of the past could be seen vaguely, but it did exist. These traces were part of magic.
This proved that powerful magic had indeed been set up in this castle. It was not the kind of magic that was set up with a wand, but a powerful spell left by ancient alchemy. This magic was left by the ancestors of the Ravenclaw family or the first guardians. When the Death's Gate was opened, it was triggered to control all this.
Although there were still some things that Elwyn could not explain, such as how this powerful magic worked and what happened on the day the gate was opened, but compared to the initial confusion, things now gradually had an outline.
Of course, these were all Elwyn's guesses, but the possibility was very high.
This conjecture explained a lot of things that he found strange before. For example, why the ghost Markus could not see the traces of the black witches casting spells at the Death's Gate in the center of the lake, why he did not seem to notice these strange statues under the garden before Elwyn's reminder, and why it was very difficult to recall things about Young Master Darian, as if there was a force in the dark preventing him from recalling.
If these were all influenced by Darian's black magic, then there was nothing strange about it.
Elwyn pondered, carefully observing the stone statues below, looking for clues that might be left behind.
So far, these stone statues were the only things in this castle that were directly related to Darian Ravenclaw.
Perhaps he had carved them in the process of being parasitized or bewitched by the evil god. After all, losing reason was a gradual process and could not be accomplished overnight.
Through the huge hanging window, Elwyn carefully observed the statues on the outside of the garden near the banquet hall. Most of them were extremely abstract and indescribable things, or monsters that appeared in myths and legends such as Medusa. They gave him a vaguely familiar feeling.
They were like the evil god's creations he saw in the centaur temple, but there were many differences, and there was an inexplicable sense of incongruity.
As they approached the central tower of the castle, the "Summit of the Stars", the sense of incongruity on the statues began to grow stronger.
They seemed to become more abstract, but this kind of abstraction was not as traceless as it was at first, but gradually began to have some kind of pattern.
As for what the pattern was, Elwyn could not tell, but he had such a feeling.
Also, the evil god's aura on the statues became stronger and stronger!
Later on, Darian's power grew stronger, and his control over himself became weaker. These were all reflected through the statues in the garden.
"These statues must be related to the evil god, they're the creations of some evil god!" Elwyn was certain.
But it was not the evil god he was familiar with, it was …
Suddenly, as if he had sensed something, his gaze quickly passed through the open hanging window and the countless statues in the garden, and finally landed on a humanoid statue closest to the central tower that had been pushed to the ground. The statue itself was badly damaged and weathered, but under the light of magic, one could still vaguely see its original appearance.
From the back, it looked a bit like a Dementor!
Yes, a Dementor, the warden of the Azkaban Wizard Prison!
Elwyn could not be more familiar with these evil god's creations created by the despicable Haerbo!
Even if it was not very clear from this angle, he could be sure that it was a Dementor!
In other words, the evil god's aura that appeared here was the evil god transformed by the despicable Haerbo.
Inside the Door of Death was the space where the despicable Haerbo was!
