The passage to this place relied on the resonance magic generated by the mermaid's singing, and it did not last long.
Once the singing stopped, the gap would close, and Elwyn would be trapped here.
He had to hurry to learn the secret of this place and leave before the gap closed.
Elwyn followed the raven's flight path and quickly passed through the rows of bookshelves.
There was a recessed alcove in the innermost part of the room, and there was a tall white marble statue inside.
It was Royna Ravenclaw!
Elwyn had seen her statue when he visited Ravenclaw's common room with Luna.
The marble statue of Ravenclaw was bigger than the one in the school's common room.
She seemed to be looking at Elwyn with a teasing smile on her face. It was beautiful, but it was a little intimidating.
The raven stopped above her head and tilted its head. Its blood-red eyes stared at Elwyn.
It let out a hoarse and mournful cry that made people shudder.
"Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind!"
The cold and strange voice that Elwyn heard before sounded again. This time, he noticed that the voice came from the raven.
"If you want Ravenclaw's reward, then bring her Coronet. I will show you all the secrets!"
"Ravenclaw's Coronet?!" Elwyn's eyes moved away from the raven and looked down.
He noticed that the statue of Royna Ravenclaw did not have the famous Coronet on its head.
This was indeed incredible. One had to know that the Coronet could be clearly seen on the existing portraits and sculptures of Royna Ravenclaw. Even all the written records were the same. Ravenclaw herself would never take off the Coronet.
It was considered a symbol of Royna Ravenclaw and had a special meaning.
For thousands of years, many wizards believed that Ravenclaw's Coronet had magical properties that could increase the wearer's wisdom.
This was a very famous legendary magic item that had been passed down in the Ravenclaw family for generations.
It was unknown if Ravenclaw's Coronet had any other uses other than increasing intelligence, but it was undoubtedly proof of intelligence and status.
This Coronet was also known as the 'Crown of Wisdom'. It was believed that only the smartest wizards in the world were qualified to wear it.
In the eyes of the world, Ravenclaw always carried Coronet because she was recognized as the smartest wizard.
But after she passed away, this precious magic tool disappeared without a trace.
No matter how the descendants searched the castle and her belongings, they could not find any trace of her. The Coronet had disappeared into thin air!
Since then, the disappearance of Ravenclaw's Coronet had become a mystery, and all kinds of rumors were flying.
Some said that Royna Ravenclaw could not bear to part with the Coronet and brought it to the grave.
Some thought that the Coronet had automatically hidden itself and would only appear again when a wizard with intelligence comparable to Royna Ravenclaw appeared.
But Elwyn knew that it was Ravenclaw's daughter, Helena Ravenclaw, who had stolen the Coronet.
She wanted to become smarter and more famous than her mother, so she escaped with the Coronet and hid in a forest in Albania, hoping to monopolize the treasure that did not belong to her.
No one knew about this. Ravenclaw never admitted that the Coronet was missing. She always pretended that the Coronet was still there.
She even hid her loss from the other three founders, hiding her daughter's terrible betrayal.
She didn't even bother to look for her crown. She pretended that nothing had ever happened.
Later, Ravenclaw fell sick, very sick. She hoped to see her daughter again before she died.
She sent a man who was deeply in love with Helena, the bloody Barrow, to find her.
But Barrow accidentally killed Helena in the end. Then, Barrow used the weapon to commit suicide.
Centuries have passed, and he still wears shackles to this day in repentance.
After death, both of them finally returned to the Hogwarts, but in the form of ghosts.
Because of all kinds of regret and regret, they stayed here forever, wandering in the ancient castle.
Helena did not see her mother in the end, nor did she receive her forgiveness, even though Ravenclaw might not have hated her.
Barrow, on the other hand, blamed himself for killing the person he loved with his own hands. He lived in endless pain, unable to find relief even after death.
As for Ravenclaw's Coronet, it was hidden in a hollow tree in the Albanian forest by Helena.
The story did not end here. Elwyn did not have to go to the desolate Albanian forest to find an ancient tree that was thousands of years old, nor did he have to go to Ravenclaw's library to flip through the ancient books and ask about the painful love between Helena and Barrow the Blood Barrow.
Because Lord Voldemort found the whereabouts of the lost Coronet, he went to the distant forest and retrieved the hidden Coronet.
He made the Coronet, which represented wisdom, his precious soul vessel, instead of leaving it in that lowly tree.
Then, Lord Voldemort secretly sent the Coronet back to its true home, hiding it in the Hogwarts' Room of Responsive Requests.
On the way back, Elwyn kept thinking about these things.
From the looks of it, he should thank Lord Voldemort for making the challenge left by Ravenclaw very easy.
As long as Elwyn returned to the castle and went to the Room of Responsive Requests to find the Coronet, he could bring it to the merfolk's next sacrifice, and he could get the secret treasure left by Ravenclaw.
The only thing he needed to pay attention to during the whole process was not to be affected by the soul fragment of Lord Voldemort in the Coronet.
Speaking of which, Elwyn had always wanted to deal with the soul vessel, but because he was not in a hurry, he had been delaying it.
Now, he could use this opportunity to get rid of the soul vessel and check if there were any secrets hidden in the Coronet.
Elwyn said goodbye to the merfolk and resurfaced with the many magic materials he had traded.
It was about ten o 'clock in the evening, the dim moon was swaying in the thick clouds, and the cold wind was blowing.
Elwyn was surprised to see Hermione waiting by the shore, hugging a glass bottle with blue magic fire and curled up in the grass by the shore.
She looked nervously at the lake, her body shivering because of the cold, and looked very pitiful.
"This girl, didn't I tell her to go back to the castle directly? Why did she have to wait here!" Elwyn's heart warmed, but he also felt a little sorry for Hermione.
He knew that Hermione was worried, so she had been waiting by the lake for him to come out.
