Elwyn once again returned to the bottom of the lake, where it was as quiet as ever.
Whether it was the battle that had just ended or the imminent return of Lord Voldemort, neither affected the lives of the merfolk.
Just like in the past, they gathered from the nearby waters to carry out their ancient sacrificial ritual.
Although they were members of the magical world, the merfolk had their own unique and closed circle of life.
No matter how much strife there was in the human world, it did not affect them. It had been like this for thousands of years, and Lord Voldemort would not be interested in the merfolk's territory.
They had lived here for generations, aloof from worldly affairs, regardless of who was in the castle!
However, after seeing Elwyn's arrival, there were still many merfolk who went up to ask about what was happening in the castle.
Even though they lived under the lake, they had heard of Lord Voldemort's name and knew the terrible things he had done in the past.
Elwyn chatted with the merfolk for a while, and when the gap in the tail of the statue opened, he went in.
Following the path he had taken before, he soon came to the huge stone door that was different from the others.
The dark blue raven stood quietly above the stone door, its two ruby eyes sparkling under the light of the wand.
It had become the same as before, without any aura, as if it was a dead object.
But after his previous experience, Elwyn would not think so. This thing was not simple.
In terms of alchemy, this raven already had the best alchemy knowledge and was alive!
Whether the person who made it was Rowena Ravenclaw or not, and no matter how she did it, there was an indisputable fact in front of him that he could not help but admire: she had given life to a dead object and made it immortal!
Alchemy was born in ancient Egypt. At that time, Egypt still belonged to the era of the ancient magic civilization where ancient warlocks dominated.
In Elwyn's view, although those powerful pharaohs, priests, and ancient warlocks had created many unimaginable magic, in fact, there was only one thing they desperately wanted to achieve, and that was to conquer death.
They conducted research from the perspective of alchemy and necromancy, and achieved shocking results.
For example, the Sorcerer's Stone and the Soul Tool were just a small part of their research.
Elwyn carefully looked at the raven. After studying it for a while, he walked over and gently knocked on the door.
The eagle's beak opened at once, and said in a cold, sinister voice, "In accordance with the will of the master, my door is open only to the wisest. Strange visitor, I will ask you questions to see if your intelligence meets the requirements. If your answer is correct, I will open the door for you to enter; if your answer is wrong, you will welcome death! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful magic power surrounded Elwyn, and the raven on the gate suddenly flew up.
It circled above Elwyn's head, its blood-red eyes staring at him.
"Ask away!" Elwyn said, confident that he could answer the other's question.
Just like the door to Ravenclaw's common room, every time he knocked on the door, there would be a different problem.
Some were simple, some were very difficult. This was the magic that Lady Ravenclaw had personally arranged.
After the last time, Elwyn asked Luna to take him to Ravenclaw's common room to practice and accumulate experience.
"Phoenix or fire, which one comes first?"
So it was this question, Elwyn immediately replied, "This is a cycle, there is no starting point, and there is no end!"
Phoenix was born in the raging fire and dissipated in the flames. This kind of magical creature was very difficult to really die.
But nature is fair. While giving Phoenix a strong vitality, it also greatly limited their number.
It must be known that among all wands, the number of wands made of Phoenix's tail feathers was relatively small, because the number of Phoenix was far less than Fire Dragon, Unicorn and other magical creatures. In addition to Dumbledore's fox, Elwyn had not seen any other Phoenix.
"Correct answer, visitor! The smartest person should be rewarded! "The stone door slowly opened.
The powerful force that controlled Elwyn disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed.
He walked in and took out Ravenclaw's Coronet. Ignoring the magic books that were protected by magic, he quickly walked to the innermost side of the room and came to the beautiful statue of Lady Ravenclaw.
The raven gently landed on top of her head, tilted its head, and stared at Elwyn with its blood-red eyes.
Its eyes fell on the Coronet in Elwyn's hand, flashing a strange red light.
"Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind!" It issued a hoarse and mournful cry to Elwyn, "Visitor, you have passed the first test. Put Lady Ravenclaw's Coronet where it should be, and I will show you the hidden secret!"
Elwyn took out his wand and guided the Coronet in his left hand, letting it float in the air and slowly float upwards.
With a crisp click, the Coronet landed accurately on the head of the statue, perfectly fusing with it.
With a slight tremble, the raven stared at Elwyn. He seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism.
Elwyn blinked his eyes in a daze, as if nothing had happened.
What was going on? What was Ravenclaw's secret?
Then, he realized that the scenery around him had changed. He was no longer in the sealed secret room.
Elwyn appeared on a large ship that was shaking non-stop. Around him was an endless blue ocean, and he could even smell the salty smell of the sea.
Then, he saw Rowena Ravenclaw. She was standing on the deck in front of him, smiling at him.
Soul magic again!
Just like Gryffindor, Ravenclaw preserved a part of her soul in some way.
But it seemed a little different. Lady Ravenclaw did not speak to Elwyn, and this was not a powerful illusion.
Gryffindor's soul could be preserved with the help of the magic stone and the power of the stars.
In Ravenclaw's secret room, other than the uncomfortable raven, Elwyn did not feel any strong power.
Without the support of magic, her soul would not have been preserved, and it was impossible for her to have the power to create an illusion.
But no matter how powerful her magic was, it was impossible for her to do this!
Elwyn looked around and carefully felt his surroundings. This world was a bit similar to the memories he saw in the meditation basin and Tom Liddell's diary. A memory of the past was preserved through a special method for later generations to see. He was reliving Rowena Ravenclaw's memory.
The Ravenclaw in front of him was wearing a sky-blue wizard robe. She was about 17 or 18 years old, and looked so beautiful that people could not look at her directly.
