Chapter 174 Let Your King Run to See Me!
Rolf originally intended to find the basilisk, chat with it when it was young, talk about the past and the future.
He didn't expect that after going around in circles, he accidentally entered Professor Ravenclaw's room, and was taken to the island in the middle of the lake by her, and watched some strange "small videos".
After Rolf went back, he kept thinking about the witch who killed him. He couldn't sleep because of thinking about it, so he went to find Ravenclaw again, wanting to talk to her in depth about the Death Well.
But he didn't find Ravenclaw, and asked Hufflepuff to find out that she had left Hogwarts alone to find Helena.
According to the context of historical development, Barrow would eventually get there first and find Helena first, and then after going crazy, both of them would die, turn into ghosts, and return to Hogwarts.
Rolf once suspected that Cassandra's prophecy to Helena, saying that he would resurrect her, would refer to this time.
Rolf had been to the Albanian forest and knew the exact location where Helena died. If he went there now and waited for her, he would definitely be able to save Helena.
Is this a resurrection in some sense?
But Rolf would never do that!
He still wanted to go back. Changing Helena's death might cause many wizards who were supposed to be born to disappear from history, and the future would become completely different.
That would no longer be the future Rolf wanted, and he certainly couldn't save Helena.
Wait... Rolf suddenly remembered the Ravenclaw crown. Why didn't he wait until Helena died and take it away?
Rather than leaving the crown in the heart of the tree for thousands of years and letting Tom make it into a Horcrux in the future, it would be better to steal it and put a fake in.
Anyway, Tom had never seen the real thing and couldn't tell the difference.
Besides, even if it was a fake, it would become an antique after a thousand years. It would be a loss for you to give it to you as a Horcrux? !
Rolf did what he said. He found Hufflepuff and asked her to help him make a crown drawing. When he was going to Cardia, he asked the goblins to make a replica.
The wizard's craftsmanship was too rough, and the goblin's jewelry could repel dust, so that after a thousand years, the crown would not rust, nor would it be covered with dust and old dirt.
Of course, the quality did not have to be too good, as long as it was acceptable.
Rolf certainly had no money to pay the goblin's labor fee, so he naturally owed his own dean Hufflepuff on credit.
The boy also pretended to write an IOU and generously promised a four-cent interest.
Anyway, there would be no chance to meet again in the future, and even if the interest rose to a mountain of gold, it would have nothing to do with Rolf!
Rolf's calculations were so loud that he decided to go all out and borrowed some money to stock up more goblin silverware and jewelry.
He planned to bury the jewelry deep underground and dig it out a thousand years later... It would really be a sky-high antique!
Get rich in one fell swoop!
This is what we call spending little money to do big things!
After studying the map for a few days, Rolf took Cassandra on the road to the fairy city-state... the Kingdom of Nadia.
But the journey was long, and the two of them needed a means of transportation.
There were no knight buses or express trains in this era, and even Muggles traveled by foot and carriage.
The flying broom was invented more than half a century ago:
A thick, long, rough, knotty ash stick with a few hazel twigs tied casually at one end.
It was neither comfortable to sit on nor aerodynamic, and the spells cast on it were pitiful.
It would only oscillate back and forth at an uncontrolled speed, without rising, falling, or pausing.
Rather than a flying broom, it was better to say... a witch's happy vibrator.
In short, it was not until the first half of the 19th century, when Elio Smeth invented the shock-absorbing spell, that the modern flying broom was truly born.
It was still 800 years away!
Of course, the flying broom with strong shock absorption ability, although it improves the comfort of the broom, is no longer popular among witches.
Although the flying broom cannot be used, there is still a flying carpet from the Middle East in this era, which can carry many people and is very comfortable.
Hufflepuff lent her improved flying carpet to Rolf. According to her, this flying carpet is the fastest in the world.
She has won the Hogwarts Flying Carpet Race Championship five times with it.
Hufflepuff is not bragging. Her flying carpet is indeed famous for its speed. It takes less than three seconds to accelerate to 100 kilometers.
When encountering a narrow gap, the magic carpet will automatically roll up, tightly wrap the passengers, and then rush out directly from the gap.
Rolf and Cassandra have never ridden this kind of strange flying carpet. The two had no experience at first. They were eating breakfast on the blanket and were tightly wrapped together, almost suffocating.
The flying carpet flew southeast at lightning speed and finally arrived in Cadia in three days.
Standing in midair, you can see a huge goblin statue from afar, towering at the entrance of the valley.
The guy is more than 100 meters tall, a giant cast of gold and silver, with his feet on both sides of the narrow entrance, and his right hand waving a huge sword.
Rolf was about to hit the statue, he looked at Cassandra who was still immersed in the story of King Arthur and his good friend Merlin, and asked:
"How does this thing go down?"
"Just say go down." Cassandra patted the flying carpet.
The flying carpet did not slow down gradually, nor did it go down, but suddenly turned over and shook the two of them down directly.
"..."
Rolf fell, free-falling in the sky, toward the rocky mountains below.
Cassandra desperately grabbed a corner of the flying carpet, but then the carpet shook suddenly, and she finally fell... with a scream.
Rolf had already taken off and was about to save Cassandra, but he found that the flying carpet flew to the ground, as if to catch them, and he fell with it.
When it was almost on the ground, the flying carpet suddenly caught them both, and they fell heavily into the flying carpet, as if they had fallen into a safety net, and the flying carpet completely absorbed their impact.
Cassandra staggered off the flying carpet, and she sat on the ground with weak legs, gasping for breath: "I hate flying carpets."
Rolf smiled, he thought it was okay, at least the package function was good.
He planned to get a flying carpet like this, and next time he took Shirley to the Forbidden Forest, he would not ride a flying broom, but a new means of transportation.
The flying carpet began to fold automatically, turning into a golden square scarf, which fell into Rolf's hands and the boy put it in his pocket.
The two walked towards the statue, and a group of goblins walked out five or six steps and shouted:
"Please do not approach, strangers!"
"I am here on behalf of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
A letter appeared in Rolf's hand, with a shield emblem on it, and a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake around the capital "H".
"Let your king run out to see me!"
"..."
