Chapter 44: Tomb Raider?

During the Christmas holiday three years ago, Rolf met Helena for the first time on the Orient Express, and she wanted to take him to steal...ah, the treasure from her mother's tomb.

Rolf, who was still young at the time, directly rejected Helena's request.

After all, Newt taught Rolf since he was a child that Scamander was a clean and decent family who never did anything illegal!

So, of course Rolf couldn't go to rob a tomb, let alone the tomb of Ravenclaw.

Besides, the tomb of the Big Four must be very dangerous. Rolf has always been cautious and unwilling to take risks.

But as he went back a thousand years, Rolf met three of the Big Four. He also had a very short but deep exchange with Rowena Ravenclaw next to the Death Well.

Since then, Rolf changed his mind:

He wanted to enter Ravenclaw's tomb to see if she left him anything important.

Ravenclaw left the Death Well to him, so why not leave some relics in the tomb?

What's more, there are the bodies of Ravenclaw and Helena in the tomb. As the collector a thousand years ago, Rove wants to see them again a thousand years later...

Is it as Hufflepuff said, the body is incorruptible and well preserved.

So, after breakfast, Rove learned the skills of tying a ponytail from Shirley, and then took her out of the monastery to find the cemetery of Ravenclaw.

The two of them rode on a flying broom, along the river of the Clayd, and soon arrived at a towering mountain.

Rove recognized this place at a glance, and whispered to the ponytail girl: "Ravenclaw's tomb is hidden under this mountain."

Hearing this, Shirley stared at the mountain peak. She saw the foothills nearby, which were dark brown, and the mountains behind were higher and gray, and the towering white peaks were in the distance.

"How do we get in?" she asked curiously, "There should be an entrance to the tomb, right?"

Rolf recalled and said slowly, "I remember the entrance to the underground palace is at the foot of the mountain on the south side."

Shirley looked in the direction the boy pointed and saw a large forest on the southern hillside, and at the foot of the mountain was the wide Kled River, which meandered through and formed a huge arc.

"The river should have changed its course and submerged the entrance." Shirley guessed.

Rolf also thought so... This is also very normal. In the past thousand years, it is common for rivers to change their course.

The two flew towards the southern hillside, where the green and green were stacked, and the breeze blew over, and the leaves on the treetops whispered.

Rolf looked up at the surrounding mountains, and Shirley, who looked down, suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Rolf, what do you see there?"

The boy stopped the flying broom and looked down. He saw a round hole hidden in a thorn bush.

The width of the hole can accommodate two people walking side by side. The hole is evenly spaced, and there are steps below for people to step down.

This is obviously a man-made hole.

Although Rolf is not a professional, he has followed Newt around and heard him talk about exploring several large tombs.

So he can recognize at a glance that it is... a robbery hole.

Rolf's face sank, "It seems that someone has dug Ravenclaw's tomb."

Although there is no tomb raider in the wizarding world, there is a similar profession called... a curse breaker.

This is a position specially recruited by goblins. The main job is to break the magic in ancient tombs or other historical relics and bring the treasure back to Gringotts.

Charlie's eldest brother Bill Weiss became a curse breaker after graduation, specializing in breaking ancient tombs in Egypt.

Therefore, seeing a robbery hole is not good news. It at least means that a curse breaker has been here.

As for whether it has been opened to the tomb, it is hard to say.

The two continued to fly forward. Rolf focused on the ground and found four more robbery holes, which made him a little worried.

Ravenclaw's tomb, it can't be robbed by some blind guy, right?

When they were about to reach the bottom of the hillside, Rolf suddenly stopped, put his finger to his mouth and whistled softly.

Shirley understood, quietly pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

She heard faint voices, heavy footsteps and friction, as well as the sound of stones and branches falling, indicating that someone was climbing down the steep and tree-filled hillside, gradually approaching the river bank at the bottom of the mountain.

Suddenly someone spoke, it was a hoarse and harsh voice, Rolf knew it was the duck voice of a goblin.

"Tertius, we are here... To tell you the truth, this is not the tomb of Ingnessia Wildsmith!"

The wizard named Tertius sighed in disappointment.

"Poke... you fooled me. I was hoping to find the formula of Floo Powder in the tomb, but now I'm happy for nothing!"

Ingnessia Wildsmith was a witch in the 13th century who invented the famous Floo Powder.

And Floo Powder is a monopoly magic item. Its formula has been controlled by Floo Pen Company for six centuries.

Some people have always wanted to crack the formula of Floo Powder and then develop it themselves, but they have all failed.

It is rumored that there is a formula in Ingnessia Wildsmith's tomb, but no one can find her tomb.

As the most outstanding curse breaker in Gringotts, Tertius was lured here by Poke, but when he arrived at the place, he told him that it was not Ingnessia Wildsmith's tomb.

This made Tertius feel fooled. He was a little angry and wanted to kill the old goblin in front of him.

"Tertius, don't be angry." The goblin Poke laughed:

"Although this is not the tomb of Yingenecia Wildsmith, the owner of the tomb is a hundred times more noble than her..."

"Who?" Tertius asked curiously.

Pork grinned and said slowly: "Royina Ravenclaw."

Silence... a long silence.

Pork was very satisfied with the shock on Tertius's face. He chuckled and said:

"Compared with Ravenclaw's grave goods, what is a Floo powder? It's not bullshit!"

Tertius was indeed shocked. He was speechless for a long time before saying in disbelief:

"How did you know this was Ravenclaw's tomb?"

When mentioning this matter, Pork said proudly:

"When I was excavating the ruins of the ancient goblin kingdom... Nadia, I discovered cultural relics left by Legnak I. One of the stone tablets recorded this incident."

"Lagnac I..." Tertius pondered: "Is he the goblin king who helped Gryffindor make the sword?"

"It's him, Lagenak I... a great king! The best weapon forging master a thousand years ago!" Pork shouted with a proud tone.

He quickly corrected:

"However, King Lagunac never forged a sword for Gryffindor. Gryffindor sent someone to steal the sword after hearing about it!"

"All goblins know this history...Gryffindor first sent two students to Nadia Valley.

Because they were visitors to Hogwarts, and one of them claimed to be the son of Slytherin, King Legnac I warmly entertained them.

But they repaid kindness with hatred, sneaked into the treasure house and stole the sword! "

Pork's face twisted in anger, as if he was the one who had the sword stolen.

"Just when I was about to catch the two thieves, Gryffindor came. He was no match for I, but he still ran away with them."

Tertius heard Pork say that Gryffindor was defeated by Legnac I and became suspicious of the story.

He suddenly asked sharply: "Slytherin's son?"

"That's right." Pork said: "Gryffindor sent two students, one of whom is Cassandra Trelawney, your wizard's prophet.

There was also a young man who claimed to be a child of Slytherin, and also said that he wanted to marry Helena, the daughter of Ravenclaw... so Lagnak I warmly entertained them. "

Not far away, Luofu looked strange, which seemed to be talking about himself.

Shirley on the side also raised her head and glanced at the young man. She heard him talk about the process of getting the sword, which indeed included pretending to be the son of Slytherin in a snake accent.

But I have never heard him say that he wanted to marry... Helena Ravenclaw!
