Chapter 54: The Third Wooden Coffin
Rolf took more than ten seconds to deal with the "special gift" left by Margaret.
He had this peak hand speed in his previous life, that is, when someone borrowed his phone, he deleted the browsing history at an amazing speed.
It can only be said that people can really burst out amazing power at the critical moment of social death.
But to be honest, some of the uniforms, whether in style or thinness, are really good, which makes Rolf like them very much.
Of course, this kind of liking is simply based on the angle of others wearing them, not that he has a special fetish!
After dealing with the clothes, Rolf checked the corners and under the bed again to prevent Margaret from putting some gadgets that vibrate with a remote control, which would destroy his glorious image.
After cleaning the room, Newt finally came back from the Forest of Dean, and then sat on the sofa with a tired face.
Soon, Shirley brought the freshly brewed black tea and placed it on the coffee table. After saying hello softly, she quickly walked back to the kitchen to help Tina.
Newt picked up the teacup and took a sip without changing his expression. Seeing his precious grandson looking at him, he asked, "Rolf, what's wrong with you?"
Rolf tilted his head towards the kitchen and whispered, "Grandpa, aren't you surprised to see Shirley?"
"Not surprised." The old man shook his head and said in a gentle voice:
"Albus wrote to me and said that you used the door key to return to England from Berlin, but I waited for a few days and didn't see you, so I knew you must have gone to find Shirley.
I asked your grandmother to clean up the room for you two."
Rolf raised his eyebrows slightly. No wonder Grandma Tina liked the autistic Newt back then. She was really thoughtful.
Newt looked at the boy through his thick bangs and whispered, "Bring her home this time...Are you still leaving?"
"No." Rolf shook his head and said, "I plan to let Shirley live at home during the holidays. The environment at the nunnery is too bad. I don't plan to let her go back."
"Well, you can make your own decision." Newt smiled, "But your grandmother and I like Shirley very much. She is a good child."
"My vision is not bad." Rolf grinned and said, "But there is another reason why I haven't come back for so many days..."
"Did anything happen?"
Rolf hummed softly and said, "I found Ravenclaw's tomb near the monastery where Shirley is."
"Ravenclaw's tomb?" Newt was not too surprised, because he knew that Rolf had returned a thousand years ago and had contact with the four giants... It was not surprising that he knew the location of the tomb.
Rolf quickly told everything that had happened in the past few days.
Newt pondered for a long time, and then he asked doubtfully:
"Shirley was able to pass through the tomb, and she lived in a monastery near Ravenclaw's tomb... Could she be a descendant of Ravenclaw?"
"No." Rolf said with certainty: "After Ravenclaw and Helena died, the Ravenclaw family was completely extinct, leaving no bloodline, but..."
He paused and continued: "She may have some relationship with one of the four giants, and I am just guessing the details..."
"Is that so." Newt nodded, and seeing that Rolf was unwilling to say more, he did not ask too much.
"In addition to the bodies of Ravenclaw and Helena, I also found a very strange thing." Rolf said.
"What is it?"
"A wooden coffin... The coffin was very large, but there was no text on it, only a mark engraved on the coffin lid."
"Deathly Hallows." Newt murmured.
"How do you know?" Rolf was a little surprised, "Have you also encountered the ghost ship?"
"I haven't encountered a ghost ship, but I have seen the wooden coffin in one place." Newt said seriously.
"Where?"
"Forbidden Forest...Centaurs!"
"Centaurs?" Hearing this familiar name, Rove was a little stunned for a moment
"You should know that I have been to the Centaurs many times before."
Rove nodded and said, "I heard Ronan talk about this. You would bring them fireworks and food from Hogsmeade, but I never went there again."
"There is a reason for not going." Newt recalled:
"At that time, there was a disease in the Centaurs that no one could cure, so I stayed there for half a year.
Once, when the Centaurs held a sacrifice, I accidentally saw a wooden coffin, which was the wooden coffin you described.
The Centaurs leader was very angry and asked me to leave the tribe. Since then, I have never been there again."
Rove pondered. If the wooden coffin of the Centaurs is counted, there are already three identical coffins.
Or...are these three wooden coffins actually the same coffin?
Rove is not sure, but he only needs to go to the Centaurs Tribe once. If he sees the wooden coffin with his own eyes, he can be sure...it is not the same coffin!
The boy mentioned the apple tree again. He took out a dozen golden apples and handed them to Newt, saying:
"Grandpa, if you feel weak, you can eat one and it will restore your energy immediately."
"Oh, is it so magical?" Newt took the golden apple, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed:
"This golden apple reminds me of the snakewood tree in Yin Famouni. As long as you eat a leaf, your injury will be healed."
"I also think of that snakewood tree." Rolf said: "I remember it was planted by Yin Suo Sel, the builder of Yin Famouni Magic School, right?"
"You have to ask your grandma, she is a graduate of Infermony, and we are both from Hogwarts." Newt shouted with a smile:
"Tina, the snake tree in your school was planted by Yin Suo Seer, right?"
Tina was busy in the kitchen. She stuck her head out and asked doubtfully: "Why do you think of asking this?"
"Rolph brought some golden apples, which look like snakewood and have magical properties." Newt explained.
"Oh, that's right." Tina nodded and said, "The snake tree was indeed planted by Yin Suo Seer, but she planted not a seed, but a magic wand."
"Wand?"
"That's right." Tina said in an old voice, "Every student of Yinfamoni knows the story about the founder of the school, Yinsuo Seer."
"She was born in the seventeenth century and was a pure-blood witch in Ireland. She later took the Mayflower to the New World of America and built Yinfalmorny with her husband James Stewart." Tina said slowly:
"Later, Yinso Seer buried her wand in the ground. Within a year, a snake tree grew where the wand was buried. Its leaves have powerful medical effects."
A magic wand turned into magical snakewood...Rolf soon fell into deep thought.
