Chapter 378 The Lost Crown

Ravenclaw's diadem... of course Rolf had seen it. Not only had he seen it, he had also touched it and worn it.

In fact, the diadem was lying quietly in his box at this moment.

So, when Rolf heard the secretive librarian suddenly mention the diadem, he immediately became alert. He didn't know whether she just said it casually or knew something and deliberately mentioned it in front of him.

Rolf, who was always cautious, immediately used the magic of the Night Tapir "Memory Surge" to construct false memories in his mind to resist possible Legilimency.

While playing with his wand, he looked directly at the black fog in front of him and said calmly:

"I have heard of Ravenclaw's diadem, but I have never seen it. It is said that it has been missing for a thousand years."

"More than a thousand years." An old voice sounded leisurely in the black fog.

"To be honest, the crown has been missing for 10,000 years. It only appeared briefly for more than ten years during this 10,000 years, and then disappeared again with the death of Ravenclaw."

"10,000 years?" Rove frowned. "What do you mean?"

The witch in the black fog did not answer immediately, but raised her arm and pointed to the bookshelf and asked:

"In this Tower of Babel, there are a large number of books left by ancient wizards, as well as various magic books written by wizards, centaurs, giants and goblins in the past 10,000 years."

"How long do you think it will take for ordinary wizards to learn them all?"

Rove looked up, and after a long time, he whispered:

"This tower is thousands of meters high, and the books stored in it are hard to match even if all the libraries of all magic schools are added together, let alone Hogwarts.

"For ordinary people, just flipping through these books without understanding them is a huge project that is difficult to complete in a lifetime, let alone learning. "

The witch in the black fog smiled and said:

"You are right. This is also true for many ancient wizards."

"Even if they use the elixir of life to have a long life and can read all these books, they cannot learn those profound knowledge."

"It's nothing... their intelligence can't keep up!"

"So, the crown was made by ancient wizards." The witch said hoarsely:

"It can activate the brain, greatly improve intelligence, memory, insight, creativity... let the wearer have the most intelligent mind."

The witch's old and hoarse voice was full of yearning.

"With the help of the crown, those knowledge that were difficult to understand in the past will become extremely simple; the difficult problems that could not be solved in the past can also be easily answered. "

"For ordinary people, the books in this tower are impossible to learn in a lifetime, but wearing the crown, it is possible to master them in just a few years. "

Rove was a little shocked. "So exaggerated? ”

He had worn Ravenclaw's crown before, but it did not have any intelligence-enhancing effect. Although Hufflepuff told him that only Ravenclaw knew how to use it, the boy still looked down on the crown in his heart.

But now listening to the librarian's words, the ability of this crown is too amazing!

"That crown is even more exaggerated than I said." The witch smiled slightly and said:

"It can be said to be the epitome and peak embodiment of ancient wizard civilization, and it is also praised by ancient wizards as the 'Crown of Magic'."

"But unfortunately..." The witch's words were full of regrets. "Before the doomsday catastrophe, the crown was stolen."

"Stolen?" Rove asked: "Who stole it?"

The witch in the black fog stared at the boy, she narrowed her eyes with a pair of golden eyes, and slowly said: "Our ancestors - humans!"

Rove raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this answer. "How do you know that it was stolen by humans? "

"The builder and keeper of this tower is named Andal. He is a giant. One morning, he found that his crown was missing." said the witch.

"Andal was suspected by his master, an ancient wizard, that he had stolen the crown, so he was going to hang him.

Before he died, a human holding a crown appeared and saved Andal from death."

"Andal?" When Rolf heard this name, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it Andal I, the founder of the Giant City?"

After the doomsday catastrophe ten thousand years ago, wizards, centaurs, fairies and giants gained freedom and began to live and multiply all over the world.

There was a brilliant giant kingdom in England, and a luxurious capital, the Giant City, was built.

According to the records of magic history, the founder was called the giant Andal.

"Yes, it was him." The woman nodded and said, "He built the Giant City in Anglia back then."

"Anglia?"

"This is the name from ten thousand years ago. "The witch said, "You now call it England - Upper Barnton Giant Site."

Rove had a blank expression on his face, but his heart was already in turmoil.

The Giant City has been lost for thousands of years, so its exact location has never been known, and there is no conclusion among magic historians.

But last year, under the leadership of Corvinus Gaunt, Rove learned that the Giant City was deep underground in the Upper Barnton Giant Tribe Site near his home, Fertile Plain.

Such a secret thing was revealed by the librarian hidden in the black fog in front of him.

"How do you know these things?" Rove asked.

"There is a record, although it is just a fragment." The woman said, raising her arm, and a book flew over from the bookshelf.

It was a thick book with a faded leather cover. After opening it, there were tattered yellowing pages, densely covered with words.

"The author of this book is named Zist. He was the healer of Andal I." The woman knocked on the book and said:

"When Andal went crazy, he told many secrets, and Zist wrote them down, one of which was about the theft of the crown."

"Crazy?" Luo Fu was stunned.

"Yes." The witch nodded and said: "After the doomsday catastrophe, humans, giants, goblins and centaurs formed a coalition to fight against the surviving ancient wizards.

In the end, a giant held a weapon and killed the ancient wizard. That giant was Andal I. "

"At that time, the ancient wizard's blood splashed on him... causing a curse. Not long after, he went crazy and died."

After listening to the woman's words, Luof suddenly remembered the tragic scene he saw in the Winter Palace of Giant City last summer:

A pile of giant bones lay on the dead floor, looking as if they had been dead for thousands of years.

Corvinus Gaunt analyzed that these giants were killed by the last king Andal VI.

He tricked these giants into the Winter Palace, locked the door, and let them kill each other. In the end, Andal VI also died here.

At that time, Corvinus Gaunt mentioned that this was the blood curse of the ancient wizard, which caused the giants to be cruel and cannibalistic.

After hearing what the librarian said, Luo Fe already believed it. He thought about it and continued to ask:

"Who is the human who stole the crown? Is there any record in the book?"

"No." The woman in the black mist shook her head and said, "No one knows who he is, he just seems to appear out of thin air."

"Anyway, the diadem was missing ever since, until Rowena Ravenclaw appeared in the Tower of Babel a thousand years ago."

"She put on the crown and began to read the books left by the ancient wizards." The woman said in a hoarse voice:

"She can read as fast as you, so my great-great-grandmother determined that it was the crown that disappeared thousands of years ago."

"You know so much." Luofu stared at the black mist and asked, "Who are you?"

"I told you...I'm the librarian." The woman smiled.

"Librarian, do you need to hide your head and tail like this?" Luofu sneered.

"I'm too ugly." The woman smiled even more happily. "Afraid of scaring His Majesty the King."

"Since you call me His Majesty the King." Luofu raised the corner of his mouth, "I order you... to reveal your true face."

The woman said respectfully in an old voice: "Of course...as you wish."

As the words fell, the black mist slowly dissipated.

Luofu looked at the witch in front of him and was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word.
