"Mother, I have taken care of everything." Helena sighed with emotion. She had always had a premonition that something special would happen when she and the crown appeared in front of the statue together.
Now, the magic left by my mother is taking effect.
She repaired the crown and removed the curse attached to it. Holding the crown, Tom felt a gentle warm breeze blowing over his body, and all the fatigue in his mind and body was swept away.
"Mother..." Helena also felt her mother's thoughts, but unfortunately now she is a ghost and can no longer experience this kind of warmth.
[Ravenclaw Crown (five-star): The crown left by Rowena Ravenclaw. Wearing it to study can get twice the result with half the effort, provided that you can withstand the knowledge infusion from Ravenclaw's biography]
"Knowledge infusion?" Tom was a little curious. Could it be that there is also knowledge collected by Ravenclaw throughout his life? That is really a priceless treasure!
"You'll know when you put it on." Helena showed an unknown smile.
Tom felt that there might be some fraud involved, but it was just a prank at best and would not cause him any harm, so he put on the Ravenclaw crown.
After putting it on, Tom felt like he was in a noisy auditorium, with countless voices in his ears:
"There are a total of ten types of pure-blooded fire dragons. They occasionally mate with each other to produce rare hybrids."
"The secret to the levitation spell is that subtle movement of the hands."
"A spell is a spell that adds specific attributes to an object or creature. To successfully cast a spell, you need to concentrate, wave the wand correctly, and recite the spell accurately."
…
In just a few seconds, the sound gradually became louder, as if he accidentally pressed the volume button after putting on headphones. Tom groaned, feeling a little upset, as if he had been watching the movie for a while on the bus.
It was the same as the mobile phone. Tom felt unusually tight in his chest, and he didn’t know what would happen if he continued listening to it.
He quickly took off the crown, but the dizziness still didn't go away. It wasn't until he walked to the window and let the cold wind blow that he felt better.
"The performance is not bad." Helena floated to Tom's side and looked at him with a hint of praise in her eyes.
"This is the characteristic of the crown. It will crazily pour knowledge into your mind. Your performance is one of the best among the people I have seen. Back then, my mother would occasionally lend the crown to her students, and they would faint immediately after wearing it.
There were people in the past too."
"Why does it have to be like this..." Tom didn't feel like vomiting so much anymore, so he turned around and complained to Helena.
"If you want to acquire knowledge, you have to pay a price." Helena said matter-of-factly. "My mother's class was so exciting back then - many students wanted to learn more advanced knowledge, so they had to pay some price in theory, even if these prices
It is not equivalent to knowledge. It seems that the rule that the professor’s signature is required in the restricted book section of the Hogwarts library originated from my mother’s teaching method.”
Tom:……
Well, I can only say that it is worthy of "Raven's Claw" and treats knowledge like treasure.
"I think it's time for you to go to class." Helena changed the topic and pointed to the clock on the wall, reminding Tom that it was almost time for class. Tom hurriedly put away the crown and ran out the door.
Looking at Tom's back, Helena sighed and whispered inaudibly: "Is it a coincidence...or fate?"
This Defense Against the Dark Arts session was just like answering reporters' questions at a press conference. The curiosity of the little wizards about Tom's experience did not subside after one night, but intensified.
"Okay," Tom, who was helplessly pestered by the students, could only admit defeat and selectively told the young wizards in the audience his experience, but he certainly couldn't mention the Horcrux - otherwise Dumbledore would be afraid
He would come to his door and invite him to drink tea.
Because the concept of Horcruxes is too evil, the wizarding world is very secretive about it. Even books about black magic only mention it briefly. For example, the book "Poisonous Magic" contains a lot of advanced black magic content, but there is still no introduction to it.
An in-depth introduction to Horcruxes.
"About Horcrux, the most evil magical invention, there will be no discussion or guidance here" is the original words in the book. The author's attitude is also very obvious: Horcrux is too evil even for dark wizards.
.
The definition of black magic in the magic world has always been somewhat vague, but black magic generally refers to magic that can cause irreversible damage. Magic that targets the soul is basically included.
Among all black magic, Horcrux is the most evil. The reason is that it can split the soul. The wizard who made the Horcrux is destroyed. After the death of all Horcruxes, they will not be able to become ghosts or reincarnate, but will be trapped forever.
Suffering in a trance and illusion. This is almost impossible for a wizard to accept.
Wizards can become ghosts, but most wizards won't choose it. If everyone doesn't choose it, there must be a reason not to choose it. Just like enrolling in a major, everyone is advised to quit biochemical environmental materials. It's not without reason! You have to go against the trend.
If you want to go in the opposite direction, there are some schools that offer biomaterials and environmental studies. It is recommended that people with this idea go to school - just fill up the debuff.
After paying such a huge price to make a Horcrux, what did you get in return?
It is an existence that becomes "worse than the humblest wandering soul" after the death of the subject.
In other words, a Horcrux cannot make you "come back like lightning" like wearing a resurrection armor after death. It can only guarantee that you are "immortal." A complete resurrection requires a series of processes. Without Peter Pettigrew, Voldemort would
I have to be a rat in the Albanian forest for a long time.
The extremely heavy price and this form of "immortality" discouraged dark wizards, calling Horcruxes the most evil magical invention.
Because wizards are very secretive about Horcruxes, only a handful of people in the wizarding world know about Horcruxes, and others only know the name. At the request of Dumbledore, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry banned Horcrux-related topics.
All research was carried out and all information detailing Horcruxes was removed. The "Advanced Dark Arts Revealed", which detailed how to make Horcruxes, was personally kept by Dumbledore.
For young wizards with immature minds, it is best not to even know the term. The main reason is that the properties of Horcruxes are very tempting - this is immortality! How can young people understand the price of immortality? Once they know about Horcruxes,
It may breed curiosity and want to try it.
This is not good.
To be on the safe side, Tom didn't even dare to mention the term "horcrux" to the young wizards. He replaced the concept of "horcrux" with "evil spirit".
