Chapter 47 Wild history may not be true, but it is definitely wild!
After hearing what Rove said, Shirley, who was sitting behind him, raised her head and looked at the statue carefully.
She and Rolf once went to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets deep underground in Hogwarts, and saw the statue of Salazar Slytherin, which was indeed very similar to the one in front of her...
However, she quickly discovered the subtle difference:
The Slytherin statue in front of him has a book in his hand. It is carved from stone, but the cover looks more like pale tree bark, with thin branches carefully carved on it.
Shirley squinted her beautiful eyes and carefully observed the subtle lines on the cover. She always felt that it looked familiar... She must have seen it somewhere!
The girl with the ponytail thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. She leaned forward, pressed against Luo Fu's back, and whispered in his ear:
"Rolf, look at that book... does it look like the book we saw at the manor in Devonshire..."
Shirley was worried that others would hear her, so she kept her words secretive. However, when Luofu heard the words and looked around, he instantly understood what she wanted to say.
The book held in the hands of the Slytherin statue is indeed very similar to the "Book of Abraham" by Nico Flamel.
Luofu quietly moved his broomstick and moved closer to the statue, hoping to see it more clearly. When he reached the sky above the statue, a flash of uncontrollable astonishment flashed in his eyes.
On the open page, there was a picture that was somewhat blurred due to the erosion of time:
A large tree with lush branches radiates light outwards, but there is a dark green snake entangled in the roots of the tree.
Rolf is so familiar with this painting!
In Nico Flamel's "Book of Abraham", there are four paintings that form a prophecy about Rolf.
And the first painting among them is exactly the same as the content in the stone book in front of you!
In other words, the book held in the hands of the Slytherin statue is definitely Nico's alchemy book.
According to Nico, he dreamed of a wizard who called himself Abraham, who told him in his dream:
He will receive an alchemical book. As long as he studies hard and understands it thoroughly, he can gain infinite wealth and life...
Not long after, a wizard named Peverell came to Nico to pawn a magic book, which he named "The Book of Abraham."
Rolf never expected that that book would also appear in the hands of Salazar Slytherin... How did he get it, and how did it come into Nico's hands?
Who is the man named Abraham who had the dream?
Luofu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he looked at Livias and asked: "What are these statues... used for?"
"They are the kings of all ages," Livias answered.
"King?" Rolf was extremely surprised, "Slytherin was also the king of Avalon?"
"That's right." Livias didn't hide anything, but said without hesitation:
"According to records, Slytherin came to Avalon about a thousand years ago. He replaced the old king Cletus Peverell and became the new king."
Nailishi asked: "What happened next?"
"Later, two wizards came to Avalon. They broke into the kingdom palace and had a big battle with Slytherin." Livias described:
"The battle lasted for ten days and ten nights, causing several mountain peaks to collapse, causing a tsunami that flooded the forest, and turned an island into an island of ice and fire, half of which was ice and snow, and half of which was the flames of rolling magma..."
"After that battle, Slytherin's whereabouts were unknown, and the two wizards were also missing."
"Two wizards?" Luofu frowned,
Could it be Gryffindor and Hufflepuff?
After Ravenclaw's death, Gryffindor left Hogwarts to seek revenge on Slytherin.
If Gryffindor knew that Slytherin was king of Avalon, he would indeed seek revenge.
In fact, apart from the two of them, Luo Fu couldn't think of anyone else whose battle could cause such a big stir.
"Your Majesty the King, if you want to know more details, you can check out "The War of the Three Wizards"." Livias said softly:
"That book was recorded by Ethan Glover, Slytherin's Prime Minister at the time. It is on the second floor of the Tower of Babel."
Luofu nodded, flicked the broomstick again, and went to check other statues to see if there were any familiar ones.
When we came to the first statue, it was a middle-aged man. He was tall and burly, wearing a golden armor, with golden shoulder-length hair, and a pair of emerald blue eyes.
The man was gleaming with gold from head to toe, and standing in front of him was a huge stone sword that was taller than himself.
"This is His Majesty Arthur Pendragon, the first king of the entire kingdom." Livias introduced.
After hearing Livias' words, not only Luo Fu and Shirley, but also Nellie, an American, couldn't help but look at the statue a few more times.
The name Arthur Pendragon is not familiar to many people, but he also has a more well-known name:
King Arthur!
This King of Britain, who is famous in both the wizarding and Muggle worlds, once pulled out the Sword in the Stone, and with the help of the famous wizard Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table, he unified Britain and repelled the Saxon invasion.
Sir Cadogan, the portrait in Hogwarts, used to be King Arthur's Knight of the Round Table. He usually likes to brag about the days when he fought alongside King Arthur.
However, in the subsequent Battle of the Bastards, King Arthur was stabbed in the head by his bastard son Mordred, and then died.
Of course, in some unofficial histories, King Arthur was not killed by his illegitimate son, but he contracted an illness and died because he went to a bank party with Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table.
This statement was adopted in the book "The Romance of Merlin and King Arthur" that Rolf brought to Cassandra.
I can only say that wild history may not be true, but it must be wild!
However, Rove saw the Arthur statue here, which can be regarded as side proof of another rumor:
The dead King Arthur was taken by his half-sister Morgan le Fay on a boat to the mysterious Paradise of Paradise in the other world, Avalon, guarded by the three powerful mermaid sisters, where he completed his resurrection.
.
When Rove asked Livias about this matter, he nodded and said:
"Indeed, Morgan le Fay brought the seriously injured King Arthur to Avalon and rescued him."
"Later, King Arthur and Morgan built a castle here together, conquered the other cities in Avalon, and established a kingdom that has been passed down to this day..."
The three of them listened intently to Livias's description. After all, these were secrets that did not exist in the history of magic.
After Livias finished the introduction, Rove almost looked at all the statues.
Apart from Slytherin, he did see an acquaintance, the former King Kurga.
Next to the statue of Kurga, Rove found another statue that shocked and surprised him:
