The silverfish left the box and entered the Tower of Babel. It became visibly happy. Not only did it scream with joy, it even shook its nine tails!
Luo Fu has been raising this silverfish for almost four years. It is usually very cold and has few mood swings.
Even last year, when Rolf brought this silverfish back to the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets after a thousand years of absence, he never saw it so excited.
The young man looked at the silverfish and asked tentatively:
"Freya, Professor Ravenclaw has brought you to this Tower of Babel before?"
This silverfish, which had followed Ravenclaw, usually ignored Rove, but when faced with his question, he nodded without hesitation, but then... shook his head.
At this time, Luofu was really confused and confused, but Shirley, who was more thoughtful than him, after thinking for a moment, his eyes quickly lit up and he said:
"Freya, do you want to say... it was not Professor Ravenclaw who brought you to the Tower of Babel, but you brought her here?"
When the silverfish saw the girl with the ponytail, he easily understood what it meant, showed a hint of appreciation, and nodded gently.
Seeing this, Luo Fu suddenly remembered another thing.
Silverfish are extremely rare magical creatures that survive in a similar way to salamanders.
Salamanders can only live in flames, while silverfish can only live in books. They feed on the magic in words and can swallow them.
In other words, only places with rich collections of books are likely to breed silverfish.
After Rolf caught this silverfish in the Hogwarts library, he always thought that it was born in the library.
But now it seems that is not the case.
You know, Ravenclaw was not too old when he went to Avalon, and he had not yet established Hogwarts with the other three giants.
Silverfish already existed at that time, so of course it couldn't have been born in the Hogwarts library.
Silverfish brought Ravenclaw to the Tower of Babel, and at this moment, he showed unusual excitement about this place...
With this thought in his mind, Luo Fu and Shirley looked at each other tactfully, and both saw the same thought in the other's eyes.
"Freya, you...were you born in this Tower of Babel, right?"
Silverfish's eyes widened, a little shocked that Luo Fu could even think of this.
It was indeed conceived in the books hidden in the Tower of Babel.
At that time, it was the only creature in the entire tower. It felt extremely bored, so it quietly left the Tower of Babel, and then met a girl who strayed into Avalon in the wild...
Rowena Ravenclaw.
Silverfish took her to this tower and wanted her to play with him.
Rowena lived here for a long time and read many books. When she was about to leave, she asked her... if she wanted to go see the outside world with her.
Without any hesitation, Silverfish left the place where it was born and headed to her hometown with Rowena.
Thinking of this, the silverfish suddenly jumped up, flicked its tail quickly, and swam away.
Seeing this, Luo Fei and Shirley quickly followed, and Nellie, who had been listening, followed closely behind. She couldn't help but ask:
"Is that a silverfish?"
"Yes." Rolf nodded.
It was not surprising that he knew Nelisi from a silverfish, because there was also a silverfish in the library of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Nailishi also quickly mentioned the silverfish, and then said:
"But the silverfish in our school library only has three tails, which is completely incomparable to your silverfish..."
Silverfish have an extremely long lifespan and will grow a tail every hundred years.
Therefore, the silverfish in Ilvermorny is only about 300 years old, which is indeed not the same level as the old ones who are over 900 years old.
All we can say is that this is the difference in school background!
Nelisi paused and asked again: "When you mentioned Ravenclaw just now, did you mean Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the Big Four?"
"That's right." Rolf replied: "This silverfish was raised by Professor Ravenclaw back then and it has been living until now."
"Ravenclaw." Nelisi was more and more shocked. She had an inexplicable feeling of being intertwined with history.
The three of them followed Silverfish along a wide spiral staircase to the second floor, where they saw a row of bookshelves.
The endless rows of bookshelves look like some kind of mirror, creating an "infinity" visual image.
The bookshelves were filled with a large number of scrolls, parchments, and leather classics. Some of them were even placed on the ground, and the piles were piled four feet high on the floor.
The silverfish jumped up, like a seal diving into the water, and landed on a tall bookshelf with a graceful flick of its tail.
The three of them walked over, thinking that the silverfish was looking for some books, but when they got closer, they realized that it was staring at the wall behind the bookshelf.
I saw a line of small characters carved on the thick wall, which read:
Rowena Ravenclaw is here!
Under the line of words, there is also a picture of a silverfish, but it only has one tail.
Silverfish looked at the words Rowena had carved, and seemed to see that bright and intelligent girl again.
However, that was a thousand years ago.
Silverfish's original joy of revisiting his old place suddenly turned into a sad reminiscence and nostalgia.
Rolf also spent some time with Ravenclaw, but at the moment he was not as obsessed with things as Silverfish, and he focused more on the wall.
He discovered that there was a deep depression on the small words left by Ravenclaw, as if someone had used a dagger to shovel away a large piece of the wall.
Obviously, there should be writing on it!
Rolf expressed his thoughts. He looked at the silverfish and asked what it had written.
The silverfish recalled for a moment, then began to wave its tail and make gestures.
Luo Fu and Shirley listened for a long time and finally understood what it was saying.
To put it simply, it was the content carved by another boy, but it could no longer remember what it was that was carved.
The silverfish was still full of resentment towards the boy, because it was almost captured by that guy, but luckily Ravenclaw saved it from him, so that it was not poisoned.
Luofu narrowed his eyes and thought: Who dares to snatch silverfish from Ravenclaw, one of the Big Four? Who is this young man? He is so courageous... He is really desperate!
But it's a pity that a thousand years have passed, and Silverfish can't remember the appearance of that boy at all.
The silverfish looked at the words on the wall and thought about them for a while. Then it remembered something and quickly got into a heavy volume of books with leather covers and copper and iron buckles nearby.
Luofu immediately took down the book from the bookshelf, opened it, and waited until he could see the contents of the book clearly...
