Chapter 51 The Seed of the Whomping Willow

Standing next to the tall bookshelf, Luo Fu, Shirley and Nellie searched for the book titled "The War of the Three Wizards".

According to Levias, this book was written by Ethan Glover, who was an eyewitness at that time, and records the battle between Salazar Slytherin and two other mysterious wizards.

But when the three of them actually looked for the book, they found that it was more troublesome than they imagined.

There are too many books and it’s such a mess!

There are many books in the Hogwarts library, but they are not cluttered. All the books are divided into categories and neatly arranged on the bookshelves.

In addition, there is a book catalog - a bound encyclopedia that lists all the library's collections, allowing searchers to find the location of the desired book more quickly.

But the books in the Tower of Babel are different. They are all piled up in disorder, neither classified nor arranged alphabetically by the author's name.

Many of the books didn't even have covers, or were only fragments of parchment, and people were looking for them.

While searching in the vast sea of ​​books, Luo Fu used magic to block his voice, and then whispered to Shirley about the silverfish.

It just got into a book with a leather cover and a copper and iron buckle.

The content of the book itself is unremarkable. It only records the climate changes in Avalon during a certain period of time. But what is shocking is that on the title page of the book, there is...

A seed.

Standing next to the bookshelf, Luof held the seed between his fingers. Under the light, it shone like a gem and was dark green in color, making him feel as if he had never really seen this color.

The unusual nature of this seed also made Roff couldn't help but wonder about the plants that would grow after it was planted...

Probably like Grindelwald's elderberry and Ravenclaw's golden apple tree, they both have magical effects.

Shirley also realized this. She looked at the boy and asked:

"Rolph, what kind of plant seeds do you think...this could be?"

Luo Fu didn't recognize the seed, but he suddenly had an idea and blurted out:

"The Whomping Willow!"

Shirley was a little surprised by this answer, but she quickly followed the boy's thoughts and said softly:

"Do you think...this seed is related to the whomping willow in front of Gryffindor Castle?"

"That's right." Luofu nodded.

On Christmas six months ago, he took Shirley and Hermione to Godric's Hollow, where they entered Gryffindor Castle.

And at the door of that castle, there was a tall whomping willow. Not only did it have the face of Rolf on its trunk, it even obeyed his orders.

Although there was no evidence, an inexplicable intuition told Rove that this seed was the Whomping Willow seed.

At this moment, he even had a guess that he felt was... terrible:

That whomping willow grew from this seed!

If this is the case, the problem is huge.

And...who left the seed in the book?

Ravenclaw is the most likely, after all, the silverfish knows that the seed is in the book.

But when Rolf asked it, it seemed as if it had encountered Professor Lockhart's memory spell, and its memory was extremely vague.

If it was really Ravenclaw, what was her purpose of hiding the seeds of the Whomping Willow in the book?

Luo Fu was thinking a lot for a while. Shirley was beside him, walking side by side with him. Her ponytail undulated slightly in the breeze, exuding a faint fragrance.

Luofu took a breath of the fragrant air. He felt that he was distracted, so he immediately turned his thoughts back and said:

"I can't find that copy of "The War of the Three Wizards". It's just the three of us. I'm afraid we won't be able to find it even if we look for it all night."

Shirley hummed and said, "Let the prime minister come find you tomorrow."

Speaking of the prime minister, Rove reminded: "Shirley, you must be careful in front of Levias."

"Did you notice anything wrong with him?" Shirley asked.

Luofu nodded and said: "Do you still remember what I told you before about the last owners of the Elder Wand?"

"Remember." Shirley said softly: "You said... the Elder Wand appeared in the hands of Loxias in the 18th century.

Then, it was acquired by Octavius ​​Arkus, and then Grigovitch and Grindelwald..."

"That's right." Rolf said solemnly: "Mr. Grigovitch was once the owner of the Elder Wand, so we know the true order of inheritance of the Elder Wand."

"But for the saints, the whereabouts of the Elder Wand ended with Loxias."

"Later, many people claimed to have killed him and took away the Elder Wand, including his biological mother.

Of course, the biggest rumor is Octavius ​​Arkus and the dark wizard... Richelieu Livias."

Shirley was shocked. "That prime minister is also called Richelieu Livias. He also said..."

"I came to Avalon a hundred and fifty years ago, and my age is right."

"Yes." Luo Fe sighed: "If there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences, so you must be careful."

The ponytail girl nodded.

"That's it for tonight." Luo Fu stretched his waist and said, "Call Nelisi back and go back to the box to sleep with her. I'll keep watch tonight."

Shirley hummed obediently, turned around and walked towards Nellie, who was searching the bookshelf in the distance, and returned to the box with her.

Instead of resting, Luofu picked up a book from the bookshelf that he had read before.

The book was extremely large, two feet long and one and a half feet wide, with more than a thousand pages. The fine white kraft paper and bleached leather cover were bound together with golden hinges and silk threads.

Luofu chose to read this book because it contained many magic spells.

After an unknown amount of time, Luofu suddenly stood on his head with chills all over his body. The early warning brought by his spider sense made him suddenly turn his head, and he happened to see a wizard whose whole body was shrouded in black mist, appearing in the distance.

The wizard seemed surprised that she could be discovered in an instant. She let out a light sigh and quickly laughed.

There was a burst of goosebump-inducing laughter, and then an old woman's voice spoke in Rolf's ears:

"Hello, His Majesty the King."

Rolf clenched his wand and asked, "Who are you?"

"Don't be nervous." The old woman was hidden in the black mist and said in a hoarse voice:

"I am the librarian of the Tower of Babel, you can call me... Granny Gross."

Luo Fu didn't speak, but looked at her from the corner of his eye while continuing to read the book in his hand.

The old woman was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "You read books so fast."

Of course, Luofu can read books very quickly. He uses Silverfish's magic "Word Devourer", which can swallow the words and magic in books, and then convert them into memories and store them in the brain.

Of course, he was forced to write it down, but he still didn't understand the content.

"I remember when I was a child, I heard my great-great-grandmother say that she had seen wizards like you reading in this Tower of Babel before," the old woman said.

At this moment, Luofu finally became interested. He held the page of the book he was reading with one finger and asked:

"Did your great-great-grandmother tell you who the wizard was?"

"My great-great-grandmother said her name was..." The old woman paused and continued: "Rowner Ravenclaw."

Luofu subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

"However, Ravenclaw relied on a crown back then." The old woman smiled slightly and said:

"Have you... seen that crown?"
