Chapter 27 What Happened Ten Years Ago?
If you want to get a glimpse of Ravenclaw's secret, Helena in front of you is the biggest obstacle.
Of course, she is also the best helper.
So, Levin decided to express his feelings directly: "Ms. Helena, please don't hide it from me. I already know the secrets in this statue."
Levin's speech made the female ghost panic: "How did you know... No, you are overthinking. This is just an ordinary statue, there is no secret."
Seeing that the other party would not shed tears without touching the coffin, Levin sighed, took out the magic spell, and pointed lightly at the statue.
"[Identification Technique]."
Unfortunately, because the level of magic hidden in the statue was too high and Levin's level was not high enough, the [Identification Technique] was not successful this time.
However, even the failed [Appraisal Technique] still exerted its most basic effect.
A faint blue magic aura emerged from the statue, proving that it was indeed a magic item.
"This is the detected magic reaction." Levin looked at her calmly.
Seeing that Levin had already produced evidence, Helena sighed and had no choice but to admit:
"Well, you're right, I can stay in this statue because of the magic."
"But I didn't lie. I can enter this statue precisely because I am her daughter..."
"Oh? Where did this start?" Levin's curiosity was aroused.
"Actually, this statue was not like this from the beginning."
Helena spoke in a very sad tone, "After my mother's death for thousands of years, this statue has been placed here to serve as a reminder of my longing for my mother."
"But since ten years ago, I seem to be able to vaguely hear the statue exchanging me. I tried asking the little wizard and even other ghosts, but I am the only one who can hear this call, and only I can Answer the call and enter the statue..."
"etc!"
Levin suddenly interrupted her statement.
"You just said that it started like this ten years ago?"
It was ten years ago again.
Levin noticed something was wrong,
It is said that the water ghost appeared ten years ago. Is there any connection between the two?
What exactly happened ten years ago?
Levin hid this doubt in his heart and asked Helena again: "How do you feel in the statue?"
"I... felt a strong longing." Helena closed her eyes gently, seeming to be reminiscing, "The emotion of longing was so strong that it made people feel like they were missing her, just like a mother missing her. Child. I think this feeling comes from my mother."
No wonder she stayed in there all day,
Levin suddenly realized,
Female ghosts also need love and warmth.
"Then do you know where this power comes from?" Levin asked.
"I don't know." Helena shook her head, her eyes blank, "It's like it appeared overnight. I'm just a ghost. With my ability... I have no clue."
"But, I want to figure it all out. There may be something hidden here that my mother left for me."
After hearing this, Levin made a decision,
He looked at Helena and gave her the gentlest smile.
At the same time, turn on the aura of [Charming Humanity] to the maximum.
"You seem to need help..." His tone was gentle and considerate, "And I am a Ravenclaw, and I am proud of my house."
“If a descendant of the college’s founder needs help with anything, I would be happy to help.”
"Maybe you are right. You are indeed an excellent Ravenclaw, a student selected according to my mother's standards - but there once was a young man who was very similar to you. He was just as good and as graceful. He was also He tried to persuade me the same way, but in the end, he lied to me."
Speaking of this, Helena's expression became angry, and the expression on her transparent face was a little distorted.
Of course Levin knew, he was talking about Voldemort during his student days.
By tricking Helena, Voldemort found Ravenclaw's diadem and made it into a Horcrux.
But Levin needs to pretend not to know: "So, what is his name? Which college is he a student from?"
There is a mystery behind his words, hinting at the differences between Helena herself and the other person.
As if awakened by Levin's words, Helena's expression softened.
The female ghost glanced at the boy's charming face and decided to continue: "I can't say that name, no one dares to say it, but I can tell you that there is his trophy in the trophy room."
Levin understands her fear and caution,
It was Voldemort after all, and the entire wizarding world was afraid to speak his name.
He had cast a spell on his name, and if anyone read it he would know it.
Even though he has disappeared for so long now, his residual poison still deeply affects the current magical world - even if it is a ghost.
But since Helena is willing to speak, it means that she is still willing to trust him.
So Levin continued to hint: "But, I am very honest with you. I didn't cheat on you, right?"
This is also Tom Riddle's flaw. He always likes to use intrigues and rely on violence and fraud to achieve his goals.
Levin prefers to rely on conspiracy and manipulate people's hearts through concealment rather than lies.
"You are right, but... no... you are different from him."
The expression on Helena's face changed several times, and finally softened, and her eyes when looking at Levin were no longer resistant, "Okay, you are right, I am willing to...believe you."
Levin can sense the other person's expectations, as well as the pitiful uneasiness and prayers like a small animal.
She hoped that Levin could really help her, and prayed that she would not be betrayed by her new friends again.
Levin nodded and responded to her uneasiness: "Don't worry, Helena, I won't be like that person."
"You are the student chosen by your mother, I believe in you."
Helena nodded,
"Then, let me tell you my guess:"
"I felt that it would take something important to inspire the secret of the statue."
"It was my mother's treasure. Generations of students have forced me to reveal its whereabouts. No one can resist its attraction..."
She said in an aria-like tone,
"It was my mother's crown, containing all her knowledge and wisdom, but that man cheated it from me."
"I see. I have a clue after hearing what you said."
Levin nodded. It turned out that if he wanted to discover the secret, he had to find Ravenclaw's crown.
He knew very well where Ravenclaw's crown was. He entered it there the second day after arriving at Hogwarts - the storage room in the Room of Requirement.
He can get it anytime he wants.
But the crown at this time was Voldemort's Horcrux, with all kinds of terrible black magic applied to it.
If it was just to destroy the Horcrux, Levin wouldn't be able to do it.
No matter how strong the defense of a Horcrux is, it is just a magic item. It can be destroyed by weapons with magic-breaking properties.
Although Levin has neither the fangs of the basilisk nor the sword of Gryffindor,
But he has the low-level God-killing spell [Micro Meteor].
Relying on the forced penetration damage of [Micro Meteor], even if it is an artifact, he can wear it down bit by bit.
However, for the crown to be useful in solving the mystery of the statue, it is likely that the crown would need to be kept intact.
This is a bit troublesome.
Levin currently does not have such means.
But it doesn't matter, he has understanding.
If we can have soul-related research as a reference, it is not impossible to understand how to deal with souls.
But if you want to find this kind of book in the library, you have to at least enter the restricted book area.
Thinking of this, Levin had a plan:
"The first step is to find a way to enter the forbidden book area!"
So, he looked at Helena: "Thank you for your suggestion. I have a clue now, but further research is needed. Please wait for me for a while."
"Of course, Mr. Green," Helena smiled when she learned that there was hope, "there is always enough time for ghosts."
After the two of them reached an agreement, it was time to go to bed.
Before leaving, Helena suddenly reminded: "I remember you were exploring the power of the mind. The human mind is the most fragile and uncontrollable place. rash exploration can easily cause irreparable consequences. I think you should wait for years." Try this a little longer."
"Thank you for the reminder." Levin accepted her kindness.
In fact, his exploration of psychic abilities is based on his own understanding and the profession of psychic.
Without a career framework, Levin would not dare to attack his own spirit casually.
Saying goodbye to this new friend, Levin returned to the dormitory and fell asleep.
