Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 140: Ms. Grey's Repayment

Mike looked carefully at the Sword of Victory and Oath in his hand, which was still emitting a faint white light. He did not expect that this strongest silver sword could actually cause damage to the soul.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from my face.

"Dangdang!"

The Sword of Victory and Oath slipped from his hand. Mike squatted down with his hands covering his face, and let out an uncontrollable cry of pain.

Through the gaps between his fingers, Mike found that a cracked old dressing mirror beside him was reflecting his current appearance. The horrible claw marks on Mike's face were emitting a strange blue light. Gradually, the blue light gradually disappeared, and the claw marks also gradually faded until they finally disappeared.

At this time, Mike's underwear was already wet with cold sweat.

Leaning against a cabinet and breathing heavily, Mike felt an irrepressible joy in his heart.

The raven claw marks on my face have been removed. I finally don’t have to worry about waking up in bed one day and finding myself suddenly turned into a woman!

The excitement in his heart could not be calmed for a long time, but Mike had not forgotten what he had to do.

He stood up and put the Sword of Victory and Oath that had fallen on the ground into the Seamless Extension Spell bag. Then, after thinking for a while, he took out a new Seamless Extension Spell bag and collected all the crown fragments scattered on the ground.

I heard from Ms. Grey that this crown, which Ms. Ravenclaw used as the main soul container, was made of very precious magical materials, so these fragments should also be valuable.

After doing all this, Mike hummed a little tune and walked out of the Room of Requirement with light steps.

As soon as he opened the door of the Room of Requirement, he saw Ms. Grey waiting at the door with an anxious look on her face. Seeing Mike come out alive, she immediately said excitedly, "You did it!"

Seeing that Ms. Grey was so excited that she couldn't control herself, Mike suddenly became playful and said to her with a meaningful expression: "Helena (Ms. Grey's real name), you are really my good daughter!"

Ms. Grey's face changed drastically when she heard that. She turned around and floated into the wall and disappeared. Seeing this, Mike laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.

Ms. Grey, who had not walked far, also noticed something unusual when she heard Mike's laughter. You know, her mother was a person who paid great attention to etiquette, and even after she was successfully reborn, she should not have laughed so rudely.

Suppressing the deep fear in her heart, Ms. Grey carefully poked her head out from the wall.

However, Mike at the door of the Requirement Room's laughter had gradually stopped, and he was now leaning against the wall to recover his breath.

"You lied to me!" Ms. Grey yelled.

Mike saw that Ms. Grey looked angry and embarrassed, so his laughter, which had almost stopped, became louder again. Finally, he stopped when he saw that the expression on Ms. Grey's face was getting uglier and uglier, as if she was about to explode at any time.

"Don't be angry, I was just joking." Mike waved his hand and said, "I have destroyed the crown, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Of course I know that the crown has been destroyed by you. As the former owner of the crown, I have sensed it a long time ago." Ms. Grey's face was still very ugly. "I originally wanted to give you, the warrior, some rewards, but I didn't expect you... You dare to tease me like this!" Mike's expression changed slightly when he heard it, and then he put on a gentle smile and said to Mrs. Grey: "Don't be like this, we are friends. As a warrior of the 'Princess', I went through life and death several times and finally defeated the 'Devil' with great difficulty. I am very sincere, if you don't believe me, just look at it."

Mike raised his right hand to signal Ms. Grey to see his sincerity. The sword of victory and oath appeared in Mike's right hand at some point, and the tip of the sword was facing Ms. Grey. Obviously, this was what Mike called sincerity.

Ms. Grey, who was pointed at by Mike with the Sword of Victory and Oath, showed a look of horror on her face and unconsciously took two steps back.

"Oh? It seems that you not only recognize this sword, but also know that it can kill ghosts." Mike showed a strange look on his face. "Could that Geralt be your father?"

Ms. Grey became very excited when she heard this and quickly denied it: "He is not my father! He is just an ungrateful man! It is my mother..."

"I'm not interested in these trivial matters!" Ms. Grey was interrupted by Mike before she finished her words. "Let's get back to the topic at the beginning. I heard that you plan to pay me?"

Ms. Grey was stunned for a while after hearing this. She looked at the coldly shining Sword of Victory and Oath and said unhappily, "Where is your Greed Pendant? This is your reward."

Mike's face changed when he heard that. The Greed Pendant had shown its magic in front of him many times, and many times Mike would have died if it weren't for it.

Mike has always thought that this is the special function of the greed pendant, so he always carries it with him.

But the last time when he was fighting against the Ravenclaw soul, the Greed Pendant turned into a living raven in front of him, and was called a traitor by the Ravenclaw soul. This made Mike suspicious of the Greed Pendant, and he put it in the Traceless Extension Charm bag since returning to Hogwarts.

Taking out the Greed Pendant from the Traceless Extension Spell Bag, Mike said to Ms. Grey: "Do you know its secret?"

"This is the last living Nightmare Raven in the world. As long as you gain its recognition and sign a contract with it, you can command it." Ms. Grey said in a bewitching tone, "You should have experienced its abilities. Not only can it drag people into an unsolvable illusion, but it is also naturally able to restrain spirits."

"Then how do we sign a contract with it?" Mike, who had personally experienced the effects of the Nightmare Raven, asked hurriedly.

"do not know."

"You don't know!?" Mike yelled.

"Of course, this Nightmare Raven is actually my legacy. It was my mother's gift to me as an adult. But she didn't tell me how to sign the contract in order to test me, so it came to you." Ms. Grey laughed when she saw Mike's frustrated look. "Otherwise, how could it be your turn? You know, a Nightmare Raven can only have one owner in its lifetime."

Seeing Ms. Grey's gloating expression, Mike was furious. He put the Sword of Victory and Oath on Ms. Grey's neck and shouted, "Is this what you call reward?"

The Sword of Victory and Oath seemed to be able to sense Mike's anger at the moment. As soon as the sword touched Ms. Grey's illusory body, it emitted a faint white light and quickly began to dissolve Ms. Grey's soul.

Ms. Grey cried out in pain and flew back. Seeing that Mike was about to step forward, she hurriedly said, "Don't! As long as you can gain the sincere approval of Nightmare Raven, the contract between you will be automatically signed. This is what my mother told me!"

Seeing that Ms. Grey did not seem to be lying, Mike snorted coldly, put away the Sword of Victory and Oath, and walked straight out of the corridor on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, leaving Ms. Grey staring blankly at his receding back, her eyes filled with joy of surviving a disaster.
