Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 248 This is a treasure trove! One million Galleons!
Look around.

The bronze candlestick at the entrance ignited with a moon-white flame the moment he entered.

The palace dome was decorated with a star mural similar to the ceiling of the Great Hall at Hogwarts.

In the light of candlelight.

The celestial phenomena appeared in minute detail.

The trajectories of stars change as time goes by.

The twenty-eight constellations even form a pattern resembling an eagle, looking as if it is about to take flight in the Milky Way.

A giant hourglass woven with crystal chains floats in the center of the main hall.

The quicksand within it shimmered with an extremely mysterious silvery-purple luster.

Dylan took a few steps forward, his gaze fixed on the enormous hourglass ahead.

"What does this do?"

Dylan felt that every single grain of sand seemed unusual.

It's as if someone has sealed an extremely tiny spell between each grain of sand.

The spell made the sand different, and it clearly had a hidden purpose.

Dylan glanced to the side.

On a long table made of moonstone.

There were hundreds of shimmering parchment scrolls, neatly arranged in rows.

These parchment scrolls appear to be the knowledge scrolls left behind by Ravenclaw.

"Instead of storing it on a bookshelf, it's just placed on the table?"

Dylan picked up a roll at random.

Unfold the parchment scroll.

Dylan was somewhat surprised by what he found.

The ink marks on it were not words at all, but when he unfolded them, they rearranged and combined.

"Oh?"

Looking at the words on the parchment, Dylan raised his eyebrows.

Is knowledge a prison?

The title alone immediately piqued Dylan's interest.

This appears to be a Ravenclaw manuscript.

Moreover, it is a paradoxical manuscript.

The text details Ravenclaw's thoughts and reflections on whether wisdom can lead wizards to freedom or ultimately trap them in knowledge.

Even after thousands of years, the content remains interesting.

Dylan looked at it for so long that he didn't even want to put the parchment down.

After a moment, Dylan ultimately did not finish reading the manuscript.

There are many parchment scrolls here.

He can read whenever he wants.

The most important thing now is to pack all these things up and take them back.

"Looks like I'm going to have to start reading a lot again."

With a wave of his hand, Dylan put all the parchment scrolls in his hand, as well as those on the long table, into his system panel space.

He wasn't sure if he would be able to take the palace in the end.

If that's not possible, at least take everything with you.

Dig three feet into the ground.

They could even take down a single floor tile.

Dylan put away all the parchment scrolls.

Suddenly, he looked at the long table again.

At this point, the stacks of parchment scrolls were gone.

A magical artifact placed in the corner appeared before his eyes.

"An astronomical instrument?"

Dylan walked over, picked it up, and swung it around a couple of times.

This is a miniature astronomical instrument made of magical metal.

Even now, this thing is still working.

The trajectories of the planets above appear to be rotating according to the actual laws of the universe.

Perhaps to make it more realistic, tiny golden sparks occasionally burst forth from the astronomical instrument.

"Could this hourglass be something Ravenclaw uses for countdowns?"

After casually putting away the astronomical instrument, Dylan turned to look at the huge hourglass beside him.

This should also be a magical item.

Dylan sensed a very strong magical fluctuation above.

Clearly, like the astronomical instrument, this hourglass is still usable even though it has been stored for so long.

However, Dylan did not attempt to see if he could move the hourglass.

—Because it looks like it's welded to the ground.

Dylan planned to see if he could take the entire palace away first.

While you're at it, you can also take away some miscellaneous trinkets, like those parchment scrolls.

Dylan will leave such objects, which are almost integrated into the palace, here for the time being.

If all else fails, he can just dismantle and move all of these things away.

We bypassed the main hall.

Dylan walked straight ahead.

Push the door open and enter.

This appears to be a laboratory.

Moreover, it was a much larger laboratory that looked more formal and professional than his own.

It was nothing like the rudimentary structure he had casually built.

The workbench alone takes up almost half the room.

On the other side, dozens of glass containers are also on display.

Most of them still contain medicine, but it's unknown whether these medicines are still effective after being preserved to this day.

However, if the potion maker is skilled enough, they can actually make the potion taste like strong liquor.

The longer it is aged, the more mellow and fragrant it becomes.

Therefore, even if these medicines were available today, their effectiveness would only increase rather than decrease.

Furthermore, the creator of these potions is clearly Ravenclaw.

Therefore, Dylan felt that they should be like the magical artifacts outside, and most likely still usable.

This laboratory is very large.

Dylan estimated that this one laboratory alone might take up a third of the entire palace.

The main hall outside is another quarter.

The palace wasn't particularly grand, but it did seem to have some rooms.

Dylan estimated that there were probably some storage or living rooms upstairs.

However, the palace only had two floors.

Dylan curled his lip: "Is this all there is to Ravenclaw's treasure?"

Therefore, this experimental platform appears to have been manufactured at a high price.

The entire laboratory is of a very high standard.

But this is still far from the treasure Dylan imagined.

Sighed slightly.

Dylan left the lab.

They returned to the main hall.

Then I looked at the side door.

Walk over and push the door open.

Candlelight streamed in through the crack in the door.

The contents inside responded even more enthusiastically.

The golden light was so dazzling that it hurt Dylan's eyes.

But instead of squinting, he stared intently into the room.

The gold gallons were piled up like mountains.

—The coins looked like a waterfall of molten gold, spilling from the corner of the wall to the threshold.

Then, illuminated by the candlelight, it reflected a dazzling halo.

Even the air seemed to be subtly tinged with a flowing amber color.

The room seemed to have been transformed by magic; not only were there gold coins flowing on the floor, but there was also a shower of floating diamonds beneath the crystal chandelier overhead.

The diamonds floated in strings.

It looks like jewels hanging down like a curtain.

“These diamonds…” Dylan looked over.

It was obvious at a glance.

They are not just simple diamonds.

Rather, it is a material with magical properties that can be used for magical experiments.

"Wonderful!"

Dylan's eyes lit up, then lit up again, then lit up once more.

This is what makes it a treasure trove for Ravenclaw!

Although Ravenclaw symbolizes wisdom, whether it's the parchment scrolls that record knowledge or the laboratory.

the most critical.

Without financial support.

Where can I study so many things?
Look at these gold coins that almost fill the entire room.

And then there was that shower of diamonds, like a cloud of mist, falling repeatedly.

Dylan smiled contentedly.

"This cloud seems to be a kind of magic spell, able to protect these diamond materials and even constantly nourish them."

That's a really brilliant idea.

Magical materials actually need to be stored properly.

Because of the long time that passes, the magic in the materials may gradually dissipate, leading to a decrease in their magical properties.

Using such materials for experiments will only make the research process much less efficient.

Whether used in any other aspect, it will have a significant impact.

After all, the materials are no longer pure.

It would be strange if it had no impact.

Dylan stepped into the room.

Immediately, a crisp collision sound followed.

Dylan looked towards the center of the room.

There seemed to have been something there, supported by gold coins.

—Because the gold coins there form an open hand.

It looks like a hand is holding something.

Dylan smacked his lips.

"Was that the thing that was originally being held up, Ravenclaw's crown?"

That’s not right either!

I've never heard of Ravenclaw hiding his tiara.

They're already relics of the deceased.

Later, it was even collected by someone.

Ravenclaw built a treasure palace specifically to house his crown?

Dylan, on the contrary, thought so.

This palace is less a treasure trove for Ravenclaw.

It's more accurate to say it was once an experimental site for Ravenclaw.

After all, wizards at a higher level usually have their own laboratories.

Wizards of Ravenclaw's caliber need no further explanation.

Therefore, Dylan felt that calling the palace a treasure trove was actually acceptable, after all, he was a minor wizard from later generations.

To have such a well-equipped laboratory, with plenty of gold coins and magical materials, is truly remarkable.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a treasure.

But it's still somewhat different from the real treasure, or rather, from the treasure Dylan imagined.

Dylan's imagined Ravenclaw treasure should be much more mysterious.

Instead of what it is now, where the treasure is actually a laboratory.

"Never mind, the most important thing in life is to be content."

Dylan gently raised his hand.

In the blink of an eye.

The stacked Galleons trembled slightly at first.

Followed by.

The entire Jinshan Mountain collapsed with a deafening roar!

Thousands of coins broke free from the constraints of gravity.

It floats in mid-air as a golden haze.

Countless gold coins collided with each other.

The crisp, tinkling sounds never ceased.

Finally, like a golden waterfall, it flowed upstream and converged into a rotating golden pillar of light in Dylan's palm.

At this moment, Dylan felt as if countless sounds were ringing in his mind.

—Ding! Ten thousand gold coins have been deposited into your wallet!
—Ding! Your wallet has received 50,000 gold coins!
—Ding! 100,000 gold coins have been deposited into your wallet!
—Ding ding ding ding!

Until the last gold coin fell into Dylan's palm.

Dylan was finally satisfied.

Then I glanced at the system panel.

----------

Dylan looked at the money section.

His Galonnaise suddenly jumped from around 300,000 to over a million.

I was overjoyed!
So much small change?
He was too superficial before.

That is absolutely the most authentic and purest Ravenclaw treasure!
He'd get angry at anyone who said this wasn't a treasure trove!

Originally, based on a visual estimate, Dylan thought that the Galon here was worth at most a few hundred thousand.

Unexpectedly, it amounted to nearly a million!

This will make them rich!

His space can be expanded by a whole circle!

Or it could unlock several new world features!
Alternatively, he could unlock hundreds of special missions for his spell!
"I haven't been able to complete my spell traits much lately. Now that I have the money, I might consider giving out a few spells to unlock new spell trait quests."

The first reason I came here was because I had no money.

Secondly, it is about making existing spells even stronger.

Dylan would prefer to learn more types of spells first.

—Of course, the main reason is simply because I don't have money.

Even though his father was always thinking about making money for him.

But now it has almost reached a bottleneck.

Money can't just keep flowing into his pocket indefinitely.

Therefore, Dylan temporarily put aside his idea of ​​activating the spell's special properties for a while.

However, now that we have money...

Dylan's mind started to wander again.

—No wonder the old saying is so true.

Men with money tend to spend it!

Of course, Dylan's "spending" mainly refers to how he spends money.

Instead of someone else spending it.

Dylan walked around the entire palace twice.

There was nothing else.

The palace is basically divided into three parts.

The first part is the main hall where the parchment scrolls are stored.

The second part, naturally, is the laboratory.

The third part is a secret chamber where Galleons and various magical materials are stored.

As for the second floor, it consists of rooms used for accommodation.

There's not much to talk about here. Dylan went around in circles but didn't find anything of value.

Slippery and carefree.

Dylan eventually collected most of the scattered items in the palace.

Then he came out again.
