Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

However, because the curse was too dangerous to stay in Hogwarts, Slytherin chose to guide Voldemort there.

But now, Ryan suddenly realized.

There is another possibility in this matter itself.

That is - the curse was not cast by Slytherin.

On the contrary, it already existed somewhere - Slytherin simply led Voldemort there!

so...

"Perhaps Helena and the apprentice also went to that place and became infected with the curse?"

Ravenclaw came to the Blood Queen in order to save his daughter.

According to the Blood Queen, she made a decisive choice to save her daughter.

Her choice is...

"She studied the apprentice's soul to try to break the curse. Besides that... she also took on the curse for Helena."

"In the end, research into the curse may have made progress, but in the end, it was clearly not broken—which is why Ravenclaw teachers died so young!"

even...

"The death of the Ravenclaw teacher may have triggered a chain reaction..."

Ryan recalled the fragmented truths he had discovered before.

And now, through this manuscript in his hands.

Part of those truths were connected together.

He had always known that the Big Four had been planning something after he left, and their purpose seemed to be to fight against the existence on the other side of the curtain.

Among the Big Four, the first to show abnormalities were Slytherin and Ravenclaw - the former left the school very early and disappeared, while the latter died at a very young age.

What happened to them may very well be the biggest trigger for a series of subsequent events!

And now, what happened to Ravenclaw... Ryan seemed to have found some clues.

And as far as Ryan knew, it was after Ravenclaw's funeral that Gryffindor chose to leave Hogwarts and go to the Goblin Kingdom to make some arrangements.

"That unknown, damned apprentice."

Ryan's inner whisper at this moment was almost through gritting his teeth.

Because there is no doubt that if what he guessed at this moment was true.

This means, then, that the apprentice had done more than just harm Helena.

He may even have indirectly caused the death of Ravenclaw.

In addition, he may have caused the Big Four's layout to be launched ahead of time, and they may not have been prepared enough.

The mistake he made... might have directly changed everything!

As soon as he thought of this, Ryan's magic power rose, violent and dangerous.

"Little Ryan? What's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Olivia obviously also sensed Ryan's violent and powerful magic.

After hearing her question, Ryan suddenly came back to his senses.

"No, it's nothing...Dean Olivia."

He struggled to suppress his emotions and calm himself down - it was difficult, but he tried to do it.

"...Do you recognize what's written on it?"

But Dean Olivia is obviously not stupid either.

She asked in a somewhat doubtful manner.

"Oh, not all of them—I once saw a similar interpretation in an ancient book, but I'm not sure... Well, I mean, can I take this information back and study it?"

He said so.

Upon hearing this, Dean Olivia looked at him suspiciously.

Of course, she could tell that Ryan was being vague and seemed to be hiding something.

but...

"can."

But she didn't hesitate.

Maybe Ryan had something to hide, but there was obviously no need for her to ask.

Moreover, she thought she knew Ryan well enough - no matter what he hid, she could trust him after all.

but...

"If you find out my grandmother's whereabouts from this information, please tell me."

she said seriously.

That's right.

Ever since the Blood Queen disappeared, the vampires have naturally been trying to find her.

As the other party's granddaughter, she naturally cares about this.

"of course."

Ryan nodded.

Of course, he would not refuse Dean Olivia's request - in fact, he was also eager to find the Blood Queen.

He was now certain that he would be able to get the truth from the other party.

Even if the other party is like Nicolas Flamel and Dumbledore and cannot tell him the whole truth, he can at least tell him the identity of the apprentice!

"I'll find her, Dean Olivia."

"I will find her."

Chapter 167: Drustvar! Lockhart is a legendary wizard! ?

Ryan didn't understand.

Everyone knows that the second year is the easiest year for young wizards in the entire Hogwarts.

This year, a flying course was added to the curriculum, and the young wizards also had a year to familiarize themselves with the school.

Hogwarts' elective courses and difficult courses usually start in the third year.

So the second-grade wizards should have been happy and had endless time.

but why...

“Why don’t I have enough time?”

Looking at his almost full schedule, Ryan felt lost.

That's right.

In addition to attending classes, Ryan has a lot more things to do recently.

The most important of these is naturally the research data on the Blood Queen 'Hecate Alanthel' obtained from Dean Olivia.

He has been watching and interpreting this information almost day and night recently.

And in the information, there is indeed a lot of knowledge about blood magic and soul magic, which has benefited Ryan a lot.

In particular, there is a key theory jointly proposed by Ravenclaw and Hecate.

In their research materials, they called this theory the 'Four Elements Theory of Life'.

They believe that - the strength of the soul, the circulation of blood, the vitality of the body, and the stability of the will.

These things collectively constitute 'life', and they are the four key elements of life.

Whether magical creatures or ordinary creatures, they all exist in accordance with these four elements.

At the same time, for the magical creatures.

These four elements can affect the operation of their magic power, or in other words...the operation of magic power depends on the existence of these four elements.

Needless to say, the soul - the current mainstream view in the magical world is that the wizard's magic power comes from the soul.

Needless to say, blood - Ryan had already confirmed the existence of the so-called soul circuit through Professor McGonagall and Newt.

Physical vitality is also a given - most wizards will become weaker and less energetic as they age.

It was only the last item, the firmness of will, that struck Ryan as quite novel.

According to the tests conducted by Ravenclaw and Hecate, when they were conducting experiments on the subject...that is, the apprentice whose identity is unknown, they found that the other party's will to survive was extremely weak.

At that time, his magic power had decayed to the extreme, and he could hardly resist the curse on his body - this directly led to the curse spreading extremely quickly.

But as they infused him with positive emotions and stabilized his mental state, his magic power recovered slightly.

In the end, they even used a special blood to limit the curse on him to a subtle state - according to Hecate's records, that blood was created by her through blood magic, combined with the "Guardian Blessing", "Patronus Charm" and "Bird of Paradise Feathers".

As mentioned earlier, the call of the bird of paradise can make people feel happy. This magical animal is the origin of happiness.

After the other person's body is affected by that special blood, the other person's soul is also affected.

His will and emotions regained their composure and became deeply obsessed.

"He was consumed by guilt and a desire to make amends for past mistakes – that was pretty much his only thought."

"But it was precisely because of this unwavering will that the curse couldn't continue to erode him. They achieved a delicate balance."

Ryan was obviously very surprised by this research report.

Because what this report showed was in perfect agreement with some of the peculiarities he had discovered so far.

From the cases of Dementors and Obscurus, he also speculated that emotions might have an impact on the soul.

And now it seems that Ravenclaw had obviously discovered this a thousand years ago.

And the definition she and the Blood Queen jointly made was obviously more accurate - emotions affect will, and will affects the soul.
