Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

Ryan then went to the Hufflepuff common room and told Cedric about Colin's disappearance. After what happened during the summer vacation, Cedric was naturally told by Ryan about Voldemort's general situation.

Then, Ryan went to the Ravenclaw common room.

But it was not until this moment that Ryan made an embarrassing discovery.

He had been in school for a year and had visited the common rooms of the remaining three colleges.

But the only place he had never been to was Ravenclaw Tower.

so that...

"The more I am shared, the more I have to own. What am I?"

Ryan was a little surprised when he saw the bronze eagle-shaped knocker in front of the Ravenclaw Tower door in front of him asking him a question.

"You actually have a soul?"

Ryan could be sure of this at this moment.

This undoubtedly surprised Ryan.

Because you have to know that giving intelligence to a magical creation and giving it a soul are two completely different things.

It is not difficult for wizards to bestow wisdom. Powerful wizards can do it easily - for example, the simplest and most common approximate creation, the magic painting, is one such example.

They store some of the magical powers that the wizard depicted had during his lifetime, and therefore possess a certain level of intelligence and wisdom. They can even act as if the painter had done so in his lifetime, and retain a considerable amount of wisdom and memory.

However, they definitely do not possess souls - the two are completely different concepts.

Creating the soul is an unknowable realm.

Even before Ryan left a thousand years ago, even Ravenclaw, who had the deepest attainments in soul magic, had not been able to accomplish such a feat - she had created some soul fragments, but had not yet fully mastered the key to soul refining.

"It has soul, magic, and wisdom."

The door knocker's answer was mysterious: "Life always shares the same attributes."

"Are you the treasure left behind by Ravenclaw?"

So Ryan asked directly.

"Oh, every year there are little wizards asking me this, but the truth is—of course I'm not one."

"I'm just a knocker, part of the castle."

"But if we talk about the wisdom of Ravenclaw that led to my birth, that might also be part of the treasure—wisdom is the supreme treasure."

The door knocker responded like this.

Then, it no longer paid attention to Ryan's questions and continued, "Then you have to answer my question - Mr. Elias, I have heard of you, and you can definitely answer it."

"...Sorry, please ask again."

Ryan, on the other hand, glanced at the door knocker.

But he also knew that now was not the time to worry too much about the door knocker.

"The more I am shared, the more I have to own. What am I?"

So the door knocker asked the question again.

"Knowledge."

Ryan answered without any hesitation.

"correct answer."

So, the door knocker said with relief.

The next moment, the door to Ravenclaw Tower opened.

Ryan walked up the spiral staircase and soon arrived at the Ravenclaw common room.

He saw the scene in the Eagle Courtyard lounge.

The arc-shaped dome ceiling was enchanted, presenting a flowing night sky. The constellations changed with real time, and silver light fell on the pages and the floor.

Ryan saw the statue in the lounge at a glance.

The beautiful, crowned, wise witch.

"Ravenclaw teacher."

Ryan whispered a greeting in his heart.

Warmth and longing began to spread in his heart.

Then...

"Is it Elias!?"

"Why is he here?"

"Why is he here? Technically, he's also a Ravenclaw student!"

"But he's never been here, has he?"

"No?"

Ryan heard the discussion among the young Ravenclaw wizards.

The academic discussion among the young eagles made him feel quite embarrassed.

But then...

"Ryan?"

The light, spiritual voice attracted Ryan's attention.

Ryan turned his head and saw Luna leaping towards him happily.

She was wearing a unique gauze dress with shells and sequins hanging on it, so the crisp sounds she made when she walked today came from the clothes.

"The little nose elf said I would have a good nose omen today, and it seems to be true."

she said happily.

Ryan didn't know what kind of magical creature the little-nosed elf was in her imagination, but at least he felt that Luna had helped him out at this moment.

"Luna, I came to see you... uh, or to see Qiu..."

He said hesitantly.

He came here mainly to remind his more trusted friends among the Eagles about Colin, and hoped that they would pay attention to the problems in their own college.

This matter could have been told to Luna, but Ryan thought about it - Luna's behavior pattern was really hard to guess, so it would be best to tell Qiu, who was relatively reliable.

"Autumn?"

"She's in the library at the top of the tower, with Lady Grey."

When Ryan said this, a little witch beside him said something.

"If you want to find her, you can go up now."

Chapter 179 Long time no see, Helena

Ravenclaw Tower has always been famous for its huge collection of books.

It is rumored that the total number of books in the tower is even greater than that of the school library.

The reason for this is the large number of libraries inside the tower.

These libraries would refresh their collections at dawn every day, and up to now no one dared to say that they had read all the books in the library.

Ryan had a rough idea that the principle behind this situation was probably similar to that of the Room of Requirement - of course, he still didn't know how it was done.

And according to Luna and several young Ravenclaw wizards beside her.

Ms. Grey, the ghost of Ravenclaw College, usually stays in these libraries.

She is also recognized by the young eagles as the person most likely to have read all the books in the tower - because this lady always knows a lot of knowledge that they have never known, and she seems to be able to find the most suitable books in the ever-changing library.

There were even some little eagles who thought that Mrs. Grey was obviously more suitable to be the castle's librarian than Mrs. Pince.

"Mrs. Pince is very good and loves reading, but she's sometimes too controlling, isn't she? I'm used to drinking a glass of honey caramel coconut water while reading. It helps me concentrate better and read more efficiently, but Mrs. Pince never allows it."

"Mrs. Grey is much better—she's hardly accustomed to anything, and she's knowledgeable and knows everything. Most importantly... she's extremely dignified and looks cold, which is enough to ensure that the library doesn't get into chaos."

The young eagles quoted from classics, but it was obvious that this argument was not widely accepted among the young wizards of other academies.

After all, it was well known that, except for the Ravenclaw eagles themselves, most of the students in the academy were not familiar with Lady Grey.

To be precise, most young wizards may not actually see the Grey Lady many times from the time they enter school to the time they graduate - the mystery of this Ravenclaw ghost is a fact known to everyone.

So much so that at this moment, even Ryan was actually quite looking forward to it.

He had heard rumors about the Grey Lady a long time ago - he was also very curious about this ghost who was said to be knowledgeable and had a mysterious origin.

but...

"Autumn?"

Before he climbed up the spiral staircase, he saw Qiu Zhang coming down from it.

"Ryan?"

Qiu was obviously surprised when he saw Ryan: "Why are you here?"

So Ryan certainly had no intention of hiding anything and directly told Qiu the purpose of his visit - especially about Colin.

As Qiu listened to what happened to Colin, his expression became serious and full of worry.

"I understand."

She nodded seriously and said, "I will carefully observe the situation in the academy, especially some dangerous people..."

"Ah."

Ryan nodded - he also believed in Qiu, the little witch was sharp and cautious enough.

So instead, he and Qiu started chatting about other things.

"Luna just said that you were discussing magic theory with Ms. Grey, so I planned to come up to you..."

He looked at Qiu in confusion: "But your discussion is apparently going faster than I expected?"
