Chapter 558 The magical crown

The next day was the Easter holidays and Kyle got up early and left the common room.

He first found Helena in the castle tower with the help of the fat monk, and then arrived at Hogsmeade Station before nine o'clock.

I don't know if it was because of the Triwizard Tournament, but not many people went home during this year's Easter holiday. Kyle was the only one in the entire prefect box.

But that’s fine, there’s no need to look elsewhere.

When the train closed the door and was about to start, Kyle took out the door key that Dumbledore had given him yesterday and whispered.

"Nicholas Flamel..."

The whistle that had just sounded in his ears suddenly stopped. When Kyle opened his eyes again, he had appeared at the door of a familiar manor. In front of him was the majestic manor gate and two lifelike fire dragon statues.

Kyle walked over curiously. He remembered that Nico said that these two statues were one of his most satisfying works in recent centuries.

However, Kyle didn't see anything magical about these two statues. They felt like the stone statues in the castle. The only difference was that the statues in front of him had many more complex magic symbols.

"Welcome, sir!"

There was a sharp sound in my ears.

The house elf Tata was standing there, bowing to Kyle.

"The master asked Tata to pick up sir."

"Excuse me, Tata," Kyle said.

Even though he was invited by Nico, it was more reassuring to have a house elf lead the way here.

"It would be Tata's pleasure," said the house elf.

Then he took Kyle into the manor, passed through the front yard and foyer, and walked down a long corridor, stopping at the door of a very inconspicuous room.

Tata took the initiative and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

Kyle also met Nicoléme. But not in person, but through a mirror.

Nico's figure was reflected in the mirror, a bit like those portraits in the principal's office.

"Nice to see you, Kyle." Nicole Flamel in the mirror turned around and said, "The refining of the Magic Stone has reached its most critical moment, and I can't leave.

Fortunately, I made this before. "

While talking, Nico suddenly emerged from the mirror, and his whole body crossed the table and came to Kyle.

"Another application of the pensieve," he explained. "What you're seeing is just a memory."

Of course, even if he didn't explain, Kyle could tell that the Nico in front of him was fake.

In addition to his body going through the table, the real Nico couldn't walk that fast.

While the two were talking, Tata had silently exited the room and closed the door.

"You've received the letter I wrote to you, right?" Nico said.

Kyle nodded.

"Then...come here."

Nico led Kyle forward and came to a shelf. On the middle grid of the shelf was a purple velvet cushion, and on the cushion was an exquisite crown.

Ravenclaw's diadem.

The previous rust has disappeared, revealing its original appearance.

The whole thing is silver, and it looks like a raven with its wings spread out. The middle part... which is the part of the raven's body, is a complete sapphire.

The restored crown looked ordinary, and Kyle couldn't feel the slightest bit of magic on it, just like a finely crafted decoration.

"The most perfect alchemy technique has almost no loss of magic power." Nico sighed: "It took me almost three hundred years to achieve this.

"I think you should have guessed who the lady I mentioned in the letter is."

"I thought of a name," Kyle said, "but I'm not sure... it's incredible."

"In fact, I am the same." Nico said, "I always thought that nothing could surprise me anymore, until a few days ago, I suddenly heard the sound of the crown... At that time, I almost fell off the chair Go down.

"But I think your performance should be better than mine...after all, you have already met her once."

"So, is it really Rowena Ravenclaw?" Kyle asked.

"Who else could it be but her?" Nico said with a smile. "There can't be Albus's voice in the crown."

"That's really scary." Kyle also laughed.

Dumbledore still didn't know that the diadem had been found, and neither Kyle nor Nico said a word about it.

After all, the crown is technically the property of the school. What if he insists on taking it back? On this point, the two of them have a surprisingly tacit understanding.

"Okay, Ms. Ravenclaw seems to want to talk to you alone, so I won't disturb you anymore... just put the crown on your head."

After that, Nico disappeared, with only two faint lights flashing on the mirror against the wall.

Kyle looked at the crown in front of him and carefully took it off the cushion.

The crown was not heavy, just like a normal book. Kyle took a long breath and put it on his head.

The world in front of me seemed to suddenly become brighter.

Kyle only felt that his mind was clearer than ever before, and some problems that had been bothering him for a long time were instantly solved.

He knew why his "Vulcan Clears the Way" was so much worse than the one performed by Dumbledore himself. He had always thought it was a problem with magic power, but it didn't seem to be the case.

He didn't need to use magic power to maintain the shape and stability of the flame. That would be too wasteful. He should have converted the magic power into the guiding magic text from the beginning.

In this way, he only needs to pull the magic spell, just like flying a kite. As long as the string is in his hand, the kite will not lose control.

That's it... No wonder Dumbledore reminded him several times before to look at that booklet more.

Kyle subconsciously turned his head and looked at the mirror on the wall.

In his eyes, the magic words carved on the frame suddenly came to life. They jumped and lined up in front of Kyle.

Like a Quidditch match.

Some glyphs form Chasers, some glyphs form Seekers, as well as Snitches, Quaffles, and Bludgers.

They each perform their own duties and together form a wonderful game.

And their role in the game is also clear at a glance.

"It's incredible..." Kyle muttered.

"That's because you already understand this knowledge."

A strange yet familiar cold female voice sounded in my ears.

"A crown cannot give people something they don't have themselves. Even if a person who doesn't understand magic writing wears a crown, he will never be able to understand the function of this mirror."

Then, the pulsating images in front of me disappeared.

Kyle suddenly felt a strong sense of loss in his heart. He didn't want this magical state to disappear, but to keep it forever.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a wind blowing over. It was a dewy wind in the morning, very cool, and the blowing on his body also briefly restored Kyle's consciousness.

"wrong!"

Kyle gasped for air, cold sweat falling down his forehead.

He finally understood what Nico meant by what he said before. This feeling of omniscience and omnipotence was indeed irresistible.

He only experienced it for a few seconds and became so addicted. If it took a long time, after taking off the crown, he would definitely go crazy because he could not bear the huge gap.

Thinking of this, Kyle subconsciously reached out and wanted to take the crown off his head.

But this thing seemed to be growing on his head and couldn't be pulled at all.
