"Ding~"
A sudden beep sounded, the light screen appeared, and a new milestone was unlocked.
[Castle Exploration (can be completed repeatedly)]
Requirements: Hide
Reward: [Wind Step] [Reward completion: 20%] [Currently accumulated: 20/100%]
Glenn glanced at it and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
This milestone comes too suddenly. Shouldn't it be activated when you first arrive at Hogwarts?
He rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
A milestone suddenly appeared at this time. Is it possible that it was because I was very close to finding the first secret place in the castle?
If this is the case, the clue about the fireplace may really be related to time.
He recalled the scene that morning again.
Although I can’t remember exactly exactly, it was most likely around seven o’clock.
There are about 5 hours left until now.
He simply returned to the dormitory, took off his magic alarm clock, and set the time at six o'clock. Then he got dressed and lay down on the sofa in the lounge, intending to simply squint for a while so as not to miss the time.
Anyway, this isn’t the first time I’ve spent the night in the lounge.
The first-quarter moon, which had already reached its highest point, lowered step by step until it gradually disappeared from the skyline.
The quiet sky was gloomy for a while, and a faint light emerged from the horizon, brightening the sky bit by bit.
A few crisp birdsong came from the window, and the magic alarm clock next to the sofa began to vibrate.
Glenn opened his eyes, turned off the alarm clock, and sat up.
He glanced at the motionless fireplace, stood up, went to the window, and opened one of the windows.
The slightly damp and cool breath of the morning hit my face.
Glenn rubbed his sore eyes caused by lack of sleep and looked at the restored green mountains and woodland in the distance.
When the remaining sleepiness gradually dissipated, he returned to the armchair in front of the fireplace, staring at the clues that might appear at any time, with a look of anticipation on his face.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the eastern sun quietly peeks out.
A faint golden light flickered slightly, appearing in the center of the fireplace bottom brick without warning.
If the furnace had not been cleaned in advance, no one would have noticed this almost undetectable golden shimmer among the layers of ashes.
Glenn breathed a sigh of relief. His guess was indeed correct.
The private library left by Rowena Ravenclaw is different from Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. The core purpose is not to hide, but more like a test.
The entrance, hidden behind the statue, requires a certain level of magical prowess to find through the Revealing Spell.
The gaze directed towards the fireplace requires only a sufficiently delicate observation.
The final clue hidden in the fireplace should test the little wizard's patience or diligence.
If you don't stay up all night or get up early to study, how can you discover the secrets that only appear in the fireplace at this time?
Glenn rose from the armchair and moved to the fireside.
The faint golden light was not the words like the command to open the door as he had guessed, but a small ball of light about the size of a Go piece, spinning in place and sprinkling golden light.
He tentatively leaned down and stretched out his fingers towards the ball of light.
The small light ball seemed to be attracted, and it bounced up suddenly, collided with Glenn's fingertips, and disappeared instantly as if it was fused and absorbed.
Glenn looked at the empty fireplace, as if nothing had appeared, and was slightly stunned, showing a trace of doubt.
That's it?
Could this little ball of light be the access card to the library?
He lowered his head and glanced around himself, and found that there did not seem to be any strange changes such as golden light possession, nor could he feel any special magic fluctuations.
But now that we've come this far and come here, we can't go back to sleep without giving it a try, right?
In desperation, he had no choice but to get up and walk behind the statue with the feeling of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
He drew his wand and prepared to cast the Apparition Charm as before.
However, unexpectedly, this time, before he waved the wand, the light flickered, like an invisible brush drawing a golden halo behind the base.
As it rotates slowly, the golden light outlining the circle becomes more and more dazzling.
Scattered golden light spots flew around like sparks thrown by a circular chainsaw, slowly falling on the velvet carpet, but did not ignite a fire. They just lay quietly for a while and then disappeared.
Through the aperture, the back is no longer the white marble base of the statue, but a pitch black darkness.
It looks a lot like the teleportation aperture of the Karma Taj wizards in the Doctor Strange movie.
Glenn glanced with some emotion, but also hesitated.
The aperture confirmed that it was a teleportation array, but the darkness behind it made people hesitate.
Just as he was stunned, the ring suddenly expanded a bit automatically and flew towards him, swallowing him up like a big mouth.
This is a teleportation experience that has never been seen in the original books or movies, and it is completely different from the instantaneous transport in the Marvel movies.
Glenn felt as if he had turned into a feather, floating gently in the wind. The surrounding scenery was changing one after another, with strange and magnificent colors, and he could not tell where he was.
The transmission process is very short, like a blink of an eye.
Glenn stepped on solid ground again.
Rowena Ravenclaw, who is worthy of being the wisest among the founders of the academy, can actually cast such a unique teleportation magic, and can even ignore the prohibition of Apparition spell in Hogwarts.
And nearly a thousand years later, it still maintains good operation.
"Whoo~"
The surrounding candlesticks lit up at the same time, illuminating the entire room.
This is a circular room, not spacious, and the dome is not high.
A circle of curved bookshelves is attached to the wall. There are countless books of various types on it. They are placed in categories according to size and thickness. The books on each floor are almost the same height.
In every gap between the bookshelves, there is a bronze candlestick with swaying candlelight. The shape is exactly the same, and the distance between them is exactly the same.
Glenn only felt a sense of relief.
This room is simply a blessing for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
He looked at the surrounding furnishings and immediately called up the system map, intending to confirm the location of the library.
The next second, his mouth opened wide in surprise.
On the map, he was still in the Ravenclaw common room, but he had moved from an alcove near the wall to the center.
Is this place... an illusion?
He quickly recovered from the shock and rejected his idea.
If it was just a pure illusion, he should not have even changed his position, and should not appear in the middle of the lounge like he did now.
In other words, both the teleportation array and this library should be real.
Glenn adjusted the angle of the map again, and finally showed a look of surprise.
......
A sudden beep sounded, the light screen appeared, and a new milestone was unlocked.
