Chapter 116: A confrontation after a year
What Les saw was a pair of blank eyes. A thousand years ago, those bronze eyes were as sharp as an eagle, but now they have lost their former sharpness and look a little dull.
Ravenclaw felt as if he had fallen into a deep sleep and then suddenly woke up, his mind going blank for a short time. However, she recovered quickly, and within a minute her eyes were full of energy again.
She was reminded of who she was, where she was, and what her responsibilities were.
After thinking of all this, Ravenclaw's eyes couldn't help but fall on Les in front of him.
A small child? Why do children appear in the dungeon seal?
"This is very dangerous. It's not a place you should stay. Come up quickly." She subconsciously said to Les.
Les:?
Seeing his old friend regaining consciousness, Lesbon had thousands of words choked in his chest. However, Ravenclaw's first words when he came up ruined the atmosphere - Rowena thought of herself as a student in the castle. Already? It’s not eldest sister. You haven’t seen me when I was young, so it’s understandable that you can’t recognize me. But look at this quagmire field. This is my unique signature!
Les thought for a moment and paused his feet. Suddenly, the ground rippled like a stone thrown into a pond.
The changes on the ground caught Rowena's attention. She looked at the "rough" ground like the sea, with a flash of surprise on her face.
"You are Salazar——"
Les nodded with satisfaction.
"——'s descendant, right? Yes, this field has gained some true inheritance from him. Are you here to atone for his sins?"
Les:…
He felt that he could no longer control his blood pressure. Not to mention "getting a few points of true inheritance", what about atonement? Is it actually me who is guilty? !
He didn't intend to continue to lie about it - God knows what Ravenclaw would say if he continued to talk like this. He took a deep breath and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Roena, it's been a long time no see."
Ravenclaw was stunned for a moment.
This title...? She narrowed her eyes and took a closer look at the boy standing in front of her, and then she gradually raised her eyebrows.
"Is it you, Salazar?!"
Les nodded.
The next second, a huge wind blade sliced through his head.
Les:!
He sank directly into the quagmire, and then the place where he stood was covered by dozens of wind blades.
Les emerged from the edge of the quagmire and shouted to Ravenclaw: "Rowner, why are you crazy?"
"Do you still have the nerve to come back?!" Ravenclaw yelled through gritted teeth. Every time she shouted a word, she summoned a bunch of wind blades to hit Les.
However, with the blessing of the swamp realm, these spells cannot cause any harm to Les. Ravenclaw also understands this very well - these moves are useless against Les who sneaks into the mire, she is just venting.
In an instant, a storm seemed to blow up in the small space.
About five minutes later, the storm subsided, and Les emerged from the messed up swamp, looking at Ravenclaw helplessly.
"Have you calmed down yet?"
Ravenclaw had returned to her calm and elegant appearance. She did not answer his words, but showed a faint smile on her lips and said to Rice, "It's been so long, Salazar."
Les resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
What a crazy woman! He cursed in his heart, Rowena was getting more and more nervous after not seeing him for so many years.
"Can you tell me what time it is outside?" Ravenclaw's tone was quite relaxed, as if he was talking about the weather with an old friend.
"In the twentieth century, a full thousand years have passed since we founded Hogwarts." When Rice said this, he suddenly felt emotional: Time is really a wonderful thing.
"A thousand years." Ravenclaw closed his eyes, seeming to recollect this heavy number.
When she opened her eyes again, she looked at Les, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes: it seemed that her old friend had gone further on the road to eternal life than the three of her.
However, his approach seems to have some drawbacks, you can try to verify it yourself.
"It's not true. Do you have any evidence to prove that you are Salazar?" She could clearly confirm the identity of the person in front of her, but she still deliberately asked such a tricky question.
Lester suddenly frowned: How can I prove that I am who I am? Rowena, are you deliberately looking for trouble?
He stirred the mud beneath his feet.
Ravenclaw shook his head: "Fields are things that can be inherited, learned, and done countless times - not to mention that your field is quite different from what I remember."
"Hmm..." Les nodded and took out the fragment of the crystal ball from his arms.
Ravenclaw's eyelids twitched and he shook his head indifferently.
"This proves that you are not Salazar. Salazar will not break this thing."
Les felt his blood rising a little. He pulled out his wand and put the tip of the wand against his temple.
Rowena Ravenclaw, you forced me to do this! ! !
"You are right. I have a memory. Ms. Ravenclaw, would you like to take a look at it? A certain witch asked me for a powerful potion of sweet dreams, and then mixed it with the euphoria potion and drank it. This is how she behaved a quarter of an hour after taking the potion." As he spoke, a wisp of silver smoke wrapped around the tip of his wand, pulling Les out of his mind.
A bad premonition flashed through Ravenclaw's mind.
【Oh~~~I am——】
A woman's singing voice could be heard faintly in the silver smoke.
"Okay!" Ravenclaw interrupted Rice's spellcasting: "I believe you are Salazar."
A smile appeared at the corner of Les's mouth: Wouldn't it have been like this a long time ago?
Through the several conversations they had just had, Ravenclaw also got the information he wanted to know: the method of immortality used by his old friend seemed to have no flaws on the surface, but his inner character was changing subtly. If there is a change, it is most likely because the body has turned into a child.
After verifying each other's identities, the two fell into silence again. After a while, Les finally said, "I've really worked hard on you these past years."
Ravenclaw was silent.
My last days were really difficult.
At the last moment, she had fantasized about what she would do when she saw her old friends again, and now it seemed that at least her idea of beating up Salazar had come true.
After a long time, she spoke slowly and spoke in a very calm tone about what happened after Les left school.

Here’s an update, the second update is a little later, I still recommend reading it on the way to work in the morning~
It’s not that I intentionally broke the chapter, but because the protagonist and Ravenclaw met after thousands of years, I wanted to write it down. It was almost two o’clock in the morning when I finished the chapter yesterday. I was really in bad shape, so I had to get off work tonight to write it.
