Chapter 128 128. An offer that cannot be refused
"The incident you participated in, the diary that bewitched Ginny Weasley."
Ms. Grey said in a somewhat complicated tone.
"That diary contains part of that person's soul."
"So Professor Dumbledore destroyed the diary?" Scott said in surprise, "Does this just meet the conditions for sacrifice?"
"You can say that." Ms. Grey nodded.
Scott expressed his doubts, "This is not right, because Milton heard the sound of the organ before the diary was obtained by Professor Dumbledore."
"Medea should not have really woken up at that time."
In response, Ms. Grey said somewhat unhappily: "It was Peeves!"
"He broke into the music room and was captured by the arrangement that Medea left there on purpose. He awakened a small part of Medea's power." She explained.
Such a coincidence?
Scott felt a little headache.
Why didn't such troubles happen in the "original book"?
"Medea should have been sleeping at that time, but after the arrangement left behind was touched by Peeves, it is not surprising that the music appeared."
Ms. Grey's face was not very good.
"Originally, there was only part of that person's soul in the diary, which was not enough to support Medea's complete awakening. Even if she woke up, she would not have enough power to control the oath."
She frowned.
"Who would have thought that Peeves contributed part of the power to this."
Scott asked: "Why Peeves..."
"Why can Peeves' power be used by her?"
Ravenclaw in the painting took over the topic.
"The oath relies on the magic of the castle to operate. Peeves is a troublemaker born in this castle, and is also part of the manifestation of the castle's magical power."
She said with certainty: "I guess Medea sneaked into the music room and rearranged some things after we all died."
Is this the "untalented" Medea you mentioned?
Scott wanted to complain about this.
I think she played very well!
At least he didn't understand how Medea did those things.
She also has magical music magic!
"Let's continue with the second condition of the oath. I once thought that the first condition would never be triggered."
Ravenclaw said.
"The second condition is - if the first condition of the oath is met, Medea will fully awaken with a small probability, and she can rely on the power of the castle to run the most core oath and use it to trade everything with others fairly."
"As for the third condition, it is the condition for lifting the oath-"
Ms. Gray added.
"There are two ways to lift the oath. Medea takes the initiative to lift it, or a Hogwarts student challenges her and can force her to lift it after winning."
"Challenge?" Scott raised his eyebrows.
Ms. Gray nodded, "Yes, Medea must accept the challenge, but the content of the challenge is determined by her."
"Scott, are you willing to challenge her? She can't give the challenger an impossible task." Ravenclaw asked.
"I have two more questions."
Scott held up two fingers.
Ravenclaw looked at him, and said, "You ask."
"First question." Scott put down a finger, "What exactly is Medea now? Her body is not like a living thing, but she is not a ghost."
Ravenclaw replied, "She uses magic to store her soul in a doll that is exactly the same as her own youth. She is different from a ghost, but she is not really alive either."
"Doll?"
Scott opened his eyes wide in shock.
He should have thought of it earlier!
Medea's image... Now that I think about it, her cold white and delicate skin is simply porcelain.
That's a real porcelain doll.
However, as long as he thought of Medea's aging soul, Scott felt that he could no longer look directly at her flawless and beautiful appearance.
"I understand."
Then he put down the second finger.
"Second question."
He looked at the Ravenclaw in the painting.
"Since you think the oath and Medea will not cause real harm to students, why did you agree to cancel it?"
"I still think so now."
Ravenclaw said.
"A transaction based on fairness is not a bad thing. It is an opportunity for students, and of course, a challenge."
"I agree with this point."
Scott said seriously.
"Although I want to help my friend get his musical talent back, I still think this kind of transaction is not a bad thing. It's just a matter of personal choice."
Ravenclaw smiled and nodded.
"I'm not surprised you think so, kid. It's not all bad... but there are prerequisites."
She changed the subject.
"You should have heard me say that the operation of the oath consumes the magic power of the castle."
"What do you mean?" Scott looked at her in surprise.
Ravenclaw smiled helplessly, "I didn't expect... the magic environment would change so much after a thousand years. The magic contained in the Hogwarts Castle can no longer withstand too much continuous consumption."
Scott raised his eyebrows, "This matter... Principal Dumbledore doesn't seem to have taken any measures."
"He can't do anything. He can't ask a student to take risks there."
Ms. Grey took over the conversation.
"Also, although my mother said so, it was only for the long term. Even if the oath is not lifted, the magic of the castle can still last for many years."
"I see." Scott nodded.
Ms. Grey looked at him and asked, "So, are you willing to challenge Medea, Scott?"
"I want to think about it again."
Scott replied.
He said that he was actually preparing to refuse.
Whether the challenge succeeds or fails, Scott himself will get nothing, and it will even make his previous idea of stealing music magic completely fall through in advance.
He felt that he had no reason to do such a thing.
The magic of Hogwarts Castle will be squandered by the oath?
Sorry, this is not his home.
Although he still likes it here, he doesn't like it to that extent.
"I hope you go, Scott."
At this time, Ravenclaw suddenly said to him.
Scott looked at her in surprise.
"You should know that I am not just a simple portrait now, but I don't have much time."
Ravenclaw began to negotiate conditions.
"After you finish this, you only need to help Helena do one more thing, and I will give you Helena's study and the right to open this room."
Scott blinked. To be honest, this has limited appeal to him.
It's a bit inferior to Medea's music magic.
Ravenclaw said, "Helena's study is indeed not worth mentioning, but I think you will need this portrait."
"Portrait?" Scott asked.
Aren't you going to disappear?
"After I disappear, the portrait will become an ordinary magic portrait."
Ravenclaw smiled reservedly.
"But she is not so ordinary. At least she has most of the magic knowledge I mastered during my lifetime. If you meet my conditions, the portrait will become your full-time professor."
"I'm going to challenge Medea!" Scott immediately changed his words.
What Medea?
What music magic?
What is that?
It's not as good as the conditions offered by Ravenclaw.
