Chapter 488 Ravenclaw's Golden Apple
Rove raised his wand high, and the pale light flickered, illuminating the empty high platform. What caught his eye made him stunned.
He saw a coffin.
This is the tomb of Ravenclaw. It is not surprising to see the coffin, but it is scary to think about it if you can't see it!
But the problem is that Rove didn't see the coffins of Ravenclaw and Helena in his memory, only such a strange wooden coffin.
After Rove approached with Shirley, he looked at her a few more times, becoming more and more frightened.
The coffin was placed alone on the high platform. There were no words engraved on the surface of the coffin, only a simple pattern on the lid:
Triangular eyes with a vertical line in the middle of the pupil.
Symbol of the Deathly Hallows!
Last summer, Rove encountered a ghost ship on the way to the United States on the Mayflower. The stern of the ship dragged such a wooden coffin.
Both are exactly the same.
But that coffin was floating in the Atlantic Ocean, and it shouldn't be in Ravenclaw's tomb anyway!
Rove told Shirley about his doubts, and guessed again: "Did someone bring it in?"
"But this is Ravenclaw's tomb, and a few wizards can get in." The girl said softly.
"Yeah." Rove pondered, and frowned again: "But didn't the two of us come in too?"
Shirley was silent for a moment, and she didn't understand at all why she could come in. The girl suddenly thought keenly that she had lived in a monastery not far from Ravenclaw's tomb since she was a child... It seemed that it was not a coincidence.
Shirley suppressed the doubts in her heart, and continued to speak softly:
"Maybe it's just a similar style. Maybe this coffin was placed by Ravenclaw himself. Didn't you say that... She knew she would die a long time ago, and she may have made preparations in advance."
Rove nodded slightly, this possibility is indeed more likely.
So the question is, who is buried in this coffin?
Rove stepped forward. He held the coffin lid with both hands, kicked his feet on the ground, and pushed forward vigorously. Shirley also came to help, but the wooden coffin lid remained motionless, as if nailed to it.
The boy waved his wand again, but the coffin lid remained motionless. He even stabbed the wooden coffin with the goblin's dagger without even scratching it.
"It seems that there is magic on it." Luo Fu sighed, and was going to go back and ask Helena to see if she knew about it.
"Let's look around for Ravenclaw and Helena's coffins."
Shirley nodded, and walked north, while Rove searched west, but the west soon came to an end, and there was nothing else but the black rock wall.
"Rove! Rove!" Shirley suddenly shouted, "Come and see this!"
Hearing this, Rove ran north quickly, and finally stopped beside the girl with ponytails. Looking into the distance, he saw stone steps spreading downwards, and at the end was a small lake.
In the center of the lake, there is a small island. On the island grows a towering ancient tree. The trunk is as thick as four or five people hugging each other. The branches and leaves are luxuriant and expanding, covering the entire lake.
There are still silver leaves growing between the branches, shining in the dark, and the branches are covered with golden... apples.
Rove stood there in a daze, and murmured, "Golden Apple."
He suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if he saw something, and suddenly said:
"This golden apple tree comes from Avalon... It should be the seeds brought back by Professor Ravenclaw and planted here."
"How did you know?" Shirley asked curiously, "You heard Ravenclaw mention it a thousand years ago?"
"No." Rove shook his head, pointed to the distance, and said in a low voice, "Look there... on the tree trunk, there is a bloody human face."
"I saw an elder tree in Nurmengard that also had a human face on its trunk, and Grindelwald told me it came from Avalon.
He also gave me a seed, which I planted in the box. "
Xueli tiptoed and tried to look into the distance, but unfortunately the distance was too far, her eyesight was far inferior to that of Rove, and she couldn't see the face mentioned by the boy at all.
"I'll take you to the island," Rove said, "where you can see clearly."
Shirley hummed, and was about to open the box and take out the broomstick, but Rove laughed and said:
"Don't bother, I'll fly over with you in my arms."
Before the girl with ponytail could react, Rove had already picked her up and flew towards the center of the lake.
Shirley was hugged in her arms without struggling, but her eyelashes trembled, and she looked at his side face openly.
When flying to the middle of the lake, Rove saw a branch hanging down with two plump golden apples on it. He said softly:
"Shirley, pick them off and come back to taste the taste... The elderberry planted by Grindelwald has the effect of quickly restoring magic power just by eating the leaves.
This is a fruit, and after eating it, it must have miraculous effects. "
The girl hummed, and raised her hand to grab the apple, but she didn't know whether it was because she was lying in the boy's arms, making her a little weak, or the apple was too tightly connected to the branch, she pulled it twice, but she didn't pick it off.
Rove immediately changed into a hugging position, with his arms slightly upwards, supporting Xue Li's upturned buttocks like peaches, allowing her to exert more strength.
But it's okay not to ask, after that, Shirley's breathing became short of breath in an instant.
She didn't wear a thick nun's robe, but changed into her own clothes. Through the soft, thin material, she could clearly feel the boy's palm imprinted on it.
Shirley didn't know whether it was the temperature of Rove's palm or her fault, anyway, her buttocks were burning hot.
The girl with the ponytail had red ears and didn't make a sound.
Rove noticed something unusual about the girl in his arms, lowered his head and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Xue Li glared at him resentfully. The girl in the darkness was delicate and picturesque, her face was smudged with red clouds, she just shook her head and said, "No...it's nothing, I'm fine."
After picking the two apples for more than ten minutes, both Rove and Shirley were sweating profusely.
The young man couldn't help sighing... Even apples in Avalon are so different!
Now that he was so tired, he had to slow down his flight speed. At a distance of several hundred meters, Rove hugged Shirley, who was slender and soft, and flew for more than ten minutes.
Swimming is probably faster than both of them.
Of course, Rove hugged the girl, and the girl hugged the plump golden apple, which became a seductive and charming scenery on the lake.
It's a pity that no one can see it.
After arriving at the island, Rove put Shirley down and looked around.
He still didn't see the coffins of Ravenclaw and Helena, but he saw a statue as tall as a man under the tree.
It was a statue of a golden mermaid. She had three heads facing three directions, and six arms, but she shared one body.
The six hands of the mermaid hold:
Crosses, chests, sickles,
And three torches emitting blue light.
Rove stared at the box, while Shirley was attracted by the cross, and both couldn't help reaching out and touching it.
In an instant, the eyes of the two of them were blurred, as if everything had disappeared, only the thick mist.
