Chapter 491 Mother of Dragons
In the profession of tomb robbery, which is becoming more and more contracting, practitioners are most afraid of seeing two things in the tomb when they are doing construction work:
One is called Robbery Cave, and the other is called Zongzi.
The former means that a colleague has been here, and the most precious funeral objects may be taken away in advance; the latter means danger, after all, fraudulent corpses are no joke.
As Rowena Ravenclaw, a thousand-year-old corpse, she was terribly powerful in her lifetime. If she really cheated on the corpse, it would be too scary.
At least it wasn't something Rove's small body could resist.
Therefore, when he heard the phrase "Don't come here without any harm", Rove was shocked into a cold sweat, and even slipped his foot and almost fell from the tree.
He grabbed the coffin board, stabilized his body, and looked at Ravenclaw in surprise, making sure that she didn't cheat the corpse, and was still lying quietly in the coffin, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Rove raised his head and rolled his eyes at the girl with ponytail beside him. She was the one who answered the conversation on purpose just now, scaring him enough!
Shirley didn't expect that Rove would be frightened, she wanted to laugh, and seeing the boy staring at her, she had to hold back, not to let herself be gloating too much.
Luo Fu stretched out his hand, flicked her ponytail lightly, and said viciously: "Still laughing... I will teach you a lesson when I get back!"
Shirley grabbed Rove's sleeve, swayed slightly, and said softly, "I was wrong."
Looking at the coquettish girl begging for mercy, Luo Fu couldn't help sighing. Who can resist this kind of natural charm that I still feel pity for? !
As a result, the boy's desire to "go back and teach Shirley a lesson" grew stronger.
The two played around for a while, then turned their attention to Ravenclaw again:
She was lying in the coffin, tied with a colorful knot, and her shiny black hair hung on her chest, like a waterfall pouring down the mountains.
Ravenclaw also wore a set of silk clothes woven with ivory brocade and silver thread, which was extremely close-fitting. Although it had been a thousand years, it was still spotless.
Shirley looked at Ravenclaw carefully, and murmured, "She's so pretty."
Rove smiled and said, "You're only fourteen years old. When you're eighteen, you'll be no worse than Ravenclaw."
Shirley blinked her moist eyes, "Really?"
Rove said seriously: "Whoever lied to you is a puppy."
The girl squinted her eyes and smiled. She tilted her head again, looked at the other coffin, and asked, "What about this...your fiancée? Who is prettier between us?"
Rove was surprised, and asked, "What... whose fiancée is it?"
"You." Shirley said softly: "Didn't that goblin named Pork say that you told King Raignac I that you want to marry Helena Ravenclaw?"
Rove secretly greeted the eighteenth generation of Polk's ancestors, and immediately said:
"I didn't say that, I thought... oh, Cassandra said it!
At that time, she wanted to buy silverware, and she was afraid of being fooled by the goblins, so she gave me nonsense about her identity in front of King Legnac I.
I found out about it later and severely criticized her. "
"Really?" Shirley blinked, "Didn't you say that Professor Trelawney has a portrait of Cassandra?
If I have a chance in the future, I will ask her to see if you are telling the truth. "
"..."
Now that the bodies of Ravenclaw and Helena are found, Rove can be considered to have completed the purpose of this trip.
But he didn't intend to take away the corpses, instead he planned to let them lie here.
Rove doesn't know why the two have survived for thousands of years, but it probably has something to do with this golden apple tree.
Once they are taken out, if the corpses rot, it will be really difficult to revive them.
Of course, as the saying goes, if a thief does not go empty-handed, one must love one's career if one does it... Rove must be worthy of his identity as a grave robber.
So, he was going to take that mermaid statue away and study it carefully.
In addition, there is another urgent task, that is, the golden apple.
Grindelwald's elderberry leaves can quickly restore magic power, and he used to have a snake tree that can heal injuries.
From this point of view, each tree has its own special effect. Rove didn't know the effect of the golden apple, and he didn't dare to eat it directly.
He originally wanted the acromantula to taste the poison for him, but considering that there was a skull from Avalon in the box... just ask it directly.
So Rove returned to the box with the golden apple and woke up the skull-headed Egg.
Egg's blood-red eyes turned for a while, and he asked in a hoarse tone:
"Where did you get this golden apple?"
Rove didn't mention Ravenclaw, just lied: "Grindelwald gave it to me, and I don't know where he got the apple from."
The skull was silent for a moment, then whispered: "I heard from my mother that there was once a golden apple tree planted in her back garden.
But a thousand years ago, that golden apple tree was stolen by a nasty woman. "
Rove didn't expect Ravenclaw to do such a thing, but he didn't show it on his face, just pretending to be puzzled: "Who is that woman?"
"I don't know, that woman's name is taboo with my mother." Egg quacked.
"Then does eating this golden apple have any effect?" Rove asked.
"It can fill the user's body with energy. Just by eating it, you don't even need to sleep, and you won't feel sleepy at all." Yi Ge thought for a while and said:
"In short, the physical and mental exhaustion can be fully compensated, allowing you to return to your best condition immediately."
Rove pondered, no wonder the corpses of Ravenclaw and Helena would not rot, it turned out that the golden apple tree was used to fill the body with energy.
Just when the boy was still thinking about the magical effect of the golden apple, Yi Ge said hoarsely:
"In exchange for information... Did Grindelwald ask you to take me back to that island?"
"He said so." Rove nodded, "Why don't you want to go back?"
"That's not true." The skull rattled and sneered, "But after I left that island, my mother must have had a new son."
Rove raised his eyebrows. He remembered that Egg's father was Corvinus Gaunt. The old man was almost three hundred years old, so old... Then he could have a new son?
It's really old and strong!
"Egg, you're not joking, are you?"
"Of course I'm not joking." Yi Ge looked away coldly into the distance.
"Before me, my mother had many sons, and every time a son died, a new son was born.
As a curse, the offspring of the Mother of Dragons will never die. "
"Mother of Dragons..." Rove murmured and repeated.
He suddenly remembered the prophecy that Cassandra left him:
Neither the son of the snake nor the mother of the dragon can be trusted.
