Chapter 389: The Thief Ravenclaw
Standing in the dark tomb of Slytherin, Rolf looked at the sword in Queen Groth's hand. For a moment, he had the idea of "purchasing it for zero dollars".
However, the boy quickly gave up this idea.
Gros was the queen in name, but in fact she ran the entire country, and no wizard dared to resist her.
Even the dark wizard Livias, who was once as famous as Arcus, honestly served as a prime minister under her... Is it okay without strong strength?
With this thought in his mind, Luofu's eyes suddenly became clear. He continued to listen to Queen Gros talking about swords and armor for a while, and then pulled Shirley and Nelisi to leave.
However, it was already dinner time, and Queen Grosz repeatedly asked to stay. The three of them could not refuse, so they agreed.
Queen Gros took them to a small garden, located at the highest point of the palace, full of roses, lavender and mint, exuding a pleasant fragrance.
In the center of the garden, there is a tall tree standing.
It was a leafy olive tree, with a trunk that was five or six meters thick in diameter. The dark bark had completely turned black, and the leaves emitted a full green light, making the entire garden bright.
Rolf and Shirley couldn't help but look at each other.
They had seen exactly the same olive tree... on the small island in the middle of the lake in Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets, but it was not as tall as the tree in front of them.
You know, Ravenclaw's olive tree has a history of a thousand years, so isn't the age of the tree in front of you even more terrifying?
The young man looked up at the olive tree. He thought deeply for a moment and asked, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally:
"I heard from Livias that the trees, fruits or leaves growing in Avalon have special effects. What is the effect of this olive tree?"
Rolf was really curious about this. He asked Skull Egg and checked the books in the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets, but he didn't get the answer.
"The fruit produced by the olive tree can greatly improve wisdom." Queen Los replied.
"Similar to a refreshing drug?" Nelisi interjected.
"Brain-awakening agent?" Queen Gros smiled slightly and said, "The effect is much more powerful than that."
"If brain-boosting pills can make a person a little smarter, olive fruit can make a person a truly unparalleled genius."
Rolf raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously: "How does the olive fruit compare with the crown that Ravenclaw took away from the Tower of Babel?"
Both can enhance wisdom, and he is curious which one is more effective.
"Of course there is no comparison." Queen Gros said softly:
"The crown can improve wizards in all aspects, whether it is intelligence, memory, insight, or creativity, it will be enhanced to the extreme.
Moreover, the medicinal effect of olive fruit is time-limited, but the crown is different. "
Rolf rolled his eyes and thought: "Even so, the olive fruit is a cheap substitute for the crown."
He was secretly happy, after all, there was an olive tree in Ravenclaw's tomb.
Shirley raised her head and observed the olive tree carefully. She suddenly said in surprise: "Has a branch been cut off from this tree?"
After hearing this, Luo Fu and Naili Shi both looked up and soon saw a smooth gap the size of a fist on the trunk of the olive tree.
It's just that the gap is black in color. It's obvious that it wasn't cut off recently, but it was many years old.
"You observe so carefully." Queen Gross stared at Shirley and said, "A thief once came here and secretly chopped off a section of the tree trunk."
Luo Fu's heart skipped a beat when a figure suddenly appeared, but he still asked without giving up: "Who is that person?"
Queen Gros sneered: "Rowner Ravenclaw!"
"..."
Although Rolf had already guessed it, he was still a little speechless when he heard Ravenclaw's name.
Co-author... The olive tree in the secret chamber grew from branches stolen from Ravenclaw?
Coupled with the diadem and the golden apple tree from Scylla... Emotional Ravenclaw is still a thief!
In the past, Rowena Ravenclaw's image in Rolf's heart, not to mention the level of a goddess, was definitely an existence that could only be viewed from a distance and not played with.
I am really disillusioned now!

A few people chatted for a while, and the Veela began to bring lunch.
The meal was very sumptuous, but most of the food was unknown to the well-informed Luo Fe!
He poked a roasted hare with antlers and wings with his fork and hesitated: "Isn't this a jackalope?"
"That's right." Queen Gros picked up a piece of roasted and crispy meat, dipped it in plum sauce, brought it to her mouth, and said with a smile:
"The dish is marinated in cinnamon and cloves, then drizzled with honey and roasted with a type of chili pepper unique to Avalon, which is both sweet and spicy."
"What is the Jackalope?" Nellie asked doubtfully.
"A magical creature with wings and antlers."
Shirley used a dagger to cut open a deer and rabbit leg, cut it into three parts, and gave them to Luo Fu and Naili Shi. She kept one piece for herself and whispered at the same time:
"They've been extinct for almost fifteen hundred years."
"..."
"They are extinct there, but the Jackalopes are overrun in Avalon." Queen Gros said lazily, "So don't worry, just eat."
After hearing this, Luofu thought that he must catch a few of them. Then he picked up the deer and rabbit in the bowl and took a bite. As expected, it was as sweet and spicy as Gross said, and the taste was endless.
After eating the jackalope, Nelisi looked at a dragon egg and said, "What kind of dragon egg is this?"
"Wye Wyvern." Queen Gros said, holding a small hammer and cracking the eggshell.
The dragon egg liquid has been steamed until it solidifies, and looks like milky white cream.
Luofu picked up his spoon and took a spoonful. He took a bite of the egg white and felt a chill spreading in his mouth.
Then, the coolness turned into heat, like several fire snakes snaking down the throat and passing through the chest.
The boy's eyes suddenly opened wide and his face turned red.
Shirley asked softly: "How does it taste?"
Luo Fu was speechless for a moment, so he handed over his spoon. Shirley took the boy's spoon and lowered her head to take a sip. Her face quickly turned red, like the morning glow.
After a while, the girl with the ponytail took a breath and praised:
"It's cold and hot...it tastes a bit like Honeydukes' Ice and Fire Peppermint Cream Cake. It's so delicious!"
Gross smiled, picked up the carved gold jug, and poured dark red wine into four silver wine glasses.
She took the wine glass, closed her eyes and sniffed intoxicatedly, then slowly opened her eyes, looked at the three of them, and said with a smile:
"Try this wine again... made from the grapes of Avalon Island. After eating those grapes, you can have a sweet dream when you go to sleep.
The wine produced also retains this wonderful characteristic. "
Luofu picked up the cup and took a sip. An elegant aroma bloomed in his mouth, like flowers under the bright sun.
At this time, the Veela brought a covered plate and put it on the table. After she opened it, the aroma immediately overflowed, making people's fingers lick their fingers.
Rolf stared at the food on the plate. It looked like half a honey-glazed roast chicken. When he cut off a piece of meat with his knife and chewed it in his mouth, it felt wrong.
The meat is extremely delicious, and it also has the fragrance of sycamore leaves, which is more delicious than any other spices... How could it be chicken? !
Rolf suddenly remembered what Hufflepuff had said to him when they had reviewed the food in the magical world, and he said in astonishment:
"This is...Phoenix?"
Shirley and Nelisi looked at each other, both staring at Luo Fe in disbelief.
Phoenix is an extremely mysterious, powerful and noble creature in the magical world, but it has become a meal in Avalon?
"It is indeed phoenix meat." Queen Gros raised her wine glass and said while drinking:
"Don't be surprised. In ancient times, phoenixes were poultry used by ancient wizards for food. They are no different from chickens, ducks and geese. I have a group of phoenixes in my back garden."
"..."
Luofu sighed softly. He and Fox had been good friends for many years. How could he bear to eat its own kind?
So... with tears in his eyes, he added a phoenix wing and stuffed it into his mouth.
Mmm...it smells so good!
