Chapter 377: The Seed of the Whomping Willow

Standing beside the tall bookshelf, Rolf, Shirley and Narish searched for the book called "The Battle of the Three Wizards".

According to Levias, the book was written by Li Yisen Glover, an eyewitness of the year, and recorded the battle between Salazar Slytherin and two other mysterious wizards.

But when the three really looked for the book, they found that it was more troublesome than they thought.

Too many books, too messy!

There are also many books in the Hogwarts library, but it is not messy. All the books are classified and neatly arranged on the bookshelf.

In addition, there is a book catalog - it is a bound encyclopedia that marks all the collections of the library, which allows searchers to find the location of the desired books more quickly.

But the books in the Tower of Babel are different. They are all piled up in a disorderly manner, neither classified nor arranged in alphabetical order by the author's name.

Many books don't even have covers, or are parchment fragments, which makes people feel overwhelmed.

While searching in the vast sea of ​​books, Rolf used magic to block the sound, and then whispered to Shirley about the silverfish.

It had just entered a book with a leather cover and copper and iron buckles.

The content of the book itself was unremarkable, just recording the climate change in Avalon during a certain period of time, but what was shocking was that on the title page of the book, there was...

a seed.

Standing next to the bookshelf, Rolf pinched the seed between his fingers. Under the light, it shone like a gem, and the color was dark green, making him feel as if he had never really seen this color.

The unusualness of this seed also made Rolf wonder, after it was planted, the plant that grew...

Probably like Grindelwald's elderberry and Ravenclaw's golden apple tree, they all have magical effects.

Shirley also realized this. She looked at the boy and asked:

"Rolf, what kind of plant do you think this seed is from?"

Rolf didn't recognize the seed, but he suddenly had an idea and blurted out:

"Whomping Willow!"

Shirley was a little surprised by this answer, but she quickly followed the boy's train of thought and said softly:

"Do you think... this seed is related to the Whomping Willow in front of Gryffindor Castle?"

"Yes." Rolf nodded.

On Christmas half a year ago, he took Shirley and Hermione to Godric's Hollow and entered Gryffindor Castle.

At the entrance of the castle, there was a tall Whomping Willow. Not only did Rolf's face grow on the trunk, but it even obeyed his orders.

Although there was no evidence, an inexplicable intuition told Rolf that this seed was the Whomping Willow seed.

At this moment, he even had a guess that he thought was...terrible:

The Whomping Willow grew from this seed!

If this is true, the problem is big.

And... who left the seeds in the book?

Ravenclaw is the most likely, after all, the silverfish knows that the seeds are in the book.

But when Rolf asked it, it seemed to have encountered Professor Lockhart's memory spell, and its memory of that period was extremely vague.

If it was really Ravenclaw, why did she hide the seeds of the Whomping Willow in the book?

Rolf was thinking about a lot of things for a while. Shirley was beside him, walking side by side with him. Her ponytail was slightly up and down in the breeze, exuding a faint fragrance.

Rolf took a breath of the air filled with fragrance. He felt distracted, so he immediately turned his thoughts back and said:

"Let's not look for the book "Three Wizards War". There are only three of us. I'm afraid we can't find it even if we search all night."

Shirley hummed and said, "Let's let the Prime Minister look for it tomorrow."

Speaking of the Prime Minister, Rolf reminded: "Shirley, be careful in front of Levias."

"Have you found anything wrong with him?" Shirley asked.

Rolf nodded and said, "Do you remember what I told you before about the last few owners of the Elder Wand?"

"I remember." Shirley said softly, "You said... the Elder Wand appeared in the hands of Loxias in the 18th century.

Then, it was obtained by Octavius ​​Akus, and later by Gregorovitch and Grindelwald..."

"That's right." Rolf said in a deep voice, "Mr. Gregorovitch was once the owner of the Elder Wand, so we know the true inheritance order of the Elder Wand."

"But for the saints, the whereabouts of the Elder Wand was cut off with Loxias."

"Later, many people claimed to have killed him and taken the Elder Wand, including his biological mother.

Of course, the biggest rumor is Octavius ​​Akus and the dark wizard... Richelieu Levias."

Shirley was shocked. "That prime minister is also called Richelieu Livias, and he also said..."

"I came to Avalon 150 years ago, and my age is right."

"Yes." Rove sighed, "Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences, so you must be careful."

The girl with ponytail nodded.

"That's all for tonight." Rove stretched and said, "Call Nairishi back and go back to the box with her to sleep. I'll keep watch tonight."

Shirley hummed obediently, turned and walked towards Nairishi who was searching on the bookshelf in the distance, and returned to the box with her.

Rov did not rest, but picked up a book he had read before from the bookshelf.

The book was huge, two feet long and one and a half feet wide, with more than a thousand pages. The golden hinges and silk threads bound the fine white kraft paper and bleached leather cover together.

Rove chose to read this book because it recorded a lot of magic.

After an unknown amount of time, Rove suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. The warning brought by the spider sense made him turn his head suddenly, and he happened to see a wizard covered in black mist appearing in the distance.

The wizard seemed very surprised that she was discovered in an instant. She let out a light exclamation and soon laughed.

It was a goosebump-inducing laugh, and then Rove heard an old woman's voice saying:

"Hello, Your Majesty."

Rove clenched his wand and asked, "Who are you?"

"Don't be nervous." The old woman hid in the black fog and said hoarsely:

"I am the librarian of the Tower of Babel, you can call me... Granny Gross."

Rove didn't speak, and continued to flip through the books in his hand while looking at her out of the corner of his eye.

The old woman was not embarrassed, and smiled and said, "You read very fast."

Of course Rove read fast, he used the magic of the silverfish "Word Devourer", which can devour the words and magic in the book, and then convert it into memory and store it in the brain.

Of course, he forcibly memorized it, and he still didn't understand the content.

"I remember when I was a child, I heard my great-great-grandmother say that she had seen wizards like you reading books in this Tower of Babel before." The old woman said.

Rove finally became interested. He pinched the page he was reading with one finger and asked:

"Did your great-great-grandmother tell you who that wizard was?"

"My great-great-grandmother said, her name is..." The old woman paused and continued: "Rowena Ravenclaw."

Rove narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

"But Ravenclaw relied on a crown back then." The old woman smiled and said:

"Have you... seen that crown?"
