Chapter 447 The Unrepairable Crown

A tall obelisk stands on the ground like the pointer of a sundial.

The buildings of the entire manor are centered on this stele, radiating in all directions.

On one side of the obelisk, there is a beautiful cubic building, which is still brightly lit at night.

Chopin's Nocturne echoed in the room, with a slow rhythm and a melancholic melody.

Nicol wore a dragonskin apron and white gloves woven from acromander spider silk, hunched over, staring at the Ravenclaw diadem floating on the experimental table.

William, who has been in the manor for a few days, is also dressed in a similar way.

He stood aside, taking over the duties of the house-elf Hercules, acting as Niko's experimental assistant for the time being.

William didn't do much, so he handed out some weird tools from time to time:

Pliers, tweezers, test tubes, golden compasses, even electric welders and laser pointers.

By the way, learn some real technology.

This research has been going on for a whole day.

Nico's expression was sometimes excited, sometimes depressed, sometimes angry, and sometimes desperate.

William is no stranger to that look, he had it in his previous life... Well, when he was doing math papers!
If I have to describe it, it’s probably: I can’t do this question, it’s too difficult! !
"This melody is not good, it's extremely depressing, it makes me want to commit suicide." Nico said without raising his head.

"William, some upbeat music!"

William nodded and snapped his fingers.

Chopin in the mirror frame reluctantly left and was replaced by a young Richard Clayderman.

Clayderman sat in front of a piano and played "Adeline by the Water".

"That's right." Nico followed and stretched.

He lowered his hands, suspended the crown in mid-air, and gently spun it around.

From William's angle, you can just see the famous line of Ravenclaw on the crown:

Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings!

On the four walls of the room, there are six portraits of Nico, and they all disregard their images, holding binoculars or monocles, trying to peep.

As the night darkened, Nico finally completed all inspections.

"How?" William asked impatiently, "Can the crown be repaired?"

The rusty diadem of Ravenclaw wears on the head, and there is no ability to increase wisdom.

It is completely different from the legend.

Seems to be completely obsolete.

"With my current ability, it is very difficult to repair." Nico shook his head regretfully.

He took off the black-rimmed glasses polished by horns of the horned camel, and as soon as he put them away, the glasses flew towards the shelf.

William is a little hard to accept, will the Deathly Hallows be scrapped?

It's scientific, but it's not magical, is it?
"Is it because Voldemort made it into a Horcrux?" William guessed.

Should not be ah.

Even the diary is intact, so there's no reason the diadem should rust.

"Voldemort's Horcrux?" Nicol's tone revealed a contemptuous taste.

"William, it has nothing to do with that... There are traces of prehistoric mysteries on the crown."

"Prehistoric mystery?" William said in surprise.

"That's right." Nico sighed softly, "I deconstructed the entire process of destroying the crown, take a look."

The old man hooked his hands, and a delicate silver instrument emerged with four legs, like a crab, and rushed from the corner.

Nico tapped the silver instrument lightly with the tip of his wand.

The instrument started to run immediately, making a rhythmic 'beep beep' sound.

From the small silver tube at the top, wisps of pale white smoke spewed out, converging in the air.

Seconds later, the wisps of smoke turned into a steady puff, thicker and thicker, swirling through the air...into the Ravenclaw diadem.

The crown is bright and beautiful, especially the row of fonts, which is even more shining.

"It's a crown in normal circumstances."

Nico calmly raised his hands and flicked his sleeves, and the breeze rolled up the smoke.It then flows slowly, like a gurgling stream.

"Next, is the whole process of change."

William kept staring at it carefully, but after 30 seconds, the crown still didn't change at all.

He thought it was a still picture, and just as he was about to remind him, the dazzling luster of the crown suddenly dimmed.

As if someone drove eight times faster, the crown was slowly dimming in a strange way.

In a slow process, a natural rusting process occurs.

The whole evolution lasted 1 minute.

In the end, it was exactly the same as the crown on the platform.

"What's going on here?" William was taken aback.

"The power of time."

Nico raised his withered arms and said calmly: "Time can destroy everything. Look at my hands, they are already as old as bark.

William, I have lived for more than 600 years, and my body has also aged for 600 years. "

"As I said, flesh and blood... mortal bodies do not last forever.

With my current situation, even if I refine a few more magic stones, I can only live to be a thousand years old at most. "

Nico smiled lightly and said, "This body can't support me to see more scenery. My final ending... may only return to the embrace of death."

Nico's tone was relaxed, without much annoyance.

William also knew long ago that the Philosopher's Stone cannot live forever.

The Philosopher's Stone can only extend life, but the body is constantly aging.

This is an irreversible process!
Nico was looking for the other two Deathly Hallows, just to unlock the alchemy book completely.

In the content of the next two volumes, there may be the way he wants to continue his life.

"Time can destroy me, anything, including Ravenclaw's diadem," Nicol continued.

William thought for a moment, then said puzzledly: "But after Ravenclaw lost his crown, it was only a thousand years ago.

The crown can't be rusting so quickly, can it? "

The Ravenclaw ring, that was still intact.Nico's alchemy book didn't show any signs of damage either.

Nico is ridiculous. "Who told you it was a thousand years?"

William frowned, staring at the crown.

"This crown has been weathered for at least tens of thousands of years."

Nicole started walking around the test bench, "Ravenclaw, one of the Big Four, is proficient in the prehistoric mysteries of time.

She applied powerful time magic to the crown.Let it become what it is now after thousands of years of baptism. "

"So..." he paused, turning abruptly to William, "by the time Voldemort found the Ravenclaw diadem, it must have been useless.

He probably found that unlike the legend, the crown cannot increase wisdom, so he made it into a Horcrux. "

"Ravenclaw...why would she do such a thing?" William was puzzled. "Why use this method to destroy a Deathly Hallows?"

This is totally unreasonable!

"This can only be asked of Ravenclaw himself." Nicol shook his head, seeming quite puzzled.

"Ravenclaw may have discovered something, but we don't know."

"Is it impossible to fix it?" William didn't give up.

"Of course!" Nico waved his wand, and the "Book of Abraham" appeared in William's hands.

William lightly opened the alchemy book which was divided into three groups.

"When I discovered the alchemy book, the original owner, Abraham, left a parchment scroll." Nico said.

"The first set of content contains all the alchemy items that have appeared in the magic world.

The second set of content has the method of making the Deathly Hallows.

In the third group, there will be alchemy items that have never appeared in the magic world. "

"As long as the second set of content is unlocked, the Ravenclaw diadem can probably be restored."

"So... still get Slytherin's wand." William muttered to himself.
