Connor's Hogwarts

When Connor talked about his interest, he threw the paintbrush aside and began to give Artoria a "science popularization":

"The calendar based on the apparent movement of the sun is called the solar calendar, and the Gregorian calendar is the solar calendar. On the other side of the continent, in a country called the Far East, there is another set based on the apparent movement of the moon. The calendar, known as the lunar calendar, is recorded by generations of astronomers and belongs to the precious wealth of mankind.”

Connor first boasted about "hometown" before turning to the topic: "However, our year is not 365 days, but 365242 days, that is to say, if counted as 365 days a year, each year is 0242 days. The calculation of 025 days is missing, so in the calendar, the remaining 366 days of the three years are given to the fourth year, and the fourth year has [-] days, which is a leap year."

Connor raised his palm and bent his fingers: "Repeat the cycle of 365, 365, 365, 366. The stairs below must be recorded according to this cycle. In four years, there will be an extra day. This is I guess, the reason why this extra staircase will appear, as for why it did not appear for only one day but for so long, maybe even a month"

"I think it's probably because this is a test. The designer still wants us to find it out. If it only appears once every four years, I don't think anyone will discover this secret in another 1000 years."

Arturia nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "So what does this have to do with the ten days that disappeared?"

"I'm about to talk about it." Connor waved his hand and said, "Before the use of the Gregorian calendar, there was another set of calendars. It was Rome that started the Julian calendar in 45 BC. When using the Julian calendar, People calculate that one year is 36525 days, but a solar year is not exactly 36225 days, but 36224219 days, with a difference of about 11 minutes and 14 seconds per year."

"It probably didn't matter at first because the error wasn't too big, but year after year, the error added up and the calendar didn't match the actual solar year."

"So in the 16th century, Pope Gregory VIII made a correction to the calendar. Because by the 16th century, 11 minutes and 14 seconds per year had accumulated into 10 days, that is, there were 10 more days in the calendar. With a wave of his hand, the Pope directly cut off the ten days."

Connor waved his hand and cut: "This is the reason for the disappearing ten days."

Artoria seemed to understand but half understood, Daimao turned dizzy and said, "That's why"

"So, if Ms. Ravenclaw set this set of laws of operation, the calendar used as the basis must not correspond to the current calendar. And we don't know what Ms. Ravenclaw used to set the rules. How long is the cycle in days, minutes, and seconds?"

Connor spread his hands: "Therefore, there will definitely be errors accumulated until today. This is the main reason why the dates do not correspond."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"I waited for a long time and finally waited until today, I waited for a long time and finally waited for you to appear"

Midnight, in the west tower.

Something is humming a song with a strange tune, floating in the air, although there is no moonlight tonight, but there is enough sight in the tower, but the singing is floating in the light blue tower, making this scene slightly It was eerie.

There was nothing floating here but Connor Benner.

Today is Connor's calculation, the last day of February in Ravenclaw, he has been floating here for five or six hours

Today, the new staircase is still in leisurely motion, but Connor knows it won't be floating for long.

Although Connor has not yet determined when the staircase appeared, but 28 days have passed since the staircase was discovered, and Connor concluded that within 24 hours, the staircase must disappear.

At that time, no matter what secrets this staircase hides, there will be no hiding place.

So he decided to stay here all day today and not go anywhere. Unfortunately, he waited from noon to dusk, and from dusk to midnight, nothing happened.

Connor was so bored that he went on a space walk, and the female ghost Helena stayed here with him. Originally, Dumbledore was waiting with Connor, but he ran back to sleep two hours ago , said that the elderly can't stay up late

So now only one person and one ghost are left in the same room. The person is floating around in the air, but the ghost is walking back and forth on the floor. The atmosphere is extremely weird.

"Hey, can you stop singing, I'm so annoying" Helena finally couldn't stand Connor's "sonic harassment" and protested loudly.

Connor was unmoved, and still went his own way: "What can I do, it's so boring here, can you still play cards with me?"

"You" Helena was so angry that her face turned pale, but she was just a ghost and couldn't do anything: "Do whatever you want"

After a while, Helena couldn't help but said again: "Are you sure something will happen tonight?"

"Of course I'm not sure"

""

Connor shrugged: "Didn't I tell you? Everything is just my guess. Of course, I'm not sure what will happen. The mystery may be solved directly tonight, or nothing may happen again. If you If you feel sleepy, you can go back to sleep first, and I will just watch here."

"I'm a ghost" Helena said loudly, "Do ghosts still need to sleep?"

"Ghosts don't need to sleep, so what do you do every night?" Connor was really curious this time.

"" Helena was silent for a while, and said in a low tone: "What else can a ghost do? The only thing a ghost can do is to look at the world day after day. If it is not for obsession, who wants to be a ghost? "

"Oh, do ghosts live so boring every day?" Connor thought for a while. The life of being a ghost can't eat, sleep, or work. Well, it's definitely not suitable for him. It's more interesting to be a human being.

"Of course, if you don't lose your sense of body, the ghostly life will drive people crazy. I don't want to live this kind of life at all. I've had enough." Helena walked around in the same place frantically , murmured: "I hope your reasoning is correct, if this is the case, soon, soon I will be able to get rid of this kind of life."

"Wait, you mean you don't like this kind of life at all?" Connor flew back and stopped in front of Helena with a strange expression on his face.

"Of course, let you live a life where you can't touch things, taste food, and sleep. Can you bear it?"

"Of course I can't bear it." Connor raised his eyebrows: "But since you don't want to live this kind of life, why don't you just ascend to heaven? If your obsession is to see your mother for the last time, you turned into a ghost and returned to Huo Didn't you see her at Gwartz?"

"It's definitely not. If I saw her, how could I still exist? When I returned to the castle, she had disappeared completely."

Connor circled around Helena twice, and said, "Speaking of which, I always feel that you are a bit different from other ghosts, and there are very few ghosts who are as emotional as you, isn't it because the thinking of idiots is easier to understand? "

"Who's the idiot talking about?" Helena's previous aloof image had long since disappeared. Even if she stared at him with straight eyebrows, Connor didn't take it seriously. The idiot's eyes were harmless.

"I just think you are a bit special." Connor raised his eyebrows: "And there is something I wanted to ask a long time ago. You first said that your mother asked Baro to come to you in order to see you, but you Before you come back, your mother will die."

Connor felt that he didn't swear: "Assuming this version is true, then since even you can become a ghost, why can't Ms. Ravenclaw become a ghost to see you for the last time?"

"I said she's not dead"

"Yes, you said later that your mother was not actually dead, so why did she send Baron to find you? After you returned to the castle, she hasn't come out to see you for nearly a thousand years. Your mother Are there really feelings between women? What you said is full of mistakes and omissions. Are you still unwilling to tell me the truth?"

"" Helena was silent, she lowered her head, and there was no expression on her ghostly face: "How can a selfish person like her care about other people's feelings?"

"what do you mean"

Just as Connor was about to ask, a faint blue light suddenly lit up around him. Connor turned his head suddenly, and saw light blue light spots floating around the new staircase. A section of shiny stairs gave way, and it floated slowly upwards.

"appeared" x2

One person and one ghost rushed towards the new staircase. Connor landed on the stairs, looked left and right, and said loudly at the same time: "Conan Conan, pay attention to the records."

Helena also landed next to Connor, and now her face was also full of excitement: "It changed, it changed, it really changed, and then what then?"

The stairs are slowly floating upwards, and at the same time, the steps at the bottom of the stairs are slowly dissipating with light blue light spots. It seems that when this staircase rises to the highest point, all the steps will disappear.

"Look what to do if it's gone down below, what to do now, what to do now" Helena yelled nonchalantly.

Connor's face was also a little dignified. It seemed that the stairs would disappear in less than a minute, but he had no idea what to do now.

"Crown, get out the crown!" Helena yelled.

"That's right." Connor quickly took out Ravenclaw's diadem from his pocket, but it was useless, and the stairs had already dissipated halfway.

"Do you know how to use a useless crown?" Connor turned his head and asked.

"Put it on, you must wear it, hurry up and put it on"
