Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 315 The Return
"The law of change of the stairs in this castle corresponds to the stairs of Hogwarts! What does this prove?" Connor said excitedly: "This proves that the way to leave here is hidden in these law of change!"

Although Artoria also saw the connection, she couldn't figure out what the relationship was exactly: "Master, why are you so sure? Maybe it's just a coincidence"

"No! It can't be a coincidence, you guys come with me." Connor jumped down the stairs and walked downstairs, saying as he walked, "Actually, I had doubts before, because we have worked hard to observe the Stair laws don't even seem to help."

(Conan: It's not us, it's me. →_→)
"Actually, as long as you notice the change of the stairs in the west tower in the leap month of the leap year and hold the crown, you can come here. The law of the change of the stairs has no effect at all!"

The more Connor said, the brighter his eyes became: "It turns out that it is the information hidden in the law of change, not the key to find here, but the key to leave here!"

Arturia was stunned, and then asked again: "Then master, what is the message hidden in these stairs? Have you thought about it?"

"Saber, do you remember how many flights of stairs there are in the west tower?"

"Twenty or twenty paragraphs?"

"That's right, if you add the stairs that brought us here, it will be 21 steps, if you add that."

While speaking, Connor had already led the two of them out of the castle, passed through the underground passage, and returned to the bottom of the empty island when they first came here.

Connor pointed to the seven flights of stairs floating in front of him, and showed a smug smile: "...So this is only 28 flights of stairs, in fact, we still haven't found a flight of stairs, Saber"

----

"So, what are your plans in the future? Helena."

On the top of the castle tower, Rowena and Helena were still confronting each other after some secret talks. The atmosphere between them was not as stiff as before, but it was still not harmonious.

"."

Seeing that Helena didn't say a word, Rowena said the sharpest words in the most flat tone: "It seems that you don't have the answer, also, you never understand what you want to do, even after nearly a thousand years. Any progress is the same as those stupid mortals."

"you!"

Rowena just looked at Helena calmly, and she was defeated. Helena avoided looking at her and replied in a low voice, "I'm going back with that kid."

"And continue pretending to be a ghost? Continue to waste time in a daze?"

"That's my business! What does it have to do with you!!"

Rowena just looked at her without speaking, and Helena subconsciously looked away.

Rowena said lightly: "And Conner Lake and the others have no way to leave here so soon. For the rest of the time, think about what you are going to do."

"Why? Didn't you say that the kid could easily find a way to leave?"

"Finding a way doesn't mean you can leave. I set up these checkpoints in the first place to keep people here. If they want to leave, they will have to stay here for at least a year. My Ravenclaw disciples must get used to the loneliness. time for companionship”

However, at this moment, suddenly, a piece of blue light lit up around the two of them, and Rowena suddenly turned his head, staring at the piece of blue light that lit up on the ground.

Although no emotion could be seen from Rowena's expression, Helena felt that she was in shock. What happened?Helena also turned her head to look.

The piece of blue light gradually became clear, then rose, and what appeared in front of them was a staircase that rotated upwards. The staircase continued to extend upwards with the rising of the blue light, and continued upward. Finally, it formed a seemingly Stairway to the sky.
Then they heard a familiar voice——

"Why is it so dark and long here? Where are we going?"

"Dad, I'm tired, hug me."

"Okay, daddy hug."

"Master, look! There is a light ahead! It's the exit!"

"Come on! Let's go home! Hahahaha!"

Then the three of Connor got out from the stepped hole on the ground, and then saw the two Ravenclaws who were staring at them blankly. They stood in place at the same time, looking at each other.

After coming here for a while, Connor scratched his head to break the inexplicably awkward atmosphere:

"Ah, long time no see, two ladies. It turns out that this staircase will lead to the top floor."

"." It hasn't been half a day since we separated. Helena looked at Rowena with a strange expression. Didn't they agree that they would stay for a year?Is your stinky sister fooling me?

"." Rowena's face did not change at all, she said lightly: "Sure enough, this puzzle is nothing to you, Connor Lake, it seems that you have already noticed it when you were in Hogwarts Castle. My arrangement is done, as expected of my Ravenclaw students, well done."

"." Helena opened her mouth, hesitating whether it was suitable for her to speak at this time, and finally chose to remain silent.

"Hahahaha! It's a fluke, a fluke." Connor walked out of the stairs, looked up at the spiral staircase that kept going up "circles", and said, "So I can go back to school as long as I go up all the time." Yet?"

"Yes, at this time I should have admitted your identity and reached a contract with you, but this step has already been done before, so you can leave now."

Rowena nodded, without any intention of holding back, and directly explained to Connor.

"Uh, before I leave, can I ask a few questions, Ms. Ravenclaw."

"Okay, let's ask."

"Can I come back after I leave?"

"Since you have discovered the secret I hid in Hogwarts Castle, then I think you should have the answer."

Connor was stunned for two seconds before he understood what Ravenclaw meant, that is to say, if he wanted to come here again, he could rely on the opportunity that only appeared once in four years?

"Oh well, then... can I go downstairs to get something now? I left something in a hurry just now..." Connor talked about him, and then he remembered the precious magic in the room Material…

"..." Rowena looked at Connor without speaking.

"Ahem..." Connor couldn't stand her looking at each other so sincerely, and changed the subject, "By the way, Ms. Ravenclaw, look at this..."

Connor stretched his neck, revealing the necklace on his neck: "This is a magic prop made of fate chains, can you help untie it?"

Ravenclaw reached out and touched it, and said, "It's not a complicated contract magic. The knowledge I gave you is enough to solve this little problem."

After speaking, she stepped back and continued to stare at Connor expressionlessly, as if to say: Is there anything else?It's okay, just go quickly.

"..." So can't you help untie it?Connor sighed and said, "I didn't expect to leave so soon. This is a small gift. I hope you don't dislike it."

Then, Connor took a copy of Facebook from his pocket and handed it to Ravenclaw.

Rowena: "?"

"Ahem, this is a magic prop I made myself, I hope you like it."

Rowena nodded, accepted it, and continued to look at Connor.

"..." This senior is so ignorant that he doesn't know how to return gifts?Connor sighed and took another thing out of his pocket.

"This is your crown, there is an evil spirit inside, can you help get rid of it?" This crown is equivalent to an unfinished version of the imprint, which is of little use to Connor, but he wants to come back here again. With the help of the crown, Connor doesn't want to destroy it.

Ravenclaw took the crown, glanced at it and said, "I don't have the ability to destroy it."

"Eh?"

"My current soul strength is not as strong as the soul inside. Forcible interference will cause damage to my soul, and I will not help."

"..." Are you really a penny-pinching iron cock?You make it hard for me to do this.

"And soul magic is the field I'm least good at, maybe Salazar can help you better."

"Eh? You mean...Slytherin?"

Ravenclaw nodded, returned the crown to Connor, and said, "Among the four of us, Salazar has the deepest research on the soul. Aren't you looking for the treasure of Hogwarts? Then when you find his It’s time to ask him again.”

"Eh..." Feelings... Does one of you four elders count as none of them dead?Connor complained silently, but finally put away the crown, scratched his head, and said, "So... I'm leaving?"

Rowena didn't speak, and looked at Helena beside him, but Helena glanced at Connor and said, "You guys go first, I want to stay here."

After speaking, he fell silent without saying a word.

Connor looked left and right, but didn't understand what happened between the two.

But it seems that Ravenclaw really didn't intend to give him a gift. He sighed in disappointment and said, "Then I'll take a step ahead. We... will meet later?"

Rowena nodded and said, "We will meet again, Connor Lake."

Connor glanced at the Facebook in her hand strangely, and said, "I think... yes, then goodbye, Ms. Ravenclaw."

Connor took Angel by the hand, and Artoria stepped up the spiral staircase, gradually drifting away under Ravenclaw's gaze, and soon disappeared at the end of the stairs.

Rowena looked at Helena beside her: "Why don't you go?"

Helena took a deep breath and said slowly: "I want to have a body again, can you help me, Rowena."

The stairs next to the two of them suddenly turned into blue spots of light and dissipated. In the flying blue fragments, Helena seemed to see a smile on the corner of Rowena's mouth, but the smile disappeared in a flash, and Helena didn't know Is it my own illusion...

"Yes, but I have one condition..."

"..."

We still don't know the conversation between Ravenclaws that day, but Connor's journey to the treasure is finally over...
