The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave
Chapter 97 Answer to the Eagle-Shaped Bronze Door Knocker
The Ravenclaw common room was also in a tall tower. To be honest, when there was no kind prefect to lead the way for her, Sun Zhu was not sure if she was going in the right direction.
The system was considerate enough to make a map of the interior of Hogwarts for her, but unfortunately the stairs in Hogwarts were not very cooperative and often sent her in the opposite direction.
"I don't think I'll be able to reconcile with the moving stairs even after graduation." Sun Zhu couldn't help but complain to the system, "I made the right choice to go to Hufflepuff. Otherwise, I couldn't stand climbing stairs every day. I think if Ravenclaw students look particularly smart, it must be related to the fact that they have to spend more mental and physical energy climbing stairs every day."
If you persist in this way for many years, you will naturally become stronger.
After finally reaching the door of the Ravenclaw common room on the top floor, Sun Zhu saw the legendary eagle-shaped bronze door knocker.
"If I answer one question correctly, I can pass. I wonder if it will be difficult." Sun Zhu approached nervously. She thought she was not a fool, but the "access control" problem of Eagle Academy should not be underestimated.
"What do you think is mankind's greatest wealth?" The bronze door knocker's low voice reached my ears.
Sun Zhu was stunned and almost couldn't believe his ears.
The question is so simple? Isn't this the motto of Eagle Academy?
"Extraordinary wisdom," she answered with absolute certainty.
But the bronze knocker did not move.
Sun Zhu was even more surprised than before.
"You're right, right? Even if I'm fake, this sentence can't be wrong." She scratched her hair in distress. "Xiao Tongzi, what do you think the answer is?"
"Host, I think the correct answer should be time. This is the most precious and unique thing for every living being, and naturally it will be the greatest wealth of mankind."
"You have a point." Sun Zhu tentatively repeated to the door knocker: "Time and life."
The eagle-shaped bronze door knocker still ignored her.
"Did it... figure out that I was cheating? Or did it know that my purpose for coming here was not pure, so it didn't let me in?" Sun Zhu was in tears.
"What he cherishes is his greatest wealth." A gentle and slow voice replied.
The bronze door opened.
Sun Zhu looked back blankly and saw a boy from Eagle Academy holding a book.
Flaxen hair, serene expression, looks somewhat familiar.
He smiled at her and said, "Miss Sun, it's nice to see you again."
Sun Zhu hurriedly said: "Hello... Hello, I'm glad to see you too..."
"System, what's his name? Have I seen him before?" She struggled to maintain a smile on her face while poking the system in her heart.
"Irving MacMillan, you met him once while riding on the Hogwarts Express." The system is still very reliable.
"My name is Ivan McMillan, you may have forgotten me." The boy's voice came almost at the same time.
"How could that be, Mr. McMillan? I still remember that it was you who helped me move the boxes into the car, and I haven't thanked you properly yet." Sun Zhu said hurriedly.
"I'm honored. It's just a levitation spell. No thanks." McMillan smiled and motioned for her to follow him into the lounge. "If you don't mind, just call me Alvin."
"Okay, Ivan. You can also call me Zhu." Sun Zhu followed him into the Ravenclaw common room somewhat awkwardly.
This is a large round room. Unlike the low ceiling of Hufflepuff, its ceiling looks broad and spacious. Stars are painted on the sky blue background, and the star carpet of the same color looks grand and bright. Dark blue and bronze silk curtains are hung beside the arched windows. Tables, chairs and bookshelves are neatly arranged, and the white marble statue of Rowena Ravenclaw stands in the niche opposite the door.
Sun Zhu stopped involuntarily and looked at the crown on Ms. Rowena's head.
The crown looks simple yet noble. It is not decorated with any shining gems, but is engraved with the words: "Witness beyond measure is a man's greatest treasure."
Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind.
"Are you wondering why the bronze door didn't open for you even though you gave the correct answer?" Seeing her staring at the crown in a trance, Ivan suddenly said.
Sun Zhu nodded subconsciously: "Yes, am I wrong?"
"Of course you're right. But this question is a trap. The key is not whether the answer is correct or not, but whether it is the answer in your mind." Ivan smiled and said, "This question has different answers for everyone. It can have many correct answers, but if the door knocker thinks that your answer is not what you think, it will not open the door for you."
Sun Zhu shifted his attention away from the crown, glanced at Ivan thoughtfully, and said, "You mean, the door knocker thinks that I don't regard wisdom as the most precious thing in my life, so it won't open for me?"
"Yes." He nodded with a smile, "It has to be your own answer."
"Then your answer..."
"My answer is a tricky one. It's a universal answer that I and other students have come up with after trying many times." Ivan was surprisingly frank. "In fact, I still can't figure out what is most precious to me, but if it is my most precious treasure, then it will naturally be the most cherished by me. It doesn't matter if you can't give a specific answer, as long as your logic can convince the door knocker, it's fine."
Sun Zhu felt a little dizzy: "I think I understand. This is not a fill-in-the-blank question, but a logic question."
"That's right. Ravenclaw students have been battling against door knockers for years, and have come up with a set of universal templates." Ivan laughed heartily. "If you need, I can tell you all of them."
Eh? Sun Zhu looked at Ai Wen in surprise, but felt embarrassed when he saw that he was serious.
"No... no need. I just came here on a whim, suddenly wanting to wander around. This is the secret of your academy, so it's better not to... tell other people." She waved her hand to refuse.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just joking. Many Ravenclaw students also refuse to use template answers because they feel that their intelligence is enough to deal with the tricky questions of the door knocker, and they enjoy it even if they can't answer them." Ivan shook his head indifferently, "So, Zhu, do you come here for something important to do?"
Sun Zhu shook his head: "I'm just here to hang out, nothing else. It's a good opportunity to see the door knocker of the Eagle Courtyard, which is indeed much more complicated than the wooden barrels in our Badger Courtyard..."
After all, she had already seen the true appearance of the crown and had the system record and back up the details, so naturally there was nothing else to do.
"Well, I heard that if you knock on the barrel of Badger Yard incorrectly, you will be soaked in vinegar. From this point of view, the protection measures of Badger Yard are more sufficient." Ivan suddenly said: "In this case, I have an unwelcome request. Would you like to come to the Quidditch training ground in the afternoon to watch our friendly match?"
