Chapter 248 The finishing touch!
Hermione raised her chin slightly: "Don't look at me, Gryffindor left a message saying, let's find Sir Cadogan. I'm just passing on his words. It's that simple!"
Ron seemed to see the Palace of Versailles appearing in front of him again.
Sir Cadogan on the wall was unhappy: "I've said it all, I don't know Gryffindors, and it's useless to find me. By the way, what can you do? I, Sir Cadogan, have a duty to help the weak!"
Ted cut off the supply of magic power with a wave of his hand.
"No! No!" Sir Cadogan had more to say, but he couldn't help yawning, and fell asleep hugging his fat gray horse.
It's better not to let him know too much, so as not to spread it.
…
The little friends began to guess what Sir Cadogan meant by that sentence.
Even in the spell class in the afternoon, he was a little absent-minded. It is said that when he was learning the freezing spell, Ron accidentally gave his roommate Dean a "rapid cooling", and his eyebrows were frosted.
Their frost magic is obviously much stronger than that of their classmates.
Ted and the others are also thinking about the so-called his deeds, does he have any deeds?
The two searched the library for a long time before finally finding some relevant records.
Hermione suddenly realized: "I said why I couldn't find any information in the British Library during the holidays. It turns out that Muggles don't have much information about him."
In the records of several related myths and legends, Sir Cadogan was also included in King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.
Wizarding circles generally believe that Sir Cadogan is one of the famous Knights of the Round Table, although he is little known and he was promoted by friendship with Merlin.
On the contrary, all Muggle versions of Arthurian legends exclude him, probably because they do not approve of this statement.
But the wizard version of the story retains Sir Cadogan's deeds with Lancelot, Bedivere and Sir Palzifar.
The most famous deed of Sir Cadogan is his duel with the Wyvern on the Wye River.
Wyverns are dragon-like creatures that have long occupied the counties in southwestern England.
During the first duel, the Wyvern devoured Ser Cadogan's steed, bit off his wand, and melted his sword and visor with its fire.
The melting of the helmet seriously blocked Sir Cadogan's sight, and he managed to save his life—who knows what kind of Celtic superman is able to survive the melting of the visor!
But he didn’t run away. Instead, he stumbled to a nearby grassland, grabbed a short, round pony that was grazing, jumped on the horse’s back, and rode it back to the biped dragon!
With nothing but his broken wand in his hand, he was ready to die.
Little Pony: What the **** &￥￥%#@#￥@%…
The wyvern lowered its terrifying head, trying to swallow Sir Cadogan and the pony in one gulp, but the broken wand pierced its tongue, ignited the flammable gas from its stomach, and blew it to pieces~
Legend has it that his wand is a blackthorn body and a giant beard core. It is nine inches long and extremely flammable~
In the early years, older wizards would use the proverb "I will take Cadogan's pony" to express "I will do my best to turn the tide".
There is also a legend that he has three wives who have left him, and it is rumored that he has seventeen children~
Sure enough, it is Celtic Superman, this is really vigorous and powerful!
Is it possible that that one is too strong! Can't stand it~ so the three wives chose to leave him!
Sir Cadogan: Our old card family members are very capable and fierce!
Ted also remembered that in the year of the original book, because Sirius "invaded the Gryffindor men's bedroom", he also destroyed the portrait of the fat lady at the door.
It was Sir Cadogan who stood up to guard the entrance for Gryffindor.
Although he talks a lot and is a bullshit, he is also really brave.
…
"So, the deed is fighting wyverns? We're going to follow this? Stop messing around!" Ron's eyes were a little straight.
"Why don't we forget it, I don't think there's anything wrong with living a peaceful life." Jerry nodded repeatedly.
All the friends rolled their eyes together, and retreated in the face of difficulties, as expected of you two!
Ted waved his hand: "The so-called following deeds is definitely not for us to defeat a wyvern. Even three or five adult wizards may not be able to beat that thing. Even if the wizards were stronger in ancient times, they definitely cannot be dealt with by everyone."
So, the answer must still be on campus.
Gryffindor is to leave some inheritance to the heir, not to let the heir pass the Golden Twelve Trials!
Find it yourself?
Too much trouble!
Shake people!
Ted went to the kitchen. If he wanted to talk about many things in the school, the house elf was definitely the best choice.
Many of them have served in the school for hundreds of years, and the oldest one is almost two hundred years old. If there is information, they must know.
"Do you know that there are more things related to Sir Cadogan in the castle besides the portrait?" Ted asked.
A group of house-elves gathered around, chattering a lot, but most of it was not very relevant.
At this moment, a not-so-young home-care elf stepped forward, "I do know one!"
It turns out that in the Transfiguration Garden where few people go, there is a dragon statue fountain.
This flying dragon is a biped flying dragon, and its name is Huaihe flying dragon!
It is said that it is a flying dragon running rampant in the counties of the Wye River. Isn't this related to Sir Cadogan?
Sure enough, an old family is like a treasure!
This centenarian old elf is well-informed, and he has a lot of knowledge and memorization!
Ted and the others hurried to the Transfiguration Garden, where there are lush vegetation, a lot of shrubs and low trees, and it is a good place to cool off on a hot day.
It's just that for wizards, it's easy to cool down, and they don't need to cool off.
Plus the number of students at Hogwarts has always been small, so this place is a bit off the beaten track.
And the flying dragon fountain is in the center of the courtyard.
On the stone base is a three-to-four-meter-tall Wyvern, which sprays water from its mouth and falls into the pool below.
"The original form is revealed!" No response!
"Hurry up!" No response!
"In the name of Ravenclaw, reveal your secret." Ted could feel the slightest fluctuation in the flow of magic power in the statue.
But obviously this does not trigger the set magic.
So, what to do?
"Let's go get the portrait."
A group of people hurried back to the secret base and brought a portrait of Sir Cadogan. In the portrait, one person and one horse are still soundly asleep.
As soon as the portrait arrived, the flying dragon statue reacted and turned around as if alive!
However, the magic light burst out from the empty eye sockets of the flying dragon, and a picture appeared in the air—it was a huge skull! Or a dragon skull!
The eye sockets of that thing are 50 centimeters long! so big!
"What's the meaning?"
"It seems to ask us to find the dragon skull?"
"Where can I find this? Such a big dragon skull is not worth hundreds of Galleons!"
Ted nodded. With such a big dragon skull, then this fire dragon was at least an old dragon when it was alive. It was huge and powerful, and all kinds of materials were more expensive.
This skull is placed in the market, and it costs about 1,200 Galleons!
Hermione said: "Impossible! It's still the previous thinking. Gryffindor's puzzles are very simple, and the scope will not go beyond the school."
"So, I still have to look for it in school!"
The situation this time is more troublesome, because no one really knows about the dragon skull.
Still have to trouble the house-elves, because cleaning is part of their job.
It's just that there is no need to deal with the abandoned rooms in the past.
But since Mr. Ted requested this time, let's treat it as a general cleaning, and check all the rooms in the castle!
Ted even followed him to a lot of places, and even the completion of the task [Exploring Hogwarts (Red)] reached 97.6%!
And the dragon skull was found after two days of searching.
On the 4th floor of the Northeast Tower, the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom a hundred years ago is now in the sundries showroom. There is a skull of a Hebrides black dragon hanging from the ceiling.
It is the dragon skull shown in the flying dragon statue.
Ted and the others took the portrait to look for the dragon skull again. The eyes of the dragon skull glowed, and then two beads appeared.
Ted and the others took the beads back to the Transfiguration Garden, and stuffed two beads into the eyes of the flying dragon statue.
Thus, the flying dragon came alive!
Thank you "Timely Yu" for your 100-point reward!
