Chapter 195: Regret

Arthur nodded, agreeing with Ravenclaw's statement.

"Young wizard, Helena, is she doing well?"

Rowena Ravenclaw mentioned her daughter, her voice becoming gentle.

Arthur thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Grey Lady, she should be fine. Although she seems a bit arrogant, she often helps young wizards solve their problems and is very popular in Ravenclaw House."

Arthur was telling the truth.

In Ravenclaw House, although Grey Lady seemed difficult to approach, as long as someone sincerely asked her for advice, she would answer wholeheartedly, though not always in a friendly tone.

She was probably what people call a tsundere.

Hearing Arthur's impression of his daughter, Ravenclaw smiled knowingly.

"That's how she has always been. She looks like a proud peacock, but she is kind and a bit timid."

"Yes,"

Arthur added, "I was able to come here thanks to her reminder."

Arthur told Ravenclaw about what happened in the Astronomy tower that day. Ravenclaw looked somewhat sad.

"After all these years, she still doesn't want to see me? I have never sensed her entering my bedroom."

Ravenclaw had remained in this world for nearly a thousand years, and one of the main reasons was to see his daughter again.

Once Grey Lady entered this room, her soul would awaken automatically.

Arthur also felt a headache when it came to the conflict between the mother and daughter.

This was a matter of family drama, and he had no experience in that area. Fortunately, Ravenclaw knew that there were some things Arthur couldn't solve.

She restrained her emotions and said seriously, "Since you have found this place, it means you are qualified to receive my inheritance."

"Great wisdom is the greatest treasure."

Rowena Ravenclaw spoke her famous saying. "I haven't left any treasures or books for my successor."

"My guidance is the greatest wealth!"

In the end, an air of superiority over the world emanated from Rowena Ravenclaw.

"Do you mean that you now belong to me?"

Arthur exclaimed in excitement, instantly causing Rowena Ravenclaw's imposing aura to stop as she sternly glared at Arthur.

This young wizard was quite mischievous!

Arthur was just joking, trying to lighten the mood.

But he also had to admit that, with Ravenclaw's guidance, he had an opportunity that no amount of treasure could buy.

What made Arthur even happier was that Rowena Ravenclaw had deep knowledge in the study of souls, which can give Arthur a lot of inspiration.

"Have you ever thought about resurrection?"

Arthur finally couldn't help asking his own question.

Ravenclaw sighed.

"I have thought about resurrection, but since my soul left my body, it has been like a rootless floating plant. Even if I created a new physical body, my soul would continue to dissipate."

Arthur's heart moved. Even if the Resurrection Stone were to disappear, the soul it had bound would remain.

However, after cutting the connection between the soul and the Resurrection Stone, they would return to their original state.

"Okay, let's stop here today. I have been here for too long, and it is becoming dangerous for me."

"In two months, you can come again, and I will have fifteen minutes to answer your questions."

Ravenclaw hurriedly mentioned this and disappeared at the end of the space.

Arthur pouted with a hint of regret. He still had many questions left to ask.

This Ravenclaw was a bit stingy. The charge is for two months, and you only use it for fifteen minutes.

But Arthur had no choice now; he could only come back again.

As for putting Rowena Ravenclaw into the Resurrection Stone, Arthur was still thinking about it.

After all, it was their first meeting, and trust was not a given.

In addition, if the Resurrection Stone bound her, Rowena Ravenclaw's life would be in his hands. With Rowena's pride, whether she would agree or not was another matter.

"What's the matter? Did you receive her inheritance?"

Seeing Arthur come to her, the Grey Lady had already guessed something and tried to maintain her calm.

"Yes, I have successfully obtained Lady Ravenclaw's treasure."

Arthur replied, noticing the Grey Lady's nervousness, but he didn't expose her. Well, knowledge is also a treasure. There's nothing wrong with Arthur saying that.

"What is it? A pile of books? A crown-like item that enhances wisdom?"

Grey Lady's tone was a bit disdainful, but she was also very curious about what her mother had left behind.

Arthur shook his head gently. "Lady Ravenclaw left behind her soul. She has always hoped that you would come to find her."

The Grey Lady looked at him in shock, seeming to be in disbelief, and asked again. Only after she got a solid answer from Arthur did two deep tear streaks appear on her face.

"Mother..."

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have stolen your crown or ignored your words. If I had come back with Bloody Barron at that time..."

Silver tears fell from her and disappeared directly when they touched the floor.

Arthur observed this phenomenon with interest.

Can ghosts cry too?

It's not that he lacked sympathy, but he didn't know how to comfort Grey Lady.

For some things, if you can't fully relate, it's better not to say anything comforting while pretending to understand.

Arthur knew that the thousand-year conflict would eventually be resolved in the near future, and that was enough.

After venting the burden in her heart, the Grey Lady's expression returned to calm. She looked gratefully at Arthur, who acted as if nothing had happened.

For someone as proud as her, silent companionship might be the most comforting.

"Can you take me to see her?" The Grey Lady asked.

Albus understood her feelings and replied, "I'm sorry, Grey Lady, but Lady Ravenclaw has fallen into a deep sleep after answering too many of my questions. She will wake up in two months."

Ms. Grey nodded. "It's alright. A thousand years have already passed, so two months is nothing. Thank you, Arthur, for this."

Hearing the change in how she calls him, Arthur also showed a happy smile.
