Chapter 26: No Sacrifice, No Gain

(I have been in a bottleneck recently, and some people don’t know how to make a better connection with the plot without becoming clichés. Alas! For this fan, I have checked a lot of information, so I have never wanted to become a popular novel.)

Because of the elective courses in the third grade, the pressure on his studies has increased a lot, but Verne is still at ease. Now he no longer helps others to do homework, but instead devotes all his spare time to Lavenclaw's secret room. Although this makes his Ruan Nang even more shy, the new knowledge added in his mind perfectly makes up for the shortcomings.

On this day, Verne stayed in the secret room again, holding the "Endless Treasure House" in his hand and reading it happily, while Hegin and Elana were talking aside, just complaining that Verne was like his former master, and he would not recognize his relatives when he had a book.

"Verne, stop reading and chat with us! Otherwise, I can read today's "Prophet Daily" to us." Elana begged. Now the "Prophet Daily" has become one of the daily adjustments for her and Hegin.

Verne ignored it, but just flipped through the pages with relish, Hegin said a few words hatefully, but unfortunately he could do nothing. A few minutes later, Elana suddenly changed her tone, like a demon seducing her soul to fall into the abyss, "Child, my dear, do you want to get the true teachings of Roina?"

"Um?" Hearing this, Verne raised his head in shock, thinking to himself whether there was another mystery in this secret room.

Elana chuckled, not like a bronze eagle at all, but like a hen that was just throwing her eyes, and said, "Do you want it? If you want it, promise us. During your time at Hogwarts, you will read it to us every day," she seemed to remember something, and quickly added, "It won't take too long, it's just an hour a day, no, forty minutes..." At this time, Hegin also turned his head and looked at Verne as if he was begging with her.

Verne, who had already been threatened with exploitation, couldn't help but feel sympathy. He thought he had to pay a high price, but he didn't expect the request to be so cheap, but he was not happy about it, but he felt deeply apologized. He had always taken the existence and help of Elana and Hegin for granted, and never thought of serving the other party in turn.

"I'm sorry, Elana and Hegin." Verne apologized, but the other party thought he was about to refuse until he heard the next sentence, "I have been too selfish before, and it's my honor to help you read newspapers. Elana and Hegin, can't you really leave the base?"

After being stunned for a long time, Hegin said in a hoarse tone: "Thank you, Verne, thank you for your kindness, but it's useless. At that time, the base is the "heart" we rely on for survival. What's more, we are all the "properties" of Ravenclaw, and we have the responsibility to protect this college and this school."

Elana continued, "Let's forget about the retribution for the time being. In fact, when you walk into this Ravenclaw room, everything here belongs to you, of course, only for student careers."

Verne shook his head and said firmly: "That won't work. I think you will definitely like the article written by Rita Skit. She is the best writer who writes 'legend' (ps. not a biography)."

"Oh! Then we'll 'clench your ears'." Elana said with a smile. After that, the three of them no longer talked about topics such as "cost" and "compensation", but talked about Ravenclaw's alchemy.

Elana said: "Thousands of years ago, Roina was the most powerful alchemy master in the world, no one. Roina pushed the application of magic text to an unprecedented realm. Many of her inventions can even be compared with ancient magic craftsmanship. At that time, some good people called her "Uktrasheil", which was the name of the tree of the world, the source of the Runes (runes is also the magic text), but Roina hated this nickname very much. She said that this name combination means "Odin Horse ("Uk" means scary, and it is another name of the main god Odin. "Trahier" refers to horse)" is the shackles that men who are not as good as her but discriminate against her as a female. She said that no matter how civil and military she is, she is just a vassal of men."

At this moment, Hejin, who was standing beside him, muttered in a low voice: "Actually, I always think that Royna is thinking too much. Not everyone has so much thought like her..."

"Hmph, Roina is the smartest goddess in the world, but she is not as stupid as you!" Elana retorted loudly. She was a loyal supporter of Ravenclaw, and even her lover would not allow the other party to insult her.

"Stop and stop, I have to get tired of being together and quarrel every day. Aren't you causing trouble?" Verne had to speak to stop the couple, so that the situation of the war could be expanded.

"Hmph!" The bronze eagle and the raven groaned at the same time, and turned their heads in the opposite direction. After a long time, Elana said angrily again: "When Roina was building this secret room, she also left her alchemy research results and some materials and props. The bastard next door actually has a common mission, which is to test the heirs of the secret room's enthusiasm and talent for alchemy. If the heirs meet the conditions, we can reveal this secret, about Roina's alchemy experience and where are they hidden."

"Verne, from the magic cleaning tools you made for that school administrator, we can see your talent for alchemy. And most importantly, we infer from the bibliography you usually use "The Endless Treasure House" that you are curious enough about alchemy." Hegin continued. Even though the two "birds" were in a cold war, his tacit understanding with Elana was still so good.

At this time, Verne recalled that he was in the secret room and was making Christmas gifts to Felch in the future. Elana and Hegin frequently asked questions, which made him very upset at the time.

"Curiosity is far more important than talent!" Elana concluded, "Now please write a note and put it on the cushion of the desktop, and the content is 'no gain without sacrifice'."

"Padded?" Verne said in surprise.

"Of course, otherwise, it will have special uses for cushions on the table. Do you really think that is an enlarged coaster?" Hegin said sarcastically.

Verne smiled embarrassedly. In fact, he didn't think the cushion was useful, thinking it was just a utensil for him to put it on a chair and sit more comfortably. Then, he did as he said, tore up a piece of parchment and wrote "No sacrifice, no gain, no gain," but instead he immediately put it on the cushion, asking, "Since 'no sacrifice, no gain,' then I don't need to sacrifice anything if I want to pass on the inheritance?"

"Damn it!" Hegin cursed angrily. Then, Elana took the next sentence: "I didn't actually harm him!" Verne looked at them helplessly, sighing in her heart.
