If he wants to get to get a glimpse of Rowena Ravenclaw's secret, Helena in front of him is the biggest obstacle.
Of course, she is also the biggest helper. So, Kaizo decided to express his feelings directly:"Ms.Helena, please don't hide it from me. I already know the secret of this statue."
Kaizo's speech made the ghost panic:"How did you know… No, you are simply overthinking. This is just an ordinary statue, there is no secret."
No, after saying this kind of thing, even a fool would notice that this statue has secret, right. Kaizo sighed, took out his wand, and pointed it lightly at the statue.
"[Identification Technique]".
Unfortunately, because the level of magic hidden in the statue was too high and Kaizo's level was not high enough, the [Identification Technique] was not successful this time.
However, even the failed [Identification Technique] still exerted it's most basic effect.
A faint blue magic aura emerged from the statue, proving that it was indeed a magical item.
"This was magic item detection spell." Kaizo looked at her calmly. Seeing that Kaizo had already produced evidence, Helena sighed and had no choice but to admit.
"Well, you're right, I can stay inside this statue because of it's magic. But I didn't lie. I can enter this statue precisely because I am her daughter.…"
"Oh? When did this start?" Kaizo's curiosity was aroused.
"Actually, this statue was not like this from the beginning."
Helena spoke in a very sad tone:"After my mother's death, for hundreds of years this statue has been here as a reminder of her. But since ten years ago, I seem to be able to vaguely hear the statue calling to me. I tried asking other students and even some other ghosts, but I am the only one who seems to be able to hear these voices, and so I always enter the statue to see..."
"Wait"
Kaizo suddenly interrupted Helena.
"You said that all of this started ten years ago?"
Ten years ago, again. Kaizo noticed that something was wrong, It seems that the drowner from the Witcher also appeared ten years ago. Is there any connection between the two?
What exactly happened ten years ago?
Kaizo hid this doubt in his heart and asked Helena again:"What do you feel when you enter this statue?"
"I…feel like, I am once again with my mother." Helena closed her eyes gently, seeming to be reminiscing,"It feels like my mother's embrace. That she misses me very much."
No wonder she stayed in there all day. Kaizo suddenly realized, everyone wants their mother's warmth and love.
"Then do you know from where did this statue suddenly gained such magical effects?" Kaizo asked.
"I don't know." Helena shook her head, her eyes blank," It's like it appeared overnight. I'm just a ghost now. With my ability… I can gather no further clue."
"But, I want to figure it all out. There may be something hidden here that my mother may have left for me."
After hearing this, Kaizo made a decision, he looked at Helena and gave her his gentlest smile. At the same time, turn on the aura of [Charming Humans] to the maximum.
"You seem to need help…" His tone was gentle and considerate."And I am a proud member of House Ravenclaw."
"Since a descendant of the Founders House needs help with anything, I would be happy to help."
"Maybe you are right. You are indeed an excellent Ravenclaw, a student selected according to my mother's standards-but there was once a young man who was nearly the same as you. He was just as handsome and graceful. He also persuaded me in the same way, but in the end, he lied to me."
Speaking of this, Helena's expression became angry, and the expression on her transparent face was a little distorted.
Of course Kaizo knew, that she was talking about Voldemort during his school days. By tricking Helena, Voldemort found Ravenclaw's Diadem and made it into a Horcrux.
But Kaizo pretended not to know:" So, what is that person's name? Which house was he a student from?"
There was a hint behind his words, hinting at the differences between the houses. As if awakened by Kaizo's words, Helena's expression softened. The female ghost looked at the boy's charming face and decided to continue:"I can't say his name, no one dares to say it. But I can tell you that he has a trophy with his name in the trophy room."
Kaizo understands her fear and caution, It was Voldemort afterall, who had terrorized the entire wizarding world. He had cast a taboo spell on his name, and if anyone said his name, he would immediately know and send his Death Eaters or go personally to kill that person.
Even though Voldemort has disappeared for so long, his residual terror still deeply affects the current Britain- even a ghost.
But since Helena is willing to speak, it means that she is still willing to trust him. So Kaizo continued to hint.
"But I am very honest with you. I didn't cheat on you right?"
This is also Tom Riddle's flaw. He always like to use tricks and violence to achieve his goals. Kaizo prefers to manipulate people's heart through concealment rather than lies.
"You are right, but…no…you are different from him."
The expression on Helena's face changed several times, and finally softened and her eyes when looking at Kaizo were no longer resistant,"Okay, you are right, I am willing to …believe you."
Kaizo could sense the other party's expectations, as well as the pitiful uneasiness and prayers like a small animal. She hoped that Kaizo could really help her, and prayed that she would not be betrayed by her new friend again.
Kaizo nodded and responded to her uneasiness,"Don't worry Helena, I won't be like that person."
"You are the student chosen by my mother, I believe in you."
Helena nodded,"Then let me tell you my guess. I feel that it will take something important to uncover the secret of the statue. It should be my mother's treasure. Generations of students have searched for it's whereabouts. No one can resist it's attraction."
She said in a far away tone.
"It was my mother's crown, containing all of her knowledge and wisdom, but that man cheated it from me."
"I see. I have a clue after hearing what you said."
Kaizo nodded. It turns out that if he wanted to discover the secret, he had to find Ravenclaw's Diadem. He knows very well where Ravenclaw's Diadem is. He entered that place the second day after arriving at Hogwarts- The Room of Requirement.
He can get it anytime he wants.
But the Diadem at this time is Voldemort's Horcrux, it can be destroyed by weapons with magic breaking properties. Although Kaizo has neither the fangs of a Basilisk nor the Sword of Gryffindor, but he has the low level God Slaying spell.
Relying on the penetration damage of the spell, even if it is a Horcrux, he can wear it down bit by bit. However, for the crown to be useful in solving the mystery of the statue, it is likely that the crown would need to be kept intact.
This is a bit troublesome.
Kaizo currently does not has such means. But it doesn't matter, if he could have some soul research as a reference, it is not impossible to understand how to deal with souls.
But if he wants to find this kind of book in the library, he has to enter the Forbidden Book Zone. Thinking of this, Kaizo had a plan.
"The first step is to find a way to enter the Forbidden Book Zone."
So, he looked at Helena,"Thank you for your suggestion. I have a clue now, but further research is needed. Please wait for me for a bit."
"Of course, Mr.Grindel." Helena smiled when she heard that there was hope,"there is always enough time for ghosts."
After the two of them reached an agreement, it was time for him to go to bed. Saying goodbye to his new friend, Kaizo returned to his dormitory and fell asleep.
