"Look at this passage." Hermione pointed to her record and said, "In that temple in ancient Greece, one of the most powerful and influential dark wizards in the history of magic was enshrined. The last of the ancient warlocks and the earliest dark wizards, many of his research results laid the foundation for the development of black magic, and still exert influence!"

"I don't understand, what does this mean?" Ron wondered.

"This tells us who created that monster. We just need to look up the origin of this dark wizard, maybe we will get some hints." Hermione continued.

"But it doesn't say who he is?"

"The last ancient warlock and one of the earliest dark wizards, notorious, researched a lot of curses and black magic, which laid the foundation for the development of black magic." Hermione explained, "The wizard who meets these conditions is the person we are looking for. , which is almost equivalent to telling us his identity."

"I have no impression of this dark wizard who lived thousands of years ago." Harry shook his head, "As you know, my grades in History of Magic have never been very good. Can't tell the difference between Rick and Ulrich the Weird."

"Me too, what year is the date of the goblin rebellion in the seventeenth century?" Ron frowned, and continued, "I remember that they used the tavern in Hogsmeade village as their headquarters in their rebellion. That place seems to be called the Hog's Head, and I've never been there."

"Hagrid goes there a lot. That's where he got the dragon egg and the big dog with three heads. He told me it's very interesting there. You can..."

"Gentlemen, we're talking about evil dark wizards, not dirty taverns!" Hermione said in a serious tone, raising her voice, "Remember when the three of us were looking for the Sorcerer's Stone and Nicolas in first year?" Is that the book I borrowed from the library?"

"I have the impression that you said that you want to read for entertainment." Ron explained to Ivan in a low voice, "The thickness of that book is more than the books I read in a year combined."

"That's right, that's it." Hermione nodded with satisfaction, "That book contains almost all the well-known ancient wizards, and this dark wizard is among them."

"Really?!" Harry and Ron said in unison, "Who is he?"

Aiwen also put down the stone in his hand and looked at Hermione. If he could figure out the identity of the dark wizard, it would be very helpful to understand the monster, and a breakthrough would be made.He still remembered that he was in the underground ruins, the ancient passage leading to the big net where Aragog was. On the rock walls on both sides of the passage, the dark wizard whose face was shrouded in shadow, he only used The black magic has harvested countless human souls.

"I'm sure it's him, but I can't remember some details. Wait, I'll get that book!" Hermione said excitedly, and ran out of the ward as fast as she could.

Looking at the direction she was heading, it seemed that she was going to the library.

"I haven't seen her so excited since she got the number one," Harry said. "She must have found something key."

"In fact, when you were discussing just now, I also made new discoveries on these stones." Ivan turned all the stones in his hands upside down.

Harry and Ron looked at him confused, wondering what he was doing.

"Looking at the dark golden lines on it, I thought it was just a decoration on the stone, but I just ignored it at a glance." Aiwen turned the last stone fragment over, "But I checked it again just now , that's clearly not the case, it's a map."

Chapter 327 Despicable Haierbo

"A map?!" Harry and Ron rushed over.

"That's right, although the exact location is still uncertain, this is definitely a map."

Ai Wen combined the stones together, and mountains, rivers, and canyons were simply outlined on them.

Although a large part of the stone is missing, key locations are still there.

Above the map is an endless cloud, and in the center is a temple altar. The emblem on it is exactly the pattern on the nameplate that Ivan saw in the underground ruins.

That terrifying monster floated on top of the altar, its disproportionately large red eyes and head covered with tentacles were the most eye-catching.

Because of the cover of the altar, its full body cannot be seen.

From the exposed part, it looks like an octopus with its top enlarged countless times.

Under it are countless human beings with horrifying expressions and twisted faces, struggling and begging in pain.

Souls split from their bodies and were mercilessly devoured by the monsters above.

"Is this monster you met underground?" Harry asked.

From this map, he felt unprecedented evil.

Ivan nodded. The shape of the altar of this temple is almost exactly the same as the altar he saw on the rock wall with the mysterious black wizard.

Not surprisingly, this is where Sarah found the monster.

"The temple up here and this monster makes me feel bad," said Ron tremblingly. "It's like encountering a dementor. All happy memories are sucked away."

"I have the same feeling. The monster's eyes seem to be staring at me." Harry continued, "But it's just a map. What is the place drawn on it?"

"It should be located somewhere in ancient Greece, with seas and canyons, and there is no obvious reference around it." Ivan observed carefully and said, "After Hermione tells us the identity of the dark wizard, we may be able to infer come out."

Harry nodded, and continued to stare at the monster in the center of the map with a pale face.

"I don't understand, even if we know the identity of the dark wizard and the exact location of the temple, what good will it do us?!" Ron said suddenly, looking at Harry and Ivan in fear, "You two won't Are you going to go crazy to explore this place?"

Ivan didn't know how to answer, Ron was right.

Judging from the current situation, just being Voldemort is enough to make him suffer, and it is meaningless for him to explore the older and more dangerous unknown existence.

He didn't want to get involved in any strange trouble, especially if the trouble might be far beyond his ability.Just being an eyeball monster without much power, Aiwen is no match at all, not to mention that it is only a part of a complete body.

He also wanted to give up like Ron, but he couldn't tell why. He was almost sure that it had something to do with that vampire girl named Elaine.

Perhaps, this is the trouble their family faces.Thinking of the confused and frail girl, her loose and shabby wizard robes and those smart wine-red eyes, Ivan shook his head with a wry smile.

She already knew that Slytherin's locket was on her, and she had said to come back to him.

What if she appeared again and asked for her help?

And this incident seems to be related to the secret treasure key left by Slytherin.

If that is the case, then it is not simply helping, but cooperating. It is still a question whether the powerful vampire family can take a fancy to Aiwen's current strength.

All in all, the same sentence, Salazar Slytherin is the most troublesome.

"We should give up. This matter is beyond our ability." Ron continued to persuade, "Harry, that monster is not My-Know-Who, you and it..."

"If that evil monster really exists, we should find a way to destroy it." Harry said hesitantly, "No matter what Slytherin's purpose is, maybe these clues we have are the key to destroying it..."

Needless to say, Harry has always been extra courageous and responsible when it comes to taking risks and fighting evil.

"Don't be silly, Harry!" Ron flinched. "We don't have to deal with it, it won't do us any good."

"But we can't let it go, we should tell Dumbledore and Sirius about this." Harry said, "But first, we should investigate."

"But..." Ron said unwillingly.

"Harry is right, and I think so too. It won't hurt to investigate. Maybe it has something to do with the treasure key left by Slytherin." Ivan continued, "And through this adventure, my magic power has grown. Soon, you may be too, which isn't a bad thing for us."

Ron looked like he was about to say something, but at that moment, Hermione rushed into the ward from the outer hallway with a huge old book in her arms.

"Look, I found it. This is the book. I must have seen the dark wizard in it." She began to flip the pages quickly, muttering something.

"Well, I should have guessed that the three of you would be like this, let's see who the dark wizard is before making a decision!" Ron sighed and said hopefully, "Maybe we don't need to do anything , the magic left by Salazar Slytherin has wiped it out, so..."

"Quiet, Ron!" Hermione yelled.

Ron shut his mouth and watched Hermione turn the pages of the ancient book.

After a few minutes, she found it and said happily, "I know, I know!"

"Can we talk now?" said Ron grimly.

Hermione ignored him, pointing to the book in front of her and read, "Despicable Haierbo, the dark wizard of ancient Greece, the most powerful and influential dark wizard in the history of magic, the last ancient sorcerer and the earliest One of the dark wizards of the world. At the same time, he is also believed to be the first wizard to breed the basilisk, and he is famous for it.”

"Basilisk?!" Harry said in amazement, thinking of the big green snake that had come down the pipe and wreaked havoc in the common room.

He was also bitten by its fangs during the battle in the Chamber of Secrets, and almost died there.

"Everything is obvious. We all know that Salazar left a basilisk for his successor in the secret room." Aiwen suddenly said, "I still remember what it said on the stone, he put that monster And the harvest of that adventure was shipped back to Hogwarts. Obviously, the basilisk is one of the harvest of that adventure."

The black wizard who created the terrifying eyeball monster is the despicable Hai Erbo!

Chapter 328 Haierbo's Soul and Aiwen's Conjecture

"Another Parseltongue, it sounds just like Slytherin." Ron looked disgusted, "I wouldn't be surprised if a dark wizard like this Helbo the Despicable came up with research and creation. Tell me quickly, besides that terrifying monster and basilisk, what evil research results does he have?"

"The despicable Haierbo is known as the founder of modern black magic. He invented many evil curses in his life, most of which are considered lost." Hermione continued, "According to the 180 Six curses..."

"My God, this guy created 180 six evil curses, and only a small part has been handed down." Ron said with his eyes wide open, in disbelief.

"That's right!" Hermione looked up at Ron, and threw out even more important news, "He is also recognized as the first wizard to invent the method of making Horcruxes and successfully create Horcruxes. Horcruxes are considered to be Black magic of extreme evil, which is no longer described in this book. In the time he lived, no one could defeat or kill him."

"This, this guy sounds much more evil than You-Know-Who!" Shocked, Ron's mouth was wide enough to stuff an egg in.

Voldemort has a fierce reputation and is considered to be the most evil dark wizard of all time.

Anyone who knows him well knows that the most evil thing he has done is to split the soul to make Horcruxes, and this black magic was actually invented by the despicable Hai Erbo.

Ron was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

The despicable Haierbo has completely overturned his understanding of dark wizards. It is hard for him to imagine how a person can be so evil and powerful.

"What happened to him?" Harry asked. "Who destroyed his Horcrux?"

"No one..." Hermione closed the thick book and said in a low voice, "He was the most powerful and evil dark wizard in the world at that time, and no one knew the cause of his death. This also means, If his Horcrux had never been destroyed, he might still be alive by now!"

"Live for thousands of years..." Ron murmured.

There was a moment of silence in the ward, and everyone was immersed in the shock of the despicable Hai Erbo and his deeds. It was hard to imagine the existence of a black wizard who had lived for thousands of years.

"Before this, I knew that the longest-lived person was Nicolas May, he was Dumbledore's friend and alchemy partner." Harry said, "He has lived a total of 660 years this year." Years old, I always thought he was the longest living wizard."

"If this despicable Haierbo is alive, he is not!"

"Horcrux..." Ron repeated in a low voice, with a hint of longing in his tone, "Like the Philosopher's Stone, this black magic can help wizards gain eternal life."

"This is different, Ron!" Hermione raised her eyebrows and explained, "I read a lot of books about the Philosopher's Stone in the first grade, which is the top research result of ancient alchemy. Depending on the type, There are many functions of the Philosopher’s Stone. Nicole May’s piece can turn stones into gold and make elixirs to help the body delay aging, but he is not truly immortal, and he will still die if he receives a fatal blow.”

"Yes, we all know that that stone is the last known Sorcerer's Stone. It has been destroyed by Dumbledore, and no one can create a new one." Ron followed up and asked, "What about the Horcrux?" , what is the difference between it and the Sorcerer's Stone?"

"Horcruxes are the most evil black magic!" Hermione turned her head and glanced at Ivan.

After learning how to make Horcruxes from the book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic", Aiwen explained to Hermione the working principle of Horcruxes in detail.

Seeing Ivan nodded, Hermione continued, "To make a Horcrux, you need to split your soul from your body and store it in a specific container. As long as that container is not destroyed, the owner of the Horcrux Then he can live forever, no matter how much damage he suffers."

"Like Voldemort..." Harry said suddenly, feeling weird.

The thought of Voldemort splitting his soul to make a Horcrux, Tom Riddle's diary and Slytherin's locket made him feel bad.

Hearing the mysterious man's name, Ron trembled even more, his face pale.

"That's right, it's like Voldemort!" Hermione took a deep breath and continued, "As long as his Horcruxes are not completely destroyed, he is an undead monster, no matter what form he is. That's why we last time When I saw him, he could only stick to the back of Quirrell's head, relying on the blood of the unicorn to regain some strength."

"No matter what form he is now..." Ivan repeated Hermione's words.

He pictured Voldemort clinging to a serpent, lingering in the shadows of an Albanian forest, and he was a monster now.

He is like that, so what about the mean Haierbo? !

The temptation of immortality is too great. As the inventor of Horcruxes, Hai Erbo has no reason not to make Horcruxes.

Or worse, he has other, more sinister magical means to help him gain immortality.

For example, transforming one's body into a monster that can devour souls...

Ai Wen's heart sank suddenly, and an extremely terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

The monster I met in the underground ruins was the despicable Hai Erbo himself.

In order to gain great power, Voldemort modified his body, and it is possible that the despicable Helbo did the same.

After seeing the process of the monster being made on the rock wall, Ivan felt familiar. There are several key magic steps in it that are too similar to the steps of making a Horcrux, and even the magic used is very similar. , the Horcrux is like a simplified version of it.

The black magic involved in that monster is obviously much more advanced than the Horcrux, and at the same time, it is also more evil. As it said, it itself is the god of death.

It is in charge of life, relying on the power of the soul can help Aragog delay death.If those human souls and the bodies of magical creatures are the sources of power and materials used to make that monster, then where did its own thoughts and souls come from? !

The recent research on soul magic let Aiwen know that the soul cannot be produced for no reason, and its source is fixed.

Or, like the Big Four, endow part of your own thinking into an object, or split part of your soul like Voldemort.

In short, there must be a fixed source for the birth of new souls.

It is now certain that that monster was created by the despicable Hai Erbo.

Undoubtedly, its soul should also come from Hai Erbo, continuing to execute his will.

Or worse, it's dastardly Helbo himself!

Chapter 329 The event that must be prevented

That terrifying monster is Hai Erbo himself...

This idea has been lingering in Ivan's mind since it appeared.

Thinking in another way, if he is an evil dark wizard, then in order to keep secret, he will definitely not tell the most powerful black magic.

Even if it is recorded in the magic book, it will be carefully preserved.
