Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"I know, you told me about this before, and I went back and checked the relevant materials, above..." Ai Wen said.

"No, you don't know!" Firenze took a few steps forward, then stopped and looked at Ivan, "The signs of the planet have changed, and the ancient evil is about to return. Can't escape!"

Ai Wen looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

Before they knew it, they had come to the centaur tribe.

In front of him, the thick leaves gradually thinned out, revealing the bright stars in the night sky.

This is a very empty area, a large number of dark gray, exquisite and chic cabins are arranged in a patchwork order, which has a unique exotic flavor.

In the center of the tribe is an extremely magnificent temple built on the island. It is made of pure black obsidian. The broken stone walls are carved with weird and exaggerated patterns and patterns, revealing the vicissitudes of history and the uniqueness of the horse people. style of.

The most eye-catching thing is not the temple, but the crescent moon directly above!

Chapter 339 The Evil God and the Split

The dark red moon exudes a unique style of coolness through layers of dark clouds.

The shadow of the moon is sparse, shining on the ancient and mysterious temple below, with mottled light and shadow.Under the shroud of hazy night mist, this huge temple built by the centaur looks extraordinarily quiet and solemn like a silhouette floating on the floating clouds, exuding invisible pressure outward.

Ai Wen was shocked by the scene in front of him and immersed himself in it.

It is hard to imagine that in the depths of the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest, there are such amazing buildings and civilizations hidden.

Behind him, Harry, Ron, and Hermione also walked out of the woods, and then couldn't help but let out an exclamation, shocked by the astonishing buildings in front of them.

Their eyes slid over the scattered small wooden houses of the centaur one by one, and finally fell on the huge airtight black temple on the central island of the tribe.

"I never thought that the centaur tribe would be like this." Harry said in shock, "I thought it was just a few simple log cabins..."

"Beyond everyone's imagination!" Ron followed with admiration.

"The centaurs have a unique civilization, even their own country." Hermione whispered, "I didn't really understand the meaning of this sentence until today."

For the centaur tribe in front of me, it is not too much to use any words of praise.

The horsemen with their bows and arrows on their backs came out of the Forbidden Forest one by one, looking at the expressions of Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione with pride, and were very satisfied with their shock.

"This place is much bigger than it was 20 years ago. There were not so many houses at that time." Sirius said with a smile, "The temple on the central island was built by the ancestors of the horse people, and it is the most sacred place in the horse people tribe. It has been several centuries until now, and many stars and the souls of the centaur ancestors are enshrined in it."

"Where are the items left by Gryffindor kept?" Ivan asked.

"That's right, this is also the final destination of our trip." Sirius bent down, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, and he said in a low voice, "Go into the temple in a while, if you see strange things, don't talk nonsense. Don't touch it casually. The centaurs have unique customs and unique magic, many of which are evil and dangerous, we must respect them and hold the necessary vigilance..."

"Strange custom?!" Everyone froze for a moment.

Seeing Sirius' serious expression, many terrifying images appeared in his mind.

"I went to Egypt last summer and saw this kind of thing in those huge pyramids." Ron whispered, "All kinds of curses, as well as mummies made by ancient Egyptian wizards. Wrapped in layers, stuffed with magic items and outlandish spells."

Needless to say, this is another attempt by ancient wizards to gain immortality.Ai Wen didn't know whether those pharaohs who were prominent in history finally returned to the world successfully, but the evil black magic born in them definitely caused headaches for everyone.

So, is it true for the centaur as well?

They will make all the corpses of their ancestors into mummies and keep them properly, hoping that the dead will return from the abyss of the underworld someday in the future? !

Looking at the horsemen around him, Ivan couldn't imagine that they would do such a thing.In his view, although the horse civilization is shocking, it is still in a relatively primitive clan state, and Aiwen prefers that they believe in their ancestors or a certain god.

"Do centaurs make mummies too?" Harry asked.

"Of course it's impossible. This is not Egypt. The centaurs are originally from ancient Greece!" Hermione disagreed with this. "That was the period when the ancient warlocks were at their peak. Their customs may have something to do with this aspect, but in detail What is it, I have to check again."

The voices of their conversations were very low, but Firenze, who was standing nearby, could still hear them.

"Unlike human wizards, we will not be disrespectful to the corpses and souls of our ancestors." He came over and said softly, "The centaurs now believe in the power of the stars, and the planets give us omens, but centuries ago, we were not in this way."

"What were you like at that time?" Ivan asked.

It seemed impolite to directly ask about the history of the centaur, but Firenze was not upset at all, and he blinked his dark blue eyes.

"I told you before that the powerful magic item that the creator of the castle kept in the tribe was incomplete, and it split with the division within the centaur." Firenze turned his head and said softly to Ivan, "We didn't keep our vows, and the elders have been blaming themselves for that for centuries."

"What happened at that time, why did you split?" Ivan said, "I checked many books on the history of magic, but I didn't see any records related to this."

"The history of the centaur will not appear in human books. We don't trust humans." Firenze looked up at the dark red moon hanging above the temple, and said slowly, "Our ancestors once committed great crimes. No, they worshiped a wicked dark god."

"Evil dark god?!" Hearing his words, everyone was stunned.

"Because the time is too long, it is difficult for the centaurs now to figure out whether that god came from ancient mythology or was invented by our ancestors." Firenze leaned forward and said in a voice almost whispering, "No one knows it Where does it come from, we call it the satyr, who speaks to us from the void, demands our sacrifices, and leads us to prosperity."

This sounds very familiar, just like what the eyeball monster asked the acromantula to do for it, savage and evil.If it wasn't for the time mismatch, Ivan even suspected that the forest god who appeared suddenly was a monster deep in the underground ruins.

"The so-called prosperity is actually destruction in essence. Because of this incident, there were endless wars among the horse people. In the end, under the guidance of the stars, our ancestors won, but the huge tribe was divided accordingly." Firenze said softly, "The people who believed in evil gods were exiled from the tribe, and most of them were high-status horse people. When they left, they took a lot of things with them, including the powerful magic that the castle founder left in the tribe. part of the item."

No one spoke, and everyone was absorbed in what Firenze had said.The centaurs have always been ignored by the magic world, and wizards disdain to understand them. There is almost no communication between the two sides. People only know that the centaurs live in a certain place, that's all.

No one could have imagined that such a thing had ever happened to the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

Ivan shook his head, is this still the Harry Potter world he is familiar with? !

What happened in recent months is simply beyond imagination. Originally, I just planned to follow the clues of the secret treasure left by the four founders, but the discovery became more and more shocking. Ancient powerful black wizards and extremely evil dark creatures followed one after another. One appeared in front of him.

The more secrets you know, the more you feel the horror of this real world.

Chapter 340 The Changed Fate and the Dark Temple

The mysterious ancient magic civilization, the dark gods from the void, and the magic creations left by the most evil dark wizard in history, things have developed far beyond expectations...

Up to now, Ivan has begun to wonder if he is in the wizarding world of Harry Potter.

He sighed, and lightly touched the wand on his waist, the cold touch made him regain consciousness.

In the depths of the underground ruins, the eyeball monster called himself the god of death in front of the giant arachnid, in charge of eternal life, and used dark power to help Aragog prolong his life.But in the end it turns out that it is not a god at all, but the magical creation of the most evil dark wizard in history, and possibly even the dastardly Helbo himself.

So, what is the body of this guy who is called the god of the forest by the centaur? !

Ivan thought for a while, but his head was a mess.He didn't know what kind of monster it was, but it was certain that things got very troublesome, and the centaur who believed in it took away part of the key to Gryffindor's secret treasure.

It will definitely not be easy to regain the part that was split.

"Did you also see the blood moon above the temple?!" Firenze said softly, his face hidden in the darkness, "This is the worst of all omens. The evil is about to return, and that evil god is about to return to the world..."

"You mean, did someone try to summon that evil dark creature that was once enshrined by your ancestors or wake it up from its slumber?!" Ivan asked.

"Could it be Voldemort?" Harry added. "He's the worst Dark wizard ever."

"That's right, it sounds like something a mysterious person would do." Ron nodded.

"It doesn't make sense at all, why would Voldemort know about the centaurs?" Hermione frowned, "And it's impossible for him now..."

"I don't know what happened, but my fate has indeed been changed!" Firenze didn't answer their questions directly, but continued on his own, "It happened in the last few days, representing the evil god The coincidence of the blood moon and the orbit of Mars, which represents the wizard war, means that not only you humans, but even the centaurs will be involved in the upcoming war."

Hearing Firenze's words, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were even more puzzled.

They have no idea what Firenze is talking about. A terrifying evil god just appeared, and now there is an inexplicable wizard war.

Harry remembered Hagrid's evaluation of the centaurs when he was chatting with Hagrid a few days ago: those centaurs are just some confused old mules, they always look up at the stars and give others some illusory omens and warnings, but But he turned a deaf ear to what was happening around him.They may know a lot of secrets, but they will never tell you directly, and trying to communicate with them about those omens is a waste of time.

Harry thought about it for a while, without the slightest clue, and stopped thinking about it.

However, Ivan knew that the war Firenze mentioned was the second wizarding war after Voldemort's return.

Could it be that Voldemort will summon the evil spirits enshrined by the centaur ancestors? !

Although Voldemort has always looked down on non-human magical creatures, this possibility is not ruled out.

Everything is too vague, facing unknown enemies, Aiwen needs more information.

He was just about to ask Firenze when he saw Margaret and Sirius walking over.

"Dear human warriors, welcome to the centaur tribe!" He bowed lightly to Ivan, and then waved his hand, which seemed to be a signal.

Almost instantly, the dark and straight avenue in the center of the tribe suddenly brightened.

Braziers were placed on both sides of the road, and they were lit one by one by the centaur.

This is a path of light illuminated by flames, extending from the entrance of the tribe to the temple on the central island, which looks very spectacular.

"The elders are already waiting for you!" Margaret turned around and gave Sirius, Harry, Ron, and Hermione a contemptuous look, and said in a disgusted tone, "As for the four of you, you are also allowed to accompany you into the sacred hall." In the temple!"

"It seems that we are Ivan's entourage!" Ron couldn't help muttering.

"Don't take it to heart, centaurs have always been like this, there are many centaurs like Margery, they look down on humans because of their pride!" Sirius said worriedly, "We'd better hurry up, don't stay here for too long Long."

The huge welcome team moved forward again. Ivan and Hermione wanted to ask Firenze about the evil god he just said, but they were nowhere to be seen.

They entered the centaur tribe along the Central Avenue. On both sides of the road, more and more centaur came out of the cabins and looked at them curiously.

Most of these horse people are old and weak women and children, and most of them are young foals.Ivan saw that several ponies were very short, just reaching his knees.They had obviously never seen a human being, and their eyes were filled with curiosity and fear.

Compared with going straight along this path, Aiwen hopes to visit the centaur tribe and experience the centaur civilization up close. This is a very rare opportunity.

Margaret obviously didn't have this plan, he was leading the way ahead.

The closer to the huge temple on the central island, the more Aiwen can feel the shock and faint oppression. This temple is about half the size of Hogwarts Castle. The whole body is made of obsidian, and the ground is covered with blue marble. plate.

Exaggerated centaur patterns are carved on the walls, they are hunting, offering sacrifices, stargazing, living, etc., as well as the orbits of various stars.

But that's not all, there are many creatures and patterns that Ivan can't understand.

They are arranged irregularly in everything, and the eyes of all creatures seem to be looking at you, with ancient and mysterious oppression, which makes people dare not speak loudly.

If there were any words to describe this temple, it would be dark and depressing!

"Terrible things are about to happen. In that dark temple full of taboos, the former magic general of the Dark Lord..." Along with the whistling wind, Ivan seemed to hear Professor Trelawney's voice again. Hoarse, hysterical voice.

Is the temple of the horse people the place mentioned in the prophecy? !

A sense of uncertainty rose from the depths of his heart, and Aiwen felt that his blood had turned into ice water. He thought about this matter repeatedly, thinking about the terrifying prophecy that was about to be fulfilled!

When he turned around, he realized that he had come to the entrance of the temple.

A gust of cool wind blew by, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.

Aiwen panted, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at the dark and narrow stone passage in front of him...

Chapter 341 The Temple of the Moon and the Ghost of the Centaur

Because of the proximity to the running water, the air nearby is very humid.

Except for Margaret, all the other centaurs stayed on the other side of the lake and did not follow the stone platform in the water. Without permission, they could not approach the temple at will.

Sirius and Harry, Ron, and Hermione were whispering something, but Ivan did not participate in it.

He was still thinking about Professor Trelawney's prophecy, and the surrounding scene made him very disturbed.

"The centaurs are used to naming their temples after the names of planets." Sirius said, "There are centaur tribes and temples for worship and stargazing all over the world. There is little communication, but the names of these temples are never repeated."

"What's the name of this black temple?" Harry asked.

"They call this the Temple of the Moon!" Sirius pointed to the red moon hanging above his head, "Because it is suitable for observing the orbit of the moon, so it got its name. Because it is an early temple, it is very famous among the centaurs .If you meet centaurs in other places, just mention this, and they will know."

"It's not completely unique. There are two moon temples in the centaur world." Margaret interrupted, with irrepressible anger in his tone, "Those traitors who were exiled by the tribe in the past are here Another Moon Temple was built in another place, which is exactly the same as this one, but the enshrined things in it are completely different."

"So, there are still black temples like this one?" Aiwen asked.

"That's right, those traitors have defiled the sacred place, and the Moon Temple they built is full of evil and taboos." Margery pawed the ground angrily with his front hooves.

Hearing his words, Ivan felt a little relieved.

If there was nothing evil and forbidden in this dark temple before him, it was not the place Professor Trelawney spoke of.

He didn't think about it anymore, anyway, no matter what the situation was, he had to go in.

Through the dark and narrow entrance, Ivan followed Margaret and Sirius into the temple, Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed him, and everyone looked around curiously.

With the light of the torch, Aiwen saw the colorful murals carved on the wall.

These murals are a continuation of the carvings on the outer walls, most of which are related to stargazing by the centaur, and there are many orbits of stars.

Moving forward, the complex constellation pattern composed of stars occupies the entire space, even the ceiling and the marble slabs on the floor, making people dizzy for a while.

Only a real astrologer can understand the value of these complex patterns. The positions and movements of all the planets have been recorded here for thousands of years. Many of them are important star maps that human wizards have never noticed or have lost.

Ivan couldn't understand this, and the three people beside him, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, were even more skeptical, but this didn't prevent everyone from bursting out in amazement.

The passage kept going forward, and when turning a corner, a milky white thing suddenly drilled out of the wall and collided with Ivan.This is a ghost, not the wizard ghost that everyone often sees in the castle, but the ghost of the centaur ancestors.

His attire was not the same as that of the current centaur, he was tall and burly, wearing a rare set of scarred leather armor, like a soldier who had just returned from the bloody battlefield.

Ivan carefully observed the ghost of the centaur. This guy is the strongest centaur he has ever seen, almost as big as two Margeries, which is simply unbelievable.
