Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

He flicked his wand lightly, and there was a clicking sound behind the curtain.

It was only then that Ivan noticed that there was a secret door hidden in this inconspicuous corner. Could it be that the "Book of Abraham" was placed inside? !

Under Le May's gesture, he followed the other party and walked in.

Passing through the narrow stone gate, the narrow corridor built with huge stone blocks went straight up. Because few people came, the stairs were covered with thick dust.

The air in the corridor was slightly turbid, and it was difficult to breathe.

But at the thought of being able to see "The Book of Abraham", a magic book that only exists in legends, Aiwen felt extremely excited and nervous at this time.

In the walls on both sides of the corridor, there are many strange stone statues.

They are placed in niches recessed in the walls, and they are all in the shape of classic opera characters.

Ivan knew that Lemay was the most loyal opera lover, but he didn't understand why the other party had to visit so many stone statues of song characters here.

Just when he was suspicious, Flamel stopped suddenly on the stairs.

"Here we are, right here!" he said softly.

Following his gaze, Ivan saw a statue of an old man in a long robe with wide-open eyes and a terrifying expression. Behind him seemed to be a devil!

He blinked to see better.

From this statue, he didn't feel any magical breath.

But judging by Flamel's expression, it is obviously not simple. Could it be that the "Book of Abraham" is hidden in it? !

"When I last remodeled Beauxbatons hundreds of years ago, I left this passage here, just like most of the secret passages in the school, there is no magic here, so that it will not be suspected. ’ explained Flamel, ‘but really, this statue of Faust and the devil is a portkey!’

Chapter 405 Golden Cave and Crystal Tree

Ivan has seen many Portkeys before, and they all exude a more or less magical aura.

That's a sign that magic works, even the special Portkey to the Wizarding Prison of Azkaban kept under the Ministry of Magic.

But in front of him, nothing could be felt on this statue of Faust.

It is like any ordinary stone statue, without any magic hidden in it, except for the strange shape, it will not let others take a second look at it.

"Don't be surprised, like the other statues around here, it's really just an ordinary stone sculpture, and only the right spell can turn it into a portkey." Flamel explained, "The space where the book is located has been destroyed by the ancient and powerful It is protected by magic, and no one can enter it without using the right method. This statue is the only way to get there, and I used alchemy to leave a locator in it that leads to that space."

As we all know, a port key is a magical item that can quickly transform a person from one dimension to another, and it is generally an inconspicuous thing.

Making a Portkey requires reporting to the Department of Magic Key Office, whose spell is Mentos.

As long as the destination is in mind when chanting the mantra, it can be made.

But obviously, what Ivan saw in front of him was different from common door keys.

First of all, it is definitely not under the control of the Ministry of Magic.Moreover, after being transformed by LeMay, it must be activated with a special spell, and it is an alchemy tool specially used to lead to the space where the "Book of Abraham" is preserved.

"Have you seen the opera Faust?" Flamel asked softly.

He didn't rush to use magic, but turned to look at Ivan.

Under the gaze of the other party, Ivan shook his head, indicating that he had never seen it.

"Then I suggest you take a look. Although this is an opera created by Muggles, it is indeed a very classic and great work that can help you understand many philosophies of life. At critical moments, I encourage you to move on. LeMay said slowly in an old voice, "Remember, people who work hard for a lifetime will inevitably go astray. Even if the heart is covered in darkness, a good person still understands what is the frank and right way..."

He recited a few famous lines from Faust, and then stopped to rest for a while, as if to leave time for Ivan to think carefully about the meaning of these words.

"My dear child, you are the inheritor I choose!" A few minutes later, Flamel said in a heavy voice with a serious expression, "I hope you will not be obsessed with eternal life, rights, and wealth like me. In terms of the benefits, it is to be able to go all the way to the end and learn the real secrets contained in the "Book of Abraham."

After he finished speaking, he patted Ivan on the shoulder and walked to the statue of Faust and the devil in front of him.

"There is promise in the beginning!" Flamel said softly.

He glanced at Ivan again before quickly tapping the statue with his wand.

There was a flash of faint blue light, and the statue shook.

Now, Aiwen can feel the looming magic power from it. This statue has changed from an ordinary stone carving to a door key, and the spell is from the beginning!

This sentence also comes from Faust, pointing to the origin of all things.

Literally, it means that it is not words or ideas that implement and create everything, but practice and behavior.

As long as people work hard, it is inevitable to make mistakes.

So don't stop trying because you're afraid of making a mistake, making a mistake, and making a mistake.

"Are you ready?" Flame put his hand on the statue, signaling Ivan to do the same, "We'd better hurry up and don't keep Albus waiting!"

As soon as Ivan put his hand on the door key, the statue of Faust shattered in an instant, and a soft blue light emerged from it.

The light changed, and the world in front of him changed accordingly, and Ivan felt dizzy.

In the strange world of brilliance, he was propelled forward by an invisible force, and everything around him became distorted, as if he had entered a strange tunnel.

I don't know how long the time has passed. When Aiwen regained consciousness, he found himself in an empty and huge cave.

The light in front of him was dim, and in front of him, the statue changed from a portkey to a stone sculpture again.

And this is what Aiwen can see at first sight. Under the contrast of colors, the originally small statue of Faust is too obvious at this moment.

Behind the statue, the strangely shaped, vertically downward stalactites on the rock wall, ground and roof of the cave are not made of rough stones, but are all made of dazzling gold, and gold is everywhere as far as the eye can see.

This is an underground cave made of gold! ! !

Aiwen looked around in surprise, and only then did he really understand the meaning of the phrase turning stone into gold.

Before this, he had never imagined that Flamel would use the Philosopher's Stone to turn the entire cave into gold. This is simply crazy!

Apart from shock, he couldn't find other adjectives to describe the scene in front of him.

In fact, he had never seen so much gold before. Compared with the gold in front of him, the wealth boasted by all the pure-blood wizard families was a joke.

No wonder LeMay repeatedly warned him before entering here.

Even though Aiwen had made up his mind, after seeing so much gold and the temptation of immortality, he still couldn't help but be moved.

He tried his best to keep his breathing steady, but his eyes couldn't help looking at the countless gold on the surrounding walls, uncontrollably.

"This is the place where I used to make the Philosopher's Stone. In countless experiments, the energy spilled from the Philosopher's Stone made this place like this." LeMay explained, "This space is tens of thousands of feet below Beauxbatons. , although it is far away, it is still under the protection of various magics in the school. The original entrance was completely sealed by me, and no one can enter here except by using this portkey."

He walked forward, and Ai Wen hurriedly followed.

The cave has a large space, and everything is golden as far as the eye can see.

Ivan had a feeling that the world was spinning. After walking a few steps, he couldn't even tell which was the bottom and which was the top.

In the golden world, everything has no boundaries, no boundaries.

Just when he felt that he was about to faint, he saw a huge ancient tree.

This ancient tree is not of any species that Ivan knows, and its trunk is enough for dozens of people to surround it.

Uncle has luxuriant branches and leaves, standing there like a huge triangular pyramid.

The leaves emit a faint light, which is the only source of light in the cave.

Aiwen moved forward a few steps, and clearly saw that the leaves and texture of the tree were all fluorescent crystals, like crystals, transparent throughout.

In the center of the tree trunk, in an inward tree hole, quietly placed a very thick magic book - "The Book of Abraham"!

Chapter 406 The Scepter Swallowed by the Serpent

"I brought this book back to Beauxbatons from Egypt more than 600 years ago and put it here!" LeMay explained, "The seeds of this tree were also brought in at that time, I didn't notice It was actually caught in the pages of the book. When it was discovered, it had already begun to sprout and grow. In the following hundreds of years of alchemy experiments, it absorbed the powerful magic power overflowing from the Philosopher's Stone, grew slowly, and gradually became what it is today. "

Aiwen raised his head and looked up at the huge ancient crystal tree.

Then, his eyes quickly turned to the "Book of Abraham" in the center of the tree!

As Flamel said before, this is a very big and thick magic book.

It looks very old, the pages of the book are made of delicate and smooth bark, showing a strange lavender color under the fluorescent light, and the edges have begun to crystallize.

That's right, crystallization!

Just like the huge ancient tree in front of me, they seem to be made of the same material.

Ivan had a feeling that the pages of "The Book of Abraham" were made of this strange ancient crystal tree in front of him, and they were one.

He took a step forward so he could see better.

The quaint and heavy atmosphere came head-on. Although he didn't touch or flip through it, Aiwen could clearly feel the traces of the passage of time on this book.

It just visits there quietly, as if it has never been moved.

Thousands of years have passed in a hurry. It is conceivable that in history, countless talented and powerful wizards once owned this magic book.

Each of them is a powerful wizard who can leave his name in the history of magic. Around the ownership of this magic book, there have been countless battles and conspiracies.

Judging from the current results, no matter how many people have obtained the "Book of Abraham", none of them can know the real secret hidden in it.

Flamel should be the one closest to the truth, from which he gained endless life and unimaginable wealth for ordinary people.

But he said that his starting point itself was wrong.

Ivan took a deep breath, not knowing whether he would be able to penetrate the mystery of this book, or, like its previous owners, would leave deep regrets in the end.

He shook his head, hastening to concentrate.

In front of Ivan, the outer skin of the "Book of Abraham" was tightly wrapped by a large piece of brass.

It is full of small and complicated lines, and from time to time, dark golden brilliance flashes.

There is no name written on the cover directly above, or a horrible pattern is drawn like other ancient magic books, as a warning to those who come later.

On the contrary, it was densely filled with strange words.

Looking at these ancient texts, Ai Wen felt that he vaguely knew each other, as if he had seen them somewhere.

Then, he realized that these were all ancient runes.

Not long ago, he had seen similar content in Hermione's textbook.

Every Thursday night, Hermione would spend more than five hours practicing the ancient runes she had learned on the parchment or searching for information to learn new runes.

Because I watched a lot, Ivan also learned a lot.

But these ancient runes in front of him are older and more complex than all the ancient runes he knows, with strange and distorted patterns, they are completely hieroglyphics.

Even if Aiwen racked his brains, he still couldn't understand the meaning of these words.

"This book is yours now, and sooner or later you will know the meaning of these words. As I said, this is a powerful spell." Flamel said, "No magic is needed, just the power of words, It can be successfully cast. I sincerely hope that you will never use it."

Being able to make LeMay repeatedly exhort, the power of this spell must be beyond imagination.

Looking at the ancient text, Ai Wen had many guesses in his mind, but in the end they were all rejected one by one.

You must know that Abraham, as God's spokesperson in the world, possesses power that should not be guessed by ordinary people at all.

Ivan couldn't imagine what kind of spell this would be.

Under the gesture of Flamel, he stepped forward and gently opened the pages of the book.

The pages are heavy and very rough!

Ai Wen flipped through it briefly, and it was obvious that the book was divided into three parts, and each part consisted of seven pages.

On the front page of Part 1, there is no text, just a drawing of a stone.

Ivan recognized it as a Philosopher's Stone with just one glance.

The next seven pages were all the same ancient runes as the cover, which recorded knowledge related to alchemy, from which Flamel researched the method of making the Sorcerer's Stone.

On the first page of Part 2, there is also no text, but a pattern.

This is a huge scepter that is being swallowed by two giant snakes at both ends. Ivan was surprised to find that he had seen this scepter and these two giant snakes in other places.

Not so long ago, what happened deep underground in Aragog's lair is still vivid.

In the stone room where the terrifying eyeball monster was located, Ivan saw four magic items left by Salazar Slytherin on the last mural.

They are a locket, a ring, a wand, and a scepter surrounded by two big green snakes from bottom to top, and that scepter is the one pictured in the book.

There is absolutely nothing wrong, Ivan can be sure.

Except that the scepter is surrounded by two snakes from bottom to top, and the scepter on the painting in front of me is being swallowed by two snakes, the rest of the details are exactly the same.

There is not even the slightest difference in the lines on the body.
