Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Just the exposed part is already as big as the Centaur Moon Temple, which shows the overall scale of the building.

The white stone walls have been eroded into disrepair, and the former glory can be vaguely discerned.

Unlike the ruins left by the fallen ancient centaurs that Ivan had seen before, there were no exaggerated statues, stone carvings and murals on them.

Instead, there are complex magic lines and simple decorations, which are low-key and atmospheric.

"It's unbelievable, it's actually a relic from the age of ancient warlocks!" Keresis stared at the building for a long time before saying in surprise, "I never thought that there would be such a building near Hogwarts." Plant something."

"Well, do you want to go in and take a look?"

"I'm not interested, you'd better stay away from this place." Keresis said in a low voice, "Do you know the megalithic temple in Malta? It's also the remains of an ancient warlock. In history, there was once Tens of thousands of powerful wizards entered it at the same time, trying to explore the secrets of the ruins. But in the end, they all died inside, and no one came out alive. Since centuries ago, that place has been listed as a restricted area, and it is forbidden to Everyone close."

Aiwen knew about this, and he had read the relevant records in the book.

Known as the "Mediterranean Heart", the Malta region has a very ancient history.

The Megalithic Temple mentioned by Keresis is also known as the Temple of the Megalithic Culture Age in Malta, a complex of buildings left over from the Stone Age.

Its history is older than the pyramids of Egypt. It is the largest Stone Age temple in Europe and is also very famous among Muggles.

A total of eight megalithic temple ruins have been discovered so far, seven of which have been destroyed.

In the long history, the protective magic left by the ancient warlocks has gradually lost its effect.

The original intention of the construction of the seven giant stone temples is unknown. After losing the protection of magic, they have been corroded and weathered into ordinary buildings.

But because of this, it has become the most famous tourist attraction in the world. People who have been there often marvel at the incredible miracle, and look at the magnificent buildings piled up by countless huge stones weighing tens of tons with awe. Sigh how the ancients did this with primitive tools.

Wizards who know its history know that these buildings are the remains of ancient warlocks.

Especially the well-preserved one, the various magic and powerful magic power inside are amazingly powerful.

As of today, the secrets hidden in it have not been cracked.

The conjectures about the interior of the giant stone temple have never stopped, and there are many magic books on this topic.

But as Keresis said just now, all the wizards who dared to enter it died, and no one knew what was inside.

Maybe it was a powerful curse or offensive magic, or some kind of dangerous monster, it could be anything.

The powerful power of ancient warlocks is completely beyond the understanding of wizards today, and it is impossible to speculate based on existing magic theories.

Like the Giant Stone Temple, since the ruins in front of us were also left by Guda warlocks, we had to be careful.

"I'll give you a piece of advice, Aiwen, don't touch powers you don't understand at will, otherwise you will cause trouble beyond your imagination." Keresis said.

Judging by his appearance, he is obviously very afraid of the power of the ancient warlocks.

Chapter 537 Entering the Ruins

The strength of Keresis is still like this, which is enough to prove how powerful the ancient warlocks are.

Obviously, no matter what treasures might be hidden in the ruins in front of him, he didn't intend to go in and search for them.

Intellectually speaking, his cautious view is absolutely correct.

In the face of a powerful unknown force beyond the scope of one's ability, the best way is to hide far away.

Instead of touching it casually, otherwise you may not even know how to die.

But there is a premise for this matter. If Ivan hadn't contacted the evil god, if Voldemort hadn't taken away the statue of the evil god, he should have followed Keressis's suggestion and left here, but now he has no other choice.

The core item of this temple, the statue of the evil god, has been taken away, and there should be no danger left inside.

From the memories of the centaur ancestor Ugt, it can also be seen that he did not encounter any obstacles inside this building.

At that time, he entered the center of the ruins very smoothly, and he didn't even touch the manticore.

In addition, there is another point that makes Aiwen firm in his confidence to go in and check.

Gryffindor himself must have known about this matter. Since he showed himself the memory of Uggart in his vision, he hoped that he would come to this place. There may be a place in this ancient ruin to defeat the evil god. method.

It can be guaranteed that there is no danger beyond Aiwen's ability to deal with it.

Otherwise, Gryffindor would definitely not have told him about it.

Thinking of this, Ai Wen decided to follow the original plan.

"Thank you for your suggestion, Kalexis, but I still want to go in and take a look. We'd better set up a trap here, and then lure out the manticore inside, you control it and fight for me Time, I'll be back in an hour." Aiwen said, signaling Buckbeak to fall.

"Hmph, if you want to die, I won't stop you!" Keresis stared at Ivan with cold eyes, and said slowly, "Remember, I'm only waiting for you here for an hour. If you don't When I get back, I will leave without informing anyone else."

Ivan didn't answer, he took the package from Keresis, turned over and jumped off Buckbeak to start setting traps.

The silt on the ground is soft to step on, there is no moisture, and it is not like a swamp that people trap.

Aiwen buried the trap trigger device for capturing magical animals under the soil, and then piled the meat of the piggies on top.

He also sprinkled a lot of potions in it, which had a certain anesthetic effect.

Although I don't know if it will work on Manticore, it's not a bad thing to try.

Manticore has rich emotions and superb language ability, but because of its violent nature, it cannot think carefully.

Most of the time, I will make impulsive choices, obey my instincts, and fall into the trap.

Ivan climbed up Buckbeak, and they rose back into the sky, waiting quietly.

Without waiting for a long time, a huge red lion emerged from the entrance of the ruins.

It looked about the same size as Hagrid, with a middle-aged man's face where a lion's face should have been.

There are long red hairs around the head, the most striking ugly big nose on the face, and a pair of red eyes above it.

The eyes are the same red as the vampires, but they are neither the deep red that reaches people's hearts like Keresis's, nor Elaine's bright and lovely crimson with a touch of charm, but blood red full of rage.

Three rows of sharp long tusks grew out of its mouth, telling everyone that this was not a human face.

In addition, there are two long black horns above the manticore's head.

The horns are very thick, wrapped around each section, and bent backward, like a male gazelle.

But more accurately, it looked like some evil demon.

On both sides of the ribs are a pair of blue wings.

With the ability to fly, it undoubtedly makes the manticore even more dangerous.

At the end of it is a deadly scorpion-like stinger, much larger than a normal scorpion's stinger.

As if it had been magnified by a magnification spell, it shone with a palpitating green light and was highly toxic.

As long as it is accidentally touched, it will die in a blink of an eye.

The manticore that came out of the ruins didn't find Ivan and Keresis. It saw the food and hummed softly.

The voice is pleasant to the ear, mixed with distant magnetic whispers, with some kind of magical power.

This is his habit when catching and devouring prey. All the creatures who heard the humming sound were immersed in it, not knowing that what awaited them would be the arrival of death.

The manticore that came out of the ruins didn't stop, and rushed straight to the pile of meat that was piled up like a hill.

"Success!" Ai Wen said happily, and the progress of the matter was even smoother than he expected.

The magic wand in Keresis's hand was raised, and in the next second, six very thick chains came out from the ground, shaking in the air with a clattering sound, from bottom to top, falling into the chain at an extremely fast speed. In the trap, the Manticore, who was eating food, was tightly wrapped around it.

The Manticore, who was suddenly attacked, seemed a little surprised, as if he didn't understand what happened.

When he saw the chains that entangled him, a furious expression appeared on that person's face.

Cyan's wings were all spread out, and it let out bursts of terrifying roars, shaking vigorously, trying to break free from the control of the chains.

The muscles on its body were tense, its eyes were protruding outwards, and the scorpion tail slammed on the ground forcefully, creating a huge crater.

The chain was stretched to the extreme by it, making a clicking sound.

The manticore is so powerful that it is contending with the power of the magic chain.

With a bang, one of the chains was snapped by it.

Ivan, who was controlling Buckbeak's whereabouts, was a little surprised, which was simply terrifying.

These chains were as thick as his arms, and very hard.

It is said that there is no problem even against the fire dragon, but I didn't expect it to be broken so easily. It can be seen that the manticore is stronger than the fire dragon.

"Leave this monster to me, hurry up!" Keresis said softly.

He didn't seem to notice that one of the chains had broken, he turned around and jumped off Buckbeak's back.

A strange red and black circular arc of light flashed, his body disappeared in mid-air, and then appeared out of thin air in front of the furious manticore.

Compared with the gigantic manticore, Keresis' originally tall body looked very small.

His pale face was expressionless, his right hand pointed forward with his wand, and he cast a spell.

In the next second, countless thin red chains appeared on the manticore, trapping it firmly.

Finding its target, the manticore let out a terrifying roar. Even though its whole body was entangled in chains, it still carried the chains and rushed towards Keresis in front of it, trying to tear him apart .

There was no time to care about the battle between the two, and Ivan didn't stop after Keresis went down.

He controlled Buckbeak to fly towards the entrance of the ruins not far away. It was a huge pothole, which had been converted into its own lair by the Manticore.

The entrance was huge, and Ivan and the others got in easily.

Chapter 538 Powerful Magic

In the dark, Aiwen followed the tunnel behind the entrance all the way down.

Most of the ancient ruins have been buried deep underground, and only the top part is exposed.

This place was originally a ventilation channel in the ruins, and I don't know where it leads.

I don't know when it was transformed into a huge lair entrance and exit by the manticore.

Like a dark and deep well, Ivan and Buckbeak flew downward after entering.

All around them were old moss-covered white boulders, and there were no other forks.

This is certainly not the entrance that Uggt, the ancestor of the centaur, entered 800 years ago. The centaur is not like the hippogriff who can fly.

However, judging from the size of the ruins, he should have entered it from other places.

Of course, it is also possible that the terrifying evil god deliberately guided him to come here and find the statue.

Over the long years, the magic left by the ancient warlocks became weaker and weaker, and the evil gods gradually broke free from the power of the seal.

It can influence the creatures around it through that statue, causing them to corrupt and become its servants.

The nearby intelligent creatures, apart from the wizards of Hogwarts, belong to the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest with the largest number and the strongest power.

It is only natural for the evil god to choose them as targets, to help him collect flesh and blood, and complete the summoning magic.

Not to mention, the Philosopher's Stone kept in the centaur tribe is the source of power it needs to come to this world.

Reminiscent of the legends of evil gods and ancient warlocks, Aiwen dared not be careless, and carefully looked around.

The end of his wand glowed brightly, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Buckbeak fell very fast, but they still flew down like this for 5 minutes before reaching the bottom.

This is a huge square room, not surprisingly, it is the lair of the manticore.

The floor of the room was buried with the bones of countless creatures that the manticore had once preyed on.

The skeletons were piled up like hills, and there were bones of all kinds of creatures.

Fortunately, Ivan did not see human bones in it, indirectly proving that this ruin has not been discovered by the outside world.

Due to its proximity to Hogwarts, the vicinity is rarely visited by wizards from outside.

This dangerous swamp located deep in the Forbidden Forest is even more inaccessible, and no one has been here for an unknown period of time.

As for the only visitor, Hagrid, he probably only has magical animals in his eyes, and doesn't care about other things at all.

Aiwen let Buckbeak land on the bone pile, and there was a sound of countless bones being pressed down below.

To be honest, it feels bad to see the bones of unknown creatures piled up under your feet.

This place is simply a purgatory on earth, if it were another little wizard who came here, he might have passed out long ago.

Buckbeak lowered his head and forcefully pecked at the skull left by an unknown creature, making a dull sound that echoed in the room.
