Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Let's go in and take a look!" Ivan said.

He remained vigilant, heightened the light of his wand, and dragged Dobby down the stairs.

This passage extends downwards, and the sides and ground stairs are paved with the unique large black rocks of Hogwarts Castle. It is dark and cold, and looks extraordinarily gloomy, as if To absorb all the light.

The temperature gets lower as you move forward. I don't know when it started. Aiwen found that white mist will be sprayed out when he breathes.

The ground is slippery and covered with a thin layer of ice.

Under the fluorescent light of the wand, Ivan could see that everything was glowing with a weird cyan luster.

That is the color of frost, this is the world of ice.

He had a feeling as if he had entered some isolated ice cave of his own.

The low temperature of the cold storage above is transmitted from here, and I don't know what's underneath? !

"Master Aiwen!" Dobby said tremblingly, "Dobby feels very cold and uncomfortable..."

Ai Wen looked down and saw that the house elf was shivering at his feet, curled up into a ball.

He thought for a while, then tapped his and Dobby's heads with his wand, warm current flowed in from the place where his wand touched, as if a stream of hot water swirled in his body, dispelling the surrounding cold, allowing himself and Dobby to than get warmer.

Uneasiness and fear were expelled along with the cold, and this dark cold storage seemed to be less scary.

The expression on Dobby's face gradually calmed down, but Aiwen secretly raised his vigilance.

He could feel that the strange magic that made the surroundings colder and lowered the temperature was gradually increasing.

Reminiscent of those house elves who were persecuted with hatred and the trap, facing the unknown environment in front of him, he had to be careful.

Chapter 605 The Devil's Altar

While being vigilant, Ivan was full of doubts.

He was not surprised that he was able to find a hidden secret passage. There were many such secret places in Hogwarts Castle.

For example, Slytherin's secret room, the secret treasure of the Big Four in the huge statue, the room of response, I followed the basilisk in the pipeline in the first year, the blue room found somewhere in the Ravenclaw tower, and many more secret way and so on.

Even though thousands of years have passed, there are still many unknown secrets in the castle waiting for future generations to discover.

If you are lucky enough, you can gain something in these secret rooms and find rare magic items or magic books left by the ancestors.

If you're unlucky enough to get into the Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, be prepared to be food for the basilisk.

Of course, most of the secret rooms contained nothing, or had already collapsed into ruins.

Regardless of the purpose, the wizards who built these secret places were once a part of Hogwarts. Most of them are full of goodwill or neutral attitudes, and they will not leave dangerous traps, magical animals or curse.

But the secret space that Ai Wen found under the kitchen was exceptionally different.

Right at the entrance is a shelf full of persecuted house-elf heads, setting a trap.

Along the way, Aiwen also found many such traces of black magic, but because of the long time, these magics have been invalidated.

Fortunately, they have expired, otherwise, Aiwen doesn't know how many times he will be attacked now.

This evil and dark style is completely different from other secret rooms in the school.

It is conceivable that the wizard who built this place is a dark wizard with a distorted and dangerous personality.

He probably lived in the early days of Hogwarts hundreds of years ago, and built this secret passage deep underground in the school for some shady purpose.

Because he didn't want to be discovered, he left a lot of black magic and curses in and out of the secret passage.

To be honest, Ivan didn't want to know what a dark wizard from hundreds of years ago was planning to do, and he didn't plan to get into new troubles. He just wondered if it had something to do with the secret treasure key left by Hufflepuff...

He has got the Sorcerer's Stone left by Gryffindor, and Ravenclaw and Slytherin have clues and progress.

The murlocs and the vampires followed the two routes, and sooner or later they would gain something.

Only Hufflepuff has no clue here. Although it is speculated that Hufflepuff gave the treasure key to the house elf for safekeeping, it is of no use. The house elf whose civilization inheritance has broken down has not passed on this important secret. down.

The current house-elves and the ancient house-elves are completely different species of civilization.

It is almost impossible to find useful clues from them, and you can only find them by yourself.

Under the current circumstances, Ivan is unwilling to give up on anything that might be related to Hufflepuff.

He was going to take a look at the end of this secret passage to see what was underneath.

The temperature in the passage was very low. Ivan and Dobby walked for more than ten minutes, and the winding stairs seemed to have no end.

Now everything around was completely frozen in ice, and everything shone brightly in the light of the wand.

The ground is covered with thick ice, and the thick ice is strangely shaped, and there are not many places to stay.

Ivan walked very hard, and kept waving his wand to create a foothold for himself.

These ices are not white like ordinary ice and snow, but a strange color filled with blue halo.

That's because of the magic power contained in it. These ices are not formed naturally, but created by magic.

The magic power in the air is also strong, this is a very strange magic rhythm, Ivan has never encountered it before.

He was a little inexplicably uneasy, but he didn't find any actual danger.

This powerful magical reaction made him think of the Philosopher's Stone involuntarily, but he felt something was wrong.

Regarding the power of the Sorcerer's Stone, Ivan has seen it in four places: the Moon Temple of the Centaur Tribe, the Ruins of the City of the Fallen Centaur, the underground golden caves in the mountains around Beauxbaton, and the silent temple in the swamp. It is much more shocking than here.

If this ice magic really uses the Sorcerer's Stone as its source of magic power, its power shouldn't be so small.

Even if the whole of Hogwarts is frozen, Ivan doesn't feel strange, but feels normal.

But if it wasn't for the Philosopher's Stone, then what is the source of this magic power.

As we all know, without a stable source of magic power, magic spells, no matter how strong, will gradually lose their effectiveness over time.

Stronger wizards will extend this process as long as possible, but it will definitely not last for hundreds of years.

The useless black magic that Ivan saw along the way is enough to prove this point. The black wizard who built this place did not have the strength to maintain his magic for that long. Even if he could, the magic power he left would be It's too weak to mention, it won't be as strong as it is now.

With many questions, Aiwen and Dobby went down to the bottom floor, and at the end of the passage was an ice wall.

"Master Aiwen..." Dobby said worriedly, looking at the thick ice wall in front of him at a loss.

What worried him was what was inside the ice wall, and a circular altar-shaped building could be vaguely seen.

A statue was placed in front of that building, and blue light and complicated magic runes appeared in the middle area from time to time.

Aiwen didn't act rashly to break through the ice wall. He leaned on the ice wall and looked inside for a while, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

From the information he got in the magic book, the thing inside the ice wall might be a demon altar!

Thinking along this line of thought, Ivan suddenly understood everything.

Why has it been so long, and there is still such a powerful magical reaction here.

The dark wizard who built this place intends to summon demons underground in Hogwarts. Judging from the many traces around, he has successfully summoned once.

These magical powers that made Ivan feel strange and uneasy are all the power of demons.

A demonic altar, this is very, very evil black magic that should absolutely be banned.

As we all know, demon magic is the strongest branch of black magic, and it was once popular in the Middle Ages and the dark ages before.

In the end, because this kind of magic was too evil and too profound, it gradually disappeared from the magic world.

In the book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic", there are two simple methods of summoning demons.

Starting from those two magics, Aiwen has conducted research on this aspect and read many magic books.

The more he knows, the more he can understand how terrifying the demon-based black magic is.

Chapter 606 Demon-type Black Magic

"Master Aiwen, let's go back, Dobby is afraid!" Dobby said tremblingly, feeling fear.

Unlike before, his fear no longer came from the darkness and ice, but from the strange circular building in front of him.

Even separated by a thick wall of ice, Dobby didn't feel much at ease.

He tightly pulled the corner of Ivan's clothes, and his bulbous eyes stared at the altar behind the blue ice wall in a panic.

Seeing the cyan light flashing above the altar, Dobby flinched and hid behind Ai Wen.

He didn't know that it was an altar for summoning demons, but he just felt fear from above, oppression from instinct.

Tell him directly that this thing is dangerous, and it's best to stay away from here.

If it weren't for Aiwen still there, Dobby would have scared away a long time ago!

Unlike Dobby, who was only left with pure fear, Ivan became a little excited after a brief shock.

"Don't worry, Dobby!" He said softly, and took a few steps closer to the ice wall, "The thing inside can't come out, we are safe, a successfully activated demon altar, this is a rare research opportunity!"

Aiwen looked at the demon altar behind the ice wall with great interest, as well as the lights and magic runes flashing on it from time to time.

All signs indicate that this is an activated demon altar.

To be honest, he never expected to find such a thing in Hogwarts, which is really rare.

Even if no clues to the Hufflepuff key were found, the demon altar alone was quite a reward.

If other little wizards were present, they might have turned around and fled in a hurry, telling the school professor about it.

But Aiwen doesn't plan to do that, at least he won't do that until he fully understands the principles of this altar...

He was originally worried that it would be a powerful and aggressive black magic, but after seeing the demon altar, he was completely relieved.

From the perspective of evil and taboo, the existence of demon altars completely surpasses most black magic.

But this thing is not dangerous, as long as the demon in it is not summoned, nothing will happen.

In turn, only if the corresponding conditions are met and a sufficient price is paid.

You can use this altar to summon the demon it belongs to again.

Based on Aiwen's understanding of demonic black magic, he knows that the value of an activated demon altar is no less than a magic stone.

From the perspective of magic research, the value and significance of this altar is unimaginable.

As we all know, demon magic was once very popular, and it was the most important branch of magic mastered by ancient warlocks.

They created and summoned many powerful demons to enslave, making these magical creatures their slaves.

Expertise or not, almost every ancient sorcerer had his own demons, the most famous of which was King Solomon and his 72 Pillars of Demons.

Legends about them have also been circulated among Muggles, and have been passed down for thousands of years.

In the eyes of Muggles, Solomon is the third king of the ancient kingdom of Israel, and he frequently appears in the "Bible" verses.

But in the eyes of the wizarding world and wizards, he is a powerful ancient magician just like the prophet Abraham.

Of course, his status and strength are far weaker than Abraham.

Solomon's greatest achievement was the construction of the temple, where he is said to have placed the ark of the covenant that God made with the Israelites through Moses. It is a legendary magical item with a very special status and meaning, and is even considered to be with God symbol of.

In addition, there are 72 pillars in the hall of the temple, which seal 72 demons created by King Solomon.

These 72 demons are also called the 72 pillars of demon gods, and the giant pillars that seal them are also altars for summoning demons.

King Solomon ruled his territory relying on the Ark of the Covenant and 72 demon gods, and no one dared to resist his brutal rule.

After his death, the 72 demon gods fell apart and completely disappeared from this world.

Along with the split, there is also the country he ruled.

Later generations sorted out the "Key of Solomon" based on the 72 pillars in the temple hall, which recorded in detail how King Solomon summoned 72 demons.

Unfortunately, this book was finally lost in the long river of history.

Solomon and the demons he created and summoned are just an outstanding representative of demon magic. After his death, ancient warlocks continued to develop this magic and summoned all kinds of extremely powerful demons.They combined demon magic with other types of magic, trying to create more powerful creatures, until they summoned evil gods...

After that, the splendid ancient magic civilization dominated by ancient warlocks disappeared quickly, leaving only legends and relics handed down in the world.

Although the ancient warlocks have died out, the remaining demon-based magic has been passed down and is considered a type of black magic.

Because of the loss of many important classics, and the lack of powerful magic power and magic materials to make altars, the demons summoned by wizards are far less powerful than the evil gods of ancient warlocks, and the summoning methods are also more evil and bloody.

To make up for missing materials and lack of mana, dark wizards choose sacrifices for demons, the most popular of which are humans.

To be precise, it is a human wizard!
