Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

The dark wizards believe that the stronger the wizard who is sacrificed, the stronger the power of the summoned demon will be.

Or do the opposite and choose witches under the age of 15.

The purer the girl's body and mind, and the more beautiful her appearance, the more she will attract the attention of a powerful demon.

Depending on the method of summoning, the selection criteria for sacrifices are different, but generally they all follow such a set of deformed evil theories.

After a brief revival of this distorted black magic in the dark middle ages, it was quickly abandoned by the mainstream of the magic world, and any wizard was forbidden to study it.

The most Ivan can find now is the various decrees of the Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards prohibiting the study of black magic of the demon system, and all related magic books have been burned.

Up to now, demonic black magic has been very unpopular.

Even if any evil dark wizard wants to use it, he probably won't be able to find relevant information.

The two methods of summoning demons recorded in "Explore the Secret of Advanced Black Magic" can only summon lower-level demons.

In addition to this book, Aiwen can find all the basic information about the black magic of the demon system.

The above only records the introductory knowledge, no matter how much you study, you can only know the superficial knowledge at most.

Aiwen is very interested in this aspect of magic, but has never been able to conduct in-depth research.

If you want to rely on the superficial knowledge at hand to summon a demon, you are looking for death!

Chapter 607 Demon Statue

The main difficulty in summoning a demon lies in the successful construction of the demon altar, which in turn creates a purely magical creature.

Building a demon altar is very difficult, requiring a lot of materials and evil and bloody sacrifices.

Aiwen can't collect most of these things, and he won't use them.

Not to mention, the process of building a demon altar and summoning demons for the first time is treacherous and prone to accidents.

Casting this kind of advanced black magic, if you are not careful, you will be in danger of losing your life.

With the superficial knowledge that Ivan currently possesses, there is not even a ten-thousandth hope of success.

With all kinds of unfavorable factors superimposed, he would naturally not try the summoning method recorded in "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic".

But if there is a successfully activated demon altar, most of the problems can be easily solved, and there are not so many worries.

As long as the conditions are met, the demons that have been created by the altar can be summoned.

All that needs to be done is to meet the requirements of this altar and use magic to enslave the summoned demons.

With Aiwen's current strength, the possibility of success is very high.

Aside from evil and taboos, demon magic is very powerful, far surpassing black magic in the general sense.

Controlling a powerful demon can help a wizard defeat most opponents.

Judging from the magic traces around it, this demon altar can summon a high-level demon with the ability to attack ice.

If there was such a powerful helper, Aiwen wouldn't have had so much trouble fighting the manticore last time.

There is no need to wait that long, and only after finding the help of the vampire Keresis can they enter the ruins.

An unknown demon can help Aiwen do many things that he couldn't do before.

There are many people who are holding back Aiwen, but there are not many who can actually help him.

To be honest, after seeing this activated demon altar, he was somewhat moved.

But what needs to be done now is not to summon the demon, there are still many things that need to be figured out.

"Dobby, let's go in and have a look!" Ivan said.

He came down the steps and tapped his wand on the ice wall in front of him.

White mist kept coming from the end of the wand, and soon the thick wall of ice melted to create a portal.

Aiwen led Dobby into it, and while feeling shocked, he had a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the entire demon altar.

The altar is made of huge stones, forming a concentric circle shape, which is much more magnificent than it looks from the outside.

The stones are roughly rectangular, rising above the ground to a height of more than ten feet.

On top of the adjacent stones, there is another stone lying across the top, or across two, or four, arranged in a peculiar pattern.

Several important positions seem to be related to the planet's changing shape, not meaningless shape.

On the top of the stone wall, there are irregularly shaped concave holes, inlaid with precious stones, emitting a faint light.

The most noticeable thing is the center of the concentric circle, which is paved with a whole piece of cyan boulder, forming a seamless one.

The surface of the boulder is painted with dark golden magic symbols and complex patterns, and the whole body glows light blue from time to time.

Every time the light blue light flashed, a large amount of cold air was released.

Because of the extremely low temperature, the cold air meets the surrounding air, causing a large amount of white mist.

Even with the protection of magic, Ivan felt a chill approaching him.

He hurriedly pulled Dobby to hide behind the boulders carefully to avoid the ice fog, and waited until the fog disappeared before continuing forward, bypassing several boulders to the core of the altar, and saw what he saw on the upper steps outside. Giant Demon Statue.

There was an ice wall before, so I couldn't see it clearly.

Now when I walked inside, I noticed that it looked like a house elf.

To be precise, it is a mutated demon based on a house elf.

The skin of this house elf is blue all over, and there is no humble, flattering smile on his face that Ivan is familiar with.

Instead, with a certain indescribable viciousness, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It raised its hands slightly upwards, making a strange gesture.

Aiwen carefully observed the statue, no accident, the demon that this altar can summon is this guy.

What he didn't expect was that this demon would be a house elf!

I have to say that the taste and hobbies of the dark wizard who built this place were really unique.

Aiwen did not enter the center of the concentric circles that flashed blue light from time to time, he used the outer boulder as a cover, and circled the entire altar.

There are indications that this demon altar has some connection with the house-elves at Hogwarts.

It appears here for no reason from time to time, and there must be some secret hidden behind it.

On the stone platform in front of the Aiwen statue used to place sacrifices, there are densely carved ancient runes.

Not surprisingly, it should record the origin of this demon and the tribute that summoned it.

These ancient runes are not too unpopular, but it will take time to decipher them all.

He recorded all these words and the magic symbols on the ground, and after searching the altar carefully, he took Dobby and left this place, preparing to study everything clearly before taking the next step.

Dobby finally breathed a sigh of relief, watching with lingering fear that the cabinet full of blue house elf heads returned to its original place, completely blocking the entrance to the passage.

At last he came out of that dreadful place down there, and he swore he would never go there again.

Aiwen warned Dobby not to tell others what happened today.

An activated demon altar, if known, would be filled with Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic to investigate before long.

Before leaving the underground freezer, Aiwen went to the room that was previously closed by a thick iron door to take a look.

Inside is the ancient Hogwarts water system, which is still in use today.

Aqueducts paved with bluestone can be seen in the room, as well as many modern plumbing networks.

Under the influence of magic, the water flow is introduced from the ground, and it is supplied to the entire castle through this place.

As soon as Aiwen and Dobby entered, they could hear the sound of rushing water.

Under the light of his wand, he found that the aqueduct was very wide, and the top part connected with the main pipe of the castle.

The water inlet extends all the way to the ground, and it is so dark that there is no end in sight.

Unexpectedly, through the water surface, the stone ladder can be seen where the canal extends downward.

This shows that when the canal was designed, people could enter it without knowing what was hidden underneath...

Aiwen didn't know the designer's principle, nor was he interested in drilling into the dark underground pipeline to check it out.

After checking and finding no clues, he took Dobby and left here.

Chapter 608 Busy Time

When Alvin and Dobby returned to the kitchen, Hermione was sitting there frowning, beside her was Winky who was still crying.

She buried her face in her hands, tears streaming down the cracks between her fingers.

The situation has not changed much from before Ivan left, or worse, Winky looks even more sad!

Hermione seemed to have given up trying to persuade her, and she looked at the house-elf in the distance in pain.

More than 300 house elves hid far away by the wall, as if they were very scared, but they dared not leave.

They stared at Hermione in panic with wide-eyed eyes, which could only see fear, humbleness and obedience.

Aiwen sighed, the difference between the current house elves and their ancestors I saw below is really big.

Hundreds of years of slavery have completely distorted their hearts, and they have fundamentally abandoned the idea of ​​independence and freedom.

Although their appearance has not changed, these house-elves are a completely different species from their ancestors.

They were slaves to wizards, willing slaves, and nothing more.

"I interviewed them to understand their views, and I just asked a few key questions, and they all ran away!" Hermione sighed, turned her head and asked, "By the way, what were you two doing just now?" went?"

"Dobby led me around and made a lot of interesting discoveries."

Seeing Aiwen's expression, Hermione didn't continue to ask, she knew Aiwen's purpose here.

Since it is an interesting discovery, it is not suitable to discuss it here.

Her brow furrowed, and she turned her attention back to the house-elves, annoyed at their behavior.

A few minutes later, when Ivan and Hermione were about to leave, the house elves who had been trembling by the wall surrounded them again.

They reached out and handed a lot of snacks to Ivan and Hermione, and asked them to take them upstairs.

Hermione refused to take it. She watched the elves bowing and curtseying, with a pained look on her face.

Alvin packed a lot of cream cakes and pies, and climbing the ice ladder just now consumed a lot of his energy.

"Goodbye, Master Irwin!" Dobby said, waving his hands, "Goodbye, Miss Granger!"

"Good night, Dobby!" Ivan said, "Remember to go up and take the clothes I gave you later."

Hearing his words, Dobby suddenly smiled.

Hermione waved at Dobby as well, and glanced at the other house-elves who had applied for the lowly.

"I've just thought about it carefully, and I think it would be ideal for those house elves to observe Dobby more!" Hermione led the way up the marble stairs, "Look at Dobby's That way, the other elves will see how happy he is to be free, and by and by they'll learn they'd like that too!"

"It's a good idea. If you want to help the house elves protect their rights, the first thing you need to do is to change their own deformed thinking of being enslaved!" Aiwen said, his mouth was full of pies, "Maybe Dobby can take the lead The effect, although unlikely, is better than your haste. I only hope that they don't look too closely at Winky."

"She'll be happy too," said Hermione, but her tone was also a little hesitant. "When this scare is over and she's used to life at Hogwarts, you'll see her leave the girl named Crowe." Life is so much easier, odd guy!"

"I hope so!" Ivan nodded, staying in Crouch's house might not even kill him.

From this perspective, Winky should indeed be happy.

In the next few days, Ivan kept thinking about the devil in the form of a house elf under the kitchen.

He looked through a lot of materials in the library, but found no clues.

Relying on the information at hand, it is almost impossible to investigate a dark wizard who lived in Hogwarts hundreds of years ago, let alone the more mysterious demon altar. information.

In the end, he could only focus on deciphering the ancient runes he had brought back.

Compared with the information of the ancient warlock era found in the swamp ruins, the work of deciphering these runes is not so difficult.

Ai Wen went to observe under the kitchen several times alone to make sure that nothing was missed.

Although these runes have a history of hundreds of years, most of the magic civilization at that time was in the same line as the current magic philosophy.

It is only a matter of time before this magic text is deciphered.

Also worried about the house-elves was Hermione, who ultimately didn't report about Dobby.
