Chapter 82 Merlin's Gem (Modified)

Chiron is indeed great, and what Allen admires is not only his talent, but also his character.

According to records: Hercules accidentally injured his teacher Chiron in the process of chasing and killing a centaur bandit, and he used the indestructible arrow presented by the teacher back then.

The arrow passed through the body of a centaur bandit and hit Chiron's throat behind him. Chiron was originally immortal, but Hercules' arrow soaked in the poisonous blood of the hydra Hydra, and Chiron felt the pain and torture more than death.

At that time, Prometheus was being tortured by Zeus tied to the Caucasus Mountain because he stole the sky fire for human use. One day, Hercules came here to find Hesperides. He saw the eagle eating Prometheus' liver. At this moment, he took out his bow and arrow and shot the eagle from the side of Prometheus' liver.

Then he loosened the chains, freed Prometheus, and led him off the cliff. But in order to meet Zeus's conditions, Hercules left Chiron, a centaur and half horse, on the cliff as a substitute.

Although Chiron could ask for eternal life, but in order to save Prometheus, he also suffered from the poison of the Hydra, so he was willing to sacrifice his life. Chiron decided to exchange himself with Prometheus, so that Prometheus would be free from pain and he would give up immortality, so that both could be freed.

Before that, Allen also saw related patterns on the stone wall of the Holy Land of Inheritance. Chiron could have lived forever, but it seemed to have foreseen his own death before being hit by the arrow, and specially designed and built this intricate fortress as the inheritance of the centaur. and store their treasures here. Only its direct descendants have mastered the method of stepping into this dark room.

You must know that even if Voldemort split his own soul, he still wants to gain eternal life, while Chiron obviously has the chance of eternal life, but he is willing to give up in order to save Prometheus. The spirit of others is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Therefore, Alan, who knew Chiron's deeds, would be in awe.

Matilda didn't say any more, and raised her two front legs, and under Alan's astonished eyes, she kept tapping on the stone platform in front of her.

As its last note was played, the stone platform suddenly sank to the ground, and a stone pillar slowly rose in front of Alan and Matilda. After the stone pillar stopped rising, Matilda uttered a strange and short syllable. This syllable was not a beast language. Alan couldn't clearly understand its meaning, but the stone drawer that popped up after hearing the sound from the stone pillar, Alan Len guessed what it meant, it should be "open."

And the radiant blue gemstone in the drawer made Allen unable to think about the meaning of that syllable anymore, and his heart and eyes were occupied by this gem of Merlin.

"Now, it's yours!" Matilda motioned Allen to take out the gem.

Putting this gemstone in the palm of his hand and examining it carefully, Allen found that it was not dark blue, but that kind of blue was the color of sea water or light sky blue in shallow water, and the faint blue light that occasionally flashed across the surface of the gemstone seemed to be Telling Allen about its extraordinary origin and mysterious history.

Although the magic of this gem is still unclear, Allen has fallen in love with it. Even if you don't know its origin or its magic, just relying on its radiant appearance, it is enough to conclude that it is worth a lot and is a real treasure.

Perhaps blue has a magical appeal to wizards. Ancient wizards listed blue gemstones as the top of all gemstones, thinking that blue gemstones can explain the mystery to them and predict the future.

This makes sense. When Allen held the moon gemstone in his palm, although Alan thought it was precious, he was never as cherished and obsessed with it as he is now.

"You can admire this beautiful gem at any time. After a busy night, it's time for us to enjoy the beauty of the starry sky!" Matilda expressed tactfully, it was time to leave here.

Allen understood what Matilda meant.

He carefully stuffed the gem of Merlin into his sleeve, but it was actually stored in the storage compartment of the system, and then followed Matilda out of the dark room. The moment they walked out, the wall of nothingness returned to its original shape.

Back outside, the sky filled with stars, the faint fragrance of flowers, the melodious chirping of insects... everything seemed so comfortable and beautiful, and Allen was in an extremely good mood. I got the friendship of the centaur, saw the magical Chiron gift of the centaur, and most importantly, I got this gem of Merlin that Alan couldn't put it down.

When saying goodbye to Matilda, Alan rejected Matilda's offer to let Firenze send him out of the Forbidden Forest. Alan didn't want to disturb the horsemen who were immersed in the mysteries of the stars. After making sure that no one was following him, after walking a long distance, Allen hid his figure and ran quickly to the Ravenclaw Tower.

When Allen returned to the comfortable bed, the first rays of the sun had already shone on the world, and the east was pale. Although it had already dawned, Hogwarts was still quiet. The breeze gently blew the gauze curtain in front of the window, penetrated through Alan's curtain, and soothed his excited nerves and restless heart.

Alan thought he would lose sleep due to excitement, but after kissing Merlin's gemstone, in such a quiet environment, he quickly fell asleep.

For the next two days, Allen was in a great mood. Although the exam had ended, he still maintained a regular schedule. Being able to study Merlin's gems every day during morning exercises and before going to bed has simply become Alan's most enjoyable time.

Until this day, Hermione and Ron rushed to the library excitedly and told Alan that Harry had woken up. Under Harry's pleading and Madam Pomfrey's permission, they went in and chatted with Harry for about fifteen years. minute!

Although Alan didn't intend to disturb Harry's rest, out of necessary etiquette, he still went to the school hospital and asked Madam Pomfrey to give Harry the berries he got from Gaia before, but he didn't Go in and meet him.

Obviously, Madam Pomfrey appreciated his way of visiting very much.
