Chapter 297 Fully Functional Tower (Modified)
The underground level of the tower - the magic garden. The garden is similar to Professor Sprout's above ground greenhouse.
It is equivalent to a small ecosystem that allows Allen to plant various plants with different growing environments in the tower. The magical symbols and ancient mysterious writings in this room allow plants to thrive in the absence of sunlight.
Its floor is covered with about a foot of fertile soil and a few areas of special geological formation. Any plants that can fit in such a room can grow well here.
Among the entire tower, the one that initially intrigued Allen the most was the restraint room on the third floor.
When you step into this room, the most eye-catching thing is the five-pointed star pattern made of mithril inlaid on the floor. After several years of study and research, Allen finally understood its function until recently. At the same time, he was amazed by the power of ancient wizards.
This is a room of bondage where powerful wizards in ancient times were able to summon or control powerful alien creatures. The purpose of this room is to safely imprison dangerous species such as devils or demons. The pentagram was regarded in ancient times as a symbol of the womb of the underworld. Any creature trying to break free will need to destroy at least part of the pentagram's lines.
Upstairs in the bondage room is a dedicated spell training room.
This room has been cast with the Traceless Telescopic Charm multiple times, and its area is larger than any other floor.
Made from heavy blocks of stone and iron as well as other alloys, it is a fitting proving ground for a wizard experimenting with powerful destructive magic.
It seals the damaging effects of all spells within a room, even if the spell's actual effect range extends beyond the room. This room is very useful for mages who want to study powerful destructive spells.
However, it should be noted that this room will not provide special protection for creatures in the area, nor can it resist damage from outside the room - for example, if you use a spell with an excessive range but accidentally include yourself in it Then you have to pray for Merlin's blessing...
For Allen, although this magic training room is powerful, it is not yet able to achieve a more effective actual combat effect.
Allen has placed a large number of magic training equipment in this training room. Even if you are practicing black magic, you don't have to worry about lack of materials.
For basic magic spells, Allen placed many velvet cushions in the room, as well as some magic puppets that are larger than real people, so that little wizards can practice magic spells.
Needless to say, he was thinking of his sweet little sister, Emily, when he arranged these.
In fact, when he got the clone mirror of his mortal enemy, Allen had the idea of renovating this magic training room. But after searching through the books collected in the Hogwarts library and Ravenclaw, I couldn't find a better starting point or a more effective solution.
The phantom books that Allen recently obtained gave Allen a lot of inspiration. He made countless plans in his mind before initially completing the renovation plan for the curse training room.
The top floor of the tower is enough to impress the most romantic girl.
The stars in the sky are rotating on the ceiling, and the blue and yellow nebulae surrounding these stars look particularly mysterious and bright.
This room also contains crystal balls, arithmetic cards, and various other divination tools.
The walls of the room are inlaid with various mysterious patterns using mithril threads, which gather the energy of the tower into the room to enhance the user's detection ability.
In addition, since this room is specially designed for prophecy magic, the tower owner will get a lot of boosts when using prophecy spells in this room.
It is worth mentioning that Allen previously learned a scrying spell in the library on the second floor. This ancient spell has somewhat high requirements for wizards, but it is very magical and practical.
It was originally used by ancient wizards, that is, using some additional magic materials and equipment when casting spells, and completing a specific ritual to achieve the effect of detecting the behavior of the detected object from a long distance.
It is similar to the spell used when Voldemort was resurrected. It is also considered a kind of ancient ritual spell, but it has been basically lost and declined in modern times. When Voldemort was resurrected, he used the bones of his father, the flesh of his servants, and the blood of his enemies. . They were boiled in a crucible, and Voldemort was resurrected through such ritual magic.
The materials required for Allen's detection spell are not so evil and extreme. It only requires the eyeballs of similar creatures such as falcons, eagles, or rocs, plus some nitric acid, copper, and zinc as catalysts, and then These materials are placed in a crucible filled with holy water - Allen plans to use the Star Lake water of the centaur tribe - and boiled for a period of time, and then the scene within 10 feet of the subject can be detected through this spell.
It should be noted that if the object being detected is familiar with the person who cast the spell, or has the other person's portrait, belongings, or body part as information, then the spell will be more likely to be successful.
On the contrary, the success rate is lower.
If the spell fails, the other party will not be detected again within twenty-four hours.
Of course, this kind of ancient spell has high requirements. Allen, who has not learned much prophecy knowledge at Hogwarts, has not yet been able to fully master it. The knowledge inside the tower is a bit too esoteric, but it does not hinder his increasing interest in research. high.
In addition, in the collection of the Black family, there are not only tips for increasing the success rate of Animagus, but also some experience notes on dangerous black magic, poisons and even living sacrifices.
Even ancient wizards’ methods of summoning alien creatures for trade or enslaving them are also recorded.
There are also several interesting things in the record, which are enough to serve as a warning to future generations.
There was once an unlucky Blake who made a deal with an extremely cunning devil.
The devil provided a contract, and the contract was very fair. Black was complacent and thought he had taken advantage. As a result, he was devoured completely by the devil, including bones and dregs.
The reason turned out to be that the contract provided by the devil had very fair words on the surface, but the patterns on the parchment that were thought to be the background were actually extremely cruel and harsh conditions written by the devil in special words.
There was also a greedy Blake. In his deal with the devil, due to his imprudent language, the devil caught the loophole and died on the spot.
He made a wish to the devil, hoping to receive a ton of gold galleons.
The devil kept his promise and gave him a room full of gold coins, but it just happened to pour down from his head - his brains were split open by the gold galleons like a sudden rain, and he was eventually buried under a heavy pile of gold coins. Under the gold coins...
These bloody lessons have been recorded one by one by the Black family, so that future generations can be more vigilant when interacting with these creatures.
This part of black magic occupies a large proportion in all books.
For this reason, Allen opened a special room in the library for these black magic books and set the conditions for opening the door - when you want to enter or exit, you must use the Patronus Charm. Turn on the spell.
This ensures that those who study black magic will not be completely immersed in evil black magic and lose their mind.
