Chapter 1112 The Cage
Why vampires sleep in small coffins, this ancient and incomprehensible custom has no way to study.
But there is no doubt that seeing rows of coffins in such a gloomy room can't help but make people feel chills in the back.
Especially if you look closely, many coffins are covered with dark red blood clots, silently telling the dark history of the past.
Judging from the traces of the blood clot distribution, it seems that some kind of living creature such as a human being was pushed down on the coffin and then bit down...
In addition, these coffins are very tall and large, and the top of the coffin lid is pressed by huge stones, as if they are afraid that the things inside will come out.
On the surrounding walls, the portraits of vampires with gloomy faces and evil spirits also make people shudder. Unlike the common portraits in the wizarding world, they are more like the non-magic portraits of Muggles, but their eyes seem to move, staring at look at you.
The ancient legend of vampires, the eerie atmosphere, the rows of coffins, the horrible portraits, these elements are piled up together, this place is like the final scene that only appears in a horror movie, but the most uncomfortable thing for Ivan It was the chaos of magic in the room.
He can be sure that there are countless powerful magics arranged here, as long as there is the slightest mistake or something that shouldn't be touched, these magics will be touched.
Not even the most heavily guarded vaults at Gringotts can compare to this place.
"This is the conference hall." Elaine said, her voice echoed in the room.
This hall is specially designed to make a very small sound echo loudly and linger for a long time.
"There are guards here all the year round. I seldom come to this place because I can't disturb the souls of my ancestors. When I was young, my mother told me that powerful ancestors would be buried here after death, waiting for them to wake up from their slumber. wake up."
"Sucked from deep sleep, you mean undead?"
Aiwen looked at the coffin closest to him, so it really contained the corpse of a vampire.
Or more accurately, the body of an undead creature, as they wake up.
"This sounds very similar to the ancient traditions of Egypt. The pharaohs and wizards in ancient Egypt believed that life is reincarnation, and they will eventually return to this world after death." Hermione said, also carefully looking at the complicated patterns on the coffin, "That's why they made their bodies into mummies. Last summer, when Ivan and I traveled to Egypt, we saw similar relics, especially the text left by the god of death Osiris in the Great Pyramid. : Wake up from your deep sleep, everything you can see can overcome everything that hurts you..."
"That's right, but that text has no magic power." Ivan said, "It won't wake up the dead pharaoh from his deep sleep."
In terms of the study of the ban on life, the three highest achievements in Egypt are the Sun Golden Book, the Black Book of the Dead, and the Jade Record. Among them, the Jade Record records the mysteries of alchemy. Without the decryption of the Book of Abraham, it is difficult to know The real secret hidden in it.
Even if you know it, you can't successfully refine the Philosopher's Stone.
As for the remaining two classics, they were all lost in the long river of history with the fall of Pharaoh Rabises II.
Even once powerful spellcasters cannot return to this world without the help of magic.
"It's not immortal, but special magic can make a powerful vampire warrior survive in another form." Keresis said, walking to the coffin in the center, "Of course, in addition to respecting the ancestors, the discussion The main reason why the hall is generally not approached by people is because it is a place leading to the seal, and there are many dangerous magics arranged in it."
He tapped the side of the coffin three times with his wand, and the coffin moved slowly to the left, revealing a crypt.
"I'll take the first one. Be careful not to step on the specially marked steps."
Keresis walked down the exposed stairs, marking them from time to time, turning the stairs that cannot be stepped on into green by him.
Hermione, Elaine, and Ivan walked into the secret passage in turn, and everyone focused and cautiously.
The vampire's defense measures are indeed very strict, after all, this is related to the terrible evil god in the seal.
If you don't know the correct way, even a wizard of Voldemort's strength can hardly reach the sealed place under the castle.
To be more precise, this should be a cage, the cage left by Salazar Slytherin.
Now, they are about to enter this cage.
After walking down the gloomy secret passage for about ten minutes, Elaine stopped suddenly, her face turned pale.
"I heard that voice, a cold voice, without temperature, without emotion." She said slowly, her body and voice trembling, "It mentioned fate, the fate that comes from the blood, only surrender to it can you survive in the dark redeemed..."
"It's the voice of the evil god's body, and its power is getting stronger and stronger!" Keresis' expression was also grim.
His breathing gradually became heavy, and he seemed unable to resist, allowing the evil god to whisper in his ear.
Ivan and Hermione looked at each other, but they didn't hear anything.
Because of the blocking power of the seal, the whispers of the evil god's body can only be heard by the vampires who are related to it by blood.
And because of the power in their blood, they had no way to resist, they could only fight hard, shivering in the dark.
"Call the guardian!" Ivan waved his wand upward to summon the patron saint.
Beside him, Hermione also summoned her Patronus.
The silver light fell, and the positive force dispelled the darkness and whispers of evil gods, and the conditions of Keresis and Elaine gradually improved.
"Let me come, Hermione!" Ivan said, "My magic power can keep the Patronus running."
Hermione nodded and dispersed the magic, while Ivan controlled the Patronus to fall on Elaine's shoulder.
"What a beautiful kitten!" Elaine said, looking at the Patronus on her shoulder. "It's the same as your Animagus form."
After the evolution, Aiwen's patron saint obviously turned into a leopard, but Elaine couldn't tell the difference between a leopard and a cat at all.
"That voice, it's gone!" said Elaine, closing her eyes, "but I can feel it's still around here."
"The further you go down, the weaker the remaining power of the seal is, and the stronger its influence will be. When you enter the core, you will also hear its whispers." Keresis said with concern, "Hermione, Elaine, you You can wait for us up there..."
"I want to stay!" Elaine shook her head hastily, "With Alvin's patron saint here, I'm not afraid of anything."
"I can summon the Patronus to protect me." Hermione also said, not planning to leave.
"I believe that the two of them are fine, and I will protect them." Aiwen said, looking at Hermione with firm eyes and Elaine who clenched her fists, "By the way, Keresis, you have no way to use guardianship." Is it a curse?" Browse the reading address:
