Chapter 1814 The Pupa on the Giant Tree (Happy New Year)
Text Chapter 1814: The Pupa on the Giant Tree (Happy New Year)
This giant tree is also an alchemy item? What is Sirius talking about?
How is this possible? It sounds incredible! How can there be such a large alchemy creation, even the powerful ancient warlocks can't complete it? ! Besides, what is the purpose of using alchemy to create this giant tree?
Hermione asked a few more questions, but Sirius didn't explain. He just said that they will understand immediately, some things are too pale to express in words. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you feel the exciting shock.
Harry, Hermione, and Dobby followed Sirius to the giant tree. The closer they got, the more they could feel the shock brought by this behemoth.
If there is a fear of giants, then this tree is definitely the most terrible nightmare.
The dense branches were intertwined above their heads, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression. There were no leaves, only the white fruits shimmering, as if they contained something.
Faintly, some black shadows can be seen in the fruit.
Soon, they understood why Sirius said that this giant tree might also be an alchemy creation, because the branches of the giant tree were also covered with complex spell runes.
Even at a certain distance, there is a magic stone shining with magic light.
Similar to the strange alchemy creation that sent them here just now, the magic stone and the spell runes are connected by countless looming "vessels". energy.
Hermione screamed suddenly and grabbed Harry's arm beside him. Trembling all over, she looked up in disbelief.
It wasn't until this time that she realized that it wasn't a white fruit at all, but translucent chrysalis one after another, which were hung on the branches. Through the white shimmer, the black shadow inside the pupa looms.
They formed some fuzzy shadows in the shape of children, thinking about it carefully...
Hermione realized right away that they were all house-elves. Each white chrysalis represents a house-elf.
I don't know how many chrysalis are densely packed here, this picture is really too scary.
Dobby was completely terrified. He covered his eyes tightly with his ears, not daring to look, and kept muttering, "They're talking to Dobby, and Dobby wants to get out of here..."
Now, only Harry and Hermione were holding him up to keep him from collapsing.
The home of the house elves refers to this tree! Hermione had never imagined that a house-elf home would look like this.
Just from the name, I thought it would be a very warm place!
But in fact, it is not at all. Who on earth, for what purpose, used unimaginable alchemy to build this giant tree here, trapping countless house elves in it?
All of this is a mystery!
Below the giant tree is a cross-shaped building, the whole body is built with blue rocks, and the building is carved with complex patterns, which is an exotic style that has never been seen before.
"I just went in and took a quick look. They are all some alchemy supplies. But I have never seen such an alchemy laboratory." Sirius said, I don't know if it is an illusion, his voice is not loud, it seems that he is afraid of disturbing something .
With awe and vigilance, a group of people entered the building, and there were many strange stone statues, gemstones and other materials scattered inside, as well as a lot of equipment, as well as house elves carved out of stones...
Their appearance is not very similar to the current house elves, it can only be said to be similar in spirit, and there are many differences in specific details.
There are bottles and cans on the shelf beside them. The liquid inside has evaporated, leaving only empty bottles. There are also some books on the other shelf, all written in ancient magic script.
"Unbelievable, just look at the titles of these books, "The Magical Composition of Ultra-Ancient Alchemy", "The Giving and Deprivation of Life", "The Devouring Abyss: Horror Nightmare and Dreams"..." Hermione reached out to take a book, but As soon as her finger touched it, the book decayed and dissipated instantly.
"It's been too long, and many things here are fragile, only stones and gems remain." Sirius reminded, "Don't touch those things again, it may be dangerous."
"This is indeed an ancient alchemy laboratory. It may be that the ancient warlocks created the above tree and the house elves." Hermione analyzed, while carefully observing the surrounding objects, "But from these, we can see I can’t see exactly what’s going on.”
"I just want to know, if the house-elf of Hufflepuff is really back here, where is he now?" Harry asked, staring at a stone elf lying on the ground House-elves are much stronger and look more like miniature giants.
"Could it be..." Hermione didn't say it, she pointed up with her finger.
Harry didn't know what kind of expression or what to say, if the house-elf really carried Hufflepuff's treasure, wrapped in a chrysalis up there... then he didn't think it would be weird , but it must be admitted that the thought made him uncomfortable, and that they might never find him!
"Any other clues?"
"There is another door over there. I didn't go in just now." Sirius said, "If there is any secret, it may be inside. To open the door, you need Dobby's help."
"Dobby is at your service, sir."
Dobby's voice trembled uncontrollably. Ever since he realized that the white chrysalis hanging from the giant tree might be house elves, he has been covering his eyes with his long ears.
Everything here frightened him, especially the constant noise.
Everyone didn't know what to do, they had too many questions about the place. The more you see, the more questions you have.
Under the leadership of Sirius, everyone went deep into the building, and soon came to a huge corridor with hollowed-out walls. Through the corridor, they could see that they were located directly under the giant tree.
Thick tree roots that require several people to embrace are distributed around, burrowing deep into the soil. In front of the building, in the center surrounded by tree roots is a lake. As soon as I got close, powerful magic power came oncoming, and the lake itself was powered by magic power.
"This might be the Fountain of Fortune!" Hermione said with interest, feeling the magic.
"Maybe, I've never seen a spring full of magic power. It's like a lake of potion." Sirius said, "As for whether it can really bring good luck, I don't know."
The lake water is very clear, standing on the edge can see the bubbles constantly rising from below, which proves that this is indeed a spring, not someone pouring potion into it. It is these springs that provide nutrients to the giant trees above.
